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

[SemenDaemon]

I strongly believe that the Rhonda update will be included in this tech overhaul, although I have no proof of this, obviously.

That being said, it's not exact to say that we're not getting any new content with the next iteration of this game, seeing as there's quite a few scenes that are being expanded and reworked from the earlier parts of the game. So scenes with Jenny and Diane etc. will have some extra work put into them.

I don't see how though.
Maybe writing and art are mostly done for Rhonda but you still need to pose everything and posing is far from done with the tech update. The tech update tasks also don't include Rhonda from what I've seen on here.
If posing gets done with tech update stuff and there's like 4 months + of code and bug fixing then at that point sure they could go finish up Rhonda content. But even then all that would do is make the wait time in between shorter since code still has to finish the stuff for tech > bug fix > code for Rhonda > bug fix (wtv way you wanna put that it would take the same time). Also if they do add Rhonda to Tech update then we would see tasks being added or it would be mentioned in a status update but I for one haven't seen that.


Though I totally agree that If the upgrades to the scenes are large enough - like diane rework large - then those might as well be considered new.

At some point he will have to use decimals XD

Not required. He can always roll % back

I've seen a couple of animations like that. Are those made by fans? If so DC needs to fucking hire the person or people doing them.

He was already working with him
Apparently DS his pace of work did not suit him, because how can you do 1 animation not 3 years, it's nonsense

No chance this happens
The Rhonda update is going to be hyped before is released,gotta get those patreons lost back.
I can see DC adding some pity new minor scenes in the tech update through.

 

[dirgetka]

In a fucking heartbeat

share proof once you've done it, please

 

[romazl0]

fucking game makers

Imagine getting $114,272 in 4 months span to just say hey guys I'm still alive keep waiting for content. How is this game like patrons top 11th highest paid account over other games? Is it just their marketing? Not flaming the game but I'm genuinely confused why they have such a following.

I seriously think that bunch of the Patrons have died of covid or something and the Patreon just keeps billing their credit card

Do it, then. Ball is on your side of the court now. Let's see if there's any worth in your words.

I mean, it's quite likely that SS has been reportet countless times, given how much some poeple seem to diskike DC. I'd still say it's quite unlikely, that Patreon is going to ban DC (again), given how vanilla and clean SS is, compared to the games that have been banned.

What about the update, +-81%?

Can't wait for this game to get the abandoned tag just to see this happen:

But I can't complain, I have started playing this game for the first time a few weeks ago; the art never appealed to me. Gave it a try anyways because of its ongoing popularity and didn't regret it though it is quite time-consuming (my main reason to get annoyed with sandbox games). I'm glad I started with cheat mode and had a walkthrough in case I got stuck with a character.
It's a bit weird to be able to progress every teacher to an A+ but being stuck with Coach Bridget at the beginning.

At that point she was supposed to be part of Rhonda's update and there wasn't really time to add another teacher to the teacher's update anyway. But it's true that they should have added some kind of hint that you can't progress with her story or so (at least I dn't really there being one).

1. No chance this happens
2. The Rhonda update is going to be hyped before is released,gotta get those patreons lost back.
3. I can see DC adding some pity new minor scenes in the tech update through.

1. Agree
2. What Patreons lost? DC's been over 30k paid subscribers the past three months, not too far from his maximum counts 2-3 years ago.
3. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

was this character cut or something? i couldn't find her

 

[j4yj4m]

was this character cut or something? i couldn't find her

She's actually a somewhat popular social media/gaming personallity (pureruby87) and in basic terms DC probably removed her to avoid troubles and to be able to add scenes for her replacement (Lily) in the future, too.

Man, that pseudo-split was the one thing I disliked about Jenny's update. Those choices only affect the dialogue in the scenes directly after you choose, but they don't affect anything beyond that. If they did what you suggested and changed up the scenes a bit to incorporate some sub/dom stuff, that would've made that update a lot better IMO. I know DC's tastes are super vanilla, but if you're gonna bring up that kind of dynamic during game choices, it should actually impact the game beyond a few lines of text.

and its not like it was super complicated, Jenny route whole dilemma was her being unable and unwilling to find a job for herself

Submissive choices should've led to the camshows while the dominant choices should've ended in Jenny taking a job in whatever because of MC influence

 

[MonsterV]

My point was that Patreon's rules are a joke. They are applied very arbitrarily but on average they are increasingly insane.

Ban-abuse works, usually in silence, because the ones being abused don't usually have any way to respond.
The only blowback that can happen is once in a blue moon a PR issue is created by some side-effect. Then the company swears they didn't mean it, it was a mistake and they try again later.

If Patreon bans SS now it WILL produce a huge PR issue. DC can claim his old content was fine for 3 years under the old rules. What changed? He can victimize himself. His paypigs will side with DC. Sparks will fly. It's not the right moment.

The right moment is when a new release comes in, especially one that offers such a wide attackable area like a fully reworked game.

However, at the bottom of everything there's always MONEY vs. risk. As long as there's enough of the former and little of the latter, Patreon will arbitrarily turn a blind eye to SS breaking the rules.
When SS will slip, either financially or by stirring the paypigs into a report frenzy, the ban hammer will come. DC's accumulated money play no role in this. He won't reveal his real identity by taking Patreon to court.

god i cant wait for the milking scheme to explode in DC's face, it will be the breeding farm scandal all over again, (that is if someone close to DC actually tattles what he's been doing with the money all these 3 years)

 

[dingue]

Last news ?

 

[CptRexx]

Last news ?

Not looking good. Middle East is on fire. Everybody is mad and SS is light years away from getting an update. Back to you.

DC is a greedy goblin who only cares about money

dark magic got hit with abandoned tag faster than this
