sorry i replied a bit late, can i please have the saves at both beginning of Ch 3 and at the end of 3.5? cos i can only remember I finished mine at the gym i guess? I have too open it to ring the bell. cheers mateSure, do you care at what point the game is during the save? I have a few from my playthrough yesterday if you have a preference. Basically one at the beginning of Ch 2, 3, or at the end of 3.5?
Eh, as you said in your earlier post, it's relative. While I think the dev certainly cranks out the renders (and he should, he has like 10 3090s, lol), 4-5 months is still a lengthy stretch of time to wait for a single chapter of anything.
hah gotcha - I have sigs turned off, sorry. Great choice, she is presently at the top of my list as well.She is in my signature, where she claimed me... I am eternally hers..
Bella.
Sure no problem - I'm attaching 3 saves for you, check 'em out, hopefully they are helpful.sorry i replied a bit late, can i please have the saves at both beginning of Ch 3 and at the end of 3.5? cos i can only remember I finished mine at the gym i guess?

I expect nothing less from the leader of Team Sashai have chosen to fight bring it on our battle will be legendary!
I'm actually from a perfect timeline where people in this site read porn VNs for the story and skip through the sex scenes.My guy from an alternate timeline where Ocean only releases sex scenes in each episode and the story goes nowhere.
I think ocean has stated that he rewrote some parts during story-boarding because the story was too dark, I can't remember the specific post but I hope someone links it, or maybe I was just imagining stuff.So on a side topic for everyone here - how dark do you think this story is going to get?
I think so but I have this feeling she won't be anywhere near our protagonist; it makes sense storywise and Bella already hogged majority of the first few hours of the game, we need screentime for other girls too and if we ever see Bella in ch4, I bet it's going to be just her moping in her bed.Do we have a chance to see Bella in chapter 4 ?
blood and mayhem the taste of iron in one´s mouth the heat of our skin against our stout Armour the clashing of rough swords and spear against the shield wall, that beautiful sound of battle and steel and the smell of sweat blood shit and piss as battle is joined as true man prove their mettle and i see your little boys shit themselves as they run awayI expect nothing less from the leader of Team Sasha
you created team Sasha from nothing
and all by yourself very impressive
team Sasha is one of the strongest teams
but team Bella is the strongest and team Bella is infinite
but still, it took a lot of courage to stand up against Team Bella
you have my respect Warscared When Team Bella is done, half of the teams will still be alive. I hope they remember you.
yip yip, ah hah! that is Summer's Gone all rightWhat the fuck. WHAT. THE. FUCKING. AND ITS HISTORICAL BACKGROUND. FUCK. IS THIS GAME DOING TO ME. I'm crying whilst writing this. I don't usually cry, but this game, of which I haven't even finished and will try not to but will anyway since I don't want it to end, is genuinely keeping me on my toes so much more than even DIK. Now I wouldn't compare them a whole lot because DIK is more realistic, but its like, this game is making me come up with questions and answers to shit I thought about for a long time. LIKE WHAT THE FUCK. EVERYONE IN THIS GOD DAMN GAME HAS CHARACTER. AWFUL BACKGROUND STORY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. AND THE WORST IS THAT IT JUST MIGHT MIMIC REALITY.
This game fucked me up so hard in the fact that it made me realize just how complicated people are. Shit, I ain't no middle class citizen that never had a hardship in his life, nor am I the most agreeable person, but fuck me if I'm not on the border of just emotional explosion through this roller coaster. Like everyone has had some hardship. Protag. Nami. Bella. Mila. VICTORIA BLESS HER PURE HEART. I don't even know much about Sasha, but she's just reeks of hurt. Almost everyone seems in one way or another truly human, simply because this guy Ocean decided to make it a tragedy for everyone. I spent a whole day during work trying to argue with myself that it can't be that everyone around me has had some hard shit through life. But its crystal clear as to what that answer is. Imagine that. I was single-handedly taught a super life lesson from a fucking adult game, because Ocean just made such... shit, I'm yet again crying just thinking about Bella or Nami, anyone. I honestly can see why in the past post people like to devote themselves to the characters; its true quality, just like DIK, to pinge my conscience on the fact that I realize in a play-through I'd have to man up and decide who it is protag should get with, because harems are a fantasy, and unless Ocean feels like being a ascended godly writer and make it possible, I have to face the stage. I wouldn't even hold it against him, how could I or you? The more I thought about it, humans are damn complicated beyond belief, and loving someone is peering into that star, into its core, and really actually inhale all the information you'd previously ignore just so you can mentally handle the reality of that person. I am seriously considering my view on each passing by human, and my friends, and the faces I remember in my life. All the misery, all the anguish. And yet we're all here, going out, interacting, and staying strong. Its fucking mind blowing. I am rambling so much, just to cope with just how brilliant this game is. I thought it would've been the sleeper version of DIK. But no, its something completely different, and I whole heartedly respect it for what it is.
Thank you, Ocean, and thank you Summer's gone, you've given me a god damn epiphany. And you as well for reading all this way.
Thx, very happy to hear that he throttled back the darkness level. I don't mind some dark stuff because after all we have to have some hurdles for the protagonists to overcome in the story, but ya I don't enjoy games fully if I end up being emotionally devastated.I think ocean has stated that he rewrote some parts during story-boarding because the story was too dark, I can't remember the specific post but I hope someone links it, or maybe I was just imagining stuff.
I think the story will have elements of grim dark and whatnot but not entirely depressing and moody.
Ya that's what I'm curious to see; how distant Ocean writes Bella to be - she won't be able to get too far unless she avoids the house during MC's therapy sessions and in school they are still working on that project together even though MC asked if they could be split up and Marla denied him. It's funny too as there will be rumors swirling around that they are together like we hear from those bitchy chicks in the restroom if the player chooses to touch Victoria's hand, lol. She won't know how to handle those rumors, and they will probably piss her off - would be funny if Ocean had a scene where her closer friends ask her about being her bridesmaid, lol - she'll probably punch them.I think so but I have this feeling she won't be anywhere near our protagonist; it makes sense storywise and Bella already hogged majority of the first few hours of the game, we need screentime for other girls too and if we ever see Bella in ch4, I bet it's going to be just her moping in her bed.
Honestly, I often get really giddy and excited and just so emotionally invested in games that are genuinely good like this dik, and delucas. And for good reason! And yet Summer's Gone just manages to do everything else upside down: where games would offer you at times aesthetic choices, for the sake of immersion, that wouldn't actually count for Jack, are non existent in this game. Every damn decision, every crossroad, has a point. And better yet, it doesn't beat around the bush about it. Sure you can speed run the game in like 1 hour, but it sure stretches to 4-6 simply by the fact I'm enjoying the story and I'm taking my time thinking the decisions more thoroughly than what I'd think about my dinner. Game has me royally fucked in that it's just given me this enjoyment of this story. But! I will give one hilarious critique!: As funny as I find it, ocean's gotta do something about the text box during cutscenes, because it's just so funny to me to have there quality scenes only for the immersion to be broken by the god damn text box. Oh and also! The presentation of the the thing is kinda awful, like I thought I was gonna read some generic renpy story that is 3 clicks away from being untouched, but 5 minutes in and it's a fucking gem.yip yip, ah hah! that is Summer's Gone all right
congratulations my brother
but I'm afraid once you have experienced the joy that is Summer's Gone there is no going back for you now
your one of us now
one of us

