Hello,

First of all: I called this Dev Log #1 because it's the first solely dedicated Chapter 5 Dev Log.
Second of all, usually, there wouldn't be an SG Dev Log today, but a promise I made over a year ago now bit me in the ass.

Over a year ago, I made a promise to my Mother to doggo-sit my own dog... (I didn't take him with me into the center of a big city.)
What I didn't take into account is, that I'd move across the country.
I won't be able to render for 14 days.
But that doesn't mean I'm not going to work on the games.

I will be writing a lot, and I will already do the postwork for all the SG & WiAB renders I already got.
Which is quite a bit in WiAB's case. (And around 190 for SG Chapter 5)

I will also start with the phone coding for SG Chapter 5.

I really dislike having to go there, but they do deserve their vacation. And it's probably the last time I will ever see my Doggo.
(Next month he will turn 15, and his race has a max life expectancy of 14.)
Anyways, work is still going to be done, and the hardest part of the WIAB update is behind me. (The damn farm and everything surrounding it.)

Previews: 4k attached

I will soon reach a point in development, where I can show a little more than just Bella.
But Bellchen is life.

I'll see you in two weeks.
- Ocean

People babbling about this being the best story ever when Ocean himself is making this game without a script. Changing who is LI and who's not. Supposedly connecting two games and then saying that Wiab gets a whole story overhaul. All in all, I bet that chapter 5 is going to be a turning point of this project flopping or turning into another VN with porn in it.

What's wrong with the best story ever that made without a script? Does it make it any less awesome? I guess what matters is whether you like what you see or not. And if you don't like the game no script ever will help it.

But... But what if Ocean himself doesn't know yet WHERE FECKING SUMMER'S GONE!!!111

The game and the story are going nowhere this way.

Some people need to realize that a story needs a hero, a heroine, a few antagonists, some hero's and heroine's sidekicks, side characters, extras and crowd characters.

Now, I'm watching more and more people wanting that more and more random female extra characters become LIs with their proper routes. This is pretty damn crazy.

I hope the Author realizes that he must scrap some side stories and LI routes in order to go somewhere with this VN.

In the meanwhile, I'm enjoying what he has delivered.

Tbh thats kinda Oceans fault, he makes all the girls so damn sexy that you want to have a romance path with every one of them lol

Yeah to me that's kinda one of the things I'm down on. I wish he'd make a few normal looking girls (not ugly ones lol) as well but with more thought and focus put into their personalities and such. And it would've made sense seeing as this game is about relationship and character building and not sex and appeal. Would've also been something different than the usual formula for these kinds of games. but alas he went with the typical approach of every girl looking like a super model and it's fine I guess. Still would've preferred the other approach.

Can someone tell me why the chapter 4 music is not on Spotify?

Its funny that you guys think that if people like me ask to make kate a Li ocean will just do it because a group of fans asked him to do it, guys.. please he has his own opinion about his game obviously, and his opinion will change with time that is something normal, if you guys dont trust him with how the game will proceed i dont know what u guys are doing here.

the characters that he builds are interesting, almost all of them and he will make the final decision about the Li`s.

its only normal that we give our opinion too about what is our favorites characters and each of them we hope to see as Li

Could someone post the Nami ass treats?

Could someone post the Nami ass treats?

Bit disappointing but here ya go. (can hardly even tells it's her if I didn't already know that was the tail end of her hair, hoped for more of her body and cute face to be shown too)

(I hesitate to share these because I'm not sure if Ocean is cool with it so someone lemme know if so.)

 

[Mamaragan]

How is this disappointing lmao.
You guys really love to complain about the smallest thing (and I'm obviously not talking about Nami's bubble ass)

He is complaining because you cannot be 100% sure it's nami's butt....

I dunno whose ass that is but that is one of the best sculpted asses i have seen on this website. The bikini tan lines are a perfect addition as well.

He wouldn't be pissed at all for showing some spoilers, it's actually good for business, as long as you're not leaking his updates, I think you're safe, and thanks for sharing bro

Can someone tell me why the chapter 4 music is not on Spotify?

Because it was bought on Premium Beat, a site that sells licensed music

I had to double check to be sure whose ass it was, at first glance I wasn't sure, but if you know Nami enough then you know her hair enough and should be able to figure out that sweet bouncy ass belongs to her. That's not much of the disappointment, it sucks a little that all that was included was a snip of her hair in the shot sure(to be able to tell it was her), but it is what it is. Mainly, as I alluded to in my post, some different angles or poses of her was what I was hoping for.

As with the Amber, Mila, Leia and Katie treats, there were more shots, poses and more angles included of their face, backside and frontside, that's where the bit of the disappointment mostly lies, as much as I love to see her perfectly shaped bubble butt - and lovely tanlines.

Oh darling, wherever did you get such an idea? The entire point of these reworks is so that everything's on the same level of quality for the steam release. After Season 1's complete, and he does all of the sufficient editing required, the release is coming right after. Why, oh why, would he go back to it? You guys are acting like he's doing these reworks for absolutely no reason... like I get the frustration, but dang.

You must have him confused for another developer.... unlike a few other developers who won't be named, Oceans was always willing to hire help. The problem lies in finding reliable help, not someone who will bail mid-code until the last minute. If memory serves me well, something to that effect has happened already. Furthermore, would you trust just anyone to work on something you'd been dedicating the last few years of your life to?

No offence, but I've always found it interesting how so many users suddenly gained the ability to tell the future...

hah yeah theres at least one other dev out there that drops the ball quite a bit
