Ren'Py Abandoned Summertime Saga [v0.20.16 Pre-tech] [Kompas Productions]

[Senigata]

Is it actually okay in this forum to refer to paying Patreons as “paypigs”?
They are even compared to alcoholics who can't get off the bottle.
Personally, I have never supported THIS game, but others and I wouldn't like to read
someone calling me "paypig" just because I made the decision to support a developer or their game.
Ultimately, it is a personal decision whether and how someone spends their money.

And to call the update "vaporware" is not entirely correct in my opinion,
that would be it if there were only promises without proof of progress,
but DC releases new images, even streams him painting them.
There are also progress indicators on the website.
(I know this information may not correspond to reality)

(25 Changes in the last 24 hours - sounds like they're making some progress)

An incitement to stop all payments would result in the game being
developed EVEN more slowly or even being discontinued.

There are a few sentences in manneychin's post that remind me
of statements like those made by conspiracy theorists.

Using the term is pretty much the same as calling yourself Anon, since they love to throw it around on 4chan. Together with cuck.

Well, I don't write much on the forum, but I kinda remebered this game exists and wanted to look it up. Love what you did with the discussion here, btw.

My 3 cents:
I was finishing high school when developement on this game started in 2016 and it's been now 8 years (just last 3 years are spent on single upcoming patch). This patch is never coming out. Even if it comes out, it will be super underwhelming. This game is in development hell. I don't assume that they don't work on it, they probably do, but if you are putting effort into smth and nothing came out of it, did you really actually do anything?

I'm programmer myself and work for major fintech company and there is this crap called deadlines which this game doesn't have. That's what allowed it to be in development hell - nothing gets released, but money is pouring in. If you want it to ever be released just stop paying for it. The panic it will cause will suddenly make update possible.

Ofcourse it won't happen as well, because their revenue source is splint in 30000 ways and there is no way to make sure all of those people stop paying, so just move on, stop wasting your time and money and enjoy some other games.

F95 will probably crash the day this game is open for the abandoned tag lmfao

I hope the mods are ready,this game getting the tag is so important people talk about in other threads

Exactly, that's my point, in the meantime that the game began to be produced until present moment, a lot has happened for little real development, when I say that DC is incompetent it is not with the intention of offending him or his fanboys in this thread, but to highlight the obvious, 8 years, and the person cannot have a consistent work and distribution rhythm, and even after this tech update comes out, it will take even longer for any truly usable content to come out, since even From what I read, the tech update will not bring any new scenes, just changes to the game and the map.

Incredibly, there are still people here to say that whoever is giving money, it's not for the game itself, it's for the "benefits", a server on discord, some wallpapers (which everyone will have access to) playing in advance (since updates take time , so I can't even call it a benefit) and any other crap that I'm honestly too lazy to look for and read.

There's nothing left to say in this thread because there hasn't been any new content in over a year, literally you'll just read the same things:

Why doesn't this game have the abandoned tag?

When does a new update come out?

Is this game still being produced?

That's all that's left, and that will still take a long time to change, even after the launch of the tech, maybe this year there won't be a real update either, "ah but if you know that, then why are you commenting here, the author doesn't even read the comments on this forum" great, so you can just read my comment and let me be unoccupied alone, otherwise come and be unoccupied with me

Don't worry, guys, it will be completed in summer.

Summertime Saga indeed.

Programmer as well, to be honest many of these kinds of projects suffer from this. There's no "design spec with a finished product" people can see outside the authors head. Each additional thing they add creates the need for exponentially increasing project size down the road. Because they're only beholden to people paying on their platform of choice, 200 people giving 20 dollars today is worth appeasing for the money in exchange for all the non-paying people that can see the project won't go anywhere or who can't afford to add their side quest of choice to the system. Because there's no design spec to stick to, and there's a reason to not stick to it (funding) there's very little reason not to just bloat the fuck out of it and end up with a project that has 10 million promises and very few completions.

This is exactly the same problem chris roberts has with star citizen too, so it's not restricted to porn games by any means.

So i've read the last 50 or 60 pages of this thread and the most noticeable thing that caught my eye was how users like Senigata, Count Morado and srksrk 68 are constantly attacking and bashing ppl who dare to say something that doesn't align with their opinion about this game and developer... the heck are the mods doing?!

That's because their opinions are usually backed up with facts and evidence. Also, I've never seen any of those guys attack or insult anyone. They just inform people that they're wrong and point out why. In fact, your post calling them out is more aggressive than anything I've seen them post.
EDIT: Also, aren't you the same guy who just left laughing emojis on posts I made like a month ago, presumably because you disagreed with them to the point that you found them funny? That's not attacking though, huh?

Even after this tech update, there's nothing really great to look forward to. 99% of the time for the sex scenes, we get solo scenes, and the very few group scenes that may occur will only occur because DC suddenly remembers their existence, while at the same time, 100% of the scenes that should have been in the game will remain forgotten.

All these harem games, including this one, feature only one to six group scenes (more if we're lucky; it's usually threesomes or only threesomes), or worse, none at all, due to a severe lack of common sense. It is frustrating.

What I said also applies to non-sexual scenes.

For you maybe, but I'm personally looking forward to the Rhonda, Annie, and Judith updates, well as the latinas, more Missy and even the coach. I think there's a lot to look forward to. I'll be in my grave by the time its all out, but still...

Summertime Saga indeed.

Odd choice of name for the game, now that I think about it, considering the story takes place during the school year and one of the original goals was to get a date for the prom, which is near the end of the school year.

The prom, aka the epilogue (it should be), won't come until like 4 years later, haha.

 

[pothb]

Not that I think this one is one of them but there are schools that do yearly schools, where they have weeks on and weeks off, rather than 9 straight months, followed by 3 months of break.

Hey, what is this tech update that is taking so long? I mean, anyones knows what they are gonna change that just takes so long to apply it?

 

[Charon XXX]

It occurred to someone that one person can have multiple accounts (Game Developers) multiple accounts on Patreon, Discord, etc. Maybe that's why games like Summertime Saga, SexNote, Milfy City, etc. have been in development for so long. He jumps from one project to another and generally takes a while to release updates.

Ironically even Milfy City was already abandoned and now finished lol.

I prefer if someone buys me dinner first before trying to call me out on a porn board.

Sorry, actually playing some games so I don't have as much time as I used to for everyone here. I'll be sure to make some once I'm done.
