VN - Ren'Py - Summer Heat [v0.6.1] [Naughty Fox Games]

Loving the game so far.

The story is simple (so far) but certainly not absent. The renders are great.

And Mia, Sophie and Bree are absolutely perfect. All the LIs (including in ember) are beautiful, but those three are also very well written in a way that appeals to me.

I think, in some ways, MC needs to dial back the horny. In some scenes its appropriate and called for. In others, it seems somewhat out of place, but in the end, the writing works.

I'd say this feels like a slow burn, until you realize that as chapter 5 ends, so to does day one. A lot has happened in one day! I find the pacing very much to my liking, however.

I have very high hopes for this game, and look forward to coming back.

FOR DAMN SURE ONE OF MY GREATEST GAME here found!!
The charactors so amazing,and the story is funny,I cant believe myself keep reading every words in this kind of game for hours,and "maybe we could save water together" just laugh me blast...

CANT WAIT FOR MORE COMING.KEEP IT UP

The best renders and models i've seen on this site, the attention to details in the posing and facial expressions is impressive, the way the LIs convey emotion with their eyes is absolutely stunning. The lewd scenes are very hot, with good animations, tons of different angles an some great teasing and building up.

The plot didn't really take off as of right now, mostly focusing in establishing the characters and building up the world, but the dialogue is very well written and the story already had some impactful moments of bonding between the Lis.

Everything here is top notch. Even the plot is getting better update after update. We can see the effort that is behind this and damn... can't wait for newer updates to be honest.

If you haven't tried it yet, I don't know what are you waiting for.

This game is simply gorgeous. The renderings are amazing, exciting and the story is engaging. Each character has its own well-marked personality. At the moment one of the best games I've played. The only suggestion, but it depends on my personal taste, in sex scenes I would like girls to show their faces more when they have orgasms.

PROS
- Renders are excellent, no grainy renders here. Lots of attention to detail, there is an effort to vary the facial expressions, something even the bigger devs don't do.
- Some of the best sex scenes I've ever seen. The added SFX makes them seem x1000 better. Definitely up there with the best AVNs.
- No clicky grind or time-wasting mechanics. 90% VN, 10% freeroam/sandbox. The freeroam elements are straightforward and short.
- Characters actually take off their shoes before entering homes (woow the attention to detail guys).
- The way the UI, phone apps, and menus look and how they are organized is just phenomenal, very nice work.
- I agree with some of the other reviews that writing in the beginning was pretty poor. Some of the dialogue sounded like it was written by ChatGPT. But I won't penalize the dev for something he improved on. The newer chapters writing is decent with mature conversations and minimal filler. The conversation now have somewhat of a meaning or at least leads somewhere. My only hope is that the plot stays down to earth, so many devs eventually go for these convoluted scenarios like drug cartels, mafia, evil govts, superpowers, etc. Keep it simple, IMO.

CONS
- For some reason, If you quit the game and then reopen the game, you lose all your gallery pictures (I never installed any mods nor used old saves).
- So far, its very linear. You cant pick a particular path or stop pursuing a girl you don't like. You see everything in one playthrough. Its like you're being told a story and you're along for the ride. I'll update my rating if this changes.
- Its uhh.. definitely not the most "diverse" game out there lol... literally ALL of the 20 or so characters are caucasian/white. I don't wanna be "that guy" nor do I wish the dev to go full Netflix on us, but the lack of variety hurts. Too much of any one thing is dull.

The renders in Summer Heat are one of the best and captures the sexual tension between the protag and the main LIs really well. Story is coherent enough for character development of the main LIs and hopefully will have a payoff. If you are only in it for the sex, then hopefully the side chicks will be enough.

The rendering skills are excellent, with intricate details on each face and outstanding representation of water droplets on the body while swimming in the pool.

The interactions between each main female character and the protagonist are profound. The only minor drawback is the slow progression of the storyline, but it doesn't diminish the overall excellence. I thoroughly enjoy being in the game.

In the vast sea of choices, girls in this game are undoubtedly one of the finest in this genre. Story is still young but development is very promising and surely going in good direction. A top tier game worthy following in the future. Cheers

Really good for the most part, doesn't feel the need to shower you with content right from the get go and leaves room for things to become more familiar before opening up.
Seems very polished and looks good, the scenes are good and the characters are more interesting than you're used to from similar games. None of them seem too flat or boring but none of them are incoherent either.

