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

[Miranha157]

I like the new choices selection:

It is as clear a 'Save Here' as you can get and I like knowing where I can use some of the favors I've collected.

The purple dialogue option for potential lewd time is also nice although common sense has worked fine in S1 for what to do and Not to do so I don't know if this will add much to the choice options.

As to possible kinks and this is the entrance (like foot jobs Y/N) - it is a nice option for making those kinds of decisions.

I enjoyed the blender discussion and am very happy that Ocean has 5,100 renders worth of post work behind him.

I recognize that some people here don't care for everything that is in the dev log but the dev log was Not created for F95 ... the dev log was created for $ supporters, one of whom kindly copied and pasted it here, renders included, for everyone's use.

I appreciate a dev who owns how RL is impacting his work in the near term and shares some of what is impacting him.

When Ocean pulls the trigger to move from Germany to another part of Europe, for example, I certainly expect a few weeks of disrupted workflow at a minimum and knowing what is going on makes it easier for me to accept/understand the future slowdown, whenever it hits.

This next render hints at a level of ease I appreciate:

This feels like Zara and Nika came into Vanessa's room where she and Nami are visiting.

Zara might make the comment about putting some clothes on and Vanessa retorts that this is her room and her rules...

Zara lets it go then she and Nika get to wrestling a bit - ignoring Vanessa's topless state and the four of them chat, much the way they did while naked in the hot tub.

Naked or topless can be sexy but it does not have to be sexual, and here, this scene says it is not.

I'm also a big Zara fan and seeing the way she and the MC are building their friendship that could be more is a nice contrast to the MC/Bella relationship which is my current favorite (even though it is more of a minefield where missteps feel more dangerous).

IMO- a nice two-week update!

Cheers!!

Zara: What Are You Doing, Step Bro?

 

[Miranha157]

So go away. Nobody is forcing you to be here, trolling fans of the work.

Where am I trying? Is telling the naked truth really that painful? Because if I'm wrong, tell me when was the last time Ocean promised something and followed through?

Just like you, I really want this update to arrive and for him to finish the Ocean universe, both in SG and WiAB, but let's be realistic, the guy is making two games at the same time and can't even make two updates a year, imagine finishing both games with around 20 chapters.

I'm not sure if Zara and Vanessa will end up our sisters or not, but they are sure fun to be around.

I guess it will all depend on noji.

unfortunately, it’s heavily hinted that we’re going to move out with Mila Nami and another girl. So no family bonding anymore

She doesn’t look old to me. View attachment 4773383

She looks mid-20s at least, late-20s/early-30s possibly.

I'm just thinking unless Miru (being ~24 in WiaB) sprouts her in the next couple WiaB updates, I don't see her being Miru's first born. All the kids at ZPR are 18, so a 20 year gap between stories seems nicely placed.

I can see her being one of Miru's younger sisters, who, if the 20 year gap is true, Adrianna would have been 5-10 when Miru left for Wollust.

I disagree. Even if we move out, we will still visit often. We are close with Noji, and we'll still be at school with Zara.

I thought it was a 22 year gap between games.

I thought it was a 22 year gap between games.

Not sure it's ever explicitly stated, I think people guesstimated because it gives a few years buffer for all the families kids and Katie looks 40.

Vanessa is already Nika's sister... William and Donna are her parents.

 

[Dee6902]

is this a joke? he still at 5k render???

Not defending him, WiAB should be out by now and has been his main focus. but if you actually read the DevLog he did postwork on the 5k render meaning he wont have to when he finishes the last 2000 and directly said this as well.

Zara is a main LI why tf would we want her as a sister when you can get her as more

If Noji and Nick get married, say goodbye to that relationship. Step-incest is just as banned as real incest for Patreon, and you can't retconn that away.

It’s not even a step situation, Noji isn’t his real mom. By that point, the MC’s origins will already have been revealed, and there’s also the uncensored version. Regardless, it’s clear Ocean thought this through when he made her a main girl.

Wow, wrong yet again. Noji is their adopted mother, legally or otherwise. It counts as far as Patreon is concerned.

If you really think Zara is not a romanceable character, i dunno what you're doing here bro..

Which is why Ocean removed the mention of adoption and cut Nami humping Nika in the hot tub. Fear of action by Patreon after WiaB got yeeted.

They either missed it the first go around, or it wasn't yet explicit enough.

Are you even playing this game? You don't even flirt with her yet. You only make out with four girls (at my last count, could be incomplete): Nami, Bella, Vic, and Mila. No sex at all, and only one partial erection. Unless you think there's the Platonic ideal of Love, there are no "romanceable" characters until your MC heals more.

Yeah, as I mentioned earlier, I only have played on the Steam game, modded with Scrappy, Uncut, and Uncensored.. I am currently downloading from here, to hopefully run a "clean" Scrappy run, without the Incest patch and restored content, so I can stop getting into fucking fights about it all.

Obviously, I’m talking about the future, and Ocean already revealed the main 12 love interests years ago. Again, if you seriously think Zara is just there to be a stepsister, I don’t know why you’re even here mate..

Thankfully there lies in the glorious internet ways to still find that really epic hot tub scene with MC and Nami

I'm here to play a brilliant game and get in arguments on the internet, same as you. I'm also smart enough not to believe second-hand forum posts from a dev that reworks stuff constantly.
