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

[seniorboop]

damn. does anyone remember that fraud has told us it'll be released late jan- early feb? now we know this guy doesn't even send a copy to steam for review.

There's an unfortunate pattern to his behavior that pretty much describes why the sentiment around him as a dev is what it is

Also, the release was on course for December, but because of the Patreon incident, I now need to prepare the Steam and GOG release.

Ah... Logically, considering the time this was written, he should be done and have sent the review copy off right? Right...?

The cinematics are done. I still need to do some postwork on the polished renders, and the UI is mostly done too.

There is one Ui element I still need to properly code. It’s the screen where you select your Season 1 save.

The last 30% of the game still needs to be tested.

0% chance he would've hit that EoY 2025 date regardless of his patreon status.

I need y'all to know I started off optimistic about SG, but how do you force yourself to look past this pattern?

Also...

I still need to fill the gallery… But I’m thinking about deactivating it for the initial release and adding it like a month later.

Gallery wont make it whenever this does ship. If the UX for the gallery was visually and programmatically complete populating it should be this simple (using the recent Calypso scene from Eternum as an example):

Spoiler: Here be programmer analysis

Even more unfortunately, evaluating his dev logs from a programmer's pov makes them 10x worse because you'll immediately understand just how badly he's taking the piss

Oceans worst enemy is himself.

The update? Let me quote Ocean again......"soon lads soon"
That was written 3 months ago.

So when will MC play that board game with his friends again? You all know it's coming. Half an episode of absolutely nothing.

Hey, MC's screen time with Victoria, Mila and Nia is also absolutely nothing, yet we don't complain...

False, RNasc complains that Nia exists all the time XD

Ocean should remove everyone from the game except Bella. There's no need for side stories.