What I don't really like is how the game insisst on having a character like Helen. The archetype wasn't funny the first time it was done and kinda feels like an incel rant.

Also I don't know what it is with games like this and trying to shoehorn in a crime/dark/sinister plot. We don't need the hundreth game that has a dark twist and gets the MC involved way over his head.

So far, very HQ renders, likeable cast. But I'd prefer it if we didn't have to go out on crazy adventures with Mr Miller, and could instead just focus on the main cast. They're just more interesting than stripper lady and storeclerk lady

Top notch VN! I tend to say the CGs are the best I've seen so far not only because of the visual quality of the environment, the bodies, the locations - but also because of the composition of the scenes and the style achieved by the devs.

The story is quite simple, cliche, not yet unfolded (v.0.5), but always seems to be believable in it's writing. The MC might be a bit too popular right from the start but well, it suits the genre & feels nice of course as player.. so, no complaints.

The dialogs are great as well. All main characters are likable (except for Helen I guess) and all have distinct personality traits that set them apart.

Music and sound effects are well utilised in key moments to further set the mood of the scene and add a bit more life where it fits.

Overall it's a great, quality game with hot and well written girls, top notch CGs, a simple (til v0.5), yet believable story and well utilised music + good sound design.

Amazing casts and amazing renders + animation
(Mia best girl)
The story is picking up as well and seems like it could be headed into many different direction
Cannot wait for more honestly

Thank you dev and wishing you all the success. You deserve it.

An AVN that superbly drives the narrative in this early part of the story with superb facial expressions to supplement the commentary of the major characters

Its clear that there is a history with the art camp and the adults in the group that is going to have major impact on future episodes.

The most detailed and more expressive of faces is reserved for the female characters , naturally due to it being an adult VN , yet it sells the mystery enough that you can only speculate on to what the future of this AVN will be.

Simply put , whilst its still in its infancy this is a clear sign of how much AVNs have progressed if skilled story and game developers are at the helm.

Its great.

Fantastic game so far. The story and writing is great, well paced and fairly believable, and the game has some of the best looking character models I've ever seen, as well as good animations. Game isn't very grindy and the interactive sections are simple and easy to navigate. I'm really looking forward to more of this and hope the devs keep up the good work they've done so far!

Story: 7/10
Art/Renders: 10/10
Gameplay: 9/10
Animation/Sex Scenes: 8/10

Very good renders but it gets old really fast with all the never ending flirt looks. It's just too cliché: all woman are attracted to the MC from the get go. The feeling that you are playing a porn game never left me. The girls just keep throwing starved looks at you... it's just too much. If you like that sort of silliness this is the one for you. If you like more mature and serious content, stay away.

Thank you and the best of luck.

Version 0.5 (didn't finish this version and won't be following further development)

Wow what a gem!
I treat AVN's just as a fap-to material but this, this is pretty much exception. Really good, captivating and not-obvious story, where some topics are still mysterious and keeping the tension (can't wait for eve development, although these dick-seek and boob/ass flash was a little too forward, having regard to her earlier behavior). Excellent renders, good UI and gallery. Just please...dont make it twenty characters game...focus on these, which u have already, finish/heavily develop their stories, and then maybe add others. Game is pretty multi-threaded already. Good luck dev, and looking forward, will sub u for next update

The attention to detail in the renders are unmatched, no other game comes close. Render quality is that of AAA titles. The dialogs and small details such as changes in facial expressions really bring the great models to life, which in turn makes the story engaging. This is imo the best VN out there

Triple A erotic game. Every single render of every single scene looks like made with love. Not just models by the way. Sets, environment, sound effects. Not a single moment you feel like you are playing a cheap porn game. Dialogues, girls personalities, facial expressions and pyhsical mannerisms are all remarkable. Even giving 5 out of 5 feels like underrating this game. Wishing all the best for the developers.

Luh calm game, nun too opulently ostentatious. Came for a story, and it delivered. Sound design, visuals, and UI are remarkable. The characters have a lot of depth, and the dialogue felt NPC-like at first, but it got better later in the game. The flirty glances were a bit weird and repetitive, but I didn't mind them. There is no impact to your choices or any available routes, and I hope that gets addressed in future updates. I like how you can change the color and font of your name and how every character has their favorite color as their name and/or clothing and/or accessories. Undoubtedly going into one of my favorites.
