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

[LHDLLB]

You know, it's a bit of a love-hate thing when you've got such a diverse and well-developed cast of characters that you can't help but get invested in each one. There are so many choices and possibilities to explore at once... Good thing we've got plenty of save slots...

Speaking of relationships, I find it fascinating to think about the different combinations of characters that could unfold here. Bella with Mila or Bella with Nami are my personal favorites, and I'm really hoping those options become available. There are so many intriguing dynamics to dive into. I can only imagine how ... challenging it must be to write all those different paths and outcomes.

In my main save I am trying a Bella + Nami route, really curious to see how Ocean will handle it, Nami and Bella seems the most unlikely of the combinations. Nami and Nia, Nami and Milla, Nadia and Zara, Victoria and Maja are pairings that I would thought before I ever considered Bella and Nami and this is the possible one.

The story will have some grand twist to it be believable, Bella will have to come to trust Nami as much as she does Auya and I wonder what event can lead to it. About Milla and Bella, I think it might be a fun run if the LIs compete but will ultimely end in a bad note. You either give falses hopes to one of them or string things along too far and ends alone.

Nami and Mila seems actually the unlikeliest one, because Mila's said she's not into girls. Vic and Maja is 100% certain NOT to happen, because patreon - Maja's path was dropped to lewdable only rather than an LI (maybe Ocean's rethought it) because Maja will choose Vic's happiness over her own, and it's impossible to have a shared path.

Nami has already shown that she will prioritise Nika's happiness over her own, and will accept Bella even if she's snarky about it. Her acknowledgement of Bella being able to bring Nika out of his shell/introspection shows that she can see the bigger picture. Bella has nothing specific against Nami. We already know Nami is bicurious, so the questions are (I guess) whether:
- Nami will actually accept being the third wheel,
- Bella is into polyamory AND girls.

Everything else is just conditions - ie Nami getting over her need for revenge (she has a short enough attention span anyway), Bella either being open to sharing or developing a liking for Nami beyond mere tolerance. I feel their throuple will be inequal, and only exist because neither Nami or Bella are willing to give Nika up, but I imagine they will be uneasy, while Vic is totally open to sharing by the appearance of things. Throuples with Vic seem a done deal.

Anyway, gotta see how fast Nika can reach maturity and make a mess once again first

Vic's the classic cute girl, but ends up being not only pretty sex positive, like with her discussion with Mila about Nia's cam girl work. And clearly has no issue to say the least with kissing women, even while enamoured by Nika. Even telling Mila she kissed her, because it looked like that's what she wanted. The only one I don't see as you said, is the Maja mix. But as Nika said...
I rule out nothing with her...as long as she's included, lol.

I agree with you on almost every point, I am just not convinced that a throuple path will have the LIs interacting with other. Not that I am against it I just I am not sure that it will be a requeriment.
Is not that I think that Nami and Bella are impossible, just that the first time playing they did not felt like a natural throuple path. My first run I thought that a Nami + Nia run are a given, not Bella and Nami and I am curious to see this progression, if it ever happen, from "enemys" to sisters-wife.
Given the previews, Ocean will compensate the cut of the jacuzzi scene in S1 with a bathroom one in the next update, so I think Nika will mature pretty fast in the nexts updates

Vic is pretty freaky in my opinion, she just don't has the experience, and I like that she is so sex positive is a deviation of the, " let's corrupt the naive virgin girl". She is still naive and virgin but I don't know, not pure,I don't know if I am making sense. I just like Vic

Nah, I get what you mean. She's not the classic definition of pure, I'd say. But certainly genuinely sweet. I even remember how happy she was looking at all the dildo's from Maja's stash, and she was positively glowing, lol. Or her talking to Nika about that adult novel she was reading. That 4thsome as Nami put's it lol. I faintly recall some other examples, but from no longer canon older versions. I kind of wish they kept some more of that freaky Vic from it, lol.

Well, I do recall Ocean saying that they were throuples rather than just cheating or having two separate girls like a mini harem. Ocean's against harems, probably thinks they're lazy writing because they ignore the NTR aspect - non of the LI's really notice or care that you're banging everyone else etc. So by calling them throuples, they're inherent polyamory - so the girls will be aware of your sexual history with each other, they will know if you're spending more time with the other, and they will interact. Whether or not all throuples are equal triangles is unknown, some might have unequal power dynamics (such as any with Vanessa and Bella I think) while ones with say Vic, Nia and Nami might be far less tense and more open minded.

