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

[AlexFXR]

It's rendered in 4k and THEN downscaled to 1080 which gives the 1080 file more detail.... the file it self is not 4k. It's not hard to understand this, other dev's do this same process on there AVNs

Everything is written there correctly, but the problem is that Ocean doesn’t do it that way.

If you noticed, Ocean draws the characters very well; they turn out stunningly beautiful. But he doesn’t care about the background on which these characters are located, because this background will be blurred and its quality will deteriorate even more. And it turns out that a well-drawn character looks even better against a blurred background. For all this work, compression from 4k to full HD is not required, because everything is blurry except the characters.

But it is required to create photorealistic renders. There, not only the characters are well drawn like Ocean’s, but also the background. The result is a great picture without blur. Unfortunately Ocean doesn't make such renderings.

you are a perfect example of a fool playing smart

the second image is rendered in 3840x2160 resolution. due to the file size it is resized during post work to 1920x1080

and no resizing the image from 4k to 1920x1080 is not the same as rendering in such a resolution. if you don't understand it now you never will

"You're just a genius", you've made yourself look like an idiot once again. Can you tell me why Ocean would render a blurry picture in 4k and then compress it? It’s much easier to immediately render in full HD, and spend 4 times less time on it.

And finally the most fun...
How did you determine that the second image was taken in 4k and then compressed?

He always speaks about himself using the plural pronoun 'we', but in reality, he only refers to himself.

Maybe he is royality.

Ok... What the hell is going on!?!?

I see several pages of a lot of random discussions and in fighting when I am not here.

Did I miss the fun and chaos amd trolling? Had there been any relevant news? I left minion number 9 in charge of supervising but there was a person making reflections with a mirror and he gets distracted by shining objects.

 

[Tairnel]

What a naive person, he believes in everything he is told. Although maybe I'm wrong and you can show us these wonderful pictures with improved quality? Because I haven't seen any.

But you believe Ocean as long as he say something you can latch on to and whinge about in the forums? The dissonance is unreal.

As for the other stuff, you are wrong because Ocean has been doing treats and previews for a while now and they're exclusively done in 4k.

is a preview he posted for Chapter 4. In guess what resolution?

In case you couldn't figure out what that means, he's been rendering the game in 4k the entire time, like he said.

Or you could choose to believe that he has been planning this conspiracy for years and is only rendering the chapter previews in 4k, and the rest of the game in 1080p, just so that he could lie to everyone about it in the future

Are you seriously comparing a video shot on camera and a render made using a program? Man, this is very stupid. First, figure out the topic of the conversation, and then get involved. I laughed for several minutes and couldn't stop.

Are you aware that chroma subsampling applies for all video and not just camera footage? That includes animations too. Also, downsampling as a whole works for both video and images, which is why I used the term multimedia. Did you actually play the game or did you just forget that it has animations too?

Says the guy:

- who can't, or wan't to see a difference between 4K, and an AI generated 1024*768 picture.

- who can't, or wan't to see a difference in the amount of memory and specification between RTX 20X0 and RTX 6000 Ada GPU, and he is adamant that the performance difference doesn't matter.

Oh boy! If I had said or written as much BS like you have in the past months, I would have taken a vow of silence a long time ago.

I imagined Maviarab saying this after some blocked users in the thread pissed him off so much that he starts blocking everyone who quotes them.

I admit I wrote that post after following Maviarab's lead and blocking the AI render spamming account - only my second-ever block.

I don't mind a certain amount of banter mixed in with more serious discussion in this thread. It doesn't take long to spot the snarly and abusive posts.

I don't use notifications for every thread update, so my notifications inbox doesn't get spammed and overwhelmed in any way (this being one reason to block).

So, of my two blocks:

1. a user who baits other users into replying. Thus, I often end up seeing their content anyway in replies (and I sometimes end up responding to them myself)
2. the fake nude AI render spammer. However, someone invariably responds and reposts the image, so I end up seeing it anyway.

I wonder why I bothered...

so any info when update?

No. Nothing beyond the Steam build is still awaiting Steam approval as at a couple of days ago.

 

[c.mork]

Damn looking at this doesnt seem there be much room for Bella content in the next update

Bold of you to assume Ocean can't force her into it, like last chapter.

I wouldn't expect it till May now.

This picture breaks my heart, I wish I could at least start getting closer to Sonya in chapter 6. And why Ayua? She's not even planned as LI or for quick sex.

damn really Ayua not a LI that's sucks cause I have no interest in Sonya I thought Sonya was just a side character and Ayua a main. Just goes to show much I been paying attention to things lol.

Of course, it is wrong to compare video shot on camera and video made by software. It's just as wrong as comparing a sex doll to a real woman. Let's leave the jokes aside.... If you watched the video, you would notice that my words do not contradict it. Why did you mention Color Subsampling, do you want to discuss 4:2:0 or 4:2:2?

[Dessolos]

lmfao are you guys still arguing about 4k vs 1k. I'm on the side of thinking he does everything in 4k but still just agree to disagree already

You possess the ability to craft drama out of the most mundane circumstances. What is your end goal here? Let the dev do his job as he sees fit.
