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

[McSlut]

Hello there.

I havent follow "fully" the devellopement of the game a few years. I have read that they was working on a tech update.
Now i have see that they finally releases their tech update.

But if i have undersrtand correctly, the tech update is "cutted" from the previous content(story, characters etc etc) of the pre-tech ? If it's right, it's mean a lot of cotnent isn't avaible with the tech update, its correct ?

Tk's

yeah it's not the tech update, it's part 1 out of ?? for the tech update with some new great looking background art but some terrible looking new character art. also even though the first part is supposed to cover landlady and jenny it still reuses some old outdated character art for debbie (not enough time, pls understand) and doesn't feature her pregnancy content so prepare for another, idk 5 years maybe (being optimisitc here) of waiting until the debbie route to be truly complete

i got the last version but there are just 2 girls stories

We know. It's the remake, it's normal.

What do you guys think, update at the end of July?

I predict they'll release end of July, but the update won't have everything they wanted to get in this release fully completed. One of the modules will be 80% complete or something, and require an additional update to finalise (which will then push the rest of the updates off-cycle)

I predict he will be sick again.

Hey, here's me "defending DC" because of your wrong information.

DC's first hopeful (not self-imposed) deadline was the initial release of the v0.21.0.0-wip.4468 that they stated in April they would release by the end of May.
View attachment 3855940
And, that version was released on 31 May 2024 - so they hit their first hopeful deadline.

Now, let's see if DC and the team are able to hit their goal of their second deadline at the end of July:
View attachment 3855946

The first deadline they had the motivation to remove the abandoned tag that had just been applied here. : It was announced just before it applied and quickly released on time for monthly renewals.

Still it is fairly likely the release will happen. This month patreon is down for the first time since the proof of life news. So it is in best interests to release something. Still DC does not always act in his best business interests.

 

[BadTime69]

Still better than years lol

Damn this didn't age well

 

[Count Morado]

Well his patron is so far down this month... It was announced just before it applied and quickly released on time for monthly renewals.... This month patreon is down for the first time since the proof of life news.

Again, here's me "defending DC" because of your wrong information.

If you simply mean compared to last month, then you would be right. It is down from this same time last month - about 3 weeks after the release of the last update.
However, you had to go further and you're wrong about it being down "since the proof of life news." It is higher than it was in May at this time (after your "proof of life news" stipulation). It is higher than the entire month of April. It is higher than the entire month of March... it is nearly 10% higher at this time than this same time last year and is at its highest at this point in any month (outside of last month) in about 2 years.

"4K" has different meanings depending on the context. Yes it defines a certain resolution, if we're talking about buying a monitor. But when we're talking about CONTENT PRODUCTION, saying art is made "in 4K" implies that, for the given area on the screen the art will take up, its pixel density will be 1:1 with the pixels on the display. This is how these terms are used when discussing art, because it's the most practical and easy to interpret.

If I take a 4K wallpaper, and then slice it down the middle, it's still an image made for a 4K display, it's just covering half my display now instead. Functionally it is a "4K asset". Arguing otherwise is being needlessly pedantic.

Interesting!

 

[bogodit]

Same thing happened to me. I don't even know what I said and I was told I would be temp banned. I don't even talk much on here.

This is how I feel when I have to figure out (in vain, obv) what I said when I said it.

Well, I guess you might want to check here:

That... doesn't really tell me which comment was deleted. Only the reason is there on the screenshot, not what was deleted specifically.

Yes I did simply mean since last month. It would be a good time for another partial tech release to shift the momentum. Before that the momentum was carrying him up not down.

You are always very selective in the facts that you share that are supportive of the dev.
You were missing the context of why DC quickly announced and met his own release date.

It sucks that in this scene Diane is so caked up but isn't consistent with the rest of the game. I really wish DC would focus more on voluptuous hips and butt cheeks, I need some more ass jiggle in this game.

I mean, she is also missing a leg.

 

[redjoe23]

I mean, she is also missing a leg.

Amputee fetish, coming soon to Summertime Saga.

I never noticed that lmao

Someone finally posted an incest patch for the new v21.0.0 version so I decided to give it a try. Needless to say, there's not a whole helluva lot there yet, You have the initial Mom and Sis interactions and the first day of school. It's really frustrating to not have any content with the teachers and students. He gives you complete stats and $10,000, so you can't go to the gym but you can still buy stuff but you can't really do anything with it. There are a bunch of new locations you can check out but nothing to do there.

Teacher content and minigames are supposed to be updated at the end of July. We'll just have to wait and see if that happens. IMO, it's really not worth playing until DarkCookie restores more content.

Potentential Major Issue ALERT: They changed Summerville High to Summerville College! This seemingly small change can severely affect the continuity of the plot lines. Principal Smith is still showing up as a Principal instead of a Headmaster or President of the school and an entirely different power structure of what she can get away with. It also changes the nature of the quest to find a date for the Senior Prom just to name 2. It would be a lot simpler if DC changed it back to Summerville High, otherwise most of the storyline structure will have to be rewritten, (which means more delays in any updates).

Looks like playtesting and QA for the next part of the tech update is starting this week

Please. My selectivity is broader than most anyone who has posted in this thread and I make sure I am as explicit as possible, include links or data to support, rather than generalities, guesses, hyperbole, and rumours.

As for being down from last month at this time.... Nearly all developers on Pateeon have a spike the month of/immediately after release and the following month or so see numbers slip. This is not novel nor unique. If you would like proof, feel free to DM me and I'll grab a dozen or so examples from other developers. It is the way it nearly always happens and is expected. Your hypothesis holds no water.

The following is rhetorical: why would DC worry of his numbers are slightly off of last month when they are hovering up near his best numbers for the entire time of his development? 30,700-ish still makes him #1 and still brings him in over $60k per month.
