When v.6.5a gonna be public?

Never. I don't plan on publishing the game for free.

Is there like a guide to see how to get the other achievements?

(+1)

There is a walkthrough mode included in the game that should allow you to unlock most achievements, but nothing purely achievement oriented.

(1 edit)

Hello, i bought the game a while ago here and looked for a update. This game weirdly isn't on my list anymore and i'd need to pay 5 dollars again. Is there any other way to access it again? (Have it from version 0.6.3)

Love the game. Keep it up!

Hello.
If you already paid $5 for the a previous version, you should be able to download the latest version.
However, sometimes, Itch doesn't work properly. I don't know why.
Hit me up on discord if the situation doesn't improve and we'll look at what we can do.

trade offer: i will go subscribe on your subscribestar page, if you add a "hide UI" mechanic to the game (or if it already exists, tell me how to do it).

can we make a deal?

Deal.
As in every game based on the renpy engine, you can hide the ui at anytime by pressing H.
I never thought that this feature could be interesting but I could imagine implementing it in a more practical and visual way if there is a demand for it.

i'm playing on android tho. i tried the classic "swipe down" method, but that just registers as a tap. is it doable on android too?

idk, it's probably just my OCD, but it just always bugs me if i'm trying to look at an image, and there's text on the screen...feels distracting to me

(+1)

I don't think there is that kind of feature in the Android port.
I will have to develop something specific. I'll put it on my list but it really won't be a priority.
Alternatively, you can look at some of the images through the achievement page.
Some achievements allow you to access a gallery. Maybe that can help.

I want to buy this. But NOT through paypal. Give me a CC option please

Hello.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
I had to disconnect Stripe, and the cc billing option because I don't sell enough and the cost of using Stripe became ridiculous.
I don't have any other options.

(+1)

Use guest payment for paypal, I hate PayPal too they sell and share your data, as long as you don't create an account with them you should be good

(+1)(-1)

My reasoning is personal and political. The paypal corporation parent company supports anti veteran causes. As a vet, son and nephew of combat vets, I will not use their services.

(+2)

Well, your other option are to either head to my subscribe star page (https://subscribestar.adult/thenaughtycaptain) to get the latest version, or wait for the release on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2994790/Summer_Scent/).
I'm really sorry for the inconvenience.

When do you believe it will be released on Steam?

Mid December probably.

(-1)

This was really good. I was going to drop it because I wanted animated scenes. The renders were really good and the story reminded me of 90s teen romcom or rom drama. I was hooked trying all the possibilities. Even if some I didn't get action, the story was good.

Thank you!
I'm still considering the animation thing. I just don't want to add somme crap animation just for the sake of having some.

In my opinion you did a good job with the story and the images it probably doesn't need it, but I agree with you on the crap animations.  I came across of a few with animations making it look like two mannequins from a fashion store moving up and down to pretend they are having sex. Was saying WTF is this!

Yeah, good animations are really hard to do. But it's now expected from that kind of game. So I'll have to look into it, one way or another.

Not at all, your story is compelling on its own-- if it cuts into your story, I can honestly do without. Ended up doing all routes just to see where it goes-- you are on something very special

Thank you for your kind words.
I'm just trying my best to tell a good story.

(+1)

love the story and depth of your characters, to many get hung up on H-scenes and forget that adults like a compelling story as well. So thanks for that, and not being like everyone else.

Thank you for your kind words. I like to say that Summer Scent isn't a porn game, but rather a story with adult content. For me, the story and the character come first.

(+1)

Added to the wishlist on my 2 steam accounts. I hope everyone is doing the same. NaughtyCaptain, I’d encourage you to reach out to your fan base and maybe upload promotional material on whatever you can with an ask for them to add to their wishlists. I looked and didn’t see a video on YouTube. I’m not advertising-smart by any means, but I figure the more folks get to see the game and check it out, the better.

I paid for a couple earlier versions 2 years ago and a year ago and was stuck at the android-only and hadn’t checked it out in a good long while. I tested that same version with JoiPlay last night and the PC version works perfectly on android. I’ll be trying the most recent paid version this evening and catch up on what I’ve missed since my last play through a year ago. It remains one of the most redeeming/evil/soul crushing games I’ve played, depending on the path. I’d put it in the top 5 on this site. 

I’m looking forward to being able to purchase it on Steam someday. Let’s make it happen folks. 4,000 wishlists are rookie numbers. If I read the dev log correctly, we need to crack 12,000. 

Good luck, TNC. I’m rooting for you. 

