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

[lo0u]

After this wacky update, I fear this thread will become hell like the Milfy City one. It's quite understandable that people will troll when there are many legitimate complaints to be made about the game's development process.

If you dont wanna start a new game just unlock the gallery and wait a few versions before playing again

It's a big game with a lot of code so it takes a long time to add content

 

[mrACman]

Is it really only 30min of content added on to the end?

63k a month for 6 months and that's it?

The same thing happens every update. Why are you surprised? We wait for 6 months for a short update and then have to start from the start again. Can you blame him, he has people paying out of the ass to get these updates in this manner so why would he change the way he is doing things?

yo Ted,its been a long time,how you holdin up?been far from the thread from some time,but now i actually managed to get back,so,how the shitstorm hit on the last 2 updates?i mean,it looks far more lighter here than on Diane's update...

Still playing it. I'm not sure how people are getting through it in 30 minutes, they must just be holding the Ctrl key down. I'm a fast reader and it's been a hour so far. Although, there's a bit more grind than usual which is unfortunate. Plus the saves broke again.

 

[Dostojevski]

So you're just here to troll, nice.

I enjoy the game, so I come here to talk about it.

i don't think speaking someones mind is trolling. i liked it to, but i'm sorry to say that (for me) it turned into a big pile of money milking shit. and i may add that i followed this game from version 0.1, when it was still all about the "art", and picarto streams, and the community. it got corrupted like everything else good in this world :O

DC is the only artist listed in the 7 staff. It's more surprising that people think $60k will buy you more hours in the day to draw.
Why shouldn't he be successful, just because a bunch of pirates think money should equal speed.

Coming here to say "i don't care about this game" is definitely trolling.

Not to play devil's advocate for the whiners shortly after playing devil's advocate for DC, but more money should equal speed. How do you think EA, Ubisoft, Activision, and all the giant, evil gaming publishers get games out so quickly? More money, more people. You say he's the only artist, well, at $63,000 a month before taxes and the patreon cut, they can afford another artist.

Lol version 0.20 is like year 2020

 

[AkitoAK]

Android version 0.20 linkhttps://mega.nz/file/syYjlICS#5mMc42fjQo0E4cUrUxm8cQ822L5C56_wgHMkbz9rt4w

Thanks a lot!! Me and a few of my friends were waiting for the Android version..

The new pizza minigame is a bitch...

 

[Zelva]

Considering the way some people complain about this game you'd think DC had murdered their family or something (There's an idea, maybe that's what he does instead of working on the game or whatever)

 

[NerfDis]

63 k a month?! wtf

and only 30 min of new content? gonna check the game the next year, you know, when the next update comes out

That’s my biggest grip with this project. Even if he decided he’s the only one doing art on the project since it’s his game, fine. Why aren’t saves fixed? Don’t keep repeating the tired line of the old code is crap. You had 6 months and more than enough money to hire a coder and fix it. Plenty of other places to show people they’re getting an ROI on their time and money.

 

[pussyreaperxxx]

I think I'll play this for Maria and then skip till the Annie update since the updates after this seem to be focused on individual characters.

The new pizza minigame is a bitch...

The whole pizza affair is literally the dumbest thing they've done to the game to date.
Not only is the minigame to make pizza not fun, the driving game is even worse with how much you have to do it.

Like i want to know what they were thinking when making the driving game and then having you wait 3-11 days for triggers.
This isn't a life sim so why are we going down the do X repeated times and wait cycle. Just up the cash given to the player by 4 and reduce the wait times to no more than 2 "game" days.

 

[McSlut]

how is everyone enjoying the update so far?

 

[Haru105]

i will wait few more days, maybe this still buggy

 

[Energylite]

I think guys are quite harsh on DC, i mean the update is pretty cool. If you read everything, it takes 2hrs or more to do the updated content (english is not my native language).
But im a bit disappointed on maria's preggo scene hm

It's just the cause and effect of patreon. For every NLT Team that releases regular, high quality updates on a fixed twice monthly schedule, you have six dozen games that release at varying speeds to milk that patreon money. Summertime Saga is actually one of the better ones.
