Well, you can't do Photoshop. I guess downloading a free image manipulation software like GIMP and spending a single afternoon watching some YouTube tutorials was too much of an ask. You can't do art either, as it's all trash-tier generative slop (mangled hands, alien genitals, cars with droopy wheels, all of the detail are nonsensical if you look at them for more than a second, etc.). Can't do animation either, since it's all bad AI images being fed back into AI to make bad 'wobbly' images that are technically moving, meeting the barest technical definition of 'animated'. Can't do choices, as the game is effectively a kinetic novel with no meaningful branching. The writing is so bad, it's functionally identical to click-bait SEO dreck that ChatGPT already churns out, so I figure there's a greater than 50/50 chance that you didn't even write this. At least I hope you didn't write this, as there's no kind way to tell someone they've effectively failed the Turing Test. It's just the story of one pathetic simp as he gets mad pussy undeservingly thrown at him for a week. There is no plot, no conflict, and nobody has any personality outside of being 'thirsty'.
What would you say it is you actually do here?
EDIT: There is a gallery, with 4 'characters', each with exactly 20 images (5 rows of 4 images across). Did the story 'organically' just happen to require exactly 20 images of each girl to make the story work? Fuck no. I'd bet $20 that they picked the 20 images of each girl first, then came up with the laziest (read: had ChatGPT do it) framework to string together a 'narrative' so as to display all 80 images. Every indication here is that as LITTLE EFFORT as possible was put into this, and it shows. Nobody should waste their time with this. Even for free, I feel cheated.

Dude, relax. The guy said he was learning renpy recently. What if he made this just to learn? You could've said the exact same thing without being an ass like you did.

I will repeat once again - I had no experience at all with the RenPy engine a month ago. I have never used any photo editing or animation software. Even as part of my job at my workplace, I never had to work with something like that.
This project is a learning project for me, I’m trying to learn how to work with RenPy, trying to learn how to communicate with AI. Again, I repeat - I have the utmost respect for the work of artists, 2D and 3D modelers. To create something at their level, I would need years of study and practice. And I am well aware of this.
Regarding the content in the game. Its quantity is due to the fact that it is PERSONALLY strange for me to see in a game with 10,000+ lines of text - 2 art, 1 animation and 3 photos. It is logical to me that in addition to any text content, the game should also contain other content, preferably in large quantities. Again, this is PERSONALLY my opinion, which I do not impose on anyone, but express in my personal project.
Regarding the text - I am not a native English speaker. And I am not a professional translator. I tried to write the text as simple as possible for maximum ease of translation. So that when reading the English version, I myself could understand that I did not make mistakes. But even so, I realize that perhaps the translation is incorrect and illogical somewhere. For which I apologized in advance.
Regarding the structure of the game - menus, transitions, etc. I personally thought it was right to separate some scenes using the selection menu. So that the user does not miss them simply when skipping the text.
Regarding the completeness of the game - I am not a supporter of projects that hang in the “alpha test” or “beta version” for years. I wanted to make a small, quick, but READY project.
This game is just a learning project for me. And I decided to share it with users, just to understand what is good in the game, what is bad, what can or should be done better.
I am not a supporter of insults and swearing. For me, the “culture” of bullying is incomprehensible. But I know one thing for sure - when you throw shit at a person, you may not hit him, but you will get dirty in feces - in any case.
Thank you for your “flattering review”.
You made me smile.