(+1)

Thank you for your kind words, and your support!
You're describing what I've been doing regularly since the opening of the Steam store page. And so far, it didn't yield any great results, so... I don't know. I will keep trying, of course, but either I'm doing it wrong or I simply don't have enough reach to have any significant impact on the numbers. I hope that the coming release will help drive some attention...

Thank you!

(+1)

I did manage to play through the first day and a half in a short session. I can see tons of incremental changes along since the year+ I last played. The sound is a nice addition and there so many little changes I think I caught between the environments… the bathing suit…. the alcohol choice… the dream sequence (the friend character being a little fleshed out with his own scene rather than just a throw away phone character to push narrative a little gives him a little more weight) were all nice touches. I did like the original dream sequence in some ways from a narrative perspective, but I think the new one is a net gain. 

Anyways, in about 15 minutes of playing, it’s clear to see a lot of effort went in to the game, even from just looking at an early portion that was  just fine but are now just… “more”. I haven’t even approached the branches yet. It’s got to be a little wild “living” with these characters in your head both at their very best and very worst as you’ve slowly chipped away at it to bring it to its eventual conclusions… again, some good… and some very, very, bad. I hope you have a good therapist. 😂

It’s all very impressive though. Great job. 👍

(+1)

Thank you. That's always nice when your work is appreciated.

Yeah, It's not always easy. Some scenes are pretty rough to write and some others are way more pleasing to work on. But I believe that it's what makes the game and developing it interesting. Life isn't just happiness. And all the negative makes the positive feel better. So... working on this project is quite taxing, at times, but I think it's worth it.

Thank you!

(+1)

Summer scent is one of the most exciting visual novels I have ever played. The story, the characters and the decisions are extremely well written and the paths that are obtainable are unique in their own way. 

Overall it is a great and thrilling game and I am very excited for the next updates!!

Thank you for your kind words !

(2 edits)

how often do you update the free version of the game just wondering ? 

great job so far its looking really good so far keep it up

Never. There will be no update to the free version. If anything, at some point, I will remove it and replace it with a proper demo, with a more actual but limited version of the content.

Thank you !

is pregnancy a thing in this game?

No.

I'm still considering it for some of the endings, eventually. But there won't be any pregnancy during the game itself and it will not be an element of gameplay.

(-2)

"Summer Scent is a branching story that your decisions and actions will shape. Through a combination of key choices and affinity points, you will influence the narrative and decide a path for you to walk. Your choices will have consequences, good or bad, pleasurable or nefarious, wholesome or destructive. There are eighteen different paths for you to explore."

yeah right. some choices are grayed out and cannot be selected. each choice you make leads to the same outcome.

(+1)

That is untrue.
Is that is your exerience of the game, then you are most likely missing something.

(2 edits) (-2)

how it is even possible to miss something if there aren't any choices that lead different outcome? I have started the Novell from the beginning many times and tried all possible choices,  but outcome is always the same. some "choices" are grayed out/ disabled, but you can't choose them anyway.

(+2)

This is simply not true.
I don't know what you are doing, but you are most likely doing it wrong.
The walkthrough mode is here to prove you wrong.

(-1)

what walkthrough?

(-1)

tell me how to choose "you are superb"?

(1 edit)

Try helping Eve.

Choose your path, start anew.

If I paid for v0.6.3. How can i download the latest v0.6.4 without paying again?

You should already have access to the download link.
Right where you found the link for v0.6.3.

Does this game have a Chinese system

(+1)

No. The whole game is in english only.

(+2)(-2)

Hello don't you have patreon dev account so that i can see the progress of this summer scent game. The game was so cool waiting for future update. Thanks

(+3)(-2)

Hello. I don't have a Patreon anymore. They banned me.
I do have a Subscribe Star however.
https://subscribestar.adult/thenaughtycaptain

Thanks 

My pleasure, really.

(+3)(-2)

Absolutely wonderful story. I really enjoyed it and eagerly wait on the next update. 

(+1)(-2)

Thank you!

dev can you share the music on main menu?thx

"You make me dream" by Veaceslav Draganov

(+1)

goated music

(+2)(-8)

the news about cassie getting rape make me giggle hahahahahahahahahahahaha fuck.

(+2)(-2)

Did I already ask will this be on steam? 

(-2)

I'm awaiting validation from Steam as we speak.

(-2)

Yeah, itchio is were to start but the problem is easy to be tricked pirate a japanese game and it's annoying to delete then download the new version. 

