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

[BobTheDuck]

Personally I prefer as was originally, but the question is not what we might prefer, the question is what satisfies Patreon TOS and I don't think this ambiguity will do for much long. I also think it hurts the storytelling.





I am not at all surprised by that, but it has a big difference between the time spend in Nami and Bella. Nami has more screentime with the MC because they live together but maybe only half of this time is spend working on their relationship, Bella on the other hand, every single scene advances their relationship. That is why that it has this perception. When we are with Bella is all about her, when we are with Nami it might be all about her (lake) ou be about something else (book club).

Ocean's said on discord (maybe 2 weeks ago?) that future updates will explain the situation between Nika and Nami - so it's not going to stay ambiguous. The question specifically asked about why the race against impossible odds was even a thing of tension because it doesn't make any sense. So at some point, the issues between Nika and Nami will be explored. I imagine those issues will partially be explained when Nika's in therapy with Amber, as part of discussing their 'deal' (if you went on a walk with Nami in 4.5, you'll know about that).

Nah, every screen with Nami IS their relationship. That's why Nika has a change of perception, he realises what's been there the whole time. Nika is comfortable with Nami in a way that he is still testing the water with Bella. Relationships with different people rarely follow the same trajectory.

Yeah, I saw this message too. On one hand, with good faith, Ocean has a plan to address the weirdness of their relationship. Being a little more skeptical, he just wanted to avoid a uncomfortable conversation in a offical channel. We will see. We know what it can not be, I am curious what way around he found.

I don't know, I don't see it that way. Yes, Nami is pushy - a lot less now - but not all their scene are about that, Nami has plenty of neutral scene/interaction with Nika as do Bella but proportionally a lot less and if you are on Bella path you get plenty of unique scenes where in Nami's you get more flavored text or one or two additional renders.

When you know someone basically your whole life, romance is likely to hidden amidst the day to day stuff, that's why the change of perspective. The sudden impact of Bella is intense on Nika, but do a playthrough where you analyse all the things Nami says that have a double meaning. There is so much, and not just the interactions with Nika, but her interactions with others. On that playthrough, make sure to avoid the heist and stay with Nami. She's masking the whole time pretty much.

i get what you are saying, but we are talking about different things. I am not talking about the difference in the relationships between MC-Nami and MC-Bella, I am talking about player perception, and that is that Bella has more content. One that I somewhat agree, depending in what you understand content as. For the rest I wholeheartly agree, that is a reason why I like Nami so much.

Ultimate player perception is "my LI doesn't get enough screen time", so it's kind of irrelevant to quote biased viewpoints

 

[Pl@y3r]

Ultimate player perception is "my LI doesn't get enough screen time",

Which is true since LIs aren't treated equally when it comes to screen time with some LIs' paths not having even opened.

beside Bella or Nami not many LIs had a moment

Kinda but in this case is not a wrong one, beside Bella or Nami not many LIs had a moment, not that I am complaining, but is not a wrong perception either. Imagine the lonely Mrs.Marla fan suffering cause he only get one render every two updates.

 

[johnsman]

When Ocean said he'd upload the Dev Log in a couple of hours, was he talking in Earth time or...?

Worse, imagine the Elsa fans, Marla get's more screen time! Or imagine the poor Maja fans who Ocean has left high and dry!

When Ocean said he'd upload the Dev Log in a couple of hours, was he talking in Earth time or...?

Well, he announced 5 sets of halloween renders, he's posted images of three the last three days, I'm guessing he's madly trying to finish the two WiaB sets in one day despite not finishing the other sets more quickly, and send them to the patrons with the devlog. Chances are we'll see something later today or tomorrow, once his render cue has wound down.

I'm pretty used to Ocean being overly optimistic with his timeframes, but quality renders are more interesting than rushed ones.

Hey! you promised me not share this thought in this thread... Shame on you... shame

Yes, but actually no. As fans of Mrs.Marla they deserve to suffer

Ocean is really good at a number of things, estimates is not one of them.

I always forget that Elsa is a LI, I often forget that she is in the game. Ocean did was dirty with Maja.

He could release the devlog without the treats though.

Hello,

Sorry that the Dev Log is late.

For those who aren't on Discord, I came up with five treats for Halloween and kind of crashed a little after setting up almost 50 additional renders in three days on top of my regular daily quota for the games.

I kept finding things I didn't like as much, so I spent yesterday and today fixing and replacing some things for the renders.

The issue with wallpaper is that it takes more effort, and if you do five sets with two different settings in each, it can get tricky.

It was fun, and I enjoyed it, but it cost me my sleep schedule.

I will keep this Dev Log short, as I'm so incredibly exhausted and just want to go to bed.

I have no idea when yesterday ended and today started.


Season 2 - Chapter 1

Let me put the current stand, etc. here, as there will be a more extensive section about the Halloween Treats at the bottom of the post.

I've finished another big scene, and I'm close to completing a medium scene with Noji. After that, I will tackle another fantastic scene.

There won't be any previews today because I will showcase the Halloween Treat instead.

I've done so many renders in the past few days that everything is a blur.

I'll take Sunday off and go outside and touch some grass.

If you don't care for the treats, this is where the log ends for you.


Halloween Treats

I finished most of the sets. Two still need some renders for the second setting in the set; we'll get to what that means in a bit.

Every week for the next three weeks I will release one of the sets.


The three SG sets are:

Seraphic Decay - Bella

Bella's first Treat.


Veiled Whispers - Sasha

Also, Sasha's first solo treat. (She appeared in the book club treat, but this is her first solo.)


Voidseeker - Robin


(The amount of wallpapers is still subject to change for the Sasha and Robin treat.)


Today, I'll be releasing the Bellchen Treat.

All sets are set up in two ways.


Some renders are set in a fantasy-themed world:



And some are set in the "real world".

You can find an additional 10 renders

These sets definitely acted as a palette cleanser. They forced me to think outside the box and refreshed my mind from the endless scenes of game renders.

I should be feeling rejuvenated after some sleep.

I'll see you in less than two weeks.

Ocean

I liker her pubic hair, suits her!

I don´t have a pubic hair kink but i´m a little tired of shave girls, sometimes a little diversity is good. Maybe i´m wrong but i remember Nia having pubic hair too, suits her imo. Other girls like Vic and Nami i think are better without pubic hair, but it´s not a problem for me if the pubic hair is short and care.

Nami dosent shave. She talks about with Nia at the gym, unless is one of those things Ocean changed.