My vision with SG has changed quite a bit from 2020 to now.
Back then SG was planned to be a lot darker.
I did cut down on the "real" dark stuff to not make the game too bloated and because I don't stand behind it anymore. (The vision of all games has changed quite a bit. (WiAB, SG, etc.))
MC is an asshole, but he is not a totally fucked up psycho.
The game is about healing.
But still, the MC will never become a real wholesome nice boy. That's just not him.
And about harems.
There'll never be a scenario where you're with more than two girls at the same time that are aware of each other.
The only thing this game will feature is triangles.
And those don't come without their drawbacks.
Example: Girl A feels left out or feels like she doesn't get as much attention as Girl B.
Some of them would never do a triangle in the first place. (Just like you probably wouldn't want to share her.)
The only harem that can happen is during a medieval board game scenario. (DND sessions with Nadia.)
Thank you!"The game is about healing."

That's what art does to you. Summer's Gone is meant to be much more than a sex game, but rather a visual novel with adult elements. It's quite literally a prototype of its kind on this side of the internet. I will actually have to disagree about BADIK being more realistic. Both of these AVNs do a wonderful job of immersing you into their world and taking you on a rollercoaster throughout their stories(you're hooked on the story basically). However, I can actually relate to the female characters from Summer's Gone. You can actually find women like the girls from Summer's Gone out in the real world. I was almost exactly like Bella when I was her age, and that's scary considering she doesn't exist. But you'd be very hard-pressed to find someone like Jill in the real world. As far as women go, Oceans has done a much better job of writing them lol. But this, of course, is just my take on itWhat the fuck. WHAT. THE. FUCKING. AND ITS HISTORICAL BACKGROUND. FUCK.

No, Bella's not the Queen anymore... She's the freaking multiverse's Goddess now. The Queen now is Sasha, The Warrior Queen.She is in my signature, where she claimed me... I am eternally hers..
Bella.
In all threads!! She is the multiverse's Queen.
Agreed - I've got a good chunk of hours in BaDik and find it quite fun, but IMO, at least so far, SG one-ups it in the romance and relationship development department. This dev seems to do a better job with certain things in the scenes; things like subtle facial expressions / reactions, hand placement and movement catch my attention far more, along with the scenes and dialogue being longer / better developed in order to convey a lot more substance.That's what art does to you.