(+2)(-2)

I'm not sure I perfectly understand what you mean here...

ive just finished the day 6 content and it makes me like kelly more. do you have any plans on have a route where you can romance all 3 of the girls? something like cassie and eve early on and then kelly at the end?

(-1)

Hello there. I'm glad you like Kelly! I never talk about the future path, but I can tell you what I haven't planned: There won't be a path in which you romance the three girls. There could be some surprises in the three mysterious paths, but none will allow you to romance the three girls at the same time.

(+1)

That's a shame but I kinda figured that would be the case. Either way I look forward to how the story will progress

(+2)

Your game is wonderful, there are so many possibilities and man... Cassie is incredible, the story, the development of the characters, everything is very good. 

(+1)

Thank you !
I'm very glad you like Cassie. As Eve seems to be way more popular, I'm always happy when someone tells me that they like Cassie or Kelly.

(+1)

Will the finished version also be available here on Itch? Because such games are not available on Steam in my country.

(+1)

I hope so. But I don't know for sure. With Steam comes some obligations that I'm not sure I will be able to meet unless I sell the game higher on itch than on Steam itself. And that doesn't sound fair to me.

I'm aware that this is the only available solution for some countries, like Germany.

I will do my best to find a solution.

Wow, that was quick with the answer. 

Then I hope it works.

Thanks for the answer. :)

My pleasure !

Will there be a purchasable updated version for android? Thx

Hello. I publish an Android version on my subscribe star page. I don't know if I will be able to publish for Android in the future. The limitations of this system are very unfavorable for this type of game. The bigger the game grows, the more I have to compress the content and the more hideous the images become.

Bummer to hear.

It would be much easier if there weren't any limitations on the size of the apps.

Hey Captain, I previously purchased 6.3a through Itch. I see that version 6.4 is up, how do I get access to that (outside of Patreon or Substar)? Does my purchase not cover future releases?

Hey there.
As far as I understand how it works, if you have bought v0.6.3a on itch, you should be able to download v0.6.4a on itch too.
However I have already encountered "bugs". Like, if you bought it at 4$ during a sale, it won't give you access to the game when it's at "full price".  It only happened once so far but it did happen.
Does that match your situation ?

Or maybe am I completely wrong about how Itch works ?

Thanks for the very prompt reply. The option to download 6.4a is greyed out, so presumably whatever I paid to get 6.3a wasn't enough to future releases as well. I purchased it in November last year. Guess I'll wait till you complete the game and pay one last fee. Great game, so well worth paying for it.

Hit me up on Discord and we'll see what we can do.
I hope to publish the game on Steam before the end of the year.

Hey Captain, figured it out so now have access to the latest update. A bit embarrassing that I didn't see where I could access the newest file before I hit you up here.  Soz. 

That is good to read. Thank you for letting me know!

(+3)

just discovered this game and loving it so far, had the nagging feeling i knew the characters Jack(MC) and eve somewhere but it didnt click until jaye appeared in the sushi resturant scene where i knew them from, its the other brother and sister that are friends of jaye in chasing sunsets, guessing this is set before jaye and her brother are in a relationship as jaye didnt know eve in this game, also the scene where the mc is playing call of shooty (lol) he plays against the mc from chasing sunsets, it nice when characters from other game cameo in other nice touch, looking forward to this games continuing storyline and of chasing sunsets too

Hello. I'm glad you enjoyed Summer Scent.

Very few spotted the Call of Shooty thing. Well done!

(+1)

i played the free version for first few days and decided to get the full version, its like a totally different game so much as been added/amended. anyone who has only played the free version, i would highly recommend getting the full versions, so much better with ingame music, and expanded scenes/dialog

I do think that the reworked content makes a big difference. I wouldn't invest time in the rework if I wasn't sure it 's a necessity.

(+1)

I must be weird, or simply completely missing the "bad" choices, but what should anyone be upset by?

I mean fair enough there's no tag in the shop for one of the paths that might happen, but... the dispositions on top are quite clear and is not like it just happens, one has to really try for it to happen.

Played it 3 times so far and the first 2 playthroughs ended up with mostly teenage romance interactions (we all know how it is at that age right?) and in the 3rd I tried to pick all the choices that were leading to... well that one missing tag, I got different interactions, but nothing outrageous, and I'm not even into tyhat specific part of the fetish...

Anyway nice VN mate. :)

Thank you!

does this game have a harem route?

No !

man the download hasnt been updated in 3 yrs dang

(1 edit)

V0.5.5 is be the last free version of the game. And I may even take it down completely in the coming months and replace it with a shorter demo.

