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

[anomkarsa]

I want to write something about the release shedule because I kinda get angry at some comments here.

You guys say Ocean has not improved his shedule. Ok let's see he took for the Chapter 3 update over one year while earning ~500 a month on patreon (which srsly are pennys in germany), 1850 still renders and 10k animation renders. For Chapter 3.5 he took 6 months, with 1400 still renders and 7k animation renders while also rendering 10 renders each day for the WIAB rework. Right now he is rendering more than 30 renders each day - last year that wasn't the case. And all that with vastly improved quality.

Now why do I believe he will get faster? First he already did get faster, secondly look at the income of SG it tripled after the Chapter 3 release and now doubled again since then. If some of you here would stop whining how the game won't finish in 30 years and would plegde some support to Ocean he could afford more hardware and even an employe which maaaybe but just maaaaaaybe increase the Update shedule.

I just really hope the WIAB rework will get him more Patreons there so he can afford some more help.

PS.: One reason of the SG 3.5 delay was that Oceans 3090 got not enough VRAM a Quadro RTX 6000 with 24gb would fix problems like that.

How many Nami pics did Ocean give you as payment to write those excuses? Come on, fess up bruv.

share them with me pls

I mean what other events are going to bring both girls and boys in your class together all at once besides class, sports, and dance event?

Got enough the way it is.... You get one!?

Just a small correction, the Quadro RTX 6000 has the same amount of VRAM as a 3090 (24gb). You mean the Quadro RTX A6000, which has double the amount (48gb). And you can pair it with another one to get a whopping 96gb. So a huge upgrade obviously.

Is there anyway to get a full gallery unlock/mod/save? I used the multi-mod and finished the story but it still says I haven't seen all scenes and scenes are blurred out

 

[Garen]

Goddammit I love Bella.

The only thing I hate about her is the stupid anime haircut she gave me.

Thanks yes I meant that one, but I honestly also though the 3090 had less than 24gb.

Only one, but that was enough for me

If you guys want Ocean VNs to progress more quickly consider supporting the creator, financially, via a monthly Patreon subscription if you can. If the creator is given the means he has said he will:

(1) Invest in the best possible hardware, software and sundries like music etc., to produce his games;
(2) Be able to afford to employ a skilled digital artist, part-time, to help speed up production of his renders.

If these two conditions are met you can be 100% sure that Summer's Gone, Where it all Began, and future Ocean VNs set in the Zane Universe will all become available for us to enjoy much more quickly. If that's a future you would like to see and can spare some pennies, consider supporting the creator via Patreon to help remove bottlenecks relating to hardware/software, as well as easing drag and fatigue on the creator caused by herculean solo effort being ploughed into these masterpieces by him on a regular basis.

More support for OceanLab via Patreon means more Summer's Gone for us more quickly.

Simple as.

I finally got around to write my impression of this half chapter:

Spoiler: Chapter 3.5

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

It was a quality update, as usual from Ocean! I liked almost everything a lot: more time from the existing cast, some characters design being a little improved, and new plots and new characters being introduced to expand the horizon of possibilities. Only the ending left a little bitter taste in my mouth as it made one of my favorite characters do something I really disapproved of. Overall, that remains the game with the highest production values on this website. That being said, my doubts about the future of the game are not assuaged in the least, one half chapter in 6 months isn't anywhere near enough to have any sort of reasonable time to release the 30 chapters. That's one chapter a year, with 26.5 chapters remaining. Do the maths.

Fuck I'd be 46

 

[operamini]

Yeah, 60 years from now, it will be an exciting time waiting for the chapter 30, a grand finale of SG, made in ren-ai-py 79.7.3... and it will be a sad time, as that will mean ocean-ai is gonna be retired, aiming to enjoy the rest of his zettabites on his private moon, Europe, far away from any ren-ai-py game...

As a One Piece Fan:

Just started playing this and my initial impressions are very good. I can't help but wonder why the dev chose to name the mother and sister character after sisters in one piece, especially when he kept the backstory. Wouldn't Bellemere make more sense to name the mother than Nojiko? I guess it doesn't matter, just seems weird. Also this emotionally closed off MC is an interesting twist. Usually when an MC in a porn game is an autistic asshole the other characters aren't quick to acknowledge what a fucking douche he is, this one is a lot more self-aware

That might have been a warning about the length of the Story.

I have a feeling that Sasha might be a street racer or a martial artist. In a conversation between her and Ayua, they talked about "beating each other". And could the scar on her face come from an accident she had while racing or while fighting with Ayua in her martial art studio?

from how the scene played out i am betting on martial fights, specially with Sasha having prevented the MC from hitting its head in the gym.

I agree.

But again, Sasha=Summer is such an obvious guess that as mystery would a terrible choice.

Anyone that is trying to build mystery would not so easily flash you the answer.

if anything i think she might be Bella's sister.

I can't load my save from the last update, I get an error is there a way to fix this?

 

[Zakhna]

quick question:
Still no lewd scene?

Ellen might not know any martial arts but she definitely knows how to throw a punch

You are absolutely right. But the original assertion by Talmage that started all this talk was all Asian characters know martial arts, not all Asian characters know how to throw a punch.

 

[Ayhsel]

if anything i think she might be Bella's sister.

Might need to go and see the picture, whether they have the same eyes.

But any reason you say that? I have really seen no evidence as such, but I do tend to not see clues more often that I would like to accept.

I don't think she is either of them don't you think it's weird if she is summer that the mc would feel that she is her and also I checked that Pic her eyes are not the same as Bella's sister

 

[raider_manhc]

love this game, but FFS can you pls fix the saves... it gets tiresome to start over every time there is an update.

 

[XdanielX]

Even though the game came out two years ago and we still didn't get even one sex scene I still enjoy the game and looking forward to the next updates.
So far Bella and her mom are my favorite girls in the game

Keep the great work Dev

 

[Garvelt]

Sasha is definitely the most intriguing character out of all the others so far. I don't think she is Summer, nor Bella's sister, but she gives both the MC and Bella the same strange look when they meet. Like she knows both of them somehow, but that's kinda impossible, right? They would surely remember a girl with a huge scar on her face. I guess Bella might know her if Sasha went to the same school as her and Robin, but they don't react to each other at all in the lecture hall when Robin recognizes Bella, so I think it's unlikely. Or maybe I'm overthinking all this and Sasha's thing is looking straight into people's souls.

how funny would it be if nia was actually referring to sasha in this scene & not bella

there's also this scene where sasha appears to be kinda worried for the mc
