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

[GaRbS]

Isn't Karryn's Prison a Japanese game?

If it is then it doesn't have the tag on this site.

 

[FGM01]

Annie
Judith
Lopez & Martinez
Rhonda
Coach Bridget
Mrs. Smith
Abby
Jane

There's some other characters like the moms of certain school characters, characters who have a little content but need more, like the lifeguard and the nun, and there's also recently added characters that don't have any content yet.

So there are plenty of characters we haven't hooked up with. It's going to be very long before Summertime Saga is feature complete.

Who are Abby and Jane again? I completely forget lol. But yeah, I think Annie's mom was the one I was referring to.

Overhauling the game has taken them close to 3 years (?) and isn't going to be done anytime soon when it was supposed to only take ~4 months. DC has never been good at managing, in fact he's terrible at it and admits he just wants to draw.

Then why not hire a real project manager? From the impression I get here of his success he can probably afford to.

The struggle is self-evident. We're never gonna get anything other than isolated quests, at least with the characters that already have content.

Booo, I wouldn't let him off the hook that easily. Those existing characters are the ones people have known for years and have an attachment to. It hasn't even been that long for me and tbh remembering the girls from your list, I care much less about them in comparison to the ones we already got to know deeply.

1-Four Elements Trainer

4-Princess Trainer Gold Edition
5-Space Paws
6-Book 5: Untold Legend of Korra
7-Insexual Awakening
8-Friendship with Benefits
9-My Tuition Academia

These wouldn't happen to all be 2d games? I recognize some at least and may check out the others, but I don't the 3d look.

1.Four Elements Trainer: slightly lower quality art and animation, but I'll count it: +1

3.Princess Trainer: The OG, I'll count it: +1
4.Katawa Shoujo: No sandbox, pure VN: -1
5.Space paws: Lower quality art, but I'll count it: +1
6.Book 5: Untold Legend of Korra: Another Avatar game, worse than FET: -1
7.Insexual Awakening: Shota trash, taking off extra: -2
8.Friendship with benefits: Light sandbox elements, art ok, but writing is terrible. Pony game.: +1
9.My Tuition Academia: Another TwistedScarlett. Art is fine, a bit bland, writing is mid to bad.: +1
10.Karryn's Prison: Can confirm, Japanese: -1

So your grand total comes to 3, as I see it. Now the real challenge, find 7 more WITHOUT listing a parody game. I'll allow parody characters(StS has them), but not a full parody game.

This game is so fucking bad and the dev is the biggest scammer around. This is a miracle... He makes 100k a month with absolute shit. People really are stupid... or this could be a brilliant new money laundering scheme.

Isn't it like 50k per month? The way this is going, you guys are gonna say he makes a solid milion a month.

Insexual Awakening has the shittiest sequel to a game on this entire site

 

[FGM01]

Didn't know Insexual Awakening had a sequel

.....Uh that does not look like the first game

 

[Datshitdank]

I'd remove good girl gone bad and karryn's prison from that, but yeah, more or less that.

I think you and a lot of other people on here underestimate just how ambitious the game really is. If were really that simple why aren't there more? Name 10 completed 2d sandbox adult visual novels of the same quality. Hell, name 5. Hell, name any.

1. Insexual Awakening
2. Snow Daze
3. Zombie's Retreat
4. Town of Passion
5. Four Elements Trainer
6. Friendship with Benefits
7. Project X
8. Space Paws
9. Katawa Shoujo
10. Fucking Unteralterbach

Can even mention plenty of other unfinished games with more content and more quality. I'd say STS is actually bottom of the barrel when it comes to quality.

Snow Daze.....
Hot take:
DarkCookie has an infinitely better dev team than Outbreak Games
I'm still annoyed they're remaking the entire game instead of doing Tropical Daze

Don't know what the fuck you're smoking, but pass that shit my way. StS is WAY better than all of those games, with the exception of maybe Katawa Shoujo, which doesn't meet all my required stipulations. I don't get where this new narrative that the game is actually trash has come from. The game is fine, in its highest moments it is one of the best games on the site. It just hasn't updated in 3 years. That is its only major problem.

 

[Bowachin]

true af

 

[GaRbS]

Yes, those are all 2d games.

6.Book 5: Untold Legend of Korra: Another Avatar game, worse than FET: -1
7.Insexual Awakening: Shota trash, taking off extra: -2

No, I refuse your trash opinions.

