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

[Stareagle lord]

Are you guys actually waiting for this game to be finished? I haven't played this game for years and looking at change log I missed almost nothing. From what I remember the dev wanted to implement a dating system with you going out to prom with the most special girl. If the plans didn't change then there's still a ton of work to be done and judging by the pace Kompas Productions set for themselves it will take years for this game to be finished.

I'm not trying to hate I just don't understand the enthusiasm.

I agree it will take another 4-10 years or something for the game to be 'Finished' after the tech-update arrive's that is.

The Prom is probably meant to be the 'finishing touch' of the at least school storyline part...

Now if the beach house is part of that or a new part and how trump and all will be sorted out thats another thing..

but the tech-part would probably taken litteraly forever if it had been implanted in 2-3 years later than when it was started upon...

I do agree it is taking forever but sadly it is expected to take real time coding shit... the real problem i am seeing is the fact
that the % of done shit on website during the tech-update has gone up and down for years...

This i think is what angers people the most they get 60-90% done and suddenly its back 3-5% here and 10% there...
it is driving people nuts i think i know it does for me..

The other part is the fact (as far that i know) only STS-game itself is benefitting from the tech-update-(supposedly it should make the game run better or become less buggy during new releases?...)
And given how long time everything has time and % done on coding as it is main part has run up and down...
without even mention the other parts well yeah the fact he is still alive irl not to mention still has patreons is quite
a sight..

I do truly think skyrim 6 will be released before the STS-Game is (finished)
but when Tech-update gets its release is all guessing game right now...

I was wondering where the updates were for this. "Tech" update, huh? And it's just visual novel with sandbox elements, it's not like we are talking about RTS here. With amount of money this makes on patreon, he could've hired whole team of programmers to rebuild it on GODOT with same assets easily.
Well, another title I won't get to see the end of. Makes me appreciate devs with proper production that actually finishes games(like The Architect), so much more.

Given how Starfield turned out, expect TES 6 to be just as much of a lazy shitshow.

(Excuse my bad ENGLISH it is not a "TECH" update it is a "FUCK Update" (for new year of course ....) .


he makes fun of you and you like it, you are made for this game

 

[totor83]

I means "money game"

give your money and waste your time, after all he said it from the beginning, he is doing this for himself, not for you or for the money

 

[Sewerewolf]

Drives me crazy that instead of voting for existing characters to get scenes (Annie,Judith,Ronda) the patrons voted on a fuckin tech update. I wanna see a shy cubby virgin get turned into a slut, the mean hall monitor with a superiority complex get dominated. Now we just meet another mafia member and fuck them. I remember when we'd get large scale updates every few months.

Believe me i still waiting for Judith her mother and ms smith content to be available ......

How to install for android? It gave me files instead of an apk

If you downloaded from one of these 4 host sites:

and got "files" instead of an apk, you did something wrong. Make sure you select the correct download button on the filehost web page. Delete the "files" and try again.
Or download the apk for free directly from the developer using their mega or workupload links:

You must be registered to see the links

WAIT , ASIDE FROM BATHROOM FUN , THIS VERSION HAS NO FURTHER CONTENT OF JUDITH? SUCH A SHAME

I said out, not better. ;P

 

[raygetard10]

My lust had brought me back here, to see if anything had changed. It had not.
So I returned to my post goon slumber until the next update.
Never would I wake again. For the devloper had fled to a tropical island with big sacks full of money.

There is another one with the arts teacher but thats all sadly.........

Is Starfield really that bad? I haven't played it yet, waiting on the creation kit to drop and giving moders time to work that modding magic, but is the vanilla content that bad?

Oh, I have no base for saying this, but I feel like the tech update will be ready around March. Again. No basis for that statement. I'm actually quite interested in seeing if the tech update will come out before I finish all the prologue renders for my game. I'd like for this update to come out first if I'm being real, been waiting on new content like the rest of you good folk.

Yes, it's "that bad".

I haven't played the last couple of non-technical updates, wanting to wait until after more technical updates had been done.
I sincerely hope we get the tech update in March like you guess, since that's not too far away, and fingers crossed the project will be in a state where they won't need to do more of them. At least, not large-scale ones anymore.

It ignores the strengths of Skyrim and shines a big light on the failings of their game engine. For example, it has lots of load screens, fetch quests that mean traveling through several load screens, giant empty areas with nothing to do and the plot while not bad isn't really above average either.

At this point I think a lot of folks would be okay if it came out in March because that meant it actually released.

Looks like I'll definitely be waiting a bit before I try it out. I'm also not worried about paid mods because I'm not paying for mods. If that bitch isn't available on the nexus or whatever comparable source, fuck that mod. No offense to the creator, get your paper.


It they need another "tech" update after the current update goes live then... what the fuck were they even doing? How long has this tech update been in the works now? Years? Excluding bugs, shit should be "smooth sailing from here on out" after the tech update is released. If there is ever another "tech" update, it better be because this game is getting ported to unreal or something. What would they need to update after 3 or so years of "tech" development? Coding for holographic "monitors"?

 

[Snugglepuff]

ported to unreal

Normally I'd laugh at the prospect of a VN on Unreal Engine, but sadly they exist...

I dunno, I feel like it wouldn't be bad for this game since there is already a successful formula and literally nothing needs to change. You'd just be converting everything over from a 2d point and click game to a full world 3d game. All the game mechanics can stay the same and you could even keep the fast travel options from Ren'py for people that don't want to run around the new 3d world. Could you imagine this game in full 3d with interactive scenes? Shiiiiiit. Now, will we ever get that? Probably not. But DC has made more than enough money to work on that if this game ever got finished. Could probably milk that game into oblivion too. Not that I'm saying DC is milking this one...

Android version isn't compatible with the up-to-date versions.

That'd be huge undertaking though.
Not to mention working with an engine and tools that they might not be familiar with, which would add extra time to development as they learn to use them.
At the same time, depending on the quality of the 3D world that you suggest, would make plenty of users unable to play the game at all, due to hardware requirements.

What I said about VNs on Unreal Engine, I was meaning your standard prerendered 2D art and world, just like as if it was in Ren'Py. Basically a pointless waste of something like Unreal Engine's capabilities.

But DC has made more than enough money to work on that if this game ever got finished. Could probably milk that game into oblivion too. Not that I'm saying DC is milking this one...

Funny, you say you're not saying that but I swear I can see you saying it at least twice...
