i know nothing about programming but damn i would never imagine coding a renpy game could be such a time consuming task. How long have they´ve been with this? Maybe their coding a Summertime Saga MMO RPG, or maybe they coders are really slow or bad even.
It would be interesting to hear from then about the difficulties regarding updating the old code.
python coding is the easiest one there is and ren'py is even easy and fast, that's why there is so many people doing games, even though they never did anything of the sort before. reasons as why it takes to long has much more to do with how much they handle the project than how they code. summertime saga in my opinion is one of the games that takes to long for new updates, but it's worth it. the gameplay is pretty smooth compared to other in-door games, i would go as far as to say it's the easiest one to navigate around, and it has built-in cheats, lets you choose where to start from and even lets you unlock the scenes, if you just want the good stuff. i don't even really post here often, i just check the news and bail out, because this is the type of game that you can say it's ready when it's ready, its pretty fun i think
