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

[cool.mint]

Ex Hero's Harem Guild player detected. Dark Cookie shows his work in streams, you can visit his page and watch for yourself instead of spreading shit. But yeah I admit that is a little bit (too much) slow updating the game.

With die hard defenders like you it will take him at least another 10 more years to complete the game.

I've seen the stream before btw, but all it is, is him drawing stuff. You can't convince me drawing takes years. (I swear I could EASILY replicate one of his animations within a week, it would probably take a couple of days at most). That's the easy shit. As for the programming. With the amount of money put into this game he could have hired programmers. Which I assume he did. But then again, why is it taking years. It's not an AAA game. It's a freakin renpy game.

Maybe if his work was shown in an actual product (game), rather than through only advertisement ("Look, I'm doing stuff!" streams), people would've been more respectful of him. All of these "A ton of art is already finished, it's all about coding now!" excuses after a few years make it seem as if the coding part of his team is just some amateur coder working on it in his spare time on weekends. Can't really blame people for making fun of it.

 

[Fledder]

What change are you talking about?

oh i mean why he wanted the tech update

 

[Count Morado]

To be fair, this is probably spot on. It's also the case for like, 95% of these porn games.

not surprising at all.

 

[PietruccioTheHilander]

I'm curious to see what update comes out

 

[Symphatic]

Stop with the off topic discussion. I really don't want to keep mass deleting the convo.

How much longer until they are forced to update?



The Bare minimum.
The simple bare minimum,
required to keep the project active here.

It will be the end of the month. The new development pattern after the code refactoring is clear; releases will be regular, but the new content contained within each will be variable. The scope of the bi-monthly updates has already fallen behind their initial promises for the pace of the rebuild, so you can bet that the Tech Update has simply replaced Old Problems with New, rather than fundamentally upgrading the pipeline.

If you were a cynical man you could say the new structure is perfect for ensuring the game never receives the Abandoned tag again

This game is 8 years old, it's ridiculous that's it's not remotely finished yet

 

[Blue Milk]

So, let me see if I have this right. A few years ago, this game had a ton of content and was progressing well until the devs decided to upgrade the game to 16:9 from 4:3 as well as doing a drip feeding "tech update" of small, incremental updates to various things for a few years. Then, when this "tech update" was finished, rather than all the content from before still being in the game, they took pretty much all of it out for now with the promise that it will start coming back gradually and the game in its current form only has some content for the Mom and sister but not all of it.

Is that about it?

More or less, yeah.

He did a remake of the game, basically.

 

[Blue Milk]

So what's the estimate on all the content being put back in? 5 years?

Also, does "remake" include changing things like that stupid storyline with the Aunt and the human milking barn, or is it all just coming back the same but slightly more "upgraded"?

yes, except that you missed that you can still play the full content to date in v0.20.16 while waiting for the tech update to have all the content migrate over.

We don't know, he wants the game to keep going forever and always add more story, but who knows how many years before we reach the same content, 5? 6? 7 years maybe?

Friends why can i not choose the "normal" mode and not the preview mode ?

 

[Count Morado]

Friends why can i not choose the "normal" mode and not the preview mode ?

Because v21.0.0 is a preview version of the tech update that isn't completed yet. Not everything from the older version has migrated yet. Basically what the current (and repeated) conversation is going on in the thread as you typed that.
