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

[homejorz]

This game is damn great. Gotta say Love the milf characters. Especially the sister. Stuff like that are the best versions of milfs

 

[dreamfdr]

I think you're missing the point.

The point is, we still don't know where the game is headed. Good, bad, nonesense, reasonable, no one knows, so what's with the sudden conclusion?

Does it really matter where it's going? Just enjoy the present moment.

Correction on the writing. It's not 'bad'. Moreso just responding to the bad writing sentiment and can see where it's coming from. I think the writing is very very average to a lot of the works on the site. I'm 100% fine with tropes as long as that is what the dev wants as well. Original writing is a myth.

Litmus test for me:
Characters: If you completely remove how they look, can you explain them and have others instantly know who you are describing?
My first thoughts are the childhood shy friend and the goth chick. Can't describe the 'redhead' from her friend

Plot: If you were reading the VN without pictures, would you wanna keep reading? (With the core understanding, that yes you will miss some context without the images.)

I still give a ton of props for the effort the devs are putting in and the product. I just want the community to grow and improve each others view, cause the end results increases everyone's enjoyment.

Without images I could absolutely describe the insanity of miller or the eldrich terror of helen, even the professionalism of mike. U may has skill issue

Well said. IDK why people are so desperate to know where the game is heading.
These are to enjoy the ride, like you said. In the present.

Well, it wasn't me who started to talk about the quality of something that doesn't even exist yet and there's almost zero information about what it's going to be like, ignoring the fact that we still have to wait and see.

 

[CHAD-MAN]

so, still 2-3 months to go, at least?

damn, this has became worsebetter than badik in quite short time
not that these two can be compared in terms of average content per update...yet wtf cares, just keep those monthlies rolling and bucks coming

Thing is BADIK is usually 2-3 hours long. Add that with already shit ton of branching paths and you have a huge ass game, while Summer Heat is probably not even 2 hours long in total yet.

I love them both but BADIK timefream with updates and playtime its still vastly superior.

Hi
Will there be a new update for this game?

ofc, that was my whole point (though probably not that clearly put there ).
this game has only started, and already it has 7+ months update cycles for updates that arent that "contentful".
one can only imagine, if the game continues, how long it will take when a proper branching starts, and if dev decides to go for "bigger" updates and slower development because of that
love the game, yet im not holding my breath for it...not spatreon either, so it isnt my place to criticize much..if patrons are happy, thats between them and the dev.

cant you read the title, dooh..in summer, ofc
kidding aside, still far away (or close enough, whatever your time perception could be), a few months, june/july probably.

Same. I'm worried too for whats comming, and while I do trust the devs, its not going to get any easier down the line to develop what at least it seem like Northpx and Robison have in mind. So much attention to details is not viable in the long run unless the planned dev time yearly... and while I okay with that, makes my heart hurt thinking how much we have to wait for it.

But this game and the love (aka quality) the devs put into it deserves to have a beginning and an end, I have nothing but support to give and hope they make do.

I don't know where you were headed, but you definitely wound up in the wrong thread

nope, just wait and see, wait and see...
im not gonna bet my bodyparts on it (as some other user in some other thread), yet just wait and see...if my prediction is correct or not, just wait and see
#sawthefuture


p.s.
atm it is at (almost) 5 months already, and based on the latest update news, perhaps i was even too optimistic there (yet hence that "+" )

OK, I believe you if you say you can see the future (I can't), but in that case don't use the present tense: "and already it has 7+ months update cycles."
We'll see what the future has in store for this project. I still have high hopes for this dev team.

yeah, you know it is hard to adjust sometimes, when one is a time-traveler.
so i forgot to put there a bit more explanation, something like "5 months now, and most probably, it will have 7+ months (if not more) when the next update drops".

also good for your having high hopes for this project...my hopes are a bit lower, not for game quality drops, yet updates frequencies...though nothing we didnt see already, in multiple occasions/games unfortunately.

Devs say this Ch5 update is Ch5 and Ch6 together and next update New Ch6 will be back to normal size. So this Ch5 if takes 7 months will be like two 3.5 month updates released at same time. Next update may 3.5 months after this one. Not so bad time to wait.

 

[Don Flamingo]

No one showed up, the art teachers aren't there, and the hot dogs were left out. The plans fell apart. The teachers left are panicking looking to keep them occupied ("working out") while they figure out how to change gears to accommodate what's left of the camp and its limited resources. I think the story is fine, it's just that players are expecting tropes that aren't materializing the way they expect them to.

You got it. Story is good. Maybe some click through story too fast then not understand why everything happens could be the problem.

well, as always, only the time will tell.
hope you are right though, as i always do in similar cases (games i love, first red flags appearing).

 

[StreamSteam]

5 months no update

 

[Krynh]

Perhaps when

5 months no update

You coud always pay them money to go faster.

 

[cheesetriangles]

you could always pay and get the same pace of development without changing anything at all

estimates their earnings at 1-4k a month. With two people developing and splitting that it's far from enough money to live on so they probably do this part time. If you can only work on a thing part time while still needing to have a full time job of course development is going to be a lot slower than someone making a few hundred thousand dollars a year and can work on the game full time. More money also allows you to purchase much better hardware to speed up rendering a lot. Development progress goes from red to black by way of green.

So you totally gonna ignore what their patreon goals say?!
