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

[BobTheDuck]

I wonder if the RPG near the end of this game was part of the original plan or if it's a nod to Eternum's success? I like what he's done with it so far.

Probably not - the tabletop was in chapter 4 which was released 8 months after that other game's initial release, so keep in mind that a fair part of those 8 months were probably spend rendering the scenes so the concept would have been there already. Looks like it was more inspire by the tabletop scenes in other AVN's personally.

Also, avoid mentioning other AVN's or devs in a game thread, it triggers the mods more reliably than anything else. We've had a good run without the thread being culled

I don't get the hate for his hair, lol. It's not great, but at least you can easily pick out a set of pictures and say...oh that's Nika. Not another basic bitch hair styled main lol.

Well considering that haircut looks like something out of yu gi oh. I'm still waiting for nika to challenge me to a shadow duel.

 

[Ray_D]

the only thing fabulous about nika is his genetics. The bastard has only been in the gym a few weeks and went from a suicidal noodle to a chad with a jaw so square he could cut diamond with it.

Being the MC is all about being fabulous right? And about women staring at his crotch with undisguised appreciation, that's also fabulous.

And about women staring at his crotch with undisguised appreciation

O yeah,wonderful "appreciation"..
She looks at it with the utmost amazement and childish amusement,
while she thinks" I can pull it forever,
suck it like crazy,but no matter what i do,
it will always remain a little impotent shrimp"..

The situation is currently only Nami gets him hard, you've just chosen a slower path to exaltation. They're all fascinated though, great for the ego...

oh yeah, nika has the third leg, but he can't make it work. Until he gets his erection back nika can't reach his last stage as a gigachad.

It is ? the amount of hideous MC that I have see says otherwise, to the point that defies reason that anyone would be attracted to them.

Not even weeks, he goes two times and has a visible muscle grow, if this is not prove that he is William son nothing is. Also that has different renders for Nika if he does not goes to the gym ?

That is easy, just call Nami to help.

Leia and William created it in WiaB, that is why people think Nika or Summer are connected to the Zanes.

Leia starts using it at her club for the new girls, there's a scene where Emilio says that's the title of a new worker. This implies either Nika or Summer's mom could be one of the working girls. Nika's mom would fit as Summer's parents thought Nika was trash. There's the potential that Summer's father knew the girl from going to the club. Plenty of potential options there.

If wwe take it as standalone, all nicknames generally develop with one person using it first as a putdown, the second person fires it back ("no you are") then repeat it enough times to stick. Fun fact - I knew someone who's nickname was bibi and she was German.

There is plenty of links to Nika/Nami and the Zanes, but the bibi and Nami's earring are the ones that I am most curious about. I can see a Uncle William calling them "bibi" or Summer.

Facts are Nami can give him a chub even without therapy, you just have to chose better LI's

And wait for the 18+ rating for season 2 so we can even see the glorious noodle at its most fabulous semi-chadness

I'm kinda being sarcastic about MC's being fabulous. Point me to an MC that has great hair, rather than boring hair. Shaggy Nika and squarejaw Nika both at least stand out. I blame Emilio's hair product, too much tarting up for the 'business meeting'. Nika's hair starts to obey gravity more reliably from ch 4 onwards.

Links to the Zanes are definitely there,but the reasons for those links are completely unknown. Really looking forward to the next chapters of WiaB and SG to reveal even some crumbs to add to the trail!

That ego and his penis died with summer. Come to think of it, nami looked like summer, didn't she?

Poor bella, she had to spend the whole first season using her hands and dildos because her boyfriend couldn't get his dick up.

Not gonna lie, I will find hilarious if after all the tease S2Ch1 has none lewd scene and Nika was just mind his business and fall on top of Bella while they are make out because he slipped on Nadia banana.

Sorry, sarcasm sometimes is hard to get when written. Yeah, one of the things is that I like in Ocean is that his MCs are characters, both Nika and William has designs that makes them stand out, for better or worse. I can forgive the hairstyle, it strangely suits Nika's, my problem is that he does not looks like the time of guy who wakes up 30min early to put the amount of hairspray required to maintain it up the entire day.

