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

ty.. to be honest thats not what i expected but i should have managed my expectation lol.. i figured a 'tech update' meant something major like an overhaul to the animations or graphics but so be it n ty for the reply

The coding overhaul's is by far the largest part of it honestly calling it a tech update's somewhat misleading "rebuild" is the word I'd use for it. They're finally being forced to deal with all the tech debt they've let build up for 5 years by standardizing the code so it's not the Frankensteined patchwork of 5 people of wildly different skill levels held together by band aids constantly about to shit the bed every time they try to add something to it. They're also changing the way asset are labeled and organized so they know where everything is, alongside a new posing system. Redoing route progression so it runs smoother and so you can do multiple character stories at once without the fear of the game giving up on life and a bunch of other QoL fixes that should have been done years ago but because the inmates are running the asylum any attempt at this wasn't voted on because why bother having a functional game when you can have tits.

...why bother having a functional game when you can have tits.

True, true. Why bother indeed.

there was a time when this game used to get a release every month or so ...

There was not a time like that except for sporadic releases of minimal content or wrapping up things.

Spoiler: from v0.10 to present

How many months without an update? I wish I had the level of income to be able to feed a developer with money that do nothing.

v0.20.16: 31 Oct 2022 via Count Morado's post. If you mean the last main story update, that was v0.20.9: 31 Mar 2021

In a way waiting for the update has been a blessing in disguise. With it taking so long I’ve had to branch out and find other porn games. I think I’ve played at least 50 different ones by now. However none of them compare to this game but there are some gems out there.

 

[Hoey]

Waited for 2 years for an actual update, I got a uni degree now and is getting another one, so not too bad I guess.

Will there be an update by the time I get my Masters?

 

[fapmeister]

It's been +2 years since the last major update...

But surely, there will be repercussions in funding terms THIS time right?
People won't keep paying insane volumes of cash for a 30 minute update every couple of years, RIGHT?

At this point I don't even blame the developers as much as I used to. It's also the fault of those funding the scam willingly.

Be honest. If you would stand to get $605k this year and $500k the next and all you'd need to do is not rock the boat, just keep putting out a few wallpapers every few months, doddle aimlessly at backgrounds for a few hours / week and MAYBE put out a few more releases with 30 mins of content each if things get too bad, would you do this easiest of jobs and cash in on your free $1 million or what?

Every single one of you would cash in on that free money. That's what's up.

Nope there won't be any consequences.
There are devs that have literally done nothing for years while receiving 100,000$+/yr then disappeared.
Patreon also doesn't care cause they get paid regardless and there's no legal trouble coming their way.

Patrons have become delusional in thinking DC is their IRL friend and that the game is as hard as making skyrim from scratch using assembly. DC is really good at making simple problems seem like impossible tasks and making excuses for his shit decisions. If you don't know anything about coding, game design or art design you're inclined to believe him. If you do know how to code and/or draw and how game studios work you realize this guy is really incompetent at everything that's not art.

 

[Count Morado]

Blame the patrons. This game is good but not good enough to be worth the waiting + financial support.

Without any patreon support, this game wouldn't be past v0.14 because the developer would need to work fulltime somewhere else and only scant free time in developing - like many of the developers you find on F95 (and people bitch about how little content there is or how long there is between updates - it doesn't matter who the developer or game is, any slight delay and the pitchforks from the entitled whiners come out even though the vast majority of them are either playing for free because someone leaked a copy or because the developer offers it for free to everyone). So instead of blaming the subscribers, you should be thanking them while you continue to play a game that is free for you to play directly from the developer.

The game is free ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Some people get more cash thrown at them for posting pics of their feet.

This is the only well known place where you won't get banned for saying anything negative or critical. The discord and stream people get banned immediately. If you want the "evil negativity" to go away you're free to go there, it's even more popular than here. You're also able to post anything regarding the game here, nobody's stopping you and you will still get a reply.

Yes, yes... all those thoughtful and measured critical responses.

In reality this topic really doesn't provide any value to anybody anymore. It's sadly the way of most games with slower development circles (the WaL! topic will likely reach that point soon, too) which adress a general audience. It's just very little to fun to even talk about the game, when there's such a huge number people complaining about the same thing again and again.

As soon as a large enough number of people start being overly negative, those people of the dev team, who were active in the community, usually leave because they don't want to bother, while others often follow them to the official channels, where they can still talk about the game without being interrupted daily by some idiot, who claims the dev ran away with the money or became an alcoholic and who tries to prevent them from spending another $2.50 on something they like.

Same is true for let's say reddit, by the way, so it's not only the case here.
