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

[randommal3]

Judging by the recent Stream, Debbie's Route seem to be finished(Finally) and DC is now working on Judith's Route.

Not quite finished, but close.

 

[LZFLZ]

Honestly would much prefer if he and his team just imported all the content that was available from the previous game into the new one before working on another character
Cuz otherwise it's never getting finished

Honestly, I can not understand why there's still so many people (about 34k) supporting that dev on Patreon. Not sure how accurate Graphtreon is but they estimate 85K to 229K US$ in earnings - per month.

Looking at the dev page, they consist of a team of about 10 people. 4 of them are listed for 'Posing', I guess preparational art stuff for DarkCookie so he can focus more on Art / Drawing? Judging by the amount of content, I can not imagine those 4 working full-time and if they are, then there must be one hell of a backlog for DC to work on.

Going with the earlier estimate and if each of the 'devs' work full-time, then each would earn about 8.5 to 22.9K US$ a month. But I doubt the money is distributed evenly (personal assumption).

I'd say that's a lot of money and I kinda understand why they milk this project like that. Though, if they focused on actually working and releasing stuff, as in finishing Summertime Saga and developing new games (could even be similar), this project would not get this kind of backlash (rightfully so). It says a lot when the actual content output now is (far) less than when the project started with a smaller team. They claim they are working on an unannounced project on their site, so who knows, maybe that's the reason? (yeah, sure, right)

Error after the clown dream. Can no longer save.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:

Why who'd they risk developing a new IP if they can milk this one till the money dry up ?

I haven't touched the game in a couple of years, is it just me or does the town become a ghost town after the morning hours?

[Ahegao is best]

Who is Dexter?

 

[PayneToTheMax]

Who is Dexter?

A serial killer who hunts serial killers.

Also Roxxy's dumb jock boyfriend with the teeny weeny wiener also has that name.

 

[Madeddy]

A question for someone a bit more "involved" in this game in the last years: How much of the old story/sidestory progress is back in the overhauled or remade game? A got the vibe most of it is still to reimplement.

"crickets"

I don't understand

 

[idkman696969]

Genuinely would rather see a developer ghost their community than enter the “update” cycle for years to scam people.

This game
Summers Gone
etc

I started playing these games four to five years ago and I think I’ve seen one genuine update for this game and a .5 chapter for summers gone.

Should be a new tag for games that enter into never ending update cycles labeled “extended update” so people aren’t deceived when they enjoy the game and support on Patreon without reading comments.

 

[insomniafics13k]

Summertime Saga is a very special game that I’ve been following for years. I truly love its structure and characters. The art style is fantastic — even though some people might not like it, I personally find it amazing.

However, there’s a lot of content that remains incomplete or unused. Locations like the museum, the library, the stadium, several houses, the lighthouse, and the beach house still have little to no content. I’m currently working on the Japanese restaurant in my own project, so I understand the frustration many fans feel — especially regarding the Rhonda and Judith routes, which arguably should have been added years ago.

I have a personal theory that by 2026, most of the planned content will finally be implemented, especially considering that some routes are being reworked.

I also don’t believe Summertime Saga will go on forever without an ending. Aside from the main story, there’s still the prom storyline to be added — which could be just as long and complex. And let’s not forget the dating system, which has yet to be fully developed. DarkCookie has mentioned his goal is for every route to be at least as extensive as Jenny’s, which is something I find really exciting.

But we've been 2 years without content and then 2 years with updates with little content, I've been waiting for the Judith update for 5 years, this game is incredible and I honestly know it will be huge, but at this rate, people will abandon the ship sooner or later

Does anyone remember when the percentage went from 85 to 86%? It's been so long since this percentage changed that I don't even remember anymore.

Judging by the recent Stream, Debbie's Route seem to be finished(Finally) and DC is now working on Judith's Route.

At this point, one can safely say that one should never consider DC to be anywhere in terms of progress based on what he's drawing currently. He has a habit of going off and drawing arbitrary wallpapers, side character stuff, and other scenes that may not get used in the current update, or even years from now.

Plus DC on Friday's stream said that for the next 4-6 months he's finishing Debbie's story, adding pregnancy, and whatever extra stuff he's drawn. So, yeah.
