Ren'Py Summertime Saga [v21.0.0 wip.5597] [Kompas Productions]

[obibobi]

Again, the vast majority are here because we don't give money.
Also, again, everyone can play Summertime Saga for free directly from the developer's website.
Also, also, again, subscribers aren't subscribing to play this - the listed rewards for each tier are being received as promised.
Also, also, also, again, there are 15,000 other titles on this site to enjoy while you wait to stroke your cock to any kind of new content.
Also, also, also, also, again, it's very telling that you complain about people who are contributing to the livelihood of the artist whose work they love so much that you use fan art of it as your F95 avatar.
I'll just leave this here: #28,647

I haven't played this game in a long time and don't plan on playing it again, I'm just popped in to see what state it's in and that's an awful takeaway.

The reason so many companies want subscription is so they can exploit people forgetting about them. This "product creator" can be criticized for the level of product they provide and you can argue different definitions all you want, that's how myself and many others see them and people here will continue to give their opinion that's what we will criticize them and I don't think that's a bad thing, better people see that the only discussion is failure to deliver rather than potentially be duped.

Other "product creators" deserve it more and its in people's interest to switch, you don't reward bad customer service, if he cared about his livelihood he'd deliver a better product.

Is there anyway to change the MC's name when using someone else's save file? Also does someone have a file with everything done up to 20.14 so i can do everything from that point on my own?

You can use Developer Console, URM, or a save editor to change the variable for the name. Don't have the game on my computer atm to check what the variable is called, but it should be easy enough to find.

yeah but you have to remember the rule that whenever someone cries "milk" Devs have to drink a shot... their livers must be fucked by now... that has to take a toll on the progress.

Yes, but instructions werent clear, and it was a shot of milk.

Their livers are safe, but those lactose intolerant devs, poor guys...

I agree that the developer can be criticized for many things in regards to the product, including poor planning, poor implementation, poor management, etc. particularly when discussing this tech update. I join in that chorus.

As for DC's failure to deliver - you are wrong in your opinion - his subscribers are getting exactly what their Patreon tiers state they should get. Access to download Summertime Saga is not a benefit of being a subscriber; it is not locked behind a pay/subscriber wall; and DC is very explicit about that point. Whether it takes 2 months, 2 years, or - like right now - much longer, has no relevancy.

i gues its time to put abandoned tag on this game ... almost 1 year without update ...

Go to OP, and press the Report button. Select Other. Type your suggestion. Submit using the red Report button.


Wait to be disappointed. Per F95 rules, the earliest it will be tagged abandoned is if someone reports it May 1, 2024 and no update by that time. Set yourself a reminder.

(copy/pasted from 18 days ago)

What does it matter if a title - any title on this sight - gets marked abandoned? It doesn't change whatever the developer is or isn't doing. It's not like they say "Oh fuck, F95 marked my VN abandoned. I might as well just dump everything in the trash" or "Fuck, now I gotta get off my ass." Some small time developers might do either of them, but the average developer won't care. And a successful developer, like DarkCookie, would care even less.​

​

Also, even when an abandoned tag is given to a game - people still go into the threads and pine for what was and what could have been. They wax nostalgic about the lost potential. They beg for the developer to come back.​

​

And there will still be trolls who come in and bitch "update when?"​

 

[Badjourasmix]

Anyone in here that still watches DC's streams and if so has he said anything about the update?

 

[Dragon59]

This game really should just be marked as abandoned.

Don't involve us in your kink.

ma boy think that this would make the dev to be freaked out and come faster with the updates

There's a monthly update status for that.
It's not even close to being done if that's what you're wondering. Check back in a year.

 

[rocket1league]

This dev is getting $60k a month on patreon????? That is insane.
Are there big new early access builds people are playing on?

 

[PierrotSol]

Yes

 

[Lupin the 3rd]

Yes

Stop spreading Lies.

 

[atomicp]

Yesn't

 

[dkatryl]

Stop spreading Lies.

I mean, the "Yes" was said in a post without any direct quotes, so while it *could* have been in response to the immediately preceding post...

...it also could have been to the question, "Will the tech update be finished before the heat death of the universe?"

We'll never know...

 

[TFurguson69]

Stop spreading Lies.

What lies? We're up to almost a year now without anything but our dicks in our hands to show for it. I am getting Simbro vibes. I think DC needs to present a real proof of life. Otherwise my thoughts are he's dead and they're milking it.

 

[mohair]

this game abandoned?

 

[daaar]

this game abandoned?

No, the Dev. is notorious for slow updates.

 

[andrew david irving]

As the dev is making about 745k USD each year (660k is the threshold for the top 1% of US earners), slow updates are not a surprise - which beach are they sipping drinks on ??? They do keep communications going on a monthly basis, and talk about new sceens in the making, but none of that makes it here unfortunately.

Ah, coding while sipping margaritas on the beach...
