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

[BobTheDuck]

It all depends on the overall plan for the next two updates. Let's say the upcoming update will end around Tuesday at the moment when Amber and Nika get into the car. And the next update will be mostly about the journey with her, building a relationship with her and filling in the gaps from the past. So being pretty linear without any paths but with enough content to be satisfying, If it was done this way I think there is a chance it would make it by the end of the year.

If he's already figured out that somehow it takes 6 hours to get to the cabin, let him worry about making the trip with Amber interesting.

Hey! There he had already awakened his devil's fruit, only the trauma made him forget all that!

I would stop mention the cabin, maybe Ocean gets wind of it and decides that he needs to remake the whole S1 to make it more consistent. In a serious note is maybe possible a different cabine ? or a different lake ?

Why would there be any value in Amber taking him to a different cabin? And Nika and Nami talk about how they used to go to the lake years ago.

Sorco's right, best explanation is the devils' fruit.

If it means something to you, you'll come up with a far-fetched story for everything.

You can always say that Nojiko meant a trip in both directions and one way is 3 hours. The terrain is inaccessible, mountainous, forested and also with many small ponds and lakes and cross-country you'll get there in 1.5 hours, while driving on an off-road in 3

I don't know. Trying to make sense of something that cleary does not. Devil's fruit it is then

Ocean? I'm more worried about yossa999. If he finds out he's gonna come around and scold BobTheDuck for caring about and pointing out "insignificant" stuff that "doesn't matter"

I apologise for caring but it's not like I can change the fact that my worldview is based around logic and common sense.

I will make sure to cry more then. Lets buy this workstation upfront

I'm crossing my fingers he makes millions! I want him to buy a house made of workstations so he can't produce faster than they render. That is my dream.

As long as the money doesn't come from my accounts I'm good. Just like any f2p game I thank all the whales that allow me to play for free! God bless y'all!!!

- By Ocean

Taking into account that according to him S2 -CH1 will be two in one, honestly I would prefer to receive one in December and another in the middle of the year, As for WiAB I don't remember how many renders or how many updates in one there will be, what remains is to wait and honestly I am not fooled by this station of his. Every time he makes an upgrade, instead of speeding up the updates he delays them more kkkkkkkkkkkkk.

 

[imagica]

SG got updated less than a year ago, is still in the time frame and is a huge update , or so is said. For WiaB is not good be almost 14 months with out update.

With only problem, that last SG update was a remake. And don't remind me about Steam release shenanigans.

Is frustrating but still was a update. I think he realized that maybe it was not the best decision to make 2 chapters in one update but it is what it is.

 

[jock1a]

The fact we're suggesting another 3 months for anything is quite frankly ridiculous.

i am with you way better creater's out there that put out content regularly. Like someone else said as long as it is not my money i don't care.

To me, the only logical conclusion is that Nika is not a reliable narrator with his dreams. Some details he dreams about and some details he tells Amber in therapy aren't true. If correct, that raises the question of why Nika/Summer "ran away from home" to a location six hours away?

Time will tell if there is some story-telling masterstroke to reconcile this particular plot-hole. I am not holding my breath...

You are mistaken, SG was updated more than a year ago. The last update was in October 2023. There were no more updates, even in the steam version there was only censorship and another rework.

Yes, the rework was a update.

Outta those fancy reacts because everyone's been on point: I remember a quote from a philosopher (can't remember who) that said "logic is the worst way to evaluate humanity". or something like that. The cabin and the cat scratches are proof of this.

Never stop - the pushback when we demand better might mean there are two or three less logic conflicts in S2Ch1 by some sort of logic osmosis or something. Yossa demands the same, until he decides he loves the game anyway, then he's #teamalwayshasbeen I manage to treat it like a dream or poor spatial awareness - Nika, Nami and Noji all suffer from the same mistake about the scale on maps, and always arrive early because they misjudge the distance

I'm crossing my fingers he makes millions! I want him to buy a house made of workstations so he can't produce faster than they render. That is my dream.

As long as the money doesn't come from my accounts I'm good. Just like any f2p game I thank all the whales that allow me to play for free! God bless y'all!!!

This is the way! If we get S2Ch1 by mid year, it'll be the fastest OCean's rendered so far. If the new workstation speeds that up, we get more sooner #notholdingmybreathbut

To me, the only logical conclusion is that Nika is not a reliable narrator with his dreams. Some details he dreams about and some details he tells Amber in therapy aren't true. If correct, that raises the question of why Nika/Summer "ran away from home" to a location six hours away?

Except it's not to do with dreams, he dreams about where he last touched Summer (the "event from the past that I'm reliving over and over again"), and Nami did tell Larverne where they'd gone ("No, the only chance to go further got lost when you sent Jane after us"). And it's Noji who mentions the distance ("Oh, that's a six hour drive away"). So it's a real Oceanverse event.

I guess they didn't mention the interdimensional portal that they used as kids to walk there, that's probably just an oversight. The glowing flowers are part of the power up for the teleportal - that's what happens to Nika each night, crossing time and space...


Anyway, by now if Ocean fixed this, I'd be disappointed I don't play games purely for logic, because most of them have terrible porn logic. At least SG doesn't have so much terrible porn logic...

Yes, the rework was a update.

Because, from the OP:

Thread Updated: 2024-05-15
Release Date: 2024-05-13

Call it whatever we want, the OP says what the site thinks. That's the timer this thread goes by no matter what we think of the amount of work in the rework and the steam release.
