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

[Razrback16]

I didn't say clearly what I meant by that dialogue because I believed that someone who played this game would understand what I meant.

What I mean by that dialogue is to show MC's character, From the beginning of the game to the end of the update, he kept impressing me with his words and actions. Someone who has a lot of self-confidence and self-esteem after a big heartbreak, but at the same time, he is not arrogant. In hundreds of other places, MC's character impressed me.

In 99.99% of games, dialogues are repetitive and predictable, but in summers gone, it is not like that at all.

Ya I like how the MC mostly just minds his own business. He's direct and will be a jerk when appropriate. Reminds me a lot of myself which is probably a reason I like this VN as much as I do (not to mention Amber, holy shit ).

Hey guys, I'm just thinking about the next update, if I'm not wrong in September we will have the 5.0 beta, which will finish the reworks but not chapter 5 with new content, and later we will have the full 5.0. With chapter 5 and the new content, right? I'm asking because I don't want to play the 5.0 beta version and then go back to playing 5.0 full from the beginning

It's the other way around. First we get chapter 5 content in beta and then we will get chapter 5 full which includes the rework, and we'll probably get the Steam release at the same time.

Ohhhh shit thanks, i was wrong all the time hahaha , what a shitty situation. That make more sense to me

Doesn't 4.5 already have the ch5 content? That's the way previous versions worked

No? Never an x.5 had content from the next chapter.

 

[FunChaser]

No? Never an x.5 had content from the next chapter.

We already had 4full, so 4.5 can only be the first half of chapter 5, I suppose.

no, full refers to the fact that it is not beta, not to the fact that it is the complete chapter.



note how this update is called 4.5 full...

You are right, but Ocean will release SG season 1 (of 5 chapters) after the release of 5full. It means that 5.5 (if any) belongs to chapter 6, isn't it?

no, chapter 5 closes the season, so it would be more logical to think that 5.5 will not exist, just as 2.5 did not exist either, or 1.5...

 

[Kassandara]

Yeah well this is one thing that confuses me, or maybe I'm just dumb..
I remember Ocean saying that the .5 chapters are basically full chapters but they are just named .5 so the 1st season would be chapters 1-5, which looks more "clean" indeed.

So we have chapters 1, 2, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5 and finally 5.. so that's 7 chapters. I'm just wondering that are the 0.5s full chapters or not? Well now that I'm writing this I don't think it makes much of a difference Except will we now have 7/32~ chapters or 5/32~..?

What grief are you talking about? If you're talking about Summer, then it's not clear what happened.

In hundreds of other places, MC's character impressed me.

It became incomprehensible to me the behavior of the MC after reworking the game when he started crying for no reason.

Ocean said that the first season will introduce the characters. As you can see now there are a lot of characters that we do not know. Do not forget that the women's basketball team has not yet arrived, which sent all sorts of interesting selfies to the director. So what happens next is not yet clear.

 

[Don Sucio]

I suposse Ocean will finish the first season with 5.0 full (chapter 5 and reworks). For the second season he will release 6.0 as chapter 6, i don´t see Ocean naming all the episodes with 6.5 or 5.5 forever, this was an unique situation beacouse of the reworks, i think...

 

[Ottoeight]

You are absolutely right. 4.5 full is the first part of chapter 5 + the rework. The next update will be the second part of chapter 5, and when the rework is finished it will be the end of season 1. so 5.5 will be the first part of chapter 6 and the beginning of season 2.

no, chapter 5 closes the season, so it would be more logical to think that 5.5 will not exist, just as 2.5 did not exist either, or 1.5...

We talked about this and Ocean himself explained. FunChaser and Sin_Mechero are right: 4.5 is the first half of chapter 5. Chapter 5 full will mark the end of Season 1.

OK decided to finally give this game a try with all the reviews and talk it has surrounding it and I don't mind a story driven slow-burn.
Now question I have is does MC ever change and become more approachable?
First few minutes of the game and he shows signs of being a psychopath, a sociopath, and on the spectrum.
Im not that far in and just got to the college introduction but his whole demeanor the entire time has been nothing short of super unlikeable.
The renders are beautiful and the girls seem somewhat interesting atleast so far.

I didn´t play the old version of the game so i´m not an expert here and i don´t know what happens in future actualizations, but you have to know that Mc has a trauma,and with the time he should change and be more "normal". But i don´t know how normal can be a person with his trauma...

I'll add to the response from Don Sucio - Ocean is redoing the very early scene where the MC does something dark.

He shoots at Miss Marla's foot and seemed to expect that the gun was loaded with blanks.

That was a scene from the original SG and no longer fits his vision for what SG is.

By the time you reach CH 4, you will find that the MC is working on dealing with his trauma and he is actively trying to be neutral versus making new enemies left and right.

I won't say more - spoilers - but you will see him getting the opportunity to make choices that lead him towards more normal 'people' relations.

Ok thank you very much for the answers.
I kinda figured there had to be change if the game was as loved as it is but didn't hurt to ask.
Great answer appreciate it greatly and gonna stick with the game and continue with it then.

I think you've found a gem in Summers Gone!

There is a lot of great music in SG season 1 and there has been talk about a mod that restores the original music tracks to SG (I have not checked it out - and I don't know status right now). Ocean had to remove some of the music due to licensing issues so what you get here, on F95 with the mod should be even better, from a music perspective.

FYI - Ocean is still redoing the last 1/3 of CH 2, so if you play through the end of CH 4.5 content, you will hit a speed bump in render quality and some story lines that might feel a bit off (It will go away once you reach CH 3). I just wanted you to know in advance, so you understand what is happening when you hit that 'speed bump.'

Enjoy!
