Yeah, and we knew already that some more LIs could be added ((like he referred to Nia) but that's new info indeed that the list might also drop some LIs except for those certain 6. That is not to say however that the list of LIs is not up to date as there has been no new info regarding those girls. I'm just a little shocked Sonya is not in his absolute list, because Ocean loves her so much. I'll edit the post anyway to mention that it can change ofc.

Hello,
Last Dev log I told you guys about the Workstation I ordered.
I managed to build it and everything went well.
I still lost around 3 days of developing due to all the setups I had to do, and boy... was this a headache.
I had connected all my PCs through my home network. This way, I have access to all assets from both games.
I tried everything to establish the connection but I still couldn't get it to work.
At the moment, PC 1 can't access PC2 and PC3 but they can access PC1. PC2 and PC3 also can't access each other.
I spent easily 12-14h on this issue, trying everything from changes to the IP, changing tons of ms.service thingies but I just couldn't access the other PCs and so I gave up and had to look for an alternative.
I now have a second Cloud that is connected to all three PC's and it allowed me to build an entirely new "Work-Network".
The good thing is, I can now work on for example WiAB, on all three PCs.
Before, I couldn't work on WiAB on the SG PC. It would through a huge amount of missing files.
2. NvLink
The current PC setup looks like this:
- SG is now on the Workstation and works with 2x3090 & 128GB Ram
- WiAB moved to the old SG PC and now has a 3090 + 2080Ti on 96GB Ram
- The third and oldest PC is only being used to render animations and currently only features a 2080Ti and 64GB Ram.
After I resolved the Network issue, I encountered the next headache.
One reason why I got a third 3090, was to make use of the NvLink.
Hooking it up to get ~40GB of VRam.
But as you can already imagine, NOTHING made it work.
I spent 1-2 days on this issue, constantly re-attaching the Bridge, switching cards, reading manuals, changing and deleting drivers, flashing the bios, updating drivers, etc.
The only thing I didn't do was to reinstall Windows. (It would've rendered all my previous work of setting up the work environment useless.) and I just gave up on it.
I ordered two different bridges to rule out a defect and yeah, I assume the issue is that I'm using mixed cards. (EVGA FTW3 Ultra + Asus TUF OC)
I was in contact with people that know a lot more about this than I do (Thanks Stoya and Hank Rockwell.) but even they didn't know what was wrong.
I kept one of the Bridges and I'll see that I can get a matching 3090 in the future. The other one would then go into the animation PC. (Which renders so fucking slow on a 2080Ti.) 120 Frame animation in 13h.
After I gave up on this, I encountered a new problem. I was locked out of the hard drives. (I switched my drives from the SG PC to the Workstation and gave the now WIAB PC a new 8TB drive.)
Took me a while to find the solution but gladly, I did.
3. Test rendering
One thing that is really grinding my gears is that Daz abandoned the ability to save materials for animation frames.
Short explanation: For every frame, the software needs to load in all the materials. Which isn't a big problem in small environments. (Still annoying.)
But now imagine the new WiAB House of the MC. (Or the basketball environment in Chapter 3,5. That's actually a reason I aborted one planned cinematic for Chapter 3.5.)
A TEST RENDER with 90 frames and just 75 iterations on 2x3090s took over an hour.
The actual render process of 75 iterations takes 5-10 seconds. Loading in the materials about a 45sec-1:15min.
Back in the day, you could save the materials by keeping the Iray preview on but these morons removed it for whatever reason and it's putting a huge dent into my render times that I just can't influence.
The example above is just for a test render. Trial and Error.
(Blender offers an option to keep all materials loaded.)
Alright, enough ranting.
5. Chapter 4
Now that the dust is settling, productivity will reach 110% again.
I actually don't have any previews for today.
I arrived at the second cinematic for the Tabletop session and I'm going to preview a bit of it when I'm done with it.
WiAB is releasing very soon and this is also going to lift some pressure off my shoulders.
I'm making much better progress with Chapter 4 than I did with Chapter 3 or 3.5.
Actually, I feel weird not showing at least a single preview.
4k version attached.
I'll keep you guys updated.
- Ocean
She is. And so is Nia.
It's just that I forgot to mention them because everything I say on Discord is spontaneous.
There are more Li's I didn't mention and that's just because I just forgot or want to keep it a secret for now.
But those mentioned (Including Nia and Sonya) are set in stone.

Are there any current characters that were introduced that you weren't planning on making a LI? Or vice versa.She is. And so is Nia.

Ehh, this really make me sad, he fleshed out Maja. Maja is such a sweet lady. I really like her.
Hope he changes his mind.
Glad that Nami, Bella and Mila is there in stone.

So player's MC can romance both Bella and Nami at the same time?" Nami: main LI (Nami/Bella is possible) "
That may be the most beautiful thing I ever read
Whoa, I didn't expect this.
Bella's obviously my favorite but I love Nami so much as well, so if that's a possibility, I'm game!

Reading this after waking up and my day is already great. Noting will ruin it now and I'm surely gonna sleep well knowing my Sonya, Sasha and Nadia are main LI. Just being greedy here... hoping Robin would be LI or just romanceable enough.She is. And so is Nia.

My understanding of this is that eventually we will have to choose.So player's MC can romance both Bella and Nami at the same time?

The slash (/) originally had me thinking that as well, but Ocean's use of the word "possible" in it feels a bit odd to me.
Why not just say "will not be compatible with Bella" like it was said with Amber with Bella's part, or better yet, just say "will have to choose between Nami and Bella"?
Feels pretty ambiguous with "Nami or Bella is possible."
It also shows with Victoria part with it saying for her "and can be compatible with every other girl" (which I'm guessing Victoria is okay with MC hooking up with other girls since she consider other girls to be her friends).
Oh well, in the end I'll be exploring both paths (if I do have to choose), so it won't matter.
But if somehow I can choose both.......oh boy......

The way I saw it was the path branch early in not compatible and branch closer to the end in compatible.The slash (/) originally had me thinking that as well, but Ocean's use of the word "possible" in it feels a bit odd to me.

Like, if you are after Bella, her mother will not be available regardless, but you can have something with both Bella and Nami until some moment in which you will have to pick.
But no ending having both.
After all, can you imagine Bella sharing? Would be really weird.. and not just her, many others too.

That's very true.
She does have a certain possessive mindset to her (when she sees Mila in the gym, she gives Mila impression that she already has claim over MC).
Though girl like Victoria, due to her personality (not even sure the girl gets jealous, heh), I'd imagine wouldn't mind sharing MC with others (as said by Ocean compatible with others).

If I'm not wrong once Victoria said that she's will be okay MC seeing other girls if he's happy
