Ren'Py Abandoned Summoner School Academia [v1.0] [Cascadia Games]

[j4yj4m]

Developer here, really didn't mean for this to blow up. Was trying to make a summertime saga / league of legends mash up because I thought it would be fun. There was a ton of work that went into it but it's true that original structure was based on the summertime saga game. As development moved along characters and locations diverged further from the original game (outside houses, arcade, mini games). In fact all the mini games are 100% unique and one of the things I thought was a major improvement. Future iterations are meant to push the story and style further in a unique direction. However, I'm not happy with the current state (which was suppose to be more of a proof of concept) and will be taking some steps moving forward. Patreon is down and will not be taking any donations.

Work at reworking assets that are the same style/layout.
Work with original developer and only move forward with blessing/credit

Sounds great, I hope you can keep going to find a good compromise. I do quite like the game as it was and I remember that there were other games like "a town unconvered" which had similar troubles at first but managed to find their way.

Be yourself, not an imitation living in the shadow of others. Let your game have it's own identity and I'm sure you'll thrive.

Not gonna lie but this feels like quite the weak explanation and sounds a lot like a "I'm sorry I got caught" situation, especially seeing as how you were so quick to make a patreon page.

But I suppose only time will tell.

PFFF.... ANOTHER "SUMMER TIME SAGA" COPY-BY-COPY PARODY PROJECT WITH LOW FAP-FAP MATERIAL?

 

[ironclast]

Cascadia im gonna be real with you chief why do this when from like the 2 minutes i played you can atleast draw competently enough to do your own thing. Like spend your time drawing this out instead of drawing over other art and you will have a decent looking game

 

[red_faced]

It's Summontime Saga

 

[tiltproofno]

Patreon & website down, is the game already dead ?

To be honest I couldn't care less if the game was heavily inspirated by something else, as long as it's good and the story developped into something interesting.

Stop trying to do someone else justice on a pirate website, that make literally no sense.

 

[Merosu]

This guys should be more wise, ppl will be mad about the copy cat situation, but ppl with blue balls after play a game without any sexual content will be furious

 

[YamiKoroVT]

honestly i can disregard thr blatent redrawing of ss but meh imititaion means dc doin something right

what about Piracy?

Both are bad. But there is a difference between distributing a product for free and reselling it with minor modifications to make money off of it. In prison, inmates will steal from guards but not from other inmates, if they do and get caught they will be beaten and not necessarily by the one they stole from. There is a moral code, even in immoral things. If you need source for the prison stuff feel free to watch Larry Lawton's collab with Jessica Kent on YouTube, both ex-inmates.

On the positive side, I do like the principal design ! however, the story is exactly like Summertime Saga but in a different universe. My advice is to change that and the SFX effect is also SS & the whole UI structure is the same. I also do admire the time you spent on making those house design, I like it. It has potential under the skin, just it'll need to be redone the right way.

if both are bad why are you here?

 

[volkov]

This is perfect because both League of Legends and Summertime Saga have sporadic releases.

 

[kimito]

i kinda like this idea

Keep your patreon up, mate. I would have threaten this release as a proof of concept, just placeholders and stuff while you worked on a different art direction or something. I think that the aesthetic is so similar that I'm not surprised people call it a ripoff even with it's own merits.

Good luck, though. Hope you manage to actually do things with different art, because the concept has potential, so don't let this change your mind.
