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

[PaxHadrian17]

Not only that but why would they buy a VN on Steam or anywhere else when it's here for free? That also doesn't even have sex in it. That's like paying $1 a liter for 3% saline solution in the middle of the Pacific. Without the sex it's actually worse, like same scenario only it's dehydrated 3% saline solution (30g of salt only, just add your own 970 mL of pure water).

Gifting a game to interested friends and family members is Very easy on Steam.

Sharing links and explaining pirate downloads on F95 is Not something as easy nor is it something I could do with everyone in that same audience.

Now, perhaps your family and friends are different, and they all know about and use F95. If so - that is fine.

It is just not the reality for others.

I'm looking forward to gifting SG to a number of people. It is, in Season 1, a great story with adult elements and therefor more mainstream.

If they like it enough to choose to download Season 2 when it is available or to wishlist it on Steam, I will continue to gift it; if not, I won't.

So That is why Steam is a Very good venue for sharing Summers Gone and building the fan base.

Cheers!!

This scene is PATHETIC!
You have a SLUTTY hot PIECE OF ASS WITH A WILLING WET<> STEAMY CUNT begging to be stuffed and penetrated right on top of you and he can't get it up!!!!!!!!!! AND when the hell did this guy ever tell Bella he had boner issues!?!!? Hello!?!!? Did I miss Something?????? As far as I remember he only told Nami................................................
This guy should be the main character of CUCKED GAME. Not this one.

PATHETIC!

Lucky you, you evidently have never suffered from depression.

There should be a new tag for some games, with the tag "just talk", this tag would work well in this game! I played once and never again!

C5 was quite good, MC/Bella's relationship is going at quite a steady pace in terms of progression. Not too fast but not too slow, they both are broken and scared inside, knowing that dating each other ain't gonna be easy but still worth a shot. I know many folks here think its too slow paced but going by the story till now, it is perfectly fine. It's just the time and gaps between updates that makes you feel like this game is a huge slow burn.

Those Milfs Cougars need to get dicked, all of them were quite beautiful and pretty much drooling over MC.

Looks like in next Chapter we might get to see some backstory regarding Bella's sister or what really went down that she ended up like that.

It will be quite interesting to see when MC and Cheeto move in with Mila and Bella arrives there too.......

I don't really expect any dicking with the LI's atleast for 2024 as there is still lot to go for that to happen. All of them are too invested in their personal problems to go breeding.

If dev was working just working on SG full time rather than working on 2 games at the same time. the amount of story progression till now would have been a lot. I am not criticizing dev or saying the updates are small in terms of renders or animations but yeah given the time since this game has been in the making, the gap between the updates, reworks...... I would have preferred had he just focused on this one cuz even with WIAB there ain't much story in the rework too so why not just put it on the back of the line.
Going by the current progression, this game is gonna take 5-10 years to reach the ending. Unless he has a big workstation and a good team that can reduce the gap to 3 months.

you know that one misstep and bella is cutting your dick off right?? that means mc has not only dysfunction erection he will be DICKLESS for real

Icing the Bella relationship bugged me this update, she seems unaffected after spending 3 updates pinning and crying for this relationship. I know its narratively necessary to make it no strings, or break up, because every other girl is so far behind in development, but I think it was way to abrupt. Almost like it never happened. Apart from the ending she barely reacts different outside of their scenes together being cut from the playthrough. Reminds me of shitty Mr. Dots coding where if you break up with a LI it just checks you are on her path and gives the same dialogue as If you never pursued that girl in the first place. I think Ocean overdid it...

Side note, Oceanlab, playing from the start I kinda accidently ended up with a save where I was dating Mila, Vic, Nami and Bella and most were aware of it and at ch4.5 I noticed that I was missing the Vic date variable and I wonder if it was a bug. Basically I was making a Bella save(with Nami on the side), but asked Mila out, refused Vic initially but at her house took her for a walk and changed my mind and said I want to go out with her.

The dialogue recognizes that I already invited Mila and Vic says I should go with Mila first and figure it out, BUT the next scene MC and Mila are making out behind the wall, while Vic and Nami build the fort, next Victoria is Kissing MC on the couch and Nami and Mila find them and no one seems to be bothered. Its confusing, if its supposed to be like that but the dialogue needs to be reworked to make it more clear why Vic seems to let the MC go for Mila 1st and decide if he still want to go with her later, but one scene after she puts the moves on him seemingly not bothered about Mila anymore

Not at my home PC, so can't look exactly at variables, but this was the gist of it.

