Ren'Py Summertime Saga [v21.0.0 wip.6011] [Kompas Productions]

[Miðgarðsormr]

I mean, even Sploosh wrote on discord some time ago that it's frustrating to see so little movement. You have consider that the main story was supposed to take ~6 to 7 months or so at the first and the tech update was meant to take 3-4. In the end it'll probably 26 or so combined and at that point it's likely that it'll be ~ 3 years between Ronda winning her poll (may 2019) and getting her update. It's normal that people start to ask, whether that really wasn't avoidable.

Of course there are reasons, but many people can of course read and count. And I'm not talking about those who just make stuff up to complain...

Oh no. I 100% didn't mean you or other valid critique about the workflow and stuff. But some ppl are just braindead in here.
Sploosh never made it a secret if he is frustrated or mad or anything else. Even on stream. But i agree.
There are many avoidable issues currently but it started a long time ago. The main problem i see is the fact that the game got bigger and bigger but the team stayed little. And i remember a coder or something not showing up anymore and they had to try and get a new one and ppl who applied had no freaking idea what they had to do in the first place.
Same with drawing in DC's artstyle. Lots of ppl applied none made the cut as far as i remember. After a certain amount of time you just give up getting competent ppl on board anymore cause it becomes a waste of time.

And Sploosh ain't a magician either that can just pull new competent ppl out of the blue on demand. I would be frustrated as well. On the other hand they can look back and be proud of what they accomplished with the small team.

So you mean I've been right all those 3+ years ? Nice

For that i would have to know what your claim was for 3+ years.

One of Diane's milking scenes.

I wouldn't even say that the team is too small in general. For their normal update circles it's pretty much fine and I'm indeed (strongly) against other people but DC working on the art for the game as long as it isn't 101% consistent. As long as there isn't more art to work with, there's no need to expand the team. I'd fully agree that it's hard to find good people who harmonize with the team and who'll commit to such a project for longer time.

But in this tech update case they really should have known that the tasks are massive and that their current team won't manage it in 4 or even 8 months. Unlike the art nobody will see who did which work and I'm sure it should have been possible to hire a few more people to help out for some time, even if they have to pay them above average. After all, they had the time to actually prepare this whole thing.

Now it'll be another rather frustrating experience for the players...

True. Even outsourcing some of the work would have worked. But if you constantly fail to get some ppl on board cause they either leave without notice or can't copy the art style or just in general create more work instead of less you keep what you have and work with that.

I think it will stay a frustating experience for a while. They have to find a middle ground in update size and frequency.
Cause if it takes to long ppl complain.
And if its just a bit of content per update ppl complain.

Now that i think of it. People always complained as far as i can remember.

 

[mightybored]

They've always complained, are complaining now, and will be complaining in the future.

We did get to page 750+ on complaints/milkers/blinds/memes ........

If the memes are good at least you got something. But if the memes are bad..... oh boy...

Info for people: This is just an introduction to the characters (basicly), you have 1 scene with nudity and one with partial. It's an Alpha version so you cant do much (3 minutes of gameplay at best). But the art is spot on and if the creator really grinds out updates and works seriously hard on this then it will be a great game.

Looks like that's exactly what happened.

 

[Omnikuken]

I miss the point of quoting a 5+ years old post and claim the dude was right back then

I have a strange problem. When Okita masturbates MC to make the potion it gets locked in a loop. No amount of clicking or skipping effects it, she just keeps jerking him. I can't progress past this scene.

Infinite wanking or continuing to play the game, tough choice

Hi Guys,

I just updated the

You must be registered to see the links

to version 0.20.12-1.09.

Enjoy!

 

[agregen]

…I still maintain that changing the link to say “20.5+” instead of “20.5” would make more sense than reuploading the same exact file over and over with different version number attached to it.

 

[Miðgarðsormr]

So you mean I've been right all those 3+ years ? Nice

After my daugher showed me how to search for your posts only (which made it alot easier) i have to conclude that the answer to this question is yes. On the other hand i am quite proud i made it to page 900+ on my own before asking for help

And while it was a really old post from you we really do have content till 2030 for Summertime Saga

This part is very troubling ...... "Yes sweetie, help your old dad to search for lewds in this 100% legit notprondump forum. And whatever you do/happens, don't look at anything"

Maybe his daughter is grown? Idk, trying to give him the benefit of the doubt
