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

I agree that it's a game for everyone, because it's a mainstream game that includes the types of content that are universally liked. Now, you can throw a bone, so to speak, to all of the non-mainstream genres by having trans/futa content, monster girls, etc., but it will never be enough for people who love that content and wish that the whole game was like that, and it turns off the people who aren't into it. Cisgender Eve exists because some people really dislike trans content, for instance, and Daisy and Aqua are hidden. Any new kinks or fetishes DC adds at this point are likely to turn off as many people as they turn on, so they have to be made optional and gated off, and it's a lot of extra work to add a single scene to check off one more genre, which will only leave the people who like that content disappointed that there isn't more of it.

You'll never make everybody happy and I don't think it has ever been DC's goal in the first place (see Roz or boner Jesus, who combined probably triggered way more people than Eve ever will). I mean, it's not like he isn't aware that these things are for a minority, but that's especially why they should be added.
And honestly, that's just a question of where to start and where to stop. There are some who for example don't like Judith at all, because she's chubby. Should DC remove her?

Missing content to me seems to be bad argument in the case of SS, because that's basically the case for almost every character. The game offers simply a very broad range of characters, and comparatively little depth for each of them compared to even basic actual VNs.

As I've said before, SS has never been a game for people who just like "one single topic/type of character" and as such it doesn't cater to them. It's fine if they aren't fully satisfied and there are plenty of games out there, which they can play next to SS.

I could go on repeating myself, but let's just agree to disagree. A game that tries to be for everyone will turn out to be for noone in the end, that's my opinion.

I mean, we are talking about the most popular adult game on Patreon. So saying that nobody would be happy seems to be a bit of a stretch?

Edit:

You haven't been in the thread for long then

Sure, everybody complains about everything all the time. But that still doesn't mean, that (m)any of them are actually legitimate complaints

Open the main menu ? Or you mean how to unlock stuff in it ? In which case, play the game ?

Ulitmately only Eve's story and the main story are to say fully done.

I wouldn't be so sure about Eve. There is still the hinted threesome with her and Odette. Unless they dropped the part of Odette convincing her? Also isn't the prom also a part of the main story, a side arc? So there is still plenty of things to be added to all parts of the game from my point of view.

I think the "Prom" will be final Arc for this game. Choosing with who will MC goes is like choose for a girl or MILF ( :v ) or man (because it is suppose to have more gay content i believed ) or creature ( ;v ) or if it is an harem route and if it is, it will be possible a bi harem? (if we assume MC fuck everything that is humanoid :v ).

Ik zou het om minstens twee redenen niet eens zijn. Eerst en vooral is het aan de ontwikkelaar om te beslissen wat voor soort game hij wil ontwikkelen. De trans/homo/trio-content is immers al sinds 2016 "gepland". Daarnaast snap ik niet hoe iemand echt kan klagen als 95+% van de inhoud naar zijn zin is, alleen maar omdat de andere optionele 3-5% dat misschien niet is. Dat lijkt me een beetje rechtmatig/egoïstisch.

Ten tweede zou ik eigenlijk zeggen dat SS als spel inderdaad voor iedereen is (bedoeld). Ik ben er zeker van dat er veel mensen zijn die bijvoorbeeld het verhaal van Eve leuk vonden/vonden, die nooit een game zouden hebben geïnstalleerd die zich echt op trans/futa-inhoud richt. En hetzelfde zal waarschijnlijk nog extremer zijn voor de homo-inhoud. Ook is het in het algemeen een goede zaak als deze enige aandacht krijgen binnen een game die letterlijk miljoenen downloads per release krijgt, in plaats van games die door een kleine groep mensen worden gespeeld.

Het scheiden van fetisjen in afzonderlijke games is tot op zekere hoogte prima, maar het is altijd goed als er een bepaalde variëteit is. Sterker nog, aangezien SS niet echt een fetisj in het bijzonder dient. Veel mensen zullen kleine stukjes vinden die ze echt leuk vinden, maar tenzij je fetisj "vanille" is, is er niets anders dat echt opvalt - zelfs de incest (voordat Patreon erin stapte) is vrij bescheiden in vergelijking met echte incestspellen.

Bewerken: om toe te voegen, ik zeg niet dat elke denkbare fetisj zou moeten worden opgenomen - maar als het gaat om de voor de hand liggende dingen, zie ik geen reden waarom niet.

These updates without stories are really just fillers. DC's plan was to release the tech update least year, but it seems like he seriously underestimated the time it would take his team to get these "under the hood" things done. Now it looks like they are basically developing a completely new game codewise.

