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

[Abhai]

Something that I'd like to ask Kthulian with the game slowly winding down;

In the last couple of updates, characters have been whittled down to have their solo endings;

- Ataegina
- Ryo
- Isabella (latest)

1) So does this mean the game will continue to have more solo endings in the future updates ?
Like;

- Enainia (though I guess with her the whole Elf kingdom can be grouped together)
- Cerea
- Jendayi
- Yotul
- Bredita
- Ayna & Katriona (I guess it's possible they could each get solo endings, but given they're both linked to the College)
- Mida


2) Also, what does rejecting the LI's proposal mean? I mean, I love Ryo and Isabella, but I rejected their proposal to stay with each of them (did watch their endings though). Does the rejection (with their disappointed faces) mean they're just completely written out going forward, even if you romanced them till now?

wrong thread.
though glad to see you here as well

 

[Axeleen]

yes but it says S + C ,not C +M ( M for miller and C for Clair )

Man you're slow

 

[Dessolos]

So what are everyone's projections for the next release? I've been kind of busy and haven't been frequenting this thread as much.

End of May or Early June

SOON (TM)

Jokes aside, I'm kind of new to this one and this isn't one that I've been lurking on from before.
What are the general update cycles like here? Every half a year or so?

It varies from dev to dev, game to game, but I would say it always takes longer than you'd like... I think an update every quarter is the "gold standard", twice a year seems to be the norm, and then you have the outliers on both ends of that range. But others feel free to correct me, I haven't been here thaaat long

 

[Hengat]

An update every quarter sounds like a dream, most of the games I follow seem to be around 5 or 6 months it seems.
I'm wondering what specifically the update cycles look like here for Summer Heat is though

Last time it took them a year because they decided to do a big update. I think now they aim for smaller cycles as they did before that year gap.

That's good to know, thank you!

Smaller cycles feel so much easier to keep up with, at least for me. Thankful for sure if it's not a year haha, but who am I to complain. I'll just enjoy it as it comes.

This VN has too many characters, for the level of chapters that the developers release per year, this VN is simply destined to fail, don't get me wrong, I think the overall quality of this VN is unique, and it is one of, if not the best VN on this page, but let's be honest, how many of you see significant plot progress in the next 2 years?

I would love that developers with this level of talent understood that less is more, especially with the VNs, I don't want to be left with the gain of knowing more about the teacher in the camp, but with so many stories and characters and with only one annual update, I don't have much hope.

Sure I, too, don't think it'll be completed one day. It would take years, and I don't know if the dev(s) would stick around that long. But I'm here for the ride, not the destination.

Altough I admit that dropping one update a year is deeply frustrating, ( unfortunately it's the norm for most big names now ), I don't get the feeling that the game has too many characters, especially considering that a lot of popular games here deal with a way bigger cast of characters ( Love interests & side chicks ) but have kept a solid fandom and a consequent support on Patreon over the years.

You already know who I blame for normalizing this.

the next render should be with Eve , because the others have already been

Summer heat is made by two people, not a team of 300 people or more. we can't know exactly how hard it is to make content. one can come to the conclusion that they are stretching everything to suck more money out of the fans.
But I would like to think that they are not greedy people.

You absolutely can, download DAZ and try to render. Unless you are running state of the art gpu you will spend 6h for a single image not even half the quality of this VN.

I prefer to believe that too, of course the money is important for them , more if they are trying to live from this, but too for upgrade their computers and that stuff, anyway i choose to believe that they are good people (i´m speaking to devs in general,of course will be people greedy).

 

[Tony_Soprano]

Let's not overreact ok? I render landscapes in my work and millions of leafs under proper lighting taking my double Xeons a bit of time but hours for those pictures is big misunderstanding...but hey what do I know, I only look at 3d babes and not render them

Well, I hope you're telling the truth, I won't check.

Real question here, u think they are able to live from this? I hardly doubt, therefore I believe that modeling taking them so much time that they simply are not able to speed up. Finally I believe they are not people without any life so also not all the free time they can invest towards this.
Even tho it's painful for us all that those updates take so much time, I see some major reasons for this.

In fact, the fact that updates are rare is common for games of this genre. I just wish that at least twice a year they would release a stable update , average in terms of fullness
