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

[matschbirne]

What can I say?

As all certified megalomaniac supervillain, I love the sound of my own voice. Even if only written.

is certainly more pleasant than Vidi's aaaaaaaaaah's

 

[sorco2003]

but, what's stopping him from adding those short stories to the main game?

The idea was born many years ago and it was simply to show his personal evolution in Blender, and as a bonus to certain tiers, being out of continuity stories, it doesn't make much sense to add them to the main game. Maybe someday as DLC.

So play WiaB, simple solution.

This is the way.

I know guys, I will one of these days. I might hate Katie or love her. We’ll see.

Everyone loves Katie...she best girl in SG too

This is also the way.

There is only one path

Oh... Maviarab beat me to it.

 

[Bella Von Halen]

old katie no but the new katie yes

[Maviarab]

old katie no but the new katie yes

You're just jealous Bella, Katie was the best girl before you even came along with your rbf

(Very sexy and beautiful rbf....but rbf all the same hehehe)

*runs away cackling*

 

[Dessolos]

lol you guys make me afraid to replay WiaB as the only thing I recall is I liked Miru when I played it last year before the update anyone else I was in different towards. Might be better not knowing if I like or dislike Katie just incase I end up on the wrong side of the waifu wars

 

[Bella Von Halen]

i really dislike Miru

 

[Dessolos]

i really dislike Miru

honestly the only reason I recall liking her was she felt like Nami 2.0 to me that and well I have a thing for pierced nipples lol. But yeah anyone that is similar to Nami is already gonna be good in my books cause I love how Nami is quirky and makes me laugh

 

[N1ghtcrawler]

Some people here are so vulnerable that any little thing will make them to dislike any character. You're so sensitive yet heartless sometimes that it's kinda funny. A little harsh. I don't want to offend anyone, but it is what it is.

Seriously, how can you not like Miru? She adopted two children whom she raised alone and you can clearly see that she treats her children well...

Huh?

 

[RNasc4444]

Goddamn new Nadia put on 10 years and 10 pounds in such a short amount of time. Either that or Wollust is crawling with shapeshifting time travelers.

The themed main menu is cool though!

The writer is quirky and makes you laugh.

The writer "is" every character in the game. So, think about that.

Hello,

We will continue as usual while we all wait for Steam to finish its review.
Epic Games has approved SG, and I'm also working with GoG to get the page up and running.
As soon as Steam is done reviewing, there will be one announcement log of the S1 release date.
But from now on, all Dev Logs are about Season 2.

To bring back some structure, Bi-Weekly dev logs are back.
You can check out the previous S2 Logs by clicking the "Season 2" tag.
I will repeat some info about Season 2 and a few new things here.
Season 2 ports over your save from your last Season 1 playthrough. (I'm still looking for a way to port different playthroughs simultaneously from S1 to S2.)

Graphical changes from Season 1 to Season 2.
Season 2 will be in 4k. (I already render everything in 4k. It doesn't add work, and you don't need a 4k display to see the difference.)
My friend Messe, UI designer for SG, has also created the new UI, etc., for Season 2.

It has a very clean and fantastic look. The theme of the main menu can also be changed.
This one up there is the "Glacial" theme.
I've been talking about Blender Short Stories for a while now but just didn't have the time in the past. However, with Season 2, the short stories will become a reality.
Messe was so nice in creating the UI for them, too.
These are just examples of how it would look. (The short stories have their own exe.)

In my opinion, it's just absolutely beautiful.
I will showcase more of his work at different points. But his work elevates the game's UI tremendously.
I mentioned that I'd be signing some new music soon. Sadly one Artist jumped ship with the usual: "Upon further review of your product I am going to decline on having my music in the game."
His loss.

But I still scored some very nice ambient music.
Season 2 Previews (4k attached.)
Some Nadia.

Season 2 is going to be great, and no more reworks to slow me down.
Hopefully, you'll hear from me soon about the Steam release date.

I'm going to be honest, I wasn't expecting this good news today.

I theorise Ocean "ages up" most characters in SG to be on the save side for Steam. But what I personally dislike about Ocean´s unending drive to improve the artwork is his total love of oversized torpedo tits.
IMHO opinion when it comes to bodyform e.g. old WIAB ch.6 and new WIAB ch.1 Leia was practically perfect, then since ch.2 we got "Stripper Leia" and "Airship Helen".
New Ayua has a great face and he kept her body halfway normal, so I hoped he finally got over the verschlimmbessern the bodies of the female characters with unfitting or even grotesque breast sizes. Now I see new Nadia who had a detectable breast size creep.

OK, I'll take the bait.

Your reply has NOTHING to do with what I said in my post. All you are doing is deflecting/moving the goal posts.

1. Reviews are like assholes... (you know the rest of that saying). I've seen objectively average games on F95 get rave reviews simply because the game ticked the right fetish boxes. They are subjective, so moving on.

2. This thread has 1,683 pages. Only the first 38 pages (2%) relate solely to Regium's Chapter 1.

3. Development time / "Slow burning" is irrelevant to my post because I presented evidence in the form of dialogues and renders from the original SG Ch 1 (Regium's) that people could view, compare to Ocean's reworked SG Ch 1, and reach their own conclusions about.

Anyway, let's look at the development time / "slow burn" question.

Regium released one - ONE - chapter of SG on 8 May 2019. That is all. Regium has no (as in ZERO, ZILCH) track record in development cycles to compare with Ocean because Regium made no subsequent chapters of SG.

Ocean took over the development of SG in 2019 and he released Chapter 2 on 11 January 2020 - eight months after Regium's first and only release.

Here is what Ocean wrote in the Chapter 2 changelog:



Let's look at some objective information about the two versions of Chapter 1 (ignoring render and dialogue quality):

Spoiler: Regium's SG Chapter 1

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Spoiler: Ocean's reworked SG Ch 1 (up to Ch 5 Beta)

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

As for reminiscing about Regium's Chapter 1 - it contained one - ONE - lewd scene; a minor one where Summer showed her breasts. That is all. No one has any idea what would've followed and when, had Regium continued development.

Unfortunately, I don’t know your saying, but I do know one of the “Golden Rules,” which says: If you like a product and want to know the whole truth about it, then read negative reviews, because positive reviews will only contain advertising. By the way, this shows the current situation very well. If we read only positive reviews, we will see how good everything is in the game. If we read the negative reviews, we see that many people are dissatisfied with the game and their number is constantly growing. I don't like this situation. However, Ocean doesn't care about this, but we all know perfectly well what will happen next, too many games have been abandoned because of this.

I wrote about how people are unhappy with Slow Burn, but if it doesn't make sense to you, then why did you respond to it? It does not make sense.

As far as I know, Regium made almost 2 chapters, but what does this have to do with popularity? None of this matters. Ocean continued developing SG when Regium left, and it had no less positive reviews. Ocean began to lose its popularity after reducing the dynamics of the game's development. With each new chapter the plot became less and less. This has already been said many times. Perhaps when Ocean starts making season 2 and the plot begins to develop, his popularity will grow again.

The bastard almost already ruined Mila for me...

 

[Dessolos]

Bro is a breast man. I can respect that. However... OG Mila was per-fucking-fect already.
