VN Ren'Py Summer Scent [v0.6.5a] [The Naughty Captain]

[Mesmerizet]

Read through some of the comments about the content, I'll wait another year before playing this.

Right. Same here.

I'm going to revisit this a few months later, hopefully by then there's a proper Gallery section, an Ending viewer/editor and an Achievement Unlocker/Guide.

if you think this is long you haven't played truly long games. There is a lot of content if you try to play all the paths, but it's not "that" long

Even with max speed skip (Ctrl), it seems that it takes 10mins+ to go through a Path, just to view the same story with slight variations due to each Path.
With the risk of possibly get sidelined into a Path you have already played, wasting the entire playthrough.

Just a lot of effort.

Any hints how to access the mystery paths?

So if you're a nice guy in this game you get exactly nothing for the entire game, maybe a kiss or so. If you try to be an asshole, you get pegged...

The dev has a sense of humour.

most popular paths have a sex scene or two in them, just saying

A hint? Okay. Just look which paths with the LI's exists and which of them you could try to combine without going onto one of the 15 paths of the ingame walkthrough.

I wouldn't call the variations "slight." In fact, the game varies so much between the paths that after a 1000+ render update, players might only see 1/6th of those. Such an ambitious pathing system is admirable, but also arguably part of what's been holding the game back.

It's why I'm happy to see the least popular paths wrapped up with the last update, so the dev can focus in on the content people would rather see.

Except it means a big, fat zero for this update for most players.

I can't stand this mimimi anymore. No wonder the Captain was burnt out when he has to deal with all that shit from a very vocal crowd which didn't even pay a cent.

I can see why so many developers leave this site. I have even thought about it recently myself.
I just hope the captain takes care of himself. Health should always come before a game.

Yeah, this forum can be toxic to devs. It's a good forum. I wouldn't be here if not. But a big part of the crowd sadly is just annoying and inmature.

I'm not there yet, but I think many of us had this thought once in a while.

THIS!

Strike three and he just made the list...

Kinda ambivalent on this topic. Voicing disappointment of not getting new content seems reasonable and within the scope of this board, bitching around and insulting or harassing devs is not ok on the other hand.

Indeed, criticism without respectfulness is just noise.

 

[Anthony222]

Kinda disappointed in this update, I was hoping we would see a scene where he bangs both girls with the thugs, instead we get blue balled and go to jail

Of course, it's difficult to see that in the context of a branching story if you don't play every paths.

I honestly think this IS the actual problem. Loads of development time goes into content that most people won't even see.
Which is a shame in my opinion as I hold this game as one of the best.

I agree completely. It's a bit of wasted effort. It was a good move to prune this "growing tree". I hope it will go more smoothly now. And you can always trim a little more.

So what? Just pretend this update didn't exist. It's fucking free if you're downloading it here

absolutely right. I can't say I'm not disappointed that I didn't see progress on the paths that I actually follow, but whatever. We'll get there when we get there. I pay for shit that I really like, I'll probably pay for this one too when we get content I like. Until then I'll play something else.

Try right clicking the .app file and selecting Open instead of double clicking on it. Apple blocks applications downloaded from the internet (as opposed to via the App Store) unless they are signed by the developer with Xcode and an Apple Developer Account (which most things online ain't)

yup. that's what I did. it tells me i don't have permission
