VN Ren'Py Summer Scent [v0.6.4a] [The Naughty Captain]

[The Naughty Captain]

Some fancy alien tech?

I'm more of a pact with the Old Ones kind of guy.

 

[Malcowitz]

I don't see how the girls could get pregnant in a week of time. So... no pregnancy in the game itself. Maybe in an ending. Nothing is decided yet on that matter.

Uhhh, I get your meaning, though people do get pregnant over a span of a week even if it doesn't show.

I'm more sad that I seemingly didn't manage a relatationship where the friend doms me and I dom the sister. Guess next playthrough has to be both romance

Uhhh, I get your meaning, though people do get pregnant over a span of a week even if it doesn't show.

People do get pregnant over a span of milliseconds... but no one (including the one who gets pregnant) would normally find out for certain until a few weeks later. So, it's pretty meaningless as a plot device in a story spanning only for a week or so (you cannot use it in a story, if no character has any realistic way of knowing about it).

Ah, I can see you're a man of culture as well.

 

[vogelbeest]

Ah, I can see you're a man of culture as well.

Or an octopus.... I hear they're really into that too....

 

[Kassan06969]

No weird shit please.

renpy engine updated? would the old save files still work?

 

[Sanholo45]

Ah, I can see you're a man of culture as well.

So, this has nothing to do with your previous post but I just wanted to say that this is up there with best written stories I have come across on F95. And frankly just a good story all round. Honestly I think with some subtle editing and a bit of careful managemnt of the incst them you could turn this into a more socially acceptable short story. (not that I am saying you should do that, just that your writing has value beyond the porn game scene...)
Ok so, I'm not gonna gush like some overstimulated younger sister in a porn game...
Forgive me, ahem. However, I will say that you manage to navigate some difficult territory without being mawkish or obvious about it. And, unlike it is in the majority of porn games, you have actually managed to make me care about your characters (as much as one can care for a fictional construct). I do have few little (very little) observations to make.
There is a line at the very beginning where the MC says something about enjoying the sun to the "better" of his abilities. In common usage this phrase would be to the "best" of his abilities. Maybe you meant it, I don't know.
Later, when the MC, Cassie and Sis are watching Casablanca there is line something like "I could tell that Eva was upset by our promiscuity". I am assuming you meant proximity? or perhaps intimacy? Either way there is another instance of this when MC and Eva are freaking out by Cassie's door.

Anyway, great job on this. You have genuine talent.
Peace
and Biscuits

renpy engine updated? would the old save files still work?

I'm not sure if I'm an outlier, but I couldn't even right click to open up the save dialog without getting a Ren'Py error crash screen until I deleted my saves that were created with previous SanchoMod. I installed the new version with the hotfix and it would still crash. I had to go into %APPDATA% and delete the files in the game save folder just to see the menus. I'm still not even sure it was SanchoMod doing it. I haven't had a problem since I deleted the saves though.

To answer your question, you may have a problem. I saw others had issues with saves for seemingly different reasons, but since there was an early game rework, I didn't mind starting over to see the changes. I'm hoping there will be a good PDF walkthrough with all 18 paths fleshed out... the .55 walkthrough still helps, but so much has changed and deprecated it to an extent... It's easy to start again if you need to. Just right-click the skip button and you'll fly through the choices.

I do understand the concern. I really do. I'm a player too.
But as a developer, things are different.

The game is a product in development. This means that until it is marked gold, everything can change. If I have to rework my early chapters, I'm not going to wait. Especially with a steam release as a goal, I need to offer the potential new player a more solid experience, especially in the early chapters. You know what they say about the first impression.

I'm not milking anyone. You can read my weekly update and decide for yourself if I am trustworthy or not. But I do understand that for an external observer, doubt exists. My development cycle is rather long and if you limit yourself to a single path, the updates will seem pretty short. In that context, I do understand that a rework doesn't sound like good news.
Nevertheless, the appropriate time for it is now, before I fail the sales.

There will be more rework, in the future, as I intend to rework the complete first 5 days of the story. But I will mix rework and new content to make it easier on the player. I'm not doing that to punish you, but to make the game better.



Well, that's the thing. That's exactly what I'm doing. I'm planning to release it on Steam. I want this to be a real game that won't be limited to his Patreon life. I want it to be bought and played after its completion. I'm sorry if it bothers you but it's not going to change.




No. Eve, Cassie and Kelly are and will remain the only love interests in Summer Scent.



The hints should pop up on important choices only.

If you do end up reworking 2/3/4/5, might you consider making the way to the Dual Sub path less jarring?
Because (unless I've been lied to) forcing a player to lick their own cum off a girl's feet is a bit too far.
Players specifically wanting to make both Cassie and Eve sub to the MC are (generally) not the target audience for that type of content.

Just seems weird to put a humiliation tax on getting the MC Dom both LI's.
It absolutely made me stop and instead choose the Eve sub/Cassie love path.

i want to dom both girls

I think people are upset due to the confusion that this update is not even new and that this is not the update that we all have been waiting for.
I think it should be added to the changelog in the OP that this was released in October but just now posted here.
I love this game and also your constant communication with your supporters. Keep it up and release the new version already

The Captain has been naughty with the code.

Something wicked is coming....

( some highlights can be found here )

Shouldn't that be,
Something Wicked This Way Comes?

 

[Sancho1969]

Shouldn't that be,
Something Wicked This Way Comes?

It only comes when I can provide a physical link. Before that (and that particular post you are replying to) it's only coming... (it wasn't available yet) You're trying to trick me but I'm on my game bud

 

[JackMiejov]

I started over, trying to play the Dual Love path. I get the screen below and I don't get it. A choice is grayed out and the in-game walkthrough says I need 45 affection points to unlock the choice, but I have 65 which should mean I have enough to unlock it. Is it a bug?

I was going for the "dual love to" hopefully this post will help you out.

I am French. That may explain my far from perfect english. Sorry about that.

Short answer : No.

Longer answer :
Changing how these events play isn't part of my plans for now. I might rewrite them a bit but it should stay essentially the same. But I'm not there yet. Maybe I'll change my mind and make it avoidable, maybe at a cost.

It might be important to note that I never envisionned Summer Scent as a "kink game" and that I usually don't stick to the classic representation of said kinks.

You might have missed a previous choice.

 

[Bombmaster]

Yeah, it takes around 24hrs from ejaculation to fertilisation for humans.
But, as you say, in one week they wouldn't be showing, or even be aware, so it's entirely moot ("mute" means no sound/voice) from the perspective of a plot device.

Cassie could have a Dom-> pregnancy in a way MC is destined to join her family.
Removing his choice entirely.

A power move getting a baby and demanding his eternal commitment.
