VN - Ren'Py - Summer Heat [v0.6] [Naughty Fox Games]

This is shaping to be one of THE top games around here. Seduction of the girls feel almost real how well it is written, and I like that playing ,,nice,, guy doesnt get you far with most chicks here as in other visual novels, where all you have to do is say how good she looks and you end up fucking.

Only problem is the lenght so far, it took me under hour.

1 sex scene so far, extremely hot with one milf you meet in the begining. Depends on your choices tho. But thats it for now.

Im only worried that it will take forever for such a quality game to get finished. This gem just leaves you wanting more which is rare around here. Great job.

Harem route it is 10/10 however it is also good when you can have variations such as a three or individual route, this leads to a more exciting experience to play, since you can compare and see the differences and similarities that can occur in the game. Therefore, when there is a Harem ending and other variations, you no longer have the pain of choosing only one, but rather the expectation of seeing how it turns out when you choose and see what happens with each character and his story if he was not chosen, that's why I strongly hope and ask him to make a Harem route, without further ado the game and the renderings look good go ahead and continue for more and better for the game.

The picture quality is very high, but I can only give a decent rating .
Too many very high quality productions fell by the wayside in 2022 .
It is possible that many authors will not be able to finish their books in 2022 due to practical factors , but more often they fall by the wayside for reasons of their own or because they can't continue to tell their story .
The beginning story of this work is not bad, although there is no unique surprise, but it is conducive to the author to easily go on .
Sandbox design is a failure, hopefully the author will stop trying, you can look at how many good games in the last two years were ruined by the sandbox model .
I forgot to mention one detail,this is one of the rare examples of an author using eyeballs and skin conditions to show age. It's great job .

This game has some of the best renders out there, well written, fun conversations and it doesn't seem like a slow burner. Character expressioms are very well done. The setting is good, and the side characters are great too. Can't wait for what's to come.
Also some of the best redheads ever lol

Has a compelling story, good dialogue, pretty girls, and the renders are some of the best I've seen. All the girls are very different not only on the way they look but also they all have distinct personalities. This really is just one of those games where you don't press the skip button.

Love it so far. Good renders and light, bright, consistance and I like the atmosphere. The characters are attractive, hot and interesting enough to keep following them wherever they go. Clear different personalities and teasing you. Good job devs. 5 stars from me.

been playing AVNs for years but this is the only unforgettable one, gotta love the quality of the renders and writing and having many interesting distinct main and side characters, the expressions and gazes, posing, shades, lighting and use of colors, this is art you can feel it was made with love and care, I don't know how to put it the girls just feel real and this vn is excellent in every aspect, kudos to npx and robinson keep it up this game deserves to be on steam

Love it so far. Good renders and light, bright, consistance and I like the atmosphere. The characters are attractive, hot and interesting enough to keep following them wherever they go. Clear different personalities and teasing you. Good job devs. 5 stars from me.

The game is absolutly great
Not just the renders are stunning
The writing is also superb, craked me up very often
In addition the interaction and reaction between the characters just feels very natural
The only thing I dislike about this game is, that it is quiet short
But hopefully this will change in the future
Giving you guys thumbs up for this already amazing game

Review of v0.3

Summer Heat is a short but enjoyable game that I don’t recommend playing for the time being.
Why?
Because even if the renders and models are astonishingly good, the sound effects clean and almost “crispy” and the writing fluid it’s basically a demo that hasn’t showed all of its potential rather than a game, since it lasts less than an hour.
It has also some very weird red flags that I am going to delve later.
But for now even if you do every choice or every possible path (which aren’t many), the game won’t take much of your time, and you will be left disappointed that is this short.
And even if it is very funny at times, it hasn’t an amazing or breathtaking plot (at least yet) or an outstanding writing to keep you excited that justify the short game time, since for now it is more of a slice of life kinda game.

For the red flags I must delve into spoilers so be warned: even if it is considered a slow burn game, characters like Bree tells you (the same day you met her) that she finds you “cute” and supposedly after you take pictures of her, she gets aroused and starts masturbating to you.
This may be explained by the fact that Bree is very cheerful and not really bright, but the day hasn’t even finished, the MC and her literally met a couple of hours ago.
Then there are other characters like Eve, that almost opens up to you (Always at the beginning of the day) but she still tries to keep that aura of mystery… I guess.

Then there is the writing, even if it is smooth and grammar fluid, dialogues sometimes will stop on useless conversation or fragmented ones, where they kinda lack exposition and feel more like two AI are talking, but these fortunately happen one or two times.

For personalities, they are ok, for now, not really developed but enough to be fine.
We have the grumpy teacher, the best kinda douche friend, the female childhood friend that isn’t totally into you…
Only the friend of Bree is kinda personality-less

As I said earlier the games has choices, which are many and sometimes change the outcome of a situation or other times are simply filler ones, but they are welcomed

Models and renders are pretty good,the backgrounds have an astonishing amount of details, and the”freedom” mode is short but well made.

