I like her, I shouldn't but ocean did a good job on her character.Most of the people does... Even those who don't like her...![]()

Yes, her personality is very well developed. Much more then other developers develop their characters in AVN... Even less when it's not a AVN. She's also, with Nami, character who had the most screen time. Ocean first made us to hate her (first school day event) and then she slowly fall for MC. And MC for her. It was executed really good. Ocean took his time. It doesn't feel rushed. Scenes between two events finding her daydreaming are cute.I like her, I shouldn't but ocean did a good job on her character.
I like this a whole lot more than the rusted NLT 3 sexscenes every update.Yes, her personality is very well developed. Much more then other developers develop their characters in AVN...

Now we wait for Claire to have a cameo
This involved two rolls though... will power had to fail But perception had to succeed! If you missed both rolls, you walked into a wall...Willpower roll botched, it seems.![]()
Hm, where to start?Sorry to break it to you all, i'm sure it won't be well received..... I love this game... but man, this rework was a huge downgrade. It's like Ocean thought "how do i make each of these scenes 10 times better?" ... but imo it failed so much more than the original.
Take the Nami bathroom scene.... it used to be a subtle exchange that disclosed that they had a weird relationship. Sharing the bathroom together and such. But in the update Ocean decided to make it 10x "better". Now Nami and the MC are completely naked in front of each other, they talk about "eating her tits" and then that stupid naked wiggly dance. I mean jeezus, how about conveying the story more subtlety like the original? The old version was far more artistic.
Then there's the classroom update. I find is kinda ridiculous that Bella and the MC get into this stupid "stare down". I mean the hottest girl in school is going to waste her time in a stare down competition in this hobo looking mofo she doesn't care about? She doesn't even know him at this point. Yeah, that was cringe. And when Bella and the MC get grouped up....Now he's loudly proclaiming in protest that he doesn't want to group with her??? In the original game he was stoic an took it normally. But now he speaks out in class that he doesn't want her as a partner? Ok... That's quite the change.
Then there's Sonja. Remember when she was introduced in the classroom as this shy timid women how looks around the room that's trying to listen to the conversations and wants to participate in the interactions? She sat in her chair as a sexy little thing that probably wanted do engage but was to timid to join? Yeah, no longer in this update. Now she gets like 2 renders that basically shows her there. Kinda sad to see her removed from the story at this point. It was intriguing to see her squirm in her chair in the original. But i guess that was removed. Ugh.
And then there's the panic attacks. In the original game the MC only had panic attacks when he was faced with relationship connections. First when he kisses Bella and then when it admitted his love for Nami. That made sense. He was afraid of another Summer situation. But in the update he's getting panic attacks from everything. "oh no, too many people around" "Oh no, i'm riding in a car with a girl" "oh no, i'm afraid of everything" ... Sorry Ocean, that's not how panic attacks work.
And what's the deal with Maja? I mean, in the original game i understood her. The MC was difficult and defied her requests. He was an asshole but at least is made sense given his history. He was stoic and emotionless. But now he this asshole emotard. She wants him to watch over Victoria? Right? In reality she would say "please stay from Victoria" LOL. But nope, this person that's been a complete douchebag to her and Victoria and showed himself to be completely unstable is asked to watch after her precious? Right........
Anyway, say goodbye to this amazing interaction. Would've loved to see them enhanced.

You are not alone my friend. Agree with you on every single point. And while most will probably disagree there are quite a few who agree that a lot of emotional depth was lost with the most recent remake. The new bathroom scene with Nami is absolutely atrocious. It goes against everything that was established with their relationship. The MC WOULD NEVER get into that bathroom with Nami topless and she wouldn't be so overtly lewd because she'd be fearful of scaring him away. She is always gradual with her intimacy towards the MC. That scene almost turns her into a degenerate predator. Also the new scenes with Bella are inferior and almost devoid of emotional impact now compared to how it was before.Sorry to break it to you all, i'm sure it won't be well received.....

Yes. Use search bar: you'll find some old compressed updates posted in this thread.RNasc4444 Tokenugget
Is there any way I could try old version? It sounds completely different game and I wanna try it.![]()
Ah good idea, thanks.Yes. Use search bar: you'll find some old compressed updates posted in this thread.
If you've got the time I'm rar'ing 4beta that I played last summer in june and haven't touched newer SG yet because of the rework.RNasc4444 Tokenugget

I do agree about WIAB, I tried old version and couldn't stand it. It was very good call of Ocean to rework it. New WIAB is perfect though, even though I don't like MCs have a relationship in the beginning, since gf of MC a perfection the game is perfect.If you've got the time I'm rar'ing 4beta that I played last summer in june and haven't touched newer SG yet because of the rework.
Takes a little while since it's the full ver and got the mods and patches installed. Just rename the main characters at your leisure.
I'll make a torrent and post the link.
I think reworking WIAB was a good thing visually and made it a bit easier to comprehend. Old WIAB I had to restart 3-4 times and gave up since it got too chatty.
Here's my crunched version.
Image/audio/video quality is reduced to make shit smaller. This is not a perfect process and sometimes can break a game. You've been warned so no bitching.