(1 edit) (+1)

hello, I love your game so much bro keep it up.


Btw how many endings does the game have right now? If you don’t mind

Or the ones that I can do, because I want to do them all 😭

(+1)

Hello. Thank you!

At the moment, there are three endings.
One is the avoidable bad ending you can encounter on the dual love path.
The two others are the endings of the Evil Asshole and the Psychotic Knight Path.
And the Psychotic Knight's ending itself has two variants, depending on your choices.

When the game is complete, there will be 18 different paths, all of them will have a proper ending, and some will come with alternate variants.

(-2)

hello,

I love your game, but is there a way that you can date all 3 girls?

(+1)(-2)

Hello. At the moment, it is not possible to romance the three girls at the same time.

(1 edit) (+3)(-5)

nor has there been any way to do so since like, before covid 2019 bro. 5 years...
at this rate of development, this is about one ounce of effort away from being an abandoned game.

(+4)

Well, there seems to be a misunderstanding. I never intended to romance all girls at the same time. From the start, I've been clear on that. This isn't a harem game.

(+2)

youre doing a great job. for real, this is fantastic work

(+2)

Thank you!

(+1)

No harem means more entertainment through replays!  

Found your game through the Chasing Sunset cameo, enjoyed my first playthrough (managed to stay neutral), and am looking forward to future updates!

That is also my point of view!

I love Chasing Sunsets.
If you want to see the full Chasing Sunset x Summer Scent cross over, you will have to play a path including romancing Eve. That will open some scenes you might like!

Working that route now.  I like when authors do cross overs, it leads me to other great VNs.  As for yours, I gotta say the Cassie path is ... interesting.  Looking forward to finding out what Kelly is into.

Dear creator,


After downloading and upnpacking on my Android phone. I dont't know how I can get it running.


Please help me,

Hello.

You just need to download the apk and install it.
You should then be able to run it.

Let me know if it solved your issue.
You can also contact me on discord.

There are a lot of files after unpacking. some of the files i can not open. And i can not find a installation file......

(1 edit)

You don't have to unpack anything. You download the apk and you install it directly.
I think you may have probably downloaded the wrong version of the game.

(+1)

You where right wrong version

before i download , can someone tell  me what is the thing that happends that isnt for the people with heart problems? just this bit not more

(-2)

Hello.
I doubt it will give you a heart attack.

is it like a death or rape scene? if its smth else then its fine

(-2)

No. Even if the game, at some point, talks about rape, it never shows a rape.
The best I can tell you is that can be emotionnally difficult. If you have any doubt it could hurt you, don't play it.

I perfectly understand that some players are only looking for a feel good story. And Summer Scent isn't a feel good story.

(+1)

ok thank you , i am ok with the feel part , i dont really care about it , as long as there is no rape or killing i am cool with it , thanks for making such great game ( still havent tried it but is looking awsome )

(+1)(-2)

You're very welcome. Thank you for your interest.

(+2)(-1)

Hello.
As I replied on Discord :

I'm not sure how to reply to this question. I don't like spoiling my story in one way or another and I feel like telling that something won't be is as spoiling as saying that it will. Anyway. I have no plans for Netorare or MMF Sharing. Jack is the only male character in the main Cast and it will stay like that. I hope it answers your question.

(1 edit) (+2)(-3)

that one ending fucked me up , I know i know their was a warning but wtf man,  I legit shed tears. It's a good game but needs improvements. Sometimes what ever choice I pick makes no difference, and leads to the same outcome to which ever i chose. It's a good game nonetheless 👌 👏 

(+2)(-3)

Hey there. Thank you for playing Summer Scent.

I guess we are talking about the bad ending on the dual love path.

In the latest version of the game, there is a walkthrough mode included that can guide you through the game and help you avoid that bad ending.

I agree with you, the game needs improvements and I'm working on it!

Thank you!

(+3)(-3)

I played it again last night, i gotta say i love almost every second it. I played summer time saga, sisters lust and many more but i gotta say ur game Got my feet kicking from excitement 😂😂

(+2)(-3)

I'm glad you like it!

Just asking this out of curiosity but how long will the full game be once everything is 100% done? Keep up the amazing work with the game and hope you are enjoying your day so far!!

(+2)(-3)

I'll be honest with you. I don't know.
According to my plan, Day 6 is the biggest, busiest, day of the story. But there is still much to tell before we reach the end of the story.
I've been working on this game for almost 5 years now, and I think we've covered about 60, maybe 65 % of the story.
So... years.

Does it have anal scenes?

