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

[Mr_Ainz]

I understand the gooners but I'm actually on the team that had some gripes with progression early on and this filler scenes are good enough to resolve the issues I had. This game has taken too long to reach the present state tho, that's the truth.

I knew early on that DC had created a money printing machine with this game so it was easy to see where this was going. I'll come back to check the progress in 5 years.

 

[Sasori21]

By my calculations DC has lost about 2,772 Patreons between yesterday and today (Yesterday it was 31,434 and today it's 28,662) If I'm honest, thought it'd be way more than that. This release cannot be called an update or a rework if they went all Thanos and nuked almost all content but 2 routes. Also, some of the new art looks so weird and half assed. To the screen capture showing Jenny's abnormal proportions I would add Mia's face that looks weird and ghastly to me.

ITT: People who do not know how Patreon works.

The "Patreon Dip" happens to most creators each month at the beginning and then over the course of the remaining days it increases, again.

What you should compare is not previous day to current day, but same day month-over-month to see if there is a trend occurring.

DC may or may not be losing paid subscribers due to this update... or he may or may not be gaining. We won't know without more data through this month and next. Now, if he finishes June at less than about 30,000 paid subscribers - then there is a possible trend that we could extrapolate and forecast from (based upon pre-update numbers to post-).

I don't understand, is this tech update only contains small amount of content? (1st day, debby story, jenny story)
I don't played this game more than a year so if all content is updated may I can try

That's why there is a changelog in the

You must be registered to see the links

and copy/pasted in OP - so you can read and know.

But, yes, the update that was released yesterday (v0.21.0) is only part of the full game that you can play in the most recent old version (v0.20.16). DC stated because the tech update is taking much longer than they expected, they are rolling it out in chunks.

 

[bluedrakken]

all that previous quality work to this shit? i never understood why dev would rework/format a game when its not complete unless its a milking reason. just abandon the game and make a new project.

 

[Dragon1982]

Well if you guys want my opinion on what devs are worth supporting, I know of 2 that I decided to officially support after almost 2 years of following their work. RyenSaotome (otherwise known as NaughtyNetherpunch) and Killer7. Not only do I see updates commonly compared to most other games, but the devs take an active role in commenting on the thread their games are posted while answering questions for others, whether they follow the devs or not.

 

[Dragon1982]

Plus they are not as biased about criticism from those who play their games, good or bad.

 

[LuBu446]

How fix this?

 

[Nezron]

All this time waiting, and we get this.....
sad, I just wanted new content with characters. This "update" removes most of the content the old version had, and I don't think the new stuff looks any better than the old stuff. I am not going to waste my time with this until the new version has at the very least caught up to the old version.

How fix this?

The patch you installed doesn't work with v0.21.0 because the game's code is rewritten with new variables, etc. It only works for the v0.20.0 through v0.20.16.

You will need to use your imagination if that this the content you want, at least until some fan or modder decides they want to write a new patch.

 

[Neravisk]

How do you release the standard game? I don't want to play the cheat

Normal mode is not possible since the updated mini-games coding haven't been released yet. Since the mini-games aren't released - you wouldn't be able to advance on Jenny's story because you couldn't upgrade stats. With cheat mode, you don't have to worry about stats.

 

[Kamil190]

they didnt want to end that game, they get on patreon so many dollars per month, they dont want finish it, i know its expensive but other ppl make game much faster for 10 x less money, 2 month per content xdddd he is solo guy who work there ? If yes he is rich as fuck

 

[Lavance]

Long time lurker to WEGs, though never commented here before.
I haven't paid too much attention to WEGs in recent years and this is astonishing to see now.
I remember playing this game around 2019/2020, a bug locked me out of 3 or so characters' content but I was able to play most of what was available back then. I remembered that this game exists recently and looked it up to see what content got added and if it was finished(lol) just a few days ago and was absolutely shocked to see this whole drama. This guy gets insane amount of money from Patreon relative to "quality" of what he produces, and he needs two whole years for a "tech" update that removes existing content and adds the most minor content imaginable??? Bear in mind that he easily has enough stream of income to just hire people to work on it and do next to nothing himself.
This is the Star Citizen of WEGs, complete and utter scam. Not even doing the barest of minimums imaginable from someone of his position. As hardworking as YandereDev, as visionary as Chris Chan, as skilled as DSP, he is a clown that got lucky with making the first end of high school fuckfest fantasy game and failed upwards with patreon paypig army.
Just lol. Why is this industry such a joke?