Personally, I liked the update. Yes, it's a slow burn, but there were a lot of plot reveals:

If this happens to you, roll with it, don't question it. Trust me!

A yes, that's totally how setraline works

I love the game to death but for a game that prides itself with how it handles mental health, that scene with the antidepressant was just a stretch like damn (then again it is a porn game but that besides the point)

Just leaving this here:
" The time it takes for Zoloft (setraline) to start working varies from person to person. You may experience some improvement within the first one to two weeks of treatment. However, generally, it will take about four to six weeks or, in some cases, up to eight weeks for you to feel the full effects of the medication. "

The lewdpatch had an trojan in it, atleast my virus protection said so......

I feel Ocean has made a rod for his own back making the MC THAT broken and it came home to roost this episode. This episode the Bella route reached the point where them two should be sexual. Bella wants to fuck, the MC wants to fuck, they’re close now, they’re attracted to each other, share a goal, they’re similarly broken to the point of getting one another, they decided to have something casual with the potential for it to be serious plus it's the end of the first season. The build up there is done. This really feels like the point that made sense for it to happen.

Without mentioning it's simply not very satisfying to be playing an MC that outright can't fulfill his part of the dynamic it'd be like playing a FPS where the MC can't shoot guns due to PTSD there's a limit on how long that can work. The real reason I feel is the whole “no sex” made Ocean feel he couldn’t give one route sex as it removes justifications for why it isn’t there on any other route. It feels like no sex and broken MC have become more like principals to follow rather than something that adds to the story.

Basically I feel Ocean shat the bed with this episode. It also ain't a great sign that it looks like routes will basically spin their wheels until all the routes are at the point sex makes sense. It feels a bit absurd.

Damn reaction limit
Man, I think now you've felt a little bit of what MC feels because of his heart dick problems. Frustration, misunderstanding, a feeling of helplessness due to the fact that he isn't able to change his state immediately. Just recall it, that the author constantly focuses our attention on this in the game, and we always brush it off with “yep, sure, broken emo, mental problems, okay, now cut the crap and give us a quality time with <waifu_name>."

Well, he has a perfect moment with Bella in chapter five and so what? And nothing. But isn't that what he was trying to explain to Nami after they left the bar at the end of Chapter 3 before his date with Bella? That it wouldn't work out even if Bella wanted to spend the night after the date with him. That this panic shit won't go away with the snap of a finger. That's why he's willing to take the therapy sessions with Amber seriously instead of just bullshitting to her and pranking the nosy Bella.

And these attacks hit him hard, he had a few exciting moments with the girls at Vic’s - he'll have to run to the bathroom to catch his breath and regain his composure. The same shit in the reading club, a panic attack out of the blue (not really, there are events that provoke this) He can’t cope with this yet. Do you think it would be a good idea for him to try to please Bella in this state in another way, even if he can't get a boner? If he panicked after a slight physical contact earlier.

The dude is still sick and taking the first steps towards recovery, but most of us don't pay much attention to it, as if it were some kind of background decoration or a strange outfit, a minor element of the story. But this is one of the main plot points so far, and many scenes in the game are affected by this.

SeRtraline, but yes, you are right it does take a while.

Way to much meta irony about there being no sex scenes, I would not be surprised if Ocean opens 6x1 with a lewd scene. If it was just one, or two mentions I would think that its just Ocean taking the piss about the usual 'trolls', but it happened too on the nose and multiple times in this update, it feels more like self deprecating humor at this point.

We know - because the Author Himself told us - that 0.6 (and maybe 0.7 too) still won't have sex scenes.

And that's not meta irony: it's a scene where an embittered young woman is venting her frustration about the fact that her man is impotent. Which is not a trifle, I guess.

That's majestic, guys: we have an adult game where the MC is impotent.

You summed it up pretty good.
It's not his wiener that is faulty, his brain can't cope.

Friends and relatives of mine have experienced situations where they'd rather jump out the window than go through the motion of what lies ahead.

It's alright brother, he'll get another pill of sertraline and his boner appear to exist.

Did he tell that after he revealed that the no sex thing(as some already suspected) is not entirely for immersion purposes and in fact very much about keeping it away from the adult tag on steam?

We've known for ages (years?) that there'd be no sex in season 1.

The no genitals in season 1 is new, the reasoning for which has been explained by Ocean & others multiple ties.
