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

[iheartsizedds]

Bro figured out how to reuse his old content hes an evil genius tbh

 

[TwoHeavens]

Quite a smart move by the dev I must say. Remove all the content in the game, so you can re-add them later as "updates". All the while farming that sweet monthly cash. Surprised this tactic doesn't get used more often.

Its nothing new. Ive seen other devs pull the same scam where they "remake" the game a bunch of times but its basically just the same thing.

Is disgusting this is a thing but what can you do?
I never support anyone so i dont really care

is there a new walkthrough mod for this version?

In the meanwhile, DC's Patreon paying members raised back to 30.100 after they dropped down under 30.000 at the beginning of this month.

So, stop hoping in angry people giving up on him and boycotting.

THERE IS NO HOPE: just give up and deal with the fact that the cow won't stop being milked and squeezed till its very last drop.

There is no meaning in writing here anymore.

To the surprise of absolutely no one

I waited this much, i can wait until that update list is done.
I can make myself busy with something else, worst case scenario i end up forgetting about the game

You would probably do a favor to yourself by forgetting about this game's existence. It's actually a best-case scenario

Most of these people don't understand how a business works or what a business model is

This update makes it look like he has been screwing about for two years then patched up something real quick in a week.

Does he actually have a team? It's just him, isn't it? Despite what the website says.

He has a coder who likes to move slower then a fucking snail stuck on glue. DC surprisingly is ahead in terms of art.

What business? This shit is equivalent to an onlyfans, horny idiots will pay for anything. There is nothing to understand.

There is nothing to walkthrough in this version.

Ah the classic milk more money out of the same game infinitely by "restarting". This was originally one of my favorites.

After your comments, the developers should see the light

What is the difference between the normal download and the Before the Tech Update (v0.20.16) download, I saw that in normal there is no images folder and other folders do not appear either?

 

[Brokenrubbers]

Looking forward to the future updates of this game.

 

[Fayrus]

how is the lower iQ here, the genius trying to explain to the lower iQ guy what he cannot understand, or the lower iQ guy asking the question over a situation he cannot understand?

==check mate

You logic has no flaws, I cannot argue with that. I tip my hat to you, good Sir.

The "normal" download is the new Uber 2 year worth of work mega Tech Update preview. (stripped of 90% of its content)
The other one, is the 'old' version of the game. (but with all it's content)

Normal download:
<5% of the content
widescreen
10x+ faster loading screens
no audio

Before tech update
100% of the content
4:3 aspect ratio
very slow loading screen
has audio

Compromise: We leave off the Abandoned tag, but add the NTR tag (the Patrons are being cucked)

 

[Aenys_Faelin]

So Stardew Valley, but shit.

At least Stardew Valley has an actual game to its slow development LMAO

There was plenty of time to back down and if he really didn't want to continue on his spaghetti code there was always the opportunity to do a Summertime Saga 1.5. To take such an old well-loved project that is nearing the finish line and deciding to "rewrite the whole codebase" reeks not of incompetence/ignorance but more scummy/greedy action.

Full disclosure: I am not a coder. I do not pretend to know coding even at an enthusiast level of understanding.

But I do know game development, specifically the business side of AAA publishing. And I really wish people would stop saying SS is 'mismanaged' or similar turns of phrase, because that implies something didn't go as planned. Where, as an outside observer with the background I have, it seems the project has actually been 'managed' more or less as the developer intended. He's not developing a game, he's sustaining an ecosystem. And it would actually be a net bad for that system if the tech update was complete and worked right out of the box.
