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

[PaxHadrian17]

No harm no fun.

By the way, everyone has probably already noticed that Nick's name begins with the same letter as Nika, Nami and Noji. This likely hint gives hope that the two families will eventually unite into one.

I'm going to hate it if Ocean makes Nick some kind of loser or an actual pervert. He seems like a cool dude and a good father figure for Nika.

Nick seems like the rare good guy in an AVN. He's not creepy, he tries to relate to the MC and then helps Mila when she needs a place to stay, And career advice + he drops everything to help Noji and move she and her two kids into his house - no notice.

That Is the definition of a good guy in my mind!

Cheers!!

<snip>But yeah with him planning on doing like 30 or so chapters</snip>

... waitaminute, 30 chapters planned? And it's taken 5 years to get through 5 chapters, and those being the first ones and therefore probably the simplest?
At that rate, the game's gonna be done sometime near the end of the century...

that's what I read more than once if it's true who knows

 

[Dessolos]

Focus only on SG? If you don't know, it was thanks to WIAB that SG became known, don't get involved because he needs to work with me WIAB!

o really so did WIAB come first then? development wise I assumed both dev's just worked on this game and at some point Ocean decided to make a second game. Serious question I only discovered this game had a 2nd dev in the past a month or 2 ago.

WIAB was released first. Regium was doing the renders for SG but it was Ocean's script. Regium only actually did the work for the first release, everything else was pretty much Oceans. That's why he didn't want it to die and be abandoned (when Regium quit) as it's Oceans story.

 

[Metal Panic]

You don't really have to choose.

Can I finish the game solo? or will I be forced to pick/get stuck with someone? any mentioned endings/type of endings?

if I don't remember before the rework he had finished WIAB,

Idk if this is worded poorly but Ocean never completed WIAB. I forget what Chapter he was on....

But if you mean someting about finishing reworked stuff, then I am sorry.

 

[Dessolos]

SG takes place years after WIAB, both are from the same universe, if I don't remember before the rework he had finished WIAB, but as he did the rework the game is back in beta and only has 3 episodes, but in comparison the quality It's much better than the old Wiab.

ah I see thanks yeah for all the info never would of guess WIAB came first but when you think about the name it totally makes sense now lol.

 

[Fauxcest]

I don't wish for it to happen but if it ever became a choice between the 2 games.

Don't worry, he'll never finish either of them, no reason to pick

 

[Dessolos]

Don't worry, he'll never finish either of them, no reason to pick

Well I choose to see the positive in that. I'll be playing these 2 games till I die which is still a positive for me as I don't need a finished story but content with characters I like Which this game already provides for me

I think Ocean has said you can do a solo route, or a route with only casual relationships, ie if you fuck around, none of the LI's trust you.

Old WiaB got to CH6, given where we were at in it, I'd say it was about a third of the way through, we only once saw the hand of the antagonist.

 

[Metal Panic]

That's a big future assumption my dude. You don't really know 100% if you will be sticking with these two games til the very end. Who knows if the games will still be around, won't be abandoned, put on hold for future projects etc.

Dude needs to work on two games just to not burn out but is talking about future games and working on two future projects at the same time to not get burnt out. Idk. lots of "Gonna do this/that" let's just see how far it goes and what ends up happening.

I don't like seeing people stoked/hyped/in love with this game only to be let down or ditched before it even starts to lift off.

Ohh, solo and or casual? fine... I can work with that. if I can't avoid-em, I'll just friend zone-em. Thank you for this lovely info.

Really? such a strange thing to do really... if he was almost done with it like, why not finish it, rework after? or just move on? not like it looked terrible/horrible before... strange strange strange

You think I don't know all of this? You know there is something called seeing the positive in things no need to see the negative in everything , like you are doing right now just let people like me see the positive lol. Which is exactly what I said in my orginal comment "I choose to see the positive " so clearly I know all the bad like it probably never being finished

No, just being realistic and not living in make believe land.

You can stay there, I shall not, sir.

P.S I don't want you to hurt.... that's all I want to try and help people avoid. Sorry for that.

I don't see it as living in as living in make believe land when I know the negative already. It's just choosing not to think about such things and staying positive until something bad does happen to the project . Besides you can say the same about almost any AVN on this site getting into AVN's as a hobby you have to know there is a high chance it will never be finished.

I think Ocean realised after CH6 that doing an in game rework when he'd made a bunch of stupid story decisions would be harder and result in a weaker game. Given the quality leap at chapter 6 and then the massive leap to the rework, I still think he chose right. He'd basically got th e the poin where there would be massive reveals, everything was basically set up and ready to play out with the court case etc. there was still at least twice that amount again to do to finish it.

So, I heard back from Steam

Everything was alright but they want me to check the "Frequent Nudity" button in the content survey. I did so now and as it seems, the game keeps the lower Age rating with the frequent nudity enabled. (Not sure, I assume they bump it up to 18+ soon)

So all that's left for them to check is if I checked that checkmark on Monday.

So it's safe to assume, that SG gets the green light early next week.



But it is apparently enough for the game not be available in Germany... So I guess bad luck for my German bros, including me.

 

[AlexFXR]

Honestly only thing that can get me to hate the game is if he ruins the characters. Story rarely matters to me in AVN's I like compared to the characters. But yeah with him planning on doing like 30 or so chapters is worry some , especially with him doing WIAB. Which is why I used to wish he would drop it but I read once he is working on 2 games so he doesnt get burnout and if that's the case I rather him do 2 games even if it means slower updates to SG. As I rather him not drop this game for as long as possible.

Almost no one likes character recasts. Here I understand you. I don’t think that this can make anyone hate the game, but it can disappoint.

If I'm not mistaken, the game will have 32 chapters, but this whole development with 2 games at the same time seems very strange and confusing. Ocean needs to show himself to be a reliable developer that can be trusted to attract more people, but he doesn't do that. New fans from Steam or GOG will come and see that Ocean is making 2 games at the same time. Do you think they will wait and donate for almost 30 years?

It’s still unclear why Ocean came up with the burnout story. She scares away all reasonable adults who have money. Just imagine, you got a job, after a year you got tired of it and you started to burn out. Instead of taking a vacation, you take a second job so as not to burn out on the first one. Where is the logic? Maybe the point is that you will die of fatigue before you burn out....

So German users can probably get it off Epic - I don't know if Epic has geoblocking, but it's already a 16+ rating there, so there should be no issues. I'm guessing the same will happen with Gog - Steam seem to have shot themselves in the foot - I mean, one or twenty rendered boobs that aren't being fondled is pretty much the same. At least the wait is almost over

 

[Dessolos]

the best version will be the patreon version right? because of nami scene on the lake.

if that content matters to you yes. I'm still getting on steam as it's more convenient for me. plus im sure there will be a patch made to restore it

Also there will be exclusive steam wallpaper treats for SG on which I am excited about!
