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

[handsoem]

for last few page ppl debating regarding this "different" quality. While in my eyes, both are great. And if we compare Ocean's work compared other AVN, this is one of the best quality i ever met.

Hell, bcz of SG and some other AVN (like BaDIK, Strangers on Papers, WIAB, Summer Heat), i hardly can play other AVN because the models, lightnings and stories cannot satisfy what i want.

I'm sorry if i'm off topic here, but while we wait SG season 2, maybe any of you can give me reference of good AVN that have similar quality like SG?

Similar quality is definitely Superhuman, not same art style or premise though.

 

[shenlao]

Similar quality is too hard to find, but you can look here and here

Thank you, i'll look into it brother!!

I don't really like the art style of Superhuman, thou ppl said it is one of good AVN around. But thank you for the reference brother

Just to close up the topic and to go back to SG again: That isn´t political nonsense, read the newspapers!
As for the development speed of Summer´s gone and Wiab that will stay 1 update/year, if we get lucky. Longer time intervals are the norm. That is something which has not changed the last years and it will not change.

I'm dying curious about the story for SG S2. I hope it they release official release date soon.

Anyway, after some walkthrough with different paths and ofc play WIAB, i have gut feeling that Nika and Nami are adopted by Noji because they're the "unwanted" child from those big families.

The reasons are because Noji is a doctor, Zoey "curiosity" when she first met Nika at Bella's House, Sasha and friends who always present around Nika at campus (seems act like a bodyguard for Nika), Ayua intervention when Sasha asked Nami about earring and some dialog that happen at Book Club strengthen my suspicion. I think Nika and Nami are part of those Big Family, BUT Nika and Nami are from different big family.

They can't be adopted. It just doesn't work in Wollust. But somehow Noji got that legally covered because they lived with her after their parents died, went to school, and the authorities didn't question it.

It wasn't Zoey at the Amber's kitchen, it was Dani, Amber's college friend, they were on trip in WiAB and met WiAB's MC - William at the gas station and later in the Leia's club.

Red hair lady's complexion kinda similar to Nami plus the cheeto head. Now obviously that Vic's mom beside her, did Maja mention something about their parent incident?

oh my mistake, i though it was Zoey.

But again, i'm not sure their parents are actually died OR died because of accident. because the statement from Jenna at Book Club when she said :



i'm convinced that she's not talking about Noji bring them at Book Club, but about Noji decision to rise them both.

Well, but once again, its just my argument based on my gameplays.

Maja told Nika that their parent died because of old age, i think Maja said their age were 65 and 67 when they died, so i think that was not their mom.

I doubt it can be Vic's mom despite the resemblance. Maja told Nika that their parents were over 40 when they decided to have children. And they died before that conversation happened, her mom was 67. The difference between SG and WiAB is about 20 years. So it is unlikely that the girl from your screenshot is 40+ year-old Maja's mother.

may "They're both dead."
may "Our parents were in their mid 40s when I was born... and even older when Vic was born."
may "My mother died when she was 67, and my dad died a week before his 65th birthday."

Yeah, Jenna is obviously hinting at the past.

With WiAB's new backstory, they could be the next incarnation of WiAB's William and Leia: orphans from destroyed crime families, and Noji is hiding them for the time being.

What I mean is that Noji, Nika and Nami can't be related to each other, cause it would make Nami and Nika relationships 'cestous in the eyes of the content distributors.

Beat me to it. Additionally, for it to be momma Frohn - which is possible given only the extremely old women seem to show age in Ocean's games (Noji being at least 40 herself in SG, Amber likely similar) - she'd probably had to leave baby Maja with pappa Frohn to have a wild night out - Maja's older than 20 I think.

 

[Bommols01]

but damn, they look so alike...

 

[Dr.TSoni]

It just doesn't work in Wollust.

In Wollust no one believes in adoptions.

it could be, or maybe either Nika or Nami, one of them is Zane, since Katie sudden show up at Book Club and its piss Noji.

And a little joke, i already convince from the start that Nika, Nami and Noji are not related at all because of their looks and race, even Nika cannot explain why his "sister" is redhead hahahaha

 

[FunChaser]

... i have gut feeling that Nika and Nami are adopted by Noji because they're the "unwanted" child from those big families.

If I'm not mistaken Ocean mentioned that we didn't see Nika's parents in WiAB yet. So I suppose both Nika and Nami are offsprings of some eliminated (by mafia) families, like William and Leia in WiAB.

 

[yossa999]

but damn, they look so alike...

With the Ocean, you never know if the similarities between people or things mean something. There are usually a few clear clues that tell you it's not just a coincidence. For example, the winged earrings, or snake bracelets. They were mentioned in different conversations.
On the other hand, a few characters from SG and WiAB wear cross-shaped earrings. For example Daphne from WiAB and Kelly from SG Book Club. There was even a theory that it's a sign of them belonging to the cultists... But nothing in the game points at this so far.

But the similarities between the characters... Just put the portraits of Bella and young Katie next to each other.
In the old WiAB there was a character, Sedilla, who was looking very alike Nami, and was wearing the same winged earrings. No idea if she will appear in the new WiAB.

oh interesting, i just know about this.

Well it will shift my perspective completely if their parents will be be shown at WiAB later on. Since at WiAB, we knew Noji is still "nobody" and doesn't have influence at all.

Maybe, just maybe, Nika and Nami's family is either Ally or Enemy Family to William. But probably Ally. BUT i hope it will be the enemy family, it make more interesting story telling since William is still present at SG. hahaha

oh dont forget Katie wearing it too at WiAB at Bathroom scene with William hahahaha

Or maybe they are not mafia at all. They could be from the force, or even bystanders.

 

[Bommols01]

I think that there was a common enemy for three families ZPR, so they formed an alliance to go against it. In the end, the alliance won, but as a result, a retaliation or a revenge plot against them might have been enacted, and Sasha might be a victim of it. That's why she trains martial arts, has a bodyguard and mental trauma. Her scar caused by sexual assault in the past might be plausible given the context that her charm ruined several marriages, but if so, she must be very uncomfortable around men. The game shows none of this, so I assume that is not the case.

Nami may very well be involved with these families. She has one of Leia earring, her parents died in a car accident (which sounds pretty set up), and Katie Zane came to check on her, knowing that she will attend that book club. Now, there isn't much known about Nika; his parents also died in a car accident. He mentioned an uncle taught him how to play basketball, presumably William, that was when he was in Noji's custody, so William may be just checking on Nami, or he could also be involved with the mafia stuff, I don't know. Okay, how does that sound, guys?

 

[yossa999]

Or another funny coincidence, maybe Ocean was too lazy to come up with different descriptions of perfume scents, or maybe this is a hint at something. The most popular perfume in Wollust.

SG, Nika and Bella in the fitting room at the clothes store:
d "(Her scent is... intoxicating.)"
d "(It's a very clean fragrance... Amber... Iris... Neroli... Kinda like the ones Nojiko wears.)"

WiAB, William meets Helen for the first time after his return:
"A little hint of her perfume rises up... Iris... Amber... Neroli... A very pure and fresh scent."
"You kiss her on the head."
