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

[Orgitas]

I'll let you in on a little secret: the first season has no plot.

I think that is the worst kept secret on these forums.

returns to obscurity

I'll let you in on a little secret: the first season has no plot. Ocean said that the first season will introduce us to the characters and develop the story later. Nobody knows what this story is about, there are only assumptions and guesses. This could be a love story, or it could be a story of revenge for murdered parents.

I can only imagine what wonders you are experiencing while living in this world ...

i thought the modifications were to enable Ocean to sell in Germany, not necessarily on Steam, which has a hundred million customers outside of Germany.
accepting 2 simple facts will make accepting Oceans patterns much easier;
1 Ocean is a perfectionist.
2 He had a 'clear' vision of how he wanted certain things to look, and didn't have the hardware nor the software experience to make it the way he envisioned when he first made them.

luckily for us there are lots of other games to go thru between his updates, and some of them, like Eternum, Artemis, et al, are really good too.

The changes made before going on Steam were for more than just trying to ensure that Steam users in Germany could also enjoy SG.

They included: the removal of some nudity - to avoid getting a restrictive Steam rating that would reduce S1 audience size.

Removal of music that could have resulted in the potential for takedown notices from music companies due to license issues.

There are also changes made to avoid Patreon's ever-expanding TOS, which already got WIAB booted from Patreon.

I think Ocean did a great job for a one-person shop who hires a few other people to assist (like Messe with the GUI and the independent contractor that built the sports field we get to run in/use during evening BB training with the coaches).

Did he make some mistakes with Steam - sure.

Did he learn the hard way how to better obtain music licenses for SG - sure.

Having worked for a small company and been called on to do complex things that no one in the company had the institutional knowledge to do - there is often a tough learning curve to climb.

I expect that, when Ocean releases WIAB on Steam/other venues like EPIC, he will do a better job, having learned lessons from his first effort with Steam.

For now, I am looking forward to playthroughs of other AVNs that I have waiting in the wings.

Cheers!!

yeah i think it was a horrible way to conclude season one like that, all eye candy with no substance.

returns in 10 years.

I prefer the story about the killer cat.

Hmm, are you still here arguing with smart faces? I'll give you a hint, this story is about two assholes trying to become human. In principle, this is enough. You will find out the rest on the full moon, on the fifth day, when the wizard comes from the east and finally pays taxes.

So, just another continuity plot mistake due to the fact that the Dude keeps on rewriting what he's not supposed to rewrite:

View attachment 3781342

Previously, Amber tells Bella about the gala invitation after Nika leaves.

Now, in this final Season 1 release she tells her in front of Nika.

Therefore, this whole dialogue at the restaurant about the Holgersons' invitation doesn't make sense anymore (Ocean should have changed it as well).


This is what we got after 5 WHOLE YEARS of endless rewritings. And yet I still see people whiteknighting this dev.

Oh man.

It's a strange relationship, people have already waited so long and gone so far that they prefer to go down with the ship instead of admitting they were wrong. Ocean has talent that I can never deny, but the man also has talent to make bad decisions, I will wait to see what happens with the second season and if I see another bad decision by this man then I will not have more reason to stay in this thread and I will leave without complaining. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt with season 2, although personally speaking he doesn't deserve it.

I agree with half of that tbh. I think SG has a clear plot. Is it plain, vague and painfully pedestrian? Absolutely! But it is there.

The part I agree with, and have previously exposed at lenght, is that S1 of SG fails (imo) at setting up the world and characters of the game. It does well at setting up a story but fails at the two other crucial elements. It bothers me to no end that EVERYTHING in SG is vague and in a a constant state of flux.

Being old and having ADHD i tend to notice things after the fact. Does anybody notice that the female have a habit of touching the corner of there mouth. Noticed in the changing room with Vanessa when she is talking to Nika. Amber does it during the therapy session. I believe Bella does it too. Is that some type of sign thats where they want his nut.

He's talented but he can't seem to move a plot forward meaningfully or in a timely manner to save his life judging by this and WIAB. I don't think I really know much more about the characters and plot than I did 2-3 years ago.

He strikes me as someone that if he was writing a book he'd badly need an editor to condense the book from 2000 pages to 300-400 and a strict deadline on top. Writing a story without getting lost in minor details and interactions as well as not constantly reworking it is a skill. Ocean seems to struggle with that. I don't feel angry or annoyed with him but I can't see this ending for another 10+ years at this rate and that sucks because no way will my interest stay that long.

I really hope he seriously ups the pace in season 2. Come out guns blazing and advance the plot quicker. I doubt it but I can hope.

I'm just imagining that someone watched Fight Club up to the moment when Norton met Mrs Marla. And at that point the fellow viewer begins to rant that the plot is not moving at all, that the main character only roams around without any meaning, that he pronounces some senseless monologues or meets some weird characters. For example, Bob aka Meat Loaf, why is he even in the movie at all? Fincher should focus on the plot and stop showing some nonsense but he seems to struggle with that.

These were not my words regarding the plot, I was quoting Ocean. But I agree with you that the game has become boring.

Although I absolutely disagree that SG has a clear plot. Remember what Ocean said when Chapter 4 came out? Oh, I got bored and decided to do something new and made a board game.... Is this what a person with a ready-made script would do? No! After chapter 4, we see that in new chapters and reworks a bunch of scenes with dialogues have appeared that have no useful information or meaning. I watched a program that talked about how TV series are created, it’s very reminiscent of the creation of AVN. In a TV series, when the writer gets sick and is unable to write the script, the decision is usually made to make a "series on the fly." That is, they insert memories into the episode or pretend that the MC is communicating with his conscience, etc. Such dialogues that do not make sense are usually called “garbage”. The same thing happens with SG and Wiab, Ocean makes a lot of "garbage dialogue".

HAH

So, people who keep on making the same mistakes over and over are "perfectionists" now?

no.
but Ocean IS a perfectionist. reread his posts on this forum, and some of his discord/patreon posts.
he made Where it all began; got to chapter 6, got enough euros to upgrade, did so and was blown away by the difference in quality. the next issue was rendering speed. those allegedly are both addressed. then he got DCMA'd about the music. [odd how the word Dismayed fits too].

many other devs would have just used the same process and continued, but now at a faster rate. he didn't he revamped with his new capabilities.

personally i would have preferred [as i believe most would] if he had finished WIAB then made SG with his new equipment.
but its his story and his project...

still glad we have lots of other projects to enjoy in the meantime.
