Ren'Py - Happy Summer [v0.6.8] [Caizer Games]

Game is bad. Story is not terrible, but the pacing is ultra bad and annoying. Characters are annoying. THis game is not a slowburner because those kind of games reliy on good stories and characters.. This is simply a blueballing festival.

This game has an average rating of 2.5 stars. Pretty crappy, right?
However, it has nearly 70 reviews and is heading for 200 pages of comments.
Possibly Caizer is 'milking' his patrons, but he seems to be able to retain them in spite of his slow progress.
Criticism appears to be divided between those who don't mind a 'slow burn' and those whose hearts' desire (reference intended) is instant fappability. I'm with the former.
The graphics are not 'real' but nevertheless appealling. The plot is more a series of loosely connected events than a logical serial, but it doesn't fail.
The problem-solving is irritating, but addictive. On my (fairly powerful, but not spectacular) Linux machine I have had no problems with bugs or crashes
The slow 'milker' appears to have found a working formula, if not a roaring success, and I wish him well.

I love the images and the couple animations there are, I remember trying this game some time ago. So long ago that I don't even remember when I did, just played through it some again and there's no sex in it yet? Come on with the sexy time stuff man!

This is for version 3.5

The game is interesting, irls are hot, of course it may be subjective, but i think the way tey are they are pretty hot. Animations are quite good, at least the ones that the dev decided to make an actual effort on.

POV Pussy licking is cheap. It obviously easier to animate a sinlge tonggue following camera direction in a closeup shot, that animating 2 full characters. Its lazy as fuck, so lazy that even i could do that.

From the techinal aspect animations are good, but i dont know if animations represent hot "sex" scenes. Fors tarters in .035 THERE IS NOT SEX. If you are a virgin you may pay 10 dollars to get a blowjob and tell your friends you had sex, but sorry, that is not sex.

The game is divided in events, but those vents are way to obivous that are events, dev didnt make the effort of creating some sort of thread or timeline in dialogues that reflected the state of things.

IT is one of those sandbox where you grind stats until you unlock scenes, and you still find girls in their rooms and conversations havent changed since the beggining of the game. For insctacne Rosie outside of the room has adialogue where she is telling that she began writing, but inside the room she is still blocked and hasnt started.

This is how it is and makes theevents feel like that, events, random scenes that dont affect anything. Rosie fixed events in bathroom, TV and shower dont change much since level 2, i would say they dont change anymore.

This game is not new, but dont have much, and still no sex, cause every girls sees sex the same way. IM guessing next update there is gonna be a boobjob, there is alaready handjob,blowjob, footjob, so its next, obviously.

Good first 20 minutes, unless you uncompress images folder and check actual content, that may kill your expectations quick.

I give 2 stars cause girls are hot. There is not much writing, MC is an adult that behaves like a virgin and whose decisions go against player needs most of the time, so there is nothing to celebrate. He may peek 200 times and still act like he doesnt want to, even run when he is asked to come inside. Absolutely retarded writing. Nothing to celebrate.

The good is clearly the girls, and the cloth system. Too much grind and too much retardation, doesnt pay off without actual sex. Im not even gonna punish the fact that some scenes end abrutly before becoming interesting, cause that would leave it at 1,and i want to at least remark that girls are hot and deserve 30% of the total rating.

I reviewed this in Hune 2021. In version 0.61:

All the previous stuff is still valid , but I have to punish the annoyances after 3 years of development. Not gonna read my review, just gonna enumerate. English some times seems like machine translated, scenes are not that good, characters dont look bad, but after 3 extra years they dont look that good either. The main character delayed for evert when she didnt even have much content, added the fact that most of the scenes are repetitions and you get to see soemkthing different ONCE. the release schedule is so retarded that I guess there are evetns that are absolutely pointless to release, but they are part of the water drop in the desert type of development plan. A development plan that focuses on side characters and it has been that way for a while now, and in the latest updates a new side character has been introduced, after previously introducing another one. All this while the main character,a nd face of the game, and the other main character have been stalled for ages in LVL4. The game logic is broken and I dont think the dev is bothering with making a decent code, the game is very cheap and constrictedm nothing evolves, even when a new character comes to live in the house, the original events like movie night and breakfast are still the same.
This game is officially CRAP and there is no fix for it.

great animations and art style, some QOL changes such as hints and showing what gallery you haven't unlocked would be amazing, I dont know if I've played it up to the current update, at all...

Looking forward to some more updates

A great game, probably one of the best 5 games ever for me. The graphic are amazing. I cannot believe the quality of this game, and the girls are beautiful made. The story is amazing and unfold as it would in real life. I am tired of games that on the second day you have f@cked the whole family. The bad comment are for the small but montly update and that after 2 years the game doesnt have sex....

Love models used for this game they look so good and animations with renders are gorgeous, on a sad note there's not much of content, little too much of a grind and sometimes I can't even tell what to do next, like "am I done wit all the content" and etc.
Anyway I really love girls in this game, so if you're the same as me support the creator, but be patient updates for this game not a speedy/bulky ones.

Pretty grindy for not much payoff even after all these updates. The art and animation is nice but at this point still pretty underwhelming. The story is also pretty decent. Has potential with enough time just going to be a really long time at the rate its going

Horrible game
Renders are bad The girls look like they got weird faces
Story just sucks
No rollback for a renpy game No skip
I got stuck after having 100% and was not able to find the event to advance the story
Walktrough is useless
No sex scenes

I think game will be "abandoned". It's no way that game with already 2 YEARS of "development" has like "nothing" in general to play for it's basis as it were described. With such slow rate of the game developing it needs like 7-8 years to be released.

