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

[PaxHadrian17]

And I had at least 25 more songs that I carefully selected over the years... All of them had a 100% perfect fit...

That's why it hurts so much, but I had no choice but to remove them if I didn't want to end up in a prison cell and the games dead.
But the day will come when I'm a big enough fish for them to reconsider, and I'll bring everything back.

Everything I once envisioned.




Nami undressing in CH3 after finding out about Nick goes deeper than just sexualization. It has a meaning.
Draw your own conclusions on why she did that.



Absolutely this.

This is why I'm going for the A6000 cards. Huge, realistic, and dynamically moving backgrounds and it's what most people who tell me to get 4x 4090 instead of one A6000 don't get.

Composition isn't just about what's in focus, it's every single thingy in the background.




Seven songs for both games, for 210€/month instead of 8750€ once was a good deal.
After Steam I would have changed it to a permanent deal.

I know how to spend the money to reach my goals.
And my goal isn't to maximize profits but to create the game I envisioned.

I don't care how much time it will take, or how much it's gonna cost.
I'm just gonna do it.




I'd say the sub route isn't a real submissive route anymore. It's equal.

So there's a Vanessa Dom route & a route where you're equals. (There are still lewd scenes where she acts submissive.)

Ocean,

Thanks for staying the course, rain or shine!

I'm cheering you on big time for a Great Steam Season 1 release!!

I want those indie artists to see how your story makes their music resonate with an audience that would, otherwise, not know them.

I looking forward to the day when you have to hire someone to answer the many emails from artists and freelancers who want to be a part of Summers Gone and WIAB - and you get to choose who becomes part of this creation and gets the boost by association.

I Believe!

Have a Great weekend!

Cheers!

In real life, I'll be happy if my sister ends with someone like Jeff, is a cool guy and a good bro, and in that town the other guys are all a bunch of piece of shit or just morons. Even the MC is a piece of shit, he tries to change and is at least a man of honor but man, people of that city are crazy.

True, I hope Ocean will give Jeff some romance path in the background too that we will be able to witness

A bit like Liam in Acting Lessons and Chris in Leap of Faith, where you can hook them with one of the girls, just makes for something wholesome and 'real' (kinda), I know I'm not insecure enough to have problems with that, it's not like it's a harem to begin with.

The problem is that there are tons of people who are insecure (or whatever you wanna call it) about that kind of situation.

Now I'm really curious what the true meaning behind it is that you intended. I have my own conclusions but they're probably wrong or not fully on the mark. Will we have to wait and find out the true meaning of that scene in later chapters or will you tell us?

My probably wrong conclusions, first time I played it I thought it was hot, but also felt like it was trying to capture how close and comfortable she feels to the MC, like she trusts him. She gets half nude around him a lot. I don't think that's quite right though. Or maybe she was trying to compete with Bella? based on what the conversation you're having with her at the time she takes her top off is, but I am sure that is the wrong conclusion as well as she is topless at other moments like the bathroom when you're not having a similar conversation of her feeling ditched or undesired.

"It's avoidable,but you never want this,
because thanks to Jeff and his beautiful comrades,
you'll send Nami all the way into ecstasy with one of the most beautiful,
exhausting,orgy she's ever had.

"After which she has been deeply double penetrated for hours,
screaming and shivering from the umpteenth squirting orgasm,
until she is completely is worn out,
and no longer knows what planet she is on !!"

I'm sure you'll agree with me when I say u need to keep in mind that the MC is the player, that's how u wrote it at least, so when you do scenes with deeper meanings that involves the MC u need to include the player in on it. We need to know what those deeper meanings are and shouldn't have to draw our own conclusions. I drew my own conclusions and all i got from that was sexualizing, which obviously i now know I'm wrong. But if u look at it without the knowledge u have as the writer what else conclusion can u come to? When it comes to emotion base stuff like that we as the player should know what the deeper shit means so we can understand the scene better is all I'm saying, cause to me it looked ridiculous when she did that but if i knew the deeper meaning behind it i obviously wouldn't have felt that way.

If the deeper meaning is Nami's alone then the player (and the MC) don't necessarily know about the deeper meaning of it. The MC hasn't been given mindreading skills. If Ocean had said there was a deeper meaning to MC doing something then yes the player should be aware of it, but if it's another character like Nami or Bella or anyone else then we shouldn't be spoonfed why they are doing what they are doing.

