Ren'Py - The Wants of Summer [v0.28 Patreon] [GoldenGob]

Quite a charming game! A somewhat unique style, in terms of models, that grew on me! Soundtrack is pretty decent. Animation is a bit wonky in some regards I feel, but it's not too big an issue. I liked the characters too! Liz is cute! Story had a few surprises, so I'll look forward to seeing how it all turns out!

Pretty great game for a first release. There was more content than I expected, the girls are all quite attractive, there were no major bugs that I noticed.

Some criticisms:

• Navigating through areas is pretty tedious.
• There's a lot of grinding required, and it's not very fun to do.
  • In the long term, maybe smaller rewards for getting to certain relationship levels before the big events could make the player feel like their grinding is worth something.
• The rendering is weird in some scenes. The

• MC's dick is a weird shape, even for its size. I don't know if that's intentional, but it really threw me off.

Some great stuff:

• The character models are excellent. Sometimes you just want enormous tits on small characters, and this game has got that.
• There was way more content than I expected for a first release. 17 scenes is enough for a small game, but this is just the first release.
• The Kate and Liz characters feel pretty real, even if they are a bit cliche.

5 stars for potential, initial game size, character models, and some of the characters personalities.

A nice game with a great foundation and unique art style style. Still a little rough around the edges but could have a bright future. The story isn't too absurd but is still fun and obviously unrealistic.. Has a decent amount of content for its initial release as well.

I like the well shaped boobs.

But it's all in such low resolution, with disturbing effects, bad textures and absent animations.

It's grindy. You'll be moving back and forth doing the same things over and over, until something happens. Click click click click.

Environments are fairly bad, but not awful.

Characters are shallow, and if there is a story i didn't catch it.

The Wants of Summer is a game where you will either love it or hate it. I fall into the prior. I adore these characters and scenarios. Cg's and animations are great. If you like thicc big titted women and a slight grind then this is for you.

I wanted to like this game. The art style, while not to everyone's taste, is unique, and at least amusing to me. What kills the game for me, and to me shows that the developer hasn't read reviews for similar games, is the grind. I decided to just concentrate on one character (Kate), and ran her relationship up over 200. With the exception of one kiss that happened very early on, there has been exactly zero progression in scenes. The quest log just says I need to advance my relationship with her. Either the quest log is wrong, and there is a requirement that's not listed, or that's a totally stupid amount of grind.
Once more for the devs who haven't been paying attention: Grind isn't fun, and adds nothing to your game except inflating your play time numbers.
This one goes in the "Don't Bother" folder, and yes, I actually have a folder by that name to keep track of bad games to I don't accidently waste my time.

I like the soundtrack, its really nice and suits the game. Character models are in my taste and the game itself has simple but nice visuals. As of now there are two animated scenes, I think? and they are good quality.

Looks promising and the characters are right up my alley. I hope the developer continues to work on this game. because of the simplicity of models it has the potential to contain a lot of content in every single update. I suggest adding "optional" trans(top/bottom) content in the future updates as well.
