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

[Count Morado]

There's no way he'll lets Rhonda's update take that long. Maybe I'm one of the masochists you referenced, but I'd say six months max. This update has taken so long that even die-hard fans have expressed their frustration. Another two and half years of this would be suicide and DC already has a rep for slow updates. I bet DC is stressed AF and just wants to get things back on track again once this update is done.

Yup. He was talking about you.

The last pre-tech update came out in Feb, the expected next pre-tech update is another month or two away and the tech update is currently expected after that (at least another 3 or 4 months beyond), then it will take a couple months or more (3 or 4, most likely) before the currently planned R(h)onda update. As you can tell, on the short end, you're looking at 7 months -- on the long end 10 or more. (See #8 & #9)

Also, your observation of "slow updates" is more your personal perception than the fact. 3 to 4 months between updates, on average, aren't slow. And DC doesn't appear anywhere near "stressed AF" in his picarto streams, not does he appear to present the idea that anything is off-track.

For your other belief that "die-hard fans" have expressed frustration, sure - some have. However, it hasn't affected his subscriber numbers - he remains the number 1 adult game creator on patreon for subscriber numbers (almost twice that of the number 2). And his numbers have remained steady during this whole tech-update process.

You got a broken /spoiler tag at the end there, guess your copy/paste skillz are starting to slack off after quoting yourself 50 times in 3 months

I'm seeing alot of people fighting but it is true that this dev takes REALLY LONG to make an update.

Apparently both the complete overhaul of the game's art and re-coding it from the ground up doesn't warrant some time to people around here. Milking is a better option

It's not true. 3 to 4 months between updates is not "really long" - especially not a game at this stage of its development with the vast amount of storyline and imagery involved (20k+ images). And the developer is putting out small updates while the major change from 4:3 to 16:9 plus reposing of every character in every dynamic scene, as well as recoding of the entire game is being undertaken.

What you have is a lot of people who have no idea what it takes to progress a project - whether it be a game, or whatever - whining that they can't blow their load to new scenes every couple of weeks.

Not trying to start a fight but even before the art overhaul it took him half a year just to make a new update

Are you even reading anything before you post? Or researching your facts?

This game never has taken that long before offering an updated of some kind. I posted my handydandy FAQ just 5 posts before yours that I'm replying to. Look at #12 below. No update has taken longer than 6 months. There have been a couple at 5 months. Most have ranged in 3-4 months.

Did I sound serious Bro? lol, your just talking out your ass. If it is not that serious as you say then why do you feel the need to spout nonsense? and then double down on your senseless babel.

Don't you know? Talking about Porno games is super cereal business

Yeah, Yeah, you've had your fun, nothing to see here , now move along.

Bro, did you even read my post properly? I meant six months after the tech update, not from now(okay, amittedly could've been clearer there). Also, I wasn't expressing my opinion about development time, I meant that's how others perceive it (as you can see by the constant milking posts). Like it or not, that's the rep he has. Lastly, he is off track. This update took far longer than he predicted. It should've been done months ago by his estimation.

I am aware that I will embarrass myself with my question.
But I didn't quite understand why the tech update is necessary?

6 months to what ? Every update is ~4 months since 2017. People have been moaning about everything since 2016. He never predicted something that actually arrived on time. Ever. Whatever he says is never 100% concrete. Since 2016. Any1 remotely following DC for more than 5 mins will never try to argue his time perception is nothing short of ultra fail

I am aware that I will embarrass myself with my question.

Take 5-6 dudes, make them code crap on top of each other for years, while trying to have a game function somehwat properly. Then figure out all that junk needs to be cleaned and optimised. Hire a new coder to redo most of everything made before him and "trim the fat" around said junk code. Then have him "future proof" the new stuff so that the game doesn't wanna die every 3 builds and no1 has to go back in there every year to check if the code won't implode upon itself the moment something new gets added (like a 5-6 choice branching per girl once we get to the dating routes). Might wanna add the complete rehaul of the entire art to 16:9 which needs to be re-posed and re-coded into the new baseline if you wanna add stuff to explain why it takes time

Anything official is not going to have what you are looking for it goes against patreons TOS , all mods are un-official and have nothing to do with the Dev. I almost can't believe you don't know that already, are you a patreon plant?

>.> If you know what "official Android port" means, you don't ask that

sorry for not being a pro fapper lmao

 

[Omnikuken]

sorry for not being a pro fapper lmao

Good on you for not following basic info on Patreon since December 2017. You're the 1 coming out of the woodwork with wonky stuff, most of us are only here for the lulz

Yes, could have been clearer - because your opinion "There's no way he'll lets Rhonda's update take that long... I'd say six months max" gave no indication you meant after the tech update. Anyone new to the thread would think you mean by October at the latest for R(h)onda, not November at the earliest.

Nearly everything you stated in your post is an opinion and an interpretation from your perspective - not any foundation or statement of fact.

• "but I'd say six months max" (opinion)
• "even die-hard fans have expressed their frustration" (less fact and more lack of clarity and specificity - how many die-hard fans? 1? 10? 1%? 5%?)
• "two and half years of this would be suicide" (opinion)
• "DC already has a rep for slow updates" (opinion, because many developers - warranted or not - have a rep as 'milkers' ... and it says more about the people with that opinion than the developer, themselves)
• "I bet DC is stressed AF" (opinion)

I am aware that I will embarrass myself with my question.

Yeah, this question has been answered time and again. Using the search box in the upper right corner of any page would give you the answers you seek - however, since there aren't enough people who are doing that - here's my updated (again) FAQ -- see the new #8:
