Yep, we have been at a standstill for at least 2 years. He does an average of 2-3 renders/day and a few rewrites. That's it! It's been half a year since the last update and I've already forgotten where my save last left off. Sad development! And unfortunately there is no improvement in sight...

Here we go, progress till 0.5 was okay, but then the rework begins...

0.1 - '19 Summer?
0.2 - '19 October
0.3 - '19 December
0.4 - '20 April
0.5 - '21 December
------------------------
0.6.1 - '21 November
0.6.2 - '22 August
0.6.3 - '23 July
0.6.4 - '24 April
0.6.5 - ???

Dev Update #269


ep6_sc1_dw_01.jpg ​




I couldn't do everything I planned. I barely had the time to post-process all the images. I had a few shots to reload, repair, and fully rerender, a bit of clipping to Photoshop out, and the whole series to run through my usual process, but aside from that, nothing incredible. It still took me a bit more than 30 hours to deal with the 600 images of v0.6.5. As always, it was a painful endeavor. I really have to stop doing all the post-processing at the last moment. I'd better do it as soon as the rendering of a scene is done. That would make that task much more bearable.

Anyway, post-processing is done.

I'll get on the music and second phase of coding on Monday. I already have some music options, but I have yet to test them in-game.

The quick sum up :

  • Day 6 Part 5 will contain 2 new scenes: scenes 28 and 29.
  • Day 6 Part 5 will contain 1 reworked scene: Day 2, scene 2.
  • Day 2 scene 2 and Day 6 scenes 28 and 29 have been written, posed, rendered, coded, and post-processed.
  • 16 477 words of new content.
  • 2715 words of reworked content.
  • 3922 lines of code so far.
  • 496 shots are planned, 496 are posed, and 496 are rendered.
  • 79 shots of reworked content are planned, 79 are posed and 79 are rendered.
  • I'm currently coding stuff.


You can follow my progress on this Trello board.

You can also add the game to your wishlist on Steam !

It happens in a very nasty and brutal bad end when you make a wrong choice following a certain game path. It goes without saying that you will 110% come across this brutal bad end if you don't literally follow the walkthrough hint-system: just 1 wrong choice and you get it.

You're right. This ending is very bad. When I came across it while playing for the first time, I was angry.

I know reading is hard, and understanding is even harder, but come on guys. This is straight-up lying. With every update he's been delivering way more new content than reworked material. And each of his updates is like a thousand renders and 25 to 30k words of content. That's more than most of the other games out there.
Of course, if you only play a single path, you will be disappointed. But it's not a reason to lie.
His dev updates are very transparent about how he works, and if you have read them, you know he does way more than a few words and a couple of renders per day.

Not to bad but a bit short. Writing multiple endings and branching storylines in vn's can become unwieldy to those not prepared or not experienced enough and the vn becomes a trainwreck. I hope this doesn't happen with Summer Scent. Screenshot_20241023-153754 (1) (1).png

First dev report for this update was April 26, 2024. Today, 118 days later, there are 575 new/reworked renders for the next update. That's an average of about 3.18 renders per day.

So, 2-3 more years for day 6. Let's say 7 years for each last day (days 7, 8, 9 and 10 - I remember he once told that the story is supposed to end when their mom comes back home on day 10, unless he decided to shorten the story)...

well, one day he's gonna tell his grandchildren: "you know, grandma filed for divorce because an erotic visual novel took up my whole spare time... it took me almost 40 years"...

Yeah, because you know, the only thing he does is rendering, right ? He doesn't write, he doesn't create sets, right ?
I feel like you are purposedly misleading.
