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

[ilikemomsonincest]

Just saying, the entire industry relying on donations is a mistake. And I'd imagine if the Japanese industry had followed that trend as well it'd be long since dead. Not like it doesn't have it own issues these days, but that's a different topic.

I don't think there's any 'big name' western porn developer who hasn't fallen prey to the patreon rabbit role.

Ya, I agree, the entire industry is fucked. And at the end of the day you can't even blame the devs. It's not their fault their patrons keep paying them despite the fact that they consistently release updates that fail to even come to having enough content to justify the resources at the devs disposal and the time it took to release it. I'd do the same thing if I was in their shoes. I wish that one day patrons would start holding devs accountable but that day is never gonna come.

So how do i get inside the garage? i used to just click on the garage door, but now i have the key but don't understand where to use it. No inside door to the garage.

I was a freshman in highschool when this game came out. I saw this game from beta to being sorta complete, the main story and heroines being done and here i thought we'd just cruise and wait for all the side characters to be finished but in comes the rework.
I understand game designs hard it's a hellish job but it's crazy to me that this much time has past for a visual novel of all things and to renew a basically completed games progress by moving it to a different engine doesn't seem correct to me.
Like mechanics are mechanics and function are functions, I'd understand if the mini games were gone or certain locations didn't work right but to just outright remove 90% of the content and not even bother remaking the old ones you put in just seems foolish and seems like they're just asking for people to be upset at them.

The door in the hall between the kitchen and the den.

The door in the hall between the kitchen and the den.

I don't see any door between the kitchen and the hall that goes to the living room or the stairs other than the open closet. Can you post a picture of this door?

I had earned my associate's degree when this game came out. By the time Judith gets a proper sex scene, I'll be able to join AARP.

 

[~Legend~]

So still not worth playing again it seems

 

[Ridaugo]

A lot has changed since my last appearance in this game, the gameplay is much better, there are still bugs so I will wait for a few more releases.

haven't played in long time but whats the point for two versions of the game i just dont understand this concept of the stable and W.i.p and does all content get added to stable or what

As someone who is neither a code nerd or on this game's development roadmap like white on rice: I'm just assuming that the devs are upgrading the game from 32-bit to 64-bit because what they have planned needs more 1's and 0's. 'v21.0.0 wip.5258' is them recreating what 'v0.20.16' has in terms of content, so 'v0.20.16' is basically the most up-to-date and stable version.

 

[MurkyTurtle]

Jeez, maybe the entire western porn game industry being so reliant on patreon donations is dogshit?

The danger of starving or having to work another job on the side hasn't stopped the likes of Type Moon in the past either back when they sold their games on Comiket. Show me a western dev who just makes a game and sells it, no donations, no updates upon updates. Just make a finished project from start to finish.

I mean, that mentality has infected more than just the western porn game industry. Seemingly every game dev has gone down the rabbit hole of "live service" in the last few years, since finding your own little pod of whales is a far more reliable source of regular income than trying to release a banger game every 18 months.

Plus, the very existence of forums like these are anathema to just making and releasing a game since the vast majority of this community pirates all their smut. Only the absolute smash hits draw any real cash in the adult space, and convincing 1,000 dudes who won't miss $5 a month to donate in perpetuity is way easier than trying to convince 10,000 people to shell out $20 on Steam for your HS2 magnum opus.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a mockery of the community???

hope dev is doing rework on her xxx scenes, since they look outdated compared to the other girls

 

[Necromant]

Why is there no update I'm waiting my ass here for don't know for how long waiting.

So after patreons cut he's making 608-665k+ a year. Including him there are supposedly 10 team members who knows how much he is paying them and how much they actually work on the game,

The number on patreon is pretty much how much they make (for the creators that show).
As for the team, the majority are part time and global meaning no benefits paid. The US dollar is pretty strong too so conversion is to DC's benefit.
Yes, that is all on purpose. Yes, he's a snake.

He lives in Canada.

He lives in the Eastern U.S.

Only the Bimbo sister is impregnable and I think it's a mod not in game.

Jenny pregnancy is a game feature, not a mod hack.

Hi - I am new to this, apologies if this is not the correct place.

Is my game bugged? I am not sure what to do. Only the teachers paths have triggered. Attached my save file if anyone can help me. Thanks!

Yes, but that is not the point of this concern. The self righteousness of the dev is skyrocket high at this point. Take a look at this changelog. According to 5252 changelog, it says the current content is updated with new stuff and YET there is on-going "preperation for a reboot", but "past versions content removed" is not underlined, therefore the dev is straight up scamming people. The "wrote save migration to fully reset Debbie storyline" does not translate to "this new version completely resets Debbie storyline". Either my reading comprehension is poor or the dev doesn't know how to properly write changelogs... Anyone being unaware of these new updates would assume that they continue the content for 5091 version, which they don't, hence we receiving the scammer vibes... Anyways, I'm sticking to the 5091 version until the dev finalizes Debbie story or the upcoming content surpasses the past versions content. I don't care how much story content is being stretched, if there is no sex scenes, only blueballs then I ain't interested one bit.

 

[YeetTheFeet]

Love the new debbie progression, wish it din't take a billion years to put out an update with 4 mild scenes.
