Ren'Py Summertime Saga [v21.0.0 wip.5605] [Kompas Productions]

[Truvelo]

I've always wondered if developers really make as much as is shown on Patreon or Subscribestar?
Do these platforms take a % of their revenue? I'm trying to understand this because for example you release a game on Steam that even if it's good won't make as much money in a few months as Summertime Saga does in a month, is there a catch somewhere?

Hi guys,
does anyone know when we can expect the translations of the new version?

former developer here. yes, what you see is what they get/take home. the deduction from patreon is already removed from the earnings you see on their 'About' page, beside the paid members count.

edit: you need to deduct the paypal fee after that too.

Is the new update supposed to be at the end of this month? Not like it matters much to me because i wont play it until it catches up and i want to play it with the stats stuff.

I am very confused by this game. I remember playing it a while back and there was a ton of content. The version I downloaded should be the most recent, but it doesn't seem to have anywhere near the content that I remember

Because it's a remake.

Because it's a remake.

What exactly is remade. The content that is there seems to be the same???

More or less, a couple of new scenes, and even if the game is the same graphically speaking, it's on a new engine. Also, the game would never end because he's planning to forever add new things (but I don't see that happening anyway).

So, for now, he will re-release old content with some new twist until he reached where the original game was. It's gonna be a very long time before we have real new content.

That honestly kills any desire to retry this game. Oh well

Oh Thnx.

 

[Milf_Loverx]

Yes. Mom will be getting updated scenes slowly with the coming partial tech updates.
There's gonna be 1 updated Debbie scene next update (potentially).

If you want info like that or spoilers I suggest following the art streams or going on their discord.

Oh ok, Thnx. Im in DCs discord server but cant find much things cuz its a mess.

 

[Proz4xXx]

just glad I still have the old versions saved.

so currently the remake has less content than the original?

 

[txe320]

Yes, of course. Since it's a remake, he's basically restarting the game from "scratch", if we can say.

That's why I went back and played the old version.

Same. Going to to play the old version.

Now I understand, I'll be honest, it's impressive and Summertime Saga is not the only case where the creators earn so much money, thank you for your answer!

If he's gonna keep adding shit, eventually, it's gonna fucking bloat and be too big a file size for some devices to run properly.

Yep, but be would probably cut it in "season" or something like that if he ever does it.
