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

[j4yj4m]

Are we going to be able to just swap out some diologue to restore the incest like Milfy city or is this going to be written to avoid that?

There certainly won't be a mechanism to aviod bringing back the incest via the fan made patch. Quite on the contrary DC still says that he wants it back as soon as possible. Of course nobody knows how excatly the story will be written but given that incest will be back at some point I'm pretty confident that it'll be workable to bring it back before that without major rewrites, though some passages may feel off a bit (especially when it comes to pregnancy, etc.). At least that what I'd expect until we get something official from DC in the end.

Oh god no... I can feel it. The hype, the hype is rising to unhealthy levels!

Glad to hear it though. Now I'm hoping my hopes not to fall flat. x'D

try to maintain the hype low at least untill the "soon"arrives,otherwise things could get dangerous....

I just looked back through

to see and he did indeed mention it around the ~20th to 25th of July, likely when he was still thinking about the tasks for 0.17 (he posted Diane's 0.17 flowchart on the 19th). So I guess there's at least a good chance that he'll stick to those words.

Still though it's only at 51%

Doesn't that mean that it's going to be 4 fucking months for this update?

The tasks don't always scale so some are done faster than others and we don't really know how far they are with those tasks, that are being worked on right now. DC confirmed a few days ago that he feels he's a bit behind schedule and that he'd liked to release it on halloween, which would equal roughly 3 months. But of course it's true that delays are always possible.

I only wish for compatibility between versions for the save files. Otherwise, there's no point on playing anything time and again, even with cheats.

Other than being fun, there is no real need to replay every part every time. Especially now that we have the gallery. The 0.16.1 version broke my saves from 0.16.0, and I haven't bothered to go back and redo it, just look at the gallery if I want to see something again.

But, the last big peg preventing it is the Mrs. Johnson update, and odds are good they will vote for it soon.

Maybe you are not old enough?
But seriously, that depends on what you did wrong... We need more details before we can help, what did you do so far?

Lol

I think the same as well. Hope the feature gets real soon so we can keep playing over the same slot.

DC wrote ("0.16 Status update!"):

Some of you may have known that 1 of our older hscene animation (Debbie on the laundry machine) was reworked and improved by an animator named AEHentai a while back. We were able to get him to animate the scenes for 0.16 this time around, which means I can focus on just making the art for them (higher quality), and then send him the assets to animate (at high frame rate)! This will save me some time so we can make the updates better, bigger and faster.

I dig the higher framerate for the new animations (crystal, roxxy & friends...) but honestly the base image's quality is not of higher quality, but lower. You can feel the drawing lines, they are very thick and often unrefined, this distracts from the scene. All in all, good job, but I prefer 3-frames animations with refined graphics to 10-frames animations with crude graphics.

The graphics are all right. At most we can argue that the "quality" depends on the personal view of every individual, as we are talking about art right here. But I think it is objectively better than before, the shading is better, the anatomy is better, the style is refined, cohesion is better. Even if there was no animation, I still prefer the new art without any doubt.

Probably the most subjective atribute is precisely the line thickness, so I guess it's only natural you feel that way. I like it very much though, it gives this extra cartoonish look that goes so well with the tone and atmosphere of the game.

Do you think so? For instance in these, on the left 2 low-frame old-style anims, on the right 2 high-frame new-style anims:

at the right Roxxy's eyes are two fat strokes, MC's hands look rushed, the overall body shape is simpler, and again the thick lines break my immersion. To me it looks like the drawing was simplified (instead of the announced higher quality), in order to ease the animation job.
Maybe these particular scenes were rushed though, the new-style laundry animation looks good to me.
I'm not sure what old-style graphics you're referring to about shading or anatomy issues, those two above left look good to me, are you mentioning some even earlier version?

 

[Beatrix Kiddo]

I was referring to all art in general, like the comparison between old drawings and the new ones we have seen recently here (old Judith vs new Judith for example, where you can see all the changes mentioned, including the thicker lines).

Those scenes do all look good, perhaps the newer ones may look a bit rushed to some although all look nice to me (in fact, the one that looks best to me is the Roxxy one, yet the one that looks worst is the Missy one, lol). In any case, the quality is still up there, and as you said now we got really nice and soft animations that honestly I never imagined we would have.

 

[Snugglepuff]

at the right Roxxy's eyes are two fat strokes

Looks more like her eyes are either closed, or near closed, and those strokes you're referencing look more like eye lashes with heavy mascara appliance.
Basically, too much make up.

As for the lines breaking your immersion, different strokes for different folks...
That's purely your own issue with the game's aesthetic, not an issue of the game itself.

Kind of off-topic but I am sure you have the answers. You always do.
1. Wasn't succubus confirmed in the halloween update?
2. Any info if we will get to bang the indian doctor in the Aunt update?
