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

[PaxHadrian17]

I think the relationship between Nika and Bella will crack in a short time. The first igniter of this may be Nika's lack of hardening, but I think the main reason will be jealousy. There is a growing closeness between Nika and Zara, and of course, depending on the options, Zara has already started to fall in love with Nika. We know how competitive she is, conflict with Bella seems inevitable. In addition, both Bella and Nika already have an ultimatum. Bella warned not to lose my trust. Nika, on the other hand, made it clear at the book meeting that if Bella creates a childish drama, we're done.

If I know Ocean, he's already got a relationship drama ready.

I think Ocean will give us future 'outs' for each of the LI paths that the MC can choose.

I don't think it is a forgone conclusion that Bella and the MC Must break up - only that he will have the choice to break up with her to pursue another LI - and/or he will have the choice to break her trust - lie to her - to be with another woman and there will be consequences.

For ex: In CH 5, my MC had the choice to tell Bella that I kissed Vic and be up front about it or say nothing.

I chose to tell her but choosing not to could easily lead to future drama in season 2, and rightfully so.

You don't have your first serious discussion about trust and honesty only to lie by omission shortly after the end of that convo.

Ocean already said that there would be relationship drama in any throuple (I believe that this was from Discord convo's) even if it occurs because both women want the MC to spend time with them and he cannot be in two places at once, so he must choose.

We will have to see if keeping a throuple going is a choice based balancing act that can fail if one woman is shown too much favor over the other woman in the throuple.

Cheers!!

I was imagining that banana with an aggressive face, saying, "wait in line, mate!"

Yeah, it's something I like about the progress of SG so far. LIs have their own boundaries and expectations and aren't simping Stepford Wives gagging to join an MC's harem.

 

[John972]

If I remember correctly, in a playthrough where I was only going after Bella and invited Mila out as friends, she forcefully kissed my MC if he chose to take a walk with her at Vic's. And if I remember correctly, this only happens if you chose Bella , friendzoned Mila but went out on a walk with her, might need somebody else to confirm this.

Good spot. Darn, there's so many subtle differences in events according to player choices made, that's hard to keep track of them all.

On that playthrough, did you kiss Vic (and Mila) before the walk? Did you get the option of confessing to Bella that Mila kissed you?

 

[John972]

I don't think anyone is arguing that. I think the point of contention is where she looks more normal/attractive.

Personally I think the old/original model of Mila was actually attractive. The new one looks like she could have a seat at this table:

...and that's why I said I was posting the images. So people who haven't played the earlier versions can judge the arguments either way for themselves (i.e. do they agree with you that SG should be renamed Schlitzie's Gone? I don't... )

When are we expecting Chapter 5 non Beta?

Okay, let's assume that Ch 5 beta isn't the end of Chapter 5, then you're right

Unfortunately there where barely chances to build up a relationship to her so far - I hope this changes in upcoming chapters.

 

[Bolero]

Did you reject Bella, Nami and Nia?

All 3 had content and rejecting one or more would definitely shorten the release's playing time.

Regardless of choices, though, we still get the book club meeting - which was great, IMO, as well as the infestation and the Zara/Mila time that followed.

What were you expecting that you did not get?

Cheers!!

Hi, no i actually went for all three of them, lol. I did not expect sex, i am playing this from the first update so i know what i can expect. What i meant is that it did not consist of many events and it was pretty short. Also it lacks any lewd scenes, if you go and look at the gallery you can see that this update had no scenes unlocked there. The book meeting was the main event and it was kind of long (probably too long), and after that the update pretty much ended.
I see someone said it is beta, i guess that is fine if he will add something more in the final ch.5 release, but i doubt he can make many renders in a short time, considering how long it took to make this update.
Nvm, i think i started liking Where it all begun more, seems the renders there are improvement over the ones in this game, even though Summers gone when it came out was the synonym for quality renders.
Also the main character here is slowly starting to get on my nerves, with his limp dick, lol.

Well, on steam or gog.com the game will be only be availible per season. That means, you are paying one time 15€/$ whatever and have access to the comeplete Season 1 (chapter 1-5) on steam - only a completed/finished season will be released on steam. If you have the desire to play Season 2 (chapter 6-10) on steam you have to wait till all chapters for the next season are finished.

On Patreon you get the game in parts chapter 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5 and so on.

Except its a 1 month subscription, not a lifetime one, so he only gets Season 1, with the difference being in the added benefits of being a patron (leaks, renders, etc.)

 

[Razrback16]

^ Ya my advice when it comes to Steam vs Patreon is this - if you're the type that gets concerned about dev time or is tight on money, etc. then just buy the game on Steam - it's obviously a better bang for your buck. Only back on Patreon if it's a game you're REALLY REALLY into and want to legitimately help finance because that's what you're doing when you join Patreon, just becoming a financier for a project.

The only game I back on Patreon is Summer's Gone, and it's not a high $ amount, but I want to contribute something because I like the game a lot and would like it to be completed. I will also buy it on Steam.

Beyond that, use F95 as a screening tool, and then the games that you want to support the dev on, buy them on Steam when they release there.

Interesting... I thought the book club meeting was a waste of an update. Just kind of indulgent and didn't move the story forward, other than the scene with Sasha and the MC at the end of the gathering, but that could have happened elsewhere.

This VN is a masterpiece. This is the type of game that draws me back to this website time and again.

What we have now up to Ch5 is just the tip of the iceberg - it would be premature to talk about a "waste of an update".
We can´t know how decisions of this book clup meeting may evolve in future chapters.........