The story? It's average normal story of like most of the games with such genre. It does not has it's raisin to get excited.

The graphics? Good. It's decent for games like this and it's "soft" for the eyes.

The time for development of the updates is insane and updates brings like "nothing" basically, just some animations and some minor things that do nothing and does not even make some of the story for the characters or the MC itself.

That's all. Cause game has nothing good or bad in it's general for now besides Above. Everything else is not having it's own resin to grab players. It's just average game with some of the story, long development "plans" which is giving doubts of the game ever come out and good graphical assets.

Maybe it will become complete game in the long future, which is I also doubt cause I have my experience looking after it's development. But I am surely has enough of seeing that it stands in the same place and not even progressing into at least decent game with at least decent story. But it will surely be some "miracle" as I could think about it to see the game come out with its style.

Decent story lots of options for the developer to decide whats next nice characters they do look different to most animations so its good to see something different lots of potential compared to other games that are at a similar atage in their own stories

Version: v0.3.3

Review:
This game could have potential, I said it could. But it seems to be a game that will never end, but not only that, the content added in the monthly update is very short and small, and even so, not much sexual content is added, but an exhaustive grind quite boring.

PROS:
The only good thing about this game is the rendering of the characters female model, both Rosie and Lucy.

CONS:
The game does not contain enough sexual content. The gameplay of this game is an exhausting grind with empty actions and interactions. You need to grind to trigger events with the characters. This is pretty bad for a point-n-click sandbox game, having a completely empty game, it would be easier to turn this into a VN. There is no function for the player to skip the dialogs, or to accelerate using some key, it's horrible to have to keep clicking in the same dialog because it is quite tiring and boring.
There is no gallery scene or rollback, but also, there are very few scenes that this game has. And there’s also no hint or information to do, in many cases, you will not know what to do to make the next event be triggered.

Why I did gave 1 star?
As I said, it could be a good game, if the developer had more appetite for your game, but it seems that it is a game that is being updated little by little and that is also not very satisfactory. Sandbox completely empty, very limited. You don't have the feeling of playing a game that can interact and move forward, build relationships and have the main thing that every porn game has, sexual content. Unfortunately the story of the game doesn’t help much, as your involvement doesn’t arouse much interest, it’s clear that for an incest game or not, players want to enjoy exciting content, but even that does not provide the game. There are moments during the game you think, okay, the dialogues are not very attractive, but we will follow the story, and then there is a delay in doing things, what is the grind of the game, and yet you wait for something and see that the content is not advancing and then you give up on it. Anyway, the game has two years of development, small and big things in the game could have been changed, I know that making a porn game is not easy, but it is difficult to support a job like this, so I wish the dev luck.

I love the art of this game, it's just beautiful. The story is very interesting! The animations are perfect. Out of all the games on this site it is one of the only ones to date that I will pay a full subscription on PATREON. I can't wait for the next update.

this games released basically zero content in the past few years.. I've seriously played porngame demos with more content than this garbage..

and to add insult to injury as over this update the devs addedporn/cam girl spam URL shortcut files included in the game folder.

fuck this game and fuck Caizer games

The idea for this game is pretty nice. Unfortunatly the game is so far in a click and play or sandbox version pretty boring full of repeating routine stuff, which makes me feel like I waste my time with this game. The time line could have been other solved to explain, that things not change over night with the other characters. The quality of the pictures and the design is nice from my point of view, but the bad game design (sandbox and repeating stuff) makes me give so far only 2 of 5 stars. The game have anyway some potential and maybe the game developer can change this boring routine stuff in the game...

like this one, even if there are not a lot of sexual content, i like the way the story is progressing. hoping to see new updates soon and see where it goes with all protagonists, especially with his daughter and sister thanks

Caizer games already has a history of abandoning it's project. It is likely they will do the same with this one.
From the beginning there has been next to nothing in new content, and after almost 2 years it still has barely any content that would make it worth downloading.

No dev should have a project go on for years, with little content, and still accept money from patrons. These projects are not hollywood movies, they are little adult story/games, that are not important. Anyone that supports a dev for years for so little content is foolish.

The Graphics in Happy Summer are the only reason that anyone even downloads it. They are superior to many others, but there is next to nothing in content, and Caizer counts on the graphics only, to keep patrons.

Graphics -Very good yes, the only reason anyone downloads it.
Writing - Pretty bad actually, a lot of sentences don't make sense.
Story - What story ?, there isn't enough to be called a story.
Grind - Unbelievable grind for so little content.

Ultimately, not worth supporting since they always put out minor drips of content over long wait times, and have show that habit will likely not change. Who the hell has years to wait for this stuff.

I made the right decision to not play this game for a couple years. Content is finally starting to come out and it's quality and unique. Definitely recommend it. Don't recommend playing the game, however. Instead I'd suggest finding some save files from kind souls who've done us all a favor and gone through the grind. The 5 is soley for fappability, which the latest update earns itself.

It's slow and does not progress as an adult game. So, ultimately super boring and gives me blueballs. The character design is very nice, but if there is nothing going on then what is the point of the game? This game is Terrible.

Never-ending grind, no skip, mediocre content so far, awful English. The graphics are a strength, but not nearly enough to make up for the pointless nightmare grind. There's a reason most games don't do that.
