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

[Doomyk]

You sound afraid

She’s shady so I can see why. That plus she’s very cunning and enjoys a power struggle, all things which intrigue me. She also bullies poor little Zara a lot LOL (you go, Vanessa!)
So yeah, she is a G in my eyes. I see her either as a powerful ally or enemy.

Vanessa seems very dangerous, even as a friend and ally, due to her combination of high intelligence, manipulativeness and desire to push buttons and observe with popcorn. Especially her view on many things that from her height may be insignificant, but to others- fucked up. But on the other hand, she can become an incredibly valuable ally in Nami's story, especially on the romantic path. She may be the key to changing Nojiko's attitude towards incest.

What are you saying you heathen, Vanessa is fire
Just don’t let her peg you

vanessa is the type of women that will tell you to put on a blindfold and lay on the bed naked and then come into the room with a body suit of leather and whip.

Let's imagine (hypothetically) that Ocean makes one lewd scene with her in the next season, and it's the only way onto her LI path. The only way she accept you is if you submit to her strapon. WWYD?

...to be honest, this side of her seems as much a part of her as her heterochromia. I don't think you'll be able to have a vanilla lewd scene with her. I also think Ocean will attempt to create unique experiences for each lewd scene, so that each LI path feels completely special, no interchangeable scenes.

Regarding Victoria she looks fake, like she got a nose job, boob job and lip fillers. Besides that she’s unnerving lol
Easily the girl I like the least except I feel sorry for her.

Alas, I looked throughout the Daz3D Store to identify the particular Kardashian Plastic Morph for Genesis ® tool that Ocean might be using these days, but I couldn't find it.

I am all for many, many more tabletop fantasy sessions in the future... wait, wait, don't scream, please hear me out!

If Nami can play as a character with much bigger boobs, then:

1. Vic could play as a fully-functioning, petite vixen.
2. Mila could play as a character resembling her original appearance.
3. Nadia could alternate between characters resembling her current appearance and that of a beanpole.
4. Nami could play as Summer

Of course, all this is pointless unless Nika plays as a male character with a dick that actually works

Personally, I would prefer there be much more variety in SG, rather than most women conforming to two basic boob sizes/shapes (Bella/Zara size and Sonya/Mila/Victoria size). However, it's not my story, so I'll go with the flow.

I simply picture that scene starting with Nika, Vanessa, a blindfold, handcuffs, and a strap-on.

A blindfolded Nika grits his teeth and bears it, for the shake of his plot with Bella.

After what feels like an age, Nika's blindfold partially slips while he's on all fours and he catches a glimpse behind him. To his horror, Nika sees the heterochromia eyes of William while a smug Vanessa looks on from the corner of the room, strap-on in hand.

This is my way of sayin' I don't think I'll ever play a Vanessa route that requires any form of submission because I suspect that, deep down, Vanessa can only hate-fuck the opposite sex.

Damn, I'm out of reactions. I almost snorted my coffee

Although I joke, Vanessa adds spice to the AVN and she's a good foil/adversary to the MC.

As much as I will balk at any dom/sub stuff with her, I would equally avoid any such behavior by the MC as well.

One thing I really appreciate with SG is that Ocean adds real emotional depth to his characters (such as through the masterful use of subtle facial expressions) and this makes his characters more than mere shallow cardboard cutouts. So, if Nika tried any dom abuse, especially within his main group of friends (Vic, for example), I'd want some realistic pushback options from the NPCs, showing actions have consequences.

From the Steam EULA:

You may, however, give gift codes that have been bought through our Website or an official Third Party Platform gift code system, such as Steam.

I think he can provide gift codes for the steam version, or from his own website coming soon (TM). THe easiest way for him right now is to gift steam codes they can redeem, like the Humble store does. The patrons who don't want to use steam can wait for it on P/SS. But the price on P/SS has to go up to the price on Steam to get the game that way, as Steam won't let it be sold for a lower price elsewhere in there terms I believe.

It's simply a case that Ocean knows it will leak if he releases it via Patreon first. The patrons understand the deal I guess - longevity of the project by it being released on steam first helps Ocean to be less reliant on Patreon and their capricious changes. As much as the current ToS changes haven't been an issue here, I'd assume most devs are wondering how vanilla Patreon will go in the next purge.

poor patreoners！！！！

poor patreoners！！！！

Actually, be thankful they're not poor - where do you think 90% of the downloads on this forum come from?

We can only download here thanks to our sugarmommies and sugardaddies on patreon

considering that his average patreon even makes ass-kisser like xxadrian or whatever his name is look sane I dont blame him at all, extend "polishing" stage until 2025 (he himself said its gonna be done before 2023 ended ) and dont release it on patreon anyway...take as much money from monkeys as possible

Cheers!

Pass that hand over here and give me a handshake man, that was a good one.

Fuck, I would decline if I had no other choice. The thing is, Vanessa respects Nika while deeming all other males inferior. So I can see her engaging in vanilla sex with him or even submitting (submission often isn’t clear-cut in girls as with guys, she may see it as a form of power that she has over him).

 

[dojito]

What you are saying is absolutely illogical. Those people who buy games on Steam do not use pirated sites.

Yeah no, I've been on steam for almost 20 years, over +200 bought games and here I am.

Once this game is completed I will gladly pay for it, until that happens I will download it here.

Or she respects him for not falling for her assets, so she has to work harder to break him, so that there are no anomalies, and her view of the world is sustained. We really have no idea. All I'm going to say is Maja might have toys and a dark side, but she likes boundaries, while I wouldn't trust Vanessa to recognise my safe word

I have big doubts about this. Being a full sub somehow does not fit at all with the personality of the MC, at least the way he is depicted throughout the entire first season.

He seems to enjoy "pulling the girls' nipples" and watching their reactions. Almost all conflict situations that happened to him were, to some degree, provoked by himself.
He either pushes people to manipulate them or asserts dominance, or help people he cares for (at least he thinks so)

He tells Nami that he is just as competitive as Zara, but most of the time he just doesn't care.
He tells Amber a lot about his assertive and aggressive side.
He acts dominant and aggressive quite often. When he encounters Vic's gentle and soft nature, he is almost afraid that he might hurt her and ghosts her for a while.

This is all totaly doesn't click with the complete sub role; he would rather fight with Vanessa and turn her into submission than submit to her.

Damn i haven´t got reactions but you are right, i always have seen the Mc like a guy who likes to manipulate people, and that don´t fit with the submissive person. This worry me a little because i usually like this type of kinks, like male dom and femdom, and i´m pretty sure i´m going to have a path being a submissive boy but this path probably won´t fit as good as the manipulative and agressive path

But i think being mnipulative is obtaining what you want, and if you want to be dominated by a woman... then you win too .I have been thinking, maybe we can pretend to be submissive with her and when her "shields" be down then attack, i don´t know if i´m explaining what i want to say good.
