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 :)
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.
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.
After playing seven or eight different routes, and being angry at this game, I finally understood it could be boiled down to one comment:
Choices should have consequences.
Eve is supposedly the submissive character, yet this is not at all reflected anywhere in this game, except the sex-scenes. She starts off the game as a bitch, and no matter how nice or dominant you play, she still continues being a bitch
The story is horribly written. I recognize several points where the creator tries to make something feel scary, or disconcerting, or rage-inducing, but it just feels empty, because the women aren't women I would protect from anything, considering how they treat the MC.
There is a saying..."if you've got nothing nice to say, don't say anything."
Fair enough that you don't like the game, so stop playing and go find something that does float your boat. But you don't need to insult the creator of this very fine visual novel.
Just look at the art - Its top shelf!! The story (like all VNs) is exactly that, a story! So suspend your disbelief and roll with it.
I've played through this novel four times now, and while I know the macro story pretty well, I'm still finding little zigs and zags in the story that entertain for a variety of reasons. To think that there are still 14 other endings that I've yet to see, makes this a phenomenal creative work.
I have nothing but praise for the Captain, and all the other creators who develop these VNs - some are great (this one, Good Girl Gone Bad, Leap of Faith, and Tales from the Unending Void to name a few) and some are pretty low grade for a variety of reasons (Friends of Mine, Girl Games, Weekend Lollygagging) - but I would never post content on those games that sought to diminish the creators efforts - if I didn't like/enjoy it, I move on. You should too.
Artwork is good. And that's the only compliment I can give this game.
I post comments like the one above, because I am allowed to voice my opinion, and I would like to inform other players that this game is not a good game.
You said this game is as good as a few others, and I have tried those other games you listed, even love them. Because they have character development, this game doesn't. Because those games have consequences of your choices, this game doesn't. Because those games have a story, this game doesn't. Because those games have a diversity of characters/personalities, this game doesn't.
Just because someone is a decent visual artist, does not mean they know how to make a game, write a good story, or that their game is good simply because they are a decent visual artist.
The only difference in the story, is whether or not you get to see boring sex-scenes. There's nothing else new. Unlike one of the games you mentioned, Good Girl Gone Bad, where I can find new things in story and scenes even after playing it more than 200 times (not an exaggeration). This game is empty after you've played through it 'wrong' and then 'right'.
Eve never changes, Cassie never changes, the MC never changes, the story never changes, the events never change, your choices never change, your relationships never change. It is fine to make a VN where you simply want to tell a story, but then you don't get to claim, as the author of this game does, that your choices matter, or that there's eighteen different paths, when every path contains the exact same lines from the exact same characters in the exact same positions in the exact same events, no matter which choices you make. As I've said several times, the only difference of your choices is whether you get to see a few boring sex-scenes or not.
I played this as the nicest, most helpful guy possible the first time, and got bitched out, humiliated, ordered around, had my privacy invaded, and ended up as their slave. I played this game as the nastiest, most hateful guy possible the second time, and got bitched out, humiliated, ordered around, had my privacy invaded, and ended up as their slave. I tried being nice to Eve and stay away from Cassie the third time I played, and got bitched out, humiliated, ordered around, had my privacy invaded, and ended up as their slave. I tried being cruel to Eve and kind to Cassie, and got bitched out, humiliated, ordered around, had my privacy invaded, and ended up as their slave. I tried telling them everything, and got bitched out, humiliated, ordered around, had my privacy invaded, and ended up as their slave. I tried telling them nothing, and got bitched out, humiliated, ordered around, had my privacy invaded, and ended up as their slave. Tried being kind without buying gifts, and got bitched out, humiliated, ordered around, had my privacy invaded, and ended up as their slave. Tried staying away from Kelly, and got bitched out, humiliated, ordered around, had my prvacy invaded, and ended up as their slave. I tried starting a relationship with Kelly, and got bitched out, humiliated, ordered around, had my privacy invaded, and ended up as their slave.
The only difference your choices make, is whether or not you get to see a few boring sex-scenes. Absolutely nothing else changes.
Thank you. I respect any author that doesn't get angry at those leaving bad reviews/scathing comments on their games. I may not like your game, but I do respect you for being so polite.
Sorry to hear about your issues with my game. Is that a problem with the download link ? or do you have trouble running the game? You can contact me on Discord for a more instantaneous conversation.
I tried your discord, but you were out. I don't know if the message left there reached you, but I have a pc and the app simply is not loading, even when opened as an administrator, though the previous version loads fine.
There is an Android port available on my Patreon. However, The android ports are a touchy subject. I don't propose them on Itch anymore because I don't know if I'll always have the technical capacity to compile a build in the future. I also don't know if I'll be able to keep publishing for Android once the game is on Steam.
Long story short, it's on Patreon, and it can disappear at any moment.
The update I'm working on should be a valid candidate for publishing on Steam. So... Early access later this year I guess. The game will be nowhere near finished but at least should give a decent idea of what the finished product will be.
I never really leave comments/reviews for games, especially for vn games, but after finishing an ending in this game (v0.5.5) a few minutes ago, I feel like I had to write one up, mostly to vent it out.
Just to get it out the way, HEED THE WARNING in the game description and If you are looking for a harem type vn, I am warning you to STEER CLEAR away from this game. I Acknowledge that I was not the target audience for the game and it left a very negative impression on me.
But, if you are looking for something different, unique from other vns, you will love this, from an artistic perspective, It is a phenomenal story. It is great, I see the vision, I remember seeing a comment about the bad ending making this game stand out, and I agree. That was the vision, I wouldn't change a thing.
But as a person that was not the intended audience, a harem vn enjoyer, man did the ending f me up. I was enjoying the game till the ending, I was hoping for a good ending, or just a harem ending, instead the ending I got came out of left field, even if it was foreshadowed. Like I said before, I respect the art, I hope you don't take any offence to what I say next Mr.Developer, but I genuinely hope I forget about this story, may it be erased from my memory. Other than that, I wish you the best, and I wish you luck, keep up the good work:)
Thank you for your honest review. I do appreciate feedback especially when they are objective like yours.
Indeed, you are not the target audience!
However, I feel like I have to add that this bad ending is avoidable and in the most recent version of the game, I included a walkthrough to make it easier to explore the different paths.
