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

[Finain]

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.

Acting Lessons started in May of 2018 and finished in August of 2019. Where It All Began started in October of 2018 and finished in... Well, started again from the beginning in December of 2021. Good luck with that.

Being a DIK started in February of 2019 and is on chapter 8 (eight and a half with the interlude, I guess). Summer's Gone started in May of 2019 and is on chapter 4.

Apt comparison.

I know, I know...I'm about to trigger a lot of people, so sorry in advance.

I keep seeing...Bella, Bella, Bella... All I see is a mentally ill borderline psychopath that treats everyone that doesn't kiss her ass like shit. Proof that if you give even a crazy bitch money then all the gold diggers will come crawling out of the woodwork. Cuz you sure as hell ain't there for how she treats you, or literally the only thing you have left(Nami), so well.

Give me Mila any day over her. Hell, give me literally anyone else over that hot mess. Mila literally has a golden light shine out of her rear compared to that. (Insert Holy Golden light shining from big ole booty meme right here)

Don't get me wrong, I really love Oceanlab's game, but why he is kind of afraid to continuing and finishing his game?
I don't think he or even us need a rework of his old game, his skill is definitely getting better but it doesn't mean he should rework his old game, he will benefit more if he continuing his new contents, finishing it, planned and create much better planned new game, etc.

”cause summer is gone, dude. She is long gone. We need to lift ourselves outta the filth of despair.
Why revel in self pitty and degradation? Why the thumping on your own heart?
Move on already!

There has to be some upside to life, which we are not seeing any of right now.
So much set up for failure, guess this game will be wallowing in pain and agony rather than redemption.

Well, this is when Perfectionism is in the way of an Dev. Many times they'll look back to see what can be even more improved when they learn much new stuff.

Btw. It was an Great Update as always but to much time wasted into this SciFi Game thing.

I noticed, since a restart was required, that the young version of Summer vaguely resembles the adult Leah in the dev’s other game WIAB. So, I wonder if that is who Summer will look like if/when she reappears later.

However, who is the lady in black with the veil and cigarette holder who appears in background while at the bakery early in the game? Near as I can tell, she doesn’t resemble Leah…..

There are definite connections to Where it all began, as for how they are connected I am not sure yet.

Contrary to many people, I really enjoyed the chapter. I understand it took a long time to be released but the quality was really good and the amount of content was not bad for an update. But yeah, it can be a bit too short if you take into account how long has it been since last update.
But I enjoy the story a lot and also the characters. Renders are really good too.
I'm sure Ocean is improving in many things, and I'm also sure that from now on, updates will take less time to be released.
I just wanted to write this comment to thank Ocean for his work (maybe he won't ever read this but whatever).
P.S. Bella best girl.

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...

Consider that A Wife and Mother (The dev is probably one of the best artists around just a total douche at production or communication) just had a 140 render update that meant nothing to the story and it took 40+days, about 3.5 renders a day.

I am not too concerned if there is actual work and improvement being done. I do think that reworking should be held until after everything is complete. I appreciate the work of CheekyGimp and his team that their plan with Where the Heart Is focuses on post completion for the fixes/improvements (for the most part).

 

[FlyinginTime]

we'll be getting a proper chapter 4 after some time, right?

 

[Deleted member 3325933]

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.

So true!

 

[yangengqiu]

I like this game!And i also like where it all began.But i I think you'd better not develop two games at the same time.

 

[indio68]

are the game tags present already?? i've read that this game have nearly 0 sex content... any chance to have an update for where all began too?? damn reworks..

 

[rlduck]

I'm getting this a lot during his shower when Nami had to pee and now with Jeff after working out. Anyone else having these problems? thanks

 

[Anonimgambler]

I, sometimes, got "image not found". Is that intended or i downloaded a corrupted archive?

 

[TheVengefulOne]

It was. Felt randomly placed in the middle of story too. Don't know if it was a cheap way to extend content even more by stalling progression, or just a dev wanting to play with new toys (daz assets). Probably both.

Another popular game did something similar once but at the time it already had 4x the content this has. Certainly not something fitting for a game having 3 updates in 3-4 years....

Doubt it was cheap a way to extend content. And I think Ocean really enjoyed this considering the work he put into it.

However for regular people like myself it is simply too long. It could have been shorter or not in the game and the update would have been better in my opinion.

In the other popular game you are referring to, it works because it's silly and most of the content in that game is silly and fun. And was much more complex than here.

For me personally, it feels like it's not in line with the tone of Ocean's game, at least not yet.
