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

[Deleted member 1412183]

Tell me about it

I've said it many times before, but I'll say it again. I am not interested right now in making long games. All of them will be short to medium, but Secret Summer still has another year left, I'm planning, and I've already given 9 updates. You will finish all of the girls' storylines and that's when the story ends.

The reason at least half the games on this site are abandoned is because the games drag on too long and the devs lose passion, get burnout, and other reasons.

Personally, I think it'd be better to get a medium-length game that actually gets competed rather than an unfinished game where you never see the ending.

Man that was an abrupt end felt like a Daniels K story without a girl just leaving and now we're on to the ending. I feel like it could've transitioned better then just cutting off at Man's house. It feels incomplete to me only because I saw this story as trying to help your family before you have to go back to your dad. And you do somewhat but you'll only see the conclusion if you're on a love route. So that is a little disappointing but more of a me problem than a story problem. Dev likes to keep his stories short and I knew it coming in just wish it was stretched out a little longer before going to the endings.

The update was not an ending, which is why it says (Update 1 of ???) And each girl well at the very least have 2 updates each, so that's another. SS isn't ending anytime soon. Well, unless you call a year soon after the game has been in development for 2 years already.

People so worn down by abandoned games that they think a 2 year development cycle is short...

Well thanks, I appreciate your honesty. I know you don’t wanna risk burnout, but this just feels and sounds like you’re ready to move on, which is fine you deserve it. I’ll just keep that in mind moving forward with any of your projects.

If you compare the amount of content for each update as well as how long it took for each update to be released to the public then yeah, it does feel kinda short.

Hehe i know thats why the Kraken. If the bubbles were a little bigger or longer we would have a octopus/jellyfish lookin mushroom head

There have been nine updates, and now we are focusing on the main girls story lines. Each will at the very least get 2 updates, probably three so that's still another 10-15 updates. I don't plan my games to be long, I'm just not interested in making two or three year long games, but there's at least another year of this game.



I'm doing three games at a time and I just finished my first game a couple months ago because I have TOO many ideas. On top of that, I release updates EVERY month and have been doing so for the past 2 years.



Yes, just look at my replies on this page and you'll find all the information you need!

you are doing right in fact...but i fear to see a game rushed becouse of too manyideas..lkike happened to Girlshouse for example..

you have a point but selfishly I would want the game to be longer because I would want more time with Norah and Irene

I know you probably won't understand and you'll probably think I'm crazy but my favorite part of the game is not the sex

my favorite part of the game is the romantic dates with Norah and Irene

don't get me wrong I really really love having sex with Norah and Irene

but for me the Romantic dates make the sex scenes a hundred times more special

This just made my day, Yuyu Hakusho (the anime this line refers to) is one of my most favorite animes of all time.
I have a lot of good memories watching it. Glad to know dev SuperWriter values it highly as well

I'm sorry if it comes off like I'm ready to move on, because that's not the case. I'm excited to work on every update which is why I release so often, and I always give it 100%. The game simply will not be long because that is how it is planned and it has been from the very beginning.

If you compare the amount of content for each update as well as how long it took for each update to be released to the public then yeah, it does feel kinda short.

I release pretty often though. At least every month and give about 20 minutes of gameplay each time. Because I write at the very minimum 8,000 words and it takes most adults 200-300 words to read a minute. So 8,000/300 = 26 minutes.

 

[Deleted member 1412183]

tried to take it as a compliment people who love your stories so much they don't want it to end I myself wish I had more dates but I understand and it takes me longer to finish the updates since I can't read

I have a reading disability remember
thank God you included a self voicing option

or I would be fuckd

I see what you're saying, people wouldn't complain if they didn't care about the game, but there's plenty more story to come and I'm going to write and render it to the absolute best of my ability and give you guys a good game.

Ren'py (the game application these games are created on) actually has the self voice, so happy you're able to enjoy the game, despite your disability. That's awesome

thank you I was actually surprised that you put so much into the dates usually when their dates in these vn games they usually go to dinner and that's it

but the dates in this game feel like mini love stories

and now that I think about it Norah date was special too

which reminds me don't forget you promised put Norah in sexy lingerie wearing a cowboy hat and her hair like this

This game near finish ? ... in terms of plot.

 

[Dark_FOX]

will there be a harem ending? it's just that the plot seems to have hints, but I didn't see them in the genres

if its like pp it will have a short harem ending the rest is build up

 

[Deleted member 1412183]

Each girl has a couple of updates left, so maybe like a year more of development.

Yes, but not your traditional harem. Please read my latest posts on thread for all the info and details

 

[RareFishSticks]

Why this game so shallow, like few click and *BAZ* Irene solo route. (and no "harem route"? Wth, are you kidding me?) It's so hollow. And where moments from all these screenshots? Did they got cut? v0.9, HA! More like v0.2.\
What a let down, seemed pretty good at first.
