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

[Sweet Force]

This felt a little curious. "Polishing" to me should be just tidying things up a little if you spot little errors and stuff, or maybe you play through and think of something that will really benefit a particular scene. It doesn't feel "normal" to me that prior to polishing things would be a "mess", it should already be pretty much ready by that point. So is "polishing" the wrong word to use here, or am I taking it in the wrong context? I feel given the apparent amount of polishing/time spent on polishing, that they are not using the word correctly...

The interpretation of "polishing" also seemed strange to me, I suppose it's because I associate polishing with polishing a car or something that within the entire manufacturing process takes a short time. I would use the word "Refinement", I think it would be better understood. (It's not a complaint it's just a clash of interpretations in my opinion).

Just yesterday I was thinking that this could be the game with the slowest pace on the forum, at the end of version 0.5, 24 hours have not yet passed into the story. I think the developers said they were going to speed up the passage of time in the game, it would help more people put Summer Heat in their tops.

Dude, when will people here stop trying to blindly assume good intentions all the time from devs and just simply be realistic ? ... It is clear as glass how "polishing" by the devs of this game is used as a way to artificially stretch dev time for gains. Simple. Everything you said is true, and is precisely a proof of my point.

When devs spend 30% of time on last touches, either they lied about update being finished beforehand, or they artificially stall the release for gains.

To be fair, I'll stop it when people stop coming in and moaning that devs do nothing but stall and grift and milk from their followers. It's bloody tiring when you're trying to talk about a game and all the comments are the same old same old about "intentional" delays.

Hahaha is it the end of August?!))) But most likely, something will happen and the release will be in early September)))

 

[humantrashpile]

is anyone taking bets that the polishing will require postponing the release? or we still riding high on hope and cope tonight?

 

[bigdickwaterland]

In fact, one update per year is a crime for such a game. I hope there won't be 300 renderers)))

 

[JiiEf]

Eh, the art in this game is second to none but it does look like it comes with a cost. Near-BADIK level times between episodes but quite a bit less material. Oh well, still something to follow.

250. inflation (aka content drought) will make it feel like its 16x250=4000 instead

So still a release for summer after all. Unless the polish ruin everything

Phew. Still in time for summer. I've heard if you play the new update when it's not summer time, all the characters just transform into Helen.

Is announcing a release date one month out common? I feel like a lot can go wrong in that amount of time. I think I've only ever seen devs announce a release date maybe 2 weeks out at most or just unceremoniously plop it out while I'm not paying attention.

They did say it could slip further if they run into problems:

"There are still a couple of variables that could influence the dates, but if anything changes we'll let you know in the last 0.6 status update on the 16th of August."

If my memory serves me correctly, version 0.5 was also announced like this.

Did it come out on the exact announced date for v. 0.5? I remember playing it a couple of months after it had already released so I wouldn't know.

Look friend, I found the dev log where they announced the date of the 0.5 update,

If we analyze that everything is repeating itself as it was last year, the people who enjoyed the previous update will enjoy this version too.

I personally just wish there'd be a bit more transparency from the devs as to what made the cycles for updates explode in length. I understand it is the first game from them so there are naturally going to be hiccups and as a game goes on the time for dev cycles will increase due to branching storylines etc. All in all, it is one of my favorite newer VNs and hope it contiunes.

Bwahahahahahaha......two and a half months away hahaha....

Oh man...this thread gonna be good today!

I think you misread that, it was a screenshot of last year's release announcement showing that they announced it a month early like they have this year (end of August release this year).

You know you're right. I did.

Moving on then...

Hello everyone. From what I have watched and read from outside, the guys who made the game are either lying about the update or they are purposely delaying it and milking people. I'm sorry but they are milking people. If it is taking this long at the beginning of the game story, we cannot know what will happen to this update in the future, but in my opinion, I would not be surprised if I see that the game has been abandoned soon.

Best regards to everyone
