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

And - we have to add this: in this case any lewd scene would be wasted on him.

This is true.

This. You can't miss the warning screen at the start...unless you have the eyesight of a mole and blindly click all over the screen

And even under this conditions, there is a hard coded forced pause build in by Ocean to prevent exactly this situation and the connected complains "Buhuhuhu, No PoRn iNsIdE AnD nO wArNiNg AbOuT ThIs. LAAAAAAAAMmmmmme shit game"

Great times back then, when people had to read at least a little and understand what they read when using a computer...

Maybe Ocean could code into the game a hidden virus that uses the players mic and if it hears them yelling "Wtf! where is the bobs and vagene man!" it blows up their PC or something...that would be so funny...hehe
Shit, I'm sick aren't I?

 

[dorleans]

is it just me or the story is really confusing...The graphics and animation is like probably tops with BADIK but when you play at the start it starts with a flashback, but then after that I'm just left dumbfounded.....

I'm sorry fans but I'm just saying my opinion which kinda feels like it's what everyone opinion is cause the story is confusing ass hell

Yeah, so Summer's Gone is kind of an experimental melodrama in the VN medium. All emotions are heightened, the characters consist entirely of extremes, the narrative holds together aesthetically, and the whole thing operates according to poetic logic rather than prose. Basically, you've been trying to read the lyrics of an opera like a novel.

This is the kind of story where people rend bloody furrows into themselves from grief, put out their own eyes at horrific realizations, burn cities in vengeful wraths.

Now, if that's not your thing, it's not your thing. But if you read it that way, I think you'll find it's no longer confusing.

like the MC is on the street with this chick and they talk like they know each other and also the background seems a bit shit (but still quality is ) and then she walks down the street and then crashes

but then here's what confuses me The MC just calmy approaches her and checks her like his some calm badass and tells the teacher (later on) to call the ambulance calmy and then seconds later

she tries to shoot him because she thought he was trying to kill her? and then man just takes the gun away like the badass that he thought he is..I'm sorry but the character building from the MC is already bad at the start.


and then later on the girl who was in the accident gets "obsessed" with the MC and so as every other girl in the school.

which really feels like it's forced. it hasn't even been a week start at the school and every girl the MC meets get some type of crush to him

and there was this one girl too in class that is problematic and so chaotic..oh bro don't get me started what kinda character is that in college like she has some real aggressive anger issues. her mom is probably my favorite part of the game..)))

there's nothing even special about the MC, man even looks like he hasn't showered for days. and his personality is bad ass hell "because oh his lover died years back and is still depressed".

probably the decent story in this game is between the sister or best friend. and the art style and I actually like how the girls look but the personalities or probably just the writing is a bit shit tbh. and that's it

I'm sorry fans but I'm just saying my opinion which kinda feels like it's what everyone opinion is cause the story is confusing ass hell

How to say "I basically skipped just about all the dialog" without saying so out loud.

I never looked at the gallery but that is too funny! I guess it must drive him mad with the pressure to put in lewd scenes.
Hillside thread gets it too. There's masses of lewd stuff on here, but ones with engrossing stories? not so much, unfortunately.

Quality dropped with the reworked Chapter 1? Say what?


Why only a guess at a long publicly established fact that's already in progress?

what i mean is, it's very easy to notice the quality drop when chapter 2 starts, because chapter 1 rework pushed the bar very high.

and i'm not living here, i don't know the author is reworking chapter 2. the old fact to you is news to me.

There is a screen at the start of the game that tells you that there will be a drop in graphics quality in chapter 2 and that it's being reworked. You don't need to be living here to know it.

i did read that, apparently my brain didn't process that correctly.
when i played this game before the rework, i already felt this game had great visuals, top notch for my standards. but that's probably 1 year ago, my memory is dim.
when i replayed chapter 1, just from my last impression i know the reworked one is better, but not until chapter 2 starts i realize exactly how much better the rework is.

although what my original post looks like stating the obvious, i'm just trying to say i'm looking forward to more rework.

 

[aluoaniki]

did the author reduce the amount of story mila had in chapter 1 rework?
i roughly remember mila and nami were my favorite girls before chapter 2 started and jesus bella got so much time to shine.
reworked chapter 1 makes me feel like mila is just a random pretty chick with no intention to be the main focus.

 

[starkj]

I hope all girls get their fair share of time, i'm kinda interested in seeing more of Sasha even tho i like Nami alot.

Yeah, I'm very curious about Sasha's story and personality.

 

[John Ness]

We definitely need more Sasha.

 

[Nx99]

Man, what a great VN so far. Probably one of my favorites ever. I got through it in no time. You know it's great when you feel kinda empty/wanting for more.

 

[anonnyscouse]

i have a question (im new in this thread sorry if its already discused), why the dev are doing two games at the same time and why not focus in one to complete it all before focusing in the other ? (sorry for my poor english).

Some writers prefer to have more than one project at a time. It can help avoid writers block if they can move to a different subject when stuck. Adding variety can also prevent a writer from getting bored with a project and losing the motivation to continue and finish a project.

 

[Old Man Al]

...There's masses of lewd stuff on here, but ones with engrossing stories? ...

Only lots of gross stories.

That hit you like a red slap..

At first this game was not being developed by Ocean, it was his story but it was being done by Regium (don't look for him, he is no longer in this forum, he deleted his account).
Regium abandons the project and Ocean decides to continue alone (there is a brief period towards the end of episode 2 where they worked together).
At that time WIAB already had in its future the rework.
Official word, Ocean says that having the two games helps him not to get burned out.

sup guys i just want to know yours opnion on why sasha says that maybe MC deserves being left out on the girls locker room, and she just thinks that if you kissed bella.. otherwise she just says maybe

i personally think that is just a little bit of jealousy..

what you guys think?
