Oh gosh I am SO GLAD I found this!!!!! I played the original version of Summer Found Me like 5-6 years ago. It was one of the first VNs I ever played and I LOVED it so so so much. I actually still remember parts of this VN to this day before I replayed it. 

One that stuck out to me was what Cherri said about the eye color thing. In college I tested it out between friends who were dating. I asked her what our guy friend's eye color was and she knew straight out even if our other friends hesitated. Sometimes I still remember that Devlin had a P folder on his computer that stood for "poetry". Heck, I didn't use a walkthrough for this and I still remember exactly which choices to make to get the ending I want hahaha

I do miss the old CGs, but it's funny cause I can kinda still see some of them in my head. I knew the parts of the game where there would have been CGs. I REALLY LOVED SFM OKAY HAHA

The dialogue in this VN is just as great as I remember it. The banter between characters is legitimately funny and flows so naturally. You're a terrific writer. Summer Found Me remains to be one of my favorite VNs.

Thank you so much for your comment! So cool to hear the eye color thing worked in real life. I honestly don't even remember how I came up with it,  probably was inspired by some character in a movie talking about their crush's eye color in detail or something like that. 

Recently I wanted to make an update to SFM to add a side image of the MC when she talks, like in the old version, and then if that worked maybe add back some CGs at least for this kissing scenes. Unfortunately the structure of ren'py (the VN engine) has changed so much since then I can't get it to show up so I don't think I can keep updating this. I should probably focus on a new game anyway haha.

No pressure at all to add anything to the game! I can't wait for the games you'll be making in the future. I do think you're a great writer. I know you say the story is super cliche and the characters are stereotypes, and they are, but what made those work was how well you wrote them. Replaying it now that I'm older and more mature, the story still holds up for me. There's a simplicity in working with simple cliche plot lines but what made them enjoyable was really how well the dialogue was written. I wish you the best of luck in everything you do!

also wow I just found out I actually played SFM in 2012 almost 10 years ago. It's been wayyyy longer than I thought. I can't believe I still remembered it so well!
