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

[Lorenz1]

BTW, since pretty much every character in the game has some deep issues and troubled past, Zara:

- Has some deep insecurities (according to Vanessa)
- Was/is easy to influence (accourding to herself)
- Is extremely (unhealthily) competitive and has a need to prove herself all the time

What do you think is broken in her, and is there more to the whole "mom tried gaslighting"? What's up with her?

31st May - Beta Release. So "Beta" meant you just started to make the episode, got it

I cant seem to reach the nami porn scene, trying to follow the walk-through but nothing comes of it, any helpers?

I might be completely wrong but... Do you know how sometimes a father wants a son instead of a daughter, but they get a daughter and they start treating her and growing her like she is a guy? I think that might have happened with Zara which is why she is so competitive in everything, specially in sports or man related stuff, and also why she has to prove she is better at everything, to kinda say " i'm a girl, but i'm better than you at manly stuff". This is just my take on it. Might be wrong tho.

That scene was removed in Ch 4 Beta. The walkthrough is still on Ch 3.5, won't be updated until Ch 4 final is released (I don't do betas).

this is the latest info on the final version of chap4 update which will include reworked chap 1, bugfixes and typos and grammar check. beta already contains the new chap 4.

anyone wondering why it took so long check last bibi log

 

[Cabin Fever]

Call me stupid, and this is completely irrelevant to the overall scheme of things, but why are the logs called "bibi" logs?

Really? Nick seemed pretty chill to me.

I'd say Zara's got an inferiority complex because people probably praised her "smart, beautiful, and overall amazing" older sister, and she could have been (feeling) overshadowed by her growing up. Her over-competitiveness might have been a cry for attention.

Nope ... will not be untill dev gets through the 600 renders and puts a final on this chapter.

I started playing Chapter 1, and I'll just leave some of my initial thoughts here:

I'm impressed by the renders and some of the camerawork during the introduction, I've never really seen such a dynamic approach to these kind of games. The UI could do with some polish, the classic RenPy format looks a bit dodgy, but it isn't that big of a deal in all honesty.

The music during the intro sequence was passable, but it didn't really leave an impression. I hope that in later chapters music becomes more consistent and generally just kept in the background as the story progresses. Having dead silence while reading the campy dialogue is depressing.

The dialogue is pretty camp. So far, there hasn't been a single line that felt like it came from an actual human being. But I'm hopeful that's only temporary.

I don't mind the classic incel protagonist trope all that much, I can only acknowledge the Sasuke hair and the vague, typecast statements about society, and hope that it grows on me somehow. Man, the characters they've introduced so far are so comically trope-y. I don't like a single one, I've read reviews and it seems like that should change with time.

The creator is a one piece fan though, I don't know why Nami is the abomination she is right now currently but again, I hope for quite the turnaround. Hopefully the writing isn't of the same quality of the recent one piece arc, I actually want to have a good time.

If you have just started playing Chapter 1, you might want to stop now. The final Chapter 4 release will include a revamped Chapter 1.

Well, it seems this VN is simply not for you. That is fine, but I doubt it will get better for you.
Especially when everything everyone likes about it, is something you don't like - at least that is how I read your post. Like, to go for the most obvious, most of us like how alive and real the characters feel and you write "So far, there hasn't been a single line that felt like it came from an actual human being.".
I am a bit sad for you honestly, like when I play one of my favorite songs to someone and he is like "meh, it is ok I guess - BARELY.".

But then there are many VNs with 5 star ratings here that just don't click with me. Good thing we all like different stuff, else the world would be pretty bland.
