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

[Lux37]

Is this just the same content that was already there but remastered or actually something new ?

There is actually way less content. The only new thing is the Engine.

 

[RedPillBlues]

Wow, this was really not good. I wasn't even looking foward to this update and kind of wipped this game from my brain and it was still trash. Almost 10 years later to essentailly play the second release lol

 

[jackpierce375]

So ppl are complaining of lack of new content when the creator EXPLICITLY said there was an upcoming major overhaul of the game that would be taking up most of their time...do ppl actually read and pay attention to the news he posts?

It took over 2 years just to get 1/5th of the tech update. They couldn't even release the full tech update

The first release using our new source code is finally here!

As we mentioned in our last news post, not all of the Tech Update content is
available yet. We have been working extensively on all aspects of Summertime
Saga and now have most key systems and art in place. Starting with this release
we are switching our focus to bringing familiar content into the new engine and
releasing our progress every 2 months. As well as moving over existing content,
we will also be slipping in some new additions for players to enjoy each update.

------------------------------------------------------
Here's a brief summary of what's changed and is available in this release:

• The game is now widescreen and higher resolution (varied across platforms).
• Many new locations across town have been added to the map (and you'll be able to visit them all).
• All locations have been improved visually and extended (art, buttons, crowds, etc).
• UI, buttons and navigation improved and streamlined.
• Jenny's story has been improved and updated with a bit of new content.
• Debbie's story is relatively the same (some parts use old art and no pregnancy yet) but we added various improvements.
• First day of school has been reworked with new art and content to introduce players to the game.

Welp... the Abandoned tagdid not lasted that long

No.. is a waiting game in ordert to see if they would keep their word and will deliver every 2 months, as officially stated

Money.
Why else would you recreate a game from scratch. Can't be due to it lacking in quality, seeing this was one of the most sucessfull and longrunning games on this platform alone, let alone patreon.

 

[demonslender]

I love how this thread is full of whining and moaning as if any of y'all are paying for the game

whining and moaning? nah man we're laughing at this shit and at the simps who personally feed dc for years just to get his crumbs.

 

[dirkdiggler32]

How many years again?

 

[jimmyjambles]

Oh my god, after all this time, they release just a WIP (work in progress).

It took over 2 years just to get 1/5th of the tech update. They couldn't even release the full tech update

Right? After all this time, they release a fraction of what people have been waiting for.

I have no personal stake -- I'm not a patron, and I have plenty of other leisure activities on my plate. I'm just amazed that they have so little to show after all this time. I was expecting the whole thing to drop, when it finally arrived. Not this. This will not go over well.

 

[VivaLaKirito]

is it atleast remastered or old content just on the new engine itself?

 

[fapmeister]

Mate, I have a live outside of waiting for the next update for some lewd game. I don't have much of a horse in this race.
Maybe the tech upgrade took to long and wasn't worth it. But honestly maybe it was necessary because the code before was a total mess? I'm not gonna deep-dive to evaluate that.
I am simply pointing out that complaining about lack of content for a tech update is retarded.
If you wonna complain that it took to long go ahead, seems appropriate but also doing anything is hard, doing anything well is downright impossible.

If this was what I accomplished after two years of being paid like this I wouldn't have a job, nor would anyone else here. Scratch that, make it a few months. He's been coasting along because he's had ZERO incentive to do anything, he still gets paid for doing nothing. That's my issue. The exploitation and the morons defending it.

Were it a hobby project they were doing out of the good of their hears? I'd understand. Hell I'd be greatful of anything. Were it a second job and/or they were pausing funding because they weren't doing anything? I'd understand. But no.

Insane. Absolutely insane.

I believe you're missing the whole TWO YEARS posted everywhere today.

And if that's not enough, it's actually been 3 years since the last story update.

 

[DiviDreamer]

is it just me or is there no music? or sounds tbh

No music, i actually loved old title song, now we have a silence

 

[Jamsalad]

Wait so is there actually new content? or just the new engine

did you not read his bullshit? basically 0 new content and he's calling it a new engine. but it's not, it's stillin ren'py. bro doesn't even know what a game engine is.

how are assholes still giving him money?

 

[Longhairlover010]

Does this new update include jenny pregnancy? Anyone know?

 

[TheWildStarGuy]

no way...

 

[Stareagle lord]

Okay so the game update is basically in 2 years.

New source code=New Engine basically.

• The game is now widescreen and higher resolution (varied across platforms).
• Many new locations across town have been added to the map (and you'll be able to visit them all).
• All locations have been improved visually and extended (art, buttons, crowds, etc).
• UI, buttons and navigation improved and streamlined.
• Jenny's story has been improved and updated with a bit of new content.
• Debbie's story is relatively the same (some parts use old art and no pregnancy yet) but we added various improvements.
• First day of school has been reworked with new art and content to introduce players to the game.

It took about 2 years, but before we get angry and all about the update time etc.

*Starting with this release we are switching our focus to bringing familiar content into the new engine and releasing our progress every 2 months'

This means 'probably' that somewhere on the 8th month, 10th month and 12th month we will be getting updates this year.

since we got litte to no updates in 2 years, it went to from almost nothing
to about 6 updates a year. And this year we will be getting 3-4.
next we get 2-3 more?

Since the tech-update isn completed
what will possibly change during this time?

1 most likely fixing current bugs along the way both by adding content and adressing issues.

2 possibly more 'functions' to the game? Since the engine has been update it possibly is stronger?
So he might have more mini-games etc or/and even improving the old mini-games?

3 perhaps a no-need for cheating=causing bugs to story etc?...
like perhaps he'll make a 'story' version type and a sandbox version like some games has?
like story version without grind, almost like as if you had 'cheated'

5 *we will also be slipping in some new additions for players to enjoy each update.'

That means he might be adding new girls along the way of the upcoming tech-updates, and not just 'update'
the old arts.

So instead of raging and all, how about we wait untill christmas to make some 'judgement' of how
things are going/progressing etc?

We won't defend him, but nor will we prosecute him...
Let us just wait up to max 6 months, there are other games we can play in the mean-time.

If he has fucked up by christmas time enough/a lot. Then id say feel free to let people
'browse' your feelings on the matter...


I am not defending him at all, i simply am saying okay update is out he has announced updates
every 2 month-(give or take exact day...) Let us give him the benefit of doubt before a witch-hunt
start?... Oh and yes i am hoping he is not fcking up would be nice to have good regular content..

 

[dirkdiggler32]

Changed some buttons, put AI into adding more shade on artwork. 60k a year. Gott'em!

 

[Lux37]

Funny to read guys who believe there is actually new content .
PETITION TO ADD THE ABANDOMENT TAG AGAIN.

 

[Stareagle lord]

There's way less content, only Debbie and Jenny

Starting with this release we are switching our focus to bringing familiar content into the new engine and releasing our progress every 2 months. (As well as moving over existing content,)

You are right and wrong, its more like this is a demo to be honest.

 

[BlindLeperLucy]

Holy shit, that's worse than I expected hahahaha

Aaand he's asking for another year, but everyone knows he's not delivering updates every 2 months. Fucking shitshow.
