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

[LHDLLB]

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

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

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".

Really? You think so?
Isn't that 2v2 pick-up basketball game one of the last times we see her in the available content? I still found her to be too much at that point...

Give me WiAB

You left out a bit of important context there buddy but still funny nonetheless

 

[BobTheDuck]

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

I called it Ayua's thing because I couldn't about the thing as much as I care it's AYua content. CONTENT. Yes! She can be in a bath playing with rubber duckies or kicking ass. Why not both? I'll settle for all the Ayua things

And at least you have a Nami tub sequence to fortify you before Zara (most likely).

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.

...and you don't need to. I think there's going to be plenty of content regardless of whether you make a million saves or not to see all the bits. Besides, the heaps of content will help fortify us while waiting for S2Ch2, that's probably the best time to wonder if Zara's really that bad

Good point, I'd forgotten that about Mondays. But, yeah, good luck Nika finding time to sleep, he'll be running as hot as Ocean's render farm.

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.

Well, yes, she did threaten to turn every waking hour into gymn time. Nika will have to lock himself in the bathroom for peace and quiet, except Nami's there! Maybe his expression is "fuck it, I'm to tired to care about biology classes right now Nami, it's the weekend, let me soak!"

I'm exhausted just considering what Nika's going to have to put up with.

I still thinking Zara has to pay for what she did to Nika ( tie up him in the locker room ), for me is too much for a vengeance in a university. I think she needs to redeem that, even if she is one of my favourite girls.

Nadia and Robin too.

Nadia and Robin too.

Of course, they are in my list, but i think Ocean doesn´t want us to "punish" them so...

I think you'll be waiting - Nika specifically gets into the competition with her to stop it escalating, and to try to be a better person. Given that his reason for doing that is because Noji deserves some happiness, I don't think he'll risk escalation. There's no such thing as payback, it'll just keep rolling back and forward until someone is the bigger person, and Nika chose well I think.

I've seen it in other VNs too.

 

[Krytax123]

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.

Hmm i completly disagree, Zara is only arrogant about her fitness/physical abilities which she is able to back up but not about anything else. She isnt bragging about her looks or her familys money or anything like that. She is insecure about other things but i dont get the feeling that she particulary tries to hide it.

During the jacuzi conversation she was very laid back, fun and just a normal girl too.

And being competitive isnt her only feature, shes imo very authentic and compassionate (noticing when Nika is down like when he had to move out of his house) and shes has ambition. Dunno, i think shes a fun girl and a possibly a great friend even without a romance

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

It's great that you mentioned Bella off path because at this point I'm starting to suspect that Bella has three paths and not two. I noticed that when you don't completely ignore Bella and keep telling her that we are not that different but don't kiss her she throws a tantrum in the locker room when she hears about the rumor with Robin and then Sasha says that the girl is in love. It's almost as if for the game it was this line and not the kiss that triggered Bella falling in love I wouldn't be surprised if this situation and freezing their relationship in the desert will give us an intermediate path that is a slowed down but not completely finished romance

I'm also curious if it won't give us a reverse-Mila situation in which Bella starts acting like her to get attention. I also have to check Nami's behavior after you kiss her but when she asks you to turn around in race with impossibble odds you do it. It is possible that it will be possible to play as Sigma, who does not distance himself completely, makes friends with girls and makes them fall in love with him, but when the time comes to reciprocate the affection, he turns away, leaving everyone desperate, the scene in the locker room with handcuffs looks a bit like that it gives those strong sigma like vibes

Oh i know... I know it´s going to be impossible to have a payback, i would like it, yes, but i know Ocean forces players in that way for the future of the plot. Anyway i like her character and i´m going to try something like Bella-Zara relationship, even if it´s not possible (I don´t remember if a "trio" can be possible with those two but in this game i just follow my head, i try to play blind). I would like to see what happen so i´m just dreaming about what i would like to do

I think that Ocean mentioned at some point he would bring back some elements of the dark route for Bella. I noticed too that you can have a path where Bella is more into you than you are into her, I think there are two important variable to Bella path, tell her about Summer and " we are not so different" that put you on her path and the kiss kinda seals the deal. Would be such a ass move to play with Nami's feelings like that, I don't have the heart to do it but is a interesting idea. I have a good safe where I am was nice to everybody but did not started a relationship, a clean slate type thing, it will be interesting see how the relationships evolves from that.

 

[JillybeanEnjoyer]

Did I miss something?
there are no sex scenes?
there are a few boobs and ass renders but thats all (I am at chapter 4)

Yes, you missed the multiple disclaimers when you first open the game.

 

[Elduriel]

Yes, you missed the multiple disclaimers when you first open the game.

the steam version doesn't have that disclaimer about actual sex scenes any more I think (but I have the uncut mod installed so I could be wrong)
This is the disclaimer... the partial nudity comment sort of gives it away but whatever, could be more obvious

Is there any new content in the game? what happen in the most recent update? I haven't kept up with he game but I last played up to the point where Bella is reading a book to some blonde girl on the bed.

P.S if there is any new content don't tell me details just say that there is a new update.

No, there is no new content after the scene you mentioned.

The new content in the recent update (Season 1 Full) is a reworked chapter 2, all the scenes with Bella breaking into the Holgerson house or staying with Nami that night are redone, and there are a lot of small changes here and there in the previous chapters.

The most recent update is the Season 1 release. There is no newer release than May, when it was released on Steam.

Based on what Ocean's said about remaining renders or implied in devlogs, Season 2 will be unlikely to appear before next year. I'm hoping for something by May. This week Ocean should hopefully give us details about the WiaB render count, which will give us an idea of how fast he's moving with both games. But nothing is set or clearly stated about when either game gets an update.

in three years of development the game has not advanced one meter, Ocean is a real scammer
