Season to be nice to each other ;)

Christmas #1

Christmas is coming... ;)

An idea...

Hello Senior+!

I had an idea about another game, and I submit here like the "teaser", in order to know if it's a game you'd like to play... or not :D The idea is really different from Summer Vacation, it could be a kind of "survival" game, less "serious" than SV. Let me know what you think!

S16 - Summer Vacation Update!

Hello Everyone!

Dev version 0.3.1 is there! 

As I told you, I had issue with a Nvidia drivers so I did my best with my technical issue to render something. The good news is that it's now fixed, but it took 1 month to get it fixed by Nvidia... So I'm late on my planning It was so long and frustrating for me... and for you at the end!!

In term of evolution, we started (again) to work on the spanish version. We've translated S1, S2 and S3. I plan to release the translation...

Strange things happen at Halloween... Poor Carlos.

S15 - Summer Vacation Update!

Hello Everyone!

As promised, version 0.28.1 is here! We continue our story as expected, that is the good news. It's two days ingame, however they are "short", so I joined 2 days in order to have something a little bit more consistent. Of course, new pictures to unlock, new choices and... and that's it ;).

I have however a bad news. I upgraded my computer and I'm currently unable to work on the game as I can't really render pictures. Well, I can render some but a feature I use (cal...

Mat & Peter's Halloween

About Parties? To each his own!

Fabien prepares halloween

Hey there!

While working on the next game update, I wanted to make something a bit different. Fabien looks like preparing himself for halloween, mexican way. Or maybe he wants to become a model? Who knows? (this not canonical, of course).

Hope you enjoy it :)

S13 - Summer Vacation Update!

Hello Everyone! 

Day 13 (version 0.26.1) is finally here! As I've said previously, we're continuing to work on a branching story, and in this update, we've even added a new one that might surprise you! The SMS system has been working properly on our end, and I have to say I'm pretty happy with it, as we intend to make use of Mat's phone again and again! 

There's new photos, a new gallery branch to unlock and four new branches to explore. Days 14 and 15 will be released a...

Update to come / Sneaky Pics

Hello everyone,

I do hope you had a great summer time!

Some news! Since I've been on hollidays for 3 weeks, far from my computer, I'm very late on my own planning! But I really needed this break from work (you already know about my new job :p Things are going to get better in 2/3 months, I can't wait!). 

By the way, did you see Space Corps news update, 2 weeks ago? First part of a mission takes place... in Summer Vacation with our characters ;) 2022-08-20 11:58:14 +0000 UTC View Post

S12 - Summer Vacation Update!

Hello everyone!  

I'm happy to release S12 (0.25.3)! And about time, I'd say.  

As I mentioned previously, it's been really a really hectic time for me at work, and I've had some issues finding free time to work on the game. But here it is! 

As I said in the previous update, I worked on the SMS system, however I had to rework it, due to a bug. So please, don't use any of your day 11 saves you have or your game will just crash ...

1 year already... #1/2

Hello everyone!

Can you believe it's been a year already...
I launched Summer Vacation in May of last year.
One year on, I think it's a good time to take a little review of the game.

I started, like many of you I guess, to watch and play visual novels because I found them exciting, obviously. But also because they were very often very original and innovative in terms of story. 

I think that the one that made the biggest impression on me was 'Straight?!' by Aaryn,...

1 year already... #2/2

Happy Birthday Summer Vacation, some renders for Patrons ;) Hope you'll appreciate them :)

Just a drop...

I only put that here...  ;)

S11 - Summer Vacation Update!

Hello everyone!

I hope you are doing well!

It's finally here!!! I am so happy... so here is S11 (v0.24.2). As I told you few days ago, I worked with Poncho and Jammy on a crossover which has been announced on SpaceCorp page from RanliLabz, so we were a little late on everything ;) That's why I am so gla...

Work in progress

Hello there,

I wanted to give you a little update on where I am currently :)

First of all, I took the time to re-render old pictures, as you can see above. When I started the game several months ago, I did not really understand everything in 3D (I can't say I'm a master now, not at all, but I can definitely make better pictures). So I take this time to rework several scenes. I was really, really disappointed since... I realized I lost some of my raw files (I guess that when I had ...

Back on track!

Hello everyone!  

I hope you are doing well. This is just a quick message to let you know that we're back on track, working on Summer Vacation, S11. A few weeks ago, I told you we were working on a side project and... now I can finally reveal it!  We've been working on an episode for SpaceCorps!

I had hoped to make more scenes for Space Corp, but reality shot that plan down real quick... and since we weren't able to give both projects the attention they deserved at the s...

