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

[Rumplepuss]

Probably because everyone here is pirating it and not supporting the game.

I can't speak for others but became a bona fide supporter of Oceanlab hours after beginning Summer's Gone.

(And I live on a budget currently.)

Surely some of you guys reading these words could do likewise and stump up some pennies to help Oceanlab produce top quality entertainments for all of us to enjoy? To create something as incredible as Summer's Gone is expensive financially as well as personally, most especially considering the thousands of hours of brutal and dogged work involved. The huge investment of energy, effort, time and love already ploughed into Oceanlab projects 100% deserves to be rewarded as much as admired so why not put your big boy pants on, commit to pay an affordable monthly stipend to Oceanlab, earn some good karma for yourself in the process, and support their games officially?

If any developer deserves your support Ocean is definitely your man.

What about it, guys?

(You know you want to.)

Thanks.

Did you use old save files? If yes, start a new game.
Dont use any kind of mods, it will very likely mess up the game.

Damn. I am still sitting here choked up. I just played through this for the first time and I have not had so much emotion since I played My New Family. It is so hard to get through some of the scenes. Definitely a very great first three chapters and I really am looking forward to more. I have said this before, while the lewd scenes are nice, a VN with a GREAT story is always so much better to me. So thank you for this wonderful story.

 

[Shyguy1369]

Ngl I'm probably one of the few retards that plays games like this for the writing and characters not to masturbate.



It's retarded ik but I find myself clicking through sex scenes because I want to read more lmao

You are not alone. As much as the lewd scenes are nice, I prefer the great stories being told and the characters being developed.

This is from Where It All Began

Wow really good start... but i must say, these animations took its time to develop... one year since release and there are three chapters... maybe im wrong about it, but i think sometimes... less is more. Most of the animations are not necessary i my opinion, if it would safe time to get more content done in shorter time i would prefer that.

But its regiums/oceans choice, you like what youre doing, than do it like you want. I love this game so far, wish it will get fast updates

dont know if its me... but i cant reach your patreon site (504 gateway error)... others go fine. Is your patreon account down?

Its been mentioned before, but its not that Oceanlab was slow. He's been reworking two games, plus computer issues slowing down progress and what not.

We're looking at smaller updates every 3ish months now.

No worries. Newbies gonna newbie, right?

 

[Keerthi Thorpe]

what do you think is up with Sasha's wound? (not that I'm complaining. it's pretty hot actully. cant wait to get to know her)

I have a feeling that the scar was caused by Bella somehow.
There is no clue about it in the text though.

 

[Cooling Prob]

You know how long until the next update? I'm guessing they're about four or five months apart?

Look, I can't or don't know how to give you an exact date because I don't know, but I think it would be good not to wait for an update until at least April or May.

 

[WORTIGER]

can someone tell me the title of this song that you hear when opening this save?

That's not too bad

Honest question, really. Why do devs work on multiple games if the releases only come out every 8 to 12 months? I understand if you are Mr. Dots with a whole team and $10K to $20K a month in cash to play with, but for a small dev?

There are several devs here that are working on popular games that come out on a 8-12 month schedule (I am looking at you Radiant, and of course Summer's Gone), where the devs are working on multiple games at the same time.

Looking at it strictly financially, it seems to me that to concentrate on one game, and release it on a regular schedule would get a lot more patrons and monthly financial support than to have 2 (or more for some devs) games with extremely slow, relatively short updates.

Regular updates and showing up on the "Latest Updates" page gets you more support. You can have the greatest game here, but if updates only come out once per year, the Patron support is always going to be weak.

Perhaps the dev just gets bored with his game, and wants to try something different?

Maybe I am looking at it wrong from a business sense, and it is better, financially, to have lots of games in development with extremely slow updates?

To avoid burn out, I imagine. Working on two different things at once lets you maintain your sanity by varying it up. Even professional novel writers will do short stories and multiple novels at the same time to change things up, right? Same thing.

Also, the sad truth is, there are devs who'll just milk patreon by doing multiple games that take incredibly long dev times. Prioritizing 'business' over creative output.

That said. From I understand, this is neither of those. This is a case of Oceanlab's buddy wanting to make a game, so Oceanlab gave him one of his outlines or something. Then the friend quit, so Oceanlab found himself making two games. Something like that.