You and me both, hoping that the bigger updates brings more story content, his character work is great by I want some answer or at least some solid clues.

I don't think so, but Nami is not pulling any punches and if she needs to look a little like Summer to get Nika to get it up, as a good roommate she will gladly help

This is why some people are so against the cutting of the jacuzzi assjob, because it shows there is hope for pee pees everywhere without viagra. Nami is SG's equivalent so far.

I however think much better to have scenes with Nami behind closed doors considering how stressed she is of being discovered. And the bathroom previous hint Nika might learn how to please a woman without his pee pee pretty early on in the chapter, like the first scene. (bathroom scene is probably the first night at Nicks is my feeling, given the lighting.

I'm pretty sure Ocean has said there is a particular lewd that will happen in Ch1, and there are renders that suggest other lewds, and he is doing scenes for most of the LI's to start the different paths, so presumably there will be some lewd content even in the first chapter. I can imagine there will be some embarrassing situations where he can't get it up and he starts wanting AMber to fix him, rather than just going because Noji says so.

I also think, even if you're not on the CHeeto's path, it's likely she won't keep her hands off him and will keep trying to get a rise out of him. Who knows if there aren't multiple chances to get on a LI's path?

About the hair, well, Emilio is magical, that's why all the hair in SG is superb.

I am not really sure that Nami is concerned with being discovered, is not like she is subtle in her advances, she is more concern in what it will entail if Nojiko finds out and I don't think that she will like to maintain it a secret. Still on Nami I am curious if her persistent is gonna be a point of conflict or not, I think if you are not on her path she is mostly chill and I don't think she will try to sabotage your relationship, now if you are on her and some other path I think she will have some serious jealousy outburst and may try to sabotage.

Yeah, I know it will have lewd next chapter but I can imagine the collective meltdown that would happen if not. Ocean did say that S2 would have a subtitle, now I am curious ic it give a glimpse of the overall narrative of the season, I would expect it to focus on Nika's issues and his relationships so embarrassing situations is fitting to that and a good way of motivate him to get better.

I see Nami as being fine making things awkward when she can dance away from it, but where there are consequences, when it's something she wants, I'm not sure she would treat things the same way. Everyone kind of assumes Nami is mentally stable, because Nika is the depressed one with issues, but Nami has trauma as well, that deal she and Nika made, her trust issues, I think there is far more build up required in her path - as Nika says, they've just touched the starting line.

I always found the jacuzzi scene to be too much too soon, because they're meant to be on their best behaviour for Noji, making a good impression. Nika at least would be very conscious of doing that, especially being afraid Vanessa sees right through him - it always felt like a lewd in the wrong place for a lewd. The bathroom scene I can imagine a better fit, where they're behind a closed door, effectively Ocean referencing the first shower scene that Noji makes weird, but giving it intimacy.

I agree with you about Nami provoking when she knows she can get away with it, but I find the lines of when she is just being herself and her acting with malice more blurred, she definitely uses her position to seduce Nika but she also is happy if he is happy. About Nami's metal stability, every one in SG has some trauma and I don't see a reason as why Nami would be different , her humour is come sort of defense mechanism and a away of express her felling in a safe manner. So while I agree that there is much to Nami than meets the eye, I don't think that there is much to build on their relationship, they already have a bond whether or not we are on her path I think it is more about the manage of it. A Race of Impossible Odds, her path starts as something doomed to go wrong, starts with Nami begging you to walk away, so I expect it to be about make this relationship that should not exist work.

I have talked about the jacuzzi scene and why I think it is important, as the scene in the morning after you sleept together. In short is not abou the scene in it self, is a rather small scene, but about the significance and that is another instance where Nami escalated the situation, to its extreme in the jacuzzi, and pulled back the moment Nika took action, the after where Nami is laid down on top of Nika and he teases her about who is control and he talks of what Nami's is afraid off, is what I missed most. That can't have the same impact now that their felling are in the open.
