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

[chocolaid]

hello, sorry if this was answered already but this has like 50 pages a day, impossible to keep up with

do the cookies on website next to Rhonda and Annie mean they are complete? and with tech release they will be there?

 

[Automata]

Yeah it feels very ironic. But it depends on how you look at it, releasing the tech-update in chunks so that people get to see the progress first hand makes sense to me, it's either that or wait for the complete overhaul in one update. I reckon the wait time will virtually be the same either way.

I'm wondering how many updates it'll take tho.

Years worth of updates since he said two months per char update. I'll quote myself from earlier.

Good grief, every two months for one character? If we assume every character the MC can currently sleep with is released separately that's over 5 years just to reach where we are now plus the time we've already waited.

However, let's be generous and group some content together. Still going to keep the main family as separate releases.

1. Jenny
2. Debbie
3. Diane
4. Roxy, Missy, Becca
5. Eve, Odette, Grace
6. Mia, Helen, Sister Angelica
7. The teachers
8. Nadya, Katya, Svetlana
9. Judith, Lopez, Martinez
10. June, Tammy, Erik
11. Maria, Tina
12. Consuela, Zoey, Roz, Liu, Melonia, Iwanka
13. Aqua, Daisy

That's still over two years to get back to where we are now (Kudos to those who noticed I didn't even list all the side content).

First time I played this game I was still a virgin. Maybe someday my grandchildren will be able to play the finished game.

Nope, the full cookie means that no work has been done on them yet. Which shouldn't surprise you anymore.

This game was literally my first porn game ever. I'm still grateful that it introduced me to all this other great stuff, but I gave up and moved on ages ago. The tag brought me back and holy shit, it's still stuck on the same update I last played lol. It seems hard to believe.

Why should this game get special treatment from any other game on here?
It'll get removed when it's updated.

If it was up to me I'd not remove the abbandoned tag until DC has proven to be consistent and timely with his updates. Just look at Dr. Bones and his games, the man has been milking people by only providing a single update to his games every year for the last couple of years now.

But I am not an admin and rules are rules.

 

[ozzish]

lmao so it finally got slapped with the Abandoned tag

Love it XD

Jenny and Debbie are already confirmed to be released together for the first update, and DC never said every update would only contain one character route. I'm not saying you don't have a point, just some corrections.

Like you said, even being generous and lumping together multiple characters per update would still take a long time at that pace. I'm hoping that because they're already 83% done with the tech-update, it'll make the updates only a matter of getting character routes playable since they're overhauled anyways, so that we get much more characters per update later on so that it takes less than two years.

Only time will tell.

Theres just no way they can keep up the two months release pace forever,i would be surprised if by the end of the year we are not waiting months and months for a new release.

Dark Cookie is an amazing artist.

I really like watching his Picarto streams, but i also think he's a very stubborn dude.

If he really has a team (which i highy doubt at this point) that helps him developing this VN, then he should have changed them by now, the team is very slow doing everything except the art.

I also think he should have hired someone to help him animate the scenes. I mean...there is a someone who is doing different animations using this game assets for some time.

 

[hisnik2]

Anyone know if newer scenes will be with sound?

Yeah, well, that's gonna be on the patrons. Nothing any of us can do anything about.

You might be right, I don't have much trust in their competence at this point.

He's stubborn and lazy, but he does have a team, they're pretty active in his Discord and streams. Whether they're a good fit for this project is another story.

Nah, I think the most we'll get is ambient background noises and some music, which is fine by me.

Of course but can talk about it,right?
Is a public forum after all

How much you gain in your work, in each month? If you even work, that is.
Oh wait... I dont care.

Jealous? No

Whom am I to stand between fools and their wish to burn their money

Well you care enough to response. Go cope and seeth in corner. Way it looks games update will not come next 3-4 years.

What happens to the abandoned tag when an update comes that removes most of the content?
(except for a few more pixels on the left and right)
Will it be removed?
Will the (old) download with more content remain, or will the new SS get its own thread?

In my understanding of fairness, the tag should only be removed when it becomes obvious that it has really been worked on, i.e. with the 2nd tech update at the earliest.

Otherwise, it would mean that it is enough to remove content to remove the abandoned tag - that would be ridiculous.

Forget it,the second the new update is here the tag is gone.
This is a bullshit release to reset everything.

Well, adult only, but public enough

At this point, I'll just wait for that Debbie and Jenny release to see if the whole 16:9 for Android was really worth it.
