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

Man, I just hope they'll release a very good update, because the more time they'll take to launch, the greater expectation, demand and criticism they'll get from players, and rightly so.

They promised a release this year! I even subscribed to the highest tier because of it!

(no, just kidding)

Status Update #63


Hello everyone!

This week we've been focusing on animations.

Animations are one of those things we try to improve on with each cycle because they're so requested. Back in the day when we had no animations, we kept hearing that we need them, and lots of them! We didn't really have any scenes to put them in then, but now we do. In fact, we're starting to reach the kind of content where we can make a whole bunch of them, especially for the main girls.

We also have our animation rig up, and the next step is waiting for graphic cards to open up the path to anything we can think of. We luckily managed to avoid the crazy spike in RAM prices, but Fs in the chat for those who were planning to build new setups now or in the future.

We still have a couple of animations we'd like to add, as well as new renders. We also tried a multi-animation test for a scene where the animation doesn't loop, but transitions between angles like in a video. It's a bit odd for now, but we'll continue working on it and see if it's worth keeping. This is one of our goals for some of the longer scenes, so we'd like to get it right the first time.

Android also got plenty of attention this week, and we've been considering if we should release it after the PC version. It works as intended, mostly. However, the in-game phone and laptop content don't really agree with that small screen. Unless you're rocking some heavy prescription lenses at least.

Most of the bugs should now be cleared, at least from what we've managed to comb through. Dialogue is also starting to feel clean. We have a few scenes left to edit properly on our end, and then it's time to get some fresh eyes on the update to see what we've missed.


What we've done this week, basically:

A lot of DUG stuff (Dress-Up-Game)

New backups and NAS change coming

Android scaling and edits

Android phone/laptop edits

Pokethroughs

Script edit

Dialogue edit

Coding and changes

Animation tests

New Animations

SFX work


The monthly special poll is also running, and currently it's a pretty even split between Sophie and Eve, with Ms. Hill in third place.

Cheers and thanks for reading!

Robison & Npx

Thanks again, Wolf! I'm hoping we get the update before the year ends. I need my lewd/sexual scene with Ms. Hill!

My prediction for next week's update:

"Great news, everyone! Since it's no longer summer we decided to put Summer Heat temporarily on hold. However, since we promised a release this year, here it is:

Dress-Up-Game!

Yes, in this standalone game you get to pick the clothes that your favorite girl is going to wear! What color stripes will Eve have on her shirt? Will it be purple (again)? Or maybe green? Or will she embrace her more feminine side and choose pink stripes today? It's a thrill a minute!

Note: Version .01 will only have Eve in it since we didn't finish any of the other girls' content yet due to spending way too much time animating the pages of a book flipping in the wind in the background of this one scene of that other game. Sorry."

The update has to be insanely good to make up for 1.5 year of wait time

Even with a very good update, the criticism will overshadow it because of the time it took.

Just imagine it's 0.5 all over again. If that's the case, this time they will hopefully get a massive drop in Patreon subscribers and maybe have a wake up call. But let's hope it will be good and will release before next summer.

 

[John 7]

The game is a real money-making machine; the excuses they come up with every week are just ridiculous… “We’re working on this, we’re working on that…” They might as well release an update every six months. And now they’re in a bind because they waited too long; they know that after the update, most players will cancel their payments. I mean, who wants to pay for the next 15 months for nothing?

 

[Just Jericho]

Seeing as how we are now already at 3 pages worth of nearly nonstop bitchposts about Summer Heat's development time since the last status update, it seems an apt time to remind people of the warning on the OP as well as the staff note.

We have an off-topic thread for this very reason, folks. If you want to circle-jerk bitchpost about the developers, or game patrons, or patreon crowdfunding, or development time, or how hurt your feefees are for it taking so long, etc..., please take all that to the off-topic thread. Leave this thread free for discussion about the game itself. Please stop distracting from important topics like Kate's tits and how well they fit in her top.
