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

[BobTheDuck]

Well, I played the last chapter of Wiab too, and I wasn't very fond of it, but it's true that my main game is this one, Summer's Gone, and, even with aaaall the remakes and changes I still liking it. I know we could speak about SG watching the work he has donde with Wiab, but I don't think a "bad" chapter on one game could implies a bad chapter in the other. I have not seen any game with all seasons being good, there is always a bad season or chapter.

I don't think this new chapter-chapters are going to be bad. The guy is talented, just watching the renders in the game I can appreciate his work, but this new season is going to be absolutely important for him, the las rework pissed of a lot of people (maybe me too, even if I understand the reason), and he made a promise some time ago and I'm not going to forget it. This season two it's going to make us happy, because it's supossely to have sex scenes, maybe not SEX, but oral and stuff, if he is a man of his word, must have some of those.


Ocean could try to sell this with a 16+ rating, but the thing is, he promised with the last rework that this new season would include sex scenes. I still believe in that.

One of his ways to calm people down after the rework — when he deleted the bath scene with Nami — was by saying that the good stuff would come in this season, that it would be more mature and all that...
I know the game is about healing, but a promise is a promise. He can throw away the release dates, but this is important.



Yep, for me too. Seems good content.

I suppose he is not going to release the three chapters at the same time right? I mean, after all this time waiting it would be good but, if he is intelligent he could release one chapter each month, or something.

Anyway I don't want to give him ideas , if he releases three chapters at once better.

I'll leave alone speculations about how WiaB carries into this until we'v seen the next 3 chapters. There's scenes with Katie, so we'll hear more about her. Hopefully we get the Ayua fight scene, but if not, there's still heaps of scenes with her, I suspect we'll find out more. Emilio is still on Nika's radar for info, so the connections to WiaB will make some sense. How well Ocean connects the two games...well, we'll see. He might keep that stuff at arms length for a while to keep SG focused on Nika's trauma and the the healing theme. I think that would be wise, as he can't guarantee that every SG play will want to play WiaB.

As far as sex scenes, well this season is I think going to be 8 chapters? Someone will know. So I doubt there will be much in the first 3. The pacing would be wrong - Nika gos from no boner to raging hormones in a day? We've already seen teaser renders of Nika and Nami, so there will be that scene, but if there's much more than women trying to get a rise out of NIka in the first 3 chapters, I really don't know. Over the course of the season, I suspect we'll have a bunch of things, but I doubt we'll get any actual sex, mainly just 18+ lewd acts, rather than 16+ innuendo.

The release as far as I can tell will be 3 chapters, with each following chapter released as DLC on Steam. I think Ocean knows not to draw it out by dividing it into 3 releases - if he was going to do that, we should've had S2 Ch1 10 months ago and I'm sure people will let him know that.

Then I don't understand why the hell this is still AVN and not some variation of a "game for teens".

In this case, he should switch to the genre of ordinary short stories/novel and not f&ck people's brains for years. He understands perfectly well what kind of audience he has and what they expect. This does not mean that we are here just for one hand, but the genre implies the presence of such content.

I think he’s going to try to get the lowest possible age rating in each country to reach a larger audience. So I’m not sure he’ll take the risk of making something in the adult visual novel category. Otherwise, the audience from the first season might end up being unable to play the second one, since in Brazil his game is rated 14+.

We all know where we can download such games. From the obvious.

If he wants to capture a “BIG” audience by lowering the rating and cutting out everything “adult”, then this person needs to have his head treated. I heard something about Chinese game developers and their love for children's age ratings. Well, 12+. So, most of the audience playing their games with such a rating is 30 years old on average.

Children and teenagers are not able to pay. If he's doing this, then he's doing absolute bullshit.

He can do what some other games do, release the 18+ content as a DLC. That way, he can still publish his game in restricted markets, and players over 18 can download that DLC.

If you release DLC with 18+ content, the game itself will receive exactly the same. I don’t remember AVN games in which pieces of scenes/text/plot were literally cut out, right from the middle, and added as separate DLC for 20 bucks under the guise of “new gaming experience”.

Yes, it's all his business and his game. This is a sad moment. I'm sure that game will become... Softer, as it were. Sh&t for children? In this version. In this case, this is literally a different genre and this topic can be labeled “abandoned”.

And I feel the opposite, because he's turned virtually every other one into a mega-titty monstrosity. That might work for someone who hasn't had experience with real tits in hand before, but it's tiring and grotesque at such a degree.

Plenty of false suppositions in that post, buddy.

My god, you guys are okay ? Like yeah, not fan of anime sized titties and I like the meme of Ocean turn every character a ballon or a greek god but like grotesque ? People like Mila exist, I agree that Mila had awfull models in S1 but Mila is not a horny teenager dream, women with big breast exist, and Ch5 Mila is hardly grotesque or unbelieavable. Same goes with the aurelas I can't understand this tread fixiation on them, yeah some people get a bigger aurela and Ocean seems found of them but what is the deal like having a "too" big aurela is like a sin ? I understand prefereces and I sure has hell have mines, is not like I even disagree, but the level of obssession that I see here sometimes scares me.

It's strange to hear this from someone who lives on a porn site forum.

There's nothing strange about the fact that I like a good game, Alex. You're not here for pornography either .... you have other things you want to do.

Ocean wrote that he wants to sell Season 2 on Steam with a 16+ rating. This means there will be no sex scenes in the game.

Any source on that? I only recall 16+ being mentioned with regards to S1.

Alex can never give sources for anything 'he claims'....
