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

[Jonboy80]

Patreons have access to a more indepth progress tracker. Non-patrons see a very barebones version.


While the number may change, that doesn't mean they're not tweaking stuff they've already labeled as complete or working on content for the next patch. You see those commits on the right side? Whenever they do add something to the commits, it's a task done in the last 24 hours.

So I'm just trying to understand something here... For the past few days, complete % has been 98, with 61/64 "code" tasks complete. Yet, today, status widget is: View attachment 127999

26 changes in last 24 hours; changes are growing but no change in overall %.

Is there a guideline, definition or any reality based scenario attached to the following:

"Changes in last X hours"?

normally this serve to ilustrate if there are any work being done,the number of changes normally are the changes on the version to be delivered,just that

I wonder how DC would feel about furry content or just more girls like Aqua

He hinted a while back that there's going to be another halloween update with some "special" content and given that we've had a vote some time ago between - if I recall correctly - a fairy, a "wolf girl" and a succubus (which won) I'd guess that could be it. But we'll only know by the end of october.

Well, there is the orc girl, and cow-girl(s), as well as a shop that is set up to sell more costumes in the future, so there is a lot of potential for some stuff, I would be surprised if there isn't at least a cat-girl costume at some point (Eve maybe? That seems to fit for me).

No. That's from weeks ago when DC posted about the updated tracker.

So the public change tracker isn't even accurate? Doesn't seem like an accurate count (without topic-per-card) would be a horrible thing to share...

You probably won't even see this but I want to thank you for your hard work in making the patches.

Totally saw it, and appreciate the thanks

It's accurate to the status of the current patch. The changes in the last 24 hours are changes to the project as a whole.

It completely astounds me that this has 41K worth of support. I thought it was absurd when it had 12k.

I'm not saying it doesn't "deserve" it but the money doesn't do this project any good. There are 8 people who work on this (2-3 of them I'd say are unnecessary) yet it delivers roughly the same quality, size, and speed as the 6k mark (DC full time).

Before anyone mauls me, I do actually like this game, and I play it every release. It's just sad that this project is so incredibly bottle-necked by poor project management.

Edit: Spelling

please be aware my comments about paint drying are not an indictment of this game or the updates.. far from my comment on paint drying is pointed at those individuals who come in make comments about the game designer scamming donators or complaining about updates.. my comment was reading all these complaints is like watching paint dry

well,it wont take much time before the second coat comes up,the soon finnaly reached the beggining of his 2nd week of life,so probably will have a new wave of complaints when we get near the end of the current week....here's hoping the update arrives before the next wave,but this is only a hope,that comes from a random guy....

 

[boingo]

wait...wait..hold on a minute...there was an update coming!? you gotta be joking. No way there is an update coming. smh.

 

[boingo]

I agree, finally a comment with a valid point.

I'd agree and disagree. The quality has gone up quite a bit in my opinion (way better quests and not just again and again buying stuff with money, better animations and even better ones are to come, more details in every imaginable way, more and different interactions etc.) but when it comes to speed there's not much that can be done without sacrificing some of its uniqueness. The game is good because DC is drawing it and because of all those small interactions druing streams etc. which give a lot of creative and input. It's like comissioning a picture from a world class painter, you are paying a lot of money because he's making it and you wouldn't pay that money if someone else did it. Since there's only so much that DC can draw the natrual limits are obvious. I mean, he hired a background artist for the future and the animations are outsourced now but that's likely how far we'll get - no matter if the game makes 25.000 a month or 100.000 a month.

Last but not least, it's not like DC is demanding more money or promising to work a lot faster. The last development goal on patreon was set at 25.000 and all he's getting now is additional money.

I hope it will stay that way, furry porn is disgusting idk how u guys can consider it fap material lol

Because its hot? Maybe youre confusing furry porn with beastiality

 

[Tbone]

It's great that he managed to get over 40.000 USD support per month!

Not many game devs on patreon can do that!
