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

[Avalanche1993]

Okay I have a question. As someone who stopped playing about 4 years ago, which version is the one with most content? The one that was supposedly almost finished? The before tech update one? Because Im playing the last one and Im surprised to see the story just ends in like 20 minutes.

20.16

 

[Rsngo]

Yeah, but they use the old art. DC didn't find the old art acceptable for Debbie, he won't find it acceptable for the teachers. While DC redraws old stuff, new stuff isn't drawn, and the game doesn't progress.

It really pisses me off that he's messing around with his 3 programmers instead of using the money to bring the game back to where it was before the tech update and complains in the stream about how everyone keeps asking where the new stuff is

Ah that's the one. Thank you very much.

They are indicated as complete on the 21.0.0 opening menu screen and the scenes are in the updated aspect ratio so I believe that they are considered completed for purposes of the tech update.

How come the dev(s) (Idk how many there are) find it necessary to "rework" scenes. Like, finish the damn game and then start polishing up everything.

Also, I last played like 3 years ago, should I start another playthrough now or wait until it's finished? (If it ever will be finished)

 

[PayneToTheMax]

The teachers already had an art update in the past, though. Debbie was like Day 1 shit. Some of the already old finished routes probably won't be getting any huge updates in the art department, like Roxxy and Eve.

Incest Patch for the latest update (WIP 5258) and the Pre-Tech Version (0.20.16)

This is a patch that reverts back the relationship of the characters to how it was before the change in Patreon policy.

Why use this patch?
Much more comprehensive list of changes to dialogue. I checked almost every line of dialogue and made sure it flowed correctly. This is not just a simple name change for the characters, but whole blocks of lines are back to their 14.5 version of the game (the last version that has incest). New dialogue written for this tech update also were taken into consideration since DarkCookie is adding new story beats. I'll try to make the dialogue conform to their familial relationship as much as possible. I also modified the art asset to fit the new widescreen resolution of the game, and will continue doing so as needed.


What about other incest patches out there?
outdated and shouldn't be used. Lots of text bugs and not made for the latest pre-tech version.

is not compatible with my patch. It hasn't been updated in a while and all the changes that patch offers is also included in my patch.

Relation Tweaker Mod is not compatible with my patch. However, I recommend using this one instead if you want to customize the relationship between characters. This patch allows step relations or mixed step/incest relations. It works with the new tech update only.

Relation Tweaker Lewd+ is standalone and should work with any incest patch/mod. It works with the new tech update only.

This patch is inspired and modified from the previous uploads that came before it. Special thanks to Scarlet Ashbringer, Sothyr and Xaverion for their previous work on a patch. And to raschi for helping me with some questions on how to develop this patch!

Can I use this one I-patch on the WIP 5595 version? Or is there an ETA on when it might be ready? Thanks for all the work, by the way.

It should work but the added scenes won't have the correct dialogue. I'll be updating it soon. No ETA yet.

Yes and no. He redrew the characters standing, but it's the only assets. Look in the game's art folder after extracting the renpy's art file, you'll see the old art that remains to be redrawn. The teachers are all there.

It really pisses me off that he's messing around with his 3 programmers instead of using the money to bring the game back to where it was before the tech update and complains in the stream about how everyone keeps asking where the new stuff is

At this point, Devs, that stream should be a red flag. For some "unknown" reason, they take +10 years to finish a product. Just look at Heartbound, for example. It has been 9 years without the new chapters launching.

Hey guys, where are we currently on the roadmap image that was started on the 21.0.0? I remember that thing about an update each 2-3 months but hasn't it been more than a year since?

 

[ToastieJoey]

see you all in 10 years when this game is finally done

 

[halluva]

Someone has tracked all the points over the years and posted graphs in the past.

I think you're talking about me, and the asymptotic graph looks just as disheartening as ever.

 

[sup3rbreakout]

see you all in 10 years when this game is finally done

I don't think the Tech Update will even have caught up to the original version by then.
New Content is never happening.

 

[loikl]

see you all in 10 years when this game is finally done

Well, if we take into account that the game itself is almost 10 years old (it was born in approximately 2016)... your statement would not be very far off.

 

[PrinceCydon]

I suppose I'll check on this again in 2029, seems like maybe then we'll be caught up

Nah, that's when they'll start the new rework to fix the typo they made in the 2027 update.

 

[jokesaside1]

So one of the greatest games ever fuck it all up with a remake? sad af

 

[BorsDeGanis]

The best part is how every single change/update to the Debbie route is painstakingly separated into a series of like, 10 different entries. Same for other stuff like fixed to save system, etc. Talk about a blatant "padding my resume" vibe.

You shouldn't attribute to maliciousness that which can easily be attributed to incompetence. People make mistakes a lot, especially in this space. The dev severely underestimated the amount of time this would take and is now in the midst of a sunken cost spillover.

 

[ANDRYNASTACY]

Good business, unfortunately many are imitating that business model in which you make a good base game and give the minimum updates to maintain interest while they donate to you monthly.

This thread probably will get mass wiped. I myself was super angry and now I know why this thing got Star Citizened.
They currently have a manpower of 10 peeps and decided to update the engine and you know the rest of the story.
1 Artist who is hand drawing the pictures etc. 1 Story and dialogue person, 4 people for posing, 1 Music and SFX Artist, 1 person for website and Disccord, 1 wife of the CEO, 1 coder. Splendid idea and timing for a engine upgrade/update with 1. This thing will never get finished.
