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

[PayneToTheMax]

An real chef would know that the eater's opinion on the food's tastiness is of paramount importance. even if the person eating it is 99.99% of the time not a chef themselves.

That is absolutely not true at all if you go to any high class restaurant.
I don't agree with your new best buddie here, either, but lol. Lmao even.

Do I have to play as the wiki says? Because if I play as I want Some characters are stuck in certain situations. Can't continue playing

Uh, what?
What do you mean "if I play as I want"?
Also, what do you mean by you "can't continue playing?"

Do you have an example? What are you trying to do that it won't let you do? What does the wiki say you should do but you don't want to do?

Play without completing each character's story.
Then start a new story with another character. And it's like some scenes where the same items are used. The game cannot continue. About to have a mission Whoever can do it, go ahead and do it first, things like that.
Now I'm stuck on an event. Then invited me to play poker.

First, I searched the wiki for "whoever can do it" and found nothing. What mission on whose page are you attempting?

The list of character routes in the wiki do not need to be done in the order they are listed on the main walkthrough page (

You must be registered to see the links

) UNLESS they say that you need to do something first. Obviously, you cannot complete Main Story: Part 3 without completing the previous parts.

You DO have to follow the steps within each character's route, though. You can't do something at the start of the walkthrough of Jenny's route and then try to complete one of the last missions unless you have completed her entire route up to then.

Here are three questions that the answers of which would help figure out what it takes to help you:

• Whose story are you not wanting to continue right now and what was the last section on the wiki page in their walkthrough that you completed?
• Whose story are you wanting to work on now, what is the first section on their wiki page of their walkthrough that you want to start?
• Of that second person's story, have you done everything on their wiki page leading up to that point?

EDIT: I see you edited your post while I was typing my response to you. Instead of attempting to ask you more questions, I'm going to wait for you to respond to this post, first.

I mean, we are definitely putting this chef's analogy through its paces lately, but...

If you go so high end that the chef takes the position that you should like whatever nonsense they serve up?

And if you dont then you're just some unwashed pleb that cant possibly understand what is good because you aren't a chef?

But dammit, you paid premium prices for it, so of course the chef must be correct!

So you convince yourself that you are just uncultured swine that has no business commenting about the shitty food and service.

I mean, i guess that analogy still works?

 

[Bellua]

Just saw the Abandoned tag and all I have to say is lol
lmao

I don't want to be negative, I don't want to let emotion cloud judgement, I don't want baseless accusation. I just want a clear, concise, no-bullshit answer.

What the fuck is this dev doing for the last 18 months? Why is everything taking so much time for so little? Why is it so hard to have frank discussion instead of always having this adversarial Corporate empty speech and pitchfork mob anger?

Is having 2 years of no updates not enough reason to feel a bit upset?

This game updates at a snale pase. And this is one of the oldest games on this website.

How things are now it fear it will take the rest of cookie's life to maybe finish it.

I'm past that, I just want to understand.

Yes, shame they removed the facepalms. Now you can get traumatized by angry emojis staring you down too.

I don't think you've met many quality Head Chefs, based upon that statement. In their minds, they create masterpieces that anyone with a cultured and educated palate would savour and salivate over. If the creation matches the Chef's expectations, usually the person who disagrees with them is considered a pleb who has eaten far too many sawdust burgers or sucked on pig and chicken asshole sausages out of sidewalk carts where rats have shat better turds than the meat found in the cart.

While such people EXIST, they are the kind of awful chefs that would end up on the gordon ramsey show as he tears them a new one for their unwarranted self importance.

We also have that swearing reaction now.

Who bullied you,the flower guy?

wouldn't blame em
he's in damn near every thread lol

Problem is people now start using "ROFL" emoji in negative sense so now you don'T know if people laugh at your joke or if they laugh at you.

Honestly? DC is probably terrible at managing people.

It isn't just DC, it is most of the developers for games on this site. While they may be some combination of a good artist, coder, writer, and developer; they are rarely good managers of people or projects.

I sigh a little bit whenever I see a game here get successful and then the developer(s) say they are going to hire/contract more people. Because it means there is now an 70% chance the game is going to start being developed a whole lot slower, a 20% chance it keeps about the same pace of production as when it was just the original dev working on it, and only a 5% chance it will actually result in the game getting done more quickly.

I'd really just prefer they just pocket the money they are making and keep plugging away the same way they had been. If they want to try running a team they should study up on project management (or hire a project manager) and plan their next game to be a team project from the beginning.

A lot of development problems for western-made games on this site is due to all of them being supported by monthly subs on patreon/subscribestar. A lot of devs promise things to get more subscribers, like animated scenes for an example, when a goal is hit and then said addition ends up slowing down the updates due to the amount of extra work and need for extra artists, animators, voice actors, or whatever needed to fulfill their promise. In addition, a monthly subscription incentivizes smaller, less frequent updates and there's no actual reason for devs to feel incentivized to complete their game. It's insane the amount of games on here that have been in development for 5+ years and don't feel anywhere near a complete game, while normal indie developers pop out completed, polished games in a year or two.

For real. The whole Patreon thing was a mistake. Developers have no motivation to actually finish their product because why would they ? They already have steady income they don't need to sell anything for profit. Infact finishing the game would mean they would have to come up with something else to keep people subscribed so finishing the game is not even in their best interests.

Also like you said they will make promises to people so they give them more money. Daily lives of my countryside is exemple of game that's overbloated with characters because the dev keeps adding more of them instead of finishing content for those already in the game.