So your grand total comes to 3, as I see it. Now the real challenge, find 7 more WITHOUT listing a parody game. I'll allow parody characters(StS has them), but not a full parody game.

1-Monster Girl 100
2-The Sword of Succubus
3-Snow Daze
4-Town of Passion
5-Unveiling the Unknown
6-HuniePop
7-Eroico

At this point you're just being petty with your ultra specific requirements for a game to be compared to StS: "completed 2d adult sandbox non-parody non-Japanese game that is not part of a series of games and has art of a similar level of quality". Come on now.

 

[meh1995]

Snow Daze.....
Hot take:
DarkCookie has an infinitely better dev team than Outbreak Games

I agree, but at the very least Snow Daze is a finished game as of now. I do remember when people complained about the game because they didn't have updates for a couple of months. Like, oh boy, lol.

Don't know what the fuck you're smoking, but pass that shit my way. StS is WAY better than all of those games, with the exception of maybe Katawa Shoujo, which doesn't meet all my required stipulations. I don't get where this new narrative that the game is actually trash has come from. The game is fine, in its highest moments it is one of the best games on the site. It just hasn't updated in 3 years. That is its only major problem.

Because the standards for what makes a good game has changed in 3 years with more games being completed and having far more content than STS does. You are crazy if you think 4 Elements Trainer isn't better than STS, let alone games like Town of Passion. You might think this is something subjective, but FET has far more content than STS does, likable characters despite being a parody, two different routes with each book, and good art in general.

Hell, FET started development AFTER STS and it's already finished and a better product than STS currently is. The game is definitively not a bad game, don't get me wrong, the issue here is that there are already far better games on this site that make a fraction of what this scam does, finished or not. That's pretty frustrating.

Grant you, I didn't read the parody line, but I could go on:

1. Knightly Passion
2. Hentasia
3. Paradise Lust
4. S.H.E.L.T.E.R.
5. Confined with Goddesses
6. Sexy Quest
7. Paprika Trainer

Honorable mention to Tamas Awakening. And that not to mention unfinished games with more content than STS does, like Another Chance.

true af

All bro had to do was hire a new artist but got lazy and used koikatsu lmao (KK is the easiest shit to use to pump out images)
Despite DC taking forever i'd rather wait long for another update than have a dev switch to KK lmao

It isn't even an issue with Koikatsu being cheap or not, is that you can feel there isn't even a little bit of effort put into it. Some KK projects can look pretty good if you invest enough time in making them look good.

I think you and a lot of other people on here underestimate just how ambitious the game really is. If were really that simple why aren't there more? Name 10 completed 2d sandbox adult visual novels of the same quality. Hell, name 5. Hell, name any.

Not counting Japanese games. Name 10 western-made games, same requirements. Also, cannot be from the same series. You have 1 so far.

So your grand total comes to 3, as I see it. Now the real challenge, find 7 more WITHOUT listing a parody game. I'll allow parody characters(StS has them), but not a full parody game.

Lol... really? Went from "name any" to super specific requirements with your biased personal ratingsystem you're adjusting on the go real quick... hilarious.

For the "name any" pot: Paradise Lust

 

[CUNTBLAZER420]

Yes, those are all 2d games.
No, I refuse your trash opinions.
1-Monster Girl 100

1. Monster Girl 1,000: TwistedScarlett again, she just pumps that shit out.: +1
2. Sword of Succubus: Not even close to being similar, doesn't meet requirements: -1
3. Snow Days: Pure VN, doesn't meet requirements : -1
4. Town of passion: Lower quality art, RPGMaker, doesn't meet requirements.: -1
5. Unveiling the Unknown: TwistedScarlett is some sort of psychopath, for real: +1
6. HuniePop: Vaguely meets my requirements in some areas, I guess.: +1
7. Eroico: Again, completely different game type.: -1
You got 7 now. 3 if we discount TwistedScarlett games. I'm being petty, but its to make a point. There aren't a whole lot of completed games out there that you can compare to StS. You can't say how long something like it should take to make, because almost everything out there like it, is also in the exact same boat: unfinished.

Lol... really? Went from "name any" to super specific requirements with your biased personal ratingsystem you're adjusting on the go real quick... hilarious.

For the "name any" pot: Paradise Lust

Paradise Lust is hella mid across the board, but I'll give you a +1.