That's why for now we are just getting additional scenes for characters which are already in the game. These cause very little work for his team to implement.
And yes, that's a mixed bag. On one hand the game was always weak on the sexual content side and offered comparatively few scenes, so getting this many now is a good thing (things like Roxxy's BJ for example where demanded countless times). On the other hand there indeed has been no progess on the story side, which is bad.

When it comes to Steam/selling the game, DC already said that he considers the game paid by the development and he doesn't want to sell it for money later on. So if it's ever going to be on Steam, it'll be as cheap as possible (I'm not sure if you can just release it for free without paying fees there).


I'm not even sure it's that complicated. He just doesn't want to spoil the stories. When he started, he was bascially streaming everything he did and as such one already knew what was going to happen in the coming update. Now nobody knows any details and the relases became quite a bit more exiting. But yeah, they do change their plans at times, so it's probably a good thing not to promise any details.

Okay you have 1 point and say sensible things keep it up please

Sure, we may get additional scenes, but nothing that would really justify a whole update. I'm not saying that's good, as I'd like to see some changes to her story, but it's the realistic thing to expect.

Also isn't the prom also a part of the main story, a side arc? So there is still plenty of things to be added to all parts of the game from my point of view.

Well, the prom will likey get its own update(s) featuring all of the schoolgirls.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying that Eve won't get any content anymore, but only that her actual story is done and that she almost certainly won't get another update on her own.

The amount of dead ends that won't get anything doesn't mean Eve+Odette's will happen, even if they hint at it for years. Prom isn't in the main route (since that was finding out who killed MC's notdad and it's been done for more than a year). It is however a "main goal" (MC's notdad, the prom and farming enough $ for future schoolage). It will be a (possibly) huge update with every schoolgirl (Jenny and Debbie might also be included, Kevin and Erik is meh at best) when all of them get their routes and most of the game is done ...... Your point of view doesn't really work with how the game is made

1-2 months away from the next update? 0% progress/day

 

[Stil996]

1-2 months away from the next update? 0% progress/day

And how do you come to the conclusion of 0% progress/day?

the chart not changing just means nobody updated the chart

 

[Hoey]

Just because some people talked about Erik here recently, today DC talked about the option to add some kind of MC/Erik gay content into his story once he gets the rework (next to sharing June/Mrs. Johnson, of course).

Hmmm, jerking off to Erik is strange I suppose since he's fat, if there's a gay scene, I would prefer Kevin, or Ricky, or father Keeves, but he might do on a pinc.

 

[Omnikuken]

1-2 months away from the next update? 0% progress/day

Let's see how many layers of fail we can stack up on that 1 line of yours :

#1 > 1-2 months to what update ? We might get batch 5 within 1-3 months, maybe. "Real" update (tech build) is nowhere near that timeframe
#2 > 0%/day, weird how the morado FAQ says 73%/484 tasks on June 10th (2 days ago on Friday), yet the tracker now says 74%/485 tasks. So not only did they add a new task on the tracker, they finished a bunch of them to add 1% total. Obviously 0 progress
#3 > DC streams ~daily, even if the tracker implodes for months, doesn't mean they do nothing while waiting for the 1st of month $ income
#4 > While the tracker is probably the only visible progress most people have access to, it's notoriously wonky and can go months without moving, refers back to #3 and doesn't prove anything

Unless all of this was a milker trap, you got rekt pretty easily with stuff available to any1 with basic reading skills and who is able to research before coming in here and post hot junk, GJ

Is the Android port and the Linux port up to date together? or are there any delays?

 

[Count Morado]

Is the Android port and the Linux port up to date together? or are there any delays?

The developer posts free public links on their website about 24 hours after patreon links. In theory, there could be 24 hours of delay from a leaked Windows version here until the Android and Mac versions. Windows and Linux are same download from

You must be registered to see the links

As you can see from #64,099 - the latest version was linked at the same time for all versions.

 

[Omnikuken]

Linux and Windows are apparently the same link, so there. Android port is official, so it shouldn't be delayed. Worse case, try either/both and witness your stuff melting itself. Or not, doesn't really matter

>.> The main story was finished last year and everything from then is girls' routes to flesh out the rest. For a more brutal reply, scroll all the way up above your own post and check the link .......

So if it's finished, shouldn't there be an incest - themed remake? Is the latest incest patch (20.5) up - to date in terms of the game/dialogue for an incest playthrough? When was the latest incest patch added?

The game isn't finished, just the "main" story. there is still a ton of unfinished content
