Ren'Py Summertime Saga [v21.0.0 wip.4468] [Kompas Productions]

[fidgetspinner]

I haven't paid attention to this game since 2021. Can someone explain What's going on with the release schedule of this game and how in the flying hell 30k people still pay monthly for what seems to be a never ending development without more than a release per year?

For one thing it's going on one and a half years since an update. Even if there's an update it's just minor ones to fix a spelling error or grammar or something to that magnitude. All I can tell you is that you aren't missing much since from the looks of things, we won't get another update until Summer 2025. Maybe. (My actual guess would be Nov 2026 for the next update.) Where Summertime Saga will go from .20.16 to .21.00 IF we're that lucky. It might be version .20.20 for all I know.

As for why 30k people still pay? Your guess is as good as mine.

Abandoned tags are for VN and game dev went radio silence both here and on their support platform for at least 4 months. As long as they release monthly "I'm alive, game is going" it doesn't meet the condition.

I think one of the biggest mistakes DC made was that he called what he was currently doing, an "update".

Imo, it's anything but.

Not only is he changing the aspect ratio, but he's reworking numerous scenes, in both story/dialogue and image, and expanding every single background that exists, as well as creating new locations to flesh out the larger map.

Even if he's still not gotten to the next character he's working on, which by his semi daily streams, he's almost done art wise, he's still adding a ton of new content to the existing game.

It's also clear that he greatly underestimated the time it was going to take to get it done, and just how arduous it was going to be for the people (coding/posing) to stick with it and complete it.

For the people that post here complaining it's not yet done, I can say with certainty that it's going to be months before you get to play it.

My advice is to look elsewhere for awhile an enjoy whatever other devs have to offer for the time being.

Always a good idea to keep a bucket list of game to play.

You are incorrect (so is the person you responded to). For the condition you are referencing, it is 3 months not 4. Also, because of another condition, 30 April 2024 is the date this thread can start to be considered for the flag, per the rules of F95.

Imagine getting $114,272 in 4 months span to just say hey guys I'm still alive keep waiting for content. How is this game like patrons top 11th highest paid account over other games? Is it just their marketing? Not flaming the game but I'm genuinely confused why they have such a following.

He was number one somewhere in the past, making even more money... if i am not wrong (not sure).

Aaaaand?

Good for him he gets payed for this art game. Someones at least have a honest way of living, thats a lot more than others jealous guys whom come here to try to mock and cancel him.

But in the end he will be gaining all those sweat money and you will keep crying about.

Taking money from people for months with nothing to show for it is an honest living? He certainly has built up a fan base to jerk him off that's for sure, good for him. Still didn't answer a thing I asked.

Politicians do it

Politicians do it

Yeah and do you think politicians live honest lives? I wouldn't really compare DarkCookie to them, its kinda insulting to him. I just wanna know why this of all things got so big, not insult the guy.

I would say prior to the tech update, the updates released were on track with other AVN's. Generally 6-10 months. The mismanagement and underestimating the scope of the tech update has lead us to where we are today.

I am hopeful that once the tech updates launches, updates can resume at a more normal release pattern.

 

[DorianGreyEminence]

Maybe you want to try my mod. Not dildorogs quality but it adds some additional stuff like new scenes/camera angles, bregnancy sex or hairy options. See signature.

Oh yes! This mod is 100% necessary for me. I'm a huge fan

Step 1 Write a few lines of text every month
Step 2 Make one or two wallpapers
Step 3 Profit

 

[Dargondo]

Holy crap, I reviewed this game THREE YEARS AGO, how has it only gone up 0.00.07 revisions since then? Why tf are people still supporting this dude and his project when he's clearly just milking his patrons for their money?

 

[TFurguson69]

So Patreon is on a tear right now kicking devs off the service. Become someone got booted for BDSM content. I wonder what will happen to a game with questionable content?
Looks like the free gravy train may end sooner than someone thinks

Oh and this is just comedy gold, first question in the FAQ section, bahahahahahahaha

 

[daaar]

He has been a real shit friend.

Your friendship, as presented so far, consists entirely of you enabling him to be a fat, lazy piece of shit by doing everything for him, and him doing nothing for himself, much less you.

So yeah, fuck that guy.

Dude is living on easy mode.

How is this not abandoned? This is the poster-child of Devs that just milk the fucking system. Thats why I dont do Pateron. If they sell their full game on Steam, I'll buy it. But I dont do monthly payments for NOTHING.
