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

[vneotpolemus]

I'm a big fan of this VN. Truly. But let's all face the truth. While the writing is extremely good, perhaps even exceptional, for a porn game, it's far from world shaking prose. Plus now the MC is saddled with ED. In a porn game. Seriously? There is slow burn and the there is no burn, and the developer has created an entirely new concept reverse burn.

I enjoy the game, but at this point the complete lack of intimacy among the various characters is getting very very old. Adding ED to the mix is just boring. For the record there can not be sexual tension between the MC and any character if sex is off the table by decree. So the various scenes called out here as expressing that have missed the point. Until sexual intimacy is a possibility all of this is just posturing, and as it continues it's ever more boring posturing.

I very very much like this game and the writing, but it's long past time for some heat.

I wasn't bothered by that. Its like an MCU film giving the hero a disabling injury in the first act. You know they're going to overcome it at a suitably dramatic moment.

I actually don't mind if they kept the sex scenes up till the last second, Summer's gone and Hillside are two VNs I've tried that I don't actually mind if there isn't any sex or saves the sex for the last, It makes sense in the context of the story but then again, I'm one of the few people who read for the story and doesn't care for the sex at all.




But I do understand the people who are getting blue balled at the ridiculous amount of sexual tension between our main guy and the girls nami and bella, hell even amber is so physical with her therapy lmao

Yeah this is really one of my fav. VN's where sex dont matter...
The story is much more interesting...i wouldnt say its over the top...
but like AOA ; DeLuca Family ; Rebirth (and some other like Now.And.Then where its not only about sex) you wouldnt care about the lag of sex...

I have been using that second image as my wallpaper.

Which leads me to a question Oceanlab. I have gone to the folder of the game and the images are saved in jpg. I understand that using png probably would increase the size too big. But I read that webp can help reduce overall size both with lossless and lossy quality compared to png and jpg, respectively.

In my experience, webp is inferior when it comes to shadows. (Compared to jpg)
Some darker images looked completely different.

I'll stick to jpg for now.

So the question is simply, once the game is complete, is there any chance to have a full quality image version?

Sure, but that size is going to be damn big.

Like at least 30-50GB for each season. Especially the cinematics are compressed rather hard.
From 400MB+ to under 70MB.


But yeah, I might do that after every season that is completed.

Those two renders are from a custom-set of renders for a guy who likes to smoke a lot of weed.
And whatever happens in those custom-sets, is entirely fictional.



But in the end, the characters are also just "human". They have flaws and make mistakes. It's up to the player to help them change for the "better".

But I agree, smoking is a real turnoff.
But I personally wouldn't want to miss out on a potentially amazing person just because of that. I'd rather invest some of my energy into her and try to help her stop smoking.

The payoff of this energy investment might be invaluable beyond estimation.

Don't get me wrong, i'll go for Bella no matter what

but she doesn't strike me as someone who would smoke but that's me. It's your story and you do with the character whatever you want, i know what i want for them too and all i can do is hope

 

[TrexOfKyo]

Just reading comments of everyone then I saw Ocean's pfp and it made me smile. I fricking love her, I'm so excited for her role this upcomming update. I wanna know her reaction to that kinky dnd games of Nadia and friends~
Also looking forward to Nadia and Mc's interactions if she's in the next update

This mindset is what makes your character building so unique! Sets you apart from all the others because you aren't afraid to make them human with real flaws and attributes instead of just clichés and fan service! Part of what drew me to Bella in the first place, when I initially thought I'd hate her (as I typically hate the stuck up rich girl cliché) was her being pretty much bi-polar. She's tormented and has actual motivation for her behavior beyond "I'm rich and hot".

Agreed 100 percent. Had that same experience with Bella. I thought I was going to hate her, and was gung ho to hate her, and by golly did Oceanlab turn me around hard with her. I really can't wait to see the other characters get the same narrative treatment Bella has gotten these first few eps.

It's like she lost her consciousness.
P.S. Nami centered scenes follows closely after the Bella's though. But her time will come.

This is a message to all the players that doesn't appreciate this VN as it should be...

I'll leave some wise words from Captain Onishima:

"Send in the choppers. When you find those kids, don't waste any time - Just nab'em!"

(hope you get the reference!)

 

[manmker123]

is the girl Sasha the lost twin sister to Nami or something? it feels like she and the MC has a connection

Or is could be a girl aka Summer that is MC's lost love.
