News in the latest Dev Update just now:
"I'm around 70% done with the full version of Chapter 4.5."
"I'm around 70% done with the full version of Chapter 4.5."
I don't understand.I met up with a law firm and discussed quite a bit of music-related stuff. In the future, I will never ever use a site like Shutterstock, Epidemic, etc. again.
Oh but DPC did have licensing problems and had to remove many of the game's most popular songs. What I can't remember for sure is if it's related to specific licensing sites or directly due to the artists.I don't understand.
Dr Pinkcake uses shit tone of licensed music from PremiumBeat and doesn't have any problems. 199$ per track.
No it wasn't related to any website, just one band asked to remove their songs from the gameOh but DPC did have licensing problems and had to remove many of the game's most popular songs. What I can't remember for sure is if it's related to specific licensing sites or directly due to the artists.
Correct. They originally shared their music on Soundcloud under a CC BY-SA 3.0 license, meaning it was free to use, even commercially, provided credit was given to the band. DPC still wrote to them at the time, asking if they were okay with him using their music in a game with adult content but they didn't reply so he went ahead with it.No it wasn't related to any website, just one band asked to remove their songs from the game
PremiumBeat music has a hard limit of copies.I don't understand.

In 99% of the cases, this is impossible.They can still be useful, just not for getting the licenses. Those that offer membership for a monthly fee can be used to find tracks that interest you. Then just reach out to the artist directly and see how it goes.
Thats wrong, totally. At least for the german playerbase on steam.All you need is VPN.
Season 1 will have 5 chapters, it werent 10 per season ?You must be registered to see the links
Hello,
(I attached the new Steam/Ambient Trailer. Watch it in 4k. Otherwise, it looks like pixel-mud thanks to the YT compression.)
So... First of all sorry for not doing a Dev Log when it was supposed to be out. The last Dev Log date fell exactly on the date I moved across the country.
Then a week later, I flew back and spent Christmas with my family.
I'm currently pretty damn sick. Not sure if Covid or the Flu... But it also doesn't matter. It'll go away eventually.
I finished setting up the PCs etc. not that long ago. Got my desk, and everything that's needed for work.
One WiAB hard drive died, but I didn't lose anything game related. (I had a backup.)
I'm around 70% done with the full version of Chapter 4.5.
All that's left is the college part plus Amber/Bella.
2. Steam
Summer's Gone is coming to Steam next year. The first Season will include Chapter 1 to Chapter 5.
If you want to support the game beyond Patreon, consider wishlisting the game. (Even if you don't necessarily plan on buying it. It still helps a lot with no additional costs attached.)

3. Music-related stuff
So, the biggest headache in development again...
I met up with a law firm and discussed quite a bit of music-related stuff. In the future, I will never ever use a site like Shutterstock, Epidemic, etc. again.
All deals will now be made directly with the artist/label.
I mentioned before, that I was in the process of making a deal... Well, besides their very dubious actions towards me. (Promising me stuff that wasn't in the license agreement and would have gotten me into serious legal trouble, I will remove A LOT of music again for Season 2.
Summer's Gone Season 1 will keep all the music. (Chapter 1 to Chapter 5.)
But with the start of SG Season 2, I'll look for new music, far away from these fucking licensing sites.
That's why I'll work with a law firm in the future. Secure the licenses, etc.
It's very possible that music will take a place in the back for a year or two... I just really don't wanna deal with this permanent anxiety of breaching some weirdly designed line in a contract, that is open for all sorts of interpretation.
The lawyer said, that the best way would be to create original soundtracks for the game.
But it's way too expensive at the moment.
But someday we'll do it.
And Steam has the potential to be the first big step toward original soundtracks.

Anyways, I'll try to finish the rendering part for Chapter 4.5 Full in the next two weeks.
I'm currently taking it easy to recover from my flu/covid. So I'm not at 100% efficiency. (Also still have to take care of a lot of stuff due to the move. I don't even have a bed right now.)
See ya then.

Well, if it's wrong why it worked for me? I'm from Germany. My nickname "Tremonia" is the latin name for my home town "Dortmund". All you need is a VPN and a credit card. The last time I bought at Steam via VPN was eight days ago. As a german I can assure you it's possible to buy at Steam with VPN and don't forget to set the right store location at the check out. Maybe you shouldn't use the client. I only buy via the browser version.Thats wrong, totally. At least for the german playerbase on steam.
As a fellow citizen I can only suggest to not do it with your main Steam account. There have been reports of warnings being handed out by Valve on the Subverse Discord. I can't confirm it (only did it myself years ago, when the restrictions first popped up), just be cautious.Well, if it's wrong why it worked for me? I'm from Germany.

I believe that's the case. Drifty got most of his music from Artlist and even though their current ToS explicitly prohibit the use of their stuff in anything with pornographic content, it looks like the artists working with them retain all the rights to the music. I did some research just now and found this:It might be different from library to library... But the big ones own the exclusive rights.
What should they do? In the European Union we have the right to freedom of movement and several decisions of the CJEU has declared this applys to the Internet as well. If I made my holidays in Spain I've the right to buy from the spanish Steam store. Of course I buy only in the netherlands Steam store if I'm in the Netherlands.As a fellow citizen I can only suggest to not do it with your main Steam account.
