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

[Fortuna ღ]

So I'd played through SG last week, and I'll admit... any editor worth their salt would find many things wrong with SG. What's the name of "the college"? Why are so many places and areas germanic or slavic in nature/name(obvious answer, but it's still an area that requires fixing and should not become a constant... I mean this game is supposed to take place in New York)?

We just left the introductory phase... that along with my favor in this game are the only reasons why I was not harsher with my earlier critiques and ratings. The dialogue needs immediate attention, and that should be addressed before anything else. "I am Coach Stahl" & "I am Coach Cindy" can be changed to "I'm Coach Stahl" & "I'm Coach Cindy". Simple things like that would make this game much easier to read through and follow in regards to its story. There's a whole list of other things wrong that need improvement, but I understand the need for prioritization right now. Oceans has a lot on his plate, and many of these solutions are quite costly and time-consuming. But, like with all business ventures, sometimes you have to invest in your product in order to meet profitable returns.

Even with all of its flaws, it's still better than the majority of games on F95(its story at least). It has the potential to be one of the best adult stories on this website, and that says a lot about both SG and F95. Anyway, I've rambled on enough. I just hope that things work out for this game in the future ღ

Why can't I play Chapter 4? I finished Chapter 3 and it says "save here" and "The end of Chapter 4". How can I fix this?

I apologize for the early people if I offended or offended someone. And I will forgive you for the mats.Bombed and burned perdak.
I read the comments and I fully understand those who are a fan or who like Summer, and before, yes, the game was top 1 for me. and unsubscribing on patreon.
Let's start with Mr. Oceanlab developer. I was completely disappointed in him. It all started with the patreon and the removal of incest-related content. Okay, just renaming Nami into a friend, Najiko from a foster mother into a stepmother, and sisters into girlfriends. But this is hell with him, but he deleted the whole scene is what we know, maybe something else was deleted there. It's one thing to rename another scene deletion. I can immediately throw in examples of developers and their games where there is incest and so on, and they are bitch on Patreon and quietly lie there. And the most interesting thing is that these developers have many times more cartridges and money. Dots? Turn on incest off in the settings, or at the very beginning ask how the player wants to play, or what's the problem with uploading a patch along with the game? I would ask Oceanlab and if Patreon and Steam generally ban 18+ content what then?
But the thing that finished me off the most was the very beginning of Chapter 4, namely the fact that the developer decided that Bella and the main character could not be together. It was not the player who decided, but the developer chose the bitch. like in films or in the series “From Love to Hate is One Step.” With Bella, everything was the other way around, from hatred to love, one step. , I like Bella and I fall in love with her ”You have time to experience a whole range of emotions and then you“ fuck you fucking freak in the snout. And then I just didn’t really read through the beta 4 chapters. And you know, I just finished going through the DLC just this week before that, I didn’t play it for at least a year, but in fact it’s more like a half. And after a dozen hours spent in it, I understand that now DLC is top 1 for me. Well, the fact that I will not return to Summer .Well, I'm not going to go through the full version of Chapter 4. I'm not afraid that my ass will burn, but that I'll be disappointed in the game along with the developer.So I have at least pleasant memories of Summer and Bella.
Another thing that infuriates is one chapter a year. Bitch fucking one chapter a year. And why is it taking so long? tell me some normal developers who are during the active development of the game when people are waiting for updates, the continuation of the plot (and what happened to Summer) and at that time he is redoing the first chapter. And the main thing is that he also has another game and he is going to redo it too. Plus, he will redo the second chapter, and I don’t know if my intuition tells me that later the third and fourth chapters will go into processing. And now let's look at how adequate developers do it. The game is over or in between this game and the next, or due to lack of inspiration or something else, and then the developer can remaster or remake the game. Then yes, you can justify the front of the chapters.
You know, the audience on patreon is extremely patient GIM for this example, people have been waiting for years to see Sofa naked. But Steam is not so smooth there, there is an extremely sophisticated audience.

The problem wasn't incest, he had to temporarily remove the scene because it showed real porn and that raised copyright issues. The scene will probably be reintroduced when he'll rework ch2 after ch4.5.

But the thing that finished me off the most was the very beginning of Chapter 4, namely the fact that the developer decided that Bella and the main character could not be together. It was not the player who decided, but the developer chose the bitch.

Bella and the mc can and will be together. It's just a minor setback, like saying "no we can't" while in truth they can't keep their hands off each other.
And it makes sense if you think about it from mc's point of view. He's terrorized by the effect Bella had on him. He had only one relation, with Summer, and he's still trying to recover from it.
And it was needed to move Bella's plot forward, in fact ch4 ends with her driving off into the night to an unknown location for something related to the mc.
And it's not like they're avoiding each other, they already have a date on monday (aka 2 in-game days time) to discuss Vanessa.

 

[Meushi]

what's the problem with uploading a patch along with the game?

The dev can't upload an incest patch along with the game on Patreon, because that would violate Patreon's terms of service (they ban incest & some other things).

Someone maintains an incest patch for Summer's Gone on LewdPatcher, it's linked in the first post.

I don't know about the other download sites, it's generally the Patreon version which gets leaked here.

TLDR: The dev did something I didn't like and now I am personally offended.

At least you did the right thing and walked away - even if you are cleary wrong about some stuff.
Like Bella not being a LI later. No one is a LI for now, sure there are some workings in the making, but no one is having a relationship with the MC YET.
Also Ocean was pretty transparent of his plans - it is known that he wanted to rework Chapter 1 and 2 to make them fit better with chapter 3 and the following. And he did an outstanding job with Chapter 1 imo (I know some people see it differently). Maybe he will do some tweeks here and there later, but that is it about whole chapters being reworked.
But I won't waste my time trying to convince someone who already has made up their mind. The rest is personally preference and the complaining about that kink or this lewd stuff missing is thus meaningless.

I'm sorry but I could not punish my eyes going through this wall of text that just screams out for paragraphs.
One question and I'm not being facetious here, who is Sofa? and is she comfortable to sit on?

I know some may disagree with me on this and that is fair enough but as much as the chapter 1 rework did improve things there was nothing really wrong with it in the first place. i like this VN alot so i would much rather that work would be put into a update rather than reworks in my opinion

Well, I agree in part with your view, that bringing the game onto Steam and therefor only having absolute HQ renders in, is definitely a good move.
But as we know from some discussions with Ocean himself, he is very much a perfectionist. His e.g. Saga on how he searches for and aquires music for his games says everything! There are things in gamedesign where he should learn that less can be more at times.Yes, quality has to be kept, but there are parts of a game, where less attention on details does have no adverse effect, just quickeing the design process.
Besides, the old versions of "SG" and "WIAB" have quite good renders already, not the quality grade as of now, but compared with many other erotic games they were already far up on the totem pole.

I'm guessing Bella is by far the most popular girl on here? judging by how many comments and reviews mention her.
Not that i'm complaining, her persona is just fiery...
Though I imagine Nami is close behind as she is so goofy yet sweet and caring. Silly cheeto!

Well I prefer Mila. She is an absolute bombshell and has such a gentle soul. I liked here instantly in the first version and that never changed.
Let's see how that sleepover at Victoria's turns out. There was not much (many but always short) interaction until now with her.
