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

[BobTheDuck]

So the redone assjob scene looks like there's no need for the uncut version right? So that's a promise Ocean's delivered on. It's naturally disappointing that it won't be in time for the holidays, but this is probably one of the most promising devlogs I've read in a while. Update size has been refined more accurately, Ocean's actively seeking people to take care of tasks that aren't Ocean's specialties, and we've got excellent indication of major story progression with a Katie render, with some shadowy figures in the background. I wonder why Ocean's kept them hidden? The woman of the left could be...

 

[Elduriel]

that's gonna be a beefy boi

 

[wizardcock]

He's got 2,000 renders in five months of work. That's pretty good. Needing another 4,000 renders is not so good. Release in the summer?

 

[Elduriel]

he stopped working on animations simultaneously so the still renders probably will go faster, so probably sometime Q1?

 

[dameromexxx]

It turns out that normal-sized chapters should take him about half a year, so the full completion of the second season is mid-2027. At this rate, it will take 14-16 years to release all the planned chapters, requiring three years to produce the season

 

[minibaer12]

If there isn't another rework of the rework of the rework of the chapters, then it could be that we don't even see the end

 

[yossa999]

He wrote the numbers 600-800 renders per month, 6000-7000 renders in total, 2000 of which are done. So let's take the average of 700 renders per month and 6500-2000=4500 renders left to do, which gives us about 6.5 months to render this amount. And then there's post-processing and cinematics.

I don't want to say anything about it, 700 renders per month is insane performance, there are developers who produce that much in a year and are still quite popular and have a thousand subscribers. And that's without even comparing the quality of Ocean's renders with them.

But it would still be better if he divided this chapter into two parts. A year is somewhat bearable, according to the amount of the content delivered. But a year and a half or more is too long to wait.

What's going on in that bathtub?

​

Did not expect any emergency Katie, and who is that woman behind her???

At first glance they looked like mannequins to me, but I guess it's Ayua with a towel on her head

 

[dameromexxx]

Don't tell me William the Chad went bald
but seriously one of the guys Holgerson meet was bald so maybe it's him as for the girl the only thing we can be sure of is that it's not a MILF it's more the features of a young woman
As for the bathtub from the facial expression she looks more like the legendary infamous evil Nami than the Nami we knew so far maybe Nami is starting to play hard because of the competition?
And it looks like a date with Nia will be included in this update

I was thinking it could be Leia. BUt it literally could be anyone with dark hair. Given the zip in Katie's top it could be gymwear, but it kinda looks like floor to ceiling shelves. The 'towel' to me just looks like the lighting from the window behind.

A better solution would be to call it season 2. It's almost big enough, and if it has a complete arc that works internally, why not? There's no real reason that season two has to have multiple chapters if it's a great sized update. It can then act as a stepping stone to the next season where the branches that are started in Season 1 can be properly implemented. Put another win on the board in other words. I'm sure there's more than that lewd scene with Nami if most of the LI's have their own scenes like mentioned in an earlier log.

Leia ultimately won the bet

My money is on us meeting her at the gym while or after training with Ayua (or maybe that's more of a hope XD)

 

[Mamaragan]

Ocean is making a mistake IMO not cutting the episode into two parts

Doing so would give us new fresh content faster, and the follow-up update would come quicker as well, getting ocean into an 5-6 months release. He'll also have to learn to condensate and make some sacrifices, because having 30 chapters with that rate of half chapter release is unsustainable.

But I can't help but be impressed. 700 renders a month of THAT quality, while working on two games, is pretty insane. You can't call him lazy. I can't wait for the new episode to come .

And those preview, chef kiss. Katie fans are blessed.

Hello,

Quite a few news.

Afterward, around 12 to 13 more apps will be added over time.

13 apps for the phone?!?! What the fuck?
We have the usual apps like gallery, contacts, setting... Others like the Instagram app and the Tinder app... What other apps he could add?

But it would still be better if he divided this chapter into two parts. A year is somewhat bearable, according to the amount of the content delivered. But a year and a half or more is too long to wait.

I feel you, but i´m the one who prefer complete chapters at once , of course it wouldn´t be a problem too big for me if Ocean decides to split the chapter because there are so much renders but i still prefer complete chapters.

But yeah, the wait until it comes out...

What's going on in that bathtub?

I suppose not real sex, but maybe some rubbing down there. At least Nika seems comfortable

A famous ritual from Dune called the "sandwormy drowning."

 

[hahequ]

I'm sure the wait will be worth it

 

[Dr.TSoni]

Only Cheeto asserting her dominance as only Lady of the Boner, only one who can harden it to her will. And she does not share

XD

 

[Adhdclassic]

Man how I love these kinds of interruptions.

I think it's a friendly rivalry. Remember she did it before to Sasha when she is talking to Nika. There wasn't a vital conversation she just was messing with her. Just assuming their family is friends and Ayua was like the annoying hyper active kid and Sasha was the one she annoyed the most. Most likely if the bar scene is any indication Sasha was probably the one who always bailed her out of trouble.

I wonder if WIAB will get this feature too.

One of the things that will catch your eye is the fact that despite the action taking place 20 years before SG, the characters also use smartphones, there are no Nokias or Sony Ericssons in sight, so we can assume that the action does not take place in the 2000s in our timeline.

But for it to make sense, the game had to be reworked to be there from the beginning, there is no reason for William not to have these applications from the very beginning, he is not in a situation like Nika who, with the course of the plot, decided that they could be useful and is only now starting to install them

That looks like the Iranian girl, I forgot her name. Oh Nami did you fart on me.

Yeah, it's not a complaint that he's slow, he's fast and furious, in terms of content, it doesn't matter if it's 3 updates, each with 2200 renders (the size of CH5) every 6 months or 6500 renders over 18 months. But I'm always for shorter updates, something like CH1Part1... CH1Part3. Players can decide for themselves whether to play them as they come out or save them until the whole big chapter is ready.

But I think he's saving the most hated "coding" part for the end, so he can tackle it once for a big chapter, rather than having to come back to it three times for three small ones. He was also probably looking hard for someone to handle the phone code, and wants to release it with the next update, otherwise some of the partial updates would have to be released again without the phone. And the fictional Aurora social network seems like it's going to be an important part of the gameplay.
