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

[Omnikuken]

DarkCookie First things first thanks. If your replying here I have two questions.
1) Are the gonna do the grave yard, principle basement and school janitorial closet next seems there all related and could be a big uodate
2) Will you be hinting at what's next and have you thought about trying the 3d type games popular now or will you stick with the 2d style?

1) Graveyard already has main story, Odette, Daisy/Aqua, probably other scenes in it too. The rest is mostly Annie update
2) Why would he go 3D if his main joy in life is drawing everything by hand ? And doing it for the last ~4 years, almost daily. Not only would it be hot garbage, it wouldn't be him doing much and most people would pitchfork his ass for going the "re-used asset 3D swap" route, unless you want even more milkers coming out to bitch about him

I mean, Grace got an extra scene in the last batch of scenes. She'll probably get 1 or 2 more scenes down the line. Not sure when though.

yeah it was a top notch scene too but good to hear that my favourite SS girl will be getting a couple more scenes down the line. seriously though just keep doing what you're doing, the game is great. i can't wait for rhonda i hope her update is going to be BIG.

 

[PervyBetty]

Since we're on the subject and Cookie himself may be here, I'll ask the question everyone wants to know:

Will we be seeing any of Roz's twin sister Roze?


"The name's RO-O-O-OZE!"

1)I missed that whole odette part because never got to open then grave there will retry thanks.
2)On the other point that was just curiosity on my part although I have no problem with daz, I'm in it for the story most of the time, reusing assets is not a big deal for me either it's not like you stop watching Will Smith or Sean Connery or Bruce Willis etc after their first movies. His critics will complain no matter what he does. Can't lie for a brief time I got caught in the frustration of his style until I understood how unique it was then I appreciated it. Guessing if I'm debating applying his style to 3d he can create his own characters from scratch and not bother with daz. Someone may be able to correct me but I believe NLT does his/their own characters from scratch. Don't crucify if I'm wrong I've just not seen those assets there.

1- All of that will be touched on in Annie's story (3 updates from now) and yes it's going to be a large update including Annie/Her Mom/Mrs Smith hscenes (and pregnancies). Will most likely do split endings as well if time allows.

2- After SS? I have a bunch of ideas but not sure which I'll be doing yet. No point in over thinking future projects when I have so much to complete on this project as is. Some are 3D, others are 2D. For VN style games though I prefer the charm and development speed of 2D.

I was just thinking how we desperately needed a slug girl in the game.

Ok back to work, catch you later gators! xo

It is probably better not to make split endings, since this will require more development time (updates are released, unfortunately, very rarely ) and the main character in the process of one playthrough must attach ALL women of the city to his harem, without exception (and perhaps not only women ) to create an army of their offspring, conquer the galaxy and rule it like father and son God-Emperor.

Wow, your a champ, I just reread what I typed and even I could not understand it. Sorry about the typos/autocorrects. I really need to start rereading before I post.

50/50 chance it was the fake DC account on Instagram or whatever and we've been bamboozled

 

[aaronburr]

That just blew my mind. Totally seeing the similarity.

Plus side, SS Roz has much bigger breasts

Honestly, I thought both were based on the grandma from the tv show Dinosaurs from some years back

There hasn't been any new characters for quite some time. After all, SS isn't this game.

That's good to hear!

By "no new character", you mean the ~10 we didn't get through the 0.20 main route ? Guess we're not playing the same game

Haven't played in about a year and a bit.

Is the incest patch link broken? I tried download it from lewd patcher, but when I hit download it gives me an html file, not a rpa file. I read there is one for current version but it is unofficial and I would prefer download something that was uploaded by the autor himself.

For Sex with Crystal you have to have Sex with Roxxy in the trailer when she is outside. For locker sex, you have to have sex with her in the trailer as well again. For further questions, the

Then he would have done a good job faking his game developer tag

He did some cameo appearances in this forum. Last was over two years back already. I wished he would post more often here, at least once per release or so.

I think it's a shame that we can't talk to Crystel in bed. If she do something like that, "put horns" on her own daughter, then do it right, right? Anyway, I wonder why there is only 1 bed in the trialer. Do mom and daughter sleep in there together? Or is Crystel sleeping outside in the field?

As far as I remember Roxxy mentions that there's only room for one bed for both of them.

I hope you can find the time to add a that split, as these do improve the stories and the game in general significantly in my opinion.

So how can splitting improve the plot and story, eh? Need to save and replay the game again? I personally think it's better to have one coherent plot and all the scenes concentrated in one playthrough, rather than "smeared" along many lines. After all, the STS was never advertised as an RPG game. The exception may be Eve's story (for obvious reasons) or perhaps a prom night when you need to finally choose the queen of the ball. Although it is possible to implement a "harem version" in the sitcom genre
(a classic example - the marriage of Figaro), when the hero has to torn between many heroines, hiding his betrayal from them and getting into various funny situations. It is much easier to implement than 6-7 "romantic" parallel stories, it would be much more fun and interesting and could be a worthy ending for the whole game.

 

[j4yj4m]

So how can splitting improve the plot and story, eh?

Massively, indeed, simply because you can write good stories and don't have to bend everything so that every girls fits into the harem eventually. That's fine with 2 or 3 characters (maybe 4 to 5) but as soon as it's more than that the game usually suffers or gets boring pretty quickly.

Just take Mia's story as an example, where you've got Helen and Yumi. A split enables us to get a nice and somewhat meaningful story for Helen and Yumi each, because Harold will get the other one. It's the same with let's say June and Mrs. Johnson or Judith and the Latinas.

To a degree it's just as Eve's story would have benefitted from a "naughty branch", where MC doesn't go down the romance path but focusses more on the lewd stuff including Grace and Odette, so we could be spared the fact, that Grace has concerns about fucking MC and that there's no way to get her scenes without that.

Need to save and replay the game again?

The game tells you when to save and you can just start from there and play the other arc. I don't see the problem.

I personally think it's better to have one coherent plot and all the scenes concentrated in one playthrough, rather than "smeared" along many lines.

I personally think the opposite. Especially because the plot my be coherent but usually just becomes pretty meaningless.

After all, the STS was never advertised as an RPG game.

It was and is indeed advertised as "dating sim/VN" and as thus it's pretty reasonable to expect choices. In fact it would be odd if there weren't any.

Although it is possible to implement a "harem version" in the sitcom genre

To be fair, the game was never really meant to be a harem. Yes, you'd always be able to fuck every girl in town (it was never promised that it would be possible in one playthrough) but in the first ~18 months DC actually refused to even add a harem feature and only agreed because so many people wanted it.

I don't really know where the expectation that every girl should be fuckable in one playthrough comes from.
