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

[Black Orchid]

Unless he actually starts losing a lot of subs I don't think he cares that much. The timing is weird and doesn't look good, but at this point he probably is just tired of people asking for the update.

yes, he is just tired after exactly 18 months, not after 17,16,15,14 etc. him scrambling to release anything after 18 months of laying on the couch is a totall coincidence and definitely has nothing to do with the abandoned tag AT ALL. he just grew tired of not releasing anything... yup, that has to be it.

I feel like people overestimate the influence this thread has on the game. It helped a lot earlier on, but even if the mods for some reason decided to remove the game from this forum I don't think it would affect him that much. But yea by deciding to release an update now, he is definitely not beating the milking allegations

I like it, this way it wont be a one big bug mess, and also we will know where the new content is. as we will slowly test all parts.

heres a zesty take....

DC finished the tech update months ago and is waiting until the abandoned tag came around to release something

they'll just switch to whatever side dc was on. i remember a few staunch supporters saying releasing the tech release in small parts was a bad idea.

 

[Arrohon]

Spreading out the release for bug testing is a valid idea, but who needs 2 months of bug testing for content they originally made years ago? If he wants to release in parts like this, 2 weeks between the parts is the max that is reasonable. Because none of this is new.

I mean I guess it's better than just not releasing anything... At this pace it seems like it would take another 2 years for the tech update to be finished. They don't really have many options.

Seriously.

even if he manages to do 2 months between each portion of content it will still probably take over a year for everything from the current version to be there

And I'm sure that will keep the (same) game going for other 5 years. Amazing, just amazing..
As I posted before I'm expecting side/AI-fanmade-projects to drop faster than the official release, as it's hopeless at this point.

 

[MisterMeh]

My advice for the people who are still upset they can't play the game yet, is to stop paying for it.

By the way, where is the abandoned tag? Where am I supposed to see it? Legitimate question here.

Oh the defenders alrealy changed the script just like DC did,just look at the last pages

Having read that patreon post, it'll be interesting to see as to how far they actually managed to replace/rework Debbie's art. DC did quite a few of her sprites on stream and to me that suggests that her old art should be gone for good (apart from her scenes, maybe?).

A few months ago I'd have said they'll implement some of the old stuff (Debbie, Mia, Erik, the teachers, etc.) again, until they actually release their reworks, but now I'm really not so sure anymore.

Yes , with this new release idea, putting any old stuff would be actually stupid waste of time, its all new now

With DC talking about a new, "general direction", I think this update really has become a total overhaul. I mean, they would have to touch up the old art/scenes anyway to fit the new aspect ratio; while they're at it, why not just redo it so it's consistent with everything else?
