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

Haha, my English isn't better, but that won't stop us from praising the Ocean.

We know almost nothing about Vic actually. She's weird. I don't quite understand her role in the plot yet (and she is no less important than Bella, this has been mentioned several times) and I can't wait for her turn to take the stage.

As for vanilla... She switches from childish to slutty behavior pretty quickly. I wouldn't underestimate her lewd skills.

from what I understood, her accident is the nudge that MC needed to start to come out of his shell and express empathy again? he states at some point that he feels relieved she's better. to be fair, I only did her route to see if there was more content with Maja. Which there sadly isn't.

I was pretty surprised that MC spilled his guts to her in the reeducation center, out of nowhere. To me it was too abrupt to make sense from MC's character pov. I'm not saying it's not believable, on the contrary, he probably decided to get vulnerable "on a whim" and got carried away.

Even her lewdness is cute, she just reads adult litterature. Maybe we'll see her compete at some point with the cougars.

I think that NIka spilling his guts to her/being open was a result of him being overwhelmed by the situation. Even though it didn't trigger a panic attack, I think there could be a case for the rawness of the situation getting past his defenses.

I also think, some of Nika's bastardness is his armor against emotions and panic attacks. He holds himself emotionally rigid or attacks anything that might be seen as a weakness eroding his self control ...so a situation that surprises him might actually touch his better nature, and he recognises that.

I'm also not giving up on Maja just yet, even if it is the slimmest most non-existent path to hope for. She is just a wonderful character.

 

[RNasc4444]

Haha, funny bois. They rate girls and complain to each other that they don’t like this or that one.

But since you've been sitting here for a few years, despite all your fantasies, this is how it will be. Daddy Ocean decides which girls you spend time with, who is important and who is not, and you accept it.

By the way, he recently wrote on Discord that each of the main girls will get her own scenes, but that doesn't mean that each will have the same number of scenes and screen time. So prepeare yourself for that, bibies, and show some love for Vic. Mwa-ha-ha-ha

I mean yeah...and that's fine. As long as he keeps giving us options and SG doesn't turn into a kinetic novel.

Although while we can choose to spend more time with Nami or join the heist with Bella, choose which character to spend more time with at the pajama party or decide to not go to the camwhore's place, I wish we had the option to avoid moving in with Mila at the student house. No words can describe how much I hate that fucking idea.

Though I guess it could be even worse... Ocean could have had the MC, Noji and Nami move to Nick's. Not sure how much Zara screentime I can still handle without projectile vomiting...

Sometimes I wake up happy and I wonder if it was because I dreamt about Zara getting run over by a tank...

It would be sucky if ocean would decide to implement pathing like that (player deciding the living situation), development would take sooooooooooo long even compared to now like that.

And relax about the living situation, my guess is we will stay at least one season at nicks place (ok this is bad for you i guess ). Our tastes seem to align mostly but how can you NOT LIKE zara?!

And moving in with Mila wont be this bad because Robin will move in too which means sasha (and maybe ayua) probably being there a lot, so im fine with it.

A camwhore is much better than the manwhore you all want to be. Not in this game, sluts!

Life with Zara would be a dream come true, and knowing that while we play... all sorts of sports games, RNasc is vomiting incessantly somewhere makes it even more fun. But alas, living in the Nick's mansion for free is not an option. I like the idea of continuing the foursome with Mila, Vic and Nami, and the picture of RNasc throwing up in two buckets named "Zara" and "Mila" at the same time makes it extremely funny.

There's a wide range of possible story layouts between a kinetic novel and a dating sim, so I think SG has a good balance between inevitable story events and different romance routes. I mean, there will be a good balance. Thoon

There aren't many options yet: Bella or everyone else.

You are maquiavelic Mr. RNasc4444... More options/choices=>more renders=>more cinematics=>more time=>more hardware=>need more profit then, taxes arc prolong to 2050

If the loner keeps filling up his calendar with events, I doubt there will even be time at the student housing to have pancake minigames.

Nika better learn to snooze on the bus, it's the only place he'll be able to be anonymous, at least until the college newspaper is out.

I mean, Ocean's shown renders of Monday, I kinda guess he's not going to finish the chapter the middle of class, but at some awkward moment where Nika's caught in a compromising position at the bar opening. Sunday seems full of awkward jacuzzi and bath moments, gyms, Ayua's thing... he'd better get a bulk discount on travel, don't even bother choosing a bedroom.

 

[RNasc4444]

How can y'all like Zara man?!?!? Am I the only one who finds her "competitive nature" absolutely unbearable? The way she makes it her whole personality. I get she had a terrible mother but come the fuck on, you're a grown woman! Suck it up!

Arrogance is one of the traits I despise most about a person but I can actually respect arrogant people who can back it up time and time again. Like Vanessa. She is a fucking goddess, she is smart, she is rich and she understands the effect she can have on people and uses it. I respect that. Zara uses her arrogance as a facade. She is a deeply weak and insecure person that willingly chooses to put up an arrogant front. When called out on it she crumbles like a child. I can't respect that. I can't even pity that.

But that's just my take. I have no issue with everyone else loving her character. She's just not for me.

I like the idea of continuing the foursome with Mila, Vic and Nami, and the picture of RNasc throwing up in two buckets named "Zara" and "Mila" at the same time makes it extremely funny.

