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

[Count Morado]

so what is actually going with this game right now?

See below:

The last I heard is that they would release a third pre-tech update, and if they keep their working pace, I would expect it mid of February. And I also heard that they might release some scenes with the tech update as well.

But that's only speculation.

Rhonda's house:
Rhonda and her parents (Jackie/Earl) now have a home in Summerville! For those who have not been following the live streams, here's all the rooms in her house which will be accessible in her upcoming update (after Tech update).
This coming week I will likely finish the last location that's been added to the new wide map, which is the log cabin in the woods...

Tech Update:
Yes, we're still making efforts to wrap up the Tech Update, which is heavily reliant on Posing in terms of development. We've added a few more Devs again to the Posing team in order to speed things up.

3rd batch of scenes:
The 3rd batch of scenes is also been in the works. The art for them is done but still in the process of finishing the animations for it (which takes a bit of time to reach good quality). We will release it when ready. <3

So, what i don't get is...
Already 10 months passed since they started working on the tech update. And they made 40% of the posing and coding. It's the rest of it going to take 15 months?. Couse that seems a disaster.

Where did you get that assumption of 15 more months?

Also, how much money has this update release cost you?

I haven't paid a cent for the game and there are a ton of other things I do with my life whether or not another update ever comes out.

They hired at least 2 new posers but the tracker has been dead since at least October. For all we know, they could have finished the update last month and are just milking people till June .......

Now you are just being a tease.

Ngl, Liu is slowly becoming my favorite girl.

Relax, I am not complaining. It just seems they got into a mess and I don't see how they re going to get out of it. The 15 month is just a matematical assumption. 40%=10 months, 60%=15 months. If it doesn't work like that it still seem they have a hell of a job in front of them.

So, you think they did progress but don't published it. Wierd but not wierder than no progress in 3 months.

wonder if this game will be completed before it hits ten years of development lol

You might be surprised, but DC has no intention of ending the game, it looks like he's going to milk this game for the rest of his life.

Cookie is a dairy farmer now?

You can have sex with all eligible women in the game, there is no "end game" with anyone at this time. You can just keep having sex over and over and over and over ...

I think his query was more based on the fact the game has branching paths where you clearly choose one character over another - do you tap your yoga loving neighbour or the geek at school instead? The game has a couple of instances like that.

I wouldn't agree that's a good argument. He's merely stating obvious facts. Thing is, I've been following the progress of this game for 2-3 years now and I'm slowly getting over it. The creator is sick or has a flu every 2 months. Progress is obviously slow as hell. I'll look back in 5-10 years for shits and giggles, just to see what became of this. I do salute him tho, I probably would do the same.

Be completely anonymous and stretch it out. Perfect.

It's the appearance of whinging for no reason except to be whinging. I agree with your conclusion about doing the same. I would as well. The remainder I typed for whingers.

Spoiler: TL;DR if people don't like the long time between updates, they should move on to something else

Just to point a few things at dudes above :

-DC's part of the update was done before Xmas, as is the case for every update since he started hiring dudes to help 4 years ago
-He got 3 kids since the start of the game, him getting sick every 2 months with those kids is 100% normal
-Crying a free game on a pirate site you're not supporting takes time and makes $ on donations is beyond braindead
-Goes with above > never in the 5+ years of dev time has the Patron count/$ per month went down, so again crying he's a milklord that abuses people is braindead at best. Unless you wanna claim the entire Patron-dude-base are tards that like to get fucked out of ~3$/month for years and you (the whiner) are the only dude with enough bigbrain power to figure out DC's scheme
-DC's ability to predict anything past 3 secs from now is notoriously pathetic, we already knew last Summer we wouldn't get anything resembling a complete tech build until ~March

Probably a few more to list but hopefully some randos get the point. And yes, DC pays me a good chunk of $ every month to come in here and shill him

Just as a nice tangent: Those new backgrounds look amazing. Which means most of the old art will have to be redone because itll look out of place as fuck. But it does look REALLY fuckin good. I can't believe how much this game has grown over the years for a mostly 2D game. Especially when it's a sandbox lewd game where the sandbox isn't gawd awful.

Now we're all supposed to fuck the backgrounds instead of the girls? Nah, that's not my fetish
