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

[Dessolos]

I searched back to the start of March, nothing a non-subscriber can see posted by Ocean regards this. If you saw it, it was another user either with more status sharing crumbs, or someone starting a rumour.

actually just recall it was a reply someone did to me. Here is the screenshot they posted in their reply at least when it comes to Nami being topless at the lake

Well there you go, that doesn't show up anymore in the general chat. Looks like Ocean deleted his response, or hid it. I'm not a fan of discord, it moves to fast for me

Thanks for clearing that up!

There was a grand purge on his Discord, almost all posting history was deleted.
EDIT: Ah, sorry, you're right, the posts Dessolos was quoting were from patreon-genearal chat.

In the last couple of days? I'm guessing from here on in it'll happen pretty reliably - as more steam users appear who don't know how to read rules. Maybe this was just a reflex action in case Steam are lurking in his discord.

Nah, about a month or more ago. Before there was a history down to the time when Regium was there.

Or they're looking at each other because Jenna's being an obnoxious drunk.

If that was the case, then it would be blatant misdirection by Ocean. He choose to highlight the awkward look between the two of them immediately after they overheard Jenna's quip about William's manwhoring. There can be, of course, any number of reasons for the awkward look, but I expect it will be revealed sometime down the track. I would be very surprised if the look was merely random or trivial.

One wild unsubstantiated theory I have is Eva might be the trans character - when Ocean said they weren't in the game yet, I think that was before Beanpole had appeared in the rework. That's make sense that Eva would be incredibly self conscious of her body. The argument against this is of course Ocean's fanservice to E, making it less likely he'd mess with a character he liked.

Ye Gads! The one character in the game that doesn't conform to Ocean's handful of prevalent female body types... so, I seriously hope not! I'd rather Sai be trans (e.g. the daughter of a former Bulgarian female shot-put champion, who embarks on a romantic relationship with Nika) than Eva.

Your suggestion has now put the thought in my head that Eva is hung like a baboon and Nika knows, hence why her calls her "Beanpole."

PS - I agree with those critiquing Vics appearance. In some renders she has what clearly looks like unnatural, gravity-defying plastic tits. SG/WIAB, sadly, have a remarkable lack of variety when it comes to breast shapes and sizes.

Well, it seems that selective purging is going on continuously then, other than messages that go against the rules that no one reads but agree to I guess this means the only certain news is what we can download when its available. I can understand right now Ocean's probably feeling like Nika at the end of the bookclub scene, and hopefully steam comes along like Sasha with something good for us all soon

Regards the bookclub scene, some of it is breaking the fourth wall, poking fun at people like me who look for meanings far deeper than Ocean put in place. The whole debate of the sexualisation of the butterfly's relationship is a metaphor for these threads in a way If you think of the scenes as a cartoon storybook, you'd notice the shared look, and it would simply emphasise how ridiculous Jenna's being as a sore loser. For what it's worth, her argument makes no sense, it actually makes her losing even more loser like. For Sasha and Adrianna to share a look is as easily misdirection as it is the potential for laying groundwork.

I think the fan service can go either way. I'm not certain if Ocean said the trans wasn't in the game before Eva appeared in the rework or not. But yeah, it's be a pity if he takes away body diversity to emphasise gender diversity. And, if he puts away the scuplting tools for a bit, we would have far more body diversity anyway

If it's Eva, they won't be hung like a babboon, too many tight hotpants in the renders, and her pants keep sliding down. The thing that makes me suspicious is:

- Nika's jokes about Eva no having reached puberty
- and these:

d "I actually meant that question. Do you struggle finding clothes in your size?"
scene sb331 with dssr
"She ignores you and gets into her car."
d "(Looking at her tall, skinny frame... I can imagine that shopping must suck.)"

b "Something else... Stop making fun of Eva's body."
b "She already has to fight with it."

