Ren'Py Summertime Saga [v21.0.0 wip.6440] [Kompas Productions]

[mattius77]

I don't think it could be more clear: Donations get you access to certain perks, and that's it. There's no promise of delivery, you're not funding a development pipeline, nothing. Kickstarter? Yes. Patreon? No.

I've never donated to a creator on Patreon, but I've never thought of the platform as funding a budget or anything like that. It's more just "Oh, you make good stuff. Here are a few dollars for your toil, much appreciated." I wouldn't expect anything in return. Just the opposite - I'd only consider donating after I saw the goods, as it were.

The traceback says you have "patch_tech_update.rpy" as the patch, not the patch from 20.12 found here.

If you are playing v0.20.16, using the naughty mod for v0.20.16 and the patch labeled v0.20.12 - then,

Remove both the mod and the patch and try the ATM again. If it crashes, I recommend going to the developer's discord and asking in their help channel (if there is one).

If it doesn't crash, first add back the patch and try the ATM again. If it crashes, don't use the patch anymore.

Then add back in the mod and try the ATM again. If it crashes, go into the thread for the naughty mod and seek help from the mod's developer.

If it doesn't crash, hey, keep playing.

thanks! deleted that rpyc file and the atm works now without any crashes

This is the most likely scenario of what will happen.

you haven't mentioned DC redrawing the whole thing while being halfway finished on the progress

If you like big tits, wincest, and pregnancy, this game still knocks it out of the park. If you like futa, there's just one character who's really just a dick girl if you want her to be. That's about it for the fetishes. The "monster" girls aren't that unusual, but they are attractive.

I mean it's still common sense that you're funding the creator's creations with your donations in one way or another. The Patreon pledge goals pretty much confirm that your pledge isn't a mere donation but a means of production. And the tier benefits you get are often geared towards future content.

You're not gonna tell me that the majority of people don't donate to support continued development of the game and would be completely fine if DC randomly announced the end of development.

I agree that a lot of people here misconstrue how Patreon works and end up saying completely wrong and ignorant things to criticize the game's development. But at the same time I never subscribed to the idea that DC's business being on Patreon makes him exempt from all criticism because it runs on donations so no-one is allowed to have any expectations or standards.

Neither have I, my thrust has been that people do need to keep in perspective the process of pledges when considering the structure and context of the criticism.

No, but that is the risk THEY are taking and theirs, alone. It is not ours to take on in our criticism of the work. And if a patron decides their pledge enables their need to say something, that is what their subscribers channel on the discord and patreon is for -- their pledge-supported benefit empowers them with direct access to the eyes and ears of the dev team. Here, DC has rarely communicated and this is not his platform for communication and on here no one truly knows if the person criticizing is doing so from their patron-position.

I know I'm preaching to the choir (meaning itsyeboii) on the following, but the millions on this site and the tens of millions across other sites get what we pay for (a free game that everyone has access to directly from the developer) and our criticism should be understood in that way (by us and from us).

[Count Morado]

how do i use the gallery unlocker ? View attachment 4117269

You don't. Never use the gallery unlocker. One is already included in the game when you click through the wifi symbol on the in-game cell phone.

You know as well as everyone else here that the complaints happen here because they know DC doesn't really look up this place and they actually lack the balls to do something directly by appealing to the patrons. Almost as if they are afraid the support would be cut and the game truly abandoned.

Funny that.

Load of bullshit. I would be more than happy if his patreon account got banned, and this game went up in smoke. As far as I am concerned this dev is a scammer, liar and thief. More respect to him, he found suckers who donate and made millions. But truth be told the entire model of Patreon leads to devs doing jack shit for weeks on end, and morons giving them money for doing jack shit for weeks on end.

Does not change the fact that the guy was paid (extremely well) for a product he failed to deliver. Fuck him.

kind of weird but eh, it's good to see dc cook because it reminds me of star citizen but for porn, with the cultists and everything

we have a saying here: "too much hatred turns into obsessive love".

what do you mean? re-redrawn art and a update to ren'py is content, right?
