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

Keep in mind you still have the Music Restoration Mod in the OP which contains most of the songs that were used at some point in the game. And it works like a playlist. Even if the song you wanted no longer triggers in a specific scene, you can do so manually.

I've been living vicariously through YouTube since the great music exodus.

Small correction. SG is technically a VN. Not an AVN. Since Ocean made it a point to secure a USK 16 if I'm not mistaken.

There actually was censorship. Literal textbook censorship. Multiple renders of genitals were either removed or edited out.

He didn't secure it. This is a bigger topic, but I believe in order to secure an official rating, it has to go through a government ratings board, which the movie/book/game/thing charges the applicant. That is why there are USK 18+ games that can be seen without signing in to steam: if the advertising doesn't show any 18+ content, and it has the age that it can be sold to displayed, there is no problem with it being on the shelf - if it gets an approved rating. They can still refuse give the game a rating, which means it can't be displayed to anyone under 18 regardless. Games without an official rating are the ones you can't see unless signed in, or games that have 18+ content on the storepage. SG can't be seen unless signed in (although the DLC can, which is clever). In effect, after all that backwards and forwards, Ocean just left it as the too hard (and expensive) basket, and moved on to season 2. Hindsight's a wonderful thing.

Sorry but I am wotb Bob on this one. Ocean made a business decision to go for a 16 rating and adjusted his products accordingly. It is not censorship. Maybe with WiaB could be made a argument but not here. Not saying that I like it, I miss much of these scenes and think that the lack of them hurts the story. But still is not censorship.

So, what forum are these in?

Be aware that if you do, there is a chance your save won't work with Season 2. Most mods have a habit of breaking saves when used with an unmodded version. There is no guarantee that the modder will do any mod for compatibility for Season 2.

All you will get is a fan-made mod that:
- changes the relationships for the people who don't believe in roommates (but there's no real lewds anyway)
- adds back some flaccid dick pics
- adds one vagina reveal that was removed
- adds one assjob scene that doesn't even finish
- replaces some dialogue, extends some scenes that were trimmed
- restores the (non lewd) cinematics that had to be removed because the music people wouldn't renew the licenses.

It's honestly not worth it if you haven't played it, you won't know what you missed to complain you missed it. You will still have blue balls, but you'll have to play from the start again unmodded if your save doesn't transfer to season 2 because of an unofficial mod.

Instead, play the game, download the mod, and look at the cinematics and renders in the folder to get an idea of what you missed after, knowing that OCean is redoing a better assjob scene for the next update (by the look of it).



Ocean did do a patreon version of Season 1, he restored Nami topless at the lake and a few other things. That is what got updated on steam, once Ocean realised he couldn't get it under the 16 age rating. So your friend is telling the truth, but everyone has the patreon version now. There was no promise that the jacuzzi scene would be restored, because Ocean's doing a better one in the next update. Your friend hasn't understood what Ocean said about the versions, but getting it on Steam is another long drama. At least that is done, from here both games are 18+ moving forward.

As far as censorship goes, Ocean removed some racially oriented slurs, some brand names/logos, turned down the percentage of swearing, cut some scenes short (most notable are Nami's: the bed scene - with Nika's nipples, the assjob scene with Nika's semi chub, Maja's toybox scene with Nami's bigger involvement) removed all penises etc.

The thing is these changes were done by him trying to get it below 18+ so it could be sold anywhere. That's not censorship, that's his choice. I can disagree with his choice, but it's not censorship. He can still choose to add the missing things to steam if he wanted, because they care less than patreon. Again, he is just being overly cautious since what happened with WiaB, it's not just the lewds, just the scripts or certain innocent scenes can be enough. Yes things were cut, no it's not censorship if the dev does it for their own reasons.



Well, keep those dreams alive for the MMF throuple. But who knows, maybe you'll get Sai instead

I will only accepted a MMF throuple with Nick and Nojiko or Damien and any girl.

