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

[ixcez]

Understood about the animator ... but still satisfies the complainer's contention of "should hire at least 4 people" (and hire another person per $10k)

Also - are you sure he didn't contract a few more posers recently (per the Christmas patreon post that Hero1 copied to this thread)?

It wasn't as much a complaint as me probably missunderstanding Omnikukens post since it mentioned they hired 2 new ppl. Also what I meant was the since the goals had hire if affordable in them my point was that if only 2 ppl had been hired then the extra 30k should have made it possible to hire at least the 4 minimum (from my understanding) in the goals. I honestly have no idea how many ppl work on the game but I thought that if it was only 3 ppl as what the post seemed to imply then yeah I thought it was to little.

On a side note I seem to have a completely different look on patreon then you guys since I don't feel it's okey to just throw money at devs and not expect anything back. With that said I am not gonna go all holier then thou and say I support or have supported every game on here though the one's I do like I support by for instance buying them on steam or on patreon.

I hope that story was everything you had hoped it would be.

God, that was eye-gougingly boring. I'd prefer a flamewar with all the milkers combined into 1 extreme crylord instead of reading that again .........

Not gonna touch the dudes hired per pledge goal, but on the 2nd part : Patreon doesn't work like anything else. It's like a charity, you donate whatever you want whenever you want and don't expect much in return (helping the cancer patients should be a reward in itself, for example). Same thing with Patreon : you donate to help support devs into making whatever crazy junk they want. They then paywall you out of that, give the "game" for free or any other random combination of "rewards". You're always free to stop at anytime if you feel shafted/the dev is a joke/the game blows/whatever else.

You're not "paying" the dev like Kickstarter, where the dev needs to output X by Y time, or the project implodes and you lose your $. You're just giving $ to help them do what they like (be it a game/music/painting/make videos on Youtube/try on lingerie and film themselves). Duders around the thread don't seem to grasp that and come crying about milking and DC being a scamlord for pocketing 1 mil $ a year doing jackshit ........

Hi guys, is there a bug that I got Dexter's book in my bag, but I still tell library I forgot Dexter's book. And no matter how many time I come back to Dexter's locker, there is a book over there. How do I fix it.

 

[Sthr ▚ nix]

So, anything new or we still can't fucking decide that DC is a milker or not?

If you are using a mod, you should try that thread first. If you aren't, there is a WIFI symbol in the game cell phone - clicking it takes you to the cheat/etc menu where you can toggle things (perhaps Dexter's book can be toggled there).

what is the difference between pre-tech and tech?

 

[Count Morado]

what is the difference between pre-tech and tech?

pre: From Latin prae- (“before”), from the Latin preposition prae.

Ergo, pre-tech update is "before" the tech update.
Bottom line is, like many things in this world, the tech update has taken much longer than expected. While the work continued on the tech update, the developer released about 40 animations/sex scene additions to content already in the game over the course of 6 pre-tech updates.

Idk but we better dedicate another 500 pages to arguing about it.

Oh I had no "hopes" really I am just a curious person by nature , I do have to sympathize with you to some extent although it appears to be partially self induced but what a pita that whole thing must have been. My curiosity has been sated, so thanks
Also welcome back to your old account , hope things run smoother this time.

Still waiting on that Judith and Ronda route content, as well as some Debbie Pregnant content.

Thanks for the update! Please come back and tell us again in 2025.

 

[Omnikuken]

Still waiting on that Judith and Ronda route content, as well as some Debbie Pregnant content.

R(h)onda : at least 6 months from now
Judith : more than a year
Debbie : way more than a year and a poll she won't win

As said above, come back in 2025 and you might have 1 of them

I'm hearing big things about this upcoming major update. A romance route for the sister will be one of the events included.

You definitely are hearing things - but not real things. Firstly, there is no "sister" in this game - at least not for 5 years. Secondly, the coming update is the tech update; finally, the coming content updates after that are R(h)onda, Annie, & Judith focused.

iirc part of the reason why updates have been slow is because coding took the most time due to it being outdated. That said, with the major tech update releasing ( soon ™ ), will that speed up the process of future updates or have they explained on why the updates will be slow still?

I don't think you are remembering completely correctly - Yes, one of the (many) goals of the tech update was to make quicker turnaround possible for testing/etc (quicker being relative -- 1 day quicker is still quicker), but that doesn't mean updates will be released any sooner (or later) because of the tech update.

Also, updates being slow or quick are also relative. If a developer takes 4 months for releases, some fans think that is slow. If a developer takes 1 month, some fans think that is slow. A developer will never quell the expectations of some fans on how much content and how short a turnaround.

While I agree DC has terrible project management skills - I think he has done the right thing when faced with some fans' animosity toward his release schedule... and that is to mostly say (by his actions, not necessarily in words), "fuck it, I can't make ya all happy - but I can do what makes me happy. If you all like it, please donate to keep me going. If you don't, don't. Fans will get the releases when you get them, and you'll get them free. Now, let me go enjoy my wife and kids and my life... the next release will be soon™."

The game was already nearing completion story wise wasn't it? It seems like a bad dev decision to completely rework internals of the game that's already nearly finished content-wise, instead of simply doing that work on whatever next project they'd have planned. Any "time savings" from doing this work have been completely lost from taking so long to do it. And now they're Patreon support is on a major downtrend as a result...
