Ren'Py Summertime Saga [v21.0.0 wip.6011] [Kompas Productions]

[j4yj4m]

actually, i like the beginning of the game, the pacing was perfect. Now it's just drawn out gibberish. I guess you're saying people like to sit, for literally hours, reading boring dialogue? You think that makes for an interesting game? Do you also enjoy watching paint dry?

Nah, I pretty much disagree. In the beginning the quests were just bad and all you did in for example Jenny's or Erik's story was to earn money via the same minigame to either hand it to them or buy stuff which you then handed to them. It was a simple and pretty "boring" design - but sure, you got the scenes faster.

And yes, I like light dialogs at times and given that the game got even more popular since he started to have these, I'm certainly not alone. It's sad, that it's not for you, but that's just the way DC decided the game should be.

yeah, it's really sad it's not for me it's just so sad, lol. Give me a break pal.

and there's dialogue in a game for the purpose of story, and then there's this. This feels like a slog, it feels like work. That's what originally set this game apart: the pacing. The pacing was right on point so you could enjoy the game, there was just the right balance of dialog and grind and reward to keep you going.

Now? Holy shit. I mean I'll read a lot if the content is interesting. But this shit?

Well, it's your opinion, just as mine is mine. Sure, the writing is a compromise as it is in any game, but if you think that SS has shitty writing, you probably won't like the majority of games here, either. Which is fine, of course...

Edit:

already have pregnant debbie poses?

Yes, a very long time ago, actually but it'll probably take another two to three years or so until she actually gets it in the game.

no, i dont, most of them are garbage because of the grind and bad writing.

Writing in a game should have a purpose, it should move a story or lead to action. Not a lot of small talk that does nothing to further a story. I've started many games and quit them after 10-15 minutes as I just don't have time to wander around aimlessly in a point and click game. What is the point exactly of boring your players to death and wasting their valuable time?

you know what a lot of the dialogue in this game feels like padding to extend playtime. I can't find a reason other than that.

DC makes most girls preg during the streams. He has some (like R[h]onda's and Annie's notmoms) that are years down the line until they get in the game. You won't see them unless you stalk the streams or check the leakers, or wait 3-4 years for them to be in the game proper

The average dev will cater to the average player and in that case you simply seem to tolerate way less than the average. Simple as that. Nothing one can do about it.

- I dislike this

-Huh, I actually like it

-Yeah but i DISLIKE it

There's this thing called a VN if you want story-rich games. And there's this secret thing called "skip text" in Summertime. Most of what you write devolves into : the game isn't for me but I'ma spend hours in here telling people how much I hate the game for not cattering to my very precise needs. Dude, we get the game isn't for you, move on with your life and go find something you enjoy more, the game won't change overnight for you

i think i'll keep playing it actually but thanks so much for your advice. I'm sorry you took my criticism personally. Sad.

 

[Omnikuken]

You'll keep playing it just to hate it even more and come in here to tell us about it ? Great

 

[luffylord]

Raffle winners picked Jennifer Lopez, Selena Gomez and some asian actress as minor character

 

[Omnikuken]

Thicc ass latina, loli latina and flatboard random asian girl. Men of culture all around

yes, I wanted to share my critique. Where else would I share it? You guys/gals are way too sensitive.

you do realize someone can like something but also have a critique or two about it, right?

 

[Omnikuken]

There's some really new places like Patreon and Discord where nobody ever heard of the game, you might wanna try those

Also, telling us over and over the game blows cause you don't like the dialogues/pacing isn't a critique, it's just an opinion. You never mentionned anything to counter what you don't like or come up with better alternatives/games to prove Summertime is pure garbage. Until you do that, you're just whining about how the game doesn't care enough about you to bent over backwards and do everything you wetdream about

 

[Deleted member 1952336]

Is it possible to have a relationship with the woman cop? <3

I hope Lily get's a route also.

 

[Omnikuken]

^ Nope, she might be in the tech update (doubtful) or jumbled somewhere random (like Erik's remake)

 

[rivers77]

Tastes are different. I enjoyed it. The drinking game on the roof was quite funny. I also liked the triangle relationship between Grace, Odette and Eve. But it had it's lengths as well, I admit.

The Eve update is easily my least favorite update. The art is fantastic, as always. I guess I just didn't love the story direction for it or maybe the writing. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it just didn't do it for me. It also didn't help that Grace is hands down my favorite of the 3 and you can't choose her for yourself.

You know who the asian actress is?

 

[Omnikuken]

Between whenever DC whims it and we dunno. Might be tech update or in 0.24 in 3 years. Took him about 2 years for the shop girls raffle/chat dudes being in-game
