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

[shitass1001]

We really need fucking scenes with Sophia. The next update better have more fucking scenes of her, or this game really is not as play worthy.

Do you mean fucking scenes like sex scenes? Or scenes that involve Sophia, intimate or not. If the former then I am sorry to say but there haven't been any sex scenes with Sophia, and if the latter then according to my information in this update Sophia steps on a fucking landmine and explodes, sorry man.

On a serious note, does anyone else read Sophia's lines with a posh British accent?

I'd be surprised if there's sex scenes with any MG for another 3 or 4 chapters at least. Although I do think there will be mild lewd scenes in the next chapter.

MILD LEWD SCENES!?!!? I don't think my pp can handle that much...

I would like to see sex scenes for Sophia. Right now there aren't any which is very disappointing.

Well Matt I regret to inform you that there most likely wont be any sex scenes with Sophia in the near future, I hope you will stick with the game anyway though

You just had to spoil it for me.
Funny enough, I figured there wouldn't be any scenes of her in the next update.

I have to disagree with this. Of course it mostly comes down to what different people like when it comes to visual novels, I like romance and having the sex have meaning, other people don't. But I think that some stories just wouldn't work if the love interests just threw themselves at the MC (or were "easy").
Also I think having a slow burn helps build up tension so when the scene finally comes it feels more rewarding, like I dont think a Mia blowjob scene happening at the end of day one would be the same as a mia blowjob scene at the end of day 4-5 after a lot of buildup.

Well i like good romance and slow burn is fine too, but not every LI needs to be.
Also keeping the story interesting and making the slow burn feel natural, is what many devs fail imo.
In many games the slow burn feels more like artificial stalling than anything else (especially if the LI is popular) and a boring/bad story can't carry slow burn, just makes me abandon the game as i lose interest.

Bree already furiously jacking off

Since she's a girl, it's called "Jilling" off.

I definitely wouldn't go after her if she was indeed, "jacking" off lol

If I wanted to wait multiple years for a proper sex scene, I'd just build a time machine and re-live high school.

Be patient, your wish will come true. Some game's development takes longer than other games. For example, some games have more supportive patrons than others, and a stronger team of artists and coders. The more support a game musters, the higher chances the update will be released. Some games can take 1-2 years to finalize, whereas some other games can take just months. All depends on the game's patron support and the development team of the game.

Hello, everyone!

Status update #41 coming up! This week we've been hitting the remaining content hard. Mainly renders, but also a couple of animations. Not much remains when looking at the screenplay, and the biggest task soon is rendering everything out. Including, of course, all the animations. Last weekend we did some playtesting and made some editing decisions. We decided to cut a couple of planned animations as they were not necessary. This saves us some rendering time, which will be reallocated to other, more important animations. The kind people play for.

Looking back on the chapter and its content, it's one big ass update... It will effectively double the size of the game in one release. Speaking of chapters, future updates will no longer be called "chapters". There are many reasons for this and they are all over the place, but you can expect the updates to be called 0.6, 0.7, 0.8 etc. in the future instead. For the time being, we will still be referring to CH05 as CH05 instead of 0.5.

We also did quite a bit of editing and scripting this week, including some Ember and phone content for future cha... updates. Additionally, we are toying with the idea of an Android version. There are some issues regarding Android which is why we haven't released one so far (mainly relating to the in-game phone), but if we could solve those issues it would be a great thing to offer to people without computers. This is not a promise nor a very high priority, but the thought is there.

What else...? Coding, SFX, and plenty of morphs were created as well. We also did a round of fixing on some finished renders and some post-processing.

All in all, it was a good week.

Cheers!

Why? We have no idea how many renders are in the queue. Could be the next 2 weeks for all we know. Whatever it is, I am excited.

Considering it took as much time from the first release to the last update as it has for this next update (until now), that's probably to be expected.

 

[GPsarakis]

If it's going to be so big as they say I hope there's a "update only" option as I'd rather not have to download the whole game over.

Hmmm...This seems to indicate that future updates will be shorter than the previous ones, possibly due to this one getting quite (a bit too?) large?
Mixed feelings about this, as I prefer quality over quantity, but as long as updates in the future won't be tiny tiny, OK.
Most of are used to updates being named 0.5, 0.11 etc etc anyway.

Same but when updates start pushing past 6 months, the momentum of the game diminishes. Unless, it's a massive annual update like Being A Dik does but this update only covers a short period of time so there won't be much progress.

I agree with you but normally what slow burn means is that nothing will happen for far too long and then, suddenly, sex followed by the story just kind of ending. It also makes the progression commonly predictable, so for the veteran VN player more tedious.

For sure. From what I've seen, it's not usually the slow burns that make the characters and romantic aspect of it seem better. What 100% works is when a dev does a good job at building up tension, mutual interest, and clear motive. It can still take a few updates but overall takes relatively less time than a typical "slow burn" and can only be done if the writing is good. It escalates things to get "hotter and hotter" while maintaining the player's interest instead of "nothing happens, nothing happens, CLIMAX!, boom we're done".

I want to say Summer Heat is the former. Just look at Sophie. You could cut the sexual tension that character brings to each scene with a knife. If anything, the glacial timeline progression itself is what makes it feel like a slow burn. Not even day 2 and you've got Bree rushing off to the bathroom for some "me time". Yea, I think there's going to be a good back and forth between the characters. There's clear desire and clear action. It provides context to the player for why a scene might happen instead of just throwing at you but also lays the groundwork for if something happens sooner than you might expect.
