Summer's Gone Dev Log - Season 1 All Changes
Hello,



So, the Dev Log is a day late, and there's a good reason for it. I just can't get into it at the moment. I will be able to do so in around two weeks.

I will finish all the postwork today and continue with the gallery next.

I will ship Chapter 2 to the proofreaders today, and testing will go hand in hand with the gallery work.

The testing process is a little more complicated this time, as I have to test for the ability to port saves.

It means I gotta test a ton of variables and see if they port correctly.



I did get sick of postwork a few times in the past two weeks and instead worked on Season 2.

Expect some nice previews after the release of the Full.



Today, I will show all the changes I made since the initial Chapter 5 Beta release.

One thing I can assure you is that this is the last rework SG will see until the entire game is finished. I don't care if earlier Chapters suddenly start looking like Old-School Runescape Characters; we'll only be moving forward.

And the momentum Steam, etc., gives us will be used for it.



There's A LOT of renders coming... Prepare. All images in full res are in the zip down below.

We'll start with Chapter 2. The actual target of the last part of the rework.

Chapter 2:

Old Heist



New heist







Old Cheeto route:

Nami vs Bella - Basketball Old



Nami vs Bella - Basketball New (The new version gets a little more physical.)



Old Nurse & Hill

Old casual college hallway

Marla talks to the MC about VIc's accident.



Old Bellchen & Amber



New Bellchen and Amber





Old Maja (This model was only used in this one scene. The one in CH3 was already different.



New



Old Vic



New Vic



New scenes in Chapter 2.

The heist with Bella doesn't end in the Holgerson's front yard; instead, there's a new scene in Bella's kitchen. (My fav.)



Most of Chapter 2 will feel new, but the next scene is a result of changes made to the class.

How did they end up in a bathroom?



Finally, a small new scene, which also sets up the Sai confrontation in Chapter 3.



Now to Chapter 3.

Old Mila gym





New Mila gym





Old Mila lounge



New Mila lounge



New Clothing store with Bella



Chapter 3.5 now.

I only changed scenes where the old Mila model was present until the changing room.

That was pretty much it.

There are cases where I just changed 1-5 renders. For example, there was a scene with the very old Robin model. (Chapter 3).

Also, a little bus scene was added to Chapter 2, etc.

The CH5 Full is pretty much the size of a new update.

I know some scenes aren't up to date in terms of quality. For example, Chapter 3 has a bar scene with Ayua, etc.

I would only do it if the Steam verification takes longer than expected. Then, I would do 25-30 extra renders for the bar scene in Chapter 3.

But the moment Steam gives me the green light, the game will be released on Steam and a few days later on Patreon.





It's time to finally move on from Season 1.

The next log will be a simple post where I'll tell you guys that the game has been shipped to Steam and is being verified for release.

Season 1 - Last Dev Log
Hello,



So... This is supposed to be the last Dev Log for Season 1.



As always, I've created more renders than first anticipated. My estimation for the rest of Chapter 2 & small parts of Chapter 3 was 900-1000 renders.

I'm sitting comfortably at 1170 renders, and I have one more scene to do.



I started to prepare the work for the gallery. Lots of stuff has to be changed and Chapter 5 has to be added. But that's all gonna go quite smoothly.



I've started work on a little Layla Treat.

Who?

Yeh, some Bibi that hasn't gotten any screen time since Chapter 3, but will play a bigger role in S2.

The Treat isn't finished, and still a work in progress. Still, we all haven't seen her in a while.





I think I'll publish the full Treat with the Chapter 5 Full release.



Tons of previews & comparisons today.

This is the last Preview Log, I will do for Season 1, so I have a few things to show.

Bella boys usually don't see this scene, but I added a little more depth to Hill's short conversation with the MC and exchanged Claire's old model with the new one.

Old





New





The old classroom. (Before I could even render the big one.)



The A6000 Ada's in action.



This is a new level, even compared to the previously released Chapter 2 Classroom renders, where I could only render 3-5 people at the same time.

Being able to fill up the college, the city, and other establishments that usually feature a lot of people is gonna be possible now.

I can move away from garbage billboards in the BG, and use interactive people instead. Awesome.

And thanks to the latest Daz update, these gigantic scenes load reasonably fast (15min to 20min).

I mentioned in a previous log that I also reworked the scene with Mila where you can ask her out.

For continuity's sake, I completely reworked her Gym scene too.

This also includes the shower scene and this legendary render:

Nami's and Bellchen's gym scenes will stay the way they are. (Except for a few Bella shower renders. Exchanging her pre-sculpt Ch2-3 model with the Chapter 4+ model. It's the first time you see her boobs, so it's important to be accurate to the Ch4+ model.)

There's one scene in Chapter 3 I had to change to keep the music & steam rating. I had to remove MC's PP in one render. (Again, this only affects Season 1. Season 2 won't be censored in any way.)

It disrupted the flow of the scene, but I couldn't locate the old Duf files. So I went out of my way and applied the German saying "Wenn schon, denn schon." which loosely translates to "Do it right or don't do it at all."

So I rebuilt the entire scene and also adjusted 95% of it. The scene didn't really need it, but it was important that she at least visibly "stared" at MC's package.

Old





New





There are like 20 renders left for the clothing scene with Bella.

After that one, it's only one small scene that is left. I'll start with postwork tomorrow & I still need to finish the Blender Intro cinematic.

Current estimations are around 1250 still images for the Full.



It's definitely worth playing through the full if you like Bella. Quite a few new scenes with her.



All images in full res are attached below in the zip. file.

Thoughts? Victoria is the best girl here (because we can't have adult Katie lol)...in the minority but I don't care.

One of my three I find very hard to separate. I'm still not sure about the new look. Anyway, I am sure it will grow on me. Vic will still be biggest sweetheart in the game, she has that title locked in place.

Guys, who are the characters are possible for having throuple or quad or mini harem path with Bella?
I can confirm that nami/Bella throuple path.
Click to expand...
As far as I know, Ocean has stated there's no harem paths, and there's only throuples that are really hard to make the choices to get. I doubt he'll change that as he seems to dislike harems a lot. If you try to sleep around unwisely, the chances are that rumours will spread and you'll be blacklisted by the LI's and cockblock yourself.
