Ren'Py Summertime Saga [v21.0.0 wip.6705] [Kompas Productions]

[KillTrust]

This update makes it look like he has been screwing about for two years then patched up something real quick in a week.

Does he actually have a team? It's just him, isn't it? Despite what the website says.

He has a coder who likes to move slower then a fucking snail stuck on glue. DC surprisingly is ahead in terms of art.

Most of these people don't understand how a business works or what a business model is

What business? This shit is equivalent to an onlyfans, horny idiots will pay for anything. There is nothing to understand.

is there a new walkthrough mod for this version?

There is nothing to walkthrough in this version.

Ah the classic milk more money out of the same game infinitely by "restarting". This was originally one of my favorites.

After your comments, the developers should see the light

What is the difference between the normal download and the Before the Tech Update (v0.20.16) download, I saw that in normal there is no images folder and other folders do not appear either?

Looking forward to the future updates of this game.

how is the lower iQ here, the genius trying to explain to the lower iQ guy what he cannot understand, or the lower iQ guy asking the question over a situation he cannot understand?

==check mate

You logic has no flaws, I cannot argue with that. I tip my hat to you, good Sir.

The "normal" download is the new Uber 2 year worth of work mega Tech Update preview. (stripped of 90% of its content)
The other one, is the 'old' version of the game. (but with all it's content)

Normal download:
<5% of the content
widescreen
10x+ faster loading screens
no audio

Before tech update
100% of the content
4:3 aspect ratio
very slow loading screen
has audio

Compromise: We leave off the Abandoned tag, but add the NTR tag (the Patrons are being cucked)

So Stardew Valley, but shit.

At least Stardew Valley has an actual game to its slow development LMAO

There was plenty of time to back down and if he really didn't want to continue on his spaghetti code there was always the opportunity to do a Summertime Saga 1.5. To take such an old well-loved project that is nearing the finish line and deciding to "rewrite the whole codebase" reeks not of incompetence/ignorance but more scummy/greedy action.

Full disclosure: I am not a coder. I do not pretend to know coding even at an enthusiast level of understanding.

But I do know game development, specifically the business side of AAA publishing. And I really wish people would stop saying SS is 'mismanaged' or similar turns of phrase, because that implies something didn't go as planned. Where, as an outside observer with the background I have, it seems the project has actually been 'managed' more or less as the developer intended. He's not developing a game, he's sustaining an ecosystem. And it would actually be a net bad for that system if the tech update was complete and worked right out of the box.

The remake approach is minimal effort and apparently minimal risk, unless we see a sudden drop in subscriber count next month, which I doubt.

There might be some dips, but if he drops below 15k I'd be shocked.

Me too, tbh. Reading the forum post "update" has been entertaining as fuck.

Guys, is it worth to play the new version I like to play this game with the incest mod and I haven’t played this game since version 19 or even 18

Not worth it at all, this update removed 95% of the content. Play the "old" 20.16 version if you want to see the content you missed, because there's probably not going to be anything new or worth downloading for another couple years at least. (If ever.)

No new content. +90% of old content is removed. You decide.

 

[Asclepios]

If I understood correctly, the technical update is almost finished.
Given that the graphics and scenario part is not started from scratch (I hope, otherwise the madness is even more... complete) we can hope for faster updates to find the pre-tech content, No ?

In the meantime, I will continue to be patient by playing other games. Because if SS was a precursor on lots of things, now there are plenty of games at its level.

For heaven's sake, why are you still answering them?

My honest feeling is that everything is going as Darkcookie planned.

If I understood correctly, the technical update is almost finished.

NOPE - it's totally the opposite: if it were almost finished, they wouldn't have released anything.

Well... No.
