I really enjoyed the game up until this update, now I'm not really sure. I'm sticking around for Sophia, but Jesus at this point I think she can do much better than the MC. There's a lot of care and attention put into the renders, but the whole strip club seemed like filler, a lot of non-avoidable instances with characters I could give less of a fuck about, and an introduction to an AOA Academy side plot. I am still reeling as to why we can't object to going in the first place. Maybe at this point, I am just tired of playing as brain-dead horny alcoholic MCs or something. However,the romantic scene with Sophia felt almost perfect.

Dont skip dialogue just for the sex scenes and you wont have just 20min of gameplay.
If you read quickly and not syllable by syllable like in the first grade of elementary school, then 20 minutes is enough for reading. Moreover, it's not a novel by Dostoevsky there.

Really enjoyed the update. I played the last one in June, so I didn't get the full year-long wait like other guys, so it's gonna feel extra shitty waiting for the next major update.
As far as the game itself goes, the renders, facial expressions, the art in general is just... Awesome. This is top quality shit, 10/10, best in class.
The story is kind of just okay though, I really don't care at all about the Miller and club shit at all. I don't particularly like how a lot of these games try so hard for a DEep, dARk AnD exTRa engaGing story. It's a harem-ish porn game, let us coomers sit back and enjoy the characters instead of shoehorning what is inevitably going to be wasted dev time on a mediocre at best dark story. Feels like more than half of the update was spent on introducing the club characters, fleshing out Miller as a character and wasting time there, when really, I just want to read and experience more of the art camp girls, who've already been established as the main selling point of the game, and really, the whole reason any of us are here.

Are the many "getting closer to X" choices actually doing something in Summer Heat for the important scenes ?

I mean i just completed a Bree-only playthrough (in which i avoided doing any choice that had the MC "getting closer to" any other women that wasn't Bree, and even during freeplay sessions avoided to talk to anyone that wasn't Bree to see if it made the MC even closer to her).

And i noticed in the end of v0.5 i still had the scene with Mia coming to cuddle and the option to accept her giving a blowjob to the MC was available despite i had taken no "getting closer to Mia" choice for the whole playthrough ?
Yeah, they don't seem to do anything (so far). At least as far as I can tell.
I don't know about that specifically, but just by playing the update with URM I saw many of those variables constantly getting called for scenes variations. Talking with Bree in ch2 and ch4, flirting with Sophie when she falls in your lap, Eve rant, deleting the photos for Eve etc. In fact is one of the games with the most variables constantly getting called, haven't done multiple playthroughs, especially not from the start, so not sure what scenes they completely skip, but for scene variation(both renders and dialogue) there are a lot.

Sure the amount of renders is large, i really like the writing and the quality is top, way better than other top games like badik imo.
The problem will be dev time. Like Ocean's games for example, they look visual top sure, but they will never be finished at the pace they are going. Add to that it's still early game, we are at day 1, it will only get longer and more complex due to branching and side characters.

I really hope the devs will find a good balance, as i'd really hate to see this game ending up like Summer's Gone, which won't be completed in a other 20 years.
This game comes nowhere close to BaDik lmao. BaDik updates are packed to the brim with content. 3-5 hours long each update. Summer heat is kinda vanilla and boring. The pacing is meh. Almost a year of dev time we got a update thats like a hour and 20 mins long at best. Story won't go anywhere for a long time.

A year and barely an hour of content. Very sad.
There are 19,000+ lines of code added in this update alone. Unless you're skipping every LI's content then you should end up with ~8 hours of content.

So this is not a harem game where the MC gets all the LI's????
I'm honestly not entirely sure at this point. The guys at Naughty Fox are tracking hundreds of variables for decisions you make with each LI's route (and in general), but there doesn't seem to be any definitive indication of a path that results in a full on harem.

What is seems like to me is that Mia, Eve, Sophie, Bree, and Kate will probably have a path where you can romance all of them, but other characters like Cass, Jenni, Livia, Hannah, Lainey, and Iris (Rainbow) might be strictly side content.

While the story does offer the player choices keep in mind that all stories follow some type of main plot with subplots to keep things interesting. The strip club aspect is a subplot that is intended to progress the main plot, and while it might feel contrived it does at least follow some logic given the demographic that the MC and Miller fall into.

You're grossly underestimating playtime for both games. To avoid this thread from derailing into a conversation about an entirely unrelated game; this update took me ~8 hours to work through due to following all of the paths for each LI. It's the same size as all of the past updates combined, so if you're clocking in ~1 hour of gameplay then you're most likely skipping out on huge sections of content.

I meant quality and interactions/romance with the LI's are in my opinion way better than in badik.
Contentwise i don't think there is anyone which comes even close to DPC...that being said, the shit he pulls with long unneeded sfw animations and his latest brain fart with 60fps animations for a fricking VN in renpy is hilarious.

Its great to see with this title shows how far AVNs and its dev software have come along. The renders are wonderful as is its story despite its infancy. It feels, so far , pleasant to play.

It is a shame that great content takes so long to produce as the teams for this genre are usually small. I hope that changes not just for this AVN but for more as this genre gets much more popular.
