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

[TastySnickers]

Dogeek (one of the coders for SS) said that we can expect the update this weekend at the earliest. After seeing here how many people are thirsty for some Roxxy love (me included ) I would say, there is a very good chance he will be working today and tomorrow to push the update early this week.

 

[Tataro]

how do you know?

It was talked about on stream, at least 2-3 days for bug testing

 

[NWOxKing]

why shouldn't they work today? it's not like anyone from the main team aside from DC and aehentai were working the last couple days. so they had their free days. it's like i said i feel like most of the team doesn't take the project serious enough. maybe they don't get paid enough to care, then dc should increase how much he gives them. otherwise he needs to hire some new guys who make a better job and don't just take a couple days off when the update is at 98%.

DC and devs work very hard on this game to ensure that all of the updates are the best possible quality and people just presume whenever the progress bar comes to a halt that they aren't working or that they are doing a bad job. The process was slowed down due to the team waiting on animations from AE Hentai but they were still working e.g. other tasks that weren't included in progress bar and intensive bug-testing.

The development of this game is by far the most professionally managed project among all the adult games using the patreon model. There is consistent high-quality output, superbly and transparently organized in a way that's truly impressive. There are well-funded projects on patreon, like say, Something Unlimited, whose rate of development is virtually zero in comparison. Anyone could learn a thing or two about project management just watching this team work. And yet as soon as there is a slight delay in delivering each update, they get bombarded with indignant complaints and unsoliticed advice on how to do what they're amazingly good at, by a bunch of dick-in-hand literal wankers with zero capacity for delayed gratification.

What are you even talking about? The dev tracker shows changes in the dev branch every other hour or so... Those that finished with .16 already moved on to .17

I think calling this the most professionally managed project is a little over the top. I don't know how long you have been here but there are other games here with far less funds and without a team (just the Dev) who are constantly delivering on time and with good quality products and decent content size. Not saying this game is not good. Until the last update this used to be one of my favorites.

 

[jughead004]

Never have I been this engrossed with looking at numbers and updates on a dev tracker. But yeah, we should all just wait for the inevitable release. It will come eventually.

 

[Emre0]

Even they release today I will wait for almost one week to get the fixed game...

 

[GeorgeBest]

This is one of my favorite game too but there is one thing i still don't understand. Since the beginning, there were monthly update, i know that due to patreon rules they had to rework the game for the previous one. May be they explained it and i didn't saw it but now that they got 40k per month, it take more time too release their work.
I'm not here to complain, i'll play when it will be avalaible.

Supposedly the updates take longer now because they are bigger. For instance the teachers update included 4 characters with their story paths and all, instead of the typical 1 main character per update we have had until then. This one is just one character again, Roxxy (although there will be some side content with others I guess, like her mother and her freinds), but they said it's a big update nontheless. We'll see about that soon enough, but until now they have delivered accordingly, so I think it will be okay.

Since the first aunt update, releases have been every 6-8 weeks. The teacher update was twice the size as a normal update, so it took twice as long. DC said this update was roughly the same size as the teacher update, so one would guess it would take about the same amount of time.

 

[GrampyBone]

You don't really need it. You can change the name of the characters to whatever you like.

I wish it were that simple.
Here's hoping that Cookie keeps to the spirit of the original Diane and doesn't create a bunch of backstory on how Debbie and Diane are just friends in the next update. Even if it creates silly nonsensical sentences espousing the taboo nature of Diane having sex with her friend's friend's son.

I hope they do, because that just heightens my experience once I inevitably wait for the incest patch to be updated and play with it.

Read this. And when you find a discount at "Labours R Us" for D.C. let us know:

You must be registered to see the links

 

[Darth Helmet]

It's always nice to see the thread go crazy each time the update is about to drop. Let's all be patient and wait.

 

[Ungawa]

I'd say it's a severe case of FDS*...

*Fapper Derangement Syndrome.

Well, the problem with EMM is that it's all in your head. I mean you don't even get a good fap from mental masturbation.

Fap Derangement might be an offshoot of MM. When you need a good fap, but just can't reach that high note.

Studies and diagnoses so far have been inconclusive and more research and (Patreon) funding is needed...

The irony of insulting people on a porn games site by calling them "a bunch of dick-in-hand literal wankers" is spectacular.
