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

[Freki.g]

Not as easy as it sounds.

1. You need to find someone who you can trust. This person would have access to private information, the future story and all character .duf files.
Legal action if something goes south is very hard if you're both living in different countries.

2. The artist needs to match my style and as I improve my skills, so must he.

3. An artist that ticks point 2 expects to be paid decently. And currently, I can't afford this.


It's one of my goals to get another artist or two onboard but I doubt this will happen with Daz.
Blender is a much bigger market for freelancers.







And thanks for opening that wound again. ):

Good boy Kvothe.

I think this novel is one of the best here and also the illustrative art, however I am of the opinion that a project that develops with updates so distant in time sooner or later loses interest and even more if it lacks a reference for the completion.
Everyone does what he believes but, I remain of the opinion that this is not the way to work for a professional with such skills that he chooses this type of business.

Completely understand you mate, was just some wishful thinking on my part.

Unfortunately I just don't see how one person can finish a project of this magnitude and ambition before at least the turn of the decade. Don't want to put you down or anything, the work you're doing is absolutely amazing, just kinda has those "genius guy building a spaceship in his garage" vibes.

Wish you the best of luck, of course. Really love what you've done so far. Stay strong!

rogue anti-hero who fucks everyone over and leaves them to die and runs away with the tessarac or whatever mcguffin they are out to get! at least thats what i am doing to teach that bitch not to leave me stranded in a female lockerroom

actually i will not back stab her and kill her myself cause it was a female locker room!

Also every dude saw the MC running to the female locker room when they meet nami and do not see the MC Jeff and Cody will go to the lockerroom where jeff will save the MC and Cody will perv out by placing cameras in the girls locker room!

yeah Warscared is right I don't really see the MC being a bard type wait wait wait wait you would allow Cody to perv out and place cameras in the girls locker room! and see Sasha naked

I mean Sasha is not my girl


but if anybody tried to perv out and spy on my Bella

I would kill them and their entire family
View attachment 1579961

boys will be boys if you try and stop nature you will be caught and go to jail and Bella will have to live without you!

as long as they just look who am i to prevent others from basking on Sasha´s beauty?

to try to stop them is like trying to stop a flood with your bare hands in the end you either end up buried or drowned none of those options would be pleasing to Sasha since she would be deprived of my enduring warm and loving embrace!
Although i suspect Bella wouldn´t miss yours for long...

if you are wondering what or why she said it i can not be of better help she wasn´t making much sense between all the gurgling and spit in her mouth as she gobbled my dick!

Faith in my language is not adequate to circumstance, in this case your dedication in my vocabulary is defined like this: formal obedience.

You'd make a really good fanatic who has insecurities and a catchphrase like ' I'm not insecure...but Warscarred is '...

 

[Pravsha]

I hope this year Ocean will buy really good hardware (mainly top video cards). It'll solve one of his main problems and speed up SG development, I suppose

I guess the problem is not so much the hardware, but the large number of details in each chapter. Ocean makes approximately 200 images per month. If desired, one chapter can fit into 800 images. In this case, we will get 3 chapters per year, and with new hardware, maybe even 4. But for this he need to abandon long scenes of basketball matches with 400 images and board games.

you're goddamn right I'm insecure you try being in love with the perfect woman

waking up every morning next to this goddess

just lying there thinking how beautiful your babies are going to look like and knowing you're not good enough for her

stay strong brother, remember she may look like a perfect woman, but she doesn't behave like one, she has defects and issues just as we do, its what makes us human.

i did not get it!

yes we all have insecurities and we deal with them the best we can! in my case we bludgeon them to death and cry out "want another go at it? i will not be bent, i will not be cuddled and i will not be persuaded into submission i will fight for every inch ... of my dick down your ass! that`s how i treat life and does not matter how much she struggles she will take every inch of my cock! she fucked me over enough as it stands i will take back what she took from me and return to her tenfold all the misery and hardship!

Btw did a re-start yesterday, and is it just me or does it feel less smooth, for example the new parts of the car crash scene made the "wouldn't it be easier to just put you down" comes out differently without the "A simple Cut" "Right here", without it the gun part seems misplaced.

To me the first seems much more from someone that is crazy enough to do it, the second version seems too vague and "what if" and not an actual threat to her life. (i am not sure how i feel about the prolonged hand holding) The rest of the scene feels right, though.
If the idea is to have a less deranged mc then the reaction to him also needed to change.


Another is nami being disappointed with us not having brought her rolls, i fell its also not as good as the original, originally she goes away from the mc with an exaggerated but cute "pose" in the new one she places her arm in the table.

really like the rest of the scene after this though.

As he wakes up after the nightmare, really early also doesn't work as well, in the original we find nojiko, cleaning some dishes/making breakfast, wearing a kimono/ robe, this changed to her sitting on the counter top in her underware, which doesn't make any sense, feels like "Real scene -> Porn logic"

TL;DR - quality of renders in rework is much better, while content (story, posing, angles, dialogues) became worse.
And we lost Pajama Nami.

 

[Train of Thought]

For anyone concerned about the release schedule!

Ch1 was made by an unexperienced dev, it took a lot of him to be able to work towards Ch2 as he had a lot of time issues.

But now that Ocean has taken the wheel, we are definetly looking at a more constant release schedule instead of 7 months loke we waited last time, we are looking at 2 to maximum 3 months per chapter! Its all about having faith (and of course a bit of support so the dev can improve his hardware) and boom! We have an amazing game with an amazing story!

Exactly 2 years ago
This definitely didn't age well...

Since the Ocean and the good people of this island have established that our Emo MC doesn't have any sociopathic traits...letting him behave like one wasn't an option.

In the rework, as you can see , he was just wondering if it would be best to put her down to stop her suffering from her inevitable painful reality, that's it and after the gun scene, he put her into a recovery position unlike the original in which he was literally giving out suggestions like...' A simple cut...right here '...THAT'S NOT MY MC.

 

[Warscared]

well you know what they say war and death go hand-in-hand

kissing in a tree loosing each other in each others eyes, as the bodies of the carnage they created in their love making rot away in the background, between the smoke and the ashes of the burned houses and ashen fields!

such a romantic setting makes my trigger finger all tingly! hiiiihihi

And we lost Pajama Nami.

yeah pajama Nami be best Nami!

but it was mine! i can not identify with this new pussy who lets himself be walked all over! why not keep both? let the players choose how edgy they wanna be!

That's not a flaw, it's intended dude. Can't make a decent Kubrick Stare with thin eyebrows. You know what's a Kubrick Stare right ? A shot where the character stares at the audience with a forward tilt. It implies that the character in question is pissed or fucking instable and the person he's looking is really screwed. Massive eyebrows make the stare looks deeper and eviler.

​

Demonstration :





See ? Totally intended.

 

[xinkala]

and then i raped her!

Wooh
calm your balls down man....

Ignoring what is the better MC for a moment, the reworked scene doesn't work because without the "simple cut here" part the teacher pulling out her gun doesn't make sense, if its supposed to be a less crazy mc then you also need to change people's reaction to him, aka no more gun, and maybe also no more police.

i agree 100%, the mc used to be quite the interesting character, and he lost some of that, but even still that last scene of 3.5 doesn't make sense even with this softer mc, it would be way to easy for him not to be locked (all he had to do is to push his arm and she wouldn't be able to lock it to the wall), and the foot part is even worse.
guess i will have to keep a copy of the older versions, instead of keeping the latest only as i usually do, because its very unlikely that he would change his mind.
