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

[MrCrit]

Not rly. As patrons we get a say in the content. Same with update frequency, ppl voted for longer periods between updates in exchange for getting more content and higher quality overall per update.

just an interesting question or viewpoint; did they offer maybe alpha patches for patrons? like basically after every week or so update a file with whatever content game out to help test some stuff, get some impressions, etc...? or is that just impossible for them to commit to?
just thinking about maybe another reason to donate and also have people help with bug testing a bit during the patches themselves. (sorry if was already asked i cant seem to be able to seach for stuff yet through threads)

as game designer here is my opinion and why I think dc is doing poor job I am not saying that I am too good but if you read this don't do mistakes that we did long time ago , there was a time which our team were working on a game project and it was quite good game and when we reached deadline and released the game I think it was CPY who cracked the game 2 days latter ,

but that didn't stop us from delivering the game on its own time , we could have wait and create other servers in order to delay cracking the game but we had to deliver it for the sake of fans

it is not about you supporting devs or not , when you are creating a game you are responsible to your fans because at the end of the day they make you who you are and they will make your game from a good to great game ,

it really doesn't matter if it is a porn game or RPG game fans are always the most valuable resource for a designer with out them you are you know beeeep!

either way I think dc putting less time than he should to cause his game is a sandbox game with maybe 100 new drawing art in each update

right now I think he is working 14 hours per week but a normal game designer works between 40 to 60 hours per week I am not saying that he should work that hard but if starts working 4 hours per day I think his team will be able to release an update every 3 weeks.

Where's the profit in that, huh?

 

[MyNameIsBubblesTheMonkey]

It hasn't even been 4 months yet.

4 months and all we get is a couple more Diana scenes and some clothing redraws. At this rate jenny will take 6-8 months to complete then he will spend an entire year on the emo girl. Blue balls.....the bluest of balls.....

look at the brighter side,at least your balls will match her hair color

 

[matt2c2]

i like your time estimative,it makes me looks a positive thinking kind of guy

84 updates left to complete at 3-4 months between each update =28 years give or take

well I am working 60hours per week and my wage is around 11k per month I don't mean to brag but I just want you to get familiar with salary in game industry , dc patreon page shows that he is making almost 50k per month but I think patreon gets some of his money and also there is rule that if you get more than 10k per month on internet you gotta pay taxes removing that they are 7 people who are working on this project unless dc takes all the money he has to share the income he probably gets 4 k or 5 k per a month .

as much as it sound tempting and saying that OMG he is making 50k per month he is not making much money but as i said if he wants to deliver updates early he needs to work at least 25 hours per a week

I hope I understand your post correctly and answered you correctly

Dude, he streams more than 14 hours per week. And we know that what is streamed is only a fraction of what is in the update.

Was about to mention the same thing, I've only been a patron for about couple of months but I've already seen him stream more than the above mentioned 14 hours per week. :O

Gotta love it when a developer not familiar with DC or his partners, shows up and starts their criticism by pulling numbers straight out of their a.s.

 

[GickMick]

If they are so incompetent at making games why are you still in this thread?

Because the art is good even if the coding is a crime against humanity.

How will the incest patch of this update work?

I mean whoever makes the patch is going to have to rewrite diologue instead of just reverting it.

I think it similar to just using ctr-f and finding all the words you wanna change

I'm sure it will be out shortly after the update

Hate to suddenly jump in here but are we REALLY arguing over a PORN game!? Why don't we all drop our pants and wank it off eh? After all porn makes the world go round!

 

[TheBatchCode]

I think you guys are getting baited.

Not defending him, just seems like you're hitting your face against a brick wall.

"Porn games" have and still do deliver some of the best storytelling in the industry so decrying the intention of discussion just on the basis of them having erotic content is a bit...you know.

Now that sounds like some proper scifi stuff

For the record, DC also used to be lead art director for a major studio as well, but got tired of the way the industry was going, and started this to learn a bit of coding. To his great surprise, his little test project became popular.

It is what it is, bitching isn't going to make it come any faster ...nor harder.

Did not know that. :O Just knew he was an artist, but I didn't know he used to be in the industry prior to SS. Then again, I've only been a patron for a couple of months, and haven't really had the time to check out much of anything except a couple of his streams.
