The creators are Vancouverites and the English script is the original. Few if any mistakes, from what I remember. There is a Chinese translation but I've never tried it.

This was very sweet. I almost feel bad about pirating it... Might just have to go and support the devs.
Definitely looking forward to their next project.

The art looks so beautiful... Kinda sad there's no straight content (avoidable)

You're right, the art is indeed gorgeous.
You're not completely right about the lack of straight content since there is a straight route and ending - although it's obviously neither the main route nor the default "good" ending.
However, it's futile to complain about a lack of straight content in a visual novel made by lesbian creators which is meant to be a lesbian love story from the get-go - I mean, the overview and preview pics couldn't be more obvious, right?

Well, I'm not complaining. I just wish it had this kind of avoidable content to allow more people to enjoy what seems to be a nice game with a special atmosphere.You're right, the art is indeed gorgeous.

I know wishing that won't change anything. I haven't seen a game with straight content & this kind of art, that's all.

I'm sure someone can recommend you a good, straight VN. Just glancing over at VNDB.com, there's gotta be some good ones with similar art style.
I agree with you that it would be nice to have more visual novels with this kind of (beautiful) art (and let's not forget about the well written characters and story - it's the full package that makes A Summer's End such an extraordinary VN).
However, it just feels a bit weird to voice your sentiment regarding more straight content (regardless if avoidable or not) particularly in this thread.
I mean, would you enter a gay bar and say:
"I just wish some / more of you beautiful people were straight."
A bit out of place, don't you think?
Again, A Summer's End was never meant to be anything but a lesbian love story.
I really appreciate that the creators went the extra mile and even added an alternative straight (or should I rather say: suppressed gay?) ending - I don't think anyone was expecting this kind of content.

Whether it's a lesbian love story or not, it is beautifully written and beautifully crafted. The characters are gorgeous which seems funny to say about drawings. The artwork is some of the best I have seen for this type of visual novel. Wonderfully done. You should be proud of what you have created.

Lesbian only content or not, it's irrelevant, it's a great game. I do hope they make more similar games like this one, and set on the 80's too

My only gripe with this game was that there was too much exposition at the beginning of the game. I am a firm believer in the "show" don't "tell" when it comes to visual media, which almost led me not give this wonderful nostalgic game a chance.
Agreed, there were very long dialogues over little things on the first part of the game, way too long. But I'm glad I sticked with it, it was a great visual novel. Unfortunately I didn't saw any new games coming out from this dev, and this game is already a couple years old.

From what I could tell from their homepage, something is in the pipeline.

I'm gonna buy this game on Steam. That was fantastic. So much nostalgia for Hong Kong the way it used to be.

Funny story, I played it here and actually went and bought it on steam afterwards because the creators deserve the money for this wonderful story.
If you like A Summer's End and are looking forward to Oracle and Bone's new project In the Ocean I Learned to Float, I recommend reading this recent interview with the creators:

A Summer's End — Hong Kong, 1986 has an amazing story. But what is even more amazing is that 3 years later on June 4th, nothing happened

I found this story heartwarming, while i do not understand the experience as people that go through it, it felt believable, romantic and coming to terms and i loved the ending, it was awesome.
