Ren'Py Summertime Saga [v21.0.0 wip.6155] [Kompas Productions]

[Omnikuken]

Not trying to be a dick pointing this out, just legitimately curious at this point? What year did the tech update start? Like I can't even remember anymore if was it 2020. 2019? 2018?! I don't think it was that far back, and there have been pretty regular content releases during the update, but I'm honestly not sure when it started anymore...

March 31st, 2021. Just go check either the FAQ with all the release dates or the main page/wiki

Hilarious how they doubled the amount of total tasks during that time too, good thing people can actually do basic math

Serious question. Does anyone truly believe that the code refactoring involved in the tech update will actually improve the speed of updates, as was suggested at the outset? I'm sure the intention was to reshape the codebase into something more sleek and easy-to-debug so that the production of new quests could be smoother and quicker to test, but if we're being honest surely we all expect it to be equally cumbersome to dev for, just in different ways?

Teoretically speaking it should help. As some of the optimized code could be repurposed for other characters.

It certainly seems like it'll make working with these art assests more convenient and intuitive. Then again, I'd still think that the overal savings in time will be minor. Once we return to normal updates, everything more or less depends on how fast DC can deliver the art assets and the really big, time consuming items (scenes, cut scenes, backgrounds etc.) won't be affacted by the tech stuff at all.
All in all I don't think it's going to lead to actually significant improvements in terms of update speed.

Wait until they start bugfixing!
That aside the number of tasks doubled and you got multiple pre-tech updates during that time

If only they could hire a.... Freelancer... to help finish this!

Man, I loved that game. Anything with John Rys Davies is great though. Cant think of anything he's done that was lacking... I even like when he tells you how to wear a seatbelt on the disneyland indiana jones ride.

ok, carry on with your on-topic discussions.

There's no place where any1 on the dev team stated it would go faster. Less of a mess, yes. No need to unfuck the code every build, yes. Might help with outputting test builds for bugfixing, yes. Not "Dc can now draw an entire update within a day and the coder just imports the un-posed assets and the game will output content on its own" .....

Doesn't necessarily mean much if anything. E.g. it's not that uncommon to take what was originally a single task and split it into sub-tasks entered separately for easier tracking and maintenance, but it doesn't affect actual amount of work that needs to be done.

But yes, people who can't do anything beyond basic math might get impressed.

 

[CoolHandChewie]

Why is the coder only part-time?

exactly he makes enough in one month to pay for a full time code money for a year....

They also almost 3x the amount of done tasks, which means they actually did something, on top of splitting the to-do list just to pad the tracker

Well, yes. They've advanced completion from 58% to 80%, i don't think anyone is disputing that. At this rate they might hit 100% in another 1.5 years.

The tech update and it's consequences has been a disaster for the human race.

 

[owlking]

they add a lot of tasks also finished lot of task, that's why the progression seems to be slow, if you only read % then you probably will whine like a baby lol

Entire human race or this particular thread ?

With the doubling of tasks, I expect we are seeing the bugfixes.

What kind of backwards logic is this? Just because there's an explanation for why progress is slow doesn't mean progress isn't, in fact, slow. It's been 2 years lol
