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

[Omnikuken]

Russiantime Saga ? Where you play the mob running around town mugging brainless white-short dudes of their $ while they try to reach the bank ? Where everything is drab, sad and depressing ? Political spying on the Rumps is now the end goal ? Stalin is now the "real" mayor, wild (drunk) bears are in the forest and the no-smex hill is now a 1-way shortcut to the gulag ? This could be the best game ever

I have no idea why he started with russian, while its translation is only 3% done, but its nice to see the translations moving forward in general. By the end of the year the game should be out in spanish, portuguese, italian, french and german.

Hm, I just asked DC about the update again it does indeed look like the tracker is just for the first part of 0.20.5, at least that's how I understood his answer.

 

[Porn_Jesus]

Aww, why translating it? Don't give the lazy people an excuse to skip english lessons. ;__;

Probably asked more often

There are a lot of russians that play the game. He was also doing the logo in japanese.

The game needs all the characters to speak their native language. Then the full fun would begin

 

[Merosu]

Since JP is the land of H-games, translate to JP is a genius move.

Yeah, it sounds like he won't change the name in most languages and thus the logo will stay the same in most cases.

Languages with a lot of speakers and a low(ish) percentage of english speakers likely have a very high potential to attract additional players, especially since SS certainly appeals to older, well-heeled people, too. Russian, french, german, spanish, etc. are certainily very good languages to have if you want to increase the player base.

Those who care can actually take a look at the current status of the translations here:

Oddly enough, russian and japanese are really far behind, even compared to let's say chinese or arabic.

dc not wanting to grow his team/refusing to entertain the thought of hiring an artist is my biggest gripe with him

I'm sure his biggest gripe, is you thinking it's any of your business.

This game got both of these at the first shoot.

Yes, damn anyone asking for additional accessibility or not born in an English-speaking country.

 

[hapikala_donut]

lmao no way the first half was supposed to be done by now (over 2 months since last update), but it's still only half done!?

 

[A1sawad]

i hope someone can answer me, by looking at the game's version number (v0.20.1) does this imply that the game is only 20% finished? and still in development since 2016? 4 years and only 20%? or the number means something else.

So it's only for the first half of the update that was supposed to be two updates but turned into three that's already going to be a month past the point he promised it? All of a sudden I'm glad I decided against contributing to DC's patreon, as this is starting to give me that ICSTOR feeling.

Nope, 0.20 is just the version we're up to. I think the overall is ~40-45% game completed-ish.

oh ok thanks of your answer, but still it's a big "oof" lol so that means 4 more years for the game to be finished! maybe, damn,
it's just that i don't like to play unfinished games so i wait for them to be completed, and i don't mind purchasing the game once it's completed.

That's actually interesting, given that it never changed after they announced the split. So yeah, that probably means a middle to late august release for the first and late oktober/november for the second. I really hope it's worth it in the end.

Haven't kept up with the progress for a while but didn't they say it was being released in 2.5 month increments. what did he say was their reason for delaying it further?

Lol ? 99%+ of games in this place aren't finished, most of those will never be either. You should try getting your pron elsewhere if all you want is finished products. Or start lowering yourself to play partial stuff

He's obviously making too much $ to be bothered with deadlines. Or he's just waiting for early August purely to cash-in the new month's pledges. Gotta keep that milking scamlord aura pseudo-true

lol well to be honest and fair, their are games with really high quality and their devs actually finshed their games and moved on to a sequel or another game, in example a few of these games that i played or waited for them to be finished. ( Depraved Awakening, Lust Epidemic, Acting Lessons, Being A DIK *first season, Town of Passion *almost finished one more update, and many more that i forgot to mention, are on the why to be finished or they are already have been completed.
but yeah you are right there are devs that are really something else like ICSTOR's
