Just remembered this beautiful VN yesterday, I was worried because I haven't heard any update for like almost a year so I was prepared to see THAT tag on this thread but the dev is actually still active interacting here so I guess that's good news?

I started playing this game only a couple months ago but am I missing something here? The last update was in January 2021. It hasn't even been half a year, let alone almost a year.

Yeah he works on both right now and one of both games will get a update this month as far as I know. The other one has to wait for bug testing and fixing of the first updated game and will be updated likely a month or two later I believe.

I had no prior experience with any 3D work at all. I just started Daz, got some assets, and started rendering for WiAB. (My first renders are in the game.)

That is seriously impressive. The MC and Katie scene at the basketball court might be my favorite scene in any VN I've played. Thanks for your hard work and fighting through the setbacks.

I absolutely agree with you. There are many games that have great art and a shit story. I don't play those longer than it takes to find out how bad the story is. This game is amazing because of it's great story and art. The art helps sell the story.

Totally with you. Couldn't agree with you more. In most adult VNs and games (and pornography generally) the story's sole purpose is to introduce the characters and then link one sex scene with another, gratuitously, whereas in OceanLab VNs sex is integral with, although subordinate to, a truly epic story rather than the main thing (or even the only thing) that the story is about. The visual art, static and animated, is exceptionally fine and lovely to view but without the high drama, dialogue, mystery, suspense and cast of engaging, flawed, multifaceted characters, all interacting with each other in messy, touching, complicated and very human ways, OceanLab creations wouldn't be as emotionally engaging or fabulously entertaining as they are.

Hand on heart: IMHO OceanLab has set a new high-water mark insofar as the visual novel is concerned.

I'm a critical and demanding person, not easy to please, but as far as these VNs are concerned I'm :) (y) all the way!

(And 100% #teamVictoria, by the way, despite the Nami and Katie sigs.)

Forget everything else. The renders on Bella's car is a frikin' Masterpiece!. They even feel overdone compared to everything else sometimes lol...

To be fair, vehicles are much easier to get looking just right as compared to something like people, the bar for the uncanny valley is much lower.

Look at her! I mean really just look at her ... she is gorgeous!
So there is nothing but her, the wonder babe
and one submissive megatron hiding and lights on for her gorgeous body.
