I just love Nadia and her banana. They're so fun.

Who circumcised the banana? Poor Nadia..

Once you publish anything THAT should be the final version of everything that has been written so far. THAT is how you tell a story. THAT is how you write a story. Jesus fucking Christ imagine JK Rowling publishing the 3rd HP book in which she makes a couple of changes. Turns out the story is actually in 1800's Mexico and Hermione is a talking poncho I can't even find the proper words to describe how fucking absurd that is.

You might have missed what I tried to say, that it looks to me as if Ocean doesn't really count the story being published until a full season is finished and published as a full game on Steam and other game stores. Partial seasons available chapter by chapter on Patreon seems to me as an early access WIP (Work In Progress) draft.
If you consider this as your point of view, you might avoid going crazy over every change in details, minor or major.

Would I be writing a story this way or developing a game, I might be inclined to do the same. Actually, quite a few other devs do the same.
Being an author isn't that easy. You can always see flaws in your story and you want to tweak its details as long as possible. Even after publishing it, make a re-write, a new "improved" edition after a while

I think it's from the egg-room on Ocean's Discord, they put eggs on renders from the game. Although I haven't seen this render of Nadia.

I´m interested in this photo, I think in myself and i wouldn´t like my sister or another woman (It depends if i´m Nami or Zara) showing tits to my love interest. What i want to say is: If i was a woman and i like Nika i would be jellous if there are other girls naked around him.

In this photo we have Nami and Zara, who are love interest if the player wants... They are so calm...
And how could react Bella in this situation? I don´t know if Bella would be happy if Nika and her are in a relationship and he is in a bed with other girls naked or wearing thongs.

No, no I definitely got it. I know it's hard to believe but I'm not as dumb as I sound. I just enjoy throwing a bit of spice on the thread every once in a while and maybe get a couple of people riled up Imagine a little down the line,yossa states a fact about the game only for me to retort with some stupid shit like "You don't know that because we don't have the final version of the game yet".

Seriously I get why but just don't think that's an even remotely decent way to tell a story. I despise retcons. It makes me feel like you don't have a clue where your own story is going. And I don't believe for a second that Ocean will not retcon S1 in the future despite it already being completed. If you feel the need to change or adapt your story, do so with future/unreleased material. never, ever, touch what you already published. Retconning is the trait of a shit writer.

I think nudity isn't such a big taboo in the "Oceanverse". I mean in the first chapter you got girls going bare in public in protests and there's communal showers. Plus trey got molested in public and no one batted an eye. I'd say they're just comfortable around each other and Zara knows Vanessa very well so as to not be threatened by her nudity. Also Nika couldn't care less about boobs without his weiner working.

Yeah that´s true, after all is a "porn" game (you know what i mean) so if Ocean gets rid of the boobs then bye bye . I was thinking to myself and jezz, i wouldn´t like if my girlfriend was around other men naked so .

But yeah, knowing is a game with adult content is normal to watch those scenes... Anyway i would like a character (Bella or Nami for example) trying to avoid that Nika watches other girls naked.

On Mac I am downloading the compressed version of Season 1 and when I unzip the file the game seems to be missing certain files needed to run the game. When I went to the game folder it only contained 3 files: archive.rpa, a cache folder, and a script_version.txt. When I run the game I get the following error:


I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:

When I went to the game folder it only contained 3 files: archive.rpa, a cache folder, and a script_version.txt. When I run the game I get the following error:

Not sure if this will apply for compressed version. But, those PC/Mac all-in-one releases are "Ikea style" - some assembly required.

When you extract the zip file right click on "SummersGone_Season1_Steam" mac App and select "show package content".
Now go to Content->resourses and create there a folder called "autorun".
From the folder where are all the unzipped files copy to this autorun folder these files and folders:
game
renpy
SummersGone_Season1_Steam.py
SummersGone_Season1_Steam.sh

now go back and run Mac application, it should work (in the first run Mac will say it is unverified developer and suggest moving to trash, just click done and go to Mac preferences->privacy and security and at the bottom you will see a message that application was block and giving you the choice to "open anyway". Do that.

You might have an error that application cannot be opened (before app will say that it's from unverified developer) then you need to open terminal and type chmod -R a+x and drag from Finder "SummersGone_Season1_Steam" application (or you can type manually the full path to the app, but I suggest dragging. Your result command should look something like:
chmod -R a+x /Users/someuser/Documents/Summer\'s\ gone\ /S01/SummersGone_Season1_Steam-pc/SummersGone_Season1_Steam.app

press enter and open app again.

Hope this will help.

Thanks for the reply. The autorun folder is already created with
compressed information read me.txt
game
renpy
SummersGone_Season1_Steam.exe
SummersGone_Season1_Steam.py
SummersGone_Season1_Steam.sh
SummersGoneSoundtracks
SummersGoneSoundtracksBLauGrau
The Book Club Wallpapers
Wallpaper_Lovers_Delight

When I extract and run SummersGone_Season1_Steam.exe I do get the files
.text
.rdata
.buildid
.data
.pdata
.tls
.rsrc
When I try to copy those files to the game folder they do not appear in the game folder and I still get the error.

Screw you, Chief View attachment 4745147

Love you too, Headpat Slut.

Not sure how I missed it, but just realised Miru's gaming "sis" in WiaB is named Genevieve.

Wonder if it's Genevieve Coate...

God damn it, William is gonna bang her and be Damian's dad too...

(JK, Damian looks too much like Dylan to be William's)

Bella doesnt seem to like it already, if player is also on Nia's path and they are talking about Nia she asks him if he saw her naked (and she knew Nia is a camgirl)...so i think that some L.I will be bothered by it and some others not.

When it comes to Zara and Vanessa, it's just that I don't think they are bothered with nudity. They even propose nojiko to join them in the Jacuzzi. Vanessa is perfectly in tune with her sexuality and is using it as a weapon. And Nami has been naked around MC for years.

But we also knowsome of the girls are fine with it. Mila has the path that will lead her to posting lewd on Aurora, Nia is a cam whore, Vic is 100% a perv. I don't buy that shy persona of hers

Can anyone make an educated guess based on the past releases, on how long till the game is fully released ? 20 years ?

 

[JustinStrife]

How very optimistic of you.

 

[Elduriel]

probably never, considering the ambitions and perfectionist nature of the dev, potential future reworks, the dev time it takes between updates, the dev working on another game in parallel, and how much more content is yet planned for the game, the story barely even began at this point. So yeah, either game will never be finished, or at the very least some of us won't be alive when it finally does

 

[Penfold Mole]

Well, doesn't it look like a life project for Ocean?
Considering that he dropped an option to have an actual career as a professional of any area he has learned and is good at and dedicated his whole life to learning things needed to develop lewd 3D CG games instead, what could be better for him?

The fact that he has planned so many stories and games ahead looks only positive to me. And the possibility that I will never see the last of his creations is just "meh", whatever. I mean, I'll probably never see Jaws 19 and a lot of other things that will be published in the future after I die. So what?!