Honestly, I'd really like to know what the deep meaning of her act was, too, because I totally missed it.

I think this is the only moment in the whole story that I told myself: "huh, WTF is she/he doing?"

This is good. One of the things that took me out of some of the emotion heavy scenes was the fact that the girls are sexualized for no apparent reason within that scene. Bella crying telling the MC how horrible kids were to her growing up and Nami after finding out about Nick are two examples of emotion heavy scenes that for no apparent reason have Bella and Nami practically naked. In fact in the Nami one she removes her top the moment the MC comes in lol. It really takes away from the emotion in the scene and makes it look ridiculous and pervy instead. But this is good, it shows ocean has matured and hopefully he'll do the same with all the other scenes that need a wardrobe change that'll fit the mood more instead of pimping his characters out just for the sake of it

I don't know about Bella, but the scene with Nami didn't strike me as sexualized. By this point in the game, it's quite clear that Nami is perfectly comfortable being half-naked around the MC. She wiggles her tiddes in front of him without any sexual connotation. Well, maybe she's teasing him a little, but that's not something serious. It's like relaxing in a jacuzzi with Zara and Vanessa. Daring talks, naked bodies, but no action. When Nami makes a move you can't miss it, like in the ending of the jacuzzi scene, when the MC had to literally push her away to keep the poor wormy's virginity
The scene when Nami finds out about Noji and Nick shows her insecurities and fear of being abandoned, as it was with Summer, when Nami's best friend almost stole both her best friend and beloved roommate from her. I see in this scene that she is facing her biggest fear of being abandoned by the people she trusts and loves the most. And while I agree that she was a bit overdramatic, it was unfair for the MC to point this out. It's like if Amber would tell him that he's overreacting with his panic attacks. And her gesture when he wraps his arm around her breast and she pulls his hand closer, I think it's her unconscious attempt to keep him close and don't let him run away with the blondie bitch, rather than something sexual

Naah i get that she's comfortable being nude in front of the MC I get that, but that's not what i was talking about. My problem was with the fact that she took her top off when the MC came in which seemed out of place for the scene. If it was a sexual scene and she stripped down then sure, but it was an emotion based scene with Nami crying and shit so it just came of wierd and seemed more like the dev was pimping Nami out than anything else. If she was already topless to begin with it would've made sense but yeah, just looked wierd to me. The Bella one is worse tho cause you can't make the same argument that she's comfortable being naked in front of the MC because at that point she barely knew him and they weren't romantically involved yet. But yeah it's still an adult game so I guess the Dev will still try cater to those who are here mainly for nudity and sexual content once in a while. I'd just say maybe implement it in none emotion based scenes like the hot tub one for example.

Right, i do agree with that. Tho if it only happened with Nami then sure you could make that argument but both Nami and Bella? The only two girls who so far had emotional scenes were both naked during those scenes. Kinda wierd if u ask me

I get what you mean, but no.

The scene and Nami's behavior are supposed to make you question it, and not give you an answer.
I want you to make up your own conclusions about scenes and character behavior.

Trying to understand someone else in whose head you can't look makes games immersive, exciting, and unpredictable.


If your own conclusions lead you to believe that the scene was just over the top sexualized, then that just means you're still lacking some vital puzzle pieces.
Weird, unexplainable behavior is supposed to happen... Because at some point, far deeper in the story, the pieces will align and a light bulb will go off.

It will change the meaning of entire scenes that were three, seven, or fourteen Chapters ago.

And this doesn't just apply to Nami.
It affects pretty much every character. Many of them have quirks the players see as weird, unreasonable behavior.

And that's because most of it hasn't been explained yet. (And most of it won't be explained in detailed words, but a lot of hints, etc. will be dropped that give you a deeper insight into a character's motives & desires.)

But not every character with a quirk has a deep backstory behind it. Some actually have some "weird" & "bibish" sides.


SG plays the long game. We're still just in the build-up phase.
It's not a finished game so of course, there are things that don't make sense to the player yet.

You're supposed to be in the dark. (As of Chapter 4.5)
