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

[BoyHowdy981]

see how fast the updates are coming now.... now you all know for a fact the last 2 years he and his team where doing NOTHING AT ALL.... 2 year vacation til it got the abandoned tag. then it was work time again to start on Summer Time Saga 2.0.....

 

[Tanliarian]

Let's check that progress meter:

View attachment 3887135

FWIW, since the progress metric "reset" back in November, it's gone up 10%. At that rate (optimistic, I know), the tech update will be done around a year from now.

Also people keep referencing 2021 when they were discussing the future tech update in 2020, while we were all stuck at home. It was just not the next update when they first started mentioning it.

They just turned off everything in one update, then adds back the same thing that they turned off one by one, calling it an update and these sheeps are clappping for him?

Not sure about the game but he did sure complete 10 years business plan. lol

Finest example why the world is so messed up today.

 

[Elmiosat]

[...] I hope you never shoot for a job managing any projects or people cause you won't get it lol

Hahaha, you would be surprised.

 

[BoyHowdy981]

how is this game over a gig? oh yeah all the old art is just sitting in files for some reason..... waiting for him to put it back in the game. OH BOY! in 2 months we get new UI and the bad mini games back!!!

 

[Badjourasmix]

Meh it's kind of hard to care about these updates until he actually starts releasing new content.

 

[IdontComment]

Honestly dont care how long it takes to shit out this game, theres enough porn out there that it doesnt really matter, but i dont get why release this in this state. The 'tech' doesnt seem updated, characters have been removed, storylines seem mostly untouched.

If its already taking this long, take some longer and release something actually worth posting

"Added a new event for Debbie in the kitchen at the end of her route."

So far unable to trigger this... am i missing something? her route is complete on my end

 

[tretch95]

Seems like the dev finally saw how ugly the STS family members were, with the sunken eyes and weird eyebrows and all kinds of other unappealing features



So that's at least an improvement... of sorts

 

[Gonzsy]

Can someone make different story line mod for this game
Cause this game the legendary game like the Skyrim too me
So I thought it will be more fun to play with different modes like Skyrim and fallout




And next update of this may come half year later ‍️

 

[Gumshoe08]

Now this is how you do the perfect scam. Rerelease the content thats already released years ago and the 'fans' still eat it and pay for it like its new lmao. The game was like close to ending why do this restarting again. Smh. L Dev.

 

[Vic Cain]

maybe the tech update was necessary, maybe it had more value over releasing new content... i'm not sure

but, most definitely, this approach has put a huge reputational hit on this VN and the developer. this was a risk not worth taking, tbh, on the developer's part.

 

[illogicallity]

Yep, I automatically assume when the changelog for the version has 300+ words, it's fucking excuses or the dev trying to act like a bunch of minor bugfixes took him longer than 30 mins to fix. Pretty much the entire update is just the dev putting back the shit he removed. What can we even do at this point, to this dev? His income is secure, I doubt even 1/5th of his patrons even came from F95zone. Impossible to boycott a dev that already has an established supportive audience that likely doesn't even remember they subbed to the dude 10 years ago. He's a piece of shit and he's going to get away with it. Just like the orange piece of shit trying to run for office.

 

[bewareofangels]

I thought debbie's story is finished? I can't even access other scenes than MC's room

 

[Throwawayxyz]

Now this is how you do the perfect scam. Rerelease the content thats already released years ago and the 'fans' still eat it and pay for it like its new lmao. The game was like close to ending why do this restarting again. Smh. L Dev.

Even better, he even rereleased the teachers stories.... And left off one of the 4 teachers content lmao. It's unbelievable, this dude could shit in these folks hands and they'd just clap.

I'm in the wrong damn line of work actually having to work for a living, I could just learn how to make point and click games, then I won't have to put out anything for years and folks will give me money AND defend me

 

[DickKingLoL]

tech update still not here bruv

does anyone know how to access the cheat menu?

 

[unnammed]

Some people giving "kudos" to the team or trying to explain "how hard it is to rewrite the codebase" coming off as straight up programming students or people who learned to write Hello world application.

Yes, re-writing code is hard. I do consulting and often my job is to upgrade out of date programs, it is time consuming but even project of this magnitute wouldn't take this long. They also have the benefit of having worked with the original code base and knowing the structure of the game.If you excusing this kind of slow development then it speaks plenty of the kind of "programmer" you are.

Also if it's that so time consuming then they could've easily split the game into a new part, Summertime Saga 1.5, where they make everything what htey want and continue on the story. To decide to rewrite the game when they are so close to ending it is so wild to me and then to drag it out the way they do...miss me with this shit...

Anyway, enough bitching. Thankfully I'm not paying for this -- and people excusing this kind of behavior are absolute tools.

 

[viper217]

Classic fail where the Dev didn't understand that perfect is the enemy of Good.
