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

[Ilhares]

Concerning Bella, I don't think that the fact that she doesn't strangle you anymore remove any characterization. We still can see that she is struggling, that she is sad and hurt.

I disagree somewhat here. There's a significant difference in perception of a person when you think they're sad/maybe angry vs. violent and sad/angry. Somebody without the violence streak isn't somebody to be remotely afraid of. Knowing that she could go off and break you in half lent her character an air of danger and encouraged caution.

Without that, she's just another semi-whiny emo seeming chick in my book. Which, sure, might be perfect for the way MC starts out here, but it's taken her down notably from where she was.

He said he has a narrow waist but broad shoulders, hence a good body structure. He forgot to say nohomo though.
Now being more serious, the gymbros I got to meet at my local gym would compliment each other often, and they would be as helpful as Jeff was with MC with new members, didn't matter if they were men or women. (They helped me the first weeks I joined, luckily for me they didn't shout at me 'TWO MORE', or I would have cried).

They made me perk my brow multiple times and look at them in disbelief, but... yeah. Sometimes they can say curious stuff that we women or non-gymbros can understand.

Yeah, I know, You just don't say that naked in the shower, alone, lmao

Ocean is beating Summer's Gone with the mainstream stick so hard it's turning into a generic pulp. Just another dime a dozen on this website.

Never thought I'd miss the over the top edginess of the first few releases....

Yeah, It's not like she tried to beat the shit out of you and wrestle with you out of the blue .

Nami must be the most beautiful and beautifully rendered character I've ever seen. All the characters here are beautiful, but there's something special about Nami.

Btw, about paths, are any paths more favourable towards the MC/Nami relationship?

The one thing I hope oceans get fixed or doesn't have to worry about after this update is the music seems every update he loses a few song

I dont see how harem is possible in this game despite being able to pursue all the girls just about. I can see some relationships with 2 girls being into it but I think in general as the game goes on, there are going to be a lot of bad ends when the MC gets caught trying to shag everyone.

Considering how long it's going to be before he can shag anyone, I just don't foresee that as a real worry.

This game has never meant to be harem. Some girls will be willing to share MC with another girl (as long as they're compatible), but in the end you will have to make your choice.

Can't wait to see who she really is.

EDIT: She only joins the gym and sends Robin to lure MC in if you have shown interest in Bella, if you don't Robin doesn't invite you to join them. What does that tell you?

i cant wait either but like ocean said its going to take a while for her story that makes me sad everyday

Nice renders, but this mc is so shit, dev making all the women like the mc, he doesn't even have a boner, Im a NTR hater, but this time this game needs 10 BBC to cuck this one, so unlikeable.

 

[Nercoz]

Heyo!

I was thrilled to see SG while browsing the latest updates, but apparently that joy was short lived.

Not trying to hate, but I'm honestly baffled we got another rework instead of some new content.

Tried reading & searching the thread but couldn't find any relevant info - do we know when/if we'll be getting any new stuff, and if so in what quantity?

Also, I see there are new scenes, so how much new stuff is there anyway?

Once again, not trying to be a dik here, I'm genuinely interested as this is one of my favorite things on this entire website.

Cheers & thank you

The fact that I can no longer tell you in which chapter she looked better is exactly my point. Maybe it's just me but I notice her body change in size and shape from scene to scene. Ocean is making her "thiccer" with every update/rework. She looks great at the lake, in the gym, the night where they get drunk on the couch with that yoga outfit and the jacuzzi. She even looked good to me before the rework. Sure her face and hair were a bit fucked up but body wise, still great. I started to notice in 4.5 when you go out with her to grab pizza. Her ass and hips look are larger in that scene with the blue panties than ever before. Shit hit the fan with 4.5 full. She straight up looks ugly to me in some scenes/shots like "the wiggle" one.

I truly hated every single bit of the new update tbh. Girls look worse. New characters being injected retroactively. Story beats changing drastically. The MC's personality went from interesting to weird cringetard. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the source of his trauma was Summer playfully shoving her pinky up his ass and he snapped at the cabin. Then she moved away with her family. Every ounce of captivating atmosphere and storytelling is being washed away by generic "fixes" with every update to the point SG is borderline uninteresting to me now. I'm well aware I'm in the tiny minority here. And that's fine. At least everyone else can enjoy it.

I'm in agreement. While i didn't hate every single bit of it... there was some good stuff.... but this rework is pretty much a downgrade to the game. I wish Ocean just improved the quality of the renders and left everything else as is.

next update is going to be chapter 5 with the rest of chapter 2 update so there will be new stuff with chapter5 and the rework of rest of chapter 2 after that its only new stuff i hope, but its prob going to happen in 6-8 months if we are lucky

Btw, about paths, are any paths more favourable towards the MC/Nami relationship? View attachment 2459914

If you pursue Bella's path then Nami will sorta let you know that she's in love with you sooner, at the lake in Ch 4. Otherwise she'll sorta tell you in Ch 4.5. Either works really but it looks like you've already confronted her about her feelings for you in Ch 4.5 based on that render. The Lake in Ch 4 though will be different with her depending on if you've kissed Bella.

Pursuing her path in each chapter is pretty straightforward though, and at the end of Ch 4.5 you will get the option to go into her room to kiss her to show her your affection for her.

 

[Garvelt]

That's another thing. Emotion. The whole reason many of the audience flocked to Bella was because of her interactions with the MC. It was somewhat obvious that she was putting up a front and wasn't really a bad person. Her interactions and dialogue in the previous version did a good job of showing that. Her interactions with the MC in this new version... don't carry the same emotional weight as the previous version. In the previous version, their interactions functioned as a buildup to her confrontation with MC at the mention of her sister. You could feel the pain and raw emotion in her dialogue, and when she choked MC, we, as the audience, knew how unstable she was. Now, in this rework, the overall feel of that scene is not there. The confrontation changed too much, and not in a way that benefits their subplot. The old scene showed everyone that maybe this girl is a little unstable. The new scene didn't do as good of a job conveying that. Oceans should have just upgraded the renders/art and fixed the grammar within the dialogue. All of those changes weren't needed. At least when it comes to that scene.

I don't agree with you on this one. I think the changes were necessary in order to bring both Bella and the MC closer to the characters they are in the newest chapters. Even before the rework, there was a noticeable change in both of their behavior with the start of Ch3, which could be argued was the start of Summer's Gone 2.0. The MC became less of an edgelord, while Bella went from a psycho to a more relatable character that she consistently is from Ch3 onward. The older version might have been more emotional/raw, but those characters were not really the same as the ones we know from the new chapters. The back and forth between them is still pretty much there and with the rest of the rework I think the whole story is just going to flow so much better than it did before.
