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

[John972]

I replayed because my saves failed but I'm in the same boat as you. I knew what was happening and so it was obvious to me. Not sure if other players get it straight up. Also there's only like 2 frames that show Miss Marla, I wonder if that comes across right.

Yeah, I am not sure how I would've perceived the scene if I didn't already know what was about to happen.

When Ocean redid the cinematic, he chose to take out the brief segment where Victoria is shown in the car headlights after the MC tried and failed to reach out and pull her back. I always though that was excellent visually because it clearly signaled exactly what was about to happen and had emotional gravitas.

Now, the cinematic goes from the MC trying and failing to pull Victoria back straight into a long shot of the scene after the accident.

My first impression was that the scene no longer made it immediately clear that Victoria was hit by a car. But I'm not a first-time player, so I don't know if that's a valid impression.

wait wtf are there no sex scenes in this game??? holy fuck i skipped through the game and there were no sex scenes, are you guys unironically playing these games without sex scenes and enjoying them?

Oh, you poor thing, you missed out by skipping...

Spoiler: You missed the Cinematics

after cutting the game to the bones im not sure about this.
im not surprised if the next update cut out the few tits we get to see.

Summers Gone has well north of 5,000 renders with the CH 5 B release.

If Ocean removed a few of them - how does that 'cut the game to the bones'?

(For those who are inclined to use math - 5 renders would be 0.01% of a 5,000 render count- which is FAR from cutting to the bone.)

As to tits - there are still Many great pairs on display for those who actually play the AVN without skipping content.

Now - if you are only here for MILF tits - then yes - you have been deprived and should find another AVN that uses some of the same MILF assets and shows off their ...

I think the variety of breasts we've enjoyed, from Nami and Vanessa to Bella and Zara, let alone Victoria and Mila, has been great - and what we've seen fits the story and each of the women (and for Nia fans - I did not intentionally leave her out - I am just illustrating the point - beautiful breasts are Very much on display in SG).

If none of the topless women shown so far appeal to you, you are Very likely on the wrong thread and spending time on the wrong AVN.

GL finding what you are looking for.

Cheers!!

are you the bouncer here? dont like my shoes or something?

This is mainly a shout out to any new players who first played the game starting with Ch 5 Beta...

When you played the first scene with Victoria early in the game, was it immediately obvious to you that she was hit by a car?

I am asking because I cannot judge the scene because I've played previous iterations of the scene, so I knew exactly what was going to happen.

She doesn't even get 10 lines before hit with said car and then the next time you see her it's in the hospital.
Not much to think about in that short time.

I think they meant to say "cut the boners out of the game".

Yeah, don't listen to PaxHadrian17, man, he doesn't know shit about the game!
If you unpack all the *.rpa files in the game, and then count the number of jpg images in the "images" folder, the numbers will be like this:

Ch1	659
Ch2	1592
Ch3	1834
Ch3x5	1393
Ch4	2288
Ch4x5	1518
Ch5	2220
TOTAL	10104

Not all images are used in the game, some of them are outdated, let's say there are approximately 104 unused images. So, we have 10K images in the game, not 5K. He missed half of the content. How can we trust this Jon Snow who knows nothing!

And you're right, the story is cut to the bone! Ruined! R-U-I-N-E-D!
Where did the Jeff's pipi go? Where is it? It was the culmination of the gym shower scene, special guest bonnie star, and now it's not there!
Why don't we see the MC's hanging wiener in the fitting room? The wiener was the thing that enchanted and hypnotized Bella and made her fall in love with MC. Free the wiener!
Now to the jacuzzi. Why did the girls look at the MC's crotch, what did they see there? No one knows now, the whole meaning of the scene is gone.
Nami's ass grinding wormy was the only thing worth a fap. And he took it away. It's like taking a beggar's last penny! I'm choking on sobs as I write this.
Vic's perfect peach, so fresh, so juicy, the only reason I put up with this whole boring 4x5 chapter with their endless chatter about some stupid boring things. He took that from me too! It's enough, I can’t hold on anymore, I’m going to cry into my pillow all night long.

Oh, ye of little faith! The glass is still half full 'cause we still get to see Jeff and the MC's titties in the shower/lockeroom.

Sorry, you forgot about cinematic's renders. And `Ray` gives slightly different numbers of renders in his SG Table

How much? Maybe a river? No, wait, probably an Ocean!

No, I was only talking about static renders, I didn’t even take cinematics into account. According to Ray, there are 9,215 static renders without Chapter 5, but I think his table is a bit out of date and I'm not sure it takes into account recent reworks. So, with ch5 it will be > 10K static renders

 

[Amnezziia]

So what are the theories about the latest update?

Why is Noji lying to the MC about Amber and probably other things? About Amber, maybe it's just something simple like: the MC has done therapy sessions with her before but he just suppressed those sessions from his memory because they were too painful?

Who is this woman who giving wing-shaped earrings to some of the girls? No idea lol, but I imagine she "appears" when a girl is sad, Nami confirms it, Sasha maybe when she got that scar?

I have a feeling Bella's sister(?) had something to do with Summer's disappearance, as another victim. Which could give another reason why Noji and Amber are pretending not to know each other?

Anyway, I'm just throwing out a few ideas, there's a lot of uncertainty to give real answers, but that's what I love about these kinds of games, it gives you the option to think about a lot of leads.

 

[AlexFXR]

I don't have a negative impression of Ocean. The few interactions I had with him were positive. I guess he might be a little thin skinned when it gets to criticism of his "babies" and that is not a good thing in general. But he is under no obligation to talk to anyone or even show up here so it's nice that he ever did.

This is where I disagree with you about being thin-skinned. He did not hesitate to ruin the game for the sake of music in order to earn more money, as he himself wrote about. Moreover, this music will not be in the second season, and it will disappear from the 1st season when the license expires. I doubt that a thin-skinned person would do that.

The only problem is that it seems too obvious.

Yep - just speculation, but anyway exactly these questions are bothering me too for longer

Yeah I thought about her too, but like you said, it seems too obvious.

I was simply responding to the post you made.

Your initial post did not include:

'im here for the story' - which you have not commented on in either post - what you like, dislike etc.

'the thing with the gun was important imo, removing that scene was not good.' - which is a valid comment, IMO. We do not have the CH 5 Full yet, with all prior chapter connectivity completed, so we have no way to know how that change will ripple through the rest of Season 1.

Re: the Miss Marla gun 'action' - I suspect a # of people will like the old version better than the new version - we each have our preferences.

If you had led with these thoughts - I think you would have gotten some interesting responses - like a discussion.

So, if you want a discussion, consider leading with these kinds of points the same way you would if you were meeting people face to face.

There are many knowledgeable people who participate on this thread and can offer insights and more for those who are interested.

GL and Cheers!!

 

[Amnezziia]

Perhaps the real question is why?

Both questions are probably important. Why give them to these girls in particular and why give them at all?

Sasha is also the girl that intrigues me the most. The scar, her bodyguard aunt, the fact that she also has panic attacks like MC. I don't really have the feeling that she is linked to the MC's past, but I really hope so. The earring is the only “clue” that it connects her at least to Nami.

indeed you did.
you didnt like what i wrote and pointed me to the door.
