Summary | 0001844: Inconsistencies in panties hunt for Master Somrak | ||||
Description | Version 0.18.2. I did some testing on Master Somrak's quest wich asks the main character to find panties. And it reveals some inconsistencies in the gameplay behaviour: Issues: 1. I don't get the point to have a reminder to talk to Kevin about "Used Panties" if it's not a mandatory step for dexterity training. 2. You cannot take Debbie's panties in the basement if you haven't talked to Master Somrak first. But you can take Jenny's, Mia's and Roxxy's panties without talking to him beforehand. 3. For those two last panties, the main character will say "I bet master Somrak would like these." when he hasn't met Master Somrak yet. Solutions: 1. Remove the reminder to talk to Kevin or make this step mandatory (1st proposition has my preference). Reminders should be used for game objectives only. 2. Debbie's panties should be taken whenever we want, like for the other panties. 3. The main character should say "I bet master Somrak would like these." only if he has already met Master Somrak. The lack of consistency in the gameplay - whether in interactions with items or characters - is one of the negative points of the game. I have already had the opportunity to mention, for example, the management of the library's books (0001530) or the too many different ways of buying items (0000993). | ||||

Completely agree about the "lack of consistency in the gameplay". I mostly notice that indeed when picking up items or buying them. Some you can buy/pick up beforehand, with either the MC saying something that's too early or saying nothing. Whilst some items cannot be picked up/bought before a certain point in the story. I'd rather see the 1st option or 2nd option for all items, not some option 1 and others option 2. With experience I learned which items you can pick up and which you can't, but it doesn't always make sense. For example, you can buy the VR headset and world or orcette game before having started EriK's route, you can pick up the coin in the fountain, but you cannot pick up Debbie's panties. |

I would like to add that I understand the situation of Summertime Saga: it is a first project, which also implies a form of learning; several developers have succeeded each other; and unifying the gameplay while working on new content is not easy. It's a game I like but in which the rules are often contradictory, which makes it difficult for me when I explains them to other players. This criticism should be taken as a support and not an insult to the work done. |

^ I second that, I also just ment what a said as a tip/info for developers, I didn't mean any negative about it. | |