That being said, even like that, Summer Scent isn't a Harem game. But there will be happy endings. In fact, there will be more happy endings than anything else. But no harem.
Needs less focus on shooting out constant development logs filled with minor info dumps and endless constant tweaking of past chapters few of us will deign to replay, and more focus on new material. From what I recall, I think there were only two semi-substantial updates that actually included new material in like two years maybe? Had forgotten this game even existed till now. If they were major updates, I could understand it. But they were pretty minor. The game has potential but needs more focus on the finish line and less fixation on creative perfection of already released materials riddled with rewrites and do overs. Those can be tweaked on or after the final version in my opinion. Stop questioning every step, and push your project forward. These types of games need major updates every 6 months to hold interest. Had my interest a year ago. Not so much anymore.
Well, sorry if you don't like it, but I think these updates are important. I want those who follow me to know what I'm working on.
Sinde 2022, I published about 70 k words of content and about 2000 renders. Not counting what I'm working on at the moment. I have no doubt that it can feel shallow if you play only a path rather than the whole game. But the content is still there. I am slow, that is true. If I wasn't constantly tweaking, rewriting and over stuff, the game wouldn't be as "promising".
However, you are right about my dev cycle being too long. I release every 8 months at the moment, and it's clearly too long. I hope to improve this in the future, as I will be closing some loose ends that will simplify the branching and the writing. However, the posing will still be the most consuming part of the work and I don't see how I can compress it.
I think the Dev updates are very useful, but I can see how it can be annoying to see an update for the game only to find out it's not really an update. Keep doing you and ignore this guy. If he doesn't like it, he can find something else.
I personally really appreciate the dev updates. Sure I would love updated content faster, but if i know that the project is moving forward and whatever goes on behind the scenes, I feel that is valuable to me.
agree'd. some of the best AVNs have potato graphics. and the following is not directed at anyone in particular - it seems like too many devs are trying to create visual perfection and get stuck in constant 're-work' cycles, and they forget us consumers are just looking for cartoons we can use our own imaginations with to fill in the gaps. if we wanted photorealism, we'd just watch porn. we play AVNs for the story, not the pretty pictures. i dont care how many hairs are on the head of the girl, or how deep her 7.32 million 3d pores are, as long as she has something interesting to say. theres nothing worse than getting invested in a story, then finding out that the author will probably get covid and die before its finished. and its all due to the subscription model. worse, idea, ever. i dont care how may boring teenagers who would otherwise have to stay in school, and instead can now make boring teenage games for bored teenage audiences. patreon = worst, idea, ever.
Well, that's quite simple. Without Patreon, I wouldn't be working on that game.
It's not about making something perfect, but something decent. You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. I'm trying to transform my vinegar into honey. That's why the rework needs to happen.
"Without Patreon, I wouldn't be working on that game." a sacrifice i'm prepared to make for a better system to develop. i'm so old, i remember when ppl sold finished products.
please help me. i've bought the game to play on my mac. but when it ry to install it this app says that the title is hosed on a third party website. i've downloaded it through Chrome but i can't install and play the game.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Itch support forwarded your mail to me. I replied, hoping they would it forward to you.
According to the renpy documentation, you have to uncompress the archive and directly double-click the app. I'm quoting the documentation because I don't own a mac and never tried it myself. However, feedback from mac users seems to confirm that.
Let me know if it helps you!
You can contact me directly on Discord for a more instantaneous discussion.
i tries to start the application by double clicking the icon. i recieve the message that the developer can't be verified. and the mac can't verify that the app doesn't have malware in it

I love this game so much, quick question how long will this game be once everything is done? Just asking out of curiosity that's all. Keep up the good work as always and take your time with the new update!
Right now, the game is about 270 000 words. And I think I'm at about 65% of the story. Once finished (including the rework of old content), the whole thing will probably be around 450 000 words.
However, I have no goals in terms of words or amount of content. This is just an estimation.
Man, your game is very good. I have played all of versions and new version which day 6 part 3 is added. U sure worked on that well. But .. I think I changed beginning toooo much. You added new dialogues and removed old ones, but I can surely say old one's were better - for example, in new version , Cassie sees MC as a hero and gives all of weird speech(too much) just for he picked her up on the street. I mean her love started too fast it became weird. In old version , it was sure better.
And why spending time on Cassie Dom path? Man, I love your game but this path is absolutely bulshit, and why need for to double it? So his a-hole can be destroyed better? Dude, instead you could make Kelly path better or add 7th day. It is disturbing to watch as you say "not great sex scene incoming; save here".
All the problems aside, this 6th day made things more clear and better. I don't know, if game was a book, I would have read 11million lines. Hope we will get full release soon.
I'll check the new version of day one. I didn't find Cassie to be "falling in love" with Jack that easily, but maybe I'm wrong.
I understand perfectly that some may not like the femdom-oriented paths. But some others do!
The seventh day is still pretty far away. The night of day 6 is going to be quite eventful and heavy on the lewds. I'm not sure how I will split it. There is a lot of content ahead and I won't be able to release it in a single update.
Yeah man, you got spirit. Just don't worry about some haters words, you know , they were ass fucked whIle they were kid by their uncle that made them addicted to extreme sex. They just can't feel the power of Lines.
As I said, we hope better updates soon too, like I sometimes forget about how many damn paths your game has, each with its own story.
And do a little favour by making MC's parents late by adding some serious problems like - thief steal their passport, or dad's business works last longer. Idk others but I would wait more than I waited for GTA VI . Thanks 😎 dude
I scanned the files and didn't find anything. However, I know that renpy games may give some false positive with some AV. Better safe than sorry however!
I agree, you shouldn't give these morons any more air time than they've already stolen. Having written one small online novella, I know how much time that took me and that was just words - this visual novel of yours is a mammoth undertaking, I'm in awe of what you're doing.
Hello. May I ask which version of the game are you trying to download? On my side, all the links seem to work properly. Do you encounter a specific error?
If you haven't fixed the issue yet, feel free to hit me on Discord and we'll see what we can do.
God! I love your game! I just finished my third playthrough and IT. WAS. PERFECT. Eve just melted in MC's hands and it was so real and surreal at the same time. That's what I wanted to get when I was playing the game for the first time and now it's sooo rewarding! The way you write dialogs - I don't know what it is - but it is so perfect!
