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

[Count Morado]

So I told myself I'd "wait until the tech update is done" before I'd come back to this game, which was well over a year ago now..so that's a thing.

Should I just go ahead and download what is currently available? Since it seems like the tech update is still probably a long way away. I did really enjoy the game the last time I played, and I know there have been some (small?) changes and mini updates here and there since then..but I'm still kinda on the fence about wasting my time in case the update does suddenly come soon, since last I checked saves still don't work between updates..I can only re-play a game so many times.

Saves have worked between updates for years - as has been commented in this thread for years. If all you want is to see the new content, just unlock the cookie jar using the WIFI symbol in the game cell phone.

It's up to you, but the tech update will most likely mean you will have to start over at the beginning because of the rewrite of the code.

wow, at this point the Annie update won't be out till next next springtime. Two years waiting for it.

 

[TheDishwasher]

Go look at the links to the different mods in OP.

Yeah I've been looking around no one seems to have it in any of them thanks anyway

 

[Husiraj]

hi

Lol, we might not even get the tech update by the end of the year. And you gotta get past R(h)onda's update to get to Annie's, no way you'll get both of them by this time next year.

I wouldn't do it. If you replay the game now, there's a risk you'll be bored by the tech update, as there'll be a ton of new details, but they won't be so significant to massively change these stories.
As mentioned, saves have been working during these last 4 years, yet, they almost certainly won't be usable this time.

You are still too optimistic. Best case scenario, he finishes Ronda next year.

Since we are in 100% shit on the Dev mode here, I'll contribute.

The way this game handles pregnancy is laughably bad, except its not funny, not at all. As in, it is guilty of the greatest sin a video game can commit, not being enjoyable. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it has to be fun. I'm sure not all of us were having 'fun' when Joel's daughter died in our arms in 'The Last of Us' or when Alma Wade was chasing us through shadowed buildings in 'F.E.A.R'. But those games were enjoyable, and so were those moments.

SS punishes you for getting girls pregnant. It talks up a warning that pregnancy in the game is 'serious' and you'll notice the effects. Except it isn't and you won't. The only effect is that it takes viable women OUT of the game (removes content) which is a mortal sin by anyone's estimation. But after you simply wait (you don't even have to visit the kid at the hospital or ever even ACT as a parent) the girl comes back and is slutting it up for you again, ready and willing to push out another bastard.

Two possibilities exist for this absurd dichotomy. Either the Dev hates Preg content and wants as little to do with it as possible, including not allowing pregnant sex (which is insane, and does a disservice, many of us, men and women, WANT to sleep with our LI while pregnant, both in the game and IRL) and barely allowing any special interaction at all, they aren't given different content, they aren't allowed to keep their old content, they're just stripped of basically anything they had while you wait for them to bounce back, and their kid to disappear into nursery school, never to be mentioned again.

The other possibility (the more accurate one, I expect) is the Dev is fucking lazy as hell. Doesn't want to make multiple models or modify existing sex scenes (what a fucking loser, watching some of these girls ride the MC with a bump, would be hot as hell) or make any effort at all. All under the guise of 'pregnancy has consequences'.

TLDR. The Dev is pretty lazy and it shows in their work. He also tries to cover this fact up with excuses.

Man as always, preggo lovers are always so noisy and clangerous.

he should come out and say that the tech update is not going to be finished this year. he must have a basic timeframe by now on when it will be finished, he probably just doesn't want to scare more patreons away

I mean, if you're gonna add pregnancy into the game at least do it right. I share the guy's opinion that pregnancy restricts you and doesn't add anything meaningful in return, at least there has been some pregnancy sex added by now but I really hope DC ups the ante when it comes to preggo content.

It does add something meaningful: Impregnation. Impregnation is a very popular tag in and of itself. In fact, i'm pretty sure it's a lot more popular overall, even if most people who like it aren't quite as obsessed as proper pregnancy lovers.

My main kink is impregnation, though pregnancy is also nice, personally, I would like stuff after but that would make the game way more complicated, events for raising the kid for each kid? will the exact same events repeat for other kids? stuff like that can make that sort of content quickly turn into a massive side project

I'm honestly just happy its here

 

[CoolHandChewie]

what did i miss out on this week? oh still no update

 

[CoolHandChewie]

Guess you're not looking hard enough or the wrong game

no it's dead. no real content has come out in years. just lazy 3 sec loops of animations.

 

[Simpgor]

lmao people really want to add A CHILD RAISING part to this game? Do you guys really plan to play the "Summertime Saga [v0.21.16 Pre-Prego] patch" as you are dying from some crazy future sickness?

0.21 will either be the tech build or R(h)onda's, doubt they'll get to 0.21.16

I guess that's true, I actually really like impregnation myself and love that it's in the game. But it still does feel very restrictive, and I think it's safe to assume impregnation kinks often overlap with other preggo stuff.

People have been asking for pregnant sex since the beginning (I was there to be one of those people lol), but I get that pregnancy content is not the priority at all right now and have no problem waiting. I just hope we'll get some proper updates for it in the relative near future.

Every new route will have preg stuff, as are all the remakes. "Relative near future" is the only drawback

So before it was estimated to be around June for the pre tech, but now end of the year? Is that because lack of updates from DC or just milking? I wanna play the game but holding off until pre tech.

No date was ever given, DC isn't milking and you might have 6+ months left before the tech drops. You do what you want till then, and you'll have to restart from 0 when the tech releases
