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

By the way... this is what a 4/3 to 16/9 tech update at Disney looks like

->

It's easier to crop than to add new image elements.

...its like DarkCookie would do this
->

I don't know how you see it, but I would prefer if he filled and enhanced the images instead of just cutting something away.

EDIT:
As I could see from the post below, my post was/is a bit misleading.​

To avoid misunderstandings. It wasn't meant that DarkCookie would simply crop the images ..
just because of several comments about why the tech update was taking so long and
that there wouldn't be any new content anyway, I wanted to show a little what the differences would be.​

Cropping = faster update but worse quality​

or​

Enhance, add drawings = significantly more work, slower update, but better quality.​

I worked in media design and it takes a lot of time and work to edit ~1600 images - plus additional drawings for new locations and storyline.​

I understand that you are not saying that DC is simply cropping, however it could be construed as such. So as not to confuse the average (and/or casual) reader of this thread, DC is not doing the crop method as shown in your post. Part of the tech update is that DC adds content to extend the images to 16:9 from 4:3. As an example, the new map is expanded to 16:9 display ratio from the old map's 4:3 ratio:

As DC reworked most backgrounds etc. on stream, he did indeed extend like ~98% of them properly by adding content. He only cut images, when it was really just empty space that was lost and when there was nothing to add anway.

You are missing Mayor Rump, as well as Missy.


If you do not know how to unlock the cookie jar scenes for those two, you should go to the Cookie Jar page on the wiki to follow the instructions.

It says 660 tasks? 80% finished?

Does this means it is, 660 tasks left or 660 tasks done or both..?

Why does this matter you think? Well sir/lady/etc... If 660 tasks left and about 1 task per day
gets done... it would take about nearly 2 years from here today before finished...

If it is 660 task done.. and 80% completed

that means we need about nearly compared time from now and back to starting day about compared around
300 tasks to be completed.

That means if its about 1 task a day, then it will take about a year from here...
if they finish less than 1 task a day... and it takes 2 days per task...
then it will be 2 years... etc

This is just the basic Math... But ofcourse, if he finished with 60 tasks a month-which i doubt it is because of the
amount of tasks 660 says and 80%
to me that seems to be 660 tasks done... and that was supposedly the easy/fast ones...
getting 60 or anywhere near 60 task a month from now if its more time consuming/harder tasks that
would be impossible.
However this means that no matter how we turn and crunch the numbers and all and what is what..
going lower than 1 year unless he hire's another coder etc... it won't be possible no matter how we
crunch the numbers... If things are as i fear, were looking for another 2 years before tech-release could
be done unless he hired another coder etc or is just way closer to having tech update being finished
than what we right now think?...

But with this my point stand before now within 1 year release i very much doubt it can happen..
it will take more than 1 more year before we see the tech-update in its full part...

​

186+90+78+178 = 532 completed
out of
187+131+87+255 = 660 total​

I did the math for you. Enjoy your day.

Interesting side note, but Monsters Inc. (and other Pixar movies) weren't cropped or panned/scanned to fit different ratios. They actually went through and redid the movie shot-for-shot for the home video release, changing the framing and even moving around characters to fit a shot. Here's a great breakdown of the issues that surround changing from 4:3 to 16:9 and vice versa (go to 7:30 for the Pixar details):

any mods to make mc female/futa?
like the artwork but ehh

 

[Ebet Ebety]

Good news ! the progress bar does not regress!

I can't wait, that's the thing I anticipate out of all this now. The laughs I get when that happens again, again and again... LMAO
Darth Cookie shall not be stopped!

Not at this time. There is a Small Penis Humiliation mod.

It would take a lot of time and effort to make such a mod as you are requesting. There are hundreds (thousand+?) images of the MC that would possibly need altering for such a mod because of change of body shape, hairstyle, etc, as well as genitalia. SPH Mod creator ImTransAndTiny might know a better estimate of image count that it would entail.

dw its all good, i wouldnt wanna request humongous work or anything, i was just wondering if there was such a thing already but all good, thanks for the reply : )

How to abandon project without getting rid of sponsors' money. This is the world mastery

 

[Ballsmcgee]

I really don't understand why people continue to support darkcookie. No updates in almost 2 years. It baffles my very mind.

No update in almost 2 years, and no Major update that actually affects the story in almost 3 years.

Let's see how fast this post gets pushed to the next page
I think someone is using paid trolls

Just keep paying me. One day I will deliver on your money
Come to think of it. DC NEVER Replies in here. This game has not seen an update in almost a year and a half.

Where is the ABANDONED tag?

As has been stated quite a few times in this thread - 30 April 2024. That is when you can click that REPORT button in the first post of the thread to request the Abandoned flag. You mention correctly that its been "almost a year and a half" since the last update, however F95 rules state that it has to be at least a year and a half (18 months) due to DC posting monthly reports and tier benefit content on their Patreon.

Oh noes, it's a conspiracy. By replying to you, I've added one post to the page... just a dozen or so more and you'll have to post the same text for a third time since less than 3 hours ago because we're all working against you.

So is this game ever going to get finished? It's been 8 YEARS...

Probably not. DC pretty much said as much in an interview in 2017:
