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

[_Itachi_Uchiha_]

No, a prototype shuttle would've been close to done by now with the amount of time and money this game has taken. Because DC refuses to hire anyone else to speed things up I'd recommend ignoring this game and checking up once every 6 months. .

Complaining here will only get you passive-aggressive responses from people that lurk/mouth breathe/live on this thread. Complaining also will not make it go faster.

There are a lot of games of similar or higher quality on this website, you should look around (I recommend Subverse, What a Legend and Aurelia)

Why do a quick job when you can work slow and still get paid

I understand everything. the game is nice and i like it but for 90k a month you have to do more than that. I understand it's a big update but it's not GTA, we're still talking about small animations so 4 months seems exaggerated to me

Right, it's not GTA ... GTA5 revenues are over $6.4 Billion US. At $90k per month, SS would need about 6,000 years to equal. It's only been around for 5.5 years.

GTA5's budget was about $265 million US 14 years ago. It took 5 years to develop with over 1,000 employees - spending, on average, about $4.4 million US to develop (50 times more than SS revenue per month). Oh, and after the initial release, they spent years working on bugfixes and other aspects of the game.

You're comparing apples/oranges, Mr. Omniscient.

What dude above said, on top of this being a re-code of the game. We getting scenes at all is to help Patrons pass time and have something lewd to do while they wait. All made by 5 dudes (1 art, 1 writing that doesn't have much to do, 2-3 posers losing their minds redoing 200+ scenes a few times each making sure random girl X doesn't have an arm up her face and 1 last dude recoding the entire thing possibly part-time, who'll either die when done or quit coding for a few decades)

Are you stupid or are you kidding? I hope you are joking because mine was an example to tell you that you are not creating GTA but you are creating a game with simple animations taking a lot of money and after 4 months still nothing. i can wait 14 years for gta not for this game

plus 265 million we paid him month by month for GTA ?? !! Obviously not taking 90k a month a minimum of commitment you have to put it there not that in 4 months you have created half of the update

If you can't wait - then stop bitching about the wait and go somewhere else, then.

I am not joking - you are the one who compared a game with over a quarter of a billion dollar budget that took over 1000 people and 5 years to develop and STILL had to continue after it was released with bugfixes and updates to this game. A game made off personal computers, mostly by one person with an added team of less than half dozen in the past couple years with a budget that is pennies when put into perspective.

Yes, the game has simple animations. It has less than 6 people working on it. It has a miniscule budget. It is going to be done practically and it will take time. And you get to play the game without spending $50 (or more), if you don't want to.

You're the one crying when there are thousands of other games to play to keep your mind busy and your cock hard while you wait.

Or I am crazy that after 4 months and with the money I take I would like to play maybe before the summer

You whine so much, as if you personally paid the author these 90K. Funny puppy.

If the developer had a budget of $265 million for SS - the game would have a much different look and yes ... would still take over 5 years to fully develop before you would get a chance to even beta test it. Unlike now, when you get to do so about every 3-5 months.

People don't understand that this update means redoing almost everything that has been done since the first version/release.
It is faster to build a house than to renovate one.

OK let me know when your backbone will grow. If things don't go right you have to make yourself heard because otherwise the content creators will continue to squeeze every penny from people who trust them.

Bitching on this thread about the update schedule is just yelling into the void and makes you look silly. Sure, it might make you feel better - but it makes us feel better to comment, too. Tit for tat.

It has been repeated, time and again, that the developer doesn't come on this thread (or if he does, he doesn't interact with the thread). If you want to make yourself heard to the developer - go jump onto one of his pretty regular live streams at his

You must be registered to see the links

to chat with him. He's streamed working on his art 3-5 times each week for the last several weeks - about 30 times since the new year.

Or go into his

or

to make yourself heard, anytime.

But that's only if you really want to stand up for the people who you think have been hurt by the developer.

He (DC) came once (lol) into the thread and posted about 15 replies within 5 minutes and then vanished

 

[Flash Dingo]

Complain all you want about DarkCookie, he's done far more with his game than Yandere Dev has.

You'll have to come out with your own rhymeliciousness if you hope to beat me and not just copy/paste my glorious post

It was not just copy/paste. It was a masterpiece. I took your ambitioned attempt of poetry as inspiration, like masters do, and polished it. I formed a Sancy out of your rough diamond. It shines bright in this thread, and ever will.

For the love of god its been 4 months and he is only halfway through. Is Dev turning into Icstor?

 

[Omnikuken]

Yes, since Icstor does nothing for almost 2 years and DC streams daily, they're both the same

 

[Bumblebee813]

And also this guy needs 2 months for progress from 90% to 100%. What the heck#%#?

Listening to DC and stray talking yesterday, it's probably fair to say that they are basically replacing/redoing everything that's not art or a minigame. So what was supposed to be a tech update to extend the game to widescreen, basically ended up being a completely new game below the hood.

Then again, we should get the next batch of scenes sooner than later.
