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

[Sancho1969]

Fuck yeah, digital superhero's still exist.

I've spent the last 2.5 days (now 38+ hours) fixing all the bugs, massaging the scene transitions, adding missing images/sounds, etc to do this update correctly. "Mia" just dropped an update and that VN has a huge fanbase so my time is running out to finish this one but I'm doing my best to get this all sorted. I hope it meets this VN's fan approval... as I feel each update I've gone above and beyond for this dang title. It's always a complete rewrite which takes forever now that the VN is over 38k lines of code in total... there's no way to make a quality mod and fix all the VN issues in less time... no offense to other attempt meant but it's a fact.

I'm picky about details which makes me a bit slower but there's no way to fix this VN in less than 32hrs unmodded since I've PM'd the dev all the major ones I've found and know for a fact they aren't going to be resolved otherwise.

For you ummodded folks search my posts as there two very important hotfixes you will need if using the "patch" file... you'll be glad you took the time to do this I assure you.

Regardless, I'm grabbing an adult beverage refill and getting back to it... gotta get this update done and pushed public. Regards.

Yeah seems lately there's nothing worth downloading for 3-5 days straight then 5-10 all drop at once. For this particular one I'm used to waiting 10 months, even another 10 days for a good mod would be nothing.

ocean really nerfed the ass job scene with nami? damn

I sincerely appreciate you understanding the time ratio on this... I fix VN's for many devs that I collaborate with and sometimes Players don't realize how many manhours go into coding massive multi-mods. Sometimes I wish I was one of those babyshit-green colored "best choice" walkthrough-type modders.... but it's because of those that I started releasing my personal mods tbh.

There's just no way around it...if you want quality it takes time. If you want it fast then one sacrifices quality. That's the way the world spins, ain't it?

5k Patreon subs = 5k Patreon suckers. Lets just say that I only pay for kinks I actually like, this doesn't even have sex in it. Hell even Nami's ass job (the best scene of the whole AVN up to now) was removed (hip hip hooray to Sancho for putting it back). So I'd probably be cutting my losses if I was foolish enough to sub.

ok, good for you, but you don't need to get angry and complain about those who liked it, if you didn't complain ignore what I said, go invest your time in something you like.

I also really liked Nami's ass job, and I miss it a lot but I moved on and enjoyed the game

I fixed it...100% bud. It's just as it was in Ch3.5 release in SanchoGallery to the very last detail.... I got ya on the "grind".

Is it Android? On PC it should work from the last save if the last version you played was chapter 4.5 full. If it's Android then it's obvious why it ended there (that's the last version that's uploaded here).

Thank you! I really appreciate it.

But see that's the thing... with some patience before playing you can have the best of both worlds... that's my job and I will deliver. No need to take sides, both are going to be served as best can be to the best of my ability anyway.... for what it's worth.

Who the hell is Officer Laverne??? i never understood this one.

Do you mean the lewdpatch? I am using it, searching your posts in this thread and can't find anything about hotfixes for it so far or what those hotfixes fix for the patch. care to help a Nami simp out and share a link to them, please?

and for that I thank you very much


I just think that there are people who don't like something and force themselves to be present, to me that doesn't make sense

if you only want sex go play Ocean other game "Where It All Began " which is years before " Summer's Gone" the MC there already has a gf so it doesn't need relationship build up with her , therefore you have a sex scene right at the beginning. As for Summer's Gone , the dev always said that there will be sex scenes but since the MC is going through a trauma , it will be build up until he can surpass his trauma and advance to sex. "Summer's Gone" is more story focused , more realistic and deals with actual real problems . It is not made to be a "Sex VN" but " an adult VN where the story is the focus and the sex comes when it makes sense to come" and since the MC is slowly opening up and trying to let go of his trauma , it will eventually happen . Ocean isn't the only developer of adult novels that does this , for example " Leap of Faith" also puts the story first and sex only when it makes sense. I honestly prefer it this way , there is a lot of games where you can "beat one up" in this platform and you know what they all lack? A good story . I rather have a good story first , and sex scenes later than to have a bad story and too many sex scenes. Because for sex scenes there is a lot to choose here , but for good story, good renders and good animations there really isn't that much

We don't know yet - presumably a cop that shows up after whatever traumatic event transpired related to Summer's disappearance.

J Carma No problem.

SanchoMod Unmodded Fix #1
(for those getting exception error right before the beginning of Ch5's content) here

SanchoMod Unmodded Fix #2
(for those getting exception error in Ch3 due to the phone message app not having images) here

Regards.

Sancho, sounds like Ocean needs to subcontract some tasking to you when it comes to coding. Maybe you could help take some of the load off of his task list when it comes to the game.

 

[proximus]

Clarify. There's zero issue with any of the saves I have for SanchoMod so you must be speaking of the other mod. Just making sure it's clear.

But otherwise it doesn't matter anyway since some variables changed in Ch1/Ch2 so a fresh playthrough is actually required to be sorted regardless... and if the dev moves to RenPy v8.1 for Ch5 Full then you'll be replaying it yet again as well.

Just pointing out some facts so folks aren't confused (anymore than they might already be).

Correct, this is the first time I used mod for this game. Already started .4 and .45 from the scratch to see what was new and to refresh my memory. Saw posts that old saves don't work and not wanting to start fresh again, just downloaded first available walkthrough mod just to be able to fast forward the game. Then, I discovered that I could just start from .5 after answering few questions but didn't even attributed it to mod (thought that it was implemented by dev). Second poster asked if I used the mod and that is where all this came from. Sorry for the confusion, I used you mods before but wasn't aware that you made one for this game. There is only one mod option in OP.

Understood bud. I'm not wagging my finger at ya. Bummer about the VN's OP but I can't do anything about that. All I can do is let folks know they have options if they want them... doesn't matter to me at the end of the day their preference but they should be allowed to know what's available and what's best for their desire...it's the only reason I share my mods on this site tbh since I gain zero from doing it otherwise. Again, I wasn't scolding you, just setting the record straight so folks don't get confused further than the constant dev rewrites already are causing. Regards.

We PM each other. Ocean has hired coders before but they always fail the task and ghost. I'm not in a position to full time help any particular dev since I support so many behind the scenes via PM/correspondence. There's only so many hours in a day and I don't really plan on using them all up on a job when I'm basically retired at a semi-younger age (debatable). I have given all the main issues I find to Ocean and my suggestions privately so they are there for use as needed. Any VN I mod on I only want to serve the fans and have the VN succeed so of course I share my findings as a coder...and praises/frustrations as a fan.

Based. You are my favorite modder btw.

Pfft. I'm nobody bud...but I can fix the broken most times so we all can hopefully get what we want... remember I'm do this public release of work for VN's I'm a fan of otherwise I'd never bother and keep them all private. We float or sink in this boat together as fans.
