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

[Badjourasmix]

you are on this set path where you try to discredit F95 involvment in DC's decision making, it's what you have been doing for past few days and each time someone points to a solid argument against it, instead of adressing it, you just choose to move the goalpost, just like you did with this reply. if F95 matters so little, please explain why DC himself logged onto the website the very same day his game was getting abandoned?

To be fair he actually browses the forum pretty often he just doesn't comment.

 

[PietruccioTheHilander]

If you want a reasonable explanation? Likely because he got way above average messages reminding him of F95 and as for the timing? Because it was part of the monthly end of the months summary, which would have dropped around that day as it does every month. I know that answer will not satisfy you at all.

To counter your point. Looking at his rewards, you can actually see that DC was online/logged in quite a bit during the last months (like on new year 2024) and such he will have known, that the tag was coming. Are you really suggesting he'd wait for the last day to then not actually do something about it? But I digress, that point has been made many times before that.

I think it's really strange that he decided to split the technology update into 2 parts, just when the tag arrived, Why didn't he ever talk about it before?

Realistically, if he was concerned about the tag then he'd have released something earlier to avoid it, instead of just planning/announcing something scheduled 1-2 months afterwards. Not like it'd be hard to do so.

As far as username7's explanation goes, that decision seems to have been made before that and given the above average amount of Jenny art DC produced in the last weeks/months, it's indeed likely that he was planning this for longer and didn't just start 2 days ago. Why else would he have focussed on Jenny (and even to some degree Debbie) that much on his streams?

As for the split? I mean, nobody is denying that they have to release something sooner or later. Not releasing anything for 18 months is ridiculous. So by splitting the update they get a lot of upsides and - objectively - only very few downsides. Sure, it'll take even longer in total, because they'll have to take care about the releases and such, but that's likely meaningsless by now.

And as to why he didn't talk? I mean, it's still a controversial thing to do, which you probably want to be sure about, before you introduce it to your patrons. Hinting at it beforehand will almost certainly do more bad than good. At least that's how I usually tackle these kind of decisions. Once you've announced them with some degree of certainty, it's hard to take them back.

You seem to have some serious confidence issus about your position, if you've got to bring that up in every sinlge post now. I'm still waiting for your reply, but all your are posting is this. How does DC manage to actually gain patrons if the most important sources of the game are opposing him for years?

He probably blocked you.

Oh yeah he still released updates every 2 weeks. We're now waiting for him to release his next game.

Hmm, maybe I'll check Genesis Order out. I just generally despise RPGMaker porn games.

Im done with the whole pornhub discussion,i said this yesterday.
Is good to know the other users think like me,trying to discredit this site while posting here all day is just ironic
F95 IS NOT IMPORTANT BTW

 

[Erectosaurus]

Again, why would you come here and register when you can download the game on DC's homepage (which is far higher up on any search engine you'll find) for free with just one click? The people who will download SS from F95 are those, who have been on F95 before they got to know SS. But that's surely only a very small proportion of DC's patrons.

It's actually kinda shocking how thick the F95/4chan/etc, bubble seems to be...

Because this is a site full of thousands of adult games conveniently in one place? Someone interested in adults games isn't just going to stop at a single game. They're going to branch out into other games that hit their fetishes. It's shocking how many smoothbrain takes you keep having.

DC mentioned a very long time ago, that one update had been downloaded over million times from his homepage (I think I mentioned it here, but I can't find it now). Will a few ten thousand guys round here make up for that? It's shocking how far you seem to be stuck in that same bubble, if I may say so.

The average SS player isn't some porn connoisseur posting stuff on 4chan, but a dude in south east asia playing on his mobile.

Nah, it's reming me a bit of the old days. Just like the time when people claimed that removing the incest would kill the game.

I mean, these arguments will get mugged by releatiy pretty quickly anyway.

 

[MikeOG]

It amazes me that there are so many grown up people here who are arguing over a porn game. I guess some people have a lot of free time.

what did you expect ? kids shouldn't play or watch porn
Adults are the ones that do that.

 

[j4yj4m]

Yeah I am usually not a fan of RPGM games but NTL's are the exception for me.

NLT's games are great once you are new to them. But at least I had troubles finishing TND (having played Lust Epidemic before) and couldn't even really start TGO without losing interest right away. It just felt like he's sacrificing too much important content, to keep the schedule. But there's obviously an audience for that, so it's good he's out there.

When someone says something like that, I always imagine them turning off the PC after the message, grabbing a beer and talking to their friends for four hours about football or some shit. Everyone has hobbies, I believe. But it's really strange to see your comment on the porn game forum.

To be fair, DC only lost about 585 "real" subs over the course of 3 months. This game has been abandoned for years but it doesn't really matter.

 

[Balddog]

Man, I swear that every time I find a new game, band movie etc, that I really enjoy, there is always horrific baggage along the way.

Great band, lead singer dies.
Amazing movie! Didn't make enough money for sequel.
Summertime Saga, stuck in limbo on the Milk Train 9000

I am a portent of doom whenever I find anything I like.

I'm in the same boat. It seems like every game that I love, would have frequent updates until I come in. Then bam, no updates. Maybe I'm a curse?

 

[Black Orchid]

Ah, another milking troll
That's all you F95 trolls do: say 'milking' and fabricate 'complaints'
It's ironic you talk about milking, when you legitimately milk the same word and misinformation again and again, so in actuality, you are the milkers
Now you need to start trolling yourselves as milkers
I know anyone who says 'milking' is a troll, because I ain't ever seen anyone who has said this give genuine criticism

can you explain what misinformation is being brought up? cause most of the things being brought up are factual. no new update has been released for over 18 months, DC claimed the tech update will take about 9 months to materialize, after 3 years since the "conception" of said tech update, he will only have to show something for it at end of may (so he claims). everything i said above was factual, so please elaborate on what misinformation is being spread.

My post wasn't even about Summertime Saga

 

[Balddog]

I think the abandoned tag is not really one of his main concerns but he already had people here complaining all the time and if his supporters have started doing it as well, it's not surprising that he will try to start releasing some content. It just takes a few people going to his discord and bringing up that topic for the supporters to start asking some questions as well.

The real question is how much content will he release. Because I just went on his patreon and he updates quite often on his patreon with posts, but posting things on his patreon isn't the same as getting content. You can post all you want, but if people aren't getting enough content to at least keep them interested, people are going to go somewhere else.

Now at this point even if DC updates this game later this month, I'm not downloading the update. Because I don't want just 30 minutes of gameplay just for 2 minutes of new content. Updating just to somewhat prove that you are "working" on the game to me is a bigger insult. Because you might as well, just focus on a big update that would make people happier, instead of smaller updates that make people angrier.

Prepare for trouble
And make it double

If we both like the same thing, might as well say your farewells.

What exactly will you milk on me?
