Hmm I dunno, she seems too young to me to be a MILF, like in her late 20's? I usually see MILF's as those that are at least in their late 30's early 40's.

Best thing you can do is to air your concerns with OceanLab directly, demand a full refund of supporter contributions already paid to the developer, personally, and then look around for other games more likely to reward you with the kind of release you seem... well... kind of desperate to achieve shall we say. Sad to say I don't think that Summer's Gone will ever be a good choice as a visual novel for you, no matter how quickly or slowly it gets developed. Good luck.

Maybe because Sonya was Ocean's favorite girl? (now she is 2nd)

Ngl the latest update didn't do much for me, I understand this isn't the complete chapter but the plot barely had any progress at all. There's the Bella date which ends with a nice kiss (extremely well animated btw) and then it's all about the basketball game the next day, that's it. A lot of dialogues that don't really contribute to the main plot or character development and could've been trimmed. Doing this would have let us have the Mila date or the next session with Amber or spending time with Victoria and Mila. The other girls except Bella could all do with more character development and screentime tbh, at this point Bella is so superior to the rest it's not even close but that's also because we spend so much time with her compared to the rest.
I guess this is an unpopular opinion in this thread lol.
Having said that, the songs in this latest update were amazing, I just feel some stuff that don't feel as important here could have been trimmed to add stuff more relevant to the main plot.

At least you are giving your opinion and in a polite way and not screaming at the dev and everyone else. So respect for that regardless if people here think what you are saying is right or wrong.

Lol yep no use hating on the dev, he's clearly putting in a lot of work and it shows. I might not love everything about the game but it leaves you wanting to play on and find out what happens next so can't fault him there.

I can fix that along with many other things. What other features would folks care to have added/changed?

The basketball match was more of a setup for the main school stuff and a showcase of the protagonist mental prowess, it also introduces characters that may be worth noting in the future.
Trust me man, a lot of people think the same, but bella's breakdown and indefinite absence may be a cue for others girls to start squeezing into the time frame of the episodes, the kiss was a pretty big jump and any more would be difficult to let the other girls have a chance to shine.

Ok so after this new update I don't like where the direction of the story seems to be going

Yeah I think the basketall match kinda suffers atm from it not being a full chapter release, so we only get this part now and not the rest. The first team was introduced and that sleazy female reporter who will surely create trouble. The setup is there, we'll see what else happens when chapter 4 drops.
True about Bella, ideally each release should be more equally divided among the various girls so no matter who your fav is, you get enough content. For the first part of the game Bella was really dominant and I didn't mind coz she was my fav (alongside Mila) and now I guess the other girls will get their shine however at this point there are so many characters and I also hope Bella doesn't get sidelined completely as a result.

I was wondering this too, although I didn't dislike it but

Well,the desire to join the basketball team is something that gives mc the reason to work out and to do something with himself. If he would rely only on girls to rebuild himself,he would've become entirely dependent on his partner and if that relationship didn't work out, the Summer situation would repeat itself and he would be at the bottom again. so basketball is really important here.

The standard avn pattern of updates surely allows for content to be divided amongst the love interests but I don't think ocean's storyboard follows standard avn protocol considering he's made it very clear it's a story focused game with adult elements. It just so happens that the audience suffer more intense blueballing cliffhangers because the screentime for the girls aren't divided equally but rather following who's more important to the plot as of now.
Bella is what I assume to be THE love interest. It's very difficult to bury a character who's already gotten so much screentime and such explosive chemistry with the protagonist so I doubt she'll remain in the sidelines for long but right now, she kinda has to.
She's dominated the first half of the game - and the players, us and initiated the first move - the kiss - for establishing a future romantic relationship with the protagonist, reason demands she be sidelined for a bit to give the other girls a chance.

Albeit a Bella supremacist, I too agree somewhat with this sentiment.
Although what I want is to see Bella hanging out at school and interacting with everyone. After the first episode, I feel like she's always only been seen with the MC.

If I remember correctly, in the toilet where we were pushed into a stall by Robin we had a chance to eavesdrop a conversation of some of the girls in school. They didn't speak highly of Bella, one of them called her a "stupid whore" or something in that caliber. ( I can't exactly remember but it was an unpleasant term. )
Others seem to dislike Bella, but they are most likely afraid of confronting her. And what made my heart sink is the choice we got right after hearing that. It was something like "She's not like that."
If you haven't played the game, I suggest you to not reveal what's written above.

That's exactly what I thought
By the way, I assume Sonya is in a sort of itchy foreshadowing. I think Ocean wants to give her the " momentum " for a long time, and she might be the character the chapter is focused on during the next episode, which must includes the game session tbh.
Or maybe it's Sasha who will take the leading part ?

That is very very hard to do if you want to focus in story more than a "dating sim". Bella was useful in the beginning to push the story. Eventually, someone else might be necessary and other characters might have to wait in the bench. Specially so soon in the story.
I have no idea how dev is planning to do so, but some characters will have more screentime simply because of who they are. For example it is hard to imagine a single day with Nami not in MC's life but there is little reason besides college for Sonya to interact with MC.

The MC is pretty well built to be called "spaghetti". Sure when all the other males are body builders...
I don't know how it works in american's universities, but I find the basketball system a bit convoluted. Ok the unisex is just a porn fantasy, but then you have a "first" team with seniors and freshmen ? Next, the MC wins because of his manipulative skill, but that won't work against total strangers. And sorry but a dwarf playing basketball with normal people is just ridiculous

We already know it my friend.
Rember about the partner projects? Mrs Marla said that the teams are changing to a point that everone was in team with erveryone.
In my opinion was this a really smart move from Ocean in the past. With changing teams Ocean can push the story of the other girls further and give them some screentime. Then is it in our hand how we manage the realtions with one or all girls.
Till now i am riddled what is the main story of this game, and what the sidestorys.
