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

[Terminator_26F]

I was going to give 10, uh, 5 stars to this VN but I take one off because of the MC's face, or rather his hair. Would he have put his fingers in a 400V outlet? Would he have a micro tornado above his head that follows him constantly? How does he comb his hair (or not) in the morning when he wakes up? In other NVs, MCs look a lot more believable and a lot less wacky. Why does the DEV massacre this poor MC, who is otherwise very well made of himself? Why don't the females around him shear him while he sleeps? DEV, please, without styling him like a Marine, give him a haircut that isn't so ridiculous ...

so i am assuming your kink is Male MC hair style? no kink shaming just confirming because if you think this MC hair is bad you should check out the Elvis the pelvis style in where it all began!

Which game is last photo from ?

"Callisto" from Xavster, nice, pleasant and funny game, with a bunch of pretty women (some very exotic) and a MC with "normal" hairs. Very good!
You will also recognize the MCs (with normal hairs) of "Personal Trainer", "Dusklight Manor", "Chasing Sunsets" and "Glimpses of the Past" . All excellent VNs !!!

Ocean isn't a fan of MC's hair either, but there aren't many options for male hair.

What about the one's you posted?
Well they look good, but he wants to animate his hair, which is not possible with small hair like the one's you posted, so the Dragon Ball Z like hair will have to do until season 2, where he's going to create new hairstyle in Blender.

Great game. I always have a thing for redhead and cute girl so it should be logical Nami is my favorite character but for some reason I end up liking Bella even more. I choose go to the Gym with Bella without a second thought.

I noticed that the DEV has a weakness for blowing hair, which is understandable for Bella's but which weighs on poor MC's allure. Alright, I'm going to wait for season 2 and the remodel with Blender ...

You will say that I am annoying but there is one more thing that still bothers me: the scars of the characters. They are red as if they were still pissing the blood while obviously the scars are closed and healed. They must be deep (or raised) and barely lighter than the neighboring skin.

You would be surprised just how weird and extreme scars can be. If you want an extreme example, search for keloid.

In the end, though, not everything is done for realistic reasons. I can guarantee there does not exist any college in which absolutely all girls look as amazing as that. Some things are there just for aesthetic reasons. Not saying her scar is not story important, I mean the shape and color does not need to be realistic as long as it fits the story.

 

[Ayhsel]

Bella is way out of your league

I'd rather live in a world of fantasy!

I found this VN more interesting than BaDik

Same here man. BaDIK was my first AVN game and I thought it had spoiled me cuz the quality is way higher than other games, until I found Summer's Gone.

Unpopular opinion here: Badik is not interesting. Quality is impressive, but writing is really average at best.

His other novel, though, I think is a must read for everyone. Not every novel has the ability to affect readers as much.

oh my god! Acting lessons is first VN i ever played.maaan this game mentally traumatized me. i was in depression for 1 week

That means it is good! if a story can affect you so much, the developer did a great job.

I am really clueless about many things related to SG, so plz excuse me.

-How frequently does Ocean release new ch for SG?
-Are the chapters still being reworked? If yes then till how many chapters?
-Does he do a weekly update?

And are all the students in MC's class freshman? Jeff, Nadia, Ayua and Bella know way too much about the college.

 

[Ayhsel]

Nothing to apologize. We were all newbies one.

-How frequently does Ocean release new ch for SG?

Chapter 2 to 3 took a year. Chapter 3 to 3.5 took around 7 months. But hard to predict speed to come as hardware got better but also his need to improve for quality and his experience. Soo... we'll see.

-Are the chapters still being reworked? If yes then till how many chapters?

The rework is going very slowly for the first chapter. My understanding is that chapter 2 will be kept as it is. But as with everything, there may be needed some changes down the line. He is trying to focus for a season 1 release at the end of chapter 5.

-Does he do a weekly update?

If you mean info, then not that often. Once a month for sure, sometimes more.
If you mean the game update: (sorry, could not help myself)

And are all the students in MC's class freshman? Jeff, Nadia, Ayua and Bella know way too much about the college.

Not sure about this one to said anything useful.

Hottest and most passionate kiss in all AVNs hands down

 

[crabsinthekitchen]

I've actually been thinking about the same thing some time ago. It's understandable that they knew each other from before college, but everyone except MC, Nami, Victoria and Sonya seems to know about college stuff on Day 1

 

[McCummings]

Anyone got them saves?

After fifteen years in the French special forces (Foreign Legion), I can tell you that I have seen some more impressive than the others. But I agree with you. If these scars hold special significance for the game, perhaps the DEV wanted to make them more gory than realistic. But they remain a little disturbing, especially on a pretty young girl ...

I actually love the effect it gives on Sasha. Of course, it can impress and the scar itself is hideous, but in such a perfect face, it gives the image of a goddess of War. That and her mysterious approach makes her irresistible.

 

[ATN Develop]

Bella really ? i failed you my padwan if that is your pick!

no, thats what makes this MC so relatable!

come on its the zero fucks given attitude that come with a big dick energy!

now if you are into the story building part of your AVN growth i would suggest love of magic, intertwined and ofc when you feel mentally prepared acting lessons and the author and probably Avalon but those last 3 is only for when you are mentally ready!

And yea you forgot one game...leap of faith, especially the new 6th chapter
