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

[muhu1]

True, I forgot about that game. But even that was like 5 years ago and I don't know any other game where they made a new thread for the remake.
I kind of get why mods wouldn't want to do that, since every dev seems to do remakes now. It would just be a pain in the ass.

Urban Demons ...

So what the hell has this update been about? Did he port the game to a new engine or something? Or is it just an inane rewrite of the game that's still in Renpy?

it's still in Renpy (using the latest version it seems, 8.2.1 released in March 2024), but the changelog included doesn't help much to know what's really changed in the code itself.

# 21.0.0

## Tech Update

- Overview
  - Art assets have been re-exported at a much higher widescreen resolution.
  - The entire codebase has been rebuilt from scratch to improve performance and better support planned features.
  - The posing has been updated to take advantage of new codebase, and the higher resolution assets.

 

[muhu1]

Does anyone have comparisons between the new and old versions of the art? I'm curious if even that element was a little bit worth it.

Decided to make a comparison.

If nothing else, they did repose the scene and use Debbie's updated sprite here.

"This guy removed almost all content after two years of stringing along people" isnt a useful review? Are you fucking with me?

If that is the only thing you wrote it doesn't fulfill the criteria/rules, so that could be the reason it was removed.

I used to love this game. It was one of the games that got me onto F95. I played this rather religiously if I'm honest. But now? Now there's nothing here anymore. I never supported this game, at times I felt bad, now I'm happy. I waited for this tech upgrade, even as I read the comments in this thread, there was something in me that hoped this tech upgrade would be amazing, that the wait would still somehow be worth it. It isn't. It's actually terrible. I at least thought the tech-upgrade, taking so long would at least encompass everything developed so far, and then new content would start coming. But there's barely any content, nothing new, and nothing to see. In fact, I don't personally see any major improvements either.

Brother I made several games with Renpy and I've experiment with it and it's code for a long time it's not a Unity engine where you have complicated program languages and other stuff it's a VN engine and it's the easiest tool out there for VN's I'm speaking on this matter because I know how this thing works and it doesn't take this long

don't you love it when the computer illiterates call you computer illiterate?

And, deleted my review, good

Almost none of the 1 star reviews that I have seen posted, even though they are completely fair, are not objective.
Most of them have been about the creator/dev, the update time and not the game.

Did your review follow the rules?
Review Rules

1. Try to be objective, describe your reasoning and highlight what key aspects of the content were good or bad.

4. There is a 200 character requirement, do not attempt to bypass this by using spam or irrelevant comments. Do not mention or comment on the 200 character limit, this is not the place to complain about forum rules.

Calling DC a milker is not a review of the game lol. I get why people are disappointed but the only thing you will accomplish with all the 1 star reviews spam is that the mods will end up just disabling reviews for a while.

 

[clohne]

I wish I could be this morally bankrupt myself lmao.

It's also insane how some people are actually still trying to take DC's side everywhere. I mean it *literally* gets you nothing unless you're part of damage control and getting paid by him.

And those that have soul don't have the resources to start XD

Well, unless we write lies in the review section, it becomes impossible to describe the real aspects that make this game unplayable.

DC is not the first con man.. oops i mean con dev.. ( damn) i mean dev to pull stuff like this on patrons, there have been many in the past and some doing so presently.
Remake is not always a bad thing, some have done it in good time and made their project better. Many have done it because they want to put it on steam and have to change content ( neutering the adult content or censoring ).

There are good devs and bad devs, If it wasn't clear and obvious before in regards to Dark Connie and what he is. It certainly should be now, the gullible patrons well who cares most of them can't be fixed. They are stuck in a " Hey it's DC, he would never do anything wrong" mind set.

For most on this site now, well we have the extent of the con.. It ain't gonna get better.

This was the game that brough me here (on f95)

Saddly i knew after looking how much his patreon was getting... this will never be finished.

No it doesn't far from it.
There are several 1-2 star reviews that has not been removed.
Stop playing the victim card.

Have you checked all these 5 star reviews with the same scrutiny?
Oh, you haven't?
So please see yourself out.
Thank you.

I think the biggest problem here (besides of course scamm and money laundering) is the fact that this isn't even called a remake or reboot by DC, he called it tech-UPDATE and even put it as version 0.21.0 , as if something new had been introduced to the game, but in reality the game is being remade.

 

[Vodayo]

This is death.

The game is 8 years old. After 8 years, the update presents content that everyone has seen many times.

Who needs it?

That has nothing to do with what I wrote.
I do not defend the 5 star reviews, many of them are completely biased.
I responded to the fact his and many other 1-2 star reviews have been removed and tried to give a reason why.
I even wrote that many of them was completely fair.

So fuck off, don't make it appear as if I said anything I didn't.
