Honestly, at this point background of characters is an excuse for character interactions, both here and in WIAB. Better to simply not think about it, since it's censorship limitation anyway.

Slap "shadow realm" tag on it and move on. WIAB still reads like a shitty porn game without porn though.

Well, some of us (me) like a good story, not just porn. You won't run out of games that are mostly porn without a good story, go play one of those while you wait.

She was sent to that briefly mentioned christian summer camp to get her away from Nika and was diddled. After Nika finds out he enters a fit of rage and his own accident happens.(this is my own speculation)

I can't remember if the camp was mentioned in Summers gone but I think it was mentioned in Where It All Began during the breakfast scene.
Yes, but there's at least 25 years between WiaB and SG. So unless this famous camp was still open when Summer disappeared, I don't really know if it's related.

Ah, but it's 100% certain that Bella became like that after her sister's “coma.” Just like Nika with Summer's disappearance. It's almost the main theme of the game, when you think about it.
It could be a reason that Bella and Nick were sort of drawn to each other, similar losses in their background, with the respective differences still. And if Ocean chooses to go that route with the reasons for it.

Hello,

As usual when I get close to finishing an update, I fall into a hole.
Maybe there’s some hidden anxiety, who knows…

I wonder... shouldn’t it be the other way around? That I’m happy that I’m almost done?
Ugh.
I’ll increase my sports/gym rate to counter this.

I created about 175 renders in the past 9 days + 17 Treat images. (And now have a neat beach environment for later use.)
This puts us at about 7440/~8000.

I don’t like it when my other Workstation isn’t rendering, so I will start the smallish ~30 second teaser cinematic soon.
It will lay the groundwork for the longer one, as they share an environment.

No previews today, but the free Sundrift Treat.
I can’t publish these images for free on Patreon because Patreon doesn’t allow lewd/nudity in free posts. I’m not going to risk it but all of the images can be found on my Discord in a new channel called #Free-Stuff. Including a zip with all images in 4K.

The zip and all images are also here.

It was a pretty bad time to do this treat because of that little hole I’m in, and I tried to keep the treat as “bright and happy” as possible, but yeah, at some point the renders get a bit darker in tone.
This is a good time to make a treat named “Dystopian Echoes” or something like that.

17 images in total.

As always, treats are not about quality, they are just random render sets.

Usually, I only do them when I feel them, but the community treat was something different.

I hope you still enjoy them.

Disclaimer: I remove tattoos, piercings or any other not yet revealed characteristics from characters in treats.

Example: Nadia's tattoo's that were slightly visible in Season 1 are not visible here until they are fully revealed in the actual game.

Ah, right.
Summer’s Gone – Season 2 now has a Steam shop site.
It would be nice if you wishlist the game there, even if you don’t intend to buy it.

You can find it HERE:

If you’re active on Discord, don’t be surprised or worried if you don’t hear much from me, it’s just that any social stuff feels very overwhelming/taxing during these phases.

They come and go.

Is he for real? Previously he was only ever so anxious on the release months, last two weeks even.

He's really gonna turn the entire cast into disgusting bimbos isn't he? Our prophecy, made many, many moons ago is becoming real at a surprisingly fast rate :LOL:

All 3 girls look horrifyingly bad in those renders :sick::sick::sick:

Which naturally makes me curious as hell to see a bimbofied Eva.

i got into the game mainly because i wanted some kind of closure on the disappearance of Summer. but that doesn't seem to be on Ocean's agenda anytime soon. just continued delays and reworks which lead to having to restart the story most times an update comes out. this is far too common in most VN's recently. there are many games i don't mind replaying since most updates take a long time and a refresher is always good since i got old man's memory now..getting older sucks. and sadly the way these devs put out 1 or 2 updates a year, who knows if i will live to see the endings to many of my fav games. and i am not that old.mid 50s..but still..kinda wish i had never discovered VN's lol. oh well..bitch and complain session over.
