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

[Ghost2894]

Okay, this I gotta know. What's a 'larger studio' that actually gets by with 1.2 million a year?

A small indie where someone is actually in charge and makes people work on shit. All that to say, for what he's making DC shouldve hired some helping hands to get the project moving a little faster. I know the grift is that he keeps making money as long as its never done, but he couldve been in a situation where all these whales are more than happy to keep funding his next projects. Could've made a lot of games like this, and some of them couldve been even better.

Hello
Incest patch work on [v21.0.0 wip.5605] please ?

 

[BoyHowdy981]

I appreciate your tireless efforts keeping this thread somewhat sane Count Morado, as I have very little tolerance for people endlessly complaining myself.

Do I wish the tech update be done faster?
Sure.

Could the tech update be done faster?
I'm not so sure.

The tech update has been a monumental task for the team, and it was completely necessary.

The original game was barely held together by a patchwork of spaghetti code from different coders and experience.

Hell, I started working on my mod for the 0.20.16 version, and just clicking through the dialogue would slow/lag if I wasn't extremely careful with my programming. Just poorly optimized, with very little overhead.

The tech update however, is just on another level.
Most of the released work till now is under the hood stuff, that sadly goes unappreciated.
It's definitely not just swapping to 16x9 backgrounds with the devs mostly sitting on their asses.

I love this game.
I want it to succeed.
I want the devs to succeed.

It will take some time, but new content will come.

In the mean time I will play other games, watch a movie/show, spend time with friends and family, and create content for my mod/this game.

I just won't waste my time complaining.

count morado doesnt spend time with other games, watch a movie/show, spend time with friends and family.... he spends 24/7 on this site. he is king of jerk off town. just look at his posts log. he is on here all day long. posting over 500 times a month.

Little of what you have said is the truth. Yup, he's been at it since before 2016, earning money on Patreon since 2016.

DC and his team have made a fuckton of bank - but you can simply use the truth rather than falsehoods and hyperbole. The amount of money is a drop in the buck what larger studios make. That's a ridiculous claim. He and the team have never brought in more than $100,000 per month - data easily shown below:
View attachment 4512983
Their best month (up until recently?) was just above $80,000 for a month ... Quite ample. Didn't last long - maybe a year in the high $70s?

If their subscriber average $$ remained about the same as the year or so prior to their earnings no longer being public, you're still looking at around $70k to $85k per month for the last couple of months.

Again, big money. Huge money. You don't need to pump it up - just tell the truth.

God, don't we all wish we could do what we love for a living, make fuckton bank, and not have a boss breathing down our necks? Guy figured it out, didn't he? Even though he sucks at project management - he hit paydirt with what he loves doing at just the right time, didn't he?

I wish the same for all of us, instead of being cynical about it.

I hope that if we can all do what we want that we can actually fucking deliver on what we do instead of whatever the fuck this has been. Maybe he does need a boss.

 

[hwastek]

when will this game finally be finished?
It's been 9 years since the first post. And I have the impression that the authors are taking money from naive people and will never finish it, but will endlessly improve, improve and improve it.

In a couple of years if we want the same level of content. The game didn't have more than 10% of content right now.

Also, DC said he never intended to finish it, we want to continually add things.

Looking at Archmage Rises, I would say just having 'someone in charge to make people work' doesn't mean they're gonna be an effective developer lol. And in case of Summertime Saga, I honestly don't know if getting more people involved would make things actually go faster. I'd say he has more than enough posers (funnily enough in this new update they actually have a pretty funny scene posing wise because MC is hopping around while Debbie was facing away from him), more programmers for a Ren'py game is just retarded, so that leaves shit like get more writers?

That comes with its own trappings because not all writers are frankly equal and looking at other games you it generally ends up being a bit of a clusterfuck where one of the writers has to insert his specific fetish (which more often than not seems to be sharing/ntr lol).

And then there's the art, and I think with DC being the main artist you can kiss the notion of more artists goodbye. Maybe AI? I would have to point to the Taffy Tales thread how suddenly using AI can quickly turn people away.

 

[Nytemare]

Look, I've already died and isekai'd twice this game still isn't finished. Face it, you will all be dead before this finishes development because certain people here and elsewhere continue to pay for it. If everyone unsubscribed, he -might- start working again.

 

[Ottoeight]

what i‘m wondering, what was he doing the two or so years before where there was no update at all? just the 16:9 background art?

I think he was jacking it in San Diego just like Stan Marsh in a South Park episode.

From what I see , this game is being completely re-written , I've been playing the older versions for a long time and this one is nothing like the original

 

[Yuk4ri]

Congrats, bro.
When I first played this game I had no girlfriend and no money. Today, I still have neither. Amazing.

Thank you very much bro, everything is possible, if I could do it, you can too.
I don't have much money either lol

Did anyone actually find the nightmare scene attractive? Dev is going on and on about the nightmare scene and it was awful.
The girls turn into clowns and your cock turns into one of those balloon animals.
It was very much a nightmare, zero sexual attraction. The fact so much work went into it, including brand new 3d tech, is just ridiculous.

Not everything put into this game, or others found in this site, is supposed to be "attractive" or sexual. I accessed it through the Cookie Jar, not a playthrough, and found it hilarious. It had a Pennywise/Art the clown kind of tone to it, without going into the horror aspect.

To be fair, it's a nightmare scene and it's mean to be...... a nightmare.

So, you're saying you're not into clussy?

I would let LA Knight answer for me on this one;

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.

Anyone know the console variable for money in the latest tech update version? Turns out the large amount of money they give you at the beginning isn't actually enough to buy everything. I'm at 260 dollars but need 500 dollars to pay Jenny to give cheerleading lessons to Roxy.

player.inventory.money is no longer correct... there is no longer a player object.

Anon starts with $10,000 cash and $9,990,000 in the bank.

Using F95's search function to find the word console in this thread would have given you that answer as the first result:
