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

[BrotherNewt]

Would people say this update is worth the download and time investment or is it best to wait for another update or two and play through them then?

If you have already played through any of the 5 previous pre-tech updates (v0.20.11-v0.20.15) - you can wait.

 

[Jamsalad]

Damn, I haven't played this game since 2017. Is it still buggy as hell?

You haven't missed much content since then. I would wait until it releases in another 4-5 years.

 

[zotscheetter]

Is there an updated incest patch for the 20.16 version?

 

[Retna]

NEW ODETTE SCENE!! NEW ODETTE SCENE!!

 

[Count Morado]

Is there an updated incest patch for the 20.16 version?

The incest patch that is linked from the OP (there are two links - they are the same exact files with different names and hosted in different places) works - there hasn't been any new content using those characters since that patch was written.

Fascinating, until you find out Patreon works on donations, which counters everything you posted

You don't care about phoners getting a bigger screensize. They do though, so does DC and the dev team. So you'll have to deal with it and get a wider screen at the end of the tech build's update

Tina is a side character to the main route. Said route's been done for 2+ years. Be happy she gets anything at all (INB4 the crylords come out yelling "but Odette's got more scenes than notmom Debbie" ..... So what ? Debbie needs to win a poll to get her route remade with 1 art style and her preg scenes, she won't get anything till then)
ICstor ran away from 3 games and hasn't released anything for over 2 years. DC streams daily and you get an update to Summertime every 3-4 months. 100% the same

what an incredible dick riding, damn.

 

[TurboShark]

Only if you're on an outdated computer/device or attempt to fiddle with the coding and don't know what you're doing. Are there still a few bugs found here and there? Sure. There are very few games in development that are 100% bug-free. If you're expecting bug-free from any game ('completed' or in development) larger than a few megabytes: log-off the internet, turn off your computer and go buy a new board game.

Your response to a post not directed at you seems rather hostile and very assuming. Maybe it's you who should go outside.

 

[Omnikuken]

Kinda confused here

We already know you searched this place with her. Now we need to know if you showed Innocent Witches too, so her Harry Potter memories are ruined forever

 

[ImTransAndTiny]

Honestly, I did not think about rape during that scene. I found those tiny details like "What happened to three?" just funny. I hope nobody is offended by a game, I saw much worse in other media (incl. games). If a rape victim plays porn games, I hope he/she knows what might be coming.

Oh, for sure. I've seen much worse, and you can joke about anything if you do it right. (Proof:

You must be registered to see the links

). Anon clearly never felt any fear or objection to what was happening (other than getting his dick slapped). As I said, I was skeptical that I would like Yoyo, but this was actually a pretty funny way to get Anon to fuck her.

And yes, anyone who has been sexually assaulted may run into something triggering while playing a porn game. That would be 1 out of every 6 American women, 1 out of every 33 American men, and 1 out of every 2 transgender women. It's happened to me, and it will probably happen again.

This scene was pretty low on the trigger scale. As I said, I thought it was funny. I pointed it out because we're so programmed to think about rape a certain way: it's always man-on-woman, and it's always violent. That way of thinking is so deeply ingrained that most people probably won't think "rape" when they see Yoyo touching Anon's penis without his consent, and having sexual intercourse with him without asking for consent, though he did seem to consent and enjoy what happened. I'm just pointing it out to get people to think about it, and maybe think differently about the issue. Men can be raped, and not just by other men. Maybe someone here needed to hear that, or maybe not.

Not by me.
Apparently the porn on that topic is highly advanced already and ruined whatever there was in the first place.

 

[splingmer]

I'm saying that you are just as dumb as they are for thinking a tech update (given the size of this game) would take three to four months.

Yes. That would be a dumb thing to think. Given the size and complexity of the codebase, and knowing the engine it uses, a couple of competent developers should be able to refactor the whole thing in about six weeks. I've done bigger projects in less time all by myself.

If they're not just fixing code, but are also redoing all the art from scratch, then it would take longer. Yet even as well, there is no reason for it to take years.

They have enough money to pay a team to work full time. In the time they have spent, if they really were working full time, they could have put out twenty times as much content.

I'm not saying they are doing anything wrong. They are following the rules. If users are willing to pay them for delays, then it's smart to delay, and hurrying would be a bad choice.

I just think it's silly for people to try and claim they're hurrying. They're not. They are going as slow as possible. We all know that.

I don't know anyone who is claiming that they are hurrying. I know I am not claiming that at all.

I wish dc for some reason goes bankrupt, another more competent developer saves the project and dc is forced to be a side artist of the project to pay the bills, THE ONLY THING this game had was an interesting art style and incest, now we don't have any incest, other artists make the sex scenes and dc spends time doing the most pointless stuff of the game(background, redraw character features that barely changes anything, and adding pointless pregnancy stuff) and that's pretty much it

DC said several times, that even if the game wouldn't make any money at all, he'd continue developing it as a side project next to his actual job. So be careful what you wish for or we may have to return to DC's own coding and quest design - and in that case god may help us all.

PS: He's indeed drawing every asset that's in the game himself. Yes, the animations are done by others, but of course he's the one who creates the assets to create them in the first place.

 

[SatansSausage]

Is it just me or are previous saves not compatible with this update (20-16)? I get the dreaded error which when ignored takes me straight back the very beginning at Dad's funeral. Please help if you can. Not sure I can go through the whole thing again. I'd reached as much as possible in 20-15.

Dunno and the Maria part is the whole point of the early main route since the 1st 0.20 update came out

Backgrounds getting 1/3 larger since the game is going 16:9 is pointless ?
Redraw characters with no black lines on their faces making them look 60+ when they're teens is pointless ?
Pregnancy being 1 of the main fetish/selling point since the Patreon started in 2016, so it's pointless ?

Making sense is also pointless

Might happen if you skip too many builds and try to load a save from 4 years ago. Also, does it stay on day 1 after you load or does it swap around to other places if you click through stuff ? Then keep in mind your save will be dead when the tech build comes out (whenever that is), so everything you do now (restart or not) will be voided once you get the tech update

Maria seems to be bugged Tony says she is on the storeroom but she isnt there can anyone else try to have sex with her and see if it works?
