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

Seriously why do people claim you have to play the whole game anew? Play the quest you want to play and ignore the rest.

Because the game's paths are interconnected in many ways. For example, playing the Helen/Mia story requires that you complete nearly all of the Erik/Mrs Johnson path. Playing the Roxxy path requires you to complete a good portion of the Miss Bissette path. Even if you just want to play the new stuff, you're still obligated to re-play much of the pre-existing content.

Now, the game is good enough that I don't mind a whole lot.......... but at ver .16, we are rapidly running out of space where that's an acceptable use of my time. You get to the point where people get discouraged and end financial support, and perhaps skip one or two updates.

Playing the Roxxy path requires you to complete a good portion of the Miss Bissette path.

It doesn't though. You don't even have to start Bisette as far as I'm aware. As far as I remember it (and as the walkthrough says as well) all you need for Roxxy are Jenny's panties to get some Dex and that's only because her story isn't reworked yet. Nothing else is needed.

I'd agree that may change later once the game is done but right now there's really no connection.

Edit: They actually "improved" quit a bit on that. Unlike for example in Aqua's update where you had to play several stories to unlock for example "the pier" via mom's story it now unlocks in Roxxy's story when you need it.

Have you been in the boy's lockerroom again to talk to them? After that you should be able to go to the beach and spin the bottle again. Maybe wait a little or search for some more options.

Haven't seen them in the locker room at all on any day after the fight and night with roxxy

I agree there are quests wich are interconnected heavily, but people are bitching about the roxxy update like it got worse. I think DC is easing down on the interconnected quests because people tell him to. Wich you saw last update.

Why are people complaining so hard about save compatibility and bugs that get fixed in days (wich I havent seen any of, just saying) while there are devs out there abandoning games or milking the fuck out of their pledgers. The only thing I can agree on is the long gaps between updates, but you also have to aknowledge that he delivers good story and content.

He has some good points. U can't use some good things to cover up for many bad things.

^This. You don't need to do any of the other content from my experience.

It'd be nice if some of the stuff matched up though like the Erik quest where you get worked over.

Pizza deliver bug. Mini-game didnt end

If that happens to you again, try clicking repeatedly on the pizzas at the bottom of the screen. Should let you out after a few clicks.

Hey Icp, i am writing our posts again, so you can read it again:

whereislotion sez > ''1003 pages while it is still in v.0.16.1 beta? 0_0 I guess we will see 2000''
icp sez > ''you just got a huge update on top of one of the biggest and best games of the genre and still want to complain about ..version numbers? wow. I have a solution: change the folder name to 16.1 and be happy.^^''

As you can see it is not complaining about its version number or anything else about the game itself. Just a big 'wow' about the amount of posts. Please don't poke people about what they say without reading their posts carefully. (Yeah, i just complained about your....whatever Darth Vader is saying in these kinda situations)

Smile, it is just a suggestion.

God damn it. Eve out of nowhere. What is wrong with people. Poor Judith

To just play the Roxxy stuff, if you're not cheating, you have to:

- Increase CHR by doing rap battle mini-games to get past the locker room shower scene where Becca and Missy are blocking you;
- Increase STR to succeed in beating Dexter in the second fight, which means progressing Erik's path to the point that he's taking over cafeteria duty and Kevin is freed up to train you;
- Increase DEX through Master Somrak training, which means progressing Sister path through at least two rounds of buying panties off of her after trading sex toys;
- You have to do at least one of the homework assignments for Miss Bissette (I think it's only after the second one that you get the prompt to tutor Roxxy, but that just might have been how it was in my playthrough)

i'm really sad that there is no love for ronda! but 10% for mia is cool, i bet all the eve voters vote for mia next time

 

[carbonatedman]

I certainly hope so. She's a pretty awesome character already, and design-wise her and her sister are a couple of the best looking/drawn characters in the game (imo).

 

[kimjongew]

God damn it. Eve out of nowhere. What is wrong with people. Poor Judith

She's too hefty for me personally. I just can't.

 

[kimjongew]

She had already won before. She was supposed to be the .17 content, but was postponed.

"OLD SAVES DON'T WORK, START A NEW GAME
You can start playing the new content immediately from a new game"
This is about the previous version (0.16, I think) that don't work with old saves or now all new versions will not work with old saves? Ever restart new game in all new versions is completely non sense.

I'm still sure the homework isn't needed, but it doesn't matter that much anyway.
Else I'd still not call any of that actually progressing paths. It takes a minute to buy the game for Eric, talk to Kevin and another 2 minutes to max. STR afterwards. The same goes for the rap battles, talk to eve and go to the park a couple of times. For Jenny you just have to look in her dresser, take the panties, talk to somrak, train two times, cuddle and talk with her, buy the toy, get the 2nd pair of panties, train again and you are done. You can even do it besides advancing Roxxy's path which means you lose even less time. Given of course you are using the cheatmode where you can skip minigames if you want - which I'm sure everybody does who plays the game for the 3rd or 4th time.

Yes, those 10 to 15 minutes total maybe be wasted but it's really not that bad.

Are there any patreons that knows what DC has posted about "Indepth development overview"?

@Bloo @Ryahn @Sam @wep

I have a program called Riva tunner that helps with the fps of the game by turning it down to 30 fps which helps with the strengths mini game.
Can I link it here and get it posted in the first post.
One of the mods at SS discord told my about it 8-9 months ago, the newer version don't seem to work but this older one does.
It must be turned off for the Pizza mini game but it also helps with the garden bug mini game.
