VN Ren'Py Summer's Gone [S1 Steam + DLC] [Oceanlab]

[Uriel ☁]

Well please explain to me like five on why ocean release a not full 4.5 or 5 chapter and use beta???

This is not really a beta, the full version is the remake of the first half of chapter 2 and parts of chapter 3 and 3.5.
As soon as the rework is done it'll be released as Ch4.5 Full.

 

[legend_shon]

doesnt feature sex any scenes? what?)))))) this game is about 3 years old, and before it was abondoned there wasnt any and when dev resumed game, there still nothing? ............. its not because its not a porn game, an erotic. its because he is like Gumdrop, i think they are buddies. and with other dev i forgot, who post wallpapers all the time

LOL.

 

[GeladoFeitan]

Lets just hope that today we got the 4.5 full and not 2 more weeks of waiting again we are at this since end of december

Knowing that Oceans is working I really don't care waiting more or less. The problem is when they stop working, but if his work is constant more time implies more content or quality. A win-win in my opinion.

While the rework has taken a lot longer than any of us would have hoped, I don't understand how you thought 5 would be near release towards the end of Feb? Sounds like a self bait as I haven't seen anyone else suggest that.

Tomorrow will be telling of how close we are to the release of 4.5 full, but I believe we won't be seeing it quite yet.

With the rate things are progressing, I wouldn't expect 5 beta until late June at the earliest, with 5 full and the steam release coming even later.

King Louis always liked to stroll
In Fontainebleau's amazing park
And for the peasant needs at all
The sovereign don't gave a fuck

Ocean has never promised sex scenes in Season 1.

He clearly says this in the disclaimer at the very beginning of the VN, which you would know if you actually played it.

He does do a great job with world building, so that when hot times, like the MC/Vic/Nami/Mila makeout scene on the couch happens, it has meaning, which makes it Much better.

I'm happy to enjoy, and support, a great story with: characters who are well-developed, high-quality renders, animations and music, and all supported by someone as creative as Ocean who has never had a problem with team building or seeking free-lancers to build something he wants, all with the goal of telling the Summers Gone story better/faster.

I can't think of a creator who is more of an 'anti-Gumdrop' than Ocean.

Anyone who has actually played Summers Gone would know this.

There are literally hundreds (thousands perhaps?) of VNs here that can give you sex with no meaning or the barest wrapper of a story, and I'm sure that the worst of them produce so little content that they are almost always on the verge of an abandoned tag.

If you want more Gumdrop fun, try them out.

Which is nothing if you think about the circumstances and work that went into the first part.

1. I moved across the country and had all troubles and annoyances a person has when they move. (From acquiring a new tax office, waiting for a desk to arrive meeting up with lawyers to make future music deals waterproof, and just getting my life in order again... Cuz a move fucks up everything.)

2. Got pretty sick from visiting my family over Christmas.

3. Created 900+ renders and new environments for the Rework in the meanwhile. (While also working on Chapter 5 (almost 100 renders in and creating another few hundred images for WiAB.))


I know that a BETA to Full shouldn't take this long and trust me that it burdens me too, but this is a special case. These damn reworks take up a lot of resources and take as much work as a new update.

Exactly

The wait will be worth it anyway I'm sure Keep up the great work Ocean. I'm really looking forward to the reowrk and meeting Sasha's Friend haha

 

[Saphfire]

I seriously don´t mind how long this takes, because i know the result will be great as always.

 

[funkymonkeyjedi]

I think CDPR really set the bar after they had spent months working up on their game release before their massive face-plant. Even those who aren't fans of CDPR heard that train wreck miles away. So much so, that I believe now most serious creators understand that fans will always stick by them for a polished product no matter how long the waiting period required before release.

So with that said, I don't care if I have to wait 6 months or even longer for the next release/update. I realize I'm speaking for myself, but I'm pretty sure that everyone who's played anything Ocean's made will agree with my sentiment.

Ocean, take all the time you need for your personal stuff, just don't burn yourself out trying to please the minority of folk that can't stand still for 3 seconds. Your true supporters will stick with you for the long haul.

No, I don't.

Well ocean can give the others hope you know it's not like they asking too much they just wanna see the cliffhanger of the past updates it's killing them well me too just asking if. If you know hmmm is the next release will be February or just on March or well longer than that they just need a light in the dark tunnel!

Chapter 2/Chapter 5 - Dev Log #3

Hello,

So... For those that are only interested in the current status of the Full version, all renders have been created. (Still need to go through the queue.)
Which means postwork has started.

Old Chapter 2 had 1150 renders...
I expected around 500-700 renders for the first part of it.
I'm now at 900+ renders. Oops.
I do think I did more than 50% of Chapter 2. (Probably around 65%)
Means: The second part will be done faster. (Comes with Chapter 5 full.)

There are a ton of comparisons down there... I'd normally not show this many previews but... I know that some people won't play the new Chapter 2 (Part 1), so yeah... More previews than usual.

This is the last dev log about the Ch4.5 Full.

2. Amber Treats
I made some changes to the Treats.
Quoting the last WiAB Post:
"I have to make a change to the Treats. It was always meant, to only show previews to the 5$ and above supporters... But I never stuck to it.
I like involving every supporter in actual game news.
From now on, Previews will be for every supporter tier, doesn't matter if they are nudes or not.

But the treats are a bonus for higher tiers. So I will release them for the 10$ tiers and above.
Check the normal Amber previews down below first... Then the Treats.
You can find the NSFW Amber Treats

Next Log's treat will be Nami.

There are also quite a few new immersion renders/scenes.​

Stuff that wasn't in the old CH2.

I expect Chapter 2 Rework to end with 1800-2000 renders after Chapter 5.
I don't know how I managed to almost double the render count... But here we are.

The Full will be out before the next Log.
Then we're approaching Chapter 5... A Chapter that I've been looking forward to for a very long time...

If you know hmmm is the next release will be February or just on March or well longer than that they just need a light in the dark tunnel!

I completely agree with everything you say. I'm not frowning on anyone asking for hints or stuff like that. I'm just saying I'm the sort that would rather binge the entire thing all at once rather than a drop at a time. I'll admit I'm on the same "edge of your seat" in anticipation for it though. But I just find ways to keep busy so I don't see the time pass as much. This way, I don't end up keeping my expectations too high on a release date time-frame. So when the update hits the market it's a bigger surprise. And I go all 'girly' in excitement lol

I rather that over the continuous nagging for a "pls pls pls tell me when??". just makes me feel like I'm not puttin unnecessary pressure on the creator that way.

Here is a brand new preview of CH 2, upgraded...

Spoiler: Amber is Smokin!

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

HOLY SHI... Amber is Smokin and I am very interested in just what prompted her to give the MC this display (because who could be more deserving!)

Anyone want to complain and say Amber is not worth waiting for???

Please explain to me like I'm five because I don't know how this number renders works and did ocean say that the full will be out so it's means that this next log or before this next log is next week or 2 more weeks will be the release of 4.5 full chapters???
