Would be better to just get a straight answer from Ocean himself.
We have it in the course of all these changes in the last 2 years bud.

All I can say is, don't focus on what was lost, focus on what shall be explored and gained
I want to be optimistic too... but what the hell have original fans gained?

Will he touch up his old renders in the Steam/Patreon versions? you know, remove the old versions of models and putting in the new renders/models. Fixing this/that Steam community items which, I am sure he'll enjoy doing the art for (Cards/Backgrounds/Emotes/Badges?)
Oh, it's coming. Most of the Steam chapters don't even have achievements yet. Only 3 script segments have them, the majority don't.

Arent you completly out of the loop this time?

Are you aware that the version here isnt even the actual steam version? It got a patch with brought (some) nudes back. Steam and Patreon should be the same at this point.
No, I'm not out of the loop. This is the Steam version... the Steam achievement unlock codes are in it bud. The build version in the code is exactly: "SummersGone_Season1_Steam". I got the same version from a bud who bought it on Steam and verified it as well:
Python:
define build.name = "SummersGone_Season1_Steam"
To your other point I've maintained that the Patreon version will mirror the Steam version, my post you replied to is stating that to the poster who was thinking the Patreon would be "uncensored".

So, WTF are you talking about? What am I missing bud?

ok, then how bad is the censorship? im talking about the lewd scenes that were present in previous versions that were cut for whatever reason.

It's so bad that even naming a car (Dodge Viper) was removed... I'm serious. Every character's dialogue that had the word "fuck" was removed. Hell, the comedic relief of the MC having the nipple pump on (you know the scene) was removed. Apparently a male's nipples are too risque for any amount of comedy to be presented.

Sure this was after the steam-patch got applied? If yes sorry, didnt sounded like it at first. Im pretty sure the name of the build was the same before the patch got applied?

And the funny thing is that the steam version originally indeed had less nudes than the patreon version at first until ocean changed it back. Why he did that is explained/discussed on like the last 50 pages in this thread nonstop.

I appreciate you're on a bit of a rant at the moment...but you know why that was removed for Steam right?

Unless you're offering to pay his legal expenses if Dodge decides to sue him....same with the a lot of the censoring, he didn't want to lose the rights to the music he paid for.

Surely, even you can understand that? That's not me defending Ocean, legitamising what he has done. Just stating the laws and contracts involved that required some changes. (In the case of Dodge, even Steam could actually get flack from Dodge's legal representatives it if garnered enough attention, such is the crazy world we live in now). Why is it every damn piece of media these days (commercial) has the disclaimer, any similarities etc etc etc? To cover their asses.

Of course, people have the right to be annoyed about it....but to keep denying they don't understand/know why some of these changes were made?

Really?

Bud, this whole issue isn't about the number of nudes (adding back a half dozen images is irrelevant)... that's not the point at all. That's not the beef here. I think you are missing the forest for the trees in this case tbh.

lmao i have so much disdain for this game and ocean now. its like AAA dev/company promising a game with many cool features but when the game comes out half of the features that were promised are not there.

To be fair, read my statement in context to the whole post bud, give me a fair shake. The car is one of hundreds of contextual changes over time. None of the others are a branding issue. And do we seriously think Chrysler is the dev's motivation for all of this? (that's obvious sarcasm, just to point it out)

Also, I apologize if I read like I'm ranting. I'm doing my best to provide evidence to the debate. That's not intended as rant.

Ok Bud, i take it as youre not even sure if you even played the current version before your rant.

Im not too happy about some changes myself while some were pretty good. It just feels like you missed the last 60 pages of this thread were all of this was already talked about nonstop.

But i will let you rant in peace now

Maviarab has just been fanboying hard for ocean. Don't bother arguing with someone like that.

I actually cannot fucking wait until its confirmed that the patreon version is the same as the steam version.

See, I didn't get this far and definitely didn't pay attention to any of the dialogue back from 2+ years ago to recent updates + the Steam release version so, I will never know what dialogue has been changed (unless people mention it) and all the scenes that are still gone.

I guess I can't say much and shouldn't say anything at all. I wanted to believe we were seeing the game the way Ocean wanted us to see it, how he sees it. I don't know why he removed this/that, especially removing the words "fuck" from characters....

This just seems to be a big mess all around... no matter where you land, it's shit.

lmfao what he is probably the least "fanboy" of Ocean I have seen on this thread or any thread for that matter he is just very real and to the point nothing more and nothing less as far as I can tell.

Bud, I mod the fucking VN... you don't think I've not only played it but I know the code inside-out? Come on now... let's all at least remain in some form of reality.
Im aware and your mods are great. I just saw you ranting about all the missing nudes and wanted to make sure you played the current version. If youre sure that you did, all good (y)

And i didnt intended to offend you or something, at first i genuinely just wanted to make sure youre aware of it.

We're all good man... I'm a redneck and thick skinned. I'm not offended in the least. To me this is civil debate amongst VN fans, nothing more. But, of course, I try to make my points with some evidence as to why I make statements... so I'm not ranting, I'm debating my stance (which is shared with many as you already know).

That's it. Again, all good bud. I'll even go grab tonight's first Crown and drink to wishing all the best to you and yours.
