I am going to ask a question. Sorry I don't know the rules of steam, patreon etc. Why is Summer's gone a issue? As far as content it doesn't seem to be a problem in my eyes as a regular joe. I looked at steams visual novel section and saw some deep stuff. Saw one game guy fucks his mom and sister there is no if and or buts about it they were who they were, furry sex, corruption and other things. Summer's gone compared to some of the stuff I saw couldn't compare. So please enlighten me whats the issue.
It isn't an issue.

The complication was removing some lewd content in order to get a 16 rating on Steam to reach a wider audience as a non-adult game. Season 2 will be rated 18+.

THE PROBLEM IS SIMPLE, THE GUY WANTS MONEY, SO HE'S GOING TO POST IT ON STEAM FIRST, THEN ON PATREON, VERY HYPOCRITICAL BECAUSE THE PEOPLE KEEPING THE COSTS ARE THE PATREON SUBSCRIBERS, I SAY AGAIN, SG IS BIG, BUT THERE ARE GAMES THERE WHICH IS GOOD BIGGER AND THE DEVS DON'T POST IT FIRST ON STEAM AND KEEP WALKING ABOUT TO POST IT ON PATREON, I'M GOING TO LOVE THE FIRST DAY OF LAUNCH ON STEAM FOR THE GAME TO BE LEAKED BECAUSE IT STOP BEING DUMB!
Ok thanks. You seem kinda angry.

As long as he makes ~5000 renders a year, I'm fine. Make it 8000 and I'll be happy.
I'm not a "completionist", I prefer long series over a movie, as long as the author can produce entertaining content.
For me, an abandoned game and a completed game are almost the same thing. If I finish a game and know that there will be no new content, I will forget it very quickly. Leap Of Faith was a favorite of mine while it lasted, now it's just a good memories deleted from my hdd. SG is a game I replay from the beginning every update and always enjoy it.
Season 1 will be the first completed game in a series of games-seasons with a common main plot and characters called Summer's Gone. Like, I dunno, Breaking Bad series.
I'm planning on still being around 27 years from now...
I'm not here to make anyone against Ocean or anything like that (He gave me my favorite MMC after all), just putting this out to shed some light on how things are going and being rational. Pointing out flaws or critizing doesn't make one against it, it simply shows what needs improvement;). Moving on...

First of all Nobody knows how long anyone will live and that's wishful thinking that I'll be around that (put any amount of days/months/years/decades) time especially with all these wars on the brink of happening + virus outbreaks, natural death, etc.

Second, you guys need to be rational about things. We got 5 chapters in 5 years (starting from 2019 and yes I'm counting Chapter 5 in it, I know it's not FULL version). 30 chapters are set in stone AT LEAST making it every 5 chapters a season + reworks. YES! I'm counting ATLEAST one rework every 5 chapters and that me being optimistic that we'll get only 1 rework. Rework can be minor or major. Ren'py does version updating too, that's another issue of saves. Who knows if ren'py will be around then or not. Who knows maybe AI will be making AVN's.

Not to forget Ocean is working on two games which is also affecting the delay of updates (look we still didn't get Chapter 5 full version even though ch5 was released way before WIAB release and WIAB already got full version a long time ago) And I don't think Ocean will be abandoning WIAB especially after 2 chapters in AFTER rework and it is way shorter in comparison to Summer's Gone that is if Ocean is not planning on making it SG 2.0 with 30 or some chapters.

So, the game will be completed in 2049 is the most optimistic we can be.

It's also been said a thousand times before. If that's all you have to say Vee, we've all heard it before. Don't come here and start whining daily instead of the other thread (that I had missed your post in yes), we have enough whining little girls in Oceans threads without adding to their voices.

Move on.

i will not be supporting ocean on steam i'll just wait till it is leaked i can spend my money better on a game and developer that puts out content on a regular basis not since october 2023 of last year there is no excuse for a beta to be that long. the creator of grandmas house has put out content on a regular for years and there are many others like him they dont make excuses and there games are great with story might not look like summers gone in renders but at least there is content to play on a regular basis. we can see they are working hard with what they put out. the proof is in a pudding.

And if I supported it or didn't support it, what will change?
a single payment of $5.00 will not change development so yes mine or your support means nothing in the grander schemes of things. these developers are making hand over fist in money believe it or not, most of them make empty promises. i think they are smart business men or women that know how to keep the customers mind occupied.

I can understand that point of view. Only reason I will be supporting him on steam , cause it's more convenient for me for replays I may do, that and I consider a Season a partially complete product and see it like buying Part 1 / Episode 1 of a game like what the Final Fantasy 7 Remake is doing. Frankly I could care less if an update took 6 months or 2 years sure might be frustrating but if I like the product I buy it. Since to me buying on steam isn't about supporting him that's what Pateron and subscribstar is for.

i have games on steam with season one from deveolpers and the season is never updated i think summers gone will be the same no updates just a single game of a season nothing more. season two will be a seperate game with a whole new price but we will never see it for probaly another 5 years if history repeats.

I mean I wouldn't expect games that release like that to get updates beyond bug fixes anyhow unless a dev releases a Season before it's complete. Since they release it that way so they can make more money and it's usually a partially complete product. Which is why I choose to really only buy his game through steam and not do the whole pateron thing since at least i feel like im getting something in return even if it's only Part 1 of a complete product. Since with all his reworks and how he is making 2 games at the same time it can feel like his update cycle is slower than most devs at times ( no idea if it is or isnt) but hey picking up AVN's as a hobby you have to know you are in for a long wait anyhow so I expect it to be a long painful wait anyhow. Also if im being honest working on 2 different games does leave a sour taste in my mouth but that's cause im being selfish and prefer SG.
