Ren'Py Summertime Saga [v21.0.0 wip.5258] [Kompas Productions]

I also don't think money has anything to do with it, however, I disagree that it's because he needs another artist. I think he just needs a person to better organize the whole project. The team doing DMD and Melody is doing 2 games at once with a fixed schedule, and the product is still very high quality stuff. That's what great organization can do for a project. That's why no matter what you look at, whether it's in business or event in hospitals there's always a position of team manager to help guide everyone in the right direction.

I think hiring project manager would help more than hiring another artist or animator.

But it's a prideful thing, at the moment DarkCookie is managing the project and in my opinion his nature isn't too good for managing things, people who watch his streams can agree with me? Sadly he'd never hire project manager, like a real one with few years of experience.

Two reasons:

1)he is currently self-employed, and he cannot "hire" someone real unless he registers his company(certainly project manager cannot be commissioned unless he is fooling around haha ; p)
2)I can't bring myself to imagine patreon developer hiring project manager to help him organize things, it's just too vain.

For every bug they fix they add 15 more. Hahahahahahahaha!

IT'S FUCKING RENPY! How are they fucking up the code so badly? This is even more hilarious than the fact they didn't know how to add saves when saves are a LITERALLY IN-BUILT MECHANIC OF RENPY! Hahahahaha!

Last time I played I'm pretty sure I used the save/load function

I think he means the save compatibility between version, which it's native in ren'py.

1. Hiring manager doesn't make sense in such a project. There is a good joke about project managers. They are people who think that 9 women will give birth in one month. As a freelancer I would not hire a person who only tells me what to do and set unrealistic deadlines - this I could do by myself.

Another thing is about those "realistic dates". 2 weeks ago, after a week stuck at 97%, DC posted "almost finished" and that we wait for last 2 animations. At that point, bug testing should start. I can't imagine that now, after 2 weeks, we have 200 bugs with those 2 animations that were finally delivered. That is, in fact, bad project management.

0.17 was released 6 months ago - If this update doesn't end up having lots of content then I see no point in further supporting it.

The fact that people don't know how to cound kinda bothers me. The update was released 5 months ago not 6.

[HawkCantfly]

Yeah, and each and every of those 193-157=200 bugs will format your harddisc, drink your last beer and boink your wife.

so there is still 36 bugs to fix? on discord there are 5 or so QA testers online right now. could this mean the release is today? also why is the writing not at 100% yet?

DC and Sploosh both said 2 days ago that right only testing is left. That said, according to Dogeek a bug can be everything from real bugs to small posing errors which are fixed within minutes. So we don't really know how much work there's left and how many addtional testing runs they have planned. I think by now it's safe to say that it won't happen today, but sometime next week.

Spoken like someone who doesn't understand programming. Having an engine that does some of the work for them does not take away the complexity and intricacies of programming.

Most people count from the November update, not the December update since the December update was two minutes long.

I mean, the update included a new character, 3 small quests, pregnancy and one sex scene. There are still quite a few games out there who'd call that a regular update.

 

[Prevat]

Why don't they test the game with placeholders again?

At this point, I'm wondering if using the modularity of C++ isn't more optimal than renpy.
