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

[HarryDubois420]

Hell yeah only 10 days and SG will get 100% render priority, we will soon witness fast progress, and hopefully the update in June/July ( just some hope at least ) meanwhile we can enjoy WIAB ch 4 in March? right?

I'd say April for WIAB. He still needs to do testing and proofreading after that.

Oh, we'll definitely be enjoying some updates in March, just not sure about WiAB.

He's referring to the game that got it's page deleted by patreon of course. Not a third game. He can't refer to it for obvious reasons.

Damm, I seem to recall that event, but not the details involved. I think I remember the other active game (WiAB) he has got its Patreon taken down, but nothing else beyond that, it seems it was around April Fools as well. But I got this weird memory that it wasn't supposed to be 2 games, but more.

My brain might be fried cause of the incredible amount of chapters and seasons left, and the haunting feeling that we might not even be alive by the time this game is completed, so I might be confusing the amount of chapters left with the weird thought of believing that Ocean had in mind making more than 2 games.

Oh there are more games planned, I think it was going to be 5, but Ocean's currently thinking 4. I don't think he'll risk adding another until one of the current two are finished. Other that that, both games arehealthier than they were yesterday, so I'll take all the little wins I can

Good BobTheDuck, thank you! Due to my condition, I can't recall things as well as before, so I honestly thought I was making that up, or somewhere along the line I switched timelines, and on this one, Season 2 hasn't been released either lmao.

I do have higher hopes than a year ago about the ending of the Oceanverse tho. His workstation has improved significantly, he learned, and improved, so things might not need as many "retouches" as past updates, and who knows, with pc-related items getting better, these projects got more chances to see the end than some of us initially thought otherwise long ago.

I think it's early to be optimistic about the gains of the work station - the truth is everyone spends up to their capacity in creative fields, it's hard not to. Currently the workstation can render faster than Ocean can pose scenes (except for the mammoth scenes he's now creative with over 30 characters). SO the limit now is how creative Ocean is, and how hocused he can be. THe technology will keep speeding up, but tht human limitations of having to think up the scenes are no going to remain the ceiling for the foreseeable future.

I know this is going to be a big update and all that, but going more than a year without any type of new content is crazy business. We are essentially right back to where we were 2-3 years ago.

I don´t like it but you are right... This new chapter could be the grave or the impulse for Ocean´s work. Anyway i still thinking he is going to achieve his goals, and if i´m not wrong he has always said this new chapter is going to be really good for people who expect lewd content for real (blowjob? Handjob? Thigh sex?).

We will see.

For now i choose to believe, but my wallet is worried

 

[AlexFXR]

All this can be done in a day, well, maximum 2 days. It does not take much time.

Hello,

Newly created and rendered scenes in the past 12 days:
461 images + 6 animations.
190 of them were for SG.

Current render count:

SG: 4790 -> 4980 (+190)

It's fewer renders than before, but that's simply because I'm working on a scene with 45 people in it. Immersion is important, so I do have to pose all visible characters every few renders.

I can render around 30 of these giant scenes a night.

I'm about to finish the rendering process for a different project. Afterward, I'll focus entirely on SG - S2 Chapter 1.

I've built a decently sized SFX and ambient sound/drone library. In my "free time," I'm also working on a simple ambient song.

My designer and I have come up with a fantastic idea for some in-game collectibles.

However, I already have so much to do that they must wait for Chapter 2.

The queue didn't run for two days because I had scenes with 34 visible people, which were too big for the A6000s.

It was the fault of a G9 character that, for some reason, used up 11GB alone. I had to re-open all of them and adjust the settings, but the queue is working again.

I took the 23rd partially off because we had elections in Germany.

Around 10 more days until SG gets 100% render priority.

Preview:
I thought I would just use a random number, and whatever it lands on, I'll show for a preview. 4K attached.
T - Alarm.

I was randomly listening to some older songs the other day, and Mazzy Star's - Fade into You came on, and it gave me the idea for a Treat set down the line.
It is a retro themed set, and because it would heavily rely on editing, I did a little test with Bellchen.

I'll prepare a small retro Treat for the release of Season 2 CH1. It will be released together with the Noji Treat.

Back to work.

Dev should take a course in scene rendering optimization because what tf would the reason be to have 34 characters on the screen at the same time in the same render?! And even if it was, I doubt more than 7 would be on focus while the rest can be rendered out of focus in the background or something, probably a club or sport match scene.
Not even AAA game devs fully render models when they are in a large number.
Now I understand why updates take more than a year to be done because the dev has no ability to optimize scenes and renders it seems. GG

 

[Massagecook01]

other AVN developers and Ocean must be good friends with the time delay and no update for over a year we are already on 1 year and 3 months . and still not a single update and i mean 1 chapter we are not getting 2 or 3 chapters but 1 and he can't even put it out within a year we don't even know when it's coming out it could be december and nobody will say shit but be soooo happpy for it to be out not acknowledgeing it was over a year and several months for 1 chapter. all we get is pictures of renders to hold us down and ignite the fire of excitement of the coming whenever update like yall know when it's coming out soon and soon means a year and so many months. but god forbid yall say anything and hold your precious developer accountable it's like you get some good feeling for throwing your money away but hey it's your money it doesn't mean anything to you so good for you i guess.

you should be careful by stating reality 'cause that will put you in the crosshair of the Ocean simp army lurking on this forums

I am curious with the preview. Seems like is at Nick's house, I just can not think of a reason as to why one the twins would be naked at his house, it reminds me of the first previews with Zara and Nadia.

I've dealt with them before they love them some Ocean and summer's gone, it does not matter how long a update takes it could be 2 years like some other AVN's have taken to come out with a update. Ocean can do whatever he wants and his fans will make it seem like the best thing since peanut butter and jelly, it really amazes me the level of devotion his fans have it's not like they get a update every 3 months or 6 months but it's a year and so many months in between and we don't get a lot of story progression for the amount of time we wait thats my issue but hey if they are happy then i'm ecstatic for them.

Maybe some funny +18 game? Something like truth or dare or this game i never get the name properly in english: I have never ever? (Something like that, in my language is "Yo nunca"

I think Ocean is taking the workstation out for a spin to see what the limits are in terms of scenes it can render.

He shared details about one huge scene that I doubt more than a handful out of the thousands of AVN creators have attempted.

This is the first time Ocean has mentioned a scene this size in the 4+ years I've been following him and, from what I've seen of his work - he can optimize his scenes just fine.

He just got a Ferrari of a workstation - OC he is going to see how it handles the track and the curves!

Cheers!!

Maybe but seems early too that, this are party plays, I guess it could ba jacuzzi scene, I am just curious as to what is the reason

 

[Tairnel]

please don't start a 3rd game, please don't start a 3rd game

Every single sg fan here collectively shat their pants just now

This is another trick to drag out development time, for example, DPC dragged out time by making animation at 60 FPS.

Are you seriously talking about good optimization of Ocean? Your words sound more like trolling or a stupid joke. It is shocking when you watch a video of an ordinary guy from the Internet, making his renders on an old 1080ti no worse than Ocean on his workstation and at the same time much faster. After watching such videos, his fans begin to have questions, what is wrong with Ocean and his workstation, which should be 10 times faster than 1080ti? And then Ocean is surprised why no one believes him.
