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

[idontdreamwhenisleep69]

Did you account for the fact that Ocean works on 2 games and it's the other game's turn right now?

He 2 separate PCs rendering each game.

Man, I love Bella, but it broke my heart to see Nami cry, fuck this game, fuck this dev and fuck every single person that recommended this amazing game. Instead of a blueballing warning, we should have a too much feels warning.

My only solace is the fact that people seem to imply that Nami + Bella is possible, because I am already regretting my choice.

It better be possible...

Based on what Ocean has said about the current equipment, that's not the bottle neck. It's the time Ocean has to spent to create the art. And unless there's a human cloning breakthrough, Ocean must still divide time spent for 2 games instead of one.

You know what game just absolutely fucking broke me? My Bully is My Lover. (Which he's got to come with a better name for, or at least one that makes telling people this not quite so embarrassing.)

The thing I've discovered I like about this medium, when it's something other than pornography, is an element of completely unselfconscious melodrama I've never come across anywhere else in modern fiction. I mean, Summer's Gone is about a traumatized grouch picking which girl to date freshman year of college, and Ocean's turned that into a grand Byronic tragedy through sheer aesthetic power and totally unwavering commitment to the idea that it all matters.

I can't think of any other contemporary form that can pull off that level of sincerity. Even the best of it has this morbid level of self-doubt baked in from the get go. As if every human passion is just a passing malady to get through on the way to a proper state of broken indifference.

Haven't checked out that game, but "My Bully is my lover" is a very trashy anime sounding title, and kind of makes sense with the aesthetics. Will probably check it out, how far long is the content for it?

Summer's gone has plenty of content already.

I know I'm late into this and that I will get banned by mentioning another VN, but I think I've found the new LoF, and that is the biggest compliment I can give since that VN had the best story out there, and Summer's Gone matches it to the punch!! Congratulations and keep up the good work!!!!

Funny you should say that. While this game has been slow in development, with rework of earlier chapters still ongoing, it actually predates LoF by nearly a year!

Not sure if I agree with it being as emotional quite yet. That game had me in tears. Either way, both good games.

SG has much better visuals but the tradeoff is that it is going to take so much longer to complete, this seems to have actually started before LOF like another poster said. Wow. There are pros and cons to perfectionism.

At no point did I disagree with that or even mention it. Not sure what you're on about lol

I wasn't being confrontational or even disagreeing but offering my take on the comparison between two extremely good games on this site.

I'd say there's about as much content? It's much, much sillier than SG, (though what isn't?), but it's got a way of slowly sneaking more and more of these little heartbreaking details into what seems at first like another ridiculous porn game. And all of sudden it's 3 in the morning and the masturbation fodder you downloaded to while away a few hours of insomnia just made you weep.

"Summer's gone has plenty of content already."

I mean, so does The Lord of the Rings, but you can't just keep rereading it for the rest of your life.

Welcome to nihilism young padawan. There is a whole world out there to not care about.

I don't think so. I think it's just some kind of intellectually decayed epicurianism plus malaise. Real nihilists tend to be remarkably immune to self doubt. Their own conclusions are the one thing they fervently believe in, with a faith that would make a saint blush.

 

[Mortarion]

Yeah, but the unpatched version of the game still can't decide if it's Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde

Hopefully, Ocean will clean this all up one way or another in future releases.

Maja is Victorias sister, confirmed by Oceanon discord. Search for the last couple of posts from here here, and you will find a screene from discord with the proof. The stuff mentions this in chapter 2 is still pre rework, and the other stuff in chapter e is a mistake.

Here on April 4, is the dev log out yet?

This. I can't remember where I read it, but apparently in early chapters a Vic/Maja trouple path was going to be possible, and Maja wouldn't be dateable unless you also included Vic. Now that Maja might have a solo path and the trouple won't longer happen, they're confirmed to be sisters and not just 'roomates'

When you came for the beautiful women and got wrapped up in the sexy story.

That is a sign of just how good Summers Gone is!
