VN Ren'Py Summer's Gone [Ch. 5 Beta] [Oceanlab]

[BobTheDuck]

So from my understanding, Ocean reworked the game for steam as well? He cut the scenes with nudity? Why ?!?!
There are games on steam with nudity...

It's been talked about since maybe Jan - Ocean would lose the music licenses if he didn't cut the downstairs nudity. Top nudity he could get away with without risking his licenses. It would have the added advantage of not being geoblocked in German and China on steam. The important thing was not losing the licenses, requiring all the cinematics to be reworked, and a lot of scenes to be repaced to new music.

Sacrificing a few penis shots, and one minor lewd scene vs maybe a year of further reworks seems an excellent tradeoff.

Now that Ocean has it approved by steam, season 2 will be easier - he's finding simpler music licenses to avoid the same thing happening again.

I'll make her stop the cam gig in my playthrough cause it doesn't do her good imo. It ends up isolating her further and is disgusting. Who needs real human contact when you can interact with horny guys on the net who validate you and improve your low self-esteem over and over. It's a vicious cycle, of course she ended up being quirky and weird. It IS her personality, she's not fake. But she tries to appear happier than she is to fit in and ends up overcompensating. Nothing she can't work on.

Her weirdness is not an innate defect but rather a consequence of her past. In light of that (beautiful people can end up bullied and isolated yes) she can improve and be at peace with herself. That's what her story is gonna be about.

I´m not going to lie, i want to have a path where she still doing those cam shows and Nika can fuck her even on live.
Of course i´m going to do a path trying to take her out of that but i´m one of those committed with the "dark" path so... I want to know until what point Nika could use Nia.

Anyway i can understand why someone wouldn´t like Nia, after all is a girl who is selling out her body online... Completely normal if someone doesn´t like that behaviour. I don´t know if i want her as a proper girlfriend for Nika but i want to explore that path, she is beautiful (imo) and i think is very kind too, at least i don´t remember her as a rude person, and in this game that´s something

Makes sense seeing he has already had problems with music

A year of reworks to change a few tracks??? rofl....

Ugh I don't even know why I'm posting here, apparently whoever mods this thread is overzealous.

Nah, because once Ocean starts doing that, he's have to continue doing season 2, same as the last rework, dividing time. As he paced the renders to the old music, the new music might not fit, so either he searches or he re-renders to fit the scene to the new music. And while he's there, breat sizes change mysteriously. So, I'm really okay with missing two or three penis shots a vagina and an assjob. It's less than 1% of the content, and they will be better lewds in season 2 - which will happen sooner than if he had to rework the music.

I'm all for cutting like 4 renders and a cinematic so Ocean isn't tempted to increase cupsizes or age the characters while they wait for season two.

Don, I'm completely with you. Many of us would like the dark path and triangles, and even as you said, we would like Bella and the others to find out about Nika + Nami quicker.
A small problem is that the vision of the Ocean's plot may not coincide with our expectations. And how can I put this mildly? It might turn out like in the movie Eurotrip (2004), where one of the characters wanted sex, but got flugegeheimen.

Ocean was aiming for a +16 rating, and he got a +18, so all the censoring was doing for nothing ?

Did Robin aim at Sasha on purpose?

Im already told you guys before， a 18+ porn game without sex scenario doesn't mean it‘s true love game,
dev’s greedy made things go bad. come on, we need more adult content not merely some teenage sexual innuendos.
we need a aggressive mc make more dark and thrill content include ntr , manipulate not that autism mc with adolescence troubles.

-Well, in the previous scene, Robin was seen failing to withstand Sonya's attack.

-Most likely it was because she happened to see Nika entering the women's bathroom. She was probably either late for class or was waiting for Sasha (their subjects were different) to finish class. Yes, Robin wasn't in class, those who said that Robin was told by Sasha to follow Nika to the bathroom were clearly wrong.

-Robin is seen in many background scenes at the gym, it is likely that she will not be able to see Necole outside the gym.

- Robin doesn't seem to like how strong his mother's influence is in the club. (at least that's the impression I got from Robin, Sasha and Nika's conversation)

-To apologize, I think it's normal because she feels he has gone too far.

So in conclusion, this thread and game is not for you, so please go to the thread and game that interests you.

In theory, pushing for anonymous voting could change a lot. At a minimum, Robin will not be afraid, and judging by the conversation, there are many who are. However, if everyone anonymously votes against Charlie, Robin will be embarrassed

Hmm, I don't think it's possible that everyone is against her, indeed some are against her, but she's been at the top for quite a long time, so her supporters are probably quite loyal. at least, Noji is one of her supporters.

This is all good, of course, but somewhat naive, like Victoria’s words and vision about Nia’s work. We are all social animals and are quite dependent on family, friends, and work colleagues. And not giving a damn about other people’s opinions is good only on paper. In real life, even if Nia changes her occupation, the past will never go away and can bite when, for example, her child goes to school, and other schoolmates dig up her video. And this is only one example out of a thousand. It’s only in a fairy tale that everyone will be loving and understanding.
PS: The most funny thing is that there are so many theories about Nick and Nami’s parents being mafiosi and not a single theory about stripper/prostitute/porn actress parents. People even subconsciously reject this possibility.

yeah I get you are saying. I would personally be understanding but that's cause i'm too nice and understanding when I shouldn't I find. Especially if I just want to be with someone id find it easier to make a sacrifice even if I dont like it. But yeah that doesn't mean others will be and cause issues. On that note I expect maybe only Nami will be understanding since she watches Nia's shows. Unless the MC fucks her on cam while Nami watches one day. I can even see sweet Victoria turning into a mean girl towards Nia if she finds out the MC turned her down to be with a girl that does cam shows. So I do hope Nia's career does cause some drama with others in the future.

I absolutely agree Robin is more than meets the eye.

I hope so I want to like her but I cant personally forgive or trust her yet after she crossed a line for me. One of the rare times where im not understanding lol.
