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

[Night Hacker]

Tss, I'd vote for you. This is exactly what I think. Some years ago I was called racial slurs. Did I like it? Nooope. Would I use them myself? No. Do I find people who mindlessly use it in real life stupid? Yep, I do.
However, if someone was to write a similar scene for a movie, a series, a book, a short story or a VM, with the same character who called racial slurs, I won't be like 'Ohhh nooo, they shouldn't say that, censor it!!'

They're not celebrating what the character said or did, they're representing what this person is, they do it so we understand how this person is. If reading something like this really gets under your skin, you should be looking for something else. Is as if I liked mystery-detective novels and then I complained when the author decides to describe in detail a mangled body.

Exactly! We're a lot alike. I think judging anyone by their race is the height of stupidity. I know good and bad people of all shapes, sizes and races. I would never insult anyone based on their race. But in a movie, or game... it is used to show you what sort of character is speaking... if he uses racial slurs, than he is obviously a jerk. It has nothing at all to do with promoting it.

I feel the same way about people who use them as I do about men who refer to women as dirty sluts in a game after they get done blackmailing them for sex... I don't usually play the game very long unless it has a good story and the insults are nessecary for the plot; Anna Exciting Adventure comes to mind, nice character, horrible game for the insults against the woman, I was like... if she's so horrible, why do you want to sleep with her?! They overdid it with the insults in that game. I am the type of guy who hates racism etc in real life and wouldn't play a game with too much of it in it... but the odd comment to set the tone as to what type of person a character is doesn't bother me, and is expected.

Yeah and the melting Power Connectors too right? There are too many problems already known and i wouldn't risk it.

Yeah, I heard about that. Doesn't make as big a dent in game development anyhow. I spend more time just setting a scene up and correcting errors than rendering.

 

[Trojaner]

If you guys actually read his dev logs, he has no plans of upgrading to a 4090. He wants workstation A6000's for faster rendering.

Well, actually i know that Ocean wants the real deal A-Series.

Has the dev actually said that he even plans on adding pornographic content to this game. Im starting to think there wont really be any, which would be fine but it would be nice to know if its ever going to happen. Seems unlikely at this point, its still a good game though.

Ya it will come, it's just going to take longer into the story to make it a little more realistic.

 

[Garen]

Personally, I'm fine with it being there. I understand why it might bother some people, but it's not the dev being a racist twat, it's clearly the nature of that character (one of the not-quite-coaches, as I recall) who speaks that way.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with anything being in fiction, from incest to cannibalism. The only thing the fiction needs to be mindful of is to keep its narrative coherent.
If people are looking for books to be paragons of morality then they are advised to head to the kindergartner section in the library.

Two Summer's Gone updates this year and with two month margin, wow Oceans, wow

Edit: Sorry KhamulTG81, I never forget you.

All the people who claimed Ocean wouldn't take 30+ years to finish the game because of the nonlinear acceleration of his update release cycles that would start progressing once he started getting better hardware must be feeling pretty proud about themselves now haha

I don't know about the realistic representation aspect though. A college sports coach could get in real trouble for abusing with racial slurs these days, so that's pretty iffy. Still, I know these things vary hugely by country/ region so it gets a pass by me.

Does anyone know if the dev is planning on upgrading the GPU to the new 4090? The performance increase would be massive in renderings.

For SG he's aiming for the professional cards for graphics designers, probably after ch5 and the Steam release.

no kidding. I'm working on a game/VN and it took me 3-1/2 days to set up a scene with all the assets, poses, expressions, lights and backgrounds that's going to produce 5 renders that will take about 5-10 minutes each to render (based on a test render) with my current setup. If they rendered in 30 seconds each that wouldn't cut much out of the total time.

Words of Wisdom. This brought a tear to my one remaining eye

Hi fellas.. What can you tell me about the maple leaves in SG? What does it mean and stand for? I'm about to write an thread about SG in different language and need a little idea

Fall issues in the end of Summer. Summer is gone, and the falling leaves are a metaphor for MC's lost innocence. Or, they're just leaves.

Better words have not been spoken

Better words have not been spoken

While I agree that those are wise words and agree with them wholeheartedly, personally I think hearing "Hey baby, do you want a blowjob before you fall asleep?" to be much, much better words.

just my perspective

As these leaves are in his other VN too, it is probadly just his logo.

Maybe he's secretly Canadian, or has a Canada fetish, or a maple syrup fetish.
or the fact that he could get a maple leaf asset for Daz cheap.
