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

[PashafromRussia]

Well now that you say it.
Good thing I don't see such things. My best buddy and I hit the cinema since the late 80ties until today. He always sees every micro entering the picture or others mishaps, while I just enjoy the movie. Guess I am blessed this way.

I have a lot of complaints about Ocean. For example, I don't understand where he spends a lot of time. What he calls "sculpting" is a lie, he just transfers the basic model to the zbrush and just moves her eyes, cheekbones, eyebrows and so on. It can't take as much as he says. Let him try to really scrape from sculpt in a blender, and not from a ready-made mesh in a zbrush.
Or he says that he makes clothes in marvelous designer, this is also a lie, he uses ready-made assets from DAZ 3D.
I understand why I get a year of development from DPC, it gives at least 4-5 hours of content (on every branch!), whereas Ocean will give 1 hour of content per year and whining about not having enough power, gas prices have risen.
Damn, move to Russia. In Russia, electricity costs the same as a one-time trip to a pub in Germany.

She learned to use make-up and got her hair done?

She got more rich and now she can afford make up and different hairstyle

 

[AchedCroissant]

Implants

I didn't even remember that she smokes

But this looks pretty good

 

[PashafromRussia]

The shadow on Mila's chest from her arm and hand is consistent with the shadow from her elbow on Bella's arm and the shadow from Bella's arm on Nami's arm. The "shadow" on Nami's forearm looks more like a bruise than a shadow, if this is an in-game render it's possible she's hit her arm on something before this pic is taken.

Perhaps you need to work with lighting more if you think the shadow on Mila looks wrong.

You're lying. The "bruise" on our arm is a shadow bruise, if you zoom in and look closely. The trace of the shadow from the "bruise" goes further to the wrist and is unnaturally reflected on the surface of the table. Any photographer will tell you that there are a lot of rough shadows on the render that catches your eye.

It's hard not to give a political answer to that, so I just leave it at "no thanks, I prefer to live in peace even if it gets a bit colder this winter in my flat that usual".

Can we stop spaming about imperfect shadows

No! More Shadow!

 

[axnjxn]

can someone tell me what uncensor patch does...?

 

[Old Man Al]

can someone tell me what uncensor patch does...?

It makes Nami the MCs sister and Maja and Victoria sisters to each other.

 

[axnjxn]

thanks... i never played this before and wondering is that the intended way to play?

Ocean intends for players to auto asphyxiate while playing, but you do you.

Not sure but what I can tell you is that so far using the incest patch feels very unnecessary compared to other games where there is one.

Both ways are fine imo.
Incest is not really necessary for the story I guess (as it is until now).
The placeholders are more annoying in other VNs imo. That roommates/tenents/landlords/-ladies shit gets old real fast. Here it is friends at least for Nami and MC.

Leave me and my step-twin alone!

At the end of the day the post processing he does ends up looking pretty good, but I get your point. I get the feeling that Ocean isn't being honest about his development either. You can generally tell the bullshitters and milkers by how much they complain about their personal life in their project updates as if they are trying to drum up sympathetic donations. Ocean has done this many, many times.

I personally think Ocean's writing is awful and he makes a lot of bad dev decisions. But with that said, I'm in it for the titties and his renders - at the moment - stand out from the rest.

Probably someday Ocean will learn how to work with lighting.
View attachment 2063640
This can be fixed with the stamp tool in Photoshop, but I'm too lazy to mess around to fix Ocean's mistakes for him.

Those are shadows, how are they a problem?? The left one is a shadow from the right hand, the right one is a shadow from the arm. I see no issues. You may not agree with the lighting but it is totally conceivable that there's a light source to produce those (a lamp or something).

 

[Night Hacker]

and occassional clippings, that happens more frequently, don't help

That's not a big deal either. Most images won't be viewed for more than a second or two, and even then, the focus is on the dialog most of the time. If you're sitting there with a magnifying glass looking for flaws, well, that's the problem. If you expect perfection than don't complain if it takes longer to come out with new chapters for the game.