Little story... without story ;)

Hello there,

I post just to give you some news. We're still working on the next update, and also on the side project I mentionned for weeks now. It takes time, but I'm sure you'll like it ^^

In the meantime, I decided today to work on the pictures enclosed, a little story with Erik... without story. 

Time to get back to work on the game so, have a nice week-end !

S10 is there!

Hello Patrons T2, T3 and T4!

You've been waiting patiently... And now here it is ! The latest update; S10 (v0.23)! I appreciate you sticking with me; as I'd mentioned previously, January was definitely a challenging month..! But we made it :-)

I can't say it's quite an entire new full day... It is but... Mat is as eager as you to get to the good part! Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy it! 

As you know, I had a project to translate the game into French and Spanish, however I h...

Happy Valentine's day!

Sneaky pic and news

Hello there,

I hope you're all doing well :) I wanted to post a little sneak pic from the next game update :)
I wanted to give you some news on where I stand so far on S11. This is purely estimation ^^

• Writing / Dialog : 50%
• Scripting : 30%
• Rendering : 20%
• Proofreading : 0%

As I told you, my job has changed since begining of january so I'm not able to work on the game during the week (too exhausted to work the evenings!). However, I ...

Happy new year!

Hello dear patrons,

I hope you had a great end of year time with your loved ones, and I wish you all the best for this new year.

We came back 2 weeks ago from vacation, and as you know, I just got a new job in my company (and I can tell you, that was hard to start!!!).

Unfortunately, I also got sick last week... COVID, once again, that was quite painful !!! (and a so bad timing being sick while starting a new job... as you can imagine). I'm only starting to feel better today...

Merry Christmas

Hello there,

Just a quick message when I am in Mexico with my husband's family to wish you all happy holidays! I hope you spend a valuable time with your loved ones.

PS: picture is Chichen Itza maya's pyramid I visisted 2 days ago :)

S9 - Dev Version update 0.22.0

Hey Tier 2, 3 & 4 Patrons!   

Here is the last update of the year, Day 9!  It was quite an adventure to get to today! As you might remember, I used to have to have some buffer updates, in order to be able to release versions on a regular basis. But right now, I have none, so I can't tell you how I happy I am to get it out to you today! This update contains a full new day, with three routes; one with Fabien, one with Carlos and one with your new potential roommate, Jin...

Christmas spirit!

Hello there!

I hope you're all doing well.

We're preparing the next update Patreons & Public update, which will be out before I leave  the 17th for 2 weeks (holidays, yeahhhhh).

In the meantime, I wanted to share some pictures for this very special season! Ah, the Christmas spirit, trees, light, gift, dwarves... 

Talk to you soon ;) 

- Erwin

PS : Updated with what happened next :p

Movember!

Hello Patrons!

It's november ! And you know... It's also "No shave november", or "Movember". Carlos was quite messing around with Jin, Fabien and Mat in the dorm' showers... That was the occasion to show you their wonderful (lol ?) mustache! ;)

Other than that, we're close to release the next update - you'll get it before Christmas for sure ^_^ 

I hope you are all well, and that you can prepare serenely for the end of years celebrations despite the sanitary context.

S8 - Dev Version update 0.21.0

Hey Tier 2, 3 & 4 Patreons! 

Here is the last update.... v0.21, which will allow you to really know what happens to start the Part 2! :) Part 2 that I call "S8", and I'll start to speak about 'Sx' instead of versionning. This is the numbering I decided to take some time ago to split files / days / scene, and that's the way I know I have to release a version ; when a SX is over, it's time for a patreon release :) That's why sometimes it's long, sometim...

Dev version 0.20.1 - Halloween update

Hey Tier 2, 3 & 4 Patrons!

As promised last week, below you'll find the Halloween update! It's a special scene you can find as a  "Bonus" in the main menu. I think I'll use this menu later for other events :)

But for now, you can discover the scene written by Jammy around the pictures posted couple of weeks ago.  

I have a few other small announcements: 

• First, I've released a little animation, available for Tier 3 & 4 Patr...

Halloween Steven's fantasy

Hello Patrons T3&4,

I'm doing some tests with video... and I think that you'd like to see this one, which is Steven in action ;-)

Let me know what you think about it, I am considering having more video in the future in the game.... It takes time, definitely... but does it deserve it ? Tell me !

- Erwin

Dev Version 0.20.0

Hey Tier 2, 3 & 4 Patreons! 

Here is a very special update.... v0.2! I won't lie, it's not the biggest in terms of content, but it's a major update for the story... This update is the end of Part 1. 

I'd love to hear from you all once you've finished it! - Artist thrive on feedback you know! Plus, Jammy had a pretty funny reaction when he proofread it, hoping you all will share too! 

The next update is very soon! If you remember I posted s...
