First time I gave this game a try, incredibly good writing. I forgot to fap and spent 4 hours going through story, amount of tease is just enough to keep you invested. I really enjoyed going through the content so far and I'm really disappointed it's not finished because I want to know what happens. Also can't wait to get some epic sex scenes. Bit worried in how will relationships be managed once we inevitably enter harem phase. Hopefully there will be a lot of choices that matter and not just a fuck everyone I see type of story.
Ya, like someone else said, no harem in this game (which I'm happy about), but given the projected length of the game at ~30 chapters (another thing I'm happy about), I'm looking forward to this game having something akin to "relationship mechanics" where once the player is able to successfully enter into a relationship with one of the LIs, I think it'll be fun to see numerous scenes with the LI, both sexual as well as maneuvering around the assorted road blocks that the game will likely have here and there related to narrative-based-drama, other characters' jealousy of anything related to the MC or his inner circle, etc. The length of the game has the potential to create quite a living, breathing, world of engaging interest for us to enjoy and I'm very much looking forward to it. Hopefully once the re-works are done, the updates will come a bit faster as those re-works are likely making it so Ocean is working on effectively (3) different projects.

I showed screenies to my friend and he said they all like like Melania Trump and posted vomit emojis. How do I patiently explain to him that all these irl people and Kardashian wannabes get surgery to desperately try to imitate Monica Belucci lol
I normally try not to judge people I do not know at least a bit, but in the case of your friend I have the sad message that he is the victim of one of the worst plagues we currently have in the world.
Going only by WHO said/did/looks as something, instead of WHAT is said/did/looks as. This is strongest in the young generation, but present not only there. And this one thing which is bashing our societies against the railings at the moment!

Too many persons don´t get or do not want to get, that even people you do not like can have some really correct ideas/arguments on some topics, as it can happen that people you like have absolutely stupid ideas/arguments on some topics.

Replaying again the game because, well, is a fucking amazing game I'm in the bathroom when the MC has a panic attack and fuck, I'm really sad that Robin will not be a LI, I really think that she is an amazing character, and although I understand she is a support character and that's cool I think she is one of the most interesting girls in the game. Is an early fase, I'm sure the others girls are gonna be more important and steal my heart but man, I really like Robin.

Agree. But... Ocean created an ocean full of beautiful and attractive girls... And woman...
Totally agree, people are missing a lot of hotties because there are lots of them. Like I never see someone says how hot Cindy is, people simply overlook her but if she was in another game she would be worshipped by fans. It goes same for the main characters also. All I am wondering how many ending there will be, because each beauty will have own fanbase and if they won't have at least meaningful ending for their favourite, they will riot. :unsure:

At least attractive was probably the teacher, Maria, but she's with new hairstyle quite a looker. Coach Hill is a beauty too. Nojiko is "simple", but beautiful too.

We know that Ocean's random characters could be the main cast in practically every other game. The worst is black silhouettes...
I agree Ocean puts great detail in the full cast. When you have a fully built background cast that stands out, it ties everything together. You can even take it a step further and make a group of people gossip and let the Mc gain knowledge of events, Lis, or anything just from background characters. It just adds life to the story, or world.

That's not a bad idea, I would like that.

That was something I have never understood from some devs, why put this dummys into the scene? To let the - otherwise lifeless place - appear more vivid? Really?! I'm sure a mannequin, or many, that stands useless around like in some kind of crrepy movie makes the scene waaay more busy... o_O

Personally I would never put such a thing into a scene - a sure way to make a laughing stock out of myself. If I lack the computing power for such a scene would rewrite the scene to fit it for my hardware.

Luckyly, in this game this will never be the case.

That is not a bad idea and even implemented to the game somewhat at the bathroom scene. Though, wouldn't be too much of a hustle to deal with?

Probably to avoid buying a character, clothes, posing, could be to accelerate production. There is one game that comes monthly and use it, then I can understand that. (Fun fact: First game from this developer had no silhouettes and came out monthly too. And was way better then his second game) But no, I just don't like it.

My guess is that even background character models that are not in the camera focus still consume a significant amount of rendering resources, while mannequins are very simple to render as they don't have skin textures, shaders and whatnot.

Agree. The posing, composition, and attention to detail of the background characters is superb. I suspect the main cast may never even interact with many of these background characters.

Ocean is adding a feature called Nami's Photobook. It will have pictures Nami takes so that the MC can look at her photobook and get insight about people, places and events even if he was not actually there. That will also add depth to Summers Gone.
