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

[Vakul]

I have a theory (more like presumable reality) that once DC achieves economical milestone (or his supporters wake up from this obtuse lucid dream) - he will annouce a complete departure from the project and sell the rights or just shut down the development. It was a planned obsolescence all along imo. Obviously, this would trash DC notorious reputation even deeper, but he will change the name and comeback with another surface level scam or completely abandon video game industry as a developer. Either way, I agree SS is dead and following any sort of content about it will grow a long term resentment.

No, he will pay for another surgery to remove remaining parts of his brain and then he will be just like his brainded patrons.
Then he will announce a new remake made fully with degenerate AI - to match the dev himself. Then they will all live happily, just like they always wanted. Unlimited Shit Works ending. Until AI accidently finish the project - then all of them will suffer and die. True Happy end.

This game hasn't seen a single cent from my pocket in a few years. I admired DC for making this game and for years I was a regular subscriber to a high tier of their Patreon because the game was amazing to me, but then everything changed and now we have fragments of the past as new stuff. Why the hell can't they just please new and old players? They just promised something that to this day, after years and years, they never delivered. They didn't even manage to reach their goal of updating every 2 months. This game has become a huge piece of shit for everyone who has followed it for all these years. DC is a stupid scammer and there is no opinion that can change my mind about that.

It will take a miracle for someone to revive the protect like what Nergal/Naughty Underworld did with Urban X Life with Urban Demons.

Looking at this i'm actually surprised the dev doesn't use any of this

Also with all the amount of people asking for content i can see why he takes his time, with all every single variation of these things

Dildorog content is in v0.20.16. he's been contracted by DC in the past... Which may also explain why dildorog has not been removed by Patreon for using official copyright-protected assets. DC and dildorog may have an agreement. May even include financial percentage.

Don't know if dildorog will have content in future releases.

is there new any new scene after tech update ?

It's incredibly smart to develop a game for 8 years and then claim that the source code requires updating, only to remove almost all content. It means that you will be able to fuck with your patrons another few years, earning you additional millions.

REALLY smart. Cus apparently, most of your patrons don't care that you cheat them like crazy...

(PS: if the engine required an update, you should have abandoned the piece of crap that is Renpy...)

No, and most of the original game isn't there either...

Actually it wasn't a Lie in that regard, there was one Coder who messed up big in this Game. That's why it was always so buggy and such.
Keep in Mind, the Achivement for opening the Lockers in School is bugged for years in the old version.

This wasn't a trick but yeah, the Development Team was kinda Stupid to allow the old Coder to mess up so long.
It made sense to actually Code everything new to avoid problems in the future but honestly, it takes too much time for the money they do.
There should have been a new main Coder and one temporally to help doing it quicker. Instead he just hired the main Coder.

That's what I've been saying. Dude's an evil genius.

Updates engine yet keeps using Renpy and makes millions, genius

 

[PayneToTheMax]

Updates engine yet keeps using Renpy and makes millions, genius

What engine would you prefer?

 

[sometowell]

What engine would you prefer?

If renpy works, there's no problem and it'snot like this kind of games need a powerful engine, lying about updating the engine that's the problem

 

[Count Morado]

lying about updating the engine that's the problem

It wasn't about upgrading the engine.
As stated on this page and many others, it was about the shoddy coding within the engine by the various members of the development team in the past with various levels of coding experience and skills.

Big difference.

Let's see if big man sticks to his 2 month update schedule since he HAAAAAD to cut the previous update short despite being 4-5 days away from a full debbie path but he HAAAAAAAD to make sure he hit the 2 month deadline.
