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

[Sancho1969]

No, it is the new official patch, there's no other way for it to contain the Ch2 rework labels, and have been released before the game was publicly available.

The 'official patch' being broken is common practice, as I said.

It may even the why it has been removed from lewdpatcher.

It's not common for the "official" patch to have 1,200 differences... that's never happened before with this VN so I'd say it uncommon practice. Hell, the patch has the player unlocking a Vanessa image in Ch2 when it's clearly in Ch4 of the Full VN. It's a beta patch meaning it's not done correctly has been my whole point. Regardless I've sorted it 100% for the pending mod update. I'll release a non-modded version of the fully functional, exact dialogue (except what's expected to be altered) to the current non-Patched Full VN when I'm done with the mod update. That'll end all confusion and give folks the exact experience they would have playing the Full VN but having a proper "iPatch" included.

I'm not trying to argue... I'm the one who is actually working on a proper solution tbh. I know you know what's what and you know I do to... we've both worked our asses off fixing VN's so please don't take my posts as attacking you in any way... that's not what this is.

No, it is the new 'official patch', there's no other way for it to contain the new Ch2 rework labels:

    "Bus02",
    "College2x0",
    "Gym2x0",
    "CollegeGymEntrance2x0",
    "Cafe2x0",
    "College2x0_2",
    "Mensa2x0",
    "BellaHome2x0",
    "BellaHomeAmber2x0",
    "BellaHomeBreakdown2x0",

And have been released before the game was publicly available.

why are you even arguing with sancho, he's building the mods and the patches that make the games better, you're likely wrong and even if you aren't, stop distracting him with your bullshit

please take a moment to unfuck yourself;
Meushi writes code too, and provides fixes for several games.
they aren't insulting each other, just comparing notes - hence Sanch reiterating that he isn't attacking Meushi, in case it wasn't clear.

turn it down a notch, sancho and meushi are both very competend coders and modders around here and are just "talking" to each other, not throwing bullshit insults around like you do. There is a huge difference between talking head to head or throwing unnecessary insults around, i would suggest you should learn that said difference.

my apologies!
i clearly didn't see it as the productive argument imzahai saw it as that will improve the game. i thought it was about a patch being out of date

apologies to you too! i didn't think what i said was a bullshit insult, but maybe saying someone is distracting bullshit is exactly that. i never thought i was insulting so i'm sorry if you did

water under the bridge, all good.

thanks, we all want better games and appreciate the modders

 

[Candy Suxx]

I just read a comment back saying the game is gonna have around 26 chapters, is it true?

 

[WastedEfforts]

But damn, these early chapters have gotten me so invested in Bella that it does make me wonder how us Bella fans will all cope when MC's project partner gets switched in the following quarters (we're still in the first quarter of MC's college year, so...)

We will demand another rework, so that we perpetually remain on Bella centric season

 

[Kokodeska]

Man the update is so short like my peepee

 

[Call of Booty]

We can't ignore Bella if I want to do other path,no? I mean all that conspiracy against Vanessa,haircut and clothes.

Don't forget the Wiggly...new update in CH 2
View attachment 2454244

Where the hell do you see anything wiggling?
All I can do is drool and imagine myself being 45 years younger!
The only thing that well shaped and toned godess of a female could wiggle is MY willy!
Not an inch of loose flesh on her

 

[Jordanskene01]

Is it just me or has Nami's ass gotten a little bigger in the Reworking of Chapter 2?

Wait a minute do I have to restart a new game again? Well It's been 87 years and I've forgotten whats going on so why not?

 

[m4pII]

I'm frustrated that the plot doesn't move forward, but I admit that I rather liked the new "remake".

Staging scenes and visuals have become frankly better
Mila is getting...bigger) and hotter)
I like that this update has a lot of Nojiko. I hope we will be able to cuck her new boyfriend)

Even though, rendering is only part of it, what about modeling and thinking about what we want to see? How many renders were wrong, so needed to be done again? It seems rendering is just a fast pc with good graphics card, consuming a lot of power...

Is story CH4.5 similar or less complex than CH4 ?

Having said that, thanks for the analysis, it's still interesting to see...

Queue music.
Never ending stoooory.

I get "developers" wanting to make a game look good, but Oceanlab and others simply spend too much time on renders and too little time on actually progressing the story.

Its a shame though because its a good story.

My guess is that within a couple of years we might be at CH 6 (still without any sex obviously) - and then another "rewrite/re-render" is announced and it starts all over again - simply because the developer has lost any drive to actually finish the story - and can only milk patrons by doing something new - and what is better than re-releasing the same stuff, in even higher resolution and with slightly better animations.

A real shame that we have so few developers that actually release chapters and so many that worry about polishing their shit until it shines.

I'm not sure if I understood this, but how do you even compare the story/writing?
