Because you want to make me uncomfortable by giving me so much money. I probably can't thank you enough. But still, you have my gratitude!

Dev Update #328
This week flew fast.
I didn't really find a "good" solution to my image quality issues on scene 34. I had several leads, but none of them ended up giving satisfying results. In the end, as the problem was due to compression, I opted for brute force and simply used a slightly less intense compression. I usually compress into JPG 98. I compressed scene 34 into JPG 99. That didn't solve the issue, but made it bearable and kept the file size in check. Of course, a solution would be to not use any compression at all. And I would if I could, but the game would then be around 20 GB, and I don't think most of you would enjoy downloading a game that size.
Anyway. I'd say the problem is solved for now. Of course, if Ren'Py were so kind as to support JPGxl, that would pretty much solve the issue in a much more satisfying way. But let's move on.
I think we need to talk about the music.
I think I've been pretty vocal about my distaste for AI-generated stuff, including AI-generated music. And that is very shameful that I have to inform you that I am now using AI for Summer Scent's music.
Last time I checked, AI Music felt soulless and janky, but it has since then evolved, and a friend managed to talk a still reluctant captain into trying some new AI tools. And the captain was amazed by the results.
I played with that new tool for a while, was frustrated with the randomness of it, and amazed by the average quality it was capable of producing. But it wasn't for me until I discovered I could basically feed my guitar into the AI and give it the lines I wanted it to play. So, of course, it's way more time-consuming than just writing a prompt, but the results are way less random, much more satisfying, and I managed to get something pretty close to the ideal tracks I had in my mind for a while now. Writing the lyrics also took some time, as it's a very different exercise from writing pure prose, but the songs tell exactly the story I want them to. That is very satisfying.
Of course, I would have preferred hiring a band and booking a studio, but that would have been dozens of thousands of dollars in investment. In the meantime, my guitar and I, and a $30 subscription, managed to produce something that sounds decent. (Well, actually, it took me two months, so, $60).
So v0.6.7 comes with two songs and three instrumentals that you won't be hearing anywhere else. I hope you'll like them.
Beta test has started!
The plan is to run it over the weekend, and if possible, release it on Subscribe Star starting Monday evening, European time. If everything goes as planned :
- The game will be available for download to **Sailing masters and up on December 15th**.
- The update files will be available for download to **Gunners on December 22th**.
- The update will be available on **Steam and Itch on December 29th**.
What's new?
- Three new scenes. Two on the Moronic Hero path. One on Kelly's path.
- About 17000 words and 530 images of new content. One new short animation loop.
- New music. Songs for both the Title Screen and the Credits Screen, and instrumentals for the new scenes.
- As always, plenty of corrected typos.
- Some retcon action.
I'll give you a more complete and detailed change log on release.

Dev Update #327
Everything is rendered and post-processed.
I had some unexpected issues with the video compression of the animation, with weird artefacts appearing randomly in the final results (these artefacts were not present in the individual frames, just in the video). I've lost a lot of time reassembling the video again and again, trying different settings before I got it right. I didn't have these issues with my previous animations; I guess this is because of the low-light environment I used.
I have a similar issue with some shots in scene 34. Some of them present some pretty disgraceful artefacts that appeared during post-processing ( Essentially, during the conversion into a JPG). And so far, I haven't found a satisfying way to remove them. Hopefully, they won't be too disturbing, but I can't say I'm 100% satisfied with the result. I'll see if I find a solution next week, but I highly doubt I'll find anything really efficient.
Coding.
Scene 34 is in phase three, which means it is functional. Phase three is about coding in the music, SFX, and achievements.
I'm awaiting the return of Scene 35 from proofreading.
The music.
At the moment, I'm working on the soundtrack itself, and I will most likely invest a part of next week in that task too. Depending on the results of my work, I might give you a little taste of some new tracks to come in the near future.
I still have a lot of work to do on the script, but I think I should be able to launch the beta test next weekend.
The quick sum up :
- Day 6 Part 7 will contain 3 new scenes: scenes 33, 34, and 35.
- Scenes 33, 34, and 35 have been written.
- Scenes 33, 34, and 35 are fully posed, rendered, and post-processed.
- 4 384 lines of script so far.
- 17 047 words of new content.
- 527 shots are planned, 527 are posed, 527 are rendered, 527 are post-processed.
- 1 animation is planned. 150/150 frames are rendered and post-processed.
- I'm currently working on the music.
You can follow my progress on this Trello board.
You can also buy Summer Scent on Steam!
Thank you for your support!

Dev Update #326
The posing of scene 35 is done. I have yet to render the last twenty shots or so, but I can already move on to the next task.
Coding, post-processing, correcting typos and bugs, more coding, the music thing, and some testing. It's going to be my program starting Monday. I hope to be done with all that before December 10th, then a few days of Beta testing should be enough. The goal is still to release before Christmas on Subscribe Star, and 2 weeks later on Steam and Itch, with a corrected version.
The reworked scene is officially postponed to the next update, which could be dedicated to reworked content and, as such, should arrive much faster.
Health-wise, I'm getting better. I still have some pains, but I'm feeling better every day.
The quick sum up :
- Day 6 Part 7 will contain 3 new scenes: scenes 33, 34, and 35.
- Scenes 33, 34, and 35 have been written.
- Scene 35 is rendering.
- Scene 33 and 34 are fully posed and rendered.
- 2898 lines of script so far.
- 16 951 words of new content.
- 527 shots are planned, 527 are posed, 506 are rendered.
- 1 animation is planned. 150/150 frames are rendered.
- I'm currently coding scene 35.