SPEAK YO SHIT, SPEAK YO SHIT FR. Im kinda lurker here aswell, and seeing this shit is fucking insane. It was obvious from the gecko this man was scamming his supporters, but still... people defended him.

I never thought I would live enough to see the star citizens of porn games. But here I am... this shit is fucking sad.

BUT YOU MUST because - AS THE CHANGELOG TELLS - you only have day 1, Jenny's path and Debbie's path.

YOU HAVE NO MINIGAMES. NO MINIGAMES = you can't RAISE your stats, you can't EARN money.

ANYWAY, the game is an empty shell right now - you have to skip time over and over in order to move forward and get Jenny's and Debbie's scenes.

ONCE AGAIN, USE THAT DAMN BRAIN OF YOURS BEFORE ASKING DUMB QUESTIONS

 

[Furyan]

Did you guys feel any difference in animation, graphics and scenes?
I think I'm going crazy here, but I re-played the old one, and I can't see the difference...

 

[fuzzybrackets]

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.
2. Do not mention games from other developers in your review, this is to prevent cross promotion.
3. The review should only be about the game, not the developer (pricing, update times, etc).
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.
5. Your review shouldn't be solely focused on your feelings about a specific genre or detail of the game.
6. Do not review your own game or games you've worked on.
7. Must be in English, as stated in General Rules 1 - 5. Exception is translation threads.

Its funny to me when people cite rules on a pirate forum for smut games.

The devs behavior is DIRECTLY relevent to the game. Its not as if people are pissed because hes said or done questionable stuff in his personal life. People are mad about how hes messing up the game, soaking up patreon dollars in the millions and haven't delivered anything worth a damn.

Its like thinking its "review bombing" if you rate a microtransacted riddled skinner box thats carved up and sold back to the playerbase by EA, Ubisoft or Activision a low score. How a developer develops a game Is part of the games quality.

Yall are some goofies

 

[-samael-]

I stopped supporting long ago, when I noticed the slacking and milking... DC already have a passive income too high to care about respecting his small supporters... This is it. 0 respect...

Well if you guys want my opinion on what devs are worth supporting, I know of 2 that I decided to officially support after almost 2 years of following their work. RyenSaotome (otherwise known as NaughtyNetherpunch) and Killer7. Not only do I see updates commonly compared to most other games, but the devs take an active role in commenting on the thread their games are posted while answering questions for others, whether they follow the devs or not.

Well... Since people are suggesting, Both in my signature are also good. GoldenCrow is creating a full sandbox game and is very responsive with his community... Worth to try.

 

[Pyrrs]

in the inmortal words of Maui Johnson... FINALLY...

 

[Ottoeight]

so, basically another 2 years of waiting

MOREOVER,

the cookie jar shows JENNY'S CONTENT ONLY. Debbie's scene gallery is NOT implemented in the cookie jar yet.

We only have Jenny's and Debbie's side stories.

 

[dirgetka]

I don't think the new art is very good. Also, the new bits of writing for Jenny reek of DC trying to have his cake and eat it; he's long been vocal about his view that she should never fully warm up MC despite the fan demand, which I respected as his right as the creator of the game. And yet, as of 21.0 she's been re-written to show even more tendency towards it during her arc, only to once again slam the door on the idea at the end of her plotline (as she did in previous versions, but it's sillier here because she gets closer than ever before to hinting she wants it now).
