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

[zol002]

See how getting “Abandoned” gets him to update? This is not just an “adult game forum”. People justifying DarkCookie and his team work ethics… either you’re a kid or don’t know how the world works with greedy people.

wouldn’t be surprised if the upcoming rushed update has 5 scenes only, and some features no one cares about (or for a few )

Is just cheap whataboutism,you will never lose the argument if you keep moving the goalposts everyday.
Acting like pornhub and this site are the same is so deranged.

Are you actually willing to explain the difference when it comes to advertising value? People see game X, want to play it, and download it. Does it matter whether you find that game here or on pornhub?

It's funny how

Okay, I know it's gonna rain salt on me for asking this question but.

Is this game actually done? like really done for?

cs I heard of a remake of the UI and other stuff happening, but the last update was like 2 years ago, so ...

Depends on who you ask. Officially the reason for lack of content is because of the tech-update taking way longer than expected to be done. There's a mix of other claims by people here that DC is milking this tech-update out on purpose.

• The tech-update is focused on recoding the whole game because it sucked and was a pest to work with.
• Bringing the whole game to 21:9 aspect ratio so we don't have those black bars anymore and fills the screen up nicely. That means redoing all of the art to fit the screen.
• Reposing character assets
• Improving UI and some art

The scope has seemingly increased though, to what extent is not sure but DC has worked on a lot of art, both new and improved, so we might see this update as a full overhaul of the game as opposed to just being purely technical enhancements.

It can happen to anyone, honestly.
I still recall the times when someone called ICSTOR his hero for releasing proper updates, when people claimed Subverse would trash SS and when people said that WaL! updates were sooo much better. You never know...

EvaKiss, who I'm sure some in here are also fans of, has also the more impatient fans of hers call her a milker in the past. Then again, she also caters to cucks, so maybe that's part of the fetish

What a dumb argument,if that was the case Overwatch should be the biggest game on earth just because of pornhub popularity but inst.
You know why?
Because people go to pornhub to bust a nut,not to find videogames to download.

I know that is not in the topic but wtf happened again with kemono? 2 weeks is frozen.

That's really not how advertisments and influencing work, but if that's really what you think, I get why people don't understand how SS can still be this popular when everybody on F95 is talking shit about it for 2 years straight.

In reality quite a few of those, who had a wank to these videos may search for the game afterwards and find DC's homepage/patreon. That's one of the reasons why his patron count stays as high as it is.

Apparently needing F95 to be THE reason a game lives or dies is very important to some people. A stroking of ego, if you will. Now if only that stroking would actually rather involve dicks, maybe that would blow off some steam.

works fine, check your isp or vpn. Heard similar things about Coomer, but can't conform these issues with my VPN

All the sites are talking shit,4chan,reddit.
Even yesterday the discord mods started to delete comments and ban people.
You need to stop acting like this site is the center of the hate when even you admit the patreons are mad.

Something I was curious about reading as a fellow developer, is that is StS officially on PornHub? Like do they have a media presence there, or is it just some people put clips of it on the Hub? To me it’s always some person speaking/awkwardly muttering in another language while VASTLY skipping through the game.

Does that really generate enough popular interest?

but aint 2 years like, enough time to finish the work ?

like there are alot of other devs hiring co-workers to speed things up, Take NLT for example: those guys cranked up 3 huge games while this remake was being worked on.

 

[Badjourasmix]

At this point it's not surprising that even the supporters would start to get mad. They were told that the tech update would take 9 months and 3 years later it's not even close to being finished.

 

[itsyeboii]

That's how the majority of people play the game as well.

it is a bit disingenuous. this forum is 100% porn game enthusiasts. we are more likely to spend money on porn games, we are the direct target audience. i would think the people on pornhub are watching a vid, spanking it, and then closing their tab after post nut clarity more so than running to patreon and signing up.

i'm not saying these sites don't bring awareness to the game but saying f95 doens't have influence is crazy.

Is such a dishonest argument,like i said before is just cheap whataboutism.
"WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER POPULAR SITE?"
People can actually download the game here,saying pornhub is more important than site is degenerate.

 

[j4yj4m]

As said, that's happening for years and his numbers even started growing. Tell me, how do you explain his numbers?

i would think the people on pornhub are watching a vid, spanking it, and then closing their tab after post nut clarity more so than running to patreon and signing up.

Am I really the only one who at times remembers some of the models and in some cases even publishers to find more material for later?

i'm not saying these sites don't bring awareness to the game but saying f95 doens't have influence is crazy.

At least I explicitly didn't say that, though. I just said that F95 matters less to SS than it does to most other games around here and that it has significant other sources of attention. And I'd stick to that opinion. There's just no way that tens of millions of views don't lead to an substancial increase in revenue for DC.

Edit: It really doesn't take a lot of people by these standards. He's losing about 3.000 to 4.000 patrons a month, so all he needs is another 3.000 to 4.000 new ones to subscribe.

You'd think so, STS is a pretty big game with a lot of content and a sandbox element to it, and apparently they didn't estimate it would be as much work as it is and there were some development issues. Still, with all that, 3 years is way too fucking long, no one's going to deny that.

I don't know why he doesn't hire more or better developers, maybe there's a good reason for it, throwing more people at a problem can often not work, or even make it harder. Maybe DC being as bad at managing as he already is, doesn't want more people under his wing that he needs to manage, or he's just too lazy to do so, he always says he just wants to draw. Or maybe he's a cheapskate, or wants the progress to go slower so he gets more money for less work.

Who tf knows, its a shitshow.

 

[Badjourasmix]

Is summertime saga on pornhub? I haven't watched regular porn in years so I don't know what is going on there. But I remember someone doing a playthrough on youtube a couple of years ago.

He himself doesn't do anything, but for example

You must be registered to see the links

will certainly have brought a decent amount of attention (I just chose a random SS video from her, she's probably got the whole game online in some form or another).

Edit: Of course DC himself does stream several times a week on picarto, which (next to his own viewers) in return generates quite a bit of third party content on youtube, facebook, X & co. simply because people rip off content from his stream and post it as news.
