The main mistake here is you're thinking about "story" in traditional form of plot growth. This game is more character/MC focused instead so the story will seem like it goes nowhere to you, but in reality, the story is the MC which (unfortunately to you) includes meeting a bunch of characters as his social circle expands.

The reason why I'm ok with this is because these characters are introduced logically (ex: meeting basketball people because he's trying for the basketball team, meeting mom's boyfriend family, etc) while still involving the established characters. Not all of them at once, but for example the book club introduced a bunch of new MILF characters but also allowed character relationship growth with Sasha. So it's not like these characters are really "nowhere to be seen" as you claimed. And because there are so many established characters, only Bella and Nami would appear regularly (and most likely Mila too once they've lived together) while the others will have to take turns. It's just the nature of the game when there are so many characters to begin with.
logically? did you play the initial release where an emo MC witness a girl get hit by a car and then contemplates about life and death in the middle of the street and then gets a gun pulled on him by the driver? oh they all go to the same school.

I am up to my 3rd route. The base game seems like 30-40 percent different. classes have more people in it. Certain scenes can be taken more serious example Nami and Nika talks in her bedroom. Original she pulls down her top while having a serious conversation and he has his hand on her tit. This version they are talking and you can see this is a serious conversation from how she looks at him seems more dramatic. Some of the characters seem different my baby Mila gives off a more aggressive attitude reminds me of the Mila before the first remake. kinda disappointed with the scenes that were in the trailer but not in the game. For example when Victoria is in the hospital the trailer shows her in a hospital bed and Maja laying on the foot of the bed. To me that makes more sense then a few hours later she is in a wheelchair basically ok minus not being able to walk. The inconsistencies of the faces were also interesting one minute you saw the update then the next screen you saw the old face. They did keep the creepy barber face bella though :ROFLMAO:
There are other things but whatever I enjoyed it. Would I have paid out of pocket for it. NO. Since I get paid for playing games on my game account I used it for this. I look forward to seeing the other routes.

Well, there is some change in the background story! In the earlier versions of SG Ayua said Nika had to either marry her or one of her cousins to learn some special martial arts moves.
In Wiab Miru, Ayua´s mom once said that she wants 4 kids. So this is obviously now canon background that Ayua has siblings. But we can theorise that from her cousins some are actually halfsisters. Ayua´s new clothes and general style is clearly inspired by Leia, her aunt and her Dad´s twin sister. So if Leia is a major factor in her life, Willi, Leia and Miru must have found a modus vivendi. Which also heavily implies Willi and Leia did what they already wanted years before Wiab plays.

So the "initial release" that has been changed and no longer relevant? Also, when I said characters being introduced logically, I was responding to the comment about the additional newly introduced characters and not the original/established characters.

Please read and understand first before replying next time so we won't have to waste time. Thanks.

Don't worry you didn't miss anything. Tbh, with the shit that's going down, you should've just forgotten about it and continued on with life. xD
Meh. It's whatever. I just wanted to share the realization I had that I haven't played Summer's Gone in a damn long time lol. Don't even really have as much free time or the will to play these as I once used to. I just like dicking around on the threads.

I don't really know what's going on but from my perspective, most of the popular VNs all kinda jumped the shark when they started taking a year or longer to update. I just don't feel as invested in them as I used to. With all of these VNs that have been in development for years now, it just feels like "same shit, different pot". Writing keeps getting shittier, the censor/ban hammer is coming down, devs take so long I just end up forgetting or not caring because I'm not about to wait a year just to be either bored or disappointed with the story to then wait another year for the next part.

Again, I don't know what's going on but my guess is that the dev will be fine and no one will be better or worse off. If I'm wrong and whatever is happening really does make it all crash and burn then whatever, I guess. Either way, I still have a few favorites and maybe even still donate sometimes if I trust the dev. For the rest, I'll just play whatever's updated if I get around to them. But at the rate my backlog of updated VNs keeps growing, chances are some of these will be "Completed" by the time I make it through the whole thing.

My overall supposition is that we're in this weird transition period where the internet is becoming dull (again) and meanwhile AVN devs are trying to ... well I don't know what the fuck they're doing exactly but I hate it. All of it. Some players will move on and new ones will replace them and this medium of entertainment will forever feel different to the first groups of people who played them but it's not like the devs will care and it's not like new people will care either. Which I understand, if I were a dev I'd rather cater to the ones actually paying me and the platform I use to sell my product. For the new people, it's not like they'll know how it used to be.

Only question now is, what's next? AI Porn here we come! We all just make our own VNs!

I never was the biggest Nami fan but the changes to her with the chapter 2 and 3 rework are great imo.

She's more confrontational and provocative towards Bella and (even) more protective towards Nika. It makes her look more confident and the bella/nami rivaliry a bit more alive.

I really like that Ocean changed that Nami doesnt snitch on Nika to Nojiko when you go on the heist with Bella. It always annoyed me a bit and is way better like that imo, it never fit the tone of Nami and Nika always have each others backs, no matter what.

Its a very little and simple change but really elevated my opinion of nami.

Oh yeah did anybody notice the scene where Nadia is talking to Nika for the first time, When Sonya sits down Nadia introduces herself and says are you new Nika says she is in our class. The thing is she was partnered with Sonya by miss Marla in the beginning.

Lmao the censoring bullshit went so far that Ocean fucking censored male nipples... He censored male nipples for fucks sake! This is just sad and pathetic...
Maybe he's gay? I remember a mayor of some coastal Italian town 10 or 20 years ago banning men going topless, under threat of fine, lmao.

Dev is planning on retiring with these 2 works for sure, renders are great, but with the amount of patrons and money hes netting per month he can probably make 5 grade A studio games.
