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

[Geowraith]

Just an FYI, the Android version crashed twice during the first days' sequence at "college". I restarted after the first crash and get another scene or two into the story and it crashed again. Methinks to wait until a future update to see if the Android bugs get worked out... plus it appears that the available content is limited anyway.

It has some inconsistencies in the dialogue, storyline, and supporting text which seem to indicate a shift-in-progress to "age up" the characters... perhaps ahead of pending legislation in various jurisdictions and recently-enacted legislation. Might also be due to shifting policies on various hosting websites, I suppose. Not a terrible thing, but it will probably need some editing passes if implemented throughout the storyline.

Bookmarking for a later update...

Holy fuck. Idk if I'd rather have an update or go without, because this so incredibly disappointing. wtf.

 

[Hampamatta]

Why upload this? and just because people haven't paid doesn't mean they cant be upset for getting their hopes up at getting some new content for this beloved game, only to be greeted with less content than was available yesterday.

 

[LordMacc]

The update was somewhat frustrating, I liked the resolution update a lot, they added many new ones but to be honest this update was already overdue for a long time, now they are going to update every 2 months I hope it stays that way and it doesn't disappear again for 2 years Again, I really think it needs another artist. It's too slow with the settings and characters. I've been following this game since 2017 and I hope it doesn't abandon it because at that time it had a lot of potential. I'm not saying today it doesn't have it, but it's just too slow.

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.

its been around for 8 years now and was pretty much a complete game now its got little to no functionality and tons of bloat.

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)

give them more time to milk the game

 

[Rooku]

so you're telling me. that after 2 years, an update that was originally gonna take around 6 months, now is here and its basicly a version of the game with less content?!

2 YEARS JUST TO CHANGE THE FUCKING ASPECT RATIO?!

Im never seeing judiths full arc. I just wanted nerd tiddies

 

[Sasori21]

Was willing to give this thing the benefit of the doubt, and then I saw Mia's updated art...

 

[PaYrO212]

Okay, I understand that the developers have things to do apart of creating a porn game. But seriously dude?, almost 2 years of no updates, thousands of dollars per month on patreon and they only give that? That's disappointing

 

[Antonisimo]

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.

I will complain as a POTENTIAL customer.Its been 2 years and all he has done is Rework in the name of "outdated code or graphics" my theory is that he is slowing down so that he gets traction on angry fans, and then he will make an Yandere-esq excuse and they will forgive him. The circle will continue until we get to the icstor territory where he angerly finish the game and takes a break to prepare a sequel.REMEMBER MY WORDS!

 

[WigglyWorld84]

must... look... train... wreck

 

[Rooku]

 

[Ifllslonly]

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.

Personally, I accept what we have here. But do you personally agree with this? Do you like this art?

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

Damn, I bet DC is so sad right now, maybe even depressed. He tried so hard, I think we should all at least support him emotionally. After all, he showed so much work. (no)

 

[Headingley]

Fuck this game.

 

[Prevat]

I don't think any of this is malicious. I think they are just incompetent.DarkCookie doesn't see the issue with not writing any new content or drawing new scenes. He is sitting here twiddling his thumbs for 2 years waiting for a someone to code a game in RenPy.

 

[BlackAF1]

Of course the first update in years is a dripfeed of the game's reboot. Wasn't the entire point of going 'all-in' on the tech update to avoid staggered releases and make updates faster? GTA 6 is gonna drop before we even see an inkling of the Judith update

 

[trumpthatbitch]

It's been almost ten years and he still doesn't know how to create a game where you can save your progress from version to version. I have zero desire to replay this game for the upteenth time.

The dev can eat a dik

 

[WinniDex]

He really found a new way to milk subscribers. Just stop making content and start over development again. And after a few years, make another new tech update and the cycle repeats.

 

[mattius77]

My brain will go all aneurismy with laughter if at the end of all this he publishes an update that doesn't work.

Quoting yourself on forums is always dodgy, but I'm gonna tentatively score this as a 'win' from February.

lol
