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

[Count Morado]

Damn, i was really hoping to play the new Mia stuff too

There isn't any new Mia stuff scheduled on the horizon.

If the tech update comes out, say 1 May 2024, you're still looking at least summer 2025 before anyone gets new content that isn't on the list above.

That depends, but yes, traditionally many art submissions on Rule 34 themed sites are fan art. That has evolved over the years because of site rips, etc., but the original concept of Rule 34 "there is porn of it, no exceptions" (back in the old dial-up internet days) was fan art of things which did not already have R-rated or X-rated content. Calvin and Hobbes? Fan art porn. Star Trek: The Next Generation? Fan art porn. My Little Pony? Fan art porn. Sister and Step-Ladder? Fan art porn. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton? Fan art porn. And so on.

New Liu scene in the tech update? That's good. Liu's an 11th hour best girl.

I lean... 50% chance CM's a paid shill in some way, 40% chance a really (on the spectrum level) obsessed fanboy, and 10% chance CM is really an "it", some AI that gained sentience and is planning to use the popularity of STS and TT in the adult game market to take over the world somehow.

Honestly, back in the day, he'd just be a nice mod keeping some community active and engaged.
Though there are still high chances most guys here, including you and me, are on the spectrum. lol

I read someone's analysis on r/AVN reddit.

"

ou’re seeing a boom in AVNs, especially incomplete ones due to Patreon and other platforms making this income model viable.

AVNs preciously weren’t really sold on Steam and sold poorly. Most were Japanese VNs and were called Eroge and it was really a niche genre outside of Japan. They were sold as completed products and produced by a company.

Then huge hits like Summertime Saga and Being A DIK shows the Patreon model working…it’s like how Onlyfans changed the porn industry. Lot of copycats making US college based games with lots of sex scenes where the games are now called AVNs rather than just Eroge. It’s become its own genre.

But with Patreon, you have one or a few a devs working on the game as a part time job. And because there’s recurring payments, there’s financial incentive to stretch out a game’s development.

Why finish the game and kill the cash cow? If they complete it, would the next thing they make even be as popular?

You see these huge popular games take longer and longer to make updates, some taking more than a year to make significant updates to progress the story.

AVN stories are more akin to a soap opera or long running manga like One Piece or Naruto now. The longer it runs for the more money it makes.

And like most manga, most won’t ever finish properly and get cancelled or dropped by the dev.

Sadly, it’s the nature of the beast."

this game have some of the most consistent h-scenes in terms of quality and quantity in the site, yet it suprises me how much ppl in this thread likes to complaint about something they most likely play for free to wank. that being said, this is the only time i will speak about this discussion cause just reading it already tires me out. peace fellers

Nothing else to talk about because there is no new content. It's people who just found the game or people who are checking in on the status of the game... and if a game isn't updated for a long long time it's going to be filled with comments on the latter

Jesus Christ! Judith is the real titty monster! She can smother a man to death with those things! WHEN IS THE JUDITH UPDATE COMING!

Optimistically the Judith update is coming before the end of the decade.

Realistically it'll be the 2030's.

Do we get a smaller update again before the tech release or de we have to wait a whole year if we are lucky for the tech update?

You will have to wait. See #9, #10 in the 92nd posting of my FAQ since February 2022, below:

And because of those "morons" you and I have something to play for free directly from the developer. So, remember to thank a "moron" today instead of insulting them because without them, we'd all still be playing v0.13 at best.

hahahahahahaha, this guy... Ok first, "something to play", do you have any idea how many games are added EVERY DAY to this site? Or how many COMPLETED games like this are already out there? Or that actually get updates? And secondly, and must funny, THERE HASN'T BEEN ANYTHING NEW TO PLAY FROM THIS GAME IN LIKE 2 YEARS!!

You're making my case for me. Thank you.

I am aware of the many games added every day. I am aware of the number completed. I am aware of the number getting updates. And yet people keep coming in here to complain there's no new content - when there is a shit ton of content available everywhere else - why are they so fixated on this content? While this title sits in limbo with the tech update, people should go do something else instead of trolling the thread with the same shit daily.

Also, the point there hasn't been new content in 10 months for Summertime Saga does not change the fact that it is free to play for anyone directly from the developer and that is because of subscribers making it possible for whatever work is being done - whether it's updates or wallpapers. Without them, Summertime Saga would have even less content and even slower rate.

Mainly indeed because there aren't many really good 2D games out there.
Sure, there's a ton of nice japanese VN/RPG maker games and there are some others, but there isn't really a large number of 2D games which come close to SS, once you combine all factors like amount of content, art, animations, characters, story, etc.

And worse, those who do come close or are arguably better in some/most aspects, have (very) slow releases, too or have other drawbacks.

Edit: Like "my pig princess" for example is really, really great objectively, but there's no way it's ever going to be as popular as SS in the mainstream, simply because it's ultimately a furry game.

That's why people stick around, even if it would be better for them to just let go and care for something that's actually worth their time. Those who like DC's streams, etc. at least have a reason to be here...

I personally like Aurelia a lot. That's an even more unique game on this website considering it's retro graphics to the max. But instead of playing any of those games we got people shitting up the place because they know it's easy reactions.

But considering how other threads look like on here I think it's just the general state of the website. There IS a reason they changed the rules to prohibit complaining about devs taking too long and how much they earn. Too bad the mods aren't enforcing that shit it seems.

Yeah, I think SS just covers a massive playerbase. Many people (who like 2D art) will find somethey they like and few will see something they dislike enough to not play the game.

Once we are talking about games like Aurelia, which has a specific art style, or let's say trainer games, which feature a specific playstyle/scenario, you are starting to lose a lot of people who just don't like that style and as such won't play the game (for long).

As said, even there are so many new games every month, there still aren't many which are 1:1 alternatives. To me, the fact that SS is still this popular, even though the last 3.5 years have been this bad, pretty much proves that.

Yeah, it's pre-mainstory art though. I don't recall if they'll keep it or if it's going to be removed in the tech update.

Perhaps I didn't make myself clear enough, people who come here to discuss content make sense. It's the people I mention in the part of my post that you didn't quote who make no sense, those who are "trolling the thread with the same shit daily."
