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

[Razrback16]

I'm a little panicking right now, wondering if hooking up with other MILFs at the book club will have a bad effect on my future on Amber's path?

No one knows at this point but you have to think of it from the angle Ocean has talked about - his intention is for things to happen in the background, including other characters talking to each other. So if you're flirting with Jenna, and then she walks away and then you're holding Anna's hand, all these women are seeing this, and they all know each other and talk to each other (this book club is essentially a hen house full of gossiping women). So is it gonna get back to Amber that you're flirting with all these women at the book club? Probably. Will it affect anything on her route so early? This is unknowable at this point. Maybe Ocean will write the route to be forgiving if you commit to her later, or maybe it won't. We'll just have to wait and see.
I told Jenna I wasn't interested in her, and then I refused to hold Anna's hand for exactly the reason mentioned above.

Guaranteed later on too if you're on a route with Amber, gotta keep in mind, her sister works at the school so if you're fucking around at the school, she's probably going to hear / see / find out and tell Amber. We all will have to be mindful of these things as we play.

You never know how little details are going to affect future actions. For example, depending on your prior choices Mila will forcefully kiss you at Vic's if you go on a walk with her, even if you're in Bella's path and you have voiced you have feelings for her, which might impact your relationship with Bella in the future (even if it wasn't MC's fault).

I religiously ignored the milfs in Amber's path, but if you're really that worried you could always make 2 different paths: One where you accept their advances and one where you ignore them.

Yup, I've noticed the same thing, so that's why I'm a little panicky, but I have to admit that if you want to go the Amber route, from a mature point of view, it's better to be smart and cautious than a horny teenager, which brings me to the question of whether MC (me) wants to have sex or choose the girl of my dreams. Thank you for your answer

Thanks for your answer, because we don't know exactly what Amber's storyline will be at this point, I think I'll resist the temptation to stick with Amber's team, even after a season of no progress

For Bella, her relationship and dating history is unclear, but looking at it so far, she has a lot of experience hehehe


maybe he just watches porn that doesn't use sex toys

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BTW, from what I've heard so far, that smoking scene has been removed.

Ocean said months ago he removed only Mila's smoking habit cause he said something along the lines "Cause smoking is the most stupid habit a poor person can have, it drains your money", and it's kinda true. If Mila is saving everything she can to get out of her abusive home, it makes sense she wouldn't be wasting in constantly in cig packs.
Despite Bella constantly mocking Nika's economic status, he's not dirt poor, so I imagine he can indulge himself.

Adrianna looked like one particular female from one of "usa" doujin("Your man will arrive in 45 minutes"). And im gonna wait for future content w her so hard

I see the Dev still doesn't know anything about university.
He's written and rendered the whole thing like it's high school 2.0.

Oh no two students had sex? Quick call the president!
NEWS AT SIX! Students in university allegedly had sex!

Also even the idea that a midget would have any chance to get into a D1 basketball team is hilarious, as is the idea that a roid junkie wouldn't get tested out nearly immediately.

I think even in the "school" bathroom scene one of the women said something about leaving before they get detention.
Detention? Really? In uni?
How are you going to put adults into detention?

There are so many more examples [like being on some sort of sport rotation throughout the year? That's still a high school thing.] just don't write based on source material you have no understanding of.

Then there is not having a driver's license because it's expensive ... really? Maybe in some weird shithole country, but then the story is set in a western country where a driver's license costs next to nothing.
In western countries the government wants people to drive, because driving means buying vehicles, fuel, paying taxes and thus working, which is a net positive for the economy.
They don't want to put stupid barriers, like making the license expensive, in place because that then lifts the average age that people would be driving.




Nami seems to have forgot that earlier she said the temperature in Celsius, when telling Sonya that she should wear less because it was going to be 36C that day.



This does not deserve the 4.5 star rating it has.

That's not how addictions work, it's not rational, no matter how much money you have or want to save. If the explanation is that being bad for health, he prefers not to incorporate it or that he doesn't like it or that they banned smoking in Steam, it is acceptable and understandable, but trying to explain it because "a poor person should not smoke", ufff, that is wrong on too many levels.