Your game is fucked up, you know? I love it. After endless harems I played it's good reality check. I just registered here to leave this comment. I just finished my first playthrough, it ended terribly and now I cant sleep. I love your writing. I could own almost all character choices like my own. That made this game feel personal. But I couldn't own MC's decisions from the past - I wasn't there to make it. So kinda this makes me feel conflicted. But overall - thanks for the game. Am gonna find the rought to make everyone happy.
I considered making some kind of flashback so that the player could play the moment Mc understands he is in love with Eve and the torment that comes with it, but I'm not sure it would make much sense. I would have to show much more than that moment for it to "feel real". We'll see. Maybe I'll change my mind, maybe I'll find something else to make it feel more personal.
Who is Eve? You do remember that let us choose the names? I absolutely hate to do so in any game like this. By Eve you mean the childhood friend of MC? Whan I was talking about the past decisions I was talking about the MC's decision to believe to the rumors about her. I don't believe I would have done it. I always weighted hard evidence much more than any words. And since not so long ago I started weighting more the feelings of those I care about. You could say I started to learn how to care about people. So I don't think in my case it could've been done believable. That's why I like amnesia troupe. It can look as cheap trick but it deletes the untold past you should share with MC and that really makes it easier to believe in his decisions like in your own. It wont work if writing is bad, but your writing is just excellent. Mur Mur uses it really good. After the moment where the girl friend of MC's childhood friend (what have you done! Please, don't make us choose the names anymore in your projects!) shares whith us that all rumors are fake and MC's childhood friend not a bitch but just a weak person who give up fighting everyone around her I really believed in all choices like in my own. Almost in all. When in the end MC started talking 'it's a fate' talk I was upset with him. I prefer to own my choices. Even if they lead into a bad situation. "I choose what I choose cuz I believed that I was doing right choices. I own my choices and I meant everything I said." - that would be my talk. (I don't know how to talk about specific ending without spoilers). That ending left me disturbed but I still appreciated it. After how Domekano had ended I started to think of polyamory as of the solution in any story with similar conflicts. This ending reminded me how real people would see it. It's hard to make. You need to be dedicated. You need to know what you want clearly. And you need to be ready for failure. Thanks for reminding me that real people don't make life easy.
I guess you haven't played the most recent version of the game. For several reasons, I have removed the option to rename the girls after v0.5.5.
Eve is indeed the "Childhood friend", Cassie is her friend. Jack, the MC, is the only one you can still rename. I still think that renaming the MC can be useful for immersion, but renaming the girls was useless and annoying. I won't make that mistake again in any hypothetical future game.
After v05.5, depending on the path you choose, you can also learn more about what has led Jack (MC) to make that decision in the past. I won't spoil it. But it's a human reaction.
Real people don't make life easy. I like that. Despite their best intentions, people are selfish, afraid, ashamed, shy and many other traits that make discussions and relationships ambiguous and uneasy to read. A lot of players don't like that. They want to be a manly hero who understands everything immediately and is always right, forward, confident, strong and successful. Jack isn't like that at all. He is a human being and so are the other characters of Summer Scent. They're all flawed and I believe that's what makes them endearing.
I agree with 99% of your reply. But obviously I'm in the minority with the renaming of the girls. I really like that as a feature of any VN - one quick example, in the "Evil Asshole" playthrough I named Jack, "Adolf" (for obvious reasons - although I didn't appreciate how evil it would get!) and it would have been good to be able to rename the girls with a consistent naming convention. But your game so your choices, I respect that.
Removing the renaming option wasn't an easy decision but I still think that was a good one. The mistake was to offer the renaming option in the first place. I do understand, however, that the player may want some degrees of customisation to improve his immersion. As with everything, that's a thin line to walk on.
Anyone got idea how to kidnap developer and make him to make new versions? I am eager to ay ideas. And btw, when is new update we are waiting for 3months?
It will take some time. I'm done with the rework part of the next update and I'm currently working on new content. More about that in the next Dev Update.
When I started the game, Eve and jack were twins but I had to change it because of Patreon Policies. I know that there is a patch somewhere that redefine their relationship.
Sorry!
Eve, Cassie and Kelly are the only girls you can romance.
Thanks again for the reply. I've been to a site that does patches for these types of games, but my computer doesn't like them, so I guess I'll just have to accept Patreons hypocitical polices.
Wow, what an Amazing game! I am eagerly waiting for the full version. This is better than most telltale games. The number of paths and ways that the story could go is just Amazing.
Tbh how many paths/endings we currently have on this game? The very first path is when Cassie got the worst end while Eve lost her mind. I know I have a strong heart but I cried for a couple of minutes because of what happened. It's just real sad tbh
The finished game will have 18 paths + a couple of variants and bad endings. As of v0.6.3, 3 paths have yet to emerge and only one bad ending is reachable.
There will be more bad endings in the future but none will be as painful as the one you played through.
if i had my way, im make it all bad endings, and i wouldnt tell anyone so you have to suffer through them all on fruitless search for "the good ending", and i wouldnt make it all that good to be worth the suffering you went through. #DancingLessons
Hey, i realy appreciate your work so far. Unbeliveable how many different ways of the story you are able to put in and every twitch makes sense and in every twitch is so much effort to see. Never had a game that style that astonished me more. Now my question. In the pathfinder there are 3 Mystical Path shown. I already tried all kinds of ways to hit on 1 of these without any luck. They already exist or is there any hint how to find them? I guess is a numeros of answers you have to do in the right way to open than but till yet i was unlucky with that. Can you give help with that in any way? Thx a lot.
As of v0.6.3, the three "mysterious paths" haven't branched from the other paths yet. They will be "unveiled" as soon as they have some proper unique and dedicated content.
Ok, thx for your answer. Than i dont need to search for it right now like crazy ;). im curious a lot for next updates what else will happen in all these stories.
I have a billing question. I mistakenly bought this at 3$ instead of 5$. Then bought it again for the remaining 2$, but I still can't download the newest version. Edit* forgot to add the question. How can I get the two purchases combined so that I can get the newest version?
