WIAB will feature 3 seasons with ~ 10 Chapters. (~ 30 Chapters in total. It can be a bit more or less, it depends on how good my equipment gets and how much stuff I can put into one update in a reasonable amount of time.)

SG will have around 3 seasons, too. I can't really tell yet bc it's not written that far.
SG takes place after WIAB. I won't say how much time has passed but it will be revealed over the course of SG.

There is no need for hostility. My comments were not a complaint or hating on the DEV. I didn't dislike either one of the stories. I just would like to see these to completion. Summer's Gone touched a place in my heart that rarely sees the light of day. WIAB has not done that yet but I think it is because the story is way more complex. As I have stated in other comments, The love for the MC that is held by Nami, makes me want to follow her path despite the lack of anything overtly sexual with her.

I see that the DEV has put Summer's Gone on steam now, so I expect that means he plans to continue. As to the choice of messages I reply to, that is just a symptom of my own brand of ADD...I just start reading comments until one moves me to make my own comment. I hope that this self therapy helps the DEV reach his goals. I know we all have our demons, and there definitely are worse ways to deal with them. Either way, as somewhat of a failure in the writing department, I respect the effort.

No real hostility, bro. Just annoyance of the daily stream of the same kind of comments like "We'll die before the game is finished", "I don't like the MC and he can't get his dick hard", "Sex when?", "Is this game abandoned?", "It was better with Regium", "I have to inform everyone that I'm playing this game no more. Do you all hear me? I said no more!" and others from their regular daily list of complaints. :HideThePain:

And reading these comments every day, it’s easy to not distinguish posts of those who is sincerely interested in the game and raises topics that concern them, and the usual background whining for the sake of whining.

Pax always tries to offer discussion to the new people who come with criticism of the game. Amen to that. :HideThePain:
I've been ignoring these posts since Ocean left this site. Because there is nothing in this criticism that has not already been chewed, digested and dumped out many times over the few years that I have been following this thread.

You say it would be nice of the dev to finish one game and then start another. But why don't you take the trouble to find out for yourself why he continues to work on two games, although it seems obvious to everyone that this will take longer to update for each of the games? Maybe there is some reason for this?

You don't want to support an unfinished project. Absolutely fair, although I don’t quite understand what support has to do with what you're asking for? You're talking about buying a finished product, not supporting the developer during the development process. Well, if we're lucky and nothing happens, then hopefully Steam will offer "Summer's Gone: Season 1" for sale within a month. Something complete that you can buy and get your money back if you are not satisfied with the product.

You say, "This is a porn story after all." I can’t even count how many arguments there were in this thread regarding this statement. You know, the author defines his game slightly differently: "This isn't a porn game! This is a story-focused game with adult elements." You can believe what you want, of course, but not taking the author's definition into account is a way to the false expectations and disappointment of the game that was never what you thought it should be. (To be fair, the developer has mentioned many times that only the first season will be non-adult, and adult content will appear in the subsequent seasons)

Not admitting that SG is a very ambitious idea, and will obviously take a very long time to complete, means lying to yourself. So, I can only quote you the Deleted Member:
Don't see the game as one movie but as 8-10 movies.

I guess he meant seasons there.

And yeah, Nami is awesome :love:

But I'll make you a deal - if you can tell me the name of a perfect game, I'll consider bothering to look for something in SG to constructively criticize

Take "DEPRAVED AWAKENING" for example. If you compare them, this game had the best image at the time of the game's release. It has an interesting plot, which SG does not yet have and it is not known whether it will exist at all. And there is also no large number of meaningless dialogues like in SG, which only drag out the chapters. And of course, a variable ending to the game depending on the player’s choice.

Interesting opinion. Can you give me an example of meaningless dialogue?

For example, let's take chapter 4, most of it is occupied by a board game. This is one big useless dialogue that could have been fit into several pictures or removed altogether.

Moving on, chapter 4.5 is one big pointless conversation. In it we learn about a new social network and the fact that Maya will work in the place where Nika studies. Everything else was known before and nothing new was added. Oh yes, I completely forgot, Maya uses toys for adults (maybe this information will seem important to someone).

Let's continue, in chapter 5 everything connected with Bella also makes no sense, there is nothing new there. I also didn’t learn anything new in my meeting with Nia. I would even say that from the beginning of the chapter until the police arrived there was nothing new there.

To summarize, it turns out that at least half of each chapter has meaningless dialogues. For example, BaD is also full of such dialogues, but due to the fact that his chapter is 3 times larger than that of SG, this is not so noticeable.

I dont get why you keep wasting your time posting here nonstop if you dislike the avn so much. Its probably just not your taste but why not just move on in this case?

The whole stuff you wrote is kinda dense imo and you just keep going. I for example think depraved awakening and cobd suck. Im still dont spamming these threads about the whys. Are you a attention whore or whats wrong with you?

Actually it all makes sense. Even the scene with Nia was quite important and you found out a lot of new information

The problem is obviously in you when you are not able to absorb new information and perceive the story. This usually happens when you hold your pipi with your left hand and click with your right until you see something that satisfies you. Such a person is usually not very interested in the story :HideThePain:

Maybe you should try playing another game. SG is obviously quite complicated for your brain capacity

Considering the abundance of unfinished story arcs in the first season, due to setup and worldbuilding, any plot-relevant dialogue will inevitably be seen as meaningless by those uninterested in the overarching story

If you don't know what words mean, they are meaningless I guess :sneaky: It's hard for someone to read when they spend their whole time holding control looking for lewds because it's the only plot they understand.
