Ren'Py - Happy Summer [v0.7.3r] [Caizer Games]

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.

Yes, I would also like there to be more "action" in this game. Yes, I would also like the game to be available as version 1.0 already.

But that just shows that the game is good. The three girls are all sweet as sugar.

No content for 3 years! Empty game: empty dialogues, empty characters, empty script, almost no explicit scenes...
There were still hopes before... But now I can with such slow work, you can say for sure-the author is a real fraud.
I hope people stop supporting it!

The comments say it all tbf. 2 years in the making, I read, and no content and i have to agree and after checking his previous game, he is not in it for anything but money. Just, don't waste your time and don't waste your money.

Almost 2 years that the game is out and you keep on grinding forverer for still almost 0 content. So sad since the game and graphics are really nice. The story itself is not bad but again it is intented to be a porn game and even if I get that dev want to extend his income period, he really needs to deliver some content if he don't want his game to continue dying slowly.

I had a high hope after playing my lovely sara but After wasting 10s of hours. I can say this is the worst grinding game ever. There is vary little contant. Only this is good about this game is just. The render. Not recommended

An insanely slow-burning slice of life that can only be explained as a money-milker from the dev. Unique models, nothing-happening story. / / If you're here for a great game, go somewhere else. It will leave you stressed and annoying rather than satisfied.

I thought I'd give an honest review of this game, because many reviews so far are just venting frustration at the state of the game. Sadly, many of the complaints are justified.

The Good

- The art and character models are fantastic. I love this style of art, it's not realistic but that's it's charm. Rosie is super hot!
- The 'life meter' game mechanics are pretty neat, copied from The Sims. I'm surprised more sandbox games haven't implemented this gameplay.
- The animations (what little there is) are smooth and very well done. I could watch Rosie on the tread mill all day.
- The UI is pretty good, but the map button needs to be made more obvious.
- Can be surprisingly fun if you use the cheat mod and walkthrough.

The Bad (oooooh boy....)

- Game is frustrating and tediously repetitive if you do not use the cheat mod and walkthrough.
- The grind...my god the grind. Using the cheat mod makes it more bearable, but even with it it's still there.
- There are not many events, and only one sex scene (so far), and they can be easily missed or impossible to find without the walkthrough.
- The dev is clearly not an English speaker, and while the Engrish is real, you can basically understand what is going on. The game would be so much better with a proof reader. Some potentially emotional moments are completely ruined by bad translation.
- Game updates are incredibly slow, with only very small amounts of added content.
- The life needs mechanics are cool, but without the cheat mod they just serve to frustrate and slow you down. Nothing worse than missing an event window because you need to use the toilet.

The Ugly

- There has been the addition of a couple of side characters, neither of which look that good or interesting. It's depressing to think development time is going to be wasted on them given updates are already so slow and small.
- Other than a relationship meter with a % bar, there is no indication of what events are available with each character. A walkthrough is sort of mandatory.

I have developed a love - hate relationship with this game. There is a lot to love about it, but it is ruined by all the things I hate about it. I originally played it a year ago, and playing it again now I enjoyed the new content but there is so very little. Unless the dev recruits help, it won't be completed in our lifetime.

If you do decide to check this game out, make sure you download the cheat mod and walkthrough. Despite the frustrations, it's worth a solid look.

Please don't waste your time playing this game.
The game has been released for more than a year, with very little Sexual content, the game has little content, and the development is extremely slow.
The game design is very bad, you can’t skip the text, every time you want to talk to someone, the only thing you can do is keep clicking and clicking mouse.
I think my mouse lifespan has dropped 50%

Really promising until they started introducing things like the "you get sick and can't do anything fun and there is no cure" patch. Now each new version promises to be more disappointing than the last one. Recommend waiting and seeing if the game ever reaches completion instead of downloading the incremental releases, maybe if you do that you won't get this bad vibe from it.

There's absolutely nothing in this game. It's grindy af, but there's no reward at all. Renders are nice, but that's just it. Not worth any time spent. Better play anything else really. It's been like this for months now. I've watched it since 0.1. not really worth it

-Good graphics.
-Not content of history and interactions, for the year and a half that the game has, this is absurd, it is garbage, as the author can be so slow, perhaps the money he receives eats it.

Ok images and animation but jack shit content and updates almost never bring anything new to the game maybe 1 extra scene that doesnt further any kind of storyline, not even worth the download at this point.
Maybe in another year or 2 it might get half way to an introductory storyline

This game could be good...but it isn't.

Let's start with the good.

- I personally really like the art style. Cartoonish but not totally unrealistic.
- The animation of the girl running on the treadmill is really good.
- I like the two main girls. Sweet and cute.

Now the bad...

- Very grindy. You have all these stats to keep up. Use the toilet, take a shower, eat food and you need to grind a lot of money to pay rent. You need to watch TV, or play games. If any one of these stats is too low, MC won't do anything because he gets sad or something.
- Very small updates. Most of the updates just have a couple events and the time frame of the updates is way too long for such little content.
- Sexual content is basically non-existent. You see a boob and get a handjob once.
- Very little story content, honestly, I'm not even sure what the story is about. Most of the grind events are repeatable, but they always have the same dialog. They'e just there to waste time.
- A couple of the side-girls have zero content.
- No hint system for the sandbox. You'll get lost. There is no indicator that says "End of Content" so you really have no idea if you're done or not.

At this point, this game is basically a life-sim of a guy living in his house and doing his daily chores while the girls watch TV or sit in their rooms. Hardly any content despite being 1.5 years old. I'll give this a 2 for the cuteness factor, but it's a 1 star game.

The animations are scarce though, the game has little content and the development is very very slow, maybe an event or two per update, in case the game is prepared with repetitive mechanics to support its little content.

The story does not play out well, things happen to delay the sex scenes and lengthen the game as much as possible.

I was about to start this review by saying this supposed sex game is trying too hard to be the Sims. But then, I realized the analogy would be falling flat because the Sims actually has more sex than this. A lot more. Unmodded.

This one easily contends for being the most mind-numbingly boring adult game I have ever played. You know some of these Russian QSPs that have a gazzilion repetitive tasks, making you want to bang your head on the keyboard until you concuss yourself? I would argue that this is even worse. Because at least those QSPs reward you from grinding your life away with some RL porn with Aletta Ocean or some shit. Yes, you have probably seen it already but at least it's something nice to look at after 8 hrs of doing the same task and calling it "playing". In this, the reward is two lines of dialogue with each update and maybe a handy scene if you are lucky.

Honestly, I was surprised to see it's still in development. But then again people have paid for literal bathwater on the internet so I guess everything has its audience. As far as I'm concerned, there is only one thing to do about this game. Skip and look for something else. And yes, I mean skip pirating it, in times of global lockdown bandwidth is valuable.

Really liked the game and the art, it could improve in many many ways...hope creator does not drop this, I really think it has a lot of potential. would love to see more action and ntr routes also, sister character is the best...it could go only with this char and be an excellent game
