VN Ren'Py Summer's Gone [S1 Steam + DLC] [Oceanlab]

[Cabin Fever]

A dev (sorry, can't remember which one) once said, "it's all in the hairstyle." And I tend to agree. I think swapping Ayua and Nojiko's hairstyle would instantly make them both more age-appropriate.

Oh no, did I just gave Ocean an idea to rework the rework?

 

[Ottoeight]

Probably seeing how to make the art better, but also I assume to be able to sell the product to companies like steam. Visually it is beautiful.

I just hope he didn't ruin Bella! Bella was the most gorgeous LI of any VN that I've ever seen. If he ruined her I'm gonna be pissed.

I guess you didn't played earlier versions, therefore you didn't understand that I was pointing out that even though the storyline is the same - more or less - dialogues and characters' behaviour changed: the whole game atmosphere is quite different now.

Earlier Bella was quite different, too.

 

[Metal Panic]

Oh god, yes she is bad. Really bad actually. She was cute before, now she's ugly. Supposedly 19 looking like late 30s.

They took Jill from Being A Dik and made her into an older character.. good job!

Current rework is the first I played. Do you perhaps have images of the original Bella?
Honestly, physically she's pretty much what I consider ideal/perfect woman to be so I'm pretty happy with how she looks now. Hope he doesn't try to "make her more realistic" in the future, like he'd done with the asian girl or how the devs did with Lara Croft where she went from a sex bomb to a plain looking girl that wouldn't turn a head even once lol. It never turns out good.

Damn. I love everything about her, but double damn for that delicious pout and her penetrating eyes.

Hateful eyes that look right through you,the creepiest laugh that makes you want to slit your wrists and vomit your intestines,
one of the most gorgeous,gruesome,terrifying images of a Bella straight out of hell..

It doesn’t matter how many times you post this, it will always be funny

LMAO!!

The camera was not merciful in this shot

For me, the hairs on the back of my neck stand up while looking at that image because I get this blood-curdling epiphany that receiving a BJ from that version of Bella would be akin to receiving a BJ from a Piranha.

Regular scenes with Bella were OK but her manically lough was scary, really scary. But new improved Bella is a beauty. Her mother had similar transformation, new Amber is just breathtaking.

Is understanding how to get a romance going with a certain character something that a dev intends? If I'm making a save for each girl, I'd like to know which choices are relevant without having to trial and error my way through it. My time is more valuable than that and a WT is simply a convenience. Nothing that you're saying justifies why the dev would make it deliberately more difficult to, optionally, streamline their playthrough. Dev's shouldn't get to decide how a player plays their game.

I think a walkthrough has its place for those who are here to enjoy SG but they don't want to experiment with different choices/a variety of paths.

There may, however, be good reasons where Ocean intentionally makes some of the coding obscure.

I really enjoy the Bella/MC romance.

I also realize that Ocean will begin to add to the background of more of the women, making some of them more appealing, just like he did with Zara.

Spoiler: Did anyone else change their minds about Zara?

I'm not going to boycott SG once Bella has less 'screen time' than some of the other LI's.

I've enjoyed Ocean's character reveals and I have every reason to believe that I will continue to enjoy his world/character-building.

I'm going to let Ocean tell this story his way and enjoy the ride.

Cheers!!

I suppose that Bella was like the old "Nika" or worse? That laught is really scary...
I know Bella like a person with problems, behaving like a Bully, she was like that too in the old version? Or more like a completely psicopath?

Her behavior was the very similar as now, but her laughter not. Probably her behavior hasn't reached the point where she snapped... Ocean had few routes for her planned, in times when she was his favorite girl.

Thanks, i was thinking that maybe her personality was different in the old version and that would change the relationship between Mc and her and the events.

A completely crazy Bella has less impact than a Bella behaving like a bully because she is hurt and has insecurities.

I think Zara was intentionally set up like that at first. But over time she had a lot of (probably the most in the game) character growth that made players like her more and more. I'd be curious to see polls from early in game and now to see how popular she is, but I'd bet she had climbed a lot.

 

[Tairnel]

I kinda want to keep the original versions of chapters 3-4.5 to replay eventually, just for the music that was lost!

There's a guy who collected all the different versions of SG a few pages back

You say everything correctly, I completely agree with you that the characters were better before. They were better developed, each had their own character and were individual. Now, after Ocean's rework, the characters have become more beautiful, but they are all the same. Ocean doesn't know how to develop dialogues and characters well, like Regium used to do.

 

[Razrback16]

I actually like the new version of Ayua (sp?).

 

[RNasc4444]

They took Jill from Being A Dik and made her into an older character.. good job!

Ok I don't like Ayua's new hair and 40 year old wrinkled face either but let's not compare her to Jill. That bitch has an entire solar system of length between her eyes. She looks like Sid from Ice Age.

Stunning. Easily the top best looking LI.
