He needs to split the content equally between all the girls or half the playerbase will equally go crazy. It’s time for the other LIs to shine, not only Bella.

If he wants to distribute the content evenly, he should start by reducing Nami's screen time. But he can't do that. Because some girls are definitely more important to the story. It would be too fanciful to expect Miss Marla to have the same amount of content as Nami or Bella. Besides, Ocean has to think about his pockets, and like it or not, Bella is currently the number one LI making Ocean money.

Well, yes but no, i mean, the strategy Ocean is following makes sense, but what you are saying makes sense too. I think this is a complex topic. Anyway Ocean has made a decision and we only can wait to the tomorrow release and each people buy it where they want :)

The rework is done and the wait comes to an end.

I am sorry but no.

You compare now a ONE TIME only buy versus monthly support and income. I would be very curious how many support he will lose on patreon. Lets also not forget that he needed to "ADJUST" or censor the game for steam as well.

Don’t care about Marla but there are plenty of well liked LIs beside Bella who deserve equal screentime. Ocean might like Bella the best and season 1 was about her and Nami but they should get the same treatment as the others from now on.
Rest assured if Sasha doesn’t get the content she deserves I will desert the game myself.

The last rev had major content with both Bella and Nia, with some additional content with Nami, Sasha and Zara (and, for those on the Mila path, a little time in the evening and, I believe, she could sleep with the MC at Nick's house).

If you were on the Nami path, you could begin 'race with impossible odds.'

I thought this was a good mix and I found myself enjoying my time with both Bella and Zara, in particular.

If someone chose to avoid Bella at all costs, then they lost out on the Zara information she shared in CH 5 B.

If someone avoided Nia, then they lost out on the revelation that Summer was a major part of her life when she was younger.

Ocean is telling a story of interconnected relationships and I feel that avoiding some of them means that I miss out on information I would want to know as part of understanding Summers Gone.

Sunday includes:

The sparring match with Ayua (with a likely visit/observation by Sasha) + study time with Bella, based on conversations in the CH 5 B.

We know the morning starts at Nick's house, so I see some additional training time with Zara - either morning before sparring or evening.

I think Bella will continue to be a significant part of these early seasons, but I also see more time with: Zara, Mila, Nami, Sasha, Nadia, Sonya, Amber and others.

I think the proverbial one-night stand possibilities (female faculty/Coach Hill + other students) won't open up until sometime after the cabin visit with Amber.

I expect that there will be days when Bella will play a smaller role like she did in CH 4.5, for example.

There are enough LI's who I enjoy that I will Never be bored or angry if some I like do not get as much content for a chapter or two.

I think the story being weaved by Ocean will bring plenty of opportunities for those of us who enjoy a variety of the LIs in Summers Gone.

For me, I am glad that Bella is one of them.

Cheers!! :coffee:

Sasha is already Ocean's favourite LI. I don't understand the whims of Sasha lovers. Nobody said you guys have to run after a scar. Sasha will of course get the content she deserves, but Ocean can't suddenly put LIs, the main focus of the story, on the back burner. Let Ocean go on doing what he knows how.

That's the reason i stay away from their other game because i hate reworks. Couldn't imagine supporting a game for years and have them go "oppsie daisy time to rework all the earlier content so no new content for over a year".

Which happened to this once....

For the record, as you obviously missed it, this has had far more reworking than WIAB has.

To be fair that's why i also support very few developers, the only 2 i have supported this year have been royalcandy and digi b but those 2 keep fairly consistent updates.

The update that should have been released in January finally comes out in May, and I wonder, does this mean that the development of chapter 6 will be advanced enough so that we won't have to wait another 6 months? or am I just dreaming?

Now that he has finished updating the old chapters, it should come faster and smoother. We'll see.
