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

[Krytax123]

Unless, over the chapters, more LIs are... gone.

I heard rumours next chapter is called Bella's Gone. Apparently the theme of the avn will be to always lose the LI we interacted most with, one per chapter.

Holy shit the render count
And those render... You can say anything about ocean, but goddamn those are stunning renders.

I wonder what number of dialogs would correspond to that figure. Because on one hand 5k is a lot, but if it's going to be scattered across multiple paths and subpaths, and for every line, a new render, then 5k isn't that much.

I imagine each path would have about the same content as Ch5, so all the different paths have a full chapter's worth of content. I'm sure some things will also be just optional like visiting Nia was optional. It makes sense for the branching, but season 1 was 9GB, season two ch1 might actually be bigger, seeing it's 4K res and it's going to be roughly half to two thirds of the entire season 1 render count.

Ocean has to think about how he's going to get these chapters to people. If Ch1 of season 2 is 1/10th of the season story wise, it's going to be a gargantuan download when Season 2 is ready.

Downloads are going to be enormous, that's for sure.

In season one we had only few really active paths, but when all paths will be active and all of that paths are in one update, update size will be huge... Plus what we get from 1080p -> 2160 upgrade. If Ocean only makes updates to few paths, some people will hate that, if he goes for large update and more characters, updates will be slower... Other people will hate him... Actually... It will be not much different as it's now...

But he should forget about any kind of rework, if he goes again with that, next season will not be complete before 2032...

Nuh huh! Nope. I love Vic but you can have her. I'm skipping any future scenes in which she isn't fully clothed. Fuck that. The one topless render of her on the couch after the sleepover will haunt my sleep for years. That shit is nightmare fuel. Silent Hill nurses will give me a boner before Vic


Which Katie though?

Katie is Katie regardless....but obviously for a SG side story, would have to be adult Katie. Which is why i said what I did

We all know she the best girl even if she not a LI, some just don't want to accept the truth

Summer's Gone - Season 2 - Chapter 1 - Dev Log #9
Hello,



The log is a few hours late. I apologize!

Apparently, when I say, "Sure, I'll come by the Biergarten, but I gotta go earlier to do some work." it doesn't always work out.



Productivity is still going strong.



What worries me, though, is that when I look at the number of renders I've finished compared to the number of scenes that are done...

I fear the update might end up with 5000-8000 still renders. Yesterday, I checked, and this update has at least one scene for every relevant girl. (Yes, including Maja.)

I'd say 5000 renders is a safe bet. That would be double Chapter 5's render count.



I think it will be a great opening to the new season.



There's not much else to say; at least, I can't say much without spoiling a few new elements I will add to the game. I think they will greatly enhance the game's cinematic and high-quality feel.

After the update, I will do a poll to see if you guys liked them.



Previews: (4K attached for download.)
A squishy Zara

A firm Zara

Signature look of superiority

I'm kinda bummed by the fact that I can't really show anything of the Cheeto and Mila intro scenes... Especially Mila's scene has two big reasons why I can't/don't want to show them.



These are the most innocent renders I could find.

I'll show some Cheeto intro renders in the next Dev Log. I haven't finished the Cheeto scene yet, so my selection is limited.



Mila is also a prime candidate for my Blender experiments. After this update, I'll port that Bibi over to create some test animations & renders with her.

At the moment, I'm still using Sasha for most of my tests, but I can't show her nude yet, so I've got to switch my test models. (I'm currently prepping Miru.)



One word describes S2-CH1: Progress


That's what it feels like.



I'll see you in two weeks!

Would you mind please share high-res 4k raw previews files? Thank you

It will be a big chapter. I say that because the older previews shows Nika and Bella at college, and right now, the S1 story ended saturday night. It seems we will get more content for saturday nigth, sunday all day, and probably part of monday or full monday. Saturday nigth, Nika will bathe with Mila or Nami i think, sunday will have morning content with Zara and Vanessa probably, sunday afternoon there will be farm with friends and dojo with Ayua, sunday nigth will be homework with Bella, monday morning there is the first Victoria physiotherapy and classes at afternoon for sure. The thing is monday nigth there is a party at the bar, but I think this will be S2EP2, but with 5k-8k renders, is very possible we get full monday also.

I fell that ending the chapter with the bar opening is a good way of opening the season, it makes sense to ending it right before they go to the bar as well, but with a renders count above 5k might as well go all in.

Ocean already said that wednesday with Amber will occupy a big part of a chapter. So, trying to predict the future, I think chp1 saturday night to monday afternoon, chp2 monday nigth to wednesday morning, and chp3 wednesday trip with Amber till ???.

I mean if we are talking about 5000 renders at the least, it'll be first quarter of 2025 most likely. That is without the animations and cinematics of course. Every 1000 renders adds like 2-3 months of production after that so I don't know how to feel about this. Splitting the chapter into two seems not so bad suddenly

At least five other people worked on the technical side of the game, during the production of the first season. It seems he has already written the text and if the renderings are ready too, he can finish it by the end of the year.
Here the question is a little different. There are two games in production and he didn’t put the prequel on pause.

So, after ch.5 beta, I'm finally playing Season 1, at last.

... and I'm wondering: WHY SO MANY UNNECESSARY CHANGES?

For instance, why removing Nika and Zara's first meeting? she just walks past him, now. No conversation about the trophies. WHY DID HE CHANGE IT?

WHY?

EVERY character looks less interesting and less "edgy". Everybody is duller.

Do yourself a favor and use the uncut mod. The final release is absolutely unplayable for me and I imagine it will be for others who enjoyed the more OG versions. You will get a far better experience and the transferable save for the next season.
