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

[olololo1234]

I am very afraid that you are right, the character development is very well established and could take a long time, taking into account that it may have different routes for the choice of each girl. That and the fact that each update takes more than 6 months to appear makes me think that eventually the game will be abandoned, it's a shame because it is the game that I liked the most of all that I have played.

Nah. The Dev likes what he is doing. If you like the game, you should not say such shings. Everything will be fine.
The problem is that he does not get as much support as he should have. There are devs out there, who do a lousy job and still have thousands of supporters.

And there are teams of devs, who have thousands of supporters and create monthly updates.

So, I really do not understand why people are whining about the update while they can play the update for free. And it's really great.
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Did you read the books at all? Because this is jokingly wrong in so many instances...

Yes and the Hobbiton introduction while necessary was too long and boring imo. Anyway we are here to talk about Summer's Gone not about JRRTolkien books.
I love some of the models; Nadia, Vic, Bella, Bella's mom...Really great models. Now think abut the update, some characters like Victoria and Maja aren't even around. It's gonna be like this from now on? One chapter for each girl? How many girls are there? Even the ones in the chapter aren't getting much. Nami has been half naked and dry humping the MC since day one, What's new in Chapter 4 for her? Not enough imo.

There is no such thing. This is capitalism. You get what the market thinks you should get.

And it's a fact that Patreon growth is related to development pace. If by the time of your next update, a good chunk of your target audience has forgotten your game even existed, how can you expect a healthy growth? It's not quantum mechanics.

If everything stays the way it is... support under 1k patreons and all. Ocean will still try to improve... Have a little patience, at least until steam release... You, maybe unintentionally, are spreading negativity with your comments.

Ah, but what about Patreons? should they get to give feedback? or should it all just be circlejerking and only praise on here?
Why even have a forum if it will only be for religiously defended praise of the dev as if they can do no wrong. That shit gets old and stagnant.

I signed up as a Patreon yesterday but it doesn't mean I will act like a crazed fanboy. Too long in the tooth to act like that.

I cannot believe people on here want only glowing feedback. Jesus... in other words accept everything you are given and not talk about what you do not like.

It's like that adoring fan in Elder Scrolls Oblivion...."By Azura! By Azura!"

Walkthrough?

 

[dan9000]

Do i really need to start the game over again?

 

[olololo1234]

it has been 8 months since the last update and he releases a beta version. Then imagine he is reworking a chapter of a rework version of game. I wonder how can we support some devs if all they do is rework the rework and never move forward. 8 months for a beta version is a little funny. And someone said they changed the design of my favorite character...

What are you talking about. It's been the biggest update so far. Sure, it would be great, if the updates would come out every 4 months. But you can’t say, that the dev is not doing a good job.

 

[Damien8d]

Btw if you can get yourself to not play the Bella route (I know almost impossible) then you're in for a hilarious scene at the beginning of the update. (and a huge cast of potential new LIs)

BADIK... How long is the update cycle for this game? How much support? Greed is the answer... BADIK could be developed a hell lot faster! So... not always.

I try to give feedback from my point of view. Negative feedback? It can be at times but that's necessary for the dev too.
If everyone here just praise the game the dev might think he's doig a perfect job and that's not true.

I havent played yet to be honest. I just don't like that it comes as "beta" after 8 months. And the fact that he will start to rework the rework. Like, he is spending time reworking the rework when he could be moving forward. That is my opinion.

 

[olololo1234]

2500-3000 renders update wasted on the useless tabletop game and hair animations. Holy...Some girls are cute but man.
Who needs 4 chapters of teenage impotence and over the top drama?

Don't play this game, if you do not like it.

Sorry, but read your last 10 posts. Full of sarcasm and negativ implications. I don't want to discuss this any further. Self awareness is important in written arguments. You can not simply "talk" your way out of it.

While long, it's still faster than this. And with more content offered. And with a good game already completed (in a sensible amount of time) under their belt. That wasn't plagued by delays and reworks. The result? A good starting Patreon base for your next project that allows you to jumpstart the process. That's how it works.

To be fair, it might as well be quantum mechanics for some, I even see the same mistake often been done by big companies. Release a new 8-episode show that gets hype for its quality. Then proceed to kill any momentum with huge 2 year shooting cycles because the service isn't willing to invest in shortening them, while maintaining quality. And the show eventually gets cancelled 2-3 seasons in, with the small dedicated fanbase that has remained bitching about the fact.

Balancing creativity with moneymaking is admitedly not easy. You have to know when to cut corners and when to risk pouring some more money to hopefully get more back.
