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

[BobTheDuck]

We know that there is 3 intros, one for the Mila Path, one for the Cheeto and one if you are not in neither.I am really hoping that there is not much of those though, SG needs to pick up the pace a litlle and if we are doing two days in this update, I am expecting the plot to move, get some anwsers from Auya that raises new questions and stuff like that. I really like Ocean character work and is wonderful that he is aiming at given each girl a litlle time, I just would prefer if this update was more plot heavy

I would imagine scenes for different LI's might not be all huge, I'd imagine a full regular update sized main path, with excursions. 3000 renders for the main path is bigger than any update we've seen, would allow up to 350 renders per love interest (there's 14 or something?) for exclusive path material if Ocean reaches 8000 renders. That's probably more than any one character will get. I'd say we'll get a longer main story line with plenty of optional side events. But if they do ger 300 or so renders for their own paths each, that'll really help build the characters in new ways.

My math could be all over the place, but yeah...

Yeah ... The only thing lacking is details regarding the SG German Steam release.

I'll be honest, most of my desire to read a devlog has to do with taxes, bike lanes, blender details, some personal moments. Devlogs always have their share of whining, drama, funny moments, some life compromises, financial literacy lessons, and more.
I can get a rough idea of the status of the update from people's posts here, since I'm reading anyway.
Teasers for the update? 90% is Bella, I like her, but right now I'm aiming for Sonya or Amber, and there's rarely anything with them.

Sometimes I think devlogs are like a spinoff to SG.

I think he should look for girls named Veronica. You know, Nika ~ Veronica. So there's gonna be passion in the development

Wouldn't recommend. I almost got killed one time I tried to use these names interchangeably with a girl I met a few years ago and we weren't even fucking yet

Typical:
Ocean was looking for an excellent specialist for little-to-no money.
A girl from Russia was looking for a high salary for little-to-no work.
I wonder why it didn't work

My view of Ocean is different than yours...

Ocean tells us what is going on - the good And the bad, and then explains it (in a dev log every two weeks).

My takeaways from this excerpt of the dev log:

* The gf did not want to do the work to earn the money - no mention that Ocean was looking for an excellent specialist for little-to-no money.

If you have a screenshot showing what Ocean was offering her for pay - feel free to post it for the rest of us; I'd certainly like to know.

* As far as an excellent specialist, Ocean was told that she had a background in game design, and he bought her a course in Blender to get her going.

She simply lacked the drive to do the work to build the skills.

Per this same dev log - Ocean lost little due to her unwillingness to learn Blender and apply herself.

Is it disappointing - OC - but that is RL for you, people don't always own their commitments, and someone is typically left holding the bag.

Cheers!!

maybe he just scared her with something like:
*in a maniacal voice*
- you'll spend years learning blender and then years rework every pixel I don't like, wahahaha

That's completely false. Depression isn't the same for everyone. Everyone has their own way of coping with it and going through with it. Speaking from experience here, when i was in my darkest place i still hung out with my friends and i still spoke to my family like everything was normal. Because i was afraid if they found out something was broken inside me, they'd treat me with pity. There's nothing worse than seeing your friends pretend to understand how you feel and act completely different when you're not around them. Trust me dude, i lost 2 classmates and both of them were the most cheerful mfs on the outside..

That's not necessarily how someone suffering from depression is. Many suffering from depression seem completely normal and highly functional to the outside world.

As Cabin and Harry said, also, no, I am not confused.

You just seem to want to start some drama because you're bored, please, find someone else to bug if that's all you want to do.

I should have said this in my reply to you "He has multiple issues. Depression is one of them. I should know, I too have depression"

Sorry if you expect everyone with depression to act a certain way. People can have some of the same issues and act completely different.

Ask Maja whether the guy she saw for the first time in the hospital looked like a depressed person or not. In fact, Nika said during his first day of college in a conversation with either Nojiko or Nami that he felt an inner drive to overcome any upcoming obstacles. This is the beginning of the struggle of a man who has been immersed in depression and isolation for years to break out of it. Before all the examples of a depressed man you mentioned, this is what Nika life was like.
And yet, how you approach it is up to you - you don't have to meet Jeff at the gym, you don't have to promise Maja that you'll take care of Victoria. You don't have to go on a date with Mila or Victoria, you don't have to get closer to Bella, you don't have to start sharing your feelings with Nami. You could blow your chance with Sasha by not letting Robin off the hook. You can still roleplay as a person who still has no real intention of healing. Have you seen the Cinematic for Chapter 5 when you are not in Bella's path? Summer's things scattered around the room Nika sits, looks out the window and smokes a cigarette, the atmosphere of total isolation and depression continues

Since there was never any mention of previous counseling or any type of psychological evaluation we are led to conclude that the MC went on WebMD and self-diagnosed his depression

So this quarrel regarding if he's depressed or not seems to rely solely on opinion. I'm not a doctor so all I can offer is my own opinion. And that is that the MC is kinda all over the place. I'm guessing he has multiple issues like depression, anxiety and PTSD like you said. Because as far as I know his symptoms don't seem compatible with just one issue.

I'll write to everyone right away. The topic of Nika’s depression is quite old, there were a lot of disputes, but they ended until a working psychologist intervened in this dispute. This psychologist said that the character is not depressed. When you come to a psychologist, he asks the reasons for your coming, but in the game what is the reason? He was told that the reason for his depression was the disappearance of his beloved girlfriend Summer. In response, the doctor said that if MC had depression, it had long since passed. You can see for yourself how he paws Nami and Victoria’s breasts, reaches into Mila’s panties, etc. This doesn't sound like depression; if he still loved Summer, he wouldn't touch other girls. There were a lot of analysis of scenes and their meaning, I don’t remember everything. As a result, he said that if such a person had come to see him, he would have diagnosed him with PTSD. This is indicated by 4 points:
1. A strong traumatic situation occurred in a forest house.
2. Recurring dreams.
3. Memory loss.
4.Reaction to stimulus (eraser in Vicky’s hand).

I don’t understand medicine, so the words of a doctor are more valuable to me than the words of people who like to argue about everything for no reason. I didn't mean to offend anyone, good luck to everyone.

if I was looking for a job and heard the employer saying

she doesn't share the same passion. She was primarily concerned about potential earnings, not the craft behind it.

I leave immediately without saying a word, those who have already been to several interviews understand what I'm talking about.

My takeaways from this excerpt of the dev log:

* The gf did not want to do the work to earn the money - no mention that Ocean was looking for an excellent specialist for little-to-no money.

the way I read it, she didn't want to train an unknown amount of time for the possibility of getting a job she might not be interested in. which is honestly understandable
