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

[Bmagada]

These are the tags from the OP:

3DCG, Male protagonist, Animated, Big tits, Big ass, Graphic violence, Incest, Mobile game, Romance, School setting, Virgin

If you are looking for sex, this is not the right AVN as Season 1 was focused on world-building and the MC has a very valid reason to not engage in sex yet.

Resolving his issues with sex/physical intimacy is a key part of the story and a driver for season 1.

NO one knows when Ocean will give us the first sex scene in Season 2, but you have encountered at least one who is happy to make predictions as though he has the dev's script for Season 2 in hand - he does not...

The quip: Is he trying to sell the game to the Amish, maybe? is a dead giveaway for how even-handed an answer you will receive from him.

Let's take one of the comments he made:

"Hell, the dev even removed many scenes with the girls nude and ALL the scenes with the guy nude."

The way this is stated, it is misinformation - if one is kind, or outright lies - if one is not.

There is a VAST difference between removing SCENES as described above and replacing IMAGES.

The dev removed Images of full-frontal male nudity, replacing them with other images to maintain the story, and if someone wants to see men's asses - I did not do a count... that was not my focus ...

As for the women, there is no frontal - below the waist - nudity.

There are Plenty of topless shots, they fit within the story, and Yes - they Were part of my focus...

Where images were removed (as part of putting this AVN on Steam - which is the version you can download from F95 at this time), they were replaced with other images to maintain story continuity.

As for whether or not Summers Gone Season 1 is an AVN you want to take time to download and try, I recommend:

Reading a few reviews that give specifics - both 'good' reviews - 4/5 star and 'bad' reviews 1/2 star.

You want to find those reviews where the person tells you a detailed 'Why they like/dislike' SG Season 1 and if they actually played all of it or are not.

Don't rely on any one poster, neither the person who first responded to you nor me.

Summers Gone Season 1 is a Long story as AVNs go, weighing in at 10,000+ renders and accompanied by the equivalent dialogue.

It is not an AVN to repeatedly hit the skip button on - if you do, you Will miss out on important elements of the story, and later parts of the story will make less/no sense.

It has mystery, good/great music (depending on your preference - it's great in my book), stunning renders, some exceptional animations/cinematics for a one-man shop, and an engaging story that rewards you for paying attention (there is a lot happening in the background and I personally enjoy the 'easter eggs' I find).

If the description I provided immediately above interests you, check out the reviews and make the decision that is right for you.

If you stay and give Summers Gone a chance, you might just be pleasantly surprised.

Cheers!!

Brooooooo. Bro.......I'm not trying to be mean, but this isnt twitter. You can post paragraphs. Not every thought has to be spaced out. Also this reads more like a review and there's an entire section for that.

The uncensored version of patreon has just come out, now just wait for them to release here

Sorry, does the Patreon version have a more story, or is it the same as the Steam version but without censorship?

 

[yossa999]

Within the manga/anime there is a final goal which is the one piece... what is it? We still don't know and many of us say that the one piece is the friends we made along the way.

Haha Like I said, I'm clueless about anime, so I took this as a real question

 

[Bmagada]

Everyone's misgivings aside, as long as his patreon version and steam versions stay different and not this super edited mess that the steam version is than I'm game. I never needed outright sex every 5 seconds, but the spice here and there made the story a bit more interesting.

There definitely shouldn't be more story in the Patreon version. At least I don't remember that the dev said a word about it.
And now the versions on Patreon and Steam should be no different, today an update was released on Steam that brought back some nude scenes.

The patreon and steam releases are now the same. Steam recieved an update today that restores two Nami scenes. As far as I know that's the only thing that would have been different in the patreon version.

Edit: yossa999 types faster ....again

Since Ocean just patched the Steam version, are there even any differences between it and the Patreon version?

 

[Jacowboy]

Having said that, it's comparing against a history - a steam player doesn't necessarily have any history with the game, so they're playing without knowing what alternate scenes were there in Ch1, Ch3.5, Ch4 Ch5 Beta etc. So in that sense, the game is mainly ruined for you because you know what you're missing. I personally found it flowed better than at any point it has since the remake started, and some scenes focused me more on what the characters left unsaid than before.

I mean, sure, I wasn't talking from a new player's perspective, and you're right, they won't know what they're missing (at least until they delve deeper) and at worst they'll feel that there's no pay-off to certain scenes. I also agree that some of the changes do make the game flow a bit better.

That said, I'm not sure how new players are gonna feel about the game... I reckon most are gonna be expecting the usual AVN content, i.e. a lot of lewd stuff, so they're not gonna be satisfied. And then the other group that might be interested in the story? Maaan, with that begining and how bad the translations are, I'm not sure they'll be satisfied either, so it's possible a lot of people will just bail & even refund.

I'll say it again, he went with a half-measure solution and that's a mistake, but more importantly, I feel the game needed some more work before launching it on Steam, particularly the dialogues... but it's too late, I guess... we'll see how it does, at least that much should be interesting.

Guess the answer is post above

yes, two scenes of Nami were corrected

 

[wizardcock]

Finally almost all these releases are over and we can move on. Hopefully in the next dev-log we'll know the number of renders of season 2 that have been made.

Sadly no both versions will be the same it's already been confirmed. Shame this project went downhill with the censorship and rewrites. I hate most of the Nami changes, not all, but most. Been watching the rework for awhile now and I got over one, two of the changes long ago but it's hard to justify all the changes now.

 

[DuckDairyDip]

Ocean just patched those two scenes in the Steam version.

Now just wait for them to send it here, I've been waiting so long for this game

Still waiting for a full day's reacts to return...

Taken as a standalone, without the history, I'm enjoying it for what it is. The main question of why nerf the game for the music, considering the massive cuts, well, it was a sliver at a time, he should've just ripped the bandaid, and cut the losses with the music. It would've taken juat as long to find new music, but he'd not have the cloud hanging over the rating. Hindsight as a back seat driver is great. I'd imagine the music cost Ocean way too much time mentally and emotionally; he couldn't justify writing off the expense as a loss.

Why I say that, is heading towards S2 now, how many people will play S1 to catch up to S2 when it's 18+? I'd say the people who expect lewds just want to jump in to S2 and ignore S1, but that won't make as much sense for them. People like me, well, we don't mind S1 at all, so there's no problem, but to grow his market, Ocean has to consider how to do a decent synopsis for S1 that allows player without a history of the game to catch up. We're a while away from that, so that's Ocean's problem he should be considering now.

I'm really looking forward to the unknown hero with the patch

Same, I also wait for music, incest and recover lewd content mods.
Hopefully everything is compatible with each other.
