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

[Count Morado]

its almost like a point and click image slideshow is extremely easier to make and doesnt require as much time, money and manpower. Who'd thought that?

This same discussion was had a couple days ago with a different person in the thread. We can rehash it - or you can scroll back.

is there a new incest patch

None needed. Asked and answered 3 ... 4 times in the past hour in this thread?

 

[TwoHeavens]

Dude.....90% of AAA game titles have teams of people working on them. Like....100+ Games like this have 4 or 5 people. You can't expect miracles.

youre comparing people creating a virtual world to people making an image slideshow.

Thanks for your clear opinion - you make some interesting points. I hope you don't mind if I offer suggestions:

First: I understand your concern about this topic - it's all about the Patreon. There is a "patch," however, if you can't head-canon.
Second: If there's ever been accusations of this to anyone in the thread, they have been very few and far between. Sadly, its now suspicious that you use her as your example if you were worried about that accusation, you could have mentioned any of the others you have no interest in.
Third: they are every 3-4 months, you mention that it's all gotten uninteresting anyway. Take a year or two break and come back at it with a fresher eye. There's 10,000 other games on here ... and over 2,000 (I'm guessing) with your chosen topic.
Fourth: Everyone has a different aesthetic - also, certain scenes are developed for possible multiple uses down the line. But I can understand your apprehension about the newer artwork.

Okay, I was about to abandon this game anyway. It is way below my initial expectation (my personal taste), and as I said, updates (which are worth something) are very distant, so I don't even know if it's worth wasting my time with him anymore, maybe I'll just follow the news, to see if there will be any more incest (or rework) of it.

 

[Count Morado]

Nah, I call bullshit.
Software development does not work this way.
Whoever made this mess is long gone.
Maybe they hired a few rookies to fix it, but they are surely not up to this task.

The art is ageless. It can wait for an hero who turns it into a worthy game.

And yet, it does. If you aren't completed with coding updates but want to get something into people's hands - you tweak a couple lines of the current code (99% of which was already game tested) to lessen the chance of a break with some newer content.

This way you are not having to game test the major update of code for only 6 scenes and create more headache for your and your fans. Especially with changes in code which modify a number of scenes that perhaps haven't been recoded at this time.

Well, there won't be any more incest in the game. Unless you head-canon it, tweak the code yourself, or download someone's patch. Because putting that in will have it pulled by Patreon in 3 seconds, and that's not the way a developer can make a living. I wish you the best.

are you fucking kidding me right now ??? pre tech like 999 till he's done milking

They could also make a patch and distribute it elsewhere like other devs do.

But you don't have a aaa game like that. You have to come back here. No investor wants to put tens of millions of dollars into a pornographic game about domestic incest.

I don't like that the dev doesnt go back and add to previous characters like that religious girl, been waiting to fuck her properly for ages. There are way too many characters as is.

IMO Eve best girl, all downhill from there

 

[Wishmazter]

I remember when the only discussions on this game involved how to get past a certain point or trigger this or that event now all i see is ppl arguing over this game .For me the game lost its way when they made previous saves incompatable with next version...lost count how many times i started over till eventually i said no more ,,so i will wait for the game to be finalised before i play it again!!

 

[Stareagle lord]

I believe the Tech-update is on the Horizon. I know usually it takes a few months before a new update 3-4 usually lately but considering how long it has been going I don't think it will take until summer. I hope I am wrong and it comes next month but I fear 2-3 months is going to be the wait at the very least.

 

[Dragovich189]

No way is the changelog that small after months without any update lol. That's just laughable for a game with an entire team and huge funding behind it. Man, these big-game devs always disappoint.

You mean Mia? Didn't happen because Patreons didnt vote for her. Will happen someday though.

You have no clue whats going on right? About tech update and why pre-tech and so on?

 

[sgtshorty]

Having so much fun scrolling the last 5-6 pages of the thread, just wanna say to the people complaining how DC's not doing his job properly... If anyone thinks they could do it better and faster go for it, start drawing, coding, writing dialog and so on...

Are you paid for this BS?
The code of this game is a buggy mess. Game tested my ass...
If there is really a "new" version, doing anything for the "old" version would be a waste of time.
You are still talking about a game which totally breaks if you are saving in the "wrong" place?

 

[MurkyTurtle]

Jesus, even by the standards for their Pre-Tech updates this is hot flaming garbage. Three voyeur scenes (two of them lesbian), a boobjob, a blowjob, and watching bad tentacle hentai (like "Zone wouldn't wipe his ass with this" bad) with worst girl and worst friend. And to add insult to injury, the only way you can see them is to flat out replay several of the routes! Were these girls even voted on?

That wasn't 4 months of effort, that was clearly thrown together in about two or three weeks to satiate the Patreon mob. If they're gonna delay this long they should be hitting us with fan favorites doing fun shit, not peeping at the C-list girls like we're still in version 0.02.

Previous saves are not incompatible for 2 years now. It just shows that the save was from a old version.

No it wasnt 4 months of effort, because its jsut 6 new scenes if you followed the game you would know what to expect. The effort goes into the Coding and the Posing of the real "tech update" the pre techs are only to bridge the wait time because it takes way longer then expected.

Omnikuken Are the 2 scenes with 2 variants just the scenes with Ivy, while going into the back room again?

The saves work, don't they? They worked for me. The problem is that DC simply adds new scenes in the middle of the game and you can hardly get to them if you have an old save game at the time. I find that a bit of a shame. Personally, I do not wait until the game is finished, because as soon as the tech update is finished, we will again proceed chronologically as the Patreon want it Tech-Update -> Rhonda -> Annie -> Judith.

The Tech-Update is now the update which makes everything new, scenes are painted completely new, as well as the backgrounds. More details are added and... and... and...
Only after the tech update WILL show whether the tech update caused a delay or just die way of working of the developers, die yes according to their livestreams already make a lot. The problem is also that DC has hired the other developers only on a part-time basis. If you know that now a major update is pending I would let the guys first of all to work full time and also pay so.

I am an optimist and assume that after the tech update updates will come faster, because DC has already written a lot to Rhonda and Co. He has even done a pregnant Mia. So he's already working ahead and you can see that in his livestreams that something is happening.

I am still quite relaxed. Other patreons are much more impatient. DC must deliver faster after the tech update in any case.
