Damn what a shitty ass update to wait almost a year for it...I'm sure we going to still fuck some non-main character next update and tease the main ones like the previous updates.
This is the scam of the century: to develop a year-long update and not provide subscribers with content. I respect the developer

It's been more than a day and yet looking at all these negative reviews, I agree with everyone, but despite this I'm happy, I was able to see Eve again. I also expected something more, but I got what I got ABSOLUTELY FOR FREE. There's no point complaining. After all, everything was free. Will the next update be released and when? I don't think I'll live to see it.

What kind of gameplay can there be? These are just pictures with captions. I see it as a picture that you can admire for a long time and maybe even jerk off.Well now i guess i was wrong and you was right...
Some of the choices for the renders and dialogue in this chapter were so random and wasteful imo:
-why focus on making breakfast with animations!
-the weird dream sequence that added nothing to the story.
-I guess the flashback fleshed out Mia and the mc's past relationship but I feel the same plot points could have been explored through a conversation in the present which would feel less jarring.
-the conversation with Mikey in their room mostly just summarized what happened in the previous update which we aleady know anyway?? Mikey as a character is not working for me generally. I don't think his 'jokes' have even made me smile.
-we spent multiple lines having different characters say variations of 'you look tired' and 'you should get some rest' during the lesson scene
- the sex scene with Mia was fine but we literally just had a scene with her. perhaps Bree could have been a better choice.
- Having the mc and the love interests walk in the forest again seems kinds repetitive too. Like a scene with the mc and Sophie/Mia during the lesson could have been a nice change potentially (though I didn't mind the Sophie/Mia scenes so this isn't a big problem)
-WHY did they add the expulsion storyline?! we all know that the MC isn't going to be sent home so there is no drama and tension to this plot point. It became really repeitive reading the MC think 'I want to spend more time with X character in the future but I sadly will never see them again in 3 days time'. Plus it makes no sense as Mr Miller took him there and left him alone for hours. I know who most parents would blame after they heard the full story so it makes more sense for everyone involved to pretend it never happened. Also how is that the only one on one scene with Kate after almost a year lol.
I agree that there should have been more renders considering the dev time, but this issue is exarcebated because of how they failed to utilise the limited renders and animations they made. Though I guess such inneficiency shouldn't be a suprise considering we spent more time with Mr Miller and the strip club than with the main LI's in the previous update but its still dissapointing

I understand that everyone who has completed the update, coming here, does not read all 30+ pages, but everyone has almost the same "idea", a lot of extra unnecessary renderings!
And this update upset a lot of people! While i was reading, i'm try to read all the comments, i didn't see any really outright hate, a lot of people like this game! Because the whole world of the game is alive, beautiful living characters, i really feel sorry for Mia and this makes the game not simple, but very difficult to understand, but what the devs did greatly reduced confidence in them. I suggest leaving all discussions like the time of development of this update, etc., before the release of the post from the devs themselves, cose they must somehow explain the current situation!

ExactlyThe 0.6 update in on the short side, but the game is not down on the "good games gone bad" ladder yet. One can still hope
It's a 'mediocre game with nice visuals going bad'
Apart from what many have already pointed out — the lack of content given the really long development time — there’s one more thing that really disappointed me. It’s the way the relationship with Ms. Hill developed, or more specifically, the way it regressed and what that means for the future.
I'll begin by saying that I have nothing against a slow burn. In fact, I actually prefer it when romantic stuff progresses at a slower pace. The buildup, the tension, those furtive glances — I love it! Unfortunately, given the slow development time of the game, I’m afraid we’re still a few years away from any lewd content with Ms. Hill. That’s right! Allow me to elaborate.
I think we can’t expect any scenes with her until the issue of sending the MC home is resolved. The whole idea behind it is for her to maintain her professionalism. So, until that’s no longer an issue, we’re unlikely to see any new content with Kate.
Alright, so the next obvious question is: when can we expect this situation to be resolved? My guess is that it’ll be dealt with at the last possible moment—or close to it—for dramatic effect. That would be on the day the MC is supposed to be sent home or the evening/night before. That means we’ve got two more in-game days of other events before any progress in this branch happens. Given the pace at which the days in the story progress, it’s safe to say we’re probably 3, maybe 4 updates away from that. And that could mean—what?—two years of development? Maybe even longer.
I find this really discouraging since she’s my favorite LI... I’d love to be wrong about my predictions. What do you think, guys? Am I off in my calculations?

I am critical of how they are handling all this, 10 months for this miserable update that does not develop anything in the story, for me is very annoying, but from there to destroying all the excellent work that the developers have done, it is already very extreme, I hope you learn from this, manage to make an update every 4 or at most 5 months, cut out all the mundane dialogue, and start developing the story, personally, if it takes another 9 months for the next update, and they bring me a sexual scene with a character that has nothing to do with the story and they make me spend 1 hour of my life reading an empty script that is only there to consume time, well personally I already know what the purpose of this VN is and my interest in it simply ends.
At the beginning of the project, I saw the incredible quality that this visual novel had, not only in the technical and visual section but in the potential that the story can deliver, personally I am tired of seeing VN with a good visual section and an empty context, without a story, without character development, I thought that "Summer Heat" was something different and that the developers had a clear idea of what they wanted to do, With this last update of 10 months, I realized that it is not the case, but I am still going to give you the benefit of the doubt, for me the next update is decisive to see if I am still interested in this project, I think they should reformulate everything for them to be successful, two people with a VN of this quality and technical complexity can't develop a story with so many characters included and such sporadic updates, anyways.

I can't detect if it's pure sarcasm, or you just saw that there's a new update and you're excited about it.Finally,Summer Heat v6 released!Naughty Fox Developers Rocking!!

You really think the dev gives shit about ratings on a piracy board? You overestimate the impact of this site. The devs care about feedback from their backers and from no one else.

It's easy to see pages of complaints from drive-bys and think that they represent the majority opinion. They don't. They're complaining because they don't like the game for their reasons. They're complaining because the style of this VN doesn't suit their expectations. As of right now though, the supporters of this VN far outnumber those passing complainers judging by the overwhelmingly positive reviews and the ever growing number of monthly patrons. It's safe to assume that those people aren't so upset.
So to say "greatly reduced confidence"? I don't think that's accurate in the slightest. I think you give too much credit to a vocal minority. Most of those drive-bys will be gone in a week and the rest of us will still be around supporting this project. I can only speak for myself in full confidence, and I can tell you that I'm perfectly content with this update. Development time is completely irrelevant to me. I really couldn't give a rats ass about it ... and this is a romance-oriented VN with a distinct style and easily some of the best renders in the business. This VN meets my expectations and I'm satisfied. If you're not, then that's fine but don't assume that a few angry posts on a pirate site make a majority.
