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

[Cabin Fever]

I've forced myself out of the Ayua train and replaced her with Elsa because I'm still convinced Ayua is the MC's half sister. But then again Nami is his actual sister and apparently still an LI so...yeah...we'll see where this goes. Ocean's gotta tighten up the script here. The ambiguity does this game no favors.

Given that the game is still on Patreon, I highly suspect there's no blood relations with any of the LI. Nami can be explained away as a step-sister. Ayua is probably the daughter of someone that knows Miru (maybe they had the same master?) but isn't related. And of course, everyone LI's mom had a fling with William.

More than responsibility it gives me the impression of a lack of concentration or consistency, or in short the ability to stick to the plan

This is all there is to it and reason numero uno why I think SG is here for a good time but not a long time.

Dude is the god-emperor of scope creep. Everything is critical path and every stray thought must be accommodated.

He needs a PM yesterday.

 

[Maviarab]

Nami can be explained away as a step-sister.

No, she can't. Not on Patreon.

 

[pupitti]

The next three Dev logs will all feature a render(s) that is on the nsfw level of this one.

So at least 6 weeks of DevLogs, plus Beta testing, plus polishing, yup, we getting GTA6 before this

 

[RNasc4444]

No, she can't. Not on Patreon.

Then how in the fuck is this game still on Patreon?!?!?

We define incest as sexual activity between family members or relatives. We also include larger extended family, which means that we don’t only look at the blood line but also stepfamily members whether or not they are bound by law. If for example the characters call each other sister and brother or mother and son, we will review the content as incest.

If this is how Patreon themselves view the situation then how is SG still on there? Noji, Nami and the MC act as a family, live in the same household and the kids even refer to her as "Mom". Whether they are step silings, half siblings, adopted or whatever, they still live as a family. I just don't understand.

it's fucking disappointment. when he said he'd make two games at same time, we actually didn't believe it he can make it and we realised eventually he will felt burnout and will abandon these games. just like other devs. it's so sad to see that Ocean is just another liar who can't keep his promises and keep lying his supporters again and again. I just stopped my 50 f*cking dollar patreon membership because altough I'm so excited to play those games, at this point I can't see any future of these games. while we don't get an update within 1.5 year development time, how can I believe those 40 episodes SG and 30 episodes WIAB will complete at some day in future...

Summer's Gone - Season 2 - Chapter 1 - Dev Log #27
Hello,

New renders created over the past 12 days: 331 (117 for SG)

New SG animations: 2

Current still render count: 5097

Still on the lower side of the renders due to the big scene and finishing touches of the other, about-to-be-finished project.

I've taken yesterday to test the timings for different animations. I have a big whiteboard here and it's now full of animation timings and a few drawings of tiddies.

At first I tested how many frames it really needs to have a good boob jiggle, then I did the same with the ass, hair, thighs, nipple piercings, and ear-rings.

The boob tests gave me a good base to work with. With hair I'm kinda familiar as OG SG players will know.

Anyways, I can probably do 2-3 lewd animations a day now. They take significantly longer to set up, but the detail speaks for itself.

Said knowledge will come in handy as soon as SG needs it.

Extras
With the new Chapter I will introduce collectibles and new viewpoints.

I still have to code it in, create a gallery for it, and render 47 collectible renders. (CH1 to CH4)

It would be weird if the first three Chapters didn't have any to collect, so I'll add them there too.

Collectibles

Collectibles are extra images that you can unlock.

With Season 2 Chapter 2 I'll introduce another sort of collectible. It's awesome but requires a sophisticated design and we're still working on that.

Different viewpoints.
Sometimes the leaf won't unlock a render and instead it shows you a different point of view... and sometimes even behind closed curtains...

As soon as the update is live, I'd love some feedback on those two thingies.

Other stuff:
I've picked up a Python course again. While I never plan to become a first class coder, I'd like to have a base understanding of what's going on.

What led me to do it is that Blender is also based on Python, and while I never planned to create my own addons/scripts, it might be a way to cut down mundane work in the future.

