VN Ren'Py Completed Secret Summer [v1.0 Epilogue] [SuperWriter]

[Arnaud]

The only thing this game is lacking (and why I'm not playing it) is animated scenes (still images aren't fappable to me, unfortunately)... I've played once before and it was a very good experience if you're into non-animated games tho!

 

[J.R.]

no preg scene?

There is.

 

[myself]

NOOOO the dev had to leave the FFM/orgy to the part 2 of the game, damn u !!!

 

[FlyinginTime]

Is there any new content after the beta update?

 

[mcclem5257]

So, I assume that we aren't able to drop the Epilogue files into the Complete Beta version and must play the Epilogue as a Standalone?

 

[JohnF95zone]

Hot dem this game is completed, skipped under my radar completely, I have not even play or heard of it before.

So, how do I play this? First, the complete beta and then epilogue?

 

[JohnF95zone]

off the top of my head Artemis, Chasing Sunsets, and Dreams of Reality are all directly connected (by characters appearing) to Leap of Faith. Dreams of Reality contains an obvious reference to being connected to Pale Carnations but not 100% if the timeline works on that one. I think all the crossovers are well done as in they are really cool if you know but dont detract if you dont

Interesting. The link between Dreams of Reality to Pale Carnations (have not played this one yet), is it related to Cindy, the bar she works or her co-worker?

 

[Woodalicca]

Can someone tell me If there's any new content in this completed version, please?

 

[jkst]

So do i download the game then download the epilogue or the game already has the epilogue?

 

[Vince69]

Does the game at least have the sex scenes animated now? Because the last time I played it, it had no animation.
The renders look much better than before... The story was kinda decent... I hope it developed well...

 

[lordfridge9]

There is more story to tell, yes. Which will continue in a sequel like I said. And if I decide not to do a sequel for whatever reason, I will do a DLC that continues the storyline and ends it in a more complete manner.

I keep saying it over and over, but the game is NOT done. Neither is Picture Perfect

Ey yo, my brother in FAP, why the new account??

 

[Jonboy80]

Oh, sweet. Just realized this was made by the same team as Picture Perfect. I loved PP, so definitely looking forward to this title.

 

[D3xzalias]

Shouldn't the tag say on hold since superwriter is just pausing development of it

from Superwriter's discord:

Like I said, I WILL return to this game

 

[kcaldw]

I think that the DEV did a good job with this game although he ended the game originally with endings nobody liked he did go back and give us the Epilogue that gave everyone the closure that we were looking for. So great job SuperWriter. I am greatly hoping that you continue where you left off in this game. Just work on what you are currently working on and come back to this game when you feel the time is right for you.

Just to add my 2 cents to this argument about "unconstructive criticism" in the comments:
I don't think this is the place for constructive criticism in the first place, otherwise why do we even have the Reviews tab? Sure, it would help if the comments are useful and positive, but I don't think people need to be called out because they typed something like "gaem suxx xD" without offering any useful feedback. If they act like some entitled clown then yeah call them out for that, but not on the reason of "Your comment have no value" or "Why aren't you offering good feedback?"

If it's the opposite reaction, like a comment saying "Oh I really like this" we aren't gonna start asking them to write out what exactly that they like now are we? It is not off-topic because they are talking about the game, it just that their comment boiled down to a Yes/No answer. They aren't beholden to anyone to explain themselves.

While I don't agree to the comment claiming the game to be trash, I can't agree to SuperWriter's respond and setting that expectation on every user of this site either. No objectivity? Only promote things you like while trashing things you don't like? Wow, it's like they are humans with bias or something. But I'm certain this is something that only happen in pirate sites like this one, and not on every other platform out there.

So yeah, that's it from me. Sorry for the rant.

It's your game, you do what works for you.

Is the Epilogue meant to be a stand alone or will it be integrated into the "complete" game? (if it's going to be integrated I'll wait to check it out, if it's a stand alone I may look sooner)

 

[Guyin Cognito]

The Epilogue here should be a standalone thing, for policy reasons related to Steam (as I understand it).

 

[indio68]

Probably the Patreon versions. Also the OP is a bit confusing: The first links are the main game with the "old" endings as before. The second one marked as "Epilogue only" are the new additional scenes, but it's an own game (I think SW said he had to do that because of steam, they do not allow it to make a full game again on Patreon).

Info: Koga has already a new mod version where he integrated the epilogue to the main game

do yoiu think i can download that versaion and continue from my last save wich was before the beta (wich is the main link)..hope there are all girls ending at least..and nothing left in the air..thanks

 

[Crowangel]

on two seperate projects now you have done identical things.. set up a good story then rushed the endings.. even if there is going to be more in this 'anthology' wouldnt it make sense to build on the popularity of your established work and actually deliver on the plot points put in place instead of and eg here for Secret summer.. in the previous update each character (almost) had their set up plot rushed and time skipped through instead of taking the time to give each story its dues.. there was no reason to fast track any of them tales with the exception of the pregnancy but even that could have been spread out or saved for the epilogue with more content for that story put in the gap between.. the game competition again rushed with no real conclusion that didnt feel like it was put in as a fast way to bring the story to a close.. EVERYTHING about these last couple of episodes has felt rushed and like you just couldnt be bothered with the characters or story any more and i know this isnt the case as your a good writer but your closing skills for both PP and this are terrible.. it makes all the fun of the reading of this VN suddenly feel like a giant pin was stuck into it and an almost immediate deflation occured leaving the reader feeling like they have just been massivly let down by what (both times) looked to be a very interesting story

 

[Porthas]

All I can say about "endings" and such is, if you have plans to epilogue, make DLC, tie-in's or sequels, it's probably a good idea to share those plans in one way or another. Ideally in-game, kinda like Dragon Age Inquisition with Solas, pre-Trespasser. I don't think you're charging more for the extra ending stuff, so that won't be an issue like it was for the Trespasser DLC, which basically gave Inquisition its true ending. Or Mass Effect 3 and its rather abrupt and awkward original ending, which had to be fixed later on with in-story edits and an epilogue. People seem to like epilogues.

If you don't share those plans and the ending are kinda abrupt and/or don't tie up all loose ends, people will notice and get frustrated.

Just my two cents.
