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

[Count Morado]

things are going exceptionally bad for SS

Uh, since when?

Your definition of a "proper" release is a subjective definition. There has been some kind of added/updated content added to this title over that timespan.

• Last release of an update was at the end of April, only 4 months ago.
• That's in line with a good number of the release schedules for the past 5 years on this title.
• The developer remains in near daily contact with live streaming of creating art for the title.
• The developer posts information regarding progress on their patreon at reasonable intervals.
• The developer has a progress chart on their website that is updated nearly daily.

Also, I know my response to your post will be removed when your post is removed because your post is off-topic. C'est la vie.

He meant proper release as in a release with more substance than a few scenes, you and Count Morado know exactly what he means but choose to get pedantic over dumb shit that only escalates and ruins the thread. You're more of a problem in this thread than any "milker". Get. A. Life.

You got more scenes within the batches than ~2 full routes, without the stories. It's still more stuff, even if every1 cries about no dialogs and don't wanna pretend it exists. Also, another nice double post and getting mad, the nukes will come soon

Happy 6 years anniversary and no update yet

They still got 6 days to release 0.20.15 and not get nuked by milkers who can't wait more than 4 months

Not happening. MC does everything or none at all. Either he gets the girl or she vanishes from him forever (June's case in particular, though that might change in Erik's remake). Even if there's a giant red warning in the route for every line of dialog, some duders will still yell NTR and throw a riot. Most "sharing" routes get raged upon already, imagine the meltdown if a girl got preg by another dude and you can't do anything about it, the internet would implode

eh...Sad but true.

 

[sirviper235]

Knocking a girl up definitely feels like a punishment which sucks for people who are into pregnancy. I just hope that DC drops some more scene batches in between updates or towards the end of SS's development, not only for pregnancy scenes but sex scenes in general.

Your idea for adding a girl dedicated to pregnancy content is honestly a good idea but the problem is that he will have to add yet another character which will take away from already existing characters and their (pregnancy) content. I'd rather have the current cast have a decent amount of pregnancy scenes so you'll have more variety and get to choose.

You got a solid point there sadly. And yeah it feels way more like a punishment than anything else.

Howdy there folks, I'll keep it short and on point... this is getting ridiculous. There are pages and pages of off topic here, pointless and meaningless random debates and arguments between members. This is NOT what the thread is about, you're not here to discuss the developer milking, you're not here to post far cry videos, you're not here to bicker with one another or anything inbetween. Stick to what this thread is about and that is the game itself. I just deleted two pages of nonsense, from this point onward either talk about the game or take it elsewhere.

Then mods should lock the entire thread as it seems a place made ad hoc for Omnikuken and happy friends for venting off in (dis)harmony with the counterpart. Or are we going towards the direction of WAL and its thread, that is where even negative reviews have been deleted for unknown reasons? Not going to comment further regards this topic. Cheers.

I just don't get what mods expect sometimes. The discord of porn games tend to be completely closed off, walled gardens.

If a game doesn't have content for half a year obviously people are gonna start talking other things vaguely about the game. Why is negativity not allowed?

This is a piracy site of all things and it's the place where you still can't say anything about devs?

 

[401Grem]

You deleted my post but you didn't deleted others who defending DC i dont think what you do is right . This is a pirate site you dont have right to complain about people opinion about how they talk about game you already pirating . And if someone talking about milking and you delete that post you should also delete The posts who defending DC too otherwise you just using your administrator power to defending DC. I don't care if you bans my account i had to talk my opinion
Sorry for bad english it's my 3rd language

The devs and how they do business is off topic, therefore not relevant.

 

[AimiKasumi]

how do i make the font bigger?

You can't. The Naughty Tribute Mod can.

Is there any quality of life changes confirmed in the tech update by the way? Because now is the best time to add those.

Wider screen so the phoners are happy to not fat finger the entire screen. And the code. So nothing for any1 on PC

How long does this dev plan to keep milking the subs?
The so-called tech update takes more time to release than building a skyscraper wtf...
Also, the mom route is the same for 4 years? No more story? What a waste...

Lol, how to call a nuke without even trying

So by that pro logic : either the mods are shills and do what I want or I'm magically not breaking the rules by posting my junk ....... Tinfoil hat intensifies

We're supposed to get a status update from DC at some point (according to the

) going into more detail about all the changes in the Tech Update. The huge number of added tasks, DC's caginess, and the sheer length of time this has taken makes me suspect they've gone above and beyond the original brief of widescreen and new code, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a few QoL improvements.

He's working on a new phone UI which will also add options like "story/dating progress" and other infos like locations, the player may need. Though I'm not sure, if they'll add it this time or whether it'll happen some time later on after the tech update.

Next to that the UI will be changed a bit and should be better (I don't recall what he changed, but I remember liking the outcome of that picarto poll )

Thinking about it, I'm actually not even sure what kind of qol improvements I'd want. I'd hope they'll finally get a real grip on the savegame issue and the new UIs are indeed badly needed. But beyond that, I actually kinda like that the game isn't too cluttered with information, etc. which makes some games feel a bit technical and less fluffy at times.

They did poll 3 "top bar" update ideas, dunno if any of those will be in the tech build

I think the wide screen idea wouldn't chang the size of characters, like in old version you only see 50% of the roon now you can see 80% of the room , they add some content in black area of the screen. Correct me if im wrong. I think the whole idea of of tech update was for DC and his team to make thing easier for them to do like coding but somehow they failed because its near 2 years and in this time they could have finished the whole game in old screen size we could have rhonda judith and the other girl i forgot her name by now .
Again sorry for bad english it's not my first language

Some dudes said the screen resolution got higher, so it's "zoomed out" on top of being wider. The scale would then be fucked : you got more space to fill, wider backgrounds and the girl models became smaller. Ish

"Make things easier" for future builds. They still need to redo everything now though, which is a pain and takes time. And what good would finishing the game in that time instead of the tech build bring ? You'd get 3-4 more routes, 2+ art styles for many girls, still small screen, janky to all hell code and that'd be it, since the game is "done" ...... Just accept that 3-4 dudes doing everything part time will take more time than DC wetdreamed 2 years ago and enjoy the ~33 scenes you'll have gotten while waiting

Now, there are some who would say the wider landscape will be enjoyed by PC players. I mean, this means more locations and some people want to immerse themselves by going full screen without having black bars on either side.

[swextal]

yes. it is a big waste of time

Ehm, no. It's not a waste of time. It's a rewrite of "some" code to open for new directions without bothering to add new stuff.
