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

[soprano31]

A cute widdle bibi that becomes a hellcat when her temper breaks..
I found it pretty funny when the MC taunts her and near gets his neck snapped
Bella might have a soft spot for the MC but if you piss her off, best sleep with one eye open.

Remember we are still only in the introduction phase of the girls though. They will all get their personalities expanded over the updates.

ok twisted,but she's still too kind,i'm still tough on bella,but she can get even more vindictive,just the same as the mc.now it's a bit too romantic,the story could get darker for all,and i also want to know what the story of sacha is,she only looks mysteriously dangerous.

I agree that Bella seems to have done a bit of a 360 turn from sociopath to caring waifu, just a bit too quickly perhaps?
Still, that's not to say we will not see Bella's darker side get unleashed and with the Vanessa/Zara situation, who knows..
Do you think Bella will stand by and let Zara muscle in on her man? that's a real catfight in the making.
The storyline with Mario/Vanessa is probably going to get much darker and possibly Bella too if you do not influence her properly.

Sasha is very intriguing...I can't wait to find out her story.

The dev did mention that

so that should ease your fears with their path

Oh, my fear isn't that they will stay apart forever, it's more that the resolution in game will take years to materialize. Also, god damn. Marriage? That is a lot further than I thought this would go. And so out of character for both of them right now. I'm looking forward to that build up.

It's going to take a while for all the girls definitely, but I think Ocean might just get the future updates out a bit faster.

We'll see. At least I know now that he outsourced programming work and is using and further upgrading a monster rig to render this. Something certain other developers could have done long ago and didn't, and I respect his dedication.

I'm being nice and optimistic today!

Who hurt you?

Agree to a certain point. But I don't want any crispy roasted LIs to happen. If you know, you know.

oh,i sincerely hope so,and i certainly don't hope that nami will get under the influence of vanessa!!

 

[McGreed]

I just hope we'll get to rectify this "we can't be together" situation sooner rather than later. With the sheer amount of LIs still left to build up I fear it's gonna be a while.

My guess is that we'll have to wait for at least 2-3 more chapters until this moment. Although, everything depends on how big future chapters will be and how much screen time other LI's will get.

The local Priest when he tried to do an exorcism.
Apparently he didn't appreciate green pea soup over his cassock.

I'm with that guess. Problem is that several of the other girls are already so deep in my "omg - boring" drawer and it's really hard to get out of there. We'll see what the dev does with them and I wish him good luck to do that organically.

Aim for the face. Yes I've seen the obvious layup for a sexual innunendo in there but I won't make it.

 

[Turret]

it seems he's about to take a creative writing course in Berlin soon. I hope his spirit will survive that. It's the equivalent of going to a university in California.

Well, as a hobby writer myself I can say that the writing courses can be both great and horrific, depending on the guys teaching it. It can make you a more effective writer, which is good, but they can also limit your vision, both on grammar and ideas.
For his English texts, being more effective could be great and grammarwise English is very limiting from the start, so that would not be so much a problem as in his German texts.
I see this when comparing (both mine and others) English writing to German writing. English has a SVO corset with a rigid word order, whereas German is both a V2 and OV language with free constituent word order, including unlimited compound words and unlimited extended modifiers.
There is a reason why the current officially longest, correct in grammar, German sentence clocks in at 1077 words. While some might see that as excessive and in German today shorter sentences are encouraged, it is still a sign of learning being able to compose sentences using the full range of grammar features German has. For writing at least, since in spoken German even educated native speakers keep it shorter.
Generally I think going to this course will help Ocean with witing for SG and WIAB, since these courses help with becoming more effective.

it can only be to his advantage,the better he gets,so much the better the game gets.

Yeah, that's understandable. As for me, I'm not even sure which girl is the least interesting for me. I love Mila and Nami, Zara started to shine finally, Sasha's backstory still incredibly interesting to know, also it's interesting to know true reasons why Vanessa date that *bad word* guy and what's her deal in the story, why she pretend to be stupid bimbo when she's with Bella etc.
Maybe Victoria is little bit boring at this moment, but we've already know that next chapter will change this. Also, I'm very tempted to see and try all opportunities to know Maya closer.
By the way, I've completely forgot about Sonya, so far she's the least interesting girl for me I'd say, but I assume that she's pretty important to the story, after all, she's the one who represents Summer's Gone, being on the main cover of the game.
Oh, seems like I got a little carried away

 

[Violet Lee]

You mean Bella's personality is not enough?
I love her twisted nature...but then again it reminds me of someone

Oh yea? Me too

So it may be a good thing or a bad one Ocean decided to tone it down when it comes to the dark path.

oh,i sincerely hope so,and i certainly don't hope that nami will get under the influence of vanessa!!

It seems to me Nami was mesmerized by Vanessa, so was i. It could be too late for both of us i am affraid.

oh no,never let vanessa dominate you!!don't go on the dark path,stay on bella's heavenly path!!

Generally I think going to this course will help Ocean with witing for SG and WIAB, since these courses help with becoming more effective.

I hope so. I meant it more in a sense of social politics and potentially teaching him that what he does is wrong.
His writing isn't bad, not at all. There are a few phrases he used that make sense in german, but don't when translated to english. That's how I knew he was from a german speaking country before I could confirm that officially. Well that and the barmaid of the german pub is named Layla, but that's a more obscure reference.

Sonya is the most "diverse" of the bunch and I assume that's why she's on the banner. You could show a whole row of hot blondes that look almost interchangeable but that's not unique enough. As far as game signatures here go I think Bella wins that one hands down.

It seems to me Nami was mesmerized by Vanessa, so was i. It could be too late for both of us i am affraid.

She gives me the fuckin creeps. And it's not only her heterochromia. You can keep her. But stay away from my sister.

And the fact that she's Ocean's favorite of course

That's also true. But nonetheless I think it's not the only reason why she's on banner. Only time will tell

 

[DirtyMario]

I guess I must have missed a lot of backstory before I started playing.
She's his favourite? I got the feeling that he isn't fully aware of his own casual xenophobia through a certain phrasing he used.

Yes, Layla, had to snort when she popped up first! As for "teaching him what he does is wrong": I would take exception and tell a writing teacher "screw you", if he/she wanted to push into one direction. That has nothing to do with writing and should stay out of class. But I know what you mean and I cannot stand these woke flatfappers at all.

Yea I hope he can take the pressure. Or even better, doesn't even mention what he's working on.

flatfappers

Perfect example of phrasing that works in german, but english speakers are confused

So after playing through the available content I've got some more OPINIONS!

Spoiler: Opinions!

As for the board game, I think the same as you, it was a bit heavy for me and it did not influence the story as such. I think that since the MC has problems down there, the creator will quench our thirst for sex through that board game, with scenes within the imagination of the game, until the MC is fully operational. Still I think it can be interesting.

Oh right. Next time we'll use the spicy cards. And the thiccc (triple c) teacher will join the group. I wonder if she's aware.
