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

[LHDLLB]

For.me the reason that Robin is so endearing is that she is a rather normal girl where almost everyone else has some pointed trait. Nami is quirk, Sacha is mysterious, Bella is a bich, Zara is competetive Nia is a camgirl with lack of social queues, and not only her personalitie is normal her looks also are, in a town where sizes as Milla and Vic are not uncommon her features are diferencial. In short in a place where almost everyone is fucked up in the head and a super model Robin is refreshment of normality

A thousand thanks for your help. Internet/forum searching is sometimes not my thing when I'm tired.

I really can't understand Ocean making Marla an LI and not Robin, Maja and Ayua. No one likes this fucking teacher and even if she becomes the most hot girl in S2 I still think she won't have any simps.

This would make sense if he was making a dating sim game, but he's not. Each woman in the game has her own role in the entire story, and Marla was there literally from the first minute. She seems to have some kind of important role, so I think he won't drop her character just to cater a few simps.
And, frankly, have you seen the previews from the latest devlog? A hot MILF teacher won't hurt any lewd VN.
As for the simps, who cares about them. One fairly famous developer put an old stripper hag in their game and added more lewds for her than for much better side girls. Simps will suck it up anyway

Although I personally don't like Marla, you can bet your dick and balls that there are enough people who prefer her as a LI. You shouldn't really try to act as the voice of many when you have no signed mandate to do so. People have different and sometimes weird tastes that you won't be able to understand even if you tried. You have your own, so talk for yourself.

I'd personally prefer Robin or Maja or Ayua and I will definitely stay away from Marla, but I know that there are people who prefer her as a LI and I'm not the one to dismiss these people just for having different preferences of women.

Marla's arc has not yet begun to develop. I tried to remember any good scene with her, but nothing came to mind, she is always lost in the background against the other characters and nothing really is known about her, except that she put Vic into the wheelchair, goes to Amber for therapy and wants joint therapy session with the MC.

But wait until Ocean does his voodoo on Marla. Like he did it on Zara and suddenly, most of the shouting about another arrogant bitch, worse than Bella, quieted down, but a bunch of newly minted Zara simps appeared singing praises to her.

I don't doubt about Ocean capacity to turn hated characters to interesting ones, but he will need to make a lot of "magic" in this one. Btw, my previous text is not me doing LI/kink shame, its that I just know one person that has Marla as the main LI. Anyway, Its a shame Maja was downgraded as a LI.

Maybe that will work for some people but I doubt it will for most. Because most have clearly defined preferences and taste. I've said it before there is nothing on God's green Earth Ocean can possibly do, no magic or voodoo, will EVER make me go for the majority of the characters in this game.

That means no Marla, no Karen, no Mila, no Vic, no Zara, no Nia, no Nadia, no Amber, no Hill, no Sonya, no Harrison, no Cindy, no Kate, etc.. for me, EVER! They just aren't my thing no matter how appealing and endearing Ocean makes them in the future.

Shit...this post made me realize that there are actually 14 ** FEMALE** characters I would lewd. More than I thought... But I would only consider 6 of them as possible LI's in my playthroughs.

To be honest, I don't remember if Maya was ever intended to be LI, but here's what Deleted Member wrote a year ago when he finished the script.

There is no "Marla over Maja", in the same way as there is no "Bella over Maja."

Maja's role in the game just isn't the one of an LI. (She's lewdable, but doesn't get a happily ever after ending with the MC.)
The MC isn't a blank hull that is compatible with every character beyond a fling/FWB.

And the most important variable is Victoria.
Maja would ALWAYS choose Victoria over the MC.

And it doesn't matter if the player likes Victoria or not.
Victoria likes the MC, and Victoria's feelings and well-being are what's important to Maja.


Marla's role doesn't come from being stunning on the outside. She isn't a classy porn trope "Milf."
She's what you'd find under the category "Mature".

And more important, looking good doesn't make you an LI.
The story behind the person determines if you get to be one.

But this WILL actually work for the most people. Even the range of officially recognized LIs is much wider than in most very good story games. If each of them gets the same amount of screen time as Bella and Nami, then those who don't like any of the official LIs will be the black sheep.

If you like milfs - here's Amber and Marla, you like redheads - Nami and Nia, huge boobs - Mila, Vic and Nadia, aggressive girls - Bella and Zara, a little nerdy - Nadia and Sonya, evil bitches - Bella and Vanessa, quirky - Nami, Nia and Vic to some extent... You can go on and on, you have to be uniquely picky to not find a girl to your liking with such a rich choice.

Well, there will always be guys who are longing for Karen Rebecca Johnson, despite all the possible options.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and I forgot that I learned today, if you want a mystery, then Sasha.

it's OK, you can just tell us you're gay, we won't judge.

How simpler would life be huh? The amount of headaches I could have avoided if only I liked dick

Nah I just know what I like and don't like. Miss me with fat tits and asses. Miss me with large thighs and waists. That shit is a turn off for me. Give me a slim, athletic body any day of the week. Give me all the Nami's, Robin's, Maja's, Nojiko's and Nancy's. Y'all can keep the rest.

Unpopular opinion that may blow your mind. I love Bella. Bella is in my top 3. Bella is always gonna be endgame for me. Despite all of this, I prefer fully dressed Bella than nude Bella. Straight up. That body type does nothing for me. It is what it is

EDIT: This reminds me of a major gripe I have with AVN's. I fucking avoid that milf tag like the plague because every single dev just likes to give ludicrous body dimensions to every milf in their games. We need more Claire's and less Gloria's! (Modern Family reference)

Those ladies' must all have adamantium laced skeletons, lol. Summer's gone is comparatively tame on that aspect, regardless of personal taste at least.

Think positively! At least you haven't discarded Jeff.

To be fair, Jeff is awesome.

 

[Doomyk]

By the way, about Jeff. There is a chance that he knew or was somehow connected with Nika. Firstly, there is an interesting dialogue in the old version, when Jeff comes to Nika’s house. Nika asks Jeff how he knew where he lives. Jeff brushes off that it was Nami who told her, but the expression on his face and the scene itself clearly hint at something more. This dialogue is not present in the new version, but Jeff’s words( I would be surprised if you were ready) when Nika says that he is not ready again leave food for thought.

This post of yours is what I'd call: "a classic example of overthinking".

100% agree Nasc. I can count the number of 'milfs' in games that have a normal body on one hand. Like in WIAB, all gushing over Helen, sure, she a beautiful woman (facial structure) but her body...I swear some of these people have never actually dated a women with these proprtions (similar to the pregnancy crowd)...there really is very little sexy/attractive about the multitude of problems that arise daily with a body shape like that.

Does absolutely nothing for me, in real life or in a VN.

 

[Old Man Al]

Let's all be thankful there are no real MILFs in those AVNs, porn, etc. Who wants to see that?