So overall Summer Heat is a small fun game with potential, you could say, but till that potential doesn’t get fulfilled, it remains a 3 star game, not a too negative 2 one, or a too positive 4 one, but a neutral 3.
The review may change in the future when things happen.
But for now I say that it is on the right road, and I am kinda interested to see where this is goes.

V0.3
Dont be fooled by the number this thing is short.

Short and sweet. There´s a good excuse for a house full of women. It´s for art. Of course.
19y old hot artsy women usually have tattoos. These dont wich is weird.

It seems this is gonna be a story first game with very hot characters. Me likes.

It´s still very early nothing more to say. Try it.

he game is in the beginning and so far looks realy good, it has pottencial and the renders look great, the models a very interresting and different from any other game, one thing that caught my attention was the eyes of the characters exganging looks its really cool

This game is perfect for me. I like the slow introduction to the story because it feels realistic. I hope that the author will continue with realism. The characters are very interesting because they have different personalities. The renders are fantastic. In other games, I'm rarely interested in the stories of individual characters as I am in Summer Heat. Only the decisions (answers) could be more developed. Otherwise, I have nothing to complain about, great job.

I played version 0.3

Renders are very good and the story is only starting (its more like an introduction of the girls. Hope the game in the future offers more choices with impact on the story and with the relations with the girls,more choices to choose (instead 2 having 3) and that all the girls arent slutty. The game has potential.

Looks Amazing so far.... , no downsides , pace is great, story looks nice , i love the camera and cellphone , the only bad thing is too short for me and maybe need a few more caracters.... because the renders are great.
Hope to see more of this VN soon for me is a 5/5.
Great job so far!!!

Bria and Mia kill me. Eve is mysterious, I can't wait to see how the story will evolve with all the possibilities offered to the author. The render is very very good, and practice photography is good idea, i m enjoy. I'm waiting the next update.

Amazingly well made game. Renders are good, story is interesting, characters (although a bit typical) are thought true and feel realistic enough. Gameplay is that of a VN plus some free roam and use of phone.

Literally no downsides, well done and certainly deserves support.

Review is for v0.3

I often don't leave reviews due to the time investment they take to properly convey my opinion of a VN. However, Summer Heat is one of the few that gripped my attention. Before getting into the breakdown of the pros and cons I'd like to compliment the developers for producing an already strong VN and wish them best of luck in future updates!

Alright, time for the breakdown...

PROS:
Writing Quality:
First off, whoever the author behind the story is, they deserve the highest level of praise for the incredible quality. It's clear right from the start that time was spent workshopping plot and how each character fits into it. While it's not clear if they're following Freytag's Pyramid I'd be surprised if they weren't considering the level of care given to the plot. The lack of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors also leads me to believe that the script is being reviewed and edited before an update is launched. In other words; these devs have their shit together.

Visuals:
As if a strong author wasn't enough, there also seems to be a talented artist on the team since the quality of each render is phenomenal. While Daz provides pre-made models it's evident that the artist has modified each model to maintain a consistent level of quality, which is a rare occurrence even in some of the most popular VNs. I also remember one of those developers (Belle) mentioning that the harder part to properly render are the eyes, and yet the devs behind Summer Heat have mastered them. The overall quality for each model is top notch and more than deserving of praise.

Characters:
And finally... the characters. While this could technically be appended to the writing quality section, the level of care that went into each character is more than deserving of it's own section. While we're still early in development, the level of quality that went into each character is evident as each feel completely distinct. I, as the audience, feel invested in learning more about each of the LIs. Even more, despite Mia gaining an advantage due to her relationship with the MC, the other three (3) LIs can easily compete with her as all of them boast a unique persona which help them to stand out. Even the background characters feel fleshed out despite their relatively short screen time and low impact on the story as it currently stands. Fantastic quality and generally well-rounded characters across the board; A+.

CONS:
Slow Burn:
The only downside (which could be argued as a pro) stems from the slow burn this VN seems to have. Three (3) versions in and it feels like we're still pretty far from initiating sex with anyone. While I personally don't view this as a negative I included it in the "cons" section to temper expectations. We most likely won't see any significant sex scenes for another version or two (2) depending on where in the plot we are currently.

CONCLUSION:
Overall I definitely recommend supporting the devs on Patreon. The quality of Summer Heat puts it high up on my recommendation list, as evident by the completely lopsided (and unbiased!) breakdown. I'm excited to see where the devs take us next!

Quite short at the moment but one of those games that you can immediately tell has been made with care and skill.

Gorgeous renders, fun characters, very competent writing with some great laugh-out-loud moments.

Keen to see where this goes.

V 0.3
Game look really satisfying so far
Pacing and writing seem good, all characters seem to have different personnalities (best friend is a bit tropey, but it works) and the renders look really nice.
Waiting to see what comes next.
