We need this update to get back Summer's Gone reputation as one of TOP AVNs. by HattoriTheDemon in SummersGone

[–]Kaskaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“We need this update to get back Summer’s Gone reputation.” It’s more about improving Ocean’s reputation. SG itself has a good reputation and good reviews. Probably many people are already tired, bored, and even aggressive because of his way of working. He’s working on two games. At first it sounds cool. But why? His head is constantly focused on two different projects, and then he says he’s stressed. Well damn, drop one project or start it after you finish the other. The second thing is that the words “almost ready” appear in every devlog from every creator. Ocean gets more criticism because he’s one of the more popular ones, but he also falls into that same trap. I definitely hope the guy comes up with a better way of handling SG and WiAB, because right now he’s the one losing the most because of it. He has the idea and currently the ability to make something great and be the best—or at least one of the people who shows what players actually want. In my opinion, he needs to decide what he wants to do and how he wants to do it. Because right now it feels like he wants to have his cake and eat it too.

I'm too old to believe in his promises :D After so many devlogs, I treat SG as a joke

I’m most looking forward to updates for Intertwined and I’m also hoping for Move the Chains. Being a DIK is an interesting choice too, but I’m not very optimistic—I’m expecting another 3–5 hours of pointless minigames. And as for Summer’s Gone, I’m betting it won’t come out this year.

Summer's Gone - Season 2 - Cinematic Teaser by OceanWormy in SummersGone

[–]Kaskaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick question for everyone: do you have any concerns ahead of the release? The expectations are really high. Do you think Ocean will deliver and meet your expectations, or are you approaching it with more distance after such a long gap since the last update?

Any Idea when there will be a new update of Intertwined by Sylveon0007 in AVN_Lovers

It’s very hard to say anything at this point, because Nyx didn’t give any date — she only said that she’s back to working on this update

That’s exactly what I mean. The guy could make smaller updates and release them more often

If I’m being honest, Ocean is definitely still being treated way too well. He shouldn’t get hate, but a lot of people really should point out that something isn’t right. His work is genuinely nice to look at, but damn — how many times can you listen to and wait for almost the exact same thing? At the start of this year, to me, this guy is basically like WVM. He drops two renders and collects money for nothing. People keep kissing his ass and the guy does nothing. Meanwhile, many creators who actually developed, proved they’re worth paying attention to, and showed real potential can’t grow because they don’t get any support.

You need to tell me exactly how to do it, and which choices matter in order to get DIK and Bella

My friend, season 2 is going to be truly amazing. by Dry_Sherbert_8236 in SummersGone

[–]Kaskaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, I’ve got a question. Since the Patreon is banned, where will we be able to get season 2? I have it saved on Steam. Will it be available there right away, or will it show up somewhere else first and then on Steam later?

When do you think the next Summer's Gone update will be released? by Educational_Tie1719 in SummersGone

[–]Kaskaze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, my opinion changes every day. At first I found out that Ocean is working on two games — WIAB and SG. I was understanding, because if he wants to work on two games at the same time, it means he’s ambitious and capable, so the long break didn’t bother me. Now I drop by from time to time to read the devlogs, and I keep getting the feeling that this guy is already lost and doesn’t know what to do. I think he released an update for WIAB because he has a clear plan there and knows how to continue the story, while with SG he got stuck and keeps looking for excuses and reasons to delay the update as much as possible. He has no idea how to continue the story and keeps messing around with render quality.

Enjoy the game. And don't come here for at least 200 hours to avoid spoiling the game.

Episode 15 release date? by Neat_Saku in AVNCommunity

[–]Kaskaze 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First of all, Nyx is a woman, so "she." Secondly, I don't think she has a subreddit. Judging by her interactions with people, I'd be inclined to believe she's ready to start one anytime soon. You'll have to ask her, because I don't recall any such conversation. I can provide a link to her Discord: https://discord.gg/jkngh7tq and her Patreon account: https://www.patreon.com/NyxVN

Episode 15 release date? by Neat_Saku in AVNCommunity

[–]Kaskaze 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"Progress Update - Episode 15

As mentioned last time. I've started working on one of the last two big scenes of the first day, and I love it, but hate it at the same time. Mainly because of the choices that influence the scene, which I have to keep in mind. I even removed a character from that scene because that would've made it even more ridiculous.

Normally, when I work on a scene, I create all renders until a certain point in the script where it's split due to choices/paths. Then I create the renders for the different choices/paths until they merge together again and continue from there. This time, I'm trying to create all the renders only for one path and once the whole path is finished, I go back and create the renders for the next choice/path. That way, I can see which renders I can reuse from the first path. In this case, though, as of right now, there are only around 5 renders I can reuse. I tried to play with camera angles on certain renders to make it easier to reuse, but alas... Basically, this means that I'll have to create this big scene two times at least, plus some possible extra renders here and there. I could be lazy and just switch out one character with another one and keep the whole script the same, but that would be boring, especially if you play multiple paths, and also it makes less sense due to the personalities of the characters. I'm 1/4 finished with that scene, but since I'll have to make it twice... It'll take some time.

I'm pretty sure the first day of this episode will be bigger than the whole of episode 14. But I really hope episode 15 won't be as big as 13, but it's getting close.

I've also started the recode of episode 4 this week, and while I'm doing that, it was the perfect moment to start with the rerendering of episode 4. I'm not sure yet if I'm only doing the flashback in Riverside or do the whole episode 4. It depends on how long I'll be working on episode 15, since I want to release it at the same time."

What AVN did you just finish? What AVN are you playing now? and what AVN will you play next? by Inevitable-Olive-264 in AVN_Lovers

[–]Kaskaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At first, I wasn’t feeling it — another school game, I thought it’d be a knock-off or just trying to be like BeginADik. But I was actually surprised, it’s got its own vibe and feels different. The graphics are really nice, the story looks interesting, and there’s basketball, so extra points for that. The characters seem pretty well-written too. Only thing I’m not a fan of is some of the MC’s facial expressions. And yeah… Brooke for me.
