In the last WIAB log he said that SG was at 80%, and knowing that Ocean today prefers not to talk about dates, I don't think there is even an approximation of a date.

Oceanlab not sure if anyone has mentioned this, I havent looked at this thread in months, but every chapter 4.5 replay referencing the BellaKiss3x5 variable is bugged.
Easy fix, find and replace BellaKiss3x5 with BellaKiss03x within every file in this path: ...\game\Benutzerdefiniert\Replay\Ch4x5
Long term fix, redevelop the replay function so it's within the normal gameplay script. You wouldn't have to synchronize changes in multiple places if you did it this way. The duplication isn't necessary and creates unnecessary tech debt. The VN Desert Stalker is a good reference for this, or you can hit up scrappy.
Unsolicited constructive criticism, there is no way you dont confuse yourself regularly with these variable names lol. Fitness and fitness, vicdate and VicDate, miladate and MilaDate. I quickly glanced through the codebase and it seems like you've changed your naming scheme in nearly every update. I would recommend coming up with a consistent self-documenting variable naming scheme so you don't trip yourself up in the future, especially as scenes get more complex with the many, many, LIs.
I think <Char Name><One Word Descript><Chapter>x<Sub-chapter> works fine, so MilaDate4x0 or MilaDate4x5 is cool. Not saying you have to adhere to that scheme, python convention is typically snake-cased (ex. mila_date_4x0), only that you need to choose something that's consistent if you plan to bring on developers who will have to make sense of all this. The inconsistency is also a form of tech debt. Personally, i'd retrofit previous chapters to adhere to that scheme as well.
Im a web developer, I don't do renpy shit, but I have fiddled with python quite a bit to make automation scripts. I think a linter like pylint should be ok to use with renpy? I'm not certain tho and this is only necessary if you feel you need something to strictly enforce adhering to that naming scheme.
That's all I got, ill go back to making myself scarce.
PS. Chapter 5 needs a succulent ass shot of the objectively superior LI, Mila. You will include this or I will riot. Thanks and god-speed brethren.

Hello,
So...
In a previous Dev Log, I wrote about the music issue and stuff... The bitterness that came with it, and me not wanting to contact and deal with them.
Turns out, actually mentioning it to someone (you guys) has helped me deal with it.
I contacted a few new ones and also signed one new Song already. He's also very eager to work with me in the future.
I'm still waiting for a reply from the others.
About Chapter 5.
I'm closing in on the end, I'd say it's about 85% done... I also slowly started with the last part of the Ch2 rework. (Previews at the end of the post)
Things are progressing very nicely.
Except that, I totally fucked up my sleep schedule again in the past two days... I umm, went through what I call an "Artistic Dilemma".
I went into an ADHD-induced hyperfocus where I asked myself a lot of art-related questions and created some stuff to find answers. Then I realized it was already 8 in the morning.
I might elaborate on it in a different Patreon post, as I made a few changes to my future art approach.
During my "Artistic Dilemma", I also created some new Treats. I really felt them that night.
The music to go with the Gloomy Treat:

It's a Gloomy Nadia Treat with 5 pictures (2 Versions of each) with a bit more focus on photorealism.

Anyways, Previews. (High Res Images are in the ZIP file.)
As mentioned in the last Log, I only show two previews from a new Chapter per Dev Log.
But let's start with the CH2 stuff. (Which I don't count as a real new Chapter.)
Old Chapter 2:

A few of you are probably wondering if anything else changed in the last part of Chapter 2.
Yes, quite a few new scenes have been added. The Bella Night route is now longer and a big change to the story itself had to be done. (It only affects you if you didn't go with Bella that one night.)
As I ran into some branching issues in Season 5, which would've made that Season 16-17 Chapters long... I had to make the change to save my sanity down the line.
I won't spoil what I had to change, but you'll see it if you pick to not meet up with Bella at midnight. Otherwise, nothing changes.
I think I'll be finishing SG's writing in around a month. I've finished a few endings already and well... Then all that's left is the art and coding.
But I'm 100% going to change stuff down the line. Add new things, maybe even add another Chapter... But yeah.
I must admit that I teared up writing and thinking about the end of SG and WiAB... I know that it will take quite a few years to finish them but when the time comes, it's going to be a one-of-a-kind journey.
I'll see you in two weeks.

Female protagonist tag should be added because the MC is a whiny little bitch.
Just so no one starts calling her 'Boo'Am I the only one who gets a Baldur's Gate 3 vibe from Nadia Treat?

Thanks for inspiration! I'll be naming the MC 'Dickon' from now on in the games without a default nameThe worst name he could've named the MC is Dickon
. Likely there won't be any jackasses in them with the same name. _________________________

I still thinking the new version will be ready around September/October at the earliest...
About the new dev log, what's the meaning of this: "But I'm going to 100% change things in the future. Add new stuff, maybe even add another chapter..." I beg Ocean to don't change anything else in the future and keep his efforts in the next new versions...