(1 edit) (+4)(-3)

Kind of. Probably not the kind you're thinking of, however.

(+1)

Lol. Best answer ever.

Thank you. I knew true men of culture would understand.

(+3)(-3)

I joined itchio so I could say 'Thank you' for making this game. I also purchased the latest release, as you deserve to be paid for your work. I'm new to the adult genre of gaming, and, as always - from what I'm reading on various creators' pages - creators of anything  'adult' face arbitrary discrimination and censorship. Is there a platform that is least likely to discriminate against adult game content? I just joined P*tr*n a few days, ago, and now I'm thinking that wasn't good because they kicked you off. I want to join a platform which is best for the content creators. :)

(+2)(-3)

Thank you!

Patreon is more and more restrictive and stingily puritan every day. And they are not the only ones.

So far, the only platform that doesn't show any sign of Censorship seems to be Subscribe Star. ( I have a profile there : https://subscribestar.adult/thenaughtycaptain)

Patreon might be easier to use but adult content creators are not welcome there anymore.

I feel like the world is becoming sadder by the day.

Is V 0.5.5 a demo? Or is it the most recent free update? I usually like to play either a free build or a demo before deciding to buy also I noticed that there was a mention of the game going to steam so I'll probably wait until then to buy it.

Thanks to whoever answers.

(-2)

Hello.

V0.5.5 is a now pretty old build and I do use it as a demo, yes. It contains the first 5 days of the story. 

The latest version, v0.6.3, contains most of day six along with a reworked day 1.

I'll probably have to change that when I get on Steam in the coming months. I'll have to make a proper demo.

Thank you!

(+3)

Good game and hard work you made. I liked the camera focus, very well done. However, from developer to developer, I have some critics. 

1. the lack of sounds and music makes it hard to play and to get users 100% immersed. With a proper sound design it would enhance the ambience, tension, and make the story far more powerful. You can find a lot of stuff in freesound.org for free (as the name says).

2. It's not perfectly written, but good enough to get you very involved with the story and the plot. I like the mystery that surrounds the game, that you don't know which secrets the girls are keeping. It would have been better if decisions had more impact in the daily dialogues and not only in the sex scenes. I know it's hard to program, but that would improve the game a lot.

3. Kelly would have been far better if you used a more arrogant-fancy-popular girl and not a cute one. When I saw her for the first time on the date, I never felt I was looking at the cheerleader leader, but at the shy-nerdish one who gets always the top grades.

4. There were 2 spanking threats. Do they really happen? If they don't happen, it's ok, it's just that Fm spanking is my one and only kink :)

I bought the latest version with a small tip :)

Good luck!

(+1)(-2)

Hello.

1. I obviously agree. The lack of music and sounds is problematic. I'm currently working on that.

2. I'm French, that might be why. Prior to Summer Scent, I had some decent experience in writing in French, but Summer Scent is my first work in English. especially in the first days of the story, my writing was shy and hesitant. It took time for me to find a proper "English voice".

This is also why I'm reworking the 5 first days of the story.

3. When you meet her, the arrogant cunt has already been destroyed. But you are right, I should find a way to show her to give a better idea of what she really was before her transformation. I have options. I'm considering them.

4. Who knows? Things might happen!

Thank you!

(+1)

What I meant about Kelly is physically and her outfit, not about how she behaves. A more fashioned girl, perhaps taller, more voluptuous or more fit, long stylished hair. It would have made her more mysterious when she started talking about her tragic life. I know this is a change impossible to do. However, my last critic of the game is that the girls' physical character design could have been better to fit their personality.

I'm Mexican, so I understand the difficulty of writing in a foreign language. I advice to get this app https://prowritingaid.com/

With it's rephrase feature (you write something and it rewrites it in 5 different styles you can choose), it will make your writing a lot faster and better. You won't have to worry never again about grammar and style, and you can even give each girl a style of talking. For example, Kelly using more slang, while the sister being more "refined" as she dreams of being a writer. It's not cheap, but it has saved me tons of hours of work and it was one of the best investments I've made. 

(-2)

Thank you. I'll look into it!

(+1)

Hello, created an account here just to ask what happened to your Patreon?

(+1)(-2)

As of yesterday, it has been removed. I'm currently trying to contact Patreon. So far, they didn't reply.

(+1)(-1)

This really sucks, I'm sorry to hear about that. I appreciated your regular updates there and hope you get the suspension revoked.

(+1)(-2)

Well, so far, they aren't even replying to me so... I'm not very confident. Thank you, however.
