...

And this is only me, but where do the names Nami and Nika come from? Who named them? I mean, I know english language has some german origin and that would explain some names but what about Nami and Nika? Are they popular in Germany or something?
As a German I can only say no to both. Nika I would put more in the russian region and Nami... never heard that name before.

The Book Club was peak content. I loved the banter and bitchiness... Though it made it clear that this VN will most definitely never get finished. It's snowballing out of control.

Good job on making every girl very much likeable. The rework irked me at first but I've come to terms with it (except for turning Mila into an Abomination).

Nika and Nami gotta be William's unrecognized children, or some other Zane, but they're deffinitely related to Katie and maybe Sasha; that would explain the lack of Ayua content and why Sasha and Nami have Leiah's earrings.

I know the name "Nami" mostly from the anime One Piece.

I once saw on a forum that the developer is a One Piece fan. Although I cannot confirm or deny this, either way, these names can be found in the anime: , ,

Says the guy who thinks anything more than one girl at a time is a violation of galactic law. There's definitely something wrong with you, but it isn't perversion. ;)

And have you seen Charlie? My gawd. My poor MC is going to be trying to bang half the women in the book club.
MC: What's a Cougar?

Book Club next book:

Kama Sutra (because you know they are thinking it).

This was one of the best and funniest scenes in the Chapter!!

Cheers!! :coffee:

Wait, so dick renders would turn 'Summer's Gone' into an adult game on Steam, but hundreds of nude renders and close-up renders of ass & tits aren't going to? Also, if he can't release Season 1 as an adult game due to German laws, what's going to happen with Season 2? Is he going to move out of Germany or something?
One thing which also makes zero sense is that by not marketing Season 1 as a porn game, he is just going to either upset a bunch of people who bought Season 1 when they realize in Season 2 that they purchased part 1 of the porn game (yeah, guys, plenty of people have zero intention of being a porn gamer, lol) while he will miss a bunch of customers who aren't going to buy Season 1 because, well, it's not flagged as an adult game.

The only defense I can offer for my last argument is that a bunch of people who have no intention of playing a porn game will realize what they bought when they see the close-up look of the MC's 'mother' vagina in leggings and, of course, the infamous Nami monkey "sexy" dance, so instead they are just going to refund the whole thing lol but yeah still gonna piss of people anyway
Fuck Steam. I only use that for actual non-porn games anyway (and even then only when there's a 60%+ off sale on my wishlist and I can't find a cracked version), since their porn restrictions are almost as bad as Patreon's (that I don't spend money on at all for anything, no one should unless they like censorship). Actually buying a non-porn VN on Steam? As in just an oddball story to read with nice renders but nothing worth fapping to (without the choices it'd be just a glorified ebook)? Who does that with sites like this one? Really Steam is not as lucrative as everyone thinks anyway, particularly for porn. You will not suddenly hit the jackpot and get some cash windfall by getting what you make on Steam. Not only do they take a 30% cut of every sale but in most countries (including Germany I think) porn is not visible in their store at all, even if it does pass Steam's censors and get approved, mainly due to local laws that legally classify Steam as a place where kids hang out and since porn is only a small % of the content on there even in non-prude countries like the US getting it classified as an 18+ only site isn't worth it I guess so they just block it in those countries (and VPN's will not fix that, they go by billing addresses). As far as those that get conned into buying VNs or early access games that aren't finished yet and where anything can happen (including getting abandoned or evolving into shit that you didn't want or expect or things that you were hoping for that never happen like sex scenes), they are just a bunch of suckers. Fools and their money...

Nika sounds Russian to me. Nami sounds kinda Japanese. Or Korean like those plane crash deaths Sum Ting Wong, Wi Tu Lo, Ho Lee Fuk, and Bang Ding Ow (what a legend for that NTSB intern prank, totally worth it, even if fired by the gov't he has a bright future in comedy).

To this day, I still don't get half of these complaints. F95 is supposed to be an adult community... so why are so many of you being so childish? There are many creators here. So what if the story isn't up to your standards? Find something that is.

Like, I understand some of the criticism I've seen here. There are moments throughout the game where you're questioning the MC. But these are always explained within the story, often in following scenes and/or sequences. He's pushing himself to the extremes, resulting in increasingly severe panic attacks because he hasn't adequately coped with his own depression(not too uncommon in real life). I've also seen many people critique the sexual nature of some scenes, and I actually agree to an extent. Sometimes, an LI is out of place to strip and/or act suggestively. Oceanlab can work on executing those scenes/moments better so that they feel more natural to the player. When an LI suddenly starts undressing or behaving suggestively, if players ask themselves why it's happening, there's a flaw in the writing of that scene and the writing leading up to it. There needs to be a proper buildup of tension, and the emotional buildup needs to be clear for everyone to see. These components can make or break a scene's impact on its audience.

Upset with the development cycle? Just type in the search bar, "development cycle", and you'll see that it's been discussed countless times already. If that's a dealbreaker, then leave. Throwing a tantrum and insulting the dev and his supporters because you don't like waiting just makes you look like an idiot. Everyone knows that the development cycle is this game's biggest issue. You rudely bringing up a problem that's been explained many times before does nothing but make people not want to engage with you. "Hey... so I noticed that this game started development in 2018. Is there any reason why we're still in the first season?" How hard is it to do that? Instead, we get - "LOL this game's been in development for 5 years... you guys will NEVER see the end of this. I'll be lucky if my GRANDKIDS get to play this. If you're still supporting this scam of a dev, ur an idiot..." - The wait and circumstances behind it suck, but no one's forcing you guys to deal with it.

Upset with the lack of lewd scenes? That's also been discussed dozens of times since the development of Chapter 5 began. It was a business decision made so that SG could reach a larger audience. To my understanding, the only AVN from this website to successfully make it to the mainstream audience was BaDIK(and I think it got help from mainstream influencers, too? Idk). As crazy as it sounds, not everyone is interested in playing pornographic games. The average person doesn't even know they exist. The AVN community is very niche. Removing lewd material allows it to be advertised to the much larger mainstream audience that uses Steam daily. The fact that I even had to explain this is crazy to meღ

Edit: I honestly don't care about the facepalms at this point. I get not liking the game and what's happening with it, but some of you guys are just jerks. And by the way some of you replied to this, you're literally proving my pointღ
So - onto important things we enjoy talking about versus the sadly necessary times we have to address/respond to those who complain about Summers Gone.

How about that Book Club?

I think I will have to watch that full scene a few times because I am sure I missed nuances (and made choices) that I will want to catch/reexamine.

I can't wait until the next therapy session with Amber to see what she says and what she holds back when talking with the MC.

This makes me want the cabin visit even more!

I thought this was a Great release, from Bella/MC time at the beginning to Bella/Sis time at the end.

I loved seeing this other side of Bella as well.

Cheers!! :coffee:

Evil wall of text, begone with you!


Holy shit I love this game, chapter five was incredible, man it's incredible how waiting for months is always worth it in the end.

Bella and Nami, two incredible characters that I can't stay away from; the chemistry between Bella and Nika is simply incredible
You sound like a Dev alt or something lol

"Chapter Five was incredible" and how so? you just mention "it's incredible" like it's a fact, which it is not. If it was, you wouldn't have people complaining about it, and I don't mean the ones complaining about "no sex"
