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

[murphy88]

Bro, I kind of understand that not everyone follows the game's news. I’m just explaining why there’s such an edgy reaction. This topic has been the subject of agruments and trolling for a long time.

On the other hand, then why are you making statements based on your ignorance of what is going on? Who told you about the other reasons the developer gave? It couldn't be him because he explained it even in the last year.

The only problem that has come to light now is that he underestimated how strictly Steam would treat even regular topless shots. Well, shit happens, I saw enough developers who underestimated the censorship on Steam and their games did not pass the review at all and were rejected. And now these games have an "Abandoned" mark. But everyone sees only the success of BaD.

As for future updates, yes, the second season will be presented as a separate entity on Steam, which is aimed at an adult audience from the very beginning, there will be no censored version. Well, at least these are the plans that the dev has published in dev logs.

EDIT: Inb4: Haha, he said Season 1 will not be country-restricted but it is now. Haha, looser, lmao, rofl

I remember in chapter 5 beta removed the scene of vic's pussy in the bathroom, I guess for the intentions of that fit in steam, now that he had no choice but to catalog it as an adult, he has recovered that scene or it is definitely out for good? I haven't played the final version yet.

it's one of the book club puzzles. How and why in three devil's names can Noji speak to Kathie like that. It almost sounds like a threat. Where is their connection? And when Kathie turns to the MC she says, "See you again?" Question mark!

I think Noji did the Zane's a big favor and is just very pissed about Katie meeting Nami and Nika.

Katie's reaction is understanding and gentle at first but turns stern pretty quick.


Afterwards she walks right up to Nika and Noji can do nothing about it.

Imo another hint that the Zane's gave Nika and Nami to Noji

I completely understand feeling a type of way at the absurd amount of time Ocean wastes on fruitless and unnecessary efforts. I felt that way going through the revamped heist. "This entire event is a MacGuffin, why on gods green earth did he waste so much time on this?"

But rating SG lower than something like Deluca family is crazy. We have to draw a line somewhere. Almost want to up doot it to restore balance to the force.

you may be right about that.

The fact is: Noji has a lot to explain! IN MANY WAYS!!!

I dont know, i think everything what Nojo does is to protect Nika, she loves them like their kids. Its less Noji keeping secrets and more like Nika doesnt asking questions.

In my opinion, this sentence is a contradiction in terms!

If you never played this game then yeah understandable cause it seems like for some reason at least the download I have doesn't have the warning anymore the says there is no sex in Season 1. But if you played it before then what you expect it's been known for awhile there isnt going to be any.

yah played it today and there was no warning saying there's no sex, I played like 4 hours and enjoyed it but I was thinking to myself "huh it's really taking a while for the spicy scenes..." but I thought it was because the Bella relationship takes a while to develop so I didn't mind it but god damn it's such a waste to not have any scene with her...

Why? Nika obviously doesnt give a fuck who his parents were and stuff like that, so he isnt asking.

ah yeah it used to be a message that came up when you booted the game idk why he would remove that as it makes sense to keep it for S1

 

[minibaer12]

Wait. The MC is still on the wrong track with Amber. He's still racking his brain as to why Noji and Amber pretend not to know each other. To me this is an obvious diversionary tactic by the developer to obscure the real question the MC should be asking.

At some point in the story the MC WILL ask himself the question. It is then in human nature.

Just so you understand, for me the story begin's with the book club. We're talking about S1Ch5 here!

This is where I'm glad we'll be getting more info via WiaB updates next. Whether or not we get much revelation, there will be some new drops of knowledge from there. Obviously, we're not going to notice Noji for a while in WiaB, too much given away too early undermines both games, so it'll be hard to do reveals in either, so some of it will be keeping our eyes on background characters.

It's not there, just that one render cut. But the treats of Vic are full frontal, so I guess it's still the division between the base game not getting 18+ by having anything below the belt on the front.

My guess is it was removed because a 16+ game would be expected not to have any depicted sex, only alluded scenes at most. It makes no sense in the commercial release which has no adult content to warn you there is no adult content, when it's rated to show it has no adult content.

There' also no warning for 'are you over 18' for the same reason.

I don't expect that in the next Ch! But someday. In the next updates (WiaB and SG) we will get some breadcrumbs again, and it is our job to find them!

So, i did 3 runs one focused on Bella, Nami, and Mia (i think, the broke blonde with future back problems), and in none of the playthroughs there were any actual sex scenes.

I get that this game is a lot more story-focused than others (which is why I finally played it) but is there no sex AT ALL or am I just really good at avoiding every bit of naughty stuff?

the big warning page that shows every time you launch the game that lets you know there are no sex scenes in the game was ...

telling the truth...

and you're surprised?

didn't ocean take out the almost sex scene already? [Nami w MC in the hot tub bit of hot-dogging]

In the beta version there was a note at the beginning that there are no sex scenes in S1 and are only used for world and relationship building.

Nah bro, the first season is all about hugs and kisses. No funny business. They promised to release the boa in the next season.)

Well, there's more to that whole dynamic as well.

In WIAB, the Zanes and Holgersons are still tight. Katie and Zoey are in a relationship. By the end of the old WIAB Ch 6, members of the Petrova and Revera families were Zane family adversaries.

Decades later, in SG, we have the Zanes, Petrovas, and Reveras uniting to sponsor a college - ZPR. Members of those three families attend the college. Meanwhile, Mario Holgerson attends a rival college. Yes, it could be because that college is more elite, but the van Halens and Petrovas also fit within in that circle.

What is the current relationship between the Zanes and the Holgersons? Between Katie and Zoey?

That's where two sub-plots in SG will likely reveal the current relationship between the Zanes and the Holgersons, for better or for worse:

- Katie Zane's interest in Nika and Ayua Zane's friendship with Nika, versus

- Nika and Bella's plot to f^^k up the Holgersons.

How will the Zanes (and the Petrovas and Reveras) react to that plot if it succeeds?

 

[Ali ibn Hassan]

That seems quite feasible. But the story, both for WIAB and SG, just feels way more natural the way the evil modder does it.
