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

Do you think the Anthony and Joe Russo could have sat down and started working on the animation work once they were done the principal photography of Avengers: Infinity War? No, because you typically have specialization of labour on large projects.



It's not absolutely refuses when he has had other artists audition to work with him.

It's almost like he should use some of that money he makes to hire more people or something.

Notice how he conveniently didn't hire any to help him speed things along. The internet is crawling with talent. A few hundred million people have access and he can't find one. If you believe that I have a bridge in Brooklyn you can get for a great price.

This is an outright lie he has hired coder, writer, and poser. You this because Dogeek posted on the forum.

Hey, it's almost like you've ignored his comments about the situation over and over. He tried out at least one person for art, it didn't work out. And he hired multiple other people to help on the project.

Please go troll elsewhere, you really add nothing to this thread.

Well, not really, the "secret" 17.5 update was released shortly before christmas and they took the holidays off. So apart from some minor work in november/december they started in the first week of january. That means we are basically 60-something days in.

Mh, that's not totally true either. Actually DC started drawning for this update even before the 0.17 was released.

Well, yes, he started drawing on stream but that's just a small part of his time. In the end we don't know how much time he spend on 0.18 off stream. I mean, he could hardly say that he's drawing for a seceret update, but I still remember that people complained how slow the dev tracker moved before christmas.

There's plenty of failed Kickstarter, Patreon, and other games out there. I followed a neat little Flash game that looked promising and that blew up. Same with another farming game that had issues before it. As it stands, we're seeing the process where games were made in the dark for 3 years with funding from a large publisher to do so. We don't have those type of games.

So DC has a new dynamic which you don't see anywhere else except in the adult gaming and indie scene. So I acknowledge that projects end in failure and abandonment.

How much has he finished? I'd say 40%? Not even? So it's going to be a while. It just feels longer because production still takes a while.

I really haven't seen DC "defend" himself from this. It's been his experience, nothing more or less. What butters my biscuits is that people use that to just run him in the ground with the same commentary over and over again about how he's in this for the money or whatever which just sounds and looks ridiculous to me.

To be fair, it all boils down to money anyways - people who don't do certain pieces of work are either filthy rich to begin with or insane.

I doubt it's his ulterior motive to milk the game, but on the other hand it earns the bread.

Though I do think that DC is rather relaxed in that regard. His plan was to freelance and to start creating something on his own besides that. SS was his attempt to teach himself coding a little. He basically drew Roxxy, started coding around, some liked it, he added MC and that's how everything came to pass.

He said a while ago that he'd always be working on games and if the money won't be enough to get by, he'd start freelancing again working on the game in his freetime.

So yes, money is essential, but I can't see DC shifting his way just because he doesn't earn as much as he did before.

Annyone know what kind of gender the babies are????

Is 2019, so... is genderless!

I like the new character updates, some are fairly subtle, some are IMHO total makeovers. Eve is my Favorite, her face and body are Much cuter/sexy. Martinez is the 2nd biggest makeover (perhaps Lopez too). Cassies's body looks Great... MUCH more life a Lifeguard's body with big tits. Speaking of Big B00Bs, are Debbie's tits even Bigger? Nice!

PS: Everyone whining about the time frame for releases... give it a rest. There are AT LEAST 200 pages of complaining about release delays... Go read those before posting new whines. I believe it was V0.15 release that the Moderators actually closed the thread to posts because of all the spam.

I'm pretty sure Darkcookie has upfront billing (charged immediately) for donating on Patroen, so donate after a new release, then cancel immediately so you aren't billed for months and months between releases... Just a thought.

Hi,
It felt Roxy update was rushed, and also graphics suffered because of that, last Diane update lacked content, then I stopped my patronage and i tried to find different games. For me Milfy City is something i wait for. I am not so eager for Summertime Saga anymore.

Yours might be the first time I've seen someone say the Roxxy update wasn't great. For sure I feel this game won't have much for you if you don't like that update.

Edit: first* time

Look, there's always Blackjack and hookers...

Just because DC got cake too doesn't mean anything. Gawrsh!!!

Yikes, I usually like the newer art but this is just badly put together.

Head is too big and her torso is a tad bit too short. I'd also say her breasts hang a bit low but maybe that's just because the torso is too small. This needs to be redone. Reminds me a bit of the kitchen scene with mom landlady.

All these people defending dark cookie because he's the only one drawing. ok, so a 1 and a half hour stream every 2nd day with weekends off and 2 weeks out of every 4 for sickness, and christmas. no no. he's doing his very best. anyone can see that with the pace that this is getting done.

The orignial Diane update had the most content with all the sex scenes unlocked at the end and I guarantee this will be another poor update, with "I needed to retrace 90% of everything for reasons" and my kids were sick.

6 people on the books playing tiddlywinks while he draws for 1 and half hours a day every 2nd day and the wife on the books as HR for tax reasons.

with the movement of 10% in an month, it's all a little bs actually.

If you look at all the "offline content" that was in previous versions, you can quite easily see how much actual work he does.

I'd love to earn 600k a year for 3 x 1 and a half hour days a week and more power to him.

I saw on the news page that there was a new wallpaper up six days ago. I didn't see it on this forum yet. Does anyone have it for sharing? Or didn't I check the forum good enough?

Admittedly, it's hard to find since this thread is always full of lively conversation about the game's state.

Thanks a bunch. I should have been able to find this though, since you marked it quite clearly. My bad, and thanks again!
