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

[sorco2003]

I will not go into discussion if Ocean will make the game to the end. But, say we, he does stick to his plan and make it. After some calculation it will take 20 years. Say we, technology goes at this rate and he is done in 15 years. Will people still play AVN's in 15 years?

The question that seems to me to be more precise would be: what is the optimal development cycle? and SG could have such a cycle?

A better question is what a realistic chapter cycle would be post hardware upgrade. Would it be possible to pump out 1600-2k high quality renders in 6 months? 4? 3?

Finally, this thread has returned to its old good self. No more nerdy fights over renders per second and other weird lingo. Just the usual sweet and cozy "no sex for ages", "hope my grandkids see the ending", 'haha, MC can't get his junk hard, lmao, geez". Feels like home again.

The only things missing are Warscared's 500-word paragraphs, Soprano31's poems, and Vidal's panic attacks.

For this reason, which serial is ideal? 3 months? less?

Ideal is as quickly as possible while maintaining the quality we are accustomed to. We've got a story to finish dammit!

Obviously yes, but all the discussion of times and years to come is empty if these questions are not asked. This game was transparent from day one (well, not really, since Ocean took the reins would be the right thing to say) It was always known that it was going to be long (today only the exact number is known, but it was always said to be around 30 chapters) It was never hidden the fact that the development was slow and is getting better as time goes by.
If at this point the same debate continues , they will not get to any answer, the only answer is; yes, it will take a long time, accept it or move to the next thread.

Claire and Coach Hill are top choices in "woman" category

You can have Coach Hill and Claire - Amber will take care of me Just fine...

I could certainly be wrong since none of us can predict the future, but Ocean seems to be an intelligent person and knows people are frustrated with the release speed - I think he's frustrated with it as well and knows that the render speed is the bottleneck. If he can get to where his rendering rig stops being a constant bottleneck, release speed should increase considerably so I am hopeful it will not take nearly so long.

The game/story is currently still in the phase of introduction of new places (sets) and characters. The time needed for finding assets and setting up these sets and designing new characters is likely considerable, compared to just setting up already existing sets and characters for new scenes or scene series. So the future scenes of this story in familiar environments with known characters (lots of facial expressions and poses can also be re-used) will likely take less time to create.
After all, this story is (fortunately) not a road trip with a bunch of new sets and characters for every new update from the beginning to the end.

I was thinking that this is a very good situation. Soon Nika will get into the first team, he will be able to sign a contract and he will have his own money. Nami wants to go to the college dorm. Najiko will move in with Nick. It turns out that Nika can start living together with Bella in the old apartment. It will be a unique experience for them.

It's a sweet thought but I doubt Bella would move there to live amongst the peasants

what a nice and wonderful thought if nami, mila, vic and the mc all live together in a apartment that has been mentioned it's a dream come true to most guys to live with such beautiful women especially if they are all crazy about you just let your imagination run wild with the thought.

Mhhhh,still, the company of Vanessa, Zara and Nami in the jacuzzi will be more preferable than Vic, Mila and Nami in the hostel

yeah vanessa is really something are far as personailty she seems to be the kind of person you can't fool and would have to be on your toes and be able to keep up with her as far as intellect and would have to have a wide range of knowledge in many different areas to keep her interested.

Not on my watch... Nojiko stays or go with me. And Nick can continue solo or borrow Zaras boyfriend... I'm sure he will not say anything...

Hey, is it worth to start playing the game now? I see there are 20 ish planned chapters and so far since 2019 only 4(?) have been released. Is the game still being worked on?

There were a complete graphic rework for versions before. With next update this rework will be complete. Developer make two games simultaneously (to prevent burnout).
There is no simple answer to your question and I will give your a recomendation; play it, game is really good, Really good story with beautiful girls/woman and stunning animations.
