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

[KhamulTG81]

Honestly I didn't want to write anything initially because I don't support this game, haven't played it...

Prioritize, is it story? is it cinema? is it music? is it character development?

... so you built your opinion about the def and the game based on what? ...comments within this thread? Are you serious? And on top of that you judge Oceans character without knowing any relevant detail about what drives his thought process much less decission making?

Don't put Ocean in the same basket with other defs ffs!


Edit: Since the thread was "cleaned" the toxidity against the def increased and is destroying the harmony we once had here!

Nice catch, i wasn't aware of this scene anymore. I am so free and steal this for totally not ulterior motives ...

" If it wasn't for the extensive TBT session, the update would've been out in Feb. "

Just yikes...

Just yikes...

Ya hope this TBT thing ends up being awesome, otherwise the juice may not be worth the squeeze. The TBT games were terrible in Being A DIK, IMO. I'm praying it's a lot better in this one.

Lmao best answer ever.

Some music can give your game an extra boost but it can be a bad idea too. Many players don't even play games with sound, there have been several pols about it in the past. And don't forget not everyone is into the same music, so you can be going that extra mile for nothing.
Now, paying 20k bucks for visual novel music is just I mean, there are Royalties free music in the net and even if you don't find anything appealing to you there you can make something like: Chapter 1 Wake up and smell the Coffee, Chapter 2 Lean on Me and so on. Players can play that music in the background if they want and nobody can sue you for it.

Tbh I could be one of those who once said "I don't play with music on" but I have been playing adult games for 5 years now, do you know how "music" was -and still is in some games- back in the days? a fucking loop with music from a mall center I couldn't stand it.

Now games with a tracklist that adapts to the scenes is fucking amazing. And I am not the biggest fan of ambient sound and stuff but still is a nice touch. Wouldn't pay 20k for it but I respect it, and it would boost Oceanslab's confidence while working for sure.

So in resume, music from a mall centers and/or moans from porn it's asound off. A good tracklist that adapts to the scene BIG YES!

SAY AGAIN?
In a scene where Nami wants to punch the sh.. out of Bella because she thought "the bitch" hurt MC, this song starts playing...

...now imagine the game would be full of awesome songs like this... 100% worth it just for the immersion alone. If he is able to find low cost "treasures" (! pleb music played on radio or TV) it shouldn't be that expensive.

BTW. Ocean has great taste in music!

The games with perfectly synced music and great dialogues are better than high quality renders and animation.when I put a song from background the lyrics disturbs my reading and in game songs sometimes gives nostalgic feelings.

So Nami and the MC are no longer siblings but adoptive siblings?

it's so awesome that it is cut in half /s

 

[`Ray`]

So Nami and the MC are no longer siblings

They never were in the first place.

but adoptive siblings?

Yes. Nojiko adopted both of them at a young age.

They aren't blood-related if I am correct.

 

[`Ray`]

No offense but being cut in half doesn't necessarily mean that it will be awesome.

The main reason why it was cut into half was that it is too long (1700 Lines)

 

[JaZy2]

I am quite curious about one thing, when did Ocean start reworking previous chapters? Like did he start after he released a X update?

 

[sockpowder]

i finished the game and here is my first impressions:

the sexual tension is off the roof but mc aint having it LUL

 

[Meushi]

So Nami and the MC are no longer siblings but adoptive siblings?

Not in the Patreon version, they don't permit incest & Nami is one of the main love interests. You need to use the patch to restore the original relationships.

They never were in the first place.

Yes they were, prior to Ch 3 MC & Nami were biological siblings, Maja & Vic were siblings, the missing person Bella is torn up about was her sister. Like many devs, Oceanlab retconned his game to comply with Patreon's revised terms.

 

[mojococo]

I could be misremembering but didn't Ocean said that the sibling thing was not canon?

 

[TheVengefulOne]

Yes. Nojiko adopted both of them at a young age.

They aren't blood-related if I am correct.

Even with the IC patch I mean.