There is a HUGE difference between Western universities and college versus European and other countries' versions of the same.

 

[Salazar White]

The renders got me, i'll give a try.

 

[Tysonator2000]

I don't want to ruin your enthusiasm, but there is a little problem here. Bella's sister, like Amber, Claire and Bella too is blonde, Summer, on the other hand is dark brown. And MC would probably recognize Summer, if she was on the picture, in Bella's room.

I joked about how ridiculous it'd be if Summer was just there the whole time, much like a soap opera. I wasn't being serious. Women dye their hair constantly, so being a blonde isn't an argument. Summer came from a rich family, and they looked down on Nika for being poor. Amber would've kept him away from Bella, if it was the same mom. The sister looks like Bella's twin. If anything, Summer would look more like Eva, rather than Bella. Elsa's the only known relative that's been encountered so far, then again Summer's last name is never given. There's good odds she has other family we have seen, just not revealed yet.

Maybe I didn't explain myself: He made it as if Mila has never ever smoked, cause she knew starting the habit would drain her money. Not that she simply stopped smoking at some point: She never started it.
Just like original Nika, original Vic and original Bella had some personality tweaks, Mila got hers.
It's just me, but I don't think Ocean ever said 'A poor person should never smoke'. I saw it more as him wanting Mila to be smarter and simply tweaking her initial liking to nicotine.

I was in art school when I was younger, and constantly running out of money to get my art supplies, so I know for a fact that a poor person can smoke, and they'll manage to get money for their cigs if they really want to

Beyond the fact that she never smoked in this version, Ocean's explanation for deciding not to smoke, is what is wrong. And you saying that somehow it is kinda true, is what made me answer your post, besides I had already answered Mortarion's post where he showed the Log where Ocean explained his decision.

Found it...

Still, I'm sorry if I sound aggressive or against you, it just seems a bit inappropriate for Ocean to express himself this way.

It is a valid point; addiction doesn't have any barriers. It is also a valid point to say that feeding a very expensive habit (plus the medical costs that come with it) is certainly one of the stupidest things a person can do, including poor people. I don't think he is saying poor people are stupid, or that poor people who are smokers are stupid. He is saying that of all the things that poor people don't have money for, continuing to support that habit is stupid (for anyone, more so if you can't afford anything else).

 

[Bombmaster]

smoking cig is outdated tbh, Young peope are vaping or smoking cannabis.

It would be too long a debate and totally out of topic to go into this matter. Just to say that the more things you lack, the more you will look for immediate gratification, the less projection for the future, the more likely you will fall into the different traps of the immediate. So, let's agree not to agree and leave this topic aside.

The mod so badass it apparently can't be listed in the OP!
By request: Includes the original Jacuzzi scene (found within SanchoGallery) and other miscellaneous scene reversions.

Changlelog:

• Fixed every single bug I could find and reported the most critical ones to the dev directly.
• Fixed the dev's missing images and wrong images during gameplay... but I didn't fix the stock gallery. Use SanchoGallery instead, that'll get you done.
• Added missing sounds and music as necessary.
• Reverted some old content back to their original more lewd variants. NOTE: The original full Jacuzzi scene is included inside SanchoGallery, the one shown during playthrough remains the dev's new edited version. This is intentional.
• So many minor tweaks I can't even begin to log them all.

No worries, didn't feel any aggressiveness there. As for the thing with Mila, I understand both sides: Mila went from somebody who smokes cause they feel like it to somebody who avoids it cause she's thinking in her future plans long term. As for how Ocean worded it though, I personally didn't feel like he was inappropriate... but then again my fiance is German, maybe I'm just immune to how they say things sometimes.

Sure, but that doesn't change anything.
It's a western university setting.
Everyone speaks English as a first language, almost everyone has western names with western spellings, metric seems to be the standard and the drinking age seems to be 18, so that narrows down the setting.
Do you remember their high school's name? That narrows it down even more.

SG is not set in the real world you know, so any ACCURATE comparison to US or other western universities is kind of futile.

... but then again my fiance is German, maybe I'm just immune to how they say things sometimes.

So tell me how exactly we "say things sometimes".
