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

[BobTheDuck]

Seeing as the update for WIAB came out around "Jan 18, 2024" I'll take a guess and say, the update will come out around April, May or maaaaybe, June. It also depends on when and how much he ends up working on it for.

Whoever thought the Ch5 full release update was going to come out this month is just a silly head. He does work on two games y'know.

I mean, wasn't SG supposed to be released on Steam this month? eh, I probably got that wrong. I think he said he would try to get it out by this month. The point is, it'll be out when it's out. There's a big world out there, go have adventures while you wait.

The steam release is CH5 full. The last SG dev log mentioned he had about 200 lines of script to deal with (all renders done), an intro cinematic and the gallery. I'd guess the intro cinematic is what's holding him up - trying to justify the entire development process by making a good first impression (as far a steam is concerned) is probably triggering way too much perfectionism. But it's also completely understandable.

The latest dev log for WiaB suggests he's probably halfway through the renders for WiaB 3.5, and has done a few renders ahead in Ch4 plot lines (I guess he was feeling inspired about a certain scene and it made sense to jump ahead while using the same assets). We've seen a fair number of scenes from SG season 2. I'd say the recent lease of video cards has actually made the difference he'd hoped, plus software developments decreasing render time will mean ...there's a very good chance we'll see the steam/season 1 ch5 full update in weeks. Or maybe we won't see it while it sits in steam's inbox.

The bigger problem is less Ocean and more Steam. It could have already been submitted to Steam but they do not do things the very next day of a submission. Could be weeks away once it's in Steams hands. Not a great deal Ocean can do about that once he submitted it.

That's assuming Ocean has already submitted it for approval. But knowing how Ocean chronically underestimates how much time is needed to do his planned work, it wouldn't surprise me one iota if the problem isn't on Steam's end. Seriously, if it's been submitted, I'm quite sure Ocean would have mentioned that. Until that happens, I wouldn't try to shift the culpability off Ocean yet.

He's working on further chapters in the meantime so let him take care of the full release with care, time and patience. Its important for him to make this release flawless, way more important than a few people like us being impatient for the few bits of new content.

It is pretty obvious Summer never existed. She is a figment of MC's imagination. Also Sasha implanted a delusion into the MC's head making him think Summer was real.

Well then they have a mass hallucination because Summer is remembered by Nami and Nya. And what does Sasha have to do with it? She never talked about Summer ))

 

[White cat6]

Be cool. The bruh saw Ocean's script and knows for sure that Summer is alive and going to the same college as Nika. But he won't tell us which girl she is, I think you understand the reasons.
So once MC meets and recognizes her, flaccid wormy will no longer be a problem, it will be rock hard day and night. A much bigger problem that awaits you due to a change in POV: What will you do when all your hair starts sticking up in defiance of gravity, and in the most inappropriate places of your body?!

When you don’t know what to say and start demonstrating your stupidity and rudeness.

Already been explained.

No clearly, Sasha deluded both Nami and Nia too.


It is a better theory than Sasha is Summer.

This is just some light hearted conversation for humour sake after the mods cleaned the thread.

...although Nika as the star of a Truman show style delusion would be funny for about 30 seconds, the rage at the cheap plot device would make us spontaneously combust.

When you don’t know what to say and start demonstrating your stupidity and rudeness.

Nah, when I don't know what to say I post a meme or two
Rudeness is part of my culture, you can't blame me for that!

So if I'm a little... um... skeptical of your vague hints that you have sacred knowledge of the plot that Ocean is trying so hard to hide from peasants like me, please don't be offended. I'm not trying to insult your personality, I just find it a little funny the way you present your ideas about the game's plot. However, don't let my stupidity hold you back and please go on with your show.

Yep, there's a bunch. I'm not going to spoil it for you, it's worth finding out for yourself. But wait until CH5 Full - there are the final reworked Bella scenes of the heist and the basketball game.

Yeah. “Kind and friendly” Bella from the noble von Halen family, the daughter of Amber von Halen, leads an anti-social lifestyle: she conflicts even with those who have done nothing to her, swears like a sailor, breaks the law and uses drugs, and without a second thought sets up her mother. Did I miss anything? You can't even imagine what's wrong with her. She would have dealt with Nika instantly, but those with whom she is connected need him and she does everything to ensure that Nika does what is required of him, but then...

Yeah, we get it... Bella is a bitch and her mother is a high maintenance MILF... But, yeah, we love those two...

You haven't seen Vanessa and Zara's mother (Leia ).
As one of the most beautiful and cruelest women in SG universe.

Interesting...

How does Bella set up Amber, her Mom?

Cheers!!

Told Nika that she looked up through the private patients' records?

I don't need to be convinced, I am already smitten with her.

 

[PaxHadrian17]

I never took that as setting up Amber.

If anything, Nike could have used that knowledge to set up Bella knowing that she reads thru the private patient notes of Amber.

He actually comments on that re: potentially manipulating Bella.

The only Amber set up that Nika and Bella are actively working on, IMO, is the one to prevent Holgerson from taking advantage of Amber to bed her.

Cheers!!

 

[White cat6]

Cheers!!

Do you seriously believe that a raid on the Holgersons' house, illegal street racing or possession of drugs at home does not undermine Amber's reputation?

But Ocean hasn't even finished the Full version, let alone submit it to Steam
