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

[zack1419]

i wanna know when this adult visual novel will have the "adult" part. if i wanted to play a normal VN there a plethora of other VNs out there. i dont understand the hype you guys have for SG as far i have seen this AVN is mediocre but maybe thats because this is a mediocre vanilla VN.

I don't see any adult tag on SG on steam, I might be blind though. The whole point is to avoid the adult tag, to ensure a wider potential audience, hook them in.

He's planning on steam worldwide. Ocean doesn't want it to be resticted. Germany and the US both get it is the intention. He won't sell more by being 18+ in the US vs everywhere at pegi 16.

This is about exposing the game to as many people as possible so he's less dependent on platforms. That's why he'll release on Epic and Gog as well.

I get the play, it makes sense. But has he mentioned how he plans to distribute Season 2? Because GOG, Epic, Steam etc won't be an option. Patreon keeps cracking down on adult content and I have a feeling SS will soon follow. I reckon in a couple of years, only the most sanitized adult content will be allowed on those platforms. Sooner or later devs will need to find an alternative that isn't pushed around by payment processors like PayPal.

steam is not yucky on lewd games let alone with incest, anal or whatever i have plenty of adult games on steam and have seen many game developers on patreon put their games out on steam and they are just fine the issue is trying to sell in germany when he will make more money by selling in america but thats on him so god speed. also the steam version will have zero nude from what i know so i don't know . the issue but tagging it as adult with no nude and tagging it as adult and placing it with 13+ or 16+ is kinda weird. when we all know 13+ and 16+ is far from adult and saying the word fuck is not a adult only thing by todays standereds. i mean summers gone is far from being labled as a adult visual novel by any means anymore it's just a visual novel now.

It's a shame that you're not responsible for reviewing SG on Steam. If it were you, we would be downloading the distribution right now. And I don’t give a fuck what rating you would give to it, be it even an educational material for pre-schoolers.

Unfortunately, it seems that others are not as open-minded as you are and are probably a little confused by the violence, drug use, strong language, emotional abuse, nudity and anything else these weirdos might consider adult content features in the game.

This will never happen, because Ocean is not a fool and understands that if he does this, the game will die.

There are 2 things that can make a game popular: an interesting plot and sex scenes. Ocean made a big deal when he wrote that there would be no sex scenes in season 1. People thought that since there would be no sex, they would give us an interesting plot. But they were given nothing for all these years and they became very angry.

Let's move on to logic, Ocean knows how to make beautiful pictures, but his plot is bad. Therefore, the version with an interesting plot is eliminated. The only option left is with sex scenes; it turns out that this is the only way he can interest the audience.

It's going to be challenging to work out how to do season 2. But he'll be doing WiaB before season 2, so he'll have worked out how to navigate steam culture by then. I noticed that on the Epic store he mentions a dedicated SG website coming soon - he might be prepping for having his own storefront.

If I agree with you will you leave this thread?

Am I the only one who thinks that Ayua has aged 30 years? The old version of Ayua looked like a young girl, but this one looks older than Amber.

Maybe she's Miru's mother and not the other way around.

I probably won’t be surprised by anything after these reworks.

Well, looks like some certain one got serious on Oceans discord:

Honestly, I like Ayua's new face better, but her hair style doesn't look right to me. It's okay for gym scenes, but I don't think it's suitable for casual scenes like bar scenes.

i agree with you.

yeah, and also, by using that hairstyle, it looks like Ayua went on a date with the MC, not hanging out with friends at the bar.

Well, Auya is not looking bad, her complete rework don't fit to her age. At least from my understanding.

I'm to lazy to rewrite my comment on SS so I put a screenshot in here.



Don't get me wrong, she looks really good, but ...