Hello. Thanks you for your amazing work, its been 2 weeks since i have downloaded this game and it still cant make me bored. When i first played it, it disappoints me. But after trying more options, I managed to play in all paths and i was like "Holy mother of fcking god". I had never imagined that adult game would contain so much emotions, and that script is like a fireee. Is there any way that I can suppoet your work and get more updates? If there is, then please tell me.
I found a way to make a build. However, I'm not sure it will be compatible with your previous saves. I have a few things to fix to make it work properly. I'll release it next week.
I'm currently working on making the game Steam compatible. It's one of the focus of the version I'm currently working on. But I'm afraid it won't be available on Steam before a few months.
Oh, perfect. No worries, I'll just have to wait a bit, but I'm happy to hear it's in the works. Besides Steam itself, will it be verified/playable on the Steam Deck, too?
How many endings does the game currently have. I always get the bad ending. had hoped there would be an end to the harem but so far not. I also looked for a walkthrough but couldn't find one. I don't know what has changed in the last updates but the ending is probably the same as it was 1 or 2 years ago when I played it for the first time.
As of the last version available, v0.6.3, there are no endings aside from the bad one.
The game is still in development and I progress each path at the same time.
The bad ending happens on the morning of day five. In v0.6.3, all paths have progressed up to day 6, end of the afternoon. Most paths will end on day 9.
V0.6.3 includes a walkthrough mode that you can activate from the preference screen.
2nd game today that when I purchase it gives me an error saying purchase not completed but Paypal is billing me. Both Games this and The Awakening are in EU and require an address to be filled out for some legal reason. Is it awaiting the game creator to verify to release the download?
No. The game should be available immediately as long as you payed the required sum. That sounds like an Itch problem. Contact me on discord so we can look at this together.
Is there a way to play it on Android? Or do I have to start my progress over on the PC? Also when is it going to become free if at all? If not that's okay I'd definitely pay!
I couldn't produce a working Android build for v0.6.2R and v0.6.3 because of a library bug. I'm still looking into it but I cannot promise I'll be able to compile a functioning build.
So far, you should be able to play it with Joiplay. But I don't think you'll have any compatibility with saves coming from a native build.
I consider Summer Scent like a PC game. The Mac and eventual Android builds are bonuses. The reason is simple: I cannot be sure that I will be able to produce a Mac or Android build with every release.
The game will never become free. I plan to release it on Steam in a few months.
Amazing game but i have a question in a moment we see "Jaye" the redhead girl and i see her in a game but i dont remember the name its possible to have the name of the game where she from ? Thank you
When i saw this game and started playing and got to where Cassie leaves i thought it was going to be like she comes back i was not expecting what happend to happen the way you wrote it is so realistic as to what would happen not all happy endings as in life cant wait fo more

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

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!
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!
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.
Thank you. I'll look into it!
Hello, created an account here just to ask what happened to your Patreon?
As of yesterday, it has been removed. I'm currently trying to contact Patreon. So far, they didn't reply.
This really sucks, I'm sorry to hear about that. I appreciated your regular updates there and hope you get the suspension revoked.
Well, so far, they aren't even replying to me so... I'm not very confident. Thank you, however.
What is the name of Cassie's actress? Plisss
Hello.
Do you mean her figure ? She is custom made by mixing several figures and morphs.
You won't find her on any stores.
hello i ^purchased the 5 dollar version i cannot download thow im on pc it says third party something or other
hello what is the difference if i pay 5 dollars what do i get more then the free version?
Hello, The 5$ version is the latest release, with more content.
What exactly is the problem ? You should be able to download the archive. You then need to unzip it and run the executable.
it worked thanks A lot!
You're very welcome.
After playing seven or eight different routes, and being angry at this game, I finally understood it could be boiled down to one comment:
Choices should have consequences.
Eve is supposedly the submissive character, yet this is not at all reflected anywhere in this game, except the sex-scenes. She starts off the game as a bitch, and no matter how nice or dominant you play, she still continues being a bitch
The story is horribly written. I recognize several points where the creator tries to make something feel scary, or disconcerting, or rage-inducing, but it just feels empty, because the women aren't women I would protect from anything, considering how they treat the MC.
There is a saying..."if you've got nothing nice to say, don't say anything."
Fair enough that you don't like the game, so stop playing and go find something that does float your boat. But you don't need to insult the creator of this very fine visual novel.
Just look at the art - Its top shelf!! The story (like all VNs) is exactly that, a story! So suspend your disbelief and roll with it.
I've played through this novel four times now, and while I know the macro story pretty well, I'm still finding little zigs and zags in the story that entertain for a variety of reasons. To think that there are still 14 other endings that I've yet to see, makes this a phenomenal creative work.
I have nothing but praise for the Captain, and all the other creators who develop these VNs - some are great (this one, Good Girl Gone Bad, Leap of Faith, and Tales from the Unending Void to name a few) and some are pretty low grade for a variety of reasons (Friends of Mine, Girl Games, Weekend Lollygagging) - but I would never post content on those games that sought to diminish the creators efforts - if I didn't like/enjoy it, I move on. You should too.
Artwork is good. And that's the only compliment I can give this game.
I post comments like the one above, because I am allowed to voice my opinion, and I would like to inform other players that this game is not a good game.
You said this game is as good as a few others, and I have tried those other games you listed, even love them. Because they have character development, this game doesn't. Because those games have consequences of your choices, this game doesn't. Because those games have a story, this game doesn't. Because those games have a diversity of characters/personalities, this game doesn't.
Just because someone is a decent visual artist, does not mean they know how to make a game, write a good story, or that their game is good simply because they are a decent visual artist.
The only difference in the story, is whether or not you get to see boring sex-scenes. There's nothing else new. Unlike one of the games you mentioned, Good Girl Gone Bad, where I can find new things in story and scenes even after playing it more than 200 times (not an exaggeration). This game is empty after you've played through it 'wrong' and then 'right'.
Eve never changes, Cassie never changes, the MC never changes, the story never changes, the events never change, your choices never change, your relationships never change. It is fine to make a VN where you simply want to tell a story, but then you don't get to claim, as the author of this game does, that your choices matter, or that there's eighteen different paths, when every path contains the exact same lines from the exact same characters in the exact same positions in the exact same events, no matter which choices you make. As I've said several times, the only difference of your choices is whether you get to see a few boring sex-scenes or not.