Regarding Nika, he still needs to deal with his mental block regarding intimacy. Intimacy for him can trigger panic attacks (like with the four way kiss in retrospect), so it's not just the mental block of being aroused, he has to deal with why he's having panic attacks. Hyperventilating while getting it on is probably less sexy for the LI's. So there's still a long way to go. I honestly don't want it rushed just to get to sexy times: Ocean could have added sexy times in season 1 if he's going to rush Nika's healing just to get to sex scenes quicker. The healing aspect is important to the story despite people thinking he's impotent and it's wasting their time. I'll hope Ocean initially shows Nika trying to force himself to be normal and getting freaked out and then the LI comforting him, stuff like that. A lot more meaningful in my opinion.

Yeah, she's pretty open minded when it comes to happiness. The way she decided Mila wanted to be kissed and misread the situation is pretty cute. I'm sure she'll initiate a heap of different situations. Her acceptance of Nia's job is more open minded than half of the people in this thread, and we're all perverts here right?

Oh, I know. I see that I have not expressed myself as clearly as i thought. I mean that I'm not sure that every throuple the girls will be bi, I can imagine Bella and Nami not having sex between themselfs and sharing Nika, negating even threesome. I don't know, it don't seems as a too far fecht ideia to me.

About Nika I completely agree, it was just a poor attempt at humor. I don't think that Ocean will rush's the story, but I also don't think that he was thrilled to censor himself in S1, and things are peaking up speed in the last two updates-4.5/5.0- so I don't think that spicer scenes will ruin the progression

Well, if the girls aren't bi in a throuple, it's not really a throuple but a tiny exclusive harem, a form of sharing, polygamy rather than polyamory. The girls have to be romantically committed to each other as well as Nika for it to be a proper throuple. I guess the question is, will any of these trios become committed enough to find stability, or will they fail to jealousy? I think it's hard to genuinely write in a threeway relationship that honestly explores those challenges for that many trios.

I also imagine some paths might look like they will work, but fail spectacularly - Ocean might put traps for people who play the field with jealous LI's. There might be some relationships that are open instead of a throuple, maybe Bella and Nami turn a bilnd eye to each other, but the jealousy builds until Nika's forced to choose to be exclusive.

It's certainly very interesting to wonder how Ocean will implement this all.

I feel like Zara is getting bolder with the MC (S2 preview images).





The chest-to-chest contact does not appear to have been planned. The pose when the MC is leaving makes me think Zara is trying to decide how she feels about the MC as the previous contact does not seem to have bothered her overlong...

I wonder if we will have two sets of dialogue for this scene - one where the MC has an LI (whether she is Bella or Mila) and a second where the MC does not have an LI and is available as more than just an exercise buddy.

For now, the fact that the MC does not get a hardon without major stimulation, works in his favor as he seems more aloof to the women who are giving PPV level viewing of their beautiful bodies.

Bella knows why (as does Nami) but, so far, the vast majority of the other LIs/lewdable women are not aware of this.

Until the cabin trip and the psychological healing that restores the MC's mojo, we are left with an MC who appears more aloof and physically distanced from most of the potential LI/lewdable women.

It will have to do until Amber can give the MC the help he needs...

Cheers!!

...she even has the required "syrup" in her hands

Vanessa is going to figure out MC has a limp noodle.

At least this Jill looks like an actual female, unlike the one in... doesn't matter.

Eh, my MC is an ass man. Eye droplets will not faze this MC.

Now, if she was bending over with her ass in his face, maybe there would have been another outcome. The MC will never know.

I'm not sure Zara is getting bolder, it's more like the ice isn't just shattering, it's melting completely.

Maybe that one sentence (I believed in you) gave the final push. But I also don't rule out that it's a combination of previous events, such as MC pushing Zara to the edge of the pool, then pulling her back, MC carrying Zara after pushing her to the ground before training, or MC's harsh words on the tennis court.

The Developer Notes on the front page are a bit vague so I'll just ask here. Are there any sex scenes in this game yet? If not, will there ever be or is this one of those games which should really have the 'no sexual content'-tag?

It could be any girl in this picture... It's a disappointed girl's face and body in the second picture...
If this continues we will lose potential LIs... We need an immediate and urgent solution to fix the "faulty part"... Amber is a beautiful and experienced woman, but does Ocean want what the players want?

Holy shit...this could help explain why, even physically speaking, I don't find Zara attractive at all. I mean she is objectively not ugly whatsoever but I don't find her pretty either.

At least she is more symmetric than the other character, who seems to have a whole ass galaxy separating both eyes

Specifically, Season 1 has no sex scenes or genital renders whatsoever. The lewdest thing you can do is grope a LI while kissing. Season 2 will have lewd scenes involving genitals, but as to whether it's there from chapter 1 of season 2 or not is currently unknown. Current preview renders imply chapter 1 will have some actual lewd scenes. Actual sex scenes might not happen in season 2.

If you want to see how Ocean handles sex scenes, his other game WiaB which is set 20 years earlier almost starts with one.
