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

[AlexFXR]

In the last devlog (I think, or the one before), Ocean spoke about 50 renders (not scenes) in the cue, presumably each game has 50 based on the numbers he provided. Whether or not this is fast or slow isn't really relevant, that is what he said his speed is, so that's what I assume he can do on average, render with more characters probably go slower than average. He give an estimate for each game how the progress is going in terms of render count, those are the only numbers we can guess any time frame from.

I think I got it, you're talking about this, I quote: Currently, my PC can render ~20 to 50 images at night, depending on the number of characters in the scene.
Everything is simple here, Ocean wrote earlier that 1 scene is rendered in 4.5 minutes. For large scenes, he bought himself an A6000. Just multiply the number of renders by 4.5 minutes, add a maximum of +5% for the queue settings and you will get the approximate rendering time.
P.S. You're confused, it doesn't do 50 renders a day, but 50 per night.

Jesus, at this rate I will have to major in math to understand this thread. I am not this intelligent guys. The tax talk is bad enough.

We all know he'll just end up making...more renders instead....

Fingers crossed for the stealth update when WiaB comes out!



Well, that's different to making 50 more chapters worth of SG renders in which way?

Honestly though, the problem is two ridiculously large chapters that should have been split into parts. SG S2Ch1 is really the size of 2.5-3 chapters. If he did that in a year, that means he's increased his speed by 2.5-3 times without even the workstation. But until updates arrive, its pointless to wonder what happens next ...so I suspect we'll drink a lot of coffee in the meantime.

Oh no no no... you both take the wrong turn... 8000 render make the dream true, each branch has a unique outfit and hair style depending of choices!!!!
More raw power = every single render is like the final battle of "Avengers: End game"
Even the sexual scenes, all characters will have a special aparition making a "Genkidama"

Just started the game and so far so good. But damn, it's hard to get used to MC's hair. He looks like a bad Final Fantasy character.

Wait, you mean to tell me that Nika isn't a terrible Final Fantasy character created by Nomura?

I'm sure Bella in background laughs her ass of. That could be her words too...

He's mentioned his workflow is to set up scenes during the day and let them render while he can't work on scenes at night before, so that assumption of 20-50 renders per 24 hour period seems to match how his render numbers are going. It's is also assume per game, as he's spoken of that number for each game, we don't know what he means 100% and I can't stare over his shoulder to check.

In any regard, we know he is not faster than this, or we'd have the update already. This was just an example to explain why redoing the renders of season 1 for a consistent colour grade using the latest daz models is a very bad idea. As it's hypothetical, it's better to use those numbers to work out approximately when we might see the updates.

Before he counted half chapters as a chapter, but he change it now to just releasing full chapters.

Bella & Victoria - Christmas Day 2
Hello,
With today's Christmas renders, I had to give myself a 15 minute time limit for each render. 15 minutes and what I have by the end of it will be rendered.
I had to do this because my focus is not always under control, and before I realize it, two hours have passed.
The cover:

Victoria
A bundle of joy.

Four images were planned, but I ended up with five—another sign that I am running the risk of becoming temporarily obsessed with a Treat. If it were up to me, I would've done 10 images each for Bellchen and Vic.
But the updates, ya know.
Setting an alarm for 15 minutes definitely helped.
Tomorrow, the last set will be published, and it will be Miru and Katie.
-Ocean

Bella looks so good as always, nice treat for Christmas.

Victoria i dont really care for i still find it weird that she is a romance option in this game given that she is mentally challenged its like romancing a child, its just weird bro...

 

[O1duvai]

I just sometimes go to quickly skim through 500 pages and maybe even look at the devlogs.

December 27. It seems that once upon a time (not so much) I heard something about the second season (at least its beginning) at the end of the year.

Oh, postcards. Let's say I pick it up.

It seems it’s time to make waiting for a continuation from the Ocean a goal in life, and not an achievement for a couple of years.

Maybe I’ll even put it in my dying will. Maybe at least descendants.

Happy holidays, waiting friends.

And here I was thinking I'm a bit too harsh on some of the characters...goddamn!

At least I hate on Zara and the camwhore, not the cute and wholesome chubby little cripple.

I dont dislike the character at all, I just feel her being a romance option was always a weird choice to me. I guess it came off crude me calling her mentally challenged, but i dunno how to say it else? Developmentally challenged? Slow? Autistic? I dunno, either way she is a sweet character, just weird that she is romancable.

Ocean speaking through his mouth

Like in the following image? The dev asking those who are complaining about being blueballed for 5 years :

The man sure likes his titties big.

Who doesn't?

You only get that render if Bella crushed your balls in the first basketball game, which happens if you don't go breaking into the Holgersons with her.

He's mentioned his workflow is to set up scenes during the day and let them render while he can't work on scenes at night before, so that assumption of 20-50 renders per 24 hour period seems to match how his render numbers are going. It's is also assume per game, as he's spoken of that number for each game, we don't know what he means 100% and I can't stare over his shoulder to check.

You have fully described the problem that all game developers working on one PC face. During the day, the developer creates scenes, and at night he sets them to render. A few years ago, Ocean asked for money to buy a new PC to get rid of these problems. Now on one PC he creates and configures scenes, and another PC renders at the same time. As a result, it turns out that the PC on which he creates scenes can only render at night, and the other PC can render around the clock.

*Research* for the throuple path maybe?

I sure hope so

If that throuple ever becomes a reality what's next? A Katie-Nojiko throuple? A Jenna-Kelly one?

From the LI List linked on the first page of the thread, based on reasonable authority -

Nami: guaranteed main LI (Nami/Bella is possible but she is otherwise probably the least compatible with other girls, Nami/Mila not possible)

Note2: There will be no harem route. One was originally planned (although it would not have included every girl) but the game took a lighter tone, of healing, than was first thought, and the harem route does not fit the story anymore. You should still be able to bang virtually every girl in a playthrough but having a romantic relationship with several girls being aware of each other is a whole different thing. There will be throuples for the compatible girls, but no more than that. I have summarized this myself, if you want to hear from the source itself, most of the updated info regarding harem comes from here.
Update 2022: only 3 throuples are planned as of summer 2022, there might eventually be more or fewer but that's to say that throuples will be rather the exception and in most cases won't happen.
Update 2024: there is one M/M/F throuple planned

So who knows?