I played this as the nicest, most helpful guy possible the first time, and got bitched out, humiliated, ordered around, had my privacy invaded, and ended up as their slave. I played this game as the nastiest, most hateful guy possible the second time, and got bitched out, humiliated, ordered around, had my privacy invaded, and ended up as their slave. I tried being nice to Eve and stay away from Cassie the third time I played, and got bitched out, humiliated, ordered around, had my privacy invaded, and ended up as their slave. I tried being cruel to Eve and kind to Cassie, and got bitched out, humiliated, ordered around, had my privacy invaded, and ended up as their slave. I tried telling them everything, and got bitched out, humiliated, ordered around, had my privacy invaded, and ended up as their slave. I tried telling them nothing, and got bitched out, humiliated, ordered around, had my privacy invaded, and ended up as their slave. Tried being kind without buying gifts, and got bitched out, humiliated, ordered around, had my privacy invaded, and ended up as their slave. Tried staying away from Kelly, and got bitched out, humiliated, ordered around, had my prvacy invaded, and ended up as their slave. I tried starting a relationship with Kelly, and got bitched out, humiliated, ordered around, had my privacy invaded, and ended up as their slave.
The only difference your choices make, is whether or not you get to see a few boring sex-scenes. Absolutely nothing else changes.
I think you may have missed a few things. But that's alright. Given your take, this isn't a game for you.
Thank you for playing it.
Thank you. I respect any author that doesn't get angry at those leaving bad reviews/scathing comments on their games. I may not like your game, but I do respect you for being so polite.
I paid for the game and have access to the download, but I have not been able to get the last version (6.3) of your game to actually load.
Hello.
Sorry to hear about your issues with my game.
Is that a problem with the download link ? or do you have trouble running the game?
You can contact me on Discord for a more instantaneous conversation.
I tried your discord, but you were out. I don't know if the message left there reached you, but I have a pc and the app simply is not loading, even when opened as an administrator, though the previous version loads fine.
When can we expect the update starting from Day 6 on mobile? :)
There is an Android port available on my Patreon. However, The android ports are a touchy subject. I don't propose them on Itch anymore because I don't know if I'll always have the technical capacity to compile a build in the future. I also don't know if I'll be able to keep publishing for Android once the game is on Steam.
Long story short, it's on Patreon, and it can disappear at any moment.
Love it so much !
As soon as this drops in Steam (if ever in the future), I'm taking it instantly, faster than the Flash.
Absolutely phenomenal game
Thank you !
A steam release should happen later this year!
When is this bad chicken coming to Steam? I can't wait to play it
The update I'm working on should be a valid candidate for publishing on Steam. So... Early access later this year I guess. The game will be nowhere near finished but at least should give a decent idea of what the finished product will be.
I never really leave comments/reviews for games, especially for vn games, but after finishing an ending in this game (v0.5.5) a few minutes ago, I feel like I had to write one up, mostly to vent it out.
Just to get it out the way, HEED THE WARNING in the game description and If you are looking for a harem type vn, I am warning you to STEER CLEAR away from this game. I Acknowledge that I was not the target audience for the game and it left a very negative impression on me.
But, if you are looking for something different, unique from other vns, you will love this, from an artistic perspective, It is a phenomenal story. It is great, I see the vision, I remember seeing a comment about the bad ending making this game stand out, and I agree. That was the vision, I wouldn't change a thing.
But as a person that was not the intended audience, a harem vn enjoyer, man did the ending f me up. I was enjoying the game till the ending, I was hoping for a good ending, or just a harem ending, instead the ending I got came out of left field, even if it was foreshadowed. Like I said before, I respect the art, I hope you don't take any offence to what I say next Mr.Developer, but I genuinely hope I forget about this story, may it be erased from my memory. Other than that, I wish you the best, and I wish you luck, keep up the good work:)
Hello there.
Thank you for your honest review. I do appreciate feedback especially when they are objective like yours.
Indeed, you are not the target audience!
However, I feel like I have to add that this bad ending is avoidable and in the most recent version of the game, I included a walkthrough to make it easier to explore the different paths.
That being said, even like that, Summer Scent isn't a Harem game.
But there will be happy endings. In fact, there will be more happy endings than anything else. But no harem.
Again, thank you for your feedback!
There's currently two (or more) ways to be in a relationship with Cassie and Eve without the horrible ending you went through.
Needs less focus on shooting out constant development logs filled with minor info dumps and endless constant tweaking of past chapters few of us will deign to replay, and more focus on new material. From what I recall, I think there were only two semi-substantial updates that actually included new material in like two years maybe? Had forgotten this game even existed till now. If they were major updates, I could understand it. But they were pretty minor. The game has potential but needs more focus on the finish line and less fixation on creative perfection of already released materials riddled with rewrites and do overs. Those can be tweaked on or after the final version in my opinion. Stop questioning every step, and push your project forward. These types of games need major updates every 6 months to hold interest. Had my interest a year ago. Not so much anymore.
Well, sorry if you don't like it, but I think these updates are important. I want those who follow me to know what I'm working on.
Sinde 2022, I published about 70 k words of content and about 2000 renders. Not counting what I'm working on at the moment. I have no doubt that it can feel shallow if you play only a path rather than the whole game. But the content is still there. I am slow, that is true. If I wasn't constantly tweaking, rewriting and over stuff, the game wouldn't be as "promising".
However, you are right about my dev cycle being too long. I release every 8 months at the moment, and it's clearly too long. I hope to improve this in the future, as I will be closing some loose ends that will simplify the branching and the writing. However, the posing will still be the most consuming part of the work and I don't see how I can compress it.
I think the Dev updates are very useful, but I can see how it can be annoying to see an update for the game only to find out it's not really an update. Keep doing you and ignore this guy. If he doesn't like it, he can find something else.