After playing it i would list it under my "had potential but going nowhere" list.
I am totally not bothered by censorship in this game, not every game needs to have harems and sex after sex scene. There are many.
The game starts really strong for first couple of chapters but then kind of losses focus. There seems to be no solid direction it is going, no significant story reveals are anything. Just tidbit's of events like the bookclub event in final chapter but no major character development or events which were revealed in chapter 1.
From chapter 1 to 5 in-game story has hardly moved 1 month which would be fine BUT when you see that the game originally came out in 2019 it has been over 5 years to reach where?
* MC hasn't joined any basketball team
* Bella neighbours event had 0 development
* No major path for any of the girls

Which again would have been fine if the game didn't come out freakin 6 years ago.

I think that is a extreme fair criticism of the game, SG needs to pick up the pace. But I also think is well to remember that it is a ambitious project, with over 60 chapters. I always say that most AVNs are like a mini series, each episose is crucial and has to deliver in mutiple front, lewd, story characters. SG works more like a book, you don't discover who did it in chapter 5, and this is the point we are now.

 

[Mr_Mister]

what i would like to happen ..... that never will in SG
because Ocean is kinda .... barely a writer.

#1 Mc and Nami not related to Zane , Petrova or Revera
#2 Whatever happened to Summer was provoke by Mc trying to stop her from leaving or be taking away?
#3 Finding out who are Summer's family members
#4 Mc dating or befriend a Zane , Petrova or Revera
#5 While dating or befriend Zane , Petrova or Revera ; the revelation that one of this families was involved in Mc and Nami's parents death. (Mc's and Nami's parents were casualties of Z , P or R stupid turf wars or was a simple accident)
a great Conundrum "what would Mc do" .
#6 Finding out that Mc and Nami were giving to Nojiko by Z , P or R to hide 'em from investigation after their involvement in their parents deaths
#7 Bella's father car accident was the cause of Bella's sister coma and Bella's fast driving motivation or was Bella the one that cause her father to crash the car? .
#8 Vic and Mila getting their original more natural look ? ..............
#9 Solving the mystery of why everybody dies from a car accident on this damn "VN"
#10 will Mc learn to use the internet to find out about Summer and learn about everyone surrounding him ? , half the mystery it's gone just by using Google

reaction to #2 could it be legendary !


Just a bunch of random thoughts while waiting for food to be delivered on my job !

That's...about 100% of the threads I follow. Development times are long and only getting longer. People get bored. Discussions go in circles. The sun rises and sets everyday. Water is wet. Fire burns. It is what it is.

Also new users come into the threads every once in a while. They bring up topics that have already been discussed to death. Opinions that have already been shared a thousand times. Should we just not engage with them?

I don't get the point of your comment. If the thread is just rehashing old shit you could just move on to another one...

I think that a number of those things are possible to happen and not a few are likely. Only time will tell.

This definitely is a 30th of February, but only in Wollust.

 

[LostGhost]

MC or nami could be either related to zane or William since William is not related by blood with Zane nika could be related to zane without consequences

Can someone explain to me the end of season 1? Was it the imaginary sister of Bella in the talk or was that a Summer?

It was summer's gone.

It was the real sister of Bella, she's alive. Sasha is Summer

 

[multihacker]

Sasha is Summer

no way... But I'm sad that in the game I counted 5 or 6 girls with Megan Fox faces I don't like DEI or body positive, but this beauty standard killing me)

Of course, no way! It's an old joke that people keep pushing. The dev has said many times that Sasha is not Summer.

 

[John972]

Actually, Nika is Summer. He has a severe personality disorder and gender identity issues, leading to psychosomatic impotence. Nojiko, Nami, Nia, and Elsa (i.e. those from Nika's past) have long indulged Nika's delusion because previous attempts to confront Nika about the truth culminated in the "violent incident." At least Nika no longer rubs the lotion on the skin. Bullshit, I know, but nothing in the story to date disproves this theory.
