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

Patreon Goals

"The possibility to buy a professional render farm, and external cooling for it. (Prices go far into the 5-digits.)

This would speed up every aspect of the development process immensely.

Animations still take up to a day to render and the more sophisticated they become, the longer they'll take"


Hmm, really?

a release date, is hidden behind a paywall x3 I already know what type of Dev you are. I will let every simp figure it out for themselves. If, a big if, I am wrong, then, I am wrong.

Summer's Gone was fun (being rude to everyone) but it is time to find something better, and a trustworthy, loyal (not hiding most, if not all, things behind paywalls and not a lying) Dev.

Bundaaa you are so stupiid

I sure hope there will be a full Nami path, without any of the "but we are family BS" (I believe they are not blood related, just adopted house mates).

You're allowed to lie to yourself, just like anybody else who attends a religious organization. Why do I call it a lie? Because if it were true there would be only one.

Patreon is the only reason a version of the game exists where Nami & MC aren't siblings. Anything else us purely deluding yourself.

Like come on, if I was MC I would have been with her long ago.

Not likely if you'd have the same trauma the MC apparently did, though admittedly many people respond differently. You might have had sex with her, but it's entirely possible there'd be no love and it was a hostile relationship.

I would really like to see a player have a choice to prevent any bi content with Nami's path...at least until MC has taken her virginity and established their relationship path.

Any other major insecurities you have that you'd like to share? What's wrong with her discovering her own sexuality? I'd think you'd be happier if she sampled a few girls and then chose your dick instead - because if she doesn't ride the MC, she's probably going to be riding Jeff, regardless of whether or not she becomes a clam diver.

I have a feeling the farm visit will have Sonya as well as Nadia & Nancy. Probably will happen on the Sunday in game, so after the Nia visit. After that, then there's the sparring session with Ayua which will probably have Sasha there as well. So, my guess, the next bunch of episodes will have:

Chapter 5 - Nia
Chapter 5.5 - Nadia, Nancy and Sonya
Chapter 6 - Ayua and Sasha
Chapter 6.5 - Monday Colleage (Edit - not forgetting horny Vic's therapy visit) and then the Bar opening which will be a huge gathering and probably have multiple branches based on previous choice.

Hopefully the events take place a little bit faster. Cause with this prediction we will be waiting for Sasha Content for 1.5 years.

How dare he want to upgrade his gear. Ocean is putting out regular updates, interacting with his community, and seems pretty chill about the fact that everything gets leaked here. The sense of entitlement from some of you goombas is a sight to behold.

Either support the guy, freeload, or don't. Insinuating that he's up to something shady is pretty mind boggling lol.

Incidentally, I would never have found Ocean's VN's if it weren't for this pirated site, and subsequently became a supporter. I'll believe him when he says he needs money to upgrade to pump out higher quality with more speed or hire more people to cover his weaknesses. I have no reason to not take his word so far.

I dunno, despite having a social filter issue (especially when she gets nervous), I don't think Nia is so emotionally ignorant to show him off to his 'camgirl friends'. She asks Nami about Summer when MC isn't around, so I wanna believe she'll be mature enough to not expose him when he clearly struggles to maintain basic social interactions. She has a hard time to keep shut, but she's compeltely able to read other people's reactions. (As seen when MC clearly doesn't want her there, and when MC decides to sit with Vic and Mila cause he doesn't think he can stand Nia due to his hangover).

I reckon a video call with one is not entirely out the realm of possibility. I can image the discussion they're having passing right over the MC's head. Nami would be killing herself laughing at trying to quietly explain it all only for it to end thus:
Camgirl: "Oooo, who's the new guy"
Nia "Hehe, this is MC"
Camgirl: "Hey, MC, you watch my shows?"
MC: "I don't watch porn"
Camgirl: "Oh, wow, err.... Well, how do you masturbate"
Nami: "He doesn't"
Camgirl "Shit, Nia, can you send him my way?"

I honestly don't have the minor idea of how it will play out, my guess is that it would envolve somehow the camshow, or maybe it could be just a normal hang out, but if it's like that the, why would Nia change the day of the meeting?

This hangout isn't going to be normal. It'll either be depressing, hilarious or both...

Pretty much this. Not just the difference in quality, but the willingness to fix your previous work to match your current quality too. Like you said, I found him through this site, loved it and chose to support.

As someone who works in graphic design, game dev and animation, I can attest to the fact that HW upgrades can cause massive productivity changes, and seeing how he's making 2 games at once, he can use all the upgrades he can get.

On a side note, for those who are not playing the Bella route, who appears at the end of the beta chapter?

That would be Elsa. Ely for short.

Right you are, Kenny! But who do you have to reject before you get the chance to play ball with the coach?

Btw Nvidia RTX 6000 is out now, its more powerfull than A6000 as it uses 40xx arch (Ada Lovelace). But its recomended retail price is like $9999

He doesn't need speed, he needs VRAM to load complex environments and the A6000 has twice the amount of memory.
Anyway it might drive the price of the A6000 down a little so still good news.

You come across as quite entitled...

Ocean's Patreon page (and SS page for that matter) both show how his releases work.

He is not obilgated to change that for you, me or anyone else - If someone is not a supporter at a particular level, the release is hidden behind a pay wall - which is how this works for 95% + of creators using either Patreon or SS.

Ocean has a range of goals that certain levels of support will enable.

He may never get to the goal you posted - but at least he Is putting a significant amount of $ from his supporters back into both SG and WIAB.

He is a very productive creator, particularly given the issues with energy in Germany specifically and Europe in general all European based creators are trying to cope with.

I do think your last sentance in your post best captures your entire post - 'Summers Gone was fun (being rude to everyone) but it is time to find something better ...'

Perhaps F95 has hash tags for 'Rude' and 'Entitled' - good luck finding those elsewhere.

Where is Bella??

don't worry bro, if you're on her way then she'll be in every chapter.
a lot or a little, but it will

 

[deuxrayme]

So, wtf is MC's default name?
It's still showing up as blank for me if I didn't input a name at the start.

Are you using a mod? If so, the creator may not have updated the code used to have that part. In the non-modded beta, the default name is Nika.

This game is no doubt beautiful like the art of mouth, but I still can not understand, in having so many beautiful women love the male protagonist, why can only be satisfied with kissing, and has not asked to have sex with women, so I am very confused

The MC is still recovering from a very serious loss. Summer, his girlfriend, vanished or died (currently not known what exactly happened). And it is hinted that whatever happened was criminal in nature.

One smile from Bella and my heart melted. I can't even describe in words how genuinely happy I was when I saw her

I see it like this. Since he lost the love of his life he was in a very dark place completely shutting himself off from the world for two years. The game begins when he makes his first small attempt to crawl out of his shell and start interacting with people since that time. All events in the game so far are lasting about a week or less. He has already taken a big leap from being completely socially deprived to interacting with many people (who are mostly a horny girls). With many of them he builds relationships, romantic or friendly.
It's a perfectly natural way from outcast to popular guy. He just can't jump from almost asexual hermit with no interest in the slightest social contact to a crazy love machine. At the current moment in the game, he has already met most of the girls, they got to know him, certain relationships of varying degree of intimacy were established. Beside that he realized that he had a psychotrauma and that he wanted to be healed. So as the relationship building and the healing will progress, sex will become a natural next step he is willing to take. And don't forget that the first four chapters are an "introduction" according to the dev.