I personally really appreciate the dev updates. Sure I would love updated content faster, but if i know that the project is moving forward and whatever goes on behind the scenes, I feel that is valuable to me.
agree'd. some of the best AVNs have potato graphics.
and the following is not directed at anyone in particular -
it seems like too many devs are trying to create visual perfection and get stuck in constant 're-work' cycles, and they forget us consumers are just looking for cartoons we can use our own imaginations with to fill in the gaps. if we wanted photorealism, we'd just watch porn. we play AVNs for the story, not the pretty pictures.
i dont care how many hairs are on the head of the girl, or how deep her 7.32 million 3d pores are, as long as she has something interesting to say.
theres nothing worse than getting invested in a story, then finding out that the author will probably get covid and die before its finished. and its all due to the subscription model. worse, idea, ever. i dont care how may boring teenagers who would otherwise have to stay in school, and instead can now make boring teenage games for bored teenage audiences. patreon = worst, idea, ever.
Well, that's quite simple. Without Patreon, I wouldn't be working on that game.
It's not about making something perfect, but something decent.
You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
I'm trying to transform my vinegar into honey.
That's why the rework needs to happen.
"Without Patreon, I wouldn't be working on that game."
a sacrifice i'm prepared to make for a better system to develop.
i'm so old, i remember when ppl sold finished products.
please help me. i've bought the game to play on my mac. but when it ry to install it this app says that the title is hosed on a third party website. i've downloaded it through Chrome but i can't install and play the game.
Hello there.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Itch support forwarded your mail to me. I replied, hoping they would it forward to you.
According to the renpy documentation, you have to uncompress the archive and directly double-click the app.
I'm quoting the documentation because I don't own a mac and never tried it myself. However, feedback from mac users seems to confirm that.
Let me know if it helps you!
You can contact me directly on Discord for a more instantaneous discussion.
i tries to start the application by double clicking the icon. i recieve the message that the developer can't be verified. and the mac can't verify that the app doesn't have malware in it
Hello again.
It's normal. You will have to trust me and launch the app anyway.
The error message should give you some options. Something like “Open the Settings App, and approve the unverified app”
hi again, the only options i get are cancel and move to bin. that's all
I found some articles that might help you :
https://www.lifewire.com/fix-developer-cannot-be-verified-error-5183898
Especially these points :
3 - If you’re sure you trust the app developer, you can override your security settings and allow the app to install and open.
4 - Bypass the block in your Security & Privacy settings. If the previous method didn’t work, you can go into your Security & Privacy settings and do it manually.
5 - Download the app through Safari. If the above process didn’t work, make sure you downloaded the app using Safari. There’s an issue where downloading apps through other browsers, like Chrome and Edge, will cause a problem when trying to install unsigned apps.
I hope this will resolve your issue.
Thank you for your patience.
I love this game so much, quick question how long will this game be once everything is done? Just asking out of curiosity that's all. Keep up the good work as always and take your time with the new update!
Hello, and thank you.
Right now, the game is about 270 000 words. And I think I'm at about 65% of the story.
Once finished (including the rework of old content), the whole thing will probably be around 450 000 words.
However, I have no goals in terms of words or amount of content. This is just an estimation.
Man, your game is very good. I have played all of versions and new version which day 6 part 3 is added. U sure worked on that well. But .. I think I changed beginning toooo much. You added new dialogues and removed old ones, but I can surely say old one's were better - for example, in new version , Cassie sees MC as a hero and gives all of weird speech(too much) just for he picked her up on the street. I mean her love started too fast it became weird. In old version , it was sure better.
And why spending time on Cassie Dom path? Man, I love your game but this path is absolutely bulshit, and why need for to double it? So his a-hole can be destroyed better? Dude, instead you could make Kelly path better or add 7th day. It is disturbing to watch as you say "not great sex scene incoming; save here".
All the problems aside, this 6th day made things more clear and better. I don't know, if game was a book, I would have read 11million lines. Hope we will get full release soon.
Thank you for your feedback!
I'll check the new version of day one. I didn't find Cassie to be "falling in love" with Jack that easily, but maybe I'm wrong.
I understand perfectly that some may not like the femdom-oriented paths. But some others do!
The seventh day is still pretty far away. The night of day 6 is going to be quite eventful and heavy on the lewds. I'm not sure how I will split it. There is a lot of content ahead and I won't be able to release it in a single update.
Yeah man, you got spirit. Just don't worry about some haters words, you know , they were ass fucked whIle they were kid by their uncle that made them addicted to extreme sex. They just can't feel the power of Lines.
As I said, we hope better updates soon too, like I sometimes forget about how many damn paths your game has, each with its own story.
And do a little favour by making MC's parents late by adding some serious problems like - thief steal their passport, or dad's business works last longer. Idk others but I would wait more than I waited for GTA VI . Thanks 😎 dude
I'll try to stay positive. Even if it's not always easy.
The parents will be late, but they will come back on Sunday, that is set in stone. But who knows what can happen after that ?
It is up to you
Show post...
I scan this I think it got viruses I think need to re download and scan again I think the files got hacked.
May I ask which files ?
Show post...
Your game file perhaps it's my imagination I used virus total not a good website.
I scanned the files and didn't find anything. However, I know that renpy games may give some false positive with some AV.
Better safe than sorry however!
Show post...
I trust deveplors and it wont be there fault theres humdred pf games itchio cant scan them all.
Good game, hope the hate of others dont affect you with the good work you are doing
Thank you ! I try to stay positive and focused !
This is the most bullshit thing i have ever seen?
you try to make money by fooling us?!?!
It's really nothing!!!
You are literally wasting our time !!!!
What is the problem exactly?
I feel like you're being dishonest on purpose.
The game is about 270 000 words long, with several thousands of images. Is that nothing, according to your standards?
I feel like I shouldn't even be replying to your message.
You're the one wasting my time here.
I agree, you shouldn't give these morons any more air time than they've already stolen. Having written one small online novella, I know how much time that took me and that was just words - this visual novel of yours is a mammoth undertaking, I'm in awe of what you're doing.
I just tried to download the game after buying it, but the external link doesn't work.
Hello.
May I ask which version of the game are you trying to download?
On my side, all the links seem to work properly.
Do you encounter a specific error?
If you haven't fixed the issue yet, feel free to hit me on Discord and we'll see what we can do.
Thanks. I fixed the issue. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
God! I love your game! I just finished my third playthrough and IT. WAS. PERFECT. Eve just melted in MC's hands and it was so real and surreal at the same time. That's what I wanted to get when I was playing the game for the first time and now it's sooo rewarding! The way you write dialogs - I don't know what it is - but it is so perfect!