'Here's my completed 1.0 version game.'
- Doesn't say it's an experiment or a learning experience (well, before they edited it at 4am this morning).
- Does list all of their money making contacts, including Itch.io and Patreon.
I can appreciate people who actually care and actually try, even when they fail spectacularly. But this? This doesn't read like they even tried. Again, was an single afternoon of image editing tutorials too much work so that they didn't have obvious watermark artifacts repeatedly showing up through the images? Evidently yes, that was too much effort. So this 'learning experience' project is all getting experience in shoving things off on AI (generate new ones, pick one, recycle back through to 'animate' it; all work entirely offloaded to AI), not actually about improving their own craft. The most creative control they appear to have is over the text, and I'm still not convinced it was written by a human; weather it was Russian being fed into an MTL algorithm, or just whole hog ChatGPT in origin. So sorry, but no, I don't feel like pulling my punches when this level of effort is accompanied my someone also shaking their can for donations.
Plus, if this really is a 'learning experience', then harsh criticism is actually valuable. Anyone wanting to actually improve their craft should be courting criticism to see where they went wrong, what they can improve. Again, none of that was evident in their lengthy 'please don't be mean, I'm new' response. Okay, so you're 'new'. You're gonna suck. Giving me reasons to excuse you sucking (e.g. being new) as opposed to asking how to make things better, is precisely the wrong track to take if you're genuine about self-improvement.
It looked like a grift. It smelled like a grift. It quacked like a grift. If it isn't a grift, it is doing everything in it's power to read as grift-adjacent. Are they just a poor newbie who spit out 'baby's first eroge' onto a porn game piracy site, and not just another in the sea of dozens of zero-effort shovelware makers? Maybe, but I'm just too cynical to give people the benefit of the doubt anymore. Don't like that? Blame the grifters.

Hi, what platform did you try the game on? I tested the game on all platforms except MAC, making scenes in the format of looped short videos. Can you please tell me if the video data opens in the game folder itself?

Hello, please tell me, can you watch the video files "Summerholidays-1.0-pc\game\videos" in this path? Can you view the video this way? I'm not sure, but maybe the problem is with the video format in which I save them. In my tests, everything worked. Didn't test it on MAC only

LuL "park has been well renovated" "they even added treadmills"
lul pretty sure that should be a running track cause I have never heard of any park in the world having treadmills. Pull up bars, various basic gym stuff like weights with set unchangeable weights, and so on with the best public exercise stuff in a park I've ever seen or heard of was ones you can find in china.
The single choices are rather pointless. Beginning moves kinda quick or knowing Russia I can see it happening in one of those small towns that dot the russian countryside long as they aren't the dead ones that went to shit after the soviet union fell... or I guess it could just be taken as an altogether newer town

Yes, my idea of the city is from the post-Soviet space, I do not live in Russia, and for my country, in particular for my small city - new treadmills are very cool renovations)
If I understand you correctly, regarding single choices - I made them to separate some content, perhaps I did it too often, I will try to avoid such single choices in the future, or make a variety of choices. Thanks for your feedback)

well i'll be damn huh looked it up and never seen or heard of this before. Pretty cool it should be a mandatory installation at the end of every street in the usa... all the fat POS here need it or at least have it mock them whenever some fat fuck drives to mcshittles to eat chesseburgers. Cool to see and learn of another thing usa is too uncivilized to have

I think it’s not about civilization, but about the attitude of those in power towards ordinary people. Whatever the Soviet Union was, good or bad, it does not matter, but at that time the cult of health was cultivated - the cult of a healthy person. But the times of the collapse of the USSR still make themselves felt when it comes to health issues. in the 90s and 2000s it was popular to drink or use drugs; young people could literally split into two groups inside the yard, where some drank and others took drugs. It took many lives, in particular in my city too. But as for me personally, people can only be healthy when the cost of a dumbbell is less than the cost of a bottle of alcohol or a pack of cigarettes.
It all comes down to the fact that a drunk person, a person with some kind of addiction = for the most part becomes easily controlled. Unfortunately, this scheme actually works. We have a saying - Strong people create good times, good times create weak people, weak people create hard times, and hard times create strong people. History is cyclical, no matter how you look at it) So let's hope for the best, we'll get better ourselves, and I believe that sooner or later everyone will find their own happiness and peace in their soul.

Damn it, I’m very sorry that you can’t play videos in the game itself, to be honest, I don’t understand the reason why it doesn’t work normally(Hey, same problem here unfortunaly...

If I find the reason, I will definitely fix it! Once again I apologize!
