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

[Penfold Mole]

I still do not understand what is the meaning of that, why call it chapter 5.5 and not Chapter 6? This just confuse me

My guess is probably as good as anyone else's, but I think that Ocean might already have enough of the story written and divided into complete chapters. And he's using the same "index table" to keep track on the story and updates.

At least the complexity of the readable story we see already and the existence and complexity of the parallel background story or stories we see only some glimpses of in the various backgrounds, suggests that he has been building a large and complex world for quite some time already and the story we see through the eyes of Nika is just a (possibly small) part of it.

Nia lovers will thank me for that later.)

Nia boys will like what I added in the polishment.

The only thing i could read,
and we'll see after waiting so long for something other than a blonde domination,
and finally a redheaded gothic beauty...
whether we 'll thank you " and like it" !!

Her patience is running out,
she wants attention and finally come forward,
she deserves all the attention in the world.
Give her air,give her love !!

I just finished the first playthrough and I'm pretty amazed by how the characters develop throughout the story, especially Bella whom I thought was a massive bully but in the end turns out to be something else, and so is MC whom I mistakenly thought is a legit edgy/emo in the first episode which make me cringe turns out to be someone vastly different than I thought he would be.

Anyway, I'll be waiting until OceanLab decides to write more about this amazing overly competitive brunette though.

On the discussion related to Maja, I do feel bad for the guys who are in on her as she's very pretty - I'm not on that route and I don't like throuples much, but I think that might have been a nice way to go for people into Maja where maybe they could do a throuple with Vic so that Maja could be onboard without leaving Vic out in the cold, but I guess not per Ocean's comments.

I'm probably in a minority, but I think Vic is fine by herself. Maja is hot for sure, but Maja and Vic in a throuple, no thanks. Vic's character needs to evolve past needing Maja's overprotective safety net. Having a disability doesn't mean she needs to be babied. Vic is a naïve sweetheart and one of my favourites. As a character she needs to grow to be just a sweetheart without the naivety. She can't do that under Maja shadow. I think Ocean wants to explore that path with Vic.

Are there any plans to rework chapters 1, 3 or 4 after 2? I mean 1 is slightly reworked but not fully but is he planning to do the whole rework thing for the entire game? should I just wait?

There'll be no more rework after the upcoming Ch2 rework. Ch1 is already fully reworked.

Can you tell me what changed in chapter 1? The last time I played the game, there was no cinematic at the beginning and at the end of the episode, was that the only change?

 

[PaxHadrian17]

do you really think there wont be any (new) reworks in the next 3-4 years?
mark my words - if SG ever reaches ch7, that will be the biggest surprise in this gaming history (and we recently had milky city update after a few years ).

this dev is one of the top, no doubt there, but huge talent and even bigger ambition are his (and his players) biggest curse...

I'd be surprised if we have another rework of Season 1 once Season 1 is released on Steam.

Ocean has about 1/3 of the Ch 2 content to redo (as well as verifying continuity/polish so the transition into Ch 3 is as seamless as he can make it.

He's also added a new Victoria cinematic for Ch 1, including a new song for that cinematic, based on the most recent dev logs.

The Steam release is the whole point of the rework that is being done, and from a resourcing perspective - I'm All for the rework and the benefit it will give his Steam release.

I also think we'll see SG Ch 7 and beyond.

As to the MilKy City release - it turns out that it was a Beta per Onyxdime - with some major changes from the last release - Celia has been removed for example... No ETA for the 'final' update.

Summers Gone is Ocean's story to tell and I'm happy to enjoy and support SG for as long as he is creating it!

Cheers!!

If you're skipping content in search of sex scenes, it'll probably be even faster.

nope i love summer gone so i enjoy playing it again and again, just that my point here is the update should have a longer play time to maybe 30mins right so that atleast it's satisfying to play it

Agreed. Sad to see Maja not be in there for those interested in her. Solo routes are good, but a throuple would have fit well there for people who are into those.

The entire section at the school was changed, both in terms of graphics, and the story.

 

[KhamulTG81]

But is she lewdable?

Amber is a full LI... so yes

TL;DR: No it's not It's probably between 2 and 3 hours of the new content.

So what 30min, or 15min, or 10min are you talking about?

You can be a great artist and make amazing photorealistic renders, but no one will call you The Artist.
You can come up with great characters and an immersive story with beautiful dialogues, but no one will call you The Writer.
But once you fuck a sheep rework a chapter in the game...

Ocean will not rework anymore... Earlier chapters needed the rework because of the leap jump in quality increase over the last 2 years... The difference would have been to enormous, so it had to be done...

Man, I know, it was quite obvious. I still have nightmares about old Bella on meth at the gym.
But other people still refuse to accept this and build theories based on their own false assumptions.

They don't know Ocean, simple as that... I had multiple conversations on his discord with him... And he is german like myself and we go into things with a somewhat cultural midset...