Thank you for your kind words!
Your game is fucked up, you know? I love it.
After endless harems I played it's good reality check.
I just registered here to leave this comment.
I just finished my first playthrough, it ended terribly and now I cant sleep. I love your writing. I could own almost all character choices like my own. That made this game feel personal. But I couldn't own MC's decisions from the past - I wasn't there to make it. So kinda this makes me feel conflicted. But overall - thanks for the game. Am gonna find the rought to make everyone happy.
Hey, thank you!
I considered making some kind of flashback so that the player could play the moment Mc understands he is in love with Eve and the torment that comes with it, but I'm not sure it would make much sense. I would have to show much more than that moment for it to "feel real".
We'll see. Maybe I'll change my mind, maybe I'll find something else to make it feel more personal.
Who is Eve? You do remember that let us choose the names? I absolutely hate to do so in any game like this. By Eve you mean the childhood friend of MC? Whan I was talking about the past decisions I was talking about the MC's decision to believe to the rumors about her. I don't believe I would have done it. I always weighted hard evidence much more than any words. And since not so long ago I started weighting more the feelings of those I care about. You could say I started to learn how to care about people. So I don't think in my case it could've been done believable. That's why I like amnesia troupe. It can look as cheap trick but it deletes the untold past you should share with MC and that really makes it easier to believe in his decisions like in your own. It wont work if writing is bad, but your writing is just excellent. Mur Mur uses it really good. After the moment where the girl friend of MC's childhood friend (what have you done! Please, don't make us choose the names anymore in your projects!) shares whith us that all rumors are fake and MC's childhood friend not a bitch but just a weak person who give up fighting everyone around her I really believed in all choices like in my own. Almost in all. When in the end MC started talking 'it's a fate' talk I was upset with him. I prefer to own my choices. Even if they lead into a bad situation. "I choose what I choose cuz I believed that I was doing right choices. I own my choices and I meant everything I said." - that would be my talk. (I don't know how to talk about specific ending without spoilers). That ending left me disturbed but I still appreciated it. After how Domekano had ended I started to think of polyamory as of the solution in any story with similar conflicts. This ending reminded me how real people would see it. It's hard to make. You need to be dedicated. You need to know what you want clearly. And you need to be ready for failure. Thanks for reminding me that real people don't make life easy.
I guess you haven't played the most recent version of the game. For several reasons, I have removed the option to rename the girls after v0.5.5.
Eve is indeed the "Childhood friend", Cassie is her friend. Jack, the MC, is the only one you can still rename. I still think that renaming the MC can be useful for immersion, but renaming the girls was useless and annoying. I won't make that mistake again in any hypothetical future game.
After v05.5, depending on the path you choose, you can also learn more about what has led Jack (MC) to make that decision in the past. I won't spoil it. But it's a human reaction.
Real people don't make life easy. I like that. Despite their best intentions, people are selfish, afraid, ashamed, shy and many other traits that make discussions and relationships ambiguous and uneasy to read. A lot of players don't like that. They want to be a manly hero who understands everything immediately and is always right, forward, confident, strong and successful. Jack isn't like that at all. He is a human being and so are the other characters of Summer Scent. They're all flawed and I believe that's what makes them endearing.
I agree with 99% of your reply. But obviously I'm in the minority with the renaming of the girls. I really like that as a feature of any VN - one quick example, in the "Evil Asshole" playthrough I named Jack, "Adolf" (for obvious reasons - although I didn't appreciate how evil it would get!) and it would have been good to be able to rename the girls with a consistent naming convention. But your game so your choices, I respect that.
Removing the renaming option wasn't an easy decision but I still think that was a good one. The mistake was to offer the renaming option in the first place. I do understand, however, that the player may want some degrees of customisation to improve his immersion. As with everything, that's a thin line to walk on.
Will 6.3 be free or is 5.5 the last free update
V5.5 is the last free update.
I might put together a proper demo once I release the game on Steam. It will most likely be shorter than v5.5.
When are you trying to get the game on Steam?
graphics are similar, and equally outstanding as Halfway House (i recognized the Deli :),i just started, but i'm already convinced
Anyone got idea how to kidnap developer and make him to make new versions? I am eager to ay ideas. And btw, when is new update we are waiting for 3months?
It will take some time.
I'm done with the rework part of the next update and I'm currently working on new content. More about that in the next Dev Update.
Ohh so I must suffer again. Shit
Sorry !
Don't worry dude, take Ur time, all of this updates worth Oscar. So let this one to be
I downloaded this game and MC's sister Eve is not his sister but his childhood friend. Really would have prefered Eve to be his sister.
Is there a way to fix that.
In the last release, Eve is more of an adopted sister.
The official release will stay that way, for now.
Ok, I understand. Will there be other women added in the future?
When I started the game, Eve and jack were twins but I had to change it because of Patreon Policies.
I know that there is a patch somewhere that redefine their relationship.
Sorry!
Eve, Cassie and Kelly are the only girls you can romance.
Thanks again for the reply. I've been to a site that does patches for these types of games, but my computer doesn't like them, so I guess I'll just have to accept Patreons hypocitical polices.
Any idea where one could find this patch?
I cannot be more precise, sorry!
why the H do you want her to be a sister ? that's nuts
Everyone has different Kinks Bud. Some people even get off on kink shaming, which is something I think is nuts, but to each their own.
Wow, what an Amazing game! I am eagerly waiting for the full version. This is better than most telltale games. The number of paths and ways that the story could go is just Amazing.
Thank you!
Tbh how many paths/endings we currently have on this game? The very first path is when Cassie got the worst end while Eve lost her mind. I know I have a strong heart but I cried for a couple of minutes because of what happened. It's just real sad tbh
The finished game will have 18 paths + a couple of variants and bad endings.
As of v0.6.3, 3 paths have yet to emerge and only one bad ending is reachable.
There will be more bad endings in the future but none will be as painful as the one you played through.
By the way, that bad ending is avoidable.
gotchu. thanks for the info!
You're very welcome!
Wait, so this game will ONLY have Bad endings lol? No good ending? No bittersweet ending?
