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

[exazubi]

My goodness. We've all been waiting for the tech update for years. Now it finally came, without content. And now it takes so long a second time to add the old content again until it finally continues. The code in the background must be quite a disaster

 

[Tv301]

Can you get Debbie pregnant yet or has that still not been implemented?

 

[Garbanzo Beans]

lmao they removed more content in this update and didnt add anything.

 

[Glaoui]

I'm honestly curious at this point how many of those complaining and whining in this thread have actually supported the game financially in some way at some point, as opposed to playing a game that can be downloaded from here for free.

First, to be mad at a scam, you don't need to be the victim of it yourself. You can feel empathy for what happens to others, too. Try it.
Second, this game has always been meant to be free, but it always meant also to be finished. That was what DC said years ago.

There is a direct link between the game being not finished and people being scammed; so 2 reasons to not be pleased.

 

[trumpthatbitch]

Looking at the quality and quantity of the updates, these devs could do anything, or rather nothing, and still have their sizeable paycheck.

In other words, there's literally zero incentive for them to work on the game.

I haven't played in 3 years and the file size is smaller than when I last played. I could never get around having to restart my game after every update. It was bonkers to me that 33k subs and he couldn't develop a working save system.

 

[whereislotion]

Don't mind me, i just dropped in to see people raging, hoping to find some funny comments for this new update, i won't even bother to download it. After experiencing 'new' summertime saga i decided to keep old 'Before the Tech Update v0.20.16'

Prolly a good amount? Thankfully, I left during the early signs of milking and only wasted 80 bucks on this mess. Imagine being one of those suckers that's still paying for Judy content?

 

[Badjourasmix]

At this point this situation is just hilarious. This went from one of the best games on this forum to an absolute joke. The last update before he started working on this mess was in March of 2021. We are getting really close to 4 years and this is what we get . Game was first released 8 years ago and almost half of that time has been spent on a tech update. Amazing!

 

[CountBojag]

This is why I still have v20.16 so I can enjoy the old version.

 

[Notimportante_]

jesus christ theres 33,403 subscribers and worst case is that they are all $1 a month subprictions. means at the very least he is making 33k a month or 396k a year. For a barely developed on porn game.

Okay, I’m gonna poke the angry nest here, bruh.
I’ll try not to meatride too hard on the devs I swear.

First of all, quality over quantity—not sure why there were so many tech updates. Probably for a reason, but if it means the game loads in 30 seconds instead of 3 minutes, like it was (or still is) on mobile, and there are less bugs, which I haven't encounter now for a long-long time, I’ll take that as a win.

Second, about this crazy math you’re throwing out of nowhere: it’s like my brain is getting damaged, like when I fell into the Minecraft void—the more I read it, the worse it gets.
33,403 subscribers at $1 minimum sounds wild, sure. Let’s forget the fees, forget that Patreon takes a cut, and even forget that transaction fees bite into its ass—it’s irrelevant. Let’s not even mention taxes, because yeah, who cares. But please, man, I’m begging here: at least divide it because there are 10 people on this team.
My man here posted his math skills before GTA 6.

(Also, there’s a new title coming up. So maybe they’re transferring most of the assets into that? But hey it’s just a theory.)

Sooo, after waiting more months we got "update" which... removed even more content under excuse of "rework".
And there are still people who pay DC money and defend him with religious fervor here XD

 

[hisnik2]

We got 2 new "rework" scenes. TWO

 

[Xupuzulla]

Lazyness being rewarded once again.
How many hungry hungry devs out there barely making a penny while here this guy farts a bad update and is rewarded 60k...
Merry christmas for the Scamcookie family i guess.

 

[Count Morado]

The complaining relates to a game that was already 90% complete nearly 8 years ago, which was supported financially at that time that has since been taken backwards and reworked it would appear solely to drain the wallets of new contributors without actually adding anything. Not an entirely unreasonable complaint.

Your lack of logic disappoints your namesake.

 

[Badjourasmix]

Meh at this point I don't feel bad for anyone that still supports him. They are the ones enabling this behaviour so they get what they deserve.

I certainly do have empathy for scam victims. What I have no empathy for is a) people whining about a game they probably haven't paid anything for (please note the usage of the word "probably") and b) when said whiners have shown zero empathy for scam victims.

Now for something for you to try: comprehend that not every question or comment on the internet is an attack against yourself.

Lol this game is so fucked. We're getting a complete game by what 2030 at best?

Not before another "technology update" and it starts over again. 3020 more likely.

Yeah, alright, 10 people.
Now, they have 1,5,10 and 20$ stuff. So, without cuts, they're probably making AT LEAST 60k/month.Now we can "add" all this stuff you mentioned, and even with this it's safe to say they have at least 30k/month clean. Probably more, but fine, 30k it is.
So, each fella getting his fare share of... 36k/year. Yeah, it's not that much, at least for US and EU, but still good enough.
And, as you said, it's a team of 10 PEOPLE. TEN, CARL! And even if this is not their full time job (but should be really close), they literally spend last 3-4 months for a few QoL fixes, few bugfixes, very few new arts and few !restored! events. So... practically almost nothing really new. 10 people. 36+k/year. Each. And we have this.