Don't you dare put Mila or Vic in the same basket as Zara. I love both of them. I think they both have amazing personalities and will make amazing friends for my MC. They are both beautiful but I just don't find them sexually attractive. I just think Mila can be a little too prude and sanctimonious to be any fun living with her. Nami and Robin are great!

You are maquiavelic Mr. RNasc4444... More options/choices=>more renders=>more cinematics=>more time=>more hardware=>need more profit then, taxes arc prolong to 2050

Fuck! I've been found out. Gotta pack up and leave. My masterplan has been uncovered

 

[LHDLLB]

I dunno mate.
I understand vic is central to the story, and I do like the story very much, but Vic is .... to vanilla ... too ... sanitized? too archetypal? (I know she does not do "only cute things"). She strikes really much as the base vanilla "white dove" character. I hope she will have a darker side to her. (as it's hinted with her desire to look around maja's toys).

Apologies for my english. I hope I got my point across.

I think that all Ocean characters could be described as very archetypal. I don't find it necessarily a bad think but he plays enough with them to don't make they static. I really think that Vic will surprise a lot of folks, not only by being way kinker than one might think but as have more depth than being the cure girl of the bunch.

This updates seems to be packed with content, two days but so many different things happening. My bet is that it will end at the bar opening and something significant will happen at it.of the planned events the one I want to see is the trip to the sex shop. And ofcourse the cabin trip. maybe two or three updates to it.

Duuude but her behaviour is the best for a "hate fuck", that´s one of the things i liked most from Bella in the begining, brat girls are made for strangling them and fuck all their holes! Pure passion man! (After i discovered how hurted is Bella and how cute she is)

Excuse me!?!!? How dare you call it "Ayua's thing"?!?!?!
3 years I've been waiting for that sparring session. You best check yourself Bob

But seriously I don't usually care much about preview renders because I've learned that context is way too important to be making assumptions. Plus once I saw those renders (showcasing the new dialogue wheel thingie) contained Zara, I dipped out hard
That Sunday morning at Nick's is gonna be hard to sit through. That's why my excitement for the update is nearly non existent. Give me WiAB, I don't want to see more Zara

Such a bullshit if you ask me It's like complaining that a cute kitten may hiss and show her claws sometimes. Trim her claws, calm her down and pet her instead of getting nervous and angry because the cat is acting like a cat.

Arrogance is one of the traits I despise most about a person but I can actually respect arrogant people who can back it up time and time again. Like Vanessa.

Yes, because Vanessa will wipe the floor with you and throw you under the bus with the same smile when the time comes. She knows how to control a man and how to make him believe that he is in control of the situation. You will never guess whether she is telling the truth or pretending. Zara is much simpler, all her thoughts and emotions can be read right on her face. And therefore, she is much easier to manipulate. And if you win her trust, you will not have a more loyal friend. And she's just adorable when she's sincerly jumping around the MC out of joy when she told they gonna live in their house for a while. Damn, I fucking love her!

But that's just my take. I have no issue with everyone else loving her character. She's just not for me.

Daym, who would have guessed?

No, no, I don’t mix, two girls - two cups.

Are you talking about Zara or Bella ? I mean always attacking people below her social statut, poor-shaming, pretend to be tough but spent her childhood hiding behind Ayua skirt, false mask of arrogance hiding a deeply insecure and jealous girl. Cries a river when she got a well deserved comeuppance.

 

[RNasc4444]

Pfff...figures

But seriously, I guess I'm the one out of touch. I sincerely thought the majority of the playerbase would find her way too annoying. Especially considering she isn't particularly attractive either. But most seem to love her.

Guess I just don't have the patience to dig through her layers of suck to get to the nice human being lying underneath.

This is actually a VERY good point!

I think the reason is that I never really "hated" Bella from the start. I disliked her mostly because of what she does to Nami at the start of the school year.I just found her mean and confrontational. She didn't really annoy me at any point, instead I actually liked the bickering between her and the MC.

Zara, I found her really hard to stomach from the get go. She can still be redeemed if she drops that atittude. I just don't think I'm gonna be on her path to watch her do so.

Zara is a lot more chill than she was at the beginning. She has a competitive side, but nothing that really needs to be "redeemed".

I think it was mentioned that due to the evening opening of the bar, Monday is a day off from classes. So it is very likely that the memorable render with Bella and Ayua in the classroom will take place on Tuesday

Considering the announced number of renders, it seems to me that if we compare it to the first season, the end would take place somewhere around the date with Bella, which was on Thursday. So counting this together with the day of Vic's accident, we have a whole 6 days. Obviously, we know a lot more people now and our schedules are packed, which makes the days much more stretched out, but it still seems to me that the full three days or at least part of Tuesday is something achievable

I know that Ocean said that the upcoming update will end in the right place and you are trying to fit some known events, such as the opening of the bar, into it. But if we assume that the end may take place on Tuesday, it may be a complete surprise for us because for now we have no idea what we will do on Tuesday and it may be that we will fill our schedule only on Sunday and Monday, just like it was with the visit to Nia on Saturday, which we found out about on Friday

As if you have a choice
Judging by the preview, it will start right in the morning of the day after the first season ended.

Nice observation. The only thing I can think of for tuesday is off Bella's path, Marla gives you detention.
