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

[papahenji]

it's almost 10 years.... and this game hasn't complete yet? talk about milking patrons money....
i stopped my support around 2019 during covid, and glad i did

24k dollar per month (last time i checked on 2019), and the dev didn't even hire more staffs. sounds like a bust for me.
9 years just take too long.

He coulda hired people to animate the whole thing or make a sequel.

Lol someone on the discord said they're donating well over 100$/month and don't even bother/care about playing the game or where it's going.

 

[papahenji]

either he's an insider... or he's a son of one of the oil kings.
100$ is ain't cheap (at least for me).

i didn't even touch the reboot version, i already gave up on this... i was supporting the devs in hope he would even hire a VA.
sadly my voice didn't get through. i wonder how long till people realized they're being rob.
it's kinda unrealistic to spent over 200$ for an uncomplete game, could be more if they still supporting the guy.

I wish I could earn that amount of money every month and do nothing. With that amount, in my country's currency, I could pay 3 or 4 household bills.

how much do you think are production costs? you gotta run some 4090 rigs almost full time to render that.

 

[Mirakooo]

This is what honestly got me into porn games great art and amazing gameplay nothing more than that

 

[txe320]

art? you mean AI slop

AI weren't even a thing back when he discovered the game...

And at what point did I say that producing a game doesn't take money or time? I said it would be nice to make money without doing anything, all because in the comment I replied to, he said he saw someone say on discord that they donate money without caring about what direction the game will take, and honestly, it's been almost 10 years of game development, friend, in the meantime you could have hired help, he could have increased productivity, but now, not only do the updates take longer and longer, but on top of that the game has been rebooted, so no, I doubt the developer of this game is working very hard.

-Status report ?
--there seem to be a business man popping up in this thread, sir.
-that's nothing new. Anything else?
--an AI fanart of the game also popped up.
-shameful. For both the "artworks" and the uploader.
--that's all we have, sir.

More from the Devs? They (He) hasnt produced a finished product yet, and development of Summertime Saga began in 2016.

Sadly, since the Dev changed to the new format; it isn't really worth it (IMHO) to play anymore. The original was more complete, and more fun and backwards compatible than what we have now. Almost every "Tech Update" borks any saves you have, so you have to basically start all over again. Don't get me wrong I loved the game as it was developing in the distant past, but I've been a gamer since PONG came out, and while I have and will support new and indie Devs, and prefer to pay full price to support them; I wouldn't support this game even at a buck a month anymore. Even if he only started a Patreon in 2020, you would have paid 53USD as of this post for, what is it, two routes? Most VN's at present cost around 30 to 40USD for a completed, voiced, Live2D, multi-route eroge. This game is a "classic" in the same way as the Corvair is a classic car... but the Corvair had a finished product at least. I will gladly pay the going rate for Summertime Saga if it ever gets completed, but I've seen too many games that went strong for a long time to suddenly become little more than vaporware in my 50 years as a gamer. /rantoff Sorry.
