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

[Don Sucio]

I was running into a wall with a scene in SG. I couldn't render it as it featured the big classroom & 11+ visible characters.

Sure, I could've used fewer characters but that's not the solution to the issue.

Especially in the college, I want to show crowded scenes with lots of students and professors running around.

I value immersion more than the actual image quality by now.

Prepare for some big, immersive scenes in the future.

Nice, very very nice, immersive scenes is all i want, i usually scream when i see a scene in a class in games and there are only like three people: the Mc, the npc who our Mc is talking to and the teacher is very shabby.

About the new Nami´s hairstyle i like it, is fresh and well... i don´t think anythink looks bad on Nami

They are all shapeshifters. That's gonna be the big reveal at the end of season 3. No other way you can explain the monumental lack of consistency of SG when it comes to body shape and dimensions. They literally change from render to render

I'll drop a spoiler here.

The fact that he changes bodies and skin textures by re-rendering old renders is understandable, but i thought that Nami had already been redone and, as for me, the second version is the best, the one shown in the new screenshots looks like a pumped-up man!

On a serious note, too many hairstyle changes (Mila's had three) and too many body changes (such as weight gain or muscular development) for so many characters within the space of only a couple of weeks (in-game time) kinda wrecks the continuity (as least for me).

Tbh the current Mila design is prolly my fav, her OG hairstyle made her look very childish and now she looks like she matured
But I can totally get that it might get annoying when characters change in the span of like 2-3 updates as if weeks or months passed even tho not that much time passed storywise

I don't mind the new styles themselves, I just question how characters changing their hairstyles every few days is justified story-wise. We'll see...

The MC and Mila both commented on Marla's new hairstyle, people commented on the MC's new hairstyle, but NO ONE has commented on Mila's two changes of hairstyle...

I'm sure they saw two big other things...
If that girl rob a bank naked, nobody would remember her face...

It's called pay per view

I suspect we'll see new renders of Mila for chapter 1 - her hair there is the only legacy asset I can think of that remains that is maybe important enough. It also sets the tone of how people see her. I suspect Ocean will have redone those and fixed his sculpt tool error by the time we see S1 full and give us a more consistent Mila - actually, as long as Ch1 Mila disappears, I'll be happy I'm fine with every other version. He's probably not gonna say if he does do it, just spring it on everyone, given the face palming he'd be receiving if he announced it. Pure speculation, but I think it'll happen just to get rid of that very obvious low res asset.

It would be a shame if too many renders from that first day at college are changed, all for the sake of one hairdo. Honestly, I'd be fine if Ocean just "hung a lantern on it" - i.e. have Mila comment later that she was just trying a different hairstyle during those first few days. But, as you say, her body is different too... so, it's more than just the hairstyle. If he does revisit it, I hope Ocean can render those scenes exactly the same, but with an updated Mila.

Bro, just the similarity of the models doesn't mean anything at all, otherwise Bella and Katie could be twins.

Don't forget that Bella loves cheese fries and Katie loves chicken burgers. They're kinda peas in a pod.

Is that the horrible truth behind Bellchen hating her dad?

Dad being a "mad scientist" cloning Kätchen, producing twin copies using Amber as a surrogate mother?

The plot thickens!

For me all the major character changes were big downgrades. Nami's earlier body looks like 100 times sexier compared to her hulk bulky version in the preview and Mila now looks just worse to me and close to entirely unappealing.

And so far im not convinced by the new Ayua look either, it seems to entirely lack her energetic and cheerful attitude but i guess this could change when seeing her in different circumstances, i liked the old design tho, less serious.

Im just lucky that i doesnt really care about the changed characters as LIs this much, i would be really annoyed/pissed if Ocean suddenly turns Bella, Sasha or Zara into a hulk or makes their tits unnessecary big.

I saw this comment in reddit -> "Less than 200 line means update possible in maybe 3-4 months."
is this true ?

Context is missing. Lines of code does it say? or what was he talking about?

I didn't understand what Ocean meant here, to be honest 200 lines of code seem easy, though.

I have more doubts, did Ocean say that?

Can you post the link to the reddit comment you said you read?