Very bizzare choice for a Short Story type game with a focus on branching paths. Makes all your choices kind of meaningless in the end
Of course not. Most of the endings will be "good".
if i had my way, im make it all bad endings, and i wouldnt tell anyone so you have to suffer through them all on fruitless search for "the good ending", and i wouldnt make it all that good to be worth the suffering you went through.
#DancingLessons
I'm sure that would be an interesting experience!
Hey, i realy appreciate your work so far. Unbeliveable how many different ways of the story you are able to put in and every twitch makes sense and in every twitch is so much effort to see. Never had a game that style that astonished me more. Now my question. In the pathfinder there are 3 Mystical Path shown. I already tried all kinds of ways to hit on 1 of these without any luck. They already exist or is there any hint how to find them? I guess is a numeros of answers you have to do in the right way to open than but till yet i was unlucky with that. Can you give help with that in any way? Thx a lot.
Hello. Thank you for playing my game!
As of v0.6.3, the three "mysterious paths" haven't branched from the other paths yet. They will be "unveiled" as soon as they have some proper unique and dedicated content.
Ok, thx for your answer. Than i dont need to search for it right now like crazy ;). im curious a lot for next updates what else will happen in all these stories.
You're very welcome.
The night will be eventful, but I will need some time to develop it.
I have a billing question. I mistakenly bought this at 3$ instead of 5$. Then bought it again for the remaining 2$, but I still can't download the newest version. Edit* forgot to add the question. How can I get the two purchases combined so that I can get the newest version?
I sent a discord in general channel. But if you have a spare sec just dm me :) looking forward to playing the game!
We'll see what we can do! 😉
question is their pregnancy in Summer Scent?
No. The whole story will represent 9 days. If pregnancy happens, it will be in an ending. So far, I haven't planned anything like that.
if there was hope its a cassie ending after all cassie is my favorite haha
Who knows ?
Hello. Thanks you for your amazing work, its been 2 weeks since i have downloaded this game and it still cant make me bored. When i first played it, it disappoints me. But after trying more options, I managed to play in all paths and i was like "Holy mother of fcking god". I had never imagined that adult game would contain so much emotions, and that script is like a fireee. Is there any way that I can suppoet your work and get more updates? If there is, then please tell me.
Well, I'm glad you liked my game!

The last version of the game, however, is already available here on Itch.
The next release won't happen before a few months.
For now, you cannot. But maybe in the future...
wow, the ending was so sad but so good. Nice job i hope to see more of this game.
and why did you make the ending so sad, it left me heartbroken
Thank you.
It's a "bad ending". I wanted it that way. Other endings won't be that harsh.
is there a discord or somewhere where i can follow the updates
Yes there is :

Thanks
Has the discord channel changed? Can't add your channel to my feed
Will the new update also be on android?
I found a way to make a build. However, I'm not sure it will be compatible with your previous saves. I have a few things to fix to make it work properly. I'll release it next week.
Any chance of non-3rd party files in the works? This game looks like it'd be good, but I want it on my Steam Deck.
I'm currently working on making the game Steam compatible. It's one of the focus of the version I'm currently working on. But I'm afraid it won't be available on Steam before a few months.
Oh, perfect. No worries, I'll just have to wait a bit, but I'm happy to hear it's in the works. Besides Steam itself, will it be verified/playable on the Steam Deck, too?
I have no way to test it on a steam deck but it should be fully playable on that device.
Awesome. No worries. I'll just have to wait and see, and hope for the best. Thanks.
Anybody know what the three mystery routes are?
is there a game guide or walkthrough to get to all of the different endings? I saw a list somewhere of the possible endings, can't find it again.
The game is still in development and there are no endings for now, aside from a bad one.
The last version of the game includes a walkthrough mode.
why is the bad ending what you did first so people stay tuned to see the harem ending ?? if there isn't, there's no reason for me to keep playing it.
I'm sorry, what ?
How many endings does the game currently have. I always get the bad ending. had hoped there would be an end to the harem but so far not. I also looked for a walkthrough but couldn't find one. I don't know what has changed in the last updates but the ending is probably the same as it was 1 or 2 years ago when I played it for the first time.
As of the last version available, v0.6.3, there are no endings aside from the bad one.
The game is still in development and I progress each path at the same time.
The bad ending happens on the morning of day five. In v0.6.3, all paths have progressed up to day 6, end of the afternoon. Most paths will end on day 9.
V0.6.3 includes a walkthrough mode that you can activate from the preference screen.
I found the "bad" ending by mistake, and let me tell you, it threw me. Wow!
I plan to add more bad endings, but none will be as brutal as this one.
where and when can we get this version?
2nd game today that when I purchase it gives me an error saying purchase not completed but Paypal is billing me. Both Games this and The Awakening are in EU and require an address to be filled out for some legal reason. Is it awaiting the game creator to verify to release the download?
No. The game should be available immediately as long as you payed the required sum. That sounds like an Itch problem. Contact me on discord so we can look at this together.
Is there a way to play it on Android? Or do I have to start my progress over on the PC? Also when is it going to become free if at all? If not that's okay I'd definitely pay!
About Android: I don't know.
I couldn't produce a working Android build for v0.6.2R and v0.6.3 because of a library bug. I'm still looking into it but I cannot promise I'll be able to compile a functioning build.
So far, you should be able to play it with Joiplay. But I don't think you'll have any compatibility with saves coming from a native build.
I consider Summer Scent like a PC game. The Mac and eventual Android builds are bonuses. The reason is simple: I cannot be sure that I will be able to produce a Mac or Android build with every release.
The game will never become free. I plan to release it on Steam in a few months.
Amazing game but i have a question in a moment we see "Jaye" the redhead girl and i see her in a game but i dont remember the name its possible to have the name of the game where she from ? Thank you
Hello. i'm glad you like Summer Scent. Jaye comes from Chasing Sunsets, by Stone Fox Studios.
When i saw this game and started playing and got to where Cassie leaves i thought it was going to be like she comes back i was not expecting what happend to happen the way you wrote it is so realistic as to what would happen not all happy endings as in life cant wait fo more
I'm glad you liked it !
it really blew me away i cant wait for more its like a breath of realism
The next episode is currently available on Patreon and Subscribe Star. I'll publish it on Itch in a couple of weeks.
