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

[Soundgfx]

Overall I agree with you but let me make to comments.

First, I would not say Summer is the childhood friend. The standard childhood friend is in love with MC (or can be) but they are in a position of friends. Summer was not his friend, she was MC's girlfriends. Their feelings were romantic and accepted.

There's no rule that a childhood friend can't be a lover at the same time.

Technically the protagonist, nami, summer and the new girl are a circle of childhood friends.

I don't consider Nami a chilhood friend. Nami is MC's sister. She acts like a sister. Their relation is great even if not standard. Only reason I mentioned the childhood friend was because Crimson has mentioned them when he answered to me in a previous post. Nami does share the "obviously in love" but the setting is totally different, for reasons you mentioned well.

The fact that they are both adopted by nojiko gives the audience enough leeway to assume that their relationship could be tied to a bond instead of blood. Of course there's also no reason for the audience not to think they are not related by blood. Incest patch says you both have the same parents. There's really no reason nami couldn't be both a childhood friend or a sister.

Second, and more important, sorry my friend, but the perfect girlfriend shakes your life like only pure lightning can, forcing you to get out of your shell, makes you lose yourself over her smell (stupid pheromones), plot stupid revenge plans with you that make no sense, screams at you, hits you, calls you a homeless hobo and has a mental break down when you two kiss as

Spoiler: she can't like you, she is way out of your league

Ahh yes, the perfect girlfriend - an emotionally stunted vindictive spoiled brat who masks her fragility, psychological trauma and emotional baggage with a mask of narcissism and pride.



Just as the doctor ordered, I'm all for it.

dude, it's one of the best story written games on here and it's a shame that the developer is working on two projects at the same time. would love an update of 3-4 months.

Not a big fan of the milfs... But man, Amber got her claw inside me.
Imo she is the only milf who has a potential to stand alongside Maria from intox. Flav

That is not the "cliche childhood friend" i was talking about. They are usually not in a relationship, that is the whole point of the "obviously in love" part.

Of course there's also no reason for the audience not to think they are not related by blood. Incest patch says you both have the same parents.

Emm sorry but I don't think I understand why are you going for? is it to the fact they are "childhood friends" with no patch? for me the story is with patch, but that may be just my assumption

You do know I am already in love, right? you don't need to keep selling her to me, I am all hers.

Well if we're going about phermones then Victoria has to be up there as well ^^ (as MC noticed them almost immediatly)

It was different. In Victoria's case it was "I can smell her pheromones" in the sense of she is attracted. In Bella's case it was "her pheromones" in the sense of "MC is being affected".

She's vindictive, adventurous, sportive, sexy af, daring, cute (when she's vulnerable and lets go of her mask) and probably (not entirely sure we have to wait for her reaction to the fallout) loyal to her friends and loved ones.

Repeatin myself from the previous post.

Bellas current arc needs new elements right now to make me invested in her story again as her current arc had a semi-satisfying conclusion.
Bellas current story is apparently on hold for now anyway and I will have to make multible playthroughs again as my saves are currently useless.

Honestly, there is no way to tell what will happen. The queen did have a total break down and MC is barely getting out of his emotional comma. So for now, we wait.

 

[Hotocochoro]

I'm pretty invested but it'll be hard not picking Bella over any other girl, including Victoria who was my original choice.

There was no proper scene in the 3rd episode anyway, Okay, most of this half episode takes place in the basketball court, Author friend, nobody should stop watching the NBA, It started to make bullshit. Definitely the last topic is nice, but especially the basketball part is too long and the episode is DISGUSTED!

bruh .. just the songs alone .. in this episode make this update untouchable .. the combination of music and story was awesome .. tell me .. what exactly did you didn't like?

It's true that oftentimes the so called "childhood friend" is one of the more boring characters in VNs.
Their main trait basically just consists of having a past with the MC and her somehow either gaining a (from MCs perspective) surprisingly sexy body and/or always butting in on MCs business in bad VNs which makes them one-dimensional characters.
I would actually attribute Summer to be the cliche childhood friend and not Nami.
They were always together and were figuratively glued to each other.
Yes she (Nami) has those traits as well (she's sexy as hell and also butts in on MCs business) but imo she is in a zone between caring (step)sister and jealous friendzoned neighbour.
She's more then a one-dimensional character:
- she cares deeply about the psychological wellbeing of MC
- she wants to be together with him but fears MC distancing himself from her if she makes it too clear or if she becomes too "pushy"
- she tries to play MCs wingwoman in the hopes of beeing a greater part of MCs life either by beeing friends with the potential love interest or by including herself in a menage a trois
- she always tries to find a way to be "accidentally" physical with him
- but she also tells MC if he's acting stupid
- she's also MCs best friend
- she's super cute, sexy, funny, caring, a badass, sportive... she's basically the perfect girlfriend
(however there are just too many almost perfect/perfect "waifus" in this game for her to be the number 1 for everyone)

Bella is one of my favorites in the game. Her personality is awesome and the story is great. So is there other game now that they are redoing it.

OK, drop about half the dialogue. I know, its a story based game, but I am now just skipping. 15 min long conversations that really go nowhere and aren't really furthering anything 90% of the time. And, it's time for some sex scenes. Yes, things take time....well, it's been time. The game started in 2019.

And please, stop with the forced waiting in the cell phone texts, please. Utterly annoying. Let us click to speed it up.

 

[Behappy69]

Is this the end of the story when it seems like there is still a lot to go. It says complete??? I hope not. Normally I like sex in the story and I stilled hoped to see that here but I really enjoyed the story and the renders were great. Some grammar errors but not enough to be off-putting. Anyway, I hope to hear that it's not finished. If it is then I enjoyed it and was left wanting more.

In my opinion we should better not know. And if it just to spare us a possible wall of text with pointless ranting...

It is not finished, in fact, it's very much far away from finished. The "full" in the thread title just means it's the final version of chapter 3.5 seen as the last one was beta.

Yeah 2 projects and the 2 are remade on top of that. He's set up for the next 10 years at least

 

[dolfe67]

At the end of the update, how did they remove his shirt while he was handcuffed to a wall ? did they tear it apart ? but I'm nitpicking.

I can understand the theory that Sacha might be Summer, they have something of a resemblance, but then how MC and Nami don't recognize her ? MC recognized Summer's cousin in the restaurant.

And sure there's no sex but there's a lot of sexy shots with those tight pants and big cleavages and some nudes scenes

That shirt stuff was bothering me as well. That made me forgot what they did to us...

 

[AlxTR]

The episode is disgusted? What did you do to make the episode disgusted? On second thought, perhaps it is best if we don't know the details. Our first priority should be to support the episode and help it to calm down.

I couldn't see a section in the middle, he took the ball, he took the ball, it passed with this, there is nothing else, but I understood that this is not a game, it is definitely a visual novel. Those who want to read the novel can open it and read it. other than that, it's ridiculous to give so much importance to visuals and have 0 scenes.

I saw complete and got worried I guess But I am happy to hear that it will continue.

Also, I would have like to see a little of the tag Futa in there unless I missed it somehow. I was using the walkthrough and didn't see any yummy futa but a Lot of very Yummy girls.
