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

[Devilwar]

hey guys, any idea i once started the game and could play a bit. after try to start it today again nothing happens can any1 help ?

 

[Tronn4]

Of course my 1 star review was removed for being "inappropriate"

 

[Ifllslonly]

I just got deleted my review because it was "innapropiate" when i said that is not worth spending time in the game because it has no content at all.

It's not hard to follow the review rules, trust me. For anyone who wants to review this or any other game, just mention things you like or don't like. And don't talk too much about update cycles. My guess is that the moderators are being strict at the moment because it's annoying to delete endless empty spam reviews.

The best possible scenario would be if DC went bankrupt, abandoned the project and it was continued by those who really understand this game, the modders.

It won't happen. DC won years ago. Now the bubble is bursting like every other bubble. And it's funny because it's not even a fact - DC could still be fine after this. I remember someone saying that the DC community is like a cult, so it's possible that his Patreon won't suffer as much. All they want to do is buy wallpapers and discord roles at the end of the day.

"I don't give a shit like get more mad. They're already mad anyway, you know. So I don't really give a shit."
DC.​

I don't understand why people tend to blame DC. Would you blame an employee who didn't do his job or a person who gave him a stable salary for years? Both should be fired. And it's also funny because it was clear a long time ago, but people only woke up when they saw the actual tech "update".

Finish your damn game and then,years down the line,release a HD version for PR.

I really don't know why it's important to finish the game at all. I think it's fine to support endless games as long as the developers show updates that make sense.

Look at this dev for example.

you'd think their writer had some time during the last 2 years to fix this shit but i guess not

also that old debbie art is still blowing my mind. when is it going to get updated? is he updating the route again? if he didn't have time to finish debbie with her pregnancy content and new art during the last 2 years when is he ever going to do that?

nah man instead of finishing debbie instead we got this. much more important.



just wtf bro. you'd have to be a clown to defend this

[jems666]

in the 2 years did the dev forget to add music and sound again?

We are using the word cult extraordinarily liberally these days. DarkCookie won't suffer, not because his community is a cult, but because his Patreon is in the top 15 earning channels on the entirety of Patreon.

 

[Erectosaurus]

Between this, Taffy Tales, KoD, Seeds of Chaos, What a Legend and the myriad of other 2D western games that turned out to be massive disappointments ruined by the devs having no project management skills I think it's safe to say if you want a 2D adult game it's best to stick with Japanese stuff.

I know, I'm not deluded to the point of really thinking that things would be resolved that easily.
but man, I've been saying this for a long time, before the tech-update I was already saying how much of a scam this developer was, and there were people here to defend it, it's funny that not one has appeared so far to defend this update, as much as I saw it was a crazy person who said he still wanted to give money to DC to shit in his mouth.

 

[-R1ck-]

oh I'm just teasing, you are being positive about a -95% of content removal because the art is a bit better

well, I have the previous update saved so I don't mind as much lol. But tbh, this tech update should be a separated release from this old build, and the old build being just removed when the new one reaches the current story

 

[Xupuzulla]

You have to be a expert reviewer to post a 1 star review now
I cant believe this is happening,this is some 1984 bullshit happening here for no good reason at all

 

[naoligopraisso]

Of course my 1 star review was removed for being "inappropriate"

Wtf,I understand why my review was deleted, since I spoke badly about the developer, but what's the excuse for deleting this? This doesn't talk about production time, doesn't talk about the author, there's no swearing, it's just reality, man censors.

 

[BorsDeGanis]

remember guys, this is what DC simps are actually believing:

"soulless" AI art made by some guy for free in a matter of minutes

vs

DC's handcrafted 2 year masterpiece art for 2 million dollars

View attachment 3698139

There is just as much weird shit going on in the AI example as well if you look for it-- the weird uneven bone structure of her fingers, her clit which poorly drawn, her bottom lip which fuses with her tongue.

Define "endless games".
If we are talking in a narrative sense I absolutely disagree as that will just lead to the same shit that has (in parts)atomized superhero comics.
If we are talking in a development sense,it depends but even if you have a developer making demonstrable progress(which isnt the case here,certainly not for a 2 year cycle),fact is people will run out of patience somewhere down the line.

Ah man,Seeds of Chaos,that one actually had promise while Sierra Lee was still writing it.
[edit]scratch that,name-switcheroo

At least Milftoon is not like them

Right,they abandon their games at 0.0.1
Save for Inusen,from what I gathered he just went completely nutters on his own.

 

[Arisato Minato]

Did not know Sierra Lee was writing it. That explains how the game has so many complicated dialogues and world-building, and way more necessary philosophy debate for a porn game =))

Ah no,I actually got two games switched up.
Sierra Lee worked on Kingdom of Deception for some time,not Seeds of Chaos...whoops.
You sound like a fellow The Last Sovereign enjoyer though.

 

[Fayrus]

Haha come on guys, there is no such thing as "he rushed the update", 2 years have passed and this is what they deliver?? Hahaha, they just spended the last two weeks "working" on this just to keep the hype. The other 23 months and a half, they traveled the world in a yacht with whores and cocaine.

 

[Airforce450]

At least Milftoon is not like them

And Demon Deals

is this an april fools day joke in... june?

If we are talking about game types that can potentially become endless. Probably roguelikes, sandboxes, basically any game with well implemented AI (I don't know of any in particular), management games (I'm not a fan, personally), basically any game with a heavy emphasis on gameplay (fun grind).
By endless, I basically mean that you can work on it for a really long time. The main limitation here is whether or not the community is still interested in development.
That is why I mentioned this dev. Because he's ambitious.

I'm really curious what he was doing on his art streams? Wallpapers, please?

Does anyone know what the atmosphere is like on DC Discord at the moment?
