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

[Deleted member 2528490]

That’s so weird. When I had just played the game for the first time, I was practically sure everyone would if not love then definitely like and sympathize with MC. Turns out, he gets tons of hate. Let me just ask: for what? I’ve read replies, of course, but the best people could come up with was "He’s a whiny asshole". Huh?

To be fair, the game starts out with the MC talking about how easy it would be to kill someone who just got railed by a car and has signs of becoming a paraplegic, then (depending on your choice) attempts to kill someone. He's manipulative of others. Cold, rude, and a little shit if you choose those options. And. He IS a whiny asshole. There's reasons for his behaviour, but that doesn't change the MC is a dickhead. Its intentional, and yeah, it'll rub some people the wrong way.

So its easy to see why some people really don't like him. And I say that as someone who likes the MC.

It's the people here. They're here in a porn forum expecting to play a porn game where they can bang chicks left and right. They aren't here to have feelings and read story. Despite the obvious warning at the very start of the game, there will be people who would ignore it and expect the macho guy sex bomb porn game. You can lead a horse to water ...

I don't think there is anything unnatural or unrealistic about the main characters current personality, some people who experience trauma take it out on everyone else, some people don't, I am just of the opinion that the former are pricks. Moody asshole MC's are fine, as long as the development is there, and so far I'm impressed with the development the character has made.
He'll probably be relatively well adjusted by the end of the game(ideally depending on player choices), I'm a fan of seeing that kind of development, but I guess it's not for everyone

 

[Thrawcrazed339]

Could be actually.

In trans "off", she has a scene with nami in the shower, something about shape of pubic hair. I don't remember exactly. Has anyone with trans "on" saw this scene as well?

yep it's there in the 'Trans on' too when you invite Nami to gym.

 

[RexGenocide]

So the MC has his little problem but supposedly got hard in the closet? Which is it.

He wasn't having a boner, she just imagined it.

 

[Thrawcrazed339]

Plan to be. Most likely.

Although it's possible she's already been introduced but nobody knows about it. It's clearly not Nadia anyway...

I am 100% sure it's Sonya

 

[MOAR Cowbell]

We need more Nami js or at least for us Nami fans

 

[Havik79]

Thats impossible dude, she is from Iran and muslim, summer was not like that

I was born in New Zealand, lived there till I was one, been in Australia for 40 years, so your point is mute.
More so since she is white, when do you see a white person from the Middle East.

 

[WeirdWorld]

What I personally want to know is why the muslim chick(or whatever she is) is on the front cover of the game. Does the dev just like her design? Or is she actually the most important chick in the story? Because right now she seems the most boring of the lot, and honestly right now I can't imagine her being more relevant than any of the other heroines.

lol Do you want to explain to me what your personal case has to do with what I have said? So if you are white you can no longer be Muslim or from Iran? She says it, also that not a girl whose parents do not let her play a role-playing game cannot be the same girl who years ago went to her friend's house without any problem and kissed with the MC while she threw him down.

uhm, have you ever been in the middle east, or iran
if not google a bit, check a few movies, or just look at kardashians (a bit darker type, yet close enough).

doesnt matter who is on banner/cover - things change as the game progresses...for every chapter a different chick/banner could be posted.
though regarding "muslim chick" she probably is one of the most intriguing girls here, and unwrapping her should be a lot of fun.

I think MC would recognize Summer if she's this or that chick. I mean, it's not like he saw her last time 30 years ago or something, and considering all those emotions towards her, no way she could go "undetected"...

Not to mention, Summer recognizing the MC. Unless we're on some amnesia plot, if any of the girls were Summer and saw the MC, she'd be jumping him right away.

You're assuming She wants to be recognized. And I think that when a person leaves for X reasons and then comes back (to know why) they may not want to be recognized (yet)

This is all hypothetical

Hrmmmmm. I dunno, that sort of scenario just doesn't feel likely to me, with how things have played out so far.

But I suppose you're right. That is a possibility. I still don't see MC not recognizing her, though.

Little late to the party but here's my tier list. Basically Nami and Bella, and then a large number of the girls conglomerating around A/B Tier as we've not seen enough of them yet but their renders/character models look great.

shame on you man (and not for being late)- one of hottest ebony chicks in these games.... in the last place
btw, what is the point of those tiers/rankings...for me all girls here are top tier

 

[Housewife]

none of the girls present are Summer. that would be too predictable. it will appear (if it appears) when mc has a huge crush on Bella. the author does not just make a game, he makes an interesting game, with drama, and he is good at it. take the last scene, for example. I also had tears in my eyes, so he's doing everything right

however, I am very worried that history will not repeat itself as in acting lessons, when when the mc is faced with a choice of who to save and who will die. this made me give up this game right away. yeah, shit happens, but why do it like this?

well, probably a wish to the author - do not get hung up only on ms and girls around. he seems to be studying at the institute but there are 2-3 guys there and we don't see more yet. are the others extinct, or is it the institute of noble maidens? where is the competition, quarrels, fights over a girl? the best friend who will listen to you at the bar over a bottle of beer..

In general, I look forward to continuing, and good luck

Yeah, but the dev hasn't been changing her, right? She's been the banner since it's been released.

As for her being the most intriguing, I mean I have no problem with this opinion, I'd be interested as to why you think so but it's not as though I'm complaining that's she's the banner, I'm just curious as to why. I mean she has no real relation to the MC at the moment, so it's hard to imagine her being the main heroine. At first I thought she was Summer, given the title and subject of the game and all, turns out no, she's just a random heroine. I guess this could change later though.