I do have time but I do not use torrent, is there a possibilty that will be uploaded to any other place?
As someone said before, where I live sharing a bathroom isn't a weird thing to do. Nor is occasional nudity.Take the Nami bathroom scene.... it used to be a subtle exchange that disclosed that they had a weird relationship. Sharing the bathroom together and such. But in the update Ocean decided to make it 10x "better". Now Nami and the MC are completely naked in front of each other, they talk about "eating her tits" and then that stupid naked wiggly dance. I mean jeezus, how about conveying the story more subtlety like the original? The old version was far more artistic.
Do you mean the staredown that was already in the old version?Then there's the classroom update. I find is kinda ridiculous that Bella and the MC get into this stupid "stare down". I mean the hottest girl in school is going to waste her time in a stare down competition in this hobo looking mofo she doesn't care about? She doesn't even know him at this point. Yeah, that was cringe. And when Bella and the MC get grouped up....Now he's loudly proclaiming in protest that he doesn't want to group with her??? In the original game he was stoic an took it normally. But now he speaks out in class that he doesn't want her as a partner? Ok... That's quite the change.
Yes, her first interaction was changed. It's just a glimpse now, but that doesn't mean that's all Chapter 2 will show of her.Then there's Sonja. Remember when she was introduced in the classroom as this shy timid women how looks around the room that's trying to listen to the conversations and wants to participate in the interactions? She sat in her chair as a sexy little thing that probably wanted do engage but was to timid to join? Yeah, no longer in this update. Now she gets like 2 renders that basically shows her there. Kinda sad to see her removed from the story at this point. It was intriguing to see her squirm in her chair in the original. But i guess that was removed. Ugh.
Now it's getting interesting.And then there's the panic attacks. In the original game the MC only had panic attacks when he was faced with relationship connections. First when he kisses Bella and then when it admitted his love for Nami. That made sense. He was afraid of another Summer situation. But in the update he's getting panic attacks from everything. "oh no, too many people around" "Oh no, i'm riding in a car with a girl" "oh no, i'm afraid of everything" ... Sorry Ocean, that's not how panic attacks work.
I just have to completely disagree with this one.And what's the deal with Maja? I mean, in the original game i understood her. The MC was difficult and defied her requests. He was an asshole but at least is made sense given his history. He was stoic and emotionless. But now he this asshole emotard. She wants him to watch over Victoria? Right? In reality she would say "please stay from Victoria" LOL. But nope, this person that's been a complete douchebag to her and Victoria and showed himself to be completely unstable is asked to watch after her precious? Right........
And scenes like these are exactly the reason why the rework had to happen. It's out of character for Chapter 3 Mila and above.Anyway, say goodbye to this amazing interaction. Would've loved to see them enhanced.

Ocean is preparing for the release of Summers Gone Season 1 (CH 1-5) on Steam.Yes. Use search bar: you'll find some old compressed updates posted in this thread.
Music mod re-enables some old animated scenes the author weirdly removed when he released 4.5 full.
Dude, I don't think the Author needs his lawyers writing here everytime someone writes about the differences between the old versions and the newest one.Ocean is preparing for the release of Summers Gone Season 1 (CH 1-5) on Steam.
There has been significant rework of CH 1 and 2 (CH 2 is at about 65% complete in terms of the rework right now) as well as continuity and render work on CH 3 & 3.5.
Ocean created a number of animations that were tied to music that he had to remove due to licensing issues ahead of this release. Ocean has commented how it sucks that he had to remove some of the animations and many of us agree, but... Steam is a Much larger platform and he needed to polish SG and ensure that all his music was locked down in terms of licensing ahead of a release there.
There was no 'weirdly removed' in this and the why of the removal of music and associated animations has been explained by Ocean and posted here multiple times.
This is his creation, and this is his business decision.
Ocean has big plans for OceanVerse - SG & WIAB, and part of these plans require resourcing to make it happen.
For example - he's mentioned buying an ADA 6000 (estimated cost his last quote was 8000€ to 9000€ in Europe) - which is a Major investment.
A successful Steam launch will provide Ocean with the resources to continue hardware upgrades, get help with music licensing and more.

Here are Ocean's own words to talk about the music (from SS front page) CH 4.5 Full:
With this release, all music that had to be removed has been removed... Fuck did that hurt... All the work that went into these cinematics & finding said music.
Especially the Bella - Mama cinematic... What a great and perfectly fitting song it was.
But it had to be done, and now I will come up with new & better cinematics. I already have two new ones planned for Chapter 5.
I did place "placeholder" music in most of the cinematics... I hate it & would've rather just completely removed them, but many people on discord said to keep them in.
Anyways, I'm looking forward to Chapter 5.
I'm so excited about the future.
- Ocean
Huge LOL for thinking this game is going to be done in 1-2 years.Could someone with experience use a metal rod and bash it on my head so I can go into Coma for about 1-2 years and then when I wake up I wouldn't have to wait for updates. Just make sure to not let my bitch sister anywhere next to me or she may pull the plug...
