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

[Julius Kingsley]

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.

Well, I don’t know if I’m smart enough, because even a blind donkey is supposed to notice that Zara is a future love interest.

Maybe, or maybe it's wishful thinking on your part. I'm not saying she isn't. I'm just saying shit can get in the way of that happening. You're the one being an offensive prick. I'm just talking.

Zara: main LI, solo route only, threesomes possible but no throuple ending, "will never lose LI status"

She is a LI, been confirmed since the start.

I didn’t mean to offend—just two dudes talking. The only thing that could really get in the way of that is Ocean not finishing the game, which will probably happen.

Hey, I've been out of the loop for a long while. When was the last dev-update from Ocean? Curious to see how far along he is (isn't? ) since season 1 wrapped up.

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

This scene was just dumb and not even hot imo, i think its just made a bigger deal because its deleted now and wont matter at all when we get real lewds and more sexyness in general

 

[AlexFXR]

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.

Yes, we've heard it many times. He constantly wants to move to Spain, spends a lot of time on it and in the end he never moves. Now Ocean doesn't need to move, he's learned to laze around without it, now he posts pictures and promises a lot of crap, like in the last few months, the main thing is that no one notices that game development is at a standstill.

Which is why Ocean removed the mention of adoption and cut Nami humping Nika in the hot tub.

Mention of adoption - yes. Jacuzzi humping scene - no, it just didn't fit with more reserved personality of Nami that was needed for 16+ S1. Judging by the previews this scene will return in all its glory in the S2.

You say that it was to make Nami more "reserved", yet she still talks about Nika getting a "semi" after she sat on him. It has nothing to do with her character being toned down. Her merely sitting on his lap can be perceived as non-sexual, her grinding on him cannot.

Removing that scene was an attempt to kill two birds with one stone, lower the steam rating and avoid any potential branding of incest (since Noji raising them both since toddlers is seen by everyone as adoption) by Patreon. It's only being re-added to the Steam release because it had no effect on lowering Steam's rating.

Nami is one of the main LIs and MC will eventually bang her, it's just delayed until S2. It's okay since they're just roommates and Noji their Asian landlady.

We can choose to believe that, but we all know the truth...

The Jacuzzi scene got added in 2022, WiaB got yeeted from Patreon for incest in 2022... Then suddenly all mentions of adoption were removed. I get why Ocean did it, if he wasn't cautious, all his projects would die on the vine.

 

[AlexFXR]

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.

Do you read his Dev logs carefully? I won't sing my old song about post-processing being just a way to milk his Patreons. I did that before with all the examples. Now I will use only Ocean's words. He said that he does post-processing for 500 renders a day. Now remember how much time has passed since that log when Ocean said that Wiab was ready and only post-processing remained? If you multiply 500 by the number of days that have passed, it turns out that post-processing could have been done not only for Chapter 4 of Wiab, but for the entire season.

WiaB got yeeted from Patreon for incest in 2022

In 2024.

We can choose to believe that, but we all know the truth...

Even me, with my complete lack of imagination, can come up with several retcon explanations why Noji, Nami, and Nika live together without being related to each other. It may seem far-fetched or implausible to some, but then again, who cares. People are perfectly fine with Spiderman or House M.D., even though both are pure fiction that can’t stand any serious criticism. As long as people like the story and the characters, they’re willing to suspend their disbelief to the maximum.

"but we all know the truth" - It's a fictional story in the making and the author is known for changing it on the fly. We know shit.

Spoiler: Nami S2: no funny business between roommates!

"Adoption is a process whereby a person assumes the parenting of another, usually a child, from that person's biological or legal parent or parents."

You can't explain why a woman with no familial relation has solely raised two children from the ages of three to eighteen and them not be classed as a family unit. That is why every mention of adoption was removed, because Patreon counts step-siblings as incest. The change wasn't because the narrative called for it, it was because Patreon was cracking skulls.

Nika and Nami even share the same surname and you're telling me we don't reeeally know... Come on dude.
