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

I don't get this "he's giving it away for free" thing

It has all been discussed thousands of times before.

In a nut shell: DC is not employed by you.

Nobody pays him to do anything at all. He has a Patreon project, yes, and the way Patreon works is that people who want to support somebody pay that somebody some money. That does not create any obligation other than what was promised on the Patreon page for achieving special goals, and afaik DC met all those goals and kept his promises. I think he even streamed naked for reaching one goal, but I may be wrong about that one.

He does it for his own fun, and if people pay him money on Patreon, how can any sane person think that there arises any obligation out of that? If they pay him a million per month, does he have to get divorced and work 24/7 just to meet some weird expectations? Thinking that would be like expecting Picasso to paint quicker because his paintings earn so much.

And no, saying he must hire somebody (which he did btw/) is not the correct attitude because that would also force him to do something he does not and did never want to do. Sorry, that's not how life works, and it's certainly not how Patreon works.

I know you will not accept that answer. Feel free to reply or don't, I don't care.

GTA 6 drops before SS

• No more complaints about lack of conetent, because it's abandoned
• No more questions about when the update will come, because it's abandoned
• No more complaints about DC milking the community, because it's abandoned (OK not sure about that one...)
• No more complaints when it will become abandoned, because it is

People would still complain, because they don't have anything to complain about

Non credo. All'inizio lo sviluppatore ha lavorato davvero duramente per costruire la base di fan del gioco. Aggiornamenti elaborati costantemente. Poi si è piegato alla regola di Parteon riguardo all'incesto (doveva semplicemente creare una patch che nascondesse il contenuto del gioco "ufficiale"). Invece l'ha semplicemente tagliato. E personaggi come la mamma e la sorella strega erano obiosamente imparentati con l'MC che diventava la "padrona di casa" e la "coinquilina". Da allora le cose per me sono andate peggiorando. Sì, ha messo due ottimi aggiornamenti: gli aggiornamenti di Roxy e stEve. Il resto da quel momento in poi è stato negativo per me. Ha iniziato a prendersi sempre più tempo per fare aggiornamenti, riempiendo il gioco con inutili stronzate “politiche attuali” come la famiglia Trump. La strega era obsoleta anche quando è uscita. Poi ha iniziato a fare queste rielaborazioni di cui nessuno gli aveva chiesto. Non sto parlando dell'aggiornamento tecnologico, sto parlando dei ritocchi delle scene extra di transizione dell'ambiente, tutta quella schifezza insignificante. Rielaborazione dell'aspetto dei personaggi e così via. Ora vive della sua gloria passata mungendo i suoi muti seguaci. Il gioco è praticamente finito e tutto ciò che verrà aggiunto è solo extra. Nessuno sa se riuscirà mai ad arrivare alla scuola segreta della società porno, a Judith, alla biblioteca e così via... o semplicemente abbandonerà il gioco una volta finiti i soldi.

Right now I really think the best that could happen to this thread would really be the ABANDONED tag.

• No more complaints about DC milking the community, because it's abandoned (OK not sure about that one...)

It really is a sign that the world can't have fully gone to shit yet

 

[Rickster82]

It would be really great if PATREON could block or block the payment function because the developer hasn't published any content for a long time. It sounds silly, but it has something. Of course PATREON also lives from the “donations” which is why they would never do it.

where is abandoned tag? someone tell admins to brand this lazy dev

So is the update only coming to paid members??

 

[j4yj4m]

So is the update only coming to paid members??

No, not really, there's usually a ~1 day period where it's only released for those who pay $1 or more. Within that time they usually remove the worst bugs and release the game for everybody for free after that.

Then again, SS is so popular that you'll literally find it everywhere right away anyway.

It's been a very long time now, but I'm pretty sure to remember it was one or two weeks before public release, sometimes a few days more.

Yeah, there were a few longer periods, mainly back in the days when the first release was so bad that you'd likely see some kind of game break. I don't think it was ever more than a few days, though - almost certainly not two weeks.

 

[Bodriard]

i really want a Judith update, she looks hot. Oh well, 2040 it is.

I only care about Judith, Diane, Jenny, Debbie, The Nun, and im kinda into the Principle and Annie being a BDSM threesome with the MC and I guess More Roxie, Maria and her redhead milf friend. Other than that I don't care much about any of the other girls they all feel like content just for padding bullshit content. We haven't gotten anything new for the good girls and we haven't gotten any new Milking content from Diane's barn.

 

[Dragon Sins]

I really hope that in the Tech update, you'll finally get the option to impregnate Roxxy, if it doesn't happen after all this wait, I'm gonna be sorely disappointed honestly...

 

[deskt]

He was making like 100k during the pandemic,right?
The money DC made from this game is kinda crazy ngl.

That's why I said it surprises me, and the 7-11 said it's not like that XD

GTA 6 drops before SS

and before Bully 2

Be prepared to be disappointed. It's a tech update. Not a content update. Roxxy's not even on the list for the three updates following the tech update.

Or you can just look at the posts here by Hero1. They copy and paste all patreon posts and content usually within the same day here in this thread. If your forget Hero1's name, you can also search the thread for the title of the patreon post to find it. Or if you have problems doing that, simply skim through the posts for the same date (or day after) the patreon posts to find it.

I would not give *that* advice here. Yes, this is a pirate site, but I would call it an 'ethic' pirate site. I don't think you will be tricked or scammed here. Even DC and team posted a couple of times here.

But there are those pirate-pirate sites out there that distribute pirated content from here, often outdated games already modded with multiple incompatible mods. They even fake the manifests and readmes, to misslead novice users.

I know a couple of sites that distribute outdated versions of my mod, and users keep blaming me that it will not work for them. And they fake the links in the readme to point to those evil sites instead of my thread here.

Since the artist (and main guy) is active, I wonder if this means he had a falling out with the guy he was having do the more advanced dev work, thus causing a delay on this 'tech' update in spite of all the new art. I've played with the idea of working on an adult game, but with no art skill I'd need an artist, which makes a dependency that can easily fuck you over.
