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

[GeladoFeitan]

You can't really compare it like that because it doesn't scale linearly. Every update is different because of things like more renders added, different chapters reworked (and different renders), maybe Summer had an issue which caused the development time to skyrocket (think he became sick a couple times, and the recent dog sitting trip also comes to mind), so now its not a proper indicator of time taken to produce the update/ renders...

Then, like I said before, he really improved on his work ethic which caused the production time to sharply decrease, as seen in going from 4 Full to 4.5 beta. Then some issue came up which made the 4.5 Full release so lengthy... and so on and so forth.

When you add all those variables into the length of time needed per update, there's no reliable model which could predict development time for future updates with any amount of accuracy. So to say that 25% more renders = 25% more time is a bit... I dunno. Facile.

i get that but all these variables was on the last update too im not trying to be precise just trying to get close to when its going to be the update, i hope it doesnt take that long but since he says today is bigger it may take even longer than that and theres what i said still missing half of chap 2 rework, i know he is way faster now but the numbers i said was about chapter 3.5 to 4

i hope its way faster too, lets see how much time will take this one

Hey everyone, me again. Made a folder of Chapter 5 Previews while we're all waiting:

You must be registered to see the links

I'll add the nsfw treats as soon as someone uploads them.

Treats are not really previews. They are non-canon extra renders.

I think you made a typo.

Has Ocean said if the farm in SG is the same farm in WIAB?

Keep in mind that he is already 350 renders in which is a blistering pace, all things considered. He had 190 the devlog before the dog-sitting trip.

I asked and he would not confirm or deny- nothing wrong with a mystery.

If it is the farm in WIAB, and the farm is still the same in the time of SG, then that is great news since this asset will not need to be built from scratch. He may need to add in areas that are not used in WIAB but it will still give a jump start to any of the farm scenes in SG.

25% of 15 dev logs is almost 2 months more

prob end of the year

It's kind of pointless trying to quantify the extra 25%.

Ocean said, "It's around 25% bigger than my usual update size." Considering the last five updates had a low of 1,390 and a high of 2,300 renders (nearly a thousand render difference), I am not sure exactly what a "usual update size" is...

However, to hazard a guess based simply on previous render counts... with around 350 renders complete, there's likely at least 1,250-1,500 to go (excluding reworks and animation frames). Thus, Ch 5 will be ready when Ocean says it's ready...

Yeah, it's great he keeps it a mystery...

3. I recall something like Ocean stating there's five LIs still to be revealed.

And I bet these two are inside that list, and maybe Bella's aunt.

AFAIR, he mentioned the barn will be the same in both WiAB and SG.

Without seeing Ocean's original discord post, a forum member distilled it into "Update February 2023: as of Chapter 4.5, "less than 5" new LIs are yet to be introduced."

I guess it depends on the definition of "introduced" .... seen in the game but not yet properly introduced and/or named OR not yet seen in the game.

We are still waiting to find out the identity of the Rivera family first team basketball player. Are they a male, say, Jake or Dwight? Or are they one of the female players not seen yet but a potential LI?

Would be amazing if a super cool and generous patreon of Ocean can share everything using Kemono, innit?

For those who have questions about the barn (where the most recent Robin pics from the latest SG Dev Log were shown), this is part of the WIAB dev log that shows the barn and Ocean's response when I asked about whether or not this barn and the barn in SG are the same.

I swear I was planning to see if the barn shows up in present SG to compare it to the one in WiAB. Then I saw Robin's ass and I forgot what I was doing here.

But yeah, judging by Ocean's response I'll just say it's the same.

This is a very important environment, that will play a role through the entire first season.

Hopefully Summer's body is buried somewhere around that barn. Saves me the trouble of teaming up with Nami to chop her ass up into tiny little pieces if she ever shows up breathing, further down the line.

In the darkest recesses of the multiverse, Cheeto (a.k.a. Eurus) is the one responsible for 'the scheme.'
