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

[MaviusJones]

Ocean's greatest strength, and largest flaw is that he seems to be a perfectionist.

This allows him to create a masterpiece but also makes him second guess and rework constantly.

My fear is, at this pace, the tech will improve faster than he can update, and his perfectionist streak will result in continuously going back and redoing everything 'so it matches up with his current work'.

At some point you have to be willing to lock it in as is and continue to push forward despite the fact that his skills and the tech would allow him to 'make it better'.

Personally I'm still hoping that he hits it so big on Steam that he can afford to open an actual studio with employees and all the bells and whistles. Fingers crossed!

*Fortunately. I'm not one to kink-shame, but hopefully, their relationship stays normal for the rest of the story. Too many stories on this website involve a main character that sleeps with their entire family. While I cannot speak for everyone, Nojiko being a normal parental figure is almost a breath of fresh air considering the kind of stories that are normally on this website. It's one of the things that sets SG aside from your standard, run-of-the-mill AVN. I know it's wishful thinking at this point(especially if this last rework was anything to go by), but hopefully, their relationship doesn't changeღ

Even if I agree with you about that too many games force that, and I agree it's too much (not only incest kink, there are many other kinks that are overused) I speak specifically about character Nojiko. I don't hide it, she's a hot MILF and I think it would be shame to not include her.
I love this game and i only have to say that we agree to disagree in one point...

I think we need to be supportive regardless. Let's not forget what happened the last time a German had his art scorned.

I'm new here and I don't know everything, so I want to know what happened? I hope this is not the case when he drew Mile and her friend in a wheelchair (I don’t remember her name) big silicone balls ....

He was Austrian.

Hell yeah! Ocean let it slip once that the MC would be able to snort coke off her butt... Dark path!!! Dark path! D-dark p-path??

She's one of the best side characters, tough to estimate her age, her behavior doesn't say much, I would say she's in her thirties... We had some interaction with here. She's nice... And hot too...
If everything stay as it was written, we will have some fun with her... But not as LI...

i would definitely love see MC fuck the brains out of Coach Hill

I doubt you're alone with this thought...

 

[yossa999]

I doubt you're alone with this thought...

Ha! I've always wanted to drive this funny little buggy, but it's above my will not to sit behind Coach Hill and let Zara hug me tight while I hold Hill's boobs in my hands. What? Safety first, who can argue with that?

It's safer to drive the buggy behind coach Hill, she has those two massive... airbags? milkbags?
Yeah, safety first...

Yeah, safety first...

Just until ya find out that SHE has a DING DONG between her Legs.

That would kill the mood... really quickly... I hope she's not that...

 

[Trojaner]

Well, with what MC says to her and she to him .... i wouldn't wonder if it comes this way later

Maybe I'm wrong but Ocean used to render about 50 frames a day. Then he bought an A6000 and started rendering 30 frames a day. Now he wants to buy a workstation and it scares me a lot because if you follow this trend, it turns out that he will render about 10 frames a day.

I'm not sure where you came up with 50 renders/day, at least over the time of developing and releasing multiple revs of SG.

The 30 renders/day value makes sense based on the dev logs published in the last year.

The 10 renders/day value makes no sense to me.

Ocean has actually identified hardware as a limitation for some time.

* Whether it is renders in the que that need to be processed or scenes where he can't load the desired assets to create the scene he wants, hardware limitations have slowed him down.

He is fixing the hardware limitation with the new rig.

In one of his recent dev logs, Ocean said that 80% of CH 6 will require more VRAM than he currently has available - the new rig will fix this.

* The rework wraps up with CH 5 final so the time taken to redo CH 1 & 2 and fix continuity issues/music issues/and polish (CH 3 & 3.5) will disappear with CH 6.

* The other significant area where Ocean had to divert energy from render creation is when the freelancer who was supposed to create the phone did not get the job done.

Ocean had to take over the phone development work the freelancer was supposed to have done and every hour spent on phone dev is an hour not available for production.

This is the price of teaming with others - not every work hire turns out to be a good pick .

I'm looking forward to the phone integration in SG and I think it will help elevate Summers Gone over many other well-known AVNs.


Will it take many years to realize Ocean's vision for Summers Gone? -- Yes!

I am looking forward to the ride!

For a point of comparison: The first novel in the Game of Thrones series was published on August 1st, 1996 and the series is still incomplete.

Cheers!

The render count in the dev logs do not include animation frames that make up the lion's share in the total render count.
Just to give an idea this SG's update numbers (data courtesy of `Ray`):

Chapter	Static Renders	Animation Frames	Time elapsed	Render / Day
Ch 2	1494	1660	237 days	13.30
Ch 3	1797	4890	357 days	18.73
Ch 3.5	1390	2755	188 days	22.04
Ch 4	2300	7415	284 days	34.20
Ch 4.5	1520	3770	124 days	42.66

Hi everybody. I want to say: that there are very few porn games now that pay attention to the female body or in general to such things as man licking a woman's pussy, facesitting, female orgasm during cunnilingus, etc. I would really like this developer to still show similar things in this game. And if it was also a beautiful animation, it would be wonderful, just super! In all games there are many scenes with male orgasms and blowjobs. There are also many lesbian "games". But there are almost no scenes where a guy caresses a girl "from below" and brings her to orgasm in such games. In my opinion, this is unfair. Why am I asking for such an action in this particular game? Because there are beautiful graphics and a lot of beautiful girls. It seems to me that it is in this game that such things will look very beautiful. Nami, Sasha, Victoria, Mila, Bella, Ayua, Nadia, Zara, Vanessa, Amber, Nojiko, Karen... All of them, it seems to me, would look great sitting on the face of the main character's boyfriend... Well, or with her legs spread in front of his face and tongue...I hope that the developer will read my wish and consider my request.
