Changelog:

I spent the whole week posing scene 38, and I'm glad to say I've made some great progress. I've reached shot #165 out of 271 planned. So we're well over the 50% threshold, and I have 106 shots before I'm done with this scene. I don't know if I'll be able to progress that fast next week, as the poses are becoming more difficult to execute, but I'll do my best.

Rendering is progressing nicely too, even though it's lagging behind, as I simply can't render as fast as I pose. Shot #96 was rendered last night. Quality is good so far, although I will have some correction work to do in post-processing to erase some slight clipping issues on a few images. Obviously, I'm talking about the girls' nipples who insist on poking through their tops, even if barely.

Other stuff.

A week has passed since my attempt at publishing a demo on Itch, and I received no replies from Itch support. I can't say I'm really surprised; however, they are notoriously bad at this. I'll mail them again.

The quick sum up.

V0.6.8 will contain 4 scenes: Day 6 Scenes 36, 37, 38, and 39.

Day 6 Scene 36 has been written, posed, rendered, post-processed, and coding phase one is complete.

Day 6 Scene 37 has been written, posed, and rendered, coding phase one is complete.

Day 6 Scene 38 has been written.

642 shots are planned, 536 are posed, 467 are rendered, and 188 are post-processed.

21 460 words of new content so far.

2 222 lines of code.

3 tracks are ready.

I'm currently working on posing scene 38.

Player Comments of Summer Scent:

great story, incomplete though, disappointed at how it stopped when i was just getting hooked. hope to see this story complete someday. I noticed that the story took different turns drastically if you made different choices and that was very interesting. i had to replay it to see if the story was more complete. 

This is one the best games I have ever played, the way this developer is able to get that emotion between the charecters right is what makes me like it, sure there are lots of games with porn, but I always go searching for the ones with actual meaningfull story, and this in my opinon is good enough, and it also has lots of choice, but a bit sad the truly degenerate ones dont amount to anything, but overall I love it.

So well written, with some exceptional good dialogues. The renders are pretty good and the world/environment looks believable with great attention to detail. The 'spicy' sceens could - imho - be a little more spicy, but they match the story and the drive of the story.

Well done developer!

Good writing, good renders, but I feel that there is too much variation in the available paths, that it takes too much time to produce an update, and each update only progresses each path slightly. Once finished, it should be very good, but that wait is going to be long. I understand why, as the game seems to have changed from it's much simpler beginnings, and as it progresses, the complexity of those paths likely increases too.

Not that many devs undertands the importance of good writing, the way the each character is fleshed out even if it lack a bit of nuance is developed in a cohesive and interesting way. The renders are appealing enough to keep you going forward with great care on the expressions and lighting; theres a special kind of charm on their design since they're good looking enough but not overly gorgeous. The incosistency in the background music can be distracting so I hope that gets fixed. The branching in the choices is interesting but at times can feel frustraiting if you get stucked so an improvement on the hints the game offers could be a good point to work on. There's a good build up to the sex scenes and even with the lack of animations the dynamic camera angles make up for that. Overall this AVN is a joy to read and I hope the dev keeps their vision and completes the story.

Conclusion:

Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Summer Scent, where your decisions truly matter. With its branching story, key choices, and affinity points system, this game offers a unique and interactive narrative experience. Explore the eighteen different paths, each with its own consequences and outcomes.