Regards the boob situation, we can only pray that Ocean downsizes things accidentally the other way once he starts using blender in production. All the camera angles, lighting and great textures are pretty meaningless if the characters aren't believable except on low gravity planets.

I'm offended that you don't remember that post from me
Shame on you!

And no, that post is still there in discord, just in the patreon-general channel

Ah see I saw Ayhsel's comment in the general. Maybe it was duplicated, or maybe moved.

I am humbly sorry! No offence meant, I do read your posts, you know I do!

All fine, and no there was nothing moved. The posts are still in the same place like a couple of days before.

After the overhaul of the rules, to give patreon less traget frame, it was easier to wipe complete channels than search them manually.

That was a understandable measure 'cause it seems like Patreon is searching third patry sites like discord or itch for violations of their ToS from the devs.

Like it has happened to Naughty Captain from Summer Scent. They have removed his site cause of icest. IC was never mentioned on his patreon, only on itch was a small text passage that contained "brother and sister or siblings" and here in the zone had the game the IC tag - and this was complete out of control from NC because the game thread was created by someone else.

They have even ignored the fact, that they have tightened the rules just to hammer down on him after that, on things that where ok with the old rules. Well, he has played with fire and got his fingers burned...

So how did the cops ID Victoria when Nika took her wallet with her ID?

maybe Ms Marla could've known her? Also she could have regained consciousness temporarily at any time and gave them her name and Maya.

Fair enough, though it's Vic's 1st year at ZPR so it would be a hell of a co-incidence they know each other.
Any idea why Victoria and Eva are so chummy?:

The girls were showing Vic support as a group for what she was going through. It was just a nice little physical gesture from Eva, like telling her "I got your back", girls do that kind of things with each other like it's nothing.

 

[Don Sucio]

Where are people getting the idea that there is an uncensored/different patreon version? As far as I could tell from the devlog, there's only one version, and those are the list of things he has changed. Doesn't matter where you get it, it will be the same. In the dev log, Ocean talks about things he changed in the rework as part of the 2304 renders he did, not things he changed for Steam. SO when he made Amber's blouse opaque, it's because it was a cheap way to show her pierced nipples, but she wouldn't do that as a professional. Same sort of thing, Ocean's changed a bunch of things, not to censor, but to make it more cohesive. Amber's change has nothing to do with censoring it for steam, as there already is partial nudity mentioned to make it pegi 16. Nami's lake thing is probably a nervous Ocean censorship, more to do with making it squeaky clean for patreon.

These are my opinions, but nowhere have I seen mention of a separate patreon version from anything Ocean has said.

I know people have already answered you but i want to respond to you anyway .
Is just Nami´s boobs, the topless scene in the lake will be censored in Steam version and i love Nami titties so... That´s why i will buy Patreon version.

Anyway i´m thinking in subscribe to his Patreon permanently,if the the season 1 convice me (and pretty sure i will like it,but with all the changes i want to be sure) so if just better for me, i subscribe to his Patreon and if i like the season then i don´t cancel the subscription, is a 2x1 situation for me.

Exactly. Girls just do that. Just like they sometimes band together to show their support for the heavily overweight chick on Tiktok that feels great in her body.
Because she's no longer a threat to them.
So adorable and heartwarming.

 

[Prayforme]

Why should Nami's boobs be censored at all? Because Nika and Nami are brother and sister? In the game, they are labeled as roommates. Or will there be no boobs at all in the Steam version of the game? I was really looking forward to the release of the game on steam, as other sites don't accept bank payments from my country. This is a shame, however I will still buy the game to support Ocean.

Ocean is trying to get S1 a pg-13 (I think) rating on Steam, so less boobs, no genitalia etc.

Then I would hope that S1 sells quite badly, otherwise he might be inclined to tone down S2 too.
I don't even know if it's possible to link the two games on Steam if one is rated PG-13 and one is adults only.

doesn't need to link them. He can sell them per season as separate games, lot of other games do that.
