Ren'Py Summertime Saga [v21.0.0 wip.5787] [Kompas Productions]

[KingRei]

It doesn't take two years to code the introduction to a VN in Python.

But it's not just the intro? It's the tech update. It's the infrastructure for all of the game's systems even if you can't see that on the surface.

It does if you have no work ethic and are getting paid regardless.

 

[iHellraiser]

Holy shit, people just love to throw hate for no reason at all... I'm sure most of those who complain here never paid a single penny for this game or any other. Just enjoy the update if you want it or just ignore it, it's an update of a beloved game, instead of enjoy it, people just love to throw bilis... It's not disapointig, it's just sad...

No wonder being a developer can become such a depressive work... Free players are never gonna be happy, no matter what the dev does...

yeah yeah we saw you DarkCookie

An update?

 

[qaqa960123]

So this update no new scene?

 

[Maericke]

Allow me to say something positive.
The game plays way better and things do look more polished.

 

[jackpierce375]

So this update no new scene?

Worse, everything removed except for Debbie and Jenny

 

[Adoringfan]

It'll be fine, someone a few pages back said this time we will be getting an update every 2 months, instead of every 2 years.

 

[CigarRex]

The resolution upgrades are great, and so are the little new CGs for a few old scenes.

Though, I really want to know why doesn't the game have any SFX to this date. I haven't been following any development since 0.18, so has this been addressed already?

To add insult to injury, 0.21 has even removed the little amount of songs the game always had, such as the menu and the map songs. Why? Do they have any plans to add more later?

I won't really comment on the releasing schedule, everything's been said already. But not having any sounds at all always held STS back imo, and still does.

A remake... this game is really dead.

It is not even a remake. It uses 90% of the old stuff

People from the 2016 after seeing the update:

 

[khang3182]

This release because the new policy of Patreon lol, tag abandon will appear when the game not posted any news since last update 2 weeks or any new version every 2 months. They start to have a fear that they will lose their job if continue talk shit with no update

 

[XCelesX]

Dev loves milk.
He makes so much money and makes such shit updates. Instead of finally giving the opportunity to impregnate MC's mother...

MCs mother even has the old model and there are like 90% old scenes

 

[MidnightKing]

As someone mostly out of the loop, was there any prior communication this was going to do this drip feed thing of re-releasing older content like this? If not that is nuts.

And did they give any estimate of just how many of these two month releases there are going to be before it's caught up?

 

[The David]

Some of you guys go out of your way to show how computer illiterate you are. lol

When the tech update was first announced it was clearly laid out that what he was doing is rebuilding the entire game. How are any of you surprised that this is what happened unless you didn't understand a word of the explanation for the tech update?

Yeah, rebuilding the source code from scratch means that every part of the game has to be rebuilt too.

On the coding side, this game is basically a new game now. You can't just copy-paste an old game's code base into a new game's code base and hit a compile button. That's not how software development works. lol

The problem itself isn't exactly with how long it takes. The main issue many of us take with it(myself included), is the overwhelming amount of money he gets every month. Considering there is over 31 thousand paying members... many of which have the higher tier on patreon unlocked... It is safe to assume that average patronage each month from all the patrons equals to roughly... 3-4 USD? That's a huge amount of money each month for basically no work done in two years of waiting while DC keeps hoarding more and more money.

A remake... this game is really dead.

A remake with Old art no less...

 

[McSlut]

dude i still can't with some of this new "improved" jenny art. has DC become a worse artist in the last couple years? does he not give a shit anymore? it legit looks terrible and lazy as fuck. how can ANYONE say AI art looks worse than this?

I heard they were going to drip-feed it before, so I guess they made a post about it

 

[XCelesX]

If the blonde's name isn't Debbie or Jenny, then no. Only these two girls and "1st day school" story again.

Debby got almost nothing though! Same model, 99% same scenes and not even pregnancy added AFTER 2 YEARS

O my god, its alive!