Even something as "simple" as a random-dresser for background characters would go a long way.

I'm enjoying the course, and whatever I learn, I immediately try out in Ren'Py itself. It gave me a few neat ideas. (Hour-long freeroams... just kidding.)

Preview
Today's preview is something I'd normally never show... However, it's not really that big of a secret.

The next three Dev logs will all feature a render(s) that is on the nsfw level of this one.

With the S2 CH1, you'll also be introduced to optional fetish routes that you and girl X can develop over time.

Exhibitionism, for example.

I have a neat idea to display this as some sort of a skill tree... I'll preview this in the future to get some feedback on it.

As soon as I'm done with the other project, it will be put on pause until this behemoth SG update is out.

Back to work.

(I think you can download the 4K version this way)

Oh my gosh finally! I cant wait for Summers Gone Season 2 Chapter 1 to finally come out and get 5 reworks! I am so excited to finally experience peak reworks again from rework gods Ocean!

 

[Gwanda]

He avoided mentioning WIAB by name a couple times now, calling it "Other project", is he renaming it or is he avoiding getting in trouble with Patreon by not connecting SG to WIAB?

 

[Maviarab]

Then how in the fuck is this game still on Patreon?!?!?

If this is how Patreon themselves view the situation then how is SG still on there? Noji, Nami and the MC act as a family, live in the same household and the kids even refer to her as "Mom".

She's his roommate remember. If step sister....they will never fuck...not while it's on Patreon.

 

[dojito]

I guess the collectibles he is talking about is for WIAB, right? Cuz he said CH1 to CH4, but in SG we have 5 Chapters in S1 and 1 chapter in S2.

I would love to have collectibles also in SG tho...

 

[Miranha157]

This dude should get a life, I mean keep a word. This is pathetic in terms and conditions. 1,5 year for an update is bad, really bad. And instead of focus just on history, he still is doing his benchmarcs, making courses and placing orders for nvidia 60xx.

Nobody need this "other wievpoint perspective" or other annoing innovations, just story and renders, not even anymations.

Excuses, he makes up an excuse every month. I wonder if he has a vision problem, damn man, a 49' monitor, the TV in my living room is 50'. He can only stand up and look at the monitor.

 

[Miranha157]

does that mean WIAB update is finished? because this guy said so and we can allocation all PC's into SG update

Left to do:

• Lewd animations (Currently worked on)
• Main cinematic
• Postwork (Currently worked on)
• Insult Katie (Done)
• Testing (Currently worked on)

In June he finishes

 

[Miranha157]

it's fucking disappointment. when he said he'd make two games at same time, we actually didn't believe it he can make it and we realised eventually he will felt burnout and will abandon these games. just like other devs. it's so sad to see that Ocean is just another liar who can't keep his promises and keep lying his supporters again and again.

Yes, the collectibles are for WiaB, if you go to the thread you can see the list. SG will have collectibles but in Ch2, maybe he does for Ch1 also has he did for WiaB but only in the next update.

Man, while I love his games and what his vision is, this is getting on my mind. Just stop this viewpoint bullshit and fetishes and skill tree. You can't deliver an update bacause you'll abandon your games if you don't do two things at a same time AND YET, he wants to add piles of bullshit on his project just for what? Increase the times between the updates? In SG who the fuck cares about skill tree and viewpoint shit?

 

[Old Man Al]

it's fucking disappointment. when he said he'd make two games at same time, we actually didn't believe it he can make it and we realised eventually he will felt burnout and will abandon these games. just like other devs.

I wouldn't generalize. Every human being has a different breaking point.

it's so sad to see that Ocean is just another liar who can't keep his promises and keep lying his supporters again and again.

Like you just seem to had yours.

Looks like you've got a limited time before you need to find a new joke. Better post this a lot while it's still fresh...

 

[yossa999]

I just don't understand

Maybe a picture will help.

 

[Calz]

Bruh the next update could be like November at this point.. yikes.

Very likely

This is all there is to it and reason numero uno why I think SG is here for a good time but not a long time.

Sadly I am inclined to the same conclusions.
