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

[hotte]

Yes, Dark Cookie did go back in manually and change every single one of the non-layered images - so the background images, custom sex scene images, other images - from 4:3 to 16:9. You could have gone and watched him draw along the two edges to add more artwork to each and every one during his many streams on Picarto. He didn't simply crop the old images, he added more art to fill out the display ratio (and updated some of the scenes, in the process).

As for the rest, I know what you are saying. I also know that Dark Cookie didn't want to do it that way. if he did, he would have done it that way.

The stable version is still out there and can be downloaded for people to play for free - directly from the official website.

It will be there until the preview version that is being updated is brought up to snuff with the content from the stable version (whenever or if ever it is). Again, can be downloaded for people to play for free - directly from the official website.

Instead of drawing art, writing code, and posing the layers for two different versions at the same time, thus doubling their work effort in doing so --- Dark Cookie chose to freeze the previous version as the "stable" version while they do whatever it is they do on the tech update.

People can play the one they choose (or both, if they so choose).

That's the point. If he does it manually, kudos to him. I am no artist and don't know how to draw or use Photoshop etc. But there is a reason why big publishers are Remastering their game. Game was good, let's polish it up and re-release it.

For me, it is still mismanagement. Previous version took 8 years to come to this point and I don't think that they magically speed up their work and finish the poolished version in 3 years.

I don't want to rant and I actually don't care. The thing that got me was the decision to abandon the old version without having nearly 10% of the previous build.

any save?

I think all of us agree with you. Especially Dark Cookie and his team

any save?

For what? See this:

​

You don't have to play it all over again. First of all, not all the old content has migrated over to the preview of the tech update: Jenny content, some Debbie, some teachers, and a few other quick scenes. That's it.​

​

Also, just like the old version - you can simply unlock the cookie jar CG gallery by clicking on the wi-fi symbol on the in-game cell phone enough times until it allows you into the menu to toggle the cookie jar on/off. No save required.​

New version is now available for the general public to download for free, direct from the developer (about 7 hours early and 2 iterations newer):

You must be registered to see the links

If this game has been in development for 9 years (since 2016) there's a chance that GTA 6 will come first and possibly a few years after GTA 6... this game might be finished by then.. or not!

For those who care (and for those who don't) - My FAQ is updated: #80,548

 

[Dookieprincess]

so am I to understand that this update took away like 80% of the game?

 

[Ataman87]

so am I to understand that this update took away like 80% of the game?

Yep and it will take years (if at all) until they reach the old level of content. Let alone actually adding something new.

 

[Kitty Gamer]

Nice! Another (really fast /s) update and my goodness, these devs are cheeky for sure. This little bit of coding after two fraking months? LOL

Guess some programmer was a naughty one, didn't work all December and was the week after Sylvester still to `drunk as a skunk` for work. With this speed they still tech-uping this thing when Musky and Rumpy land on Mars and claim the planet for "Amerigo first" land.

Well, looks like they know what they are doing <$>, as it still works for them. Obviously.
Cheerio and nice day folks

 

[RandyPhoenix]

At this point even reaching the old content gonna take years... BRUH...

 

[Old Man From Scene 24]

I've never seen a dev torpedo their own game so hard

 

[Odin Eye Patch]

Yup

There's a long way to go.

Expanded Debbie's route with 1 original, 3 reworked, and 6 upgraded quests.
Love how he makes it look like he did a lot there

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.

 

[jokuur]

sigh... hey DEV how about instead of halting your project ending it and starting another one? you would get much more respect that way from people
