Ren'Py Summertime Saga [v21.0.0-wip.5791] [Kompas Productions]

[Stareagle lord]

So am I understanding this right. This "Rebuild" does not have all of the original content in it? They are rolling back the game?

Not rolling back no, more like they made a new engine and all and they inserted some content that they upgraded
the art a little bit. And added a tiny bit of new content probably like 1 scene.. of jenny.

If they keep their word... in 2 months we will probably see more UI stuff and bug fixes then it will probably be more
'fun content' in focus while adding bits of the tech-update. The tech-update isn finished yet,
if you remember the old game it had a lot of characters... It will probably take about whole year to
insert all old content if he also keeps making new content along the way.

2 years.
2 million American dollars.
Old Debbie art and cheat mode on because theres literally nothing to do than skip days to unlock the sex scenes.
SCAMTIME SAGA!

let us wait 2-3 months to see what 'updates' will be
Starting with this release we are switching our focus to bringing familiar content into the new engine and releasing our progress every 2 months.*

Before we go on a witch-hunt?...

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.

Dark Cookie has always had a pathetic update schedule, it's no surprise this happened. However I have no doubt the OG content will be released in future tech updates but he will drag his feet like he always does and make excuses for why there isn't more content and as a result it may be another 2 years before we see the same content we had.

However I will say Dark Cookie is less of a moron than the developers of Something Unlimited or Ecchi Sensei.

what a fucking joke that debbie uses old art still after 2 years. i was okay with there being only 2 routes out now but that she hasnt been updated is soooo bad

 

[Stareagle lord]

Their plan of releasing 1/5 of the content every 2-3 months means its going to take over a year still to get the full tech update

That is fine, i mean (if they do it right*
Also if they keep adding small content along the way like 1-2 scene's here and there or a new girl just added...
I mean we have a mermaid in the game... why not something like elven girls from lotr inspired?...
or hp veela?...

we just need to wait 2-5 months to be able to evaluate exactly if ss corp is being smart
or a smart-ass... X)

Hahaha, seriously. Laughing my ass off about people who still believed in this game ever getting anywhere.

Updates have been microscopically small for the past years, now he actually hit the "reset" button.

The Summertime saga discord must be on fire right now

 

[jackpierce375]

Why are people expecting an update dedicated to reworking the source code to have a bunch of content. Like, I get being unhappy about the lack of content itself, but how was anyone expecting anything else? Did people think it was going to be an update about a new hacker character when they heard "tech update"?

People weren't expecting new content with the release of the tech update, but the fact that almost the entirety of the content is gone after over 2 years of development is crazy.

 

[kevinscottmiller]

anyone know if there is a new incest patch

Until they add more Eve, June and Judith stuff I don't really care about the """updates"""

Is that you,Darkcookie?

 

[WinniDex]

I haven't worked with RenPy by myself, but Summertime Saga seems not to have the size to justify two years of development for a half finished tech update. I mean, what exactly did they do these two years? Rewrite RenPy entirely to transform the engine into something else?

Anyway, prepare for the next abandoned tag guys

This game is quite old. Development in hell. I'm really curious to see if anyone wants to update the mods after all this time.

If they're reallying using new tech, that should mean that currently the code is nice and clean, therefore easy to work with. If someone wanted to, it shouldn't be too hard to mod it right now.

 

[Arabi1]

So I need to wait another 8 years to get the same content as 0.20.16? I don't know.. I'm thinking of using cheat on old version because that save won't be useful on later updates.

 

[PierrotSol]

For those wondering, this is how the gallery looked like in 2022. Tech update was already 1 year in development and we got just a few scenes, nothing major like 2021 and years before



Now it's 2024 and this is what we get (Tech update is still in development)

 

[RAP3R]

Honestly, I am good with this. Contempt. I know the game will get back to where it once was, and I even think people are just upset it took so long for the game to be updated yet again. This update, if anything, feels just like it was done under pressure to release something after being given the Abandoned Tag. Pressure made worst by the people. I don't blame either side, really. I just wish more people would show some acceptance of what we did get here. Besides, when it comes to doing the other routes, I doubt Dark Cookie is going to rework them all from 0. Sure, art is a big maybe in that regard, but writing and other bits than can be re-used from the old version? That is another story. So, I have full faith that adding the other routes won't take as long as people fear it will.

it's been in the works for around 3 years and now thats it's "come out" theres nothing in it still, only 2 routes.

hear me oh modders from the depths below! I summon thee!

 

[RAP3R]

Holy shit, people just love to throw hate for no reason at all... I'm sure most of those who complain here never paid a single penny for this game or any other. Just enjoy the update if you want it or just ignore it, it's an update of a beloved game, instead of enjoy it, people just love to throw bilis... It's not disapointig, it's just sad...

No wonder being a developer can become such a depressive work... Free players are never gonna be happy, no matter what the dev does...

I know right! At least we got something now. I am a free player, and I am not hating on this just because it took so long. Heck, I do not dare hate at all, because I have no right to hate, since I didn't pay anything. I will just download and enjoy the game, basking in nostalgia.
