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

[Omnikuken]

Seeing all the Odette hate (me included) makes me wonder...
Is there an 'official' ranking of the SS' girls? I mean, what are the fan favorites?
By the previous pools I can already confirm that Roxxy, Eve and Jenny must be the S tiers but what about the rest?

God, I miss Debbie. Remenber when the main selling point of this game was the incest? Remenber the Jenny and Debbie update? Those were the days. I also think the Diane update kinda ruined her, she went from the wine cool aunt with a secret to just a woman with a breastmilk fetish.

Grace seems pretty far up there. Debbie and Judith win for the "most whinage a girl has no scenes but nobody votes for her in a poll". Though Judith will actually outclass Deb in that department in 2 years when we get her route

Sigh, still no Debbie :'(

I haven't played this game in like a year. Is it worth picking up again now? Or should I just wait another year?

game is done - its just a tiding up things now.

That's a naïve response - there are years of updates remaining.

 

[0009000]

ah okay my bad

How do I unlock the gallery? Not the cookie jar

You'll keep sighing for nothing for the next 3+ years, hope you enjoy

You all remember when DC said that the whole tech update would take around 4 to 5 months?

He means 4/5 years

 

[Count Morado]

He means 4/5 years

Right?

It's amazing how sometimes a person can underestimate how much work is involved in unraveling and straightening out 4+ years of code written by 4+ people with skills as low as pleb (DC, himself). And then adding scenes along the way to release while the tech update continues. Making sure those scenes get in the new code, as well. Then, on top of that ... making sure all 20,000+ images that make up the scenes in the game are posed in the right locations when backgrounds go from 4:3 to 16:9. And then, for some reason, more tasks are added along the way when it's realized how some things need tweaked that initially weren't a problem but now creates issues moving forward. DC's not without his faults - but at the same time, there are projects that are bigger than initially considered (kind of like that roofing estimate that blows up when the roofer finds out there's dry rot in the rafters that wasn't apparent when they came out to bid the job).

Now, let's go download the game for free to the public off his website tomorrow to show him what we really think of his delays?

If you are correct on the workflow they chose, then you answered the problem in your post. Pleb level coding skill is choosing to "unravel" the code and try and reuse it vs starting from scratch. The sheer number of problems created from trying to use "years of code written by 4+ people" when it is faster and cheaper to start the coding from scratch. They might encounter problems they cannot resolve and be forced to start over. I am just making an assumption from your post and maybe they did start from scratch from the beginning. Either way it is a lot of work for one person. To throw a light jab though, half of one month of this games income could hire a team to get it done in ~two months with clean architecture "best practice" code. But having my own projects (not porn games), I TOTALLY get not wanting others coding my projects or even see my work or code.

edit: when I say two months I mean JUST code. I have no fricken idea how much posing and art would take which I imagine would take much much longer

 

[grobulos]

its to only game who went stay as a sexgame. Best ever. thx for your work

 

[bebo92]

I didn't play since the Trump update, I wanna know if there are new sex scenes with MC sis and his mother.

Actually - I think you mistook what I stated or I didn't make myself clear enough.
DC isn't unraveling the code. He hired an experienced coder to unravel those 4+ years (actually 6+ years) of coding that DC (the plebian coder) had started writing in the beginning and then had several people over the years mostly patchwork into the existing code.

Probably not - probably just revamped animations or alternate angles. There's a changelog in the game if you want to download it ... the link is on the main menu, you can scroll back through all the updates and see what they entail. Or you can quickly glance through the changelog in the OP for general details of each update.

This is sad for me. It's been a long time. They are my favorite character. What about the fat girl in the toilet?

Same answer. No. Judith's update is planned after R(h)onda's and Annie's - both of which come after the tech update sometimes in the next (hopefully) 6 months or so.

Judith, if it makes you feel better she no longer sends out lonely text messages begging you to come see her in the stall. Bad news is there's still the Tech Update, Rhonda and Annie routes before Judith fully gets her time in the sun. So, I dunno, probably about two years from now. So $2,000,000 from now. and thus the bait is laid...
