From human interaction, imput overload some psychological trigger.
The book club would be stressful for many of us functional here.
The girls pizza night made less sense for me as they are harmless and inviting.

All we know of Nojiko's wealth, is that she struggles hard to make ends meet, it's a continual thing Nika mentions to Bella, there's the scene where Nami talks about her and Nika getting jobs to take the pressure off. There can be at least a hundred reasons for this, none of the reasons we know. The only thing that goes against her being a simple struggling breadwinner is the bookclub scene - she knows and is friends with Charlie, Emilia and Amber, presumably Sasha's mum as well. It'll be interesting to see if she's known at the tennis club or golf course. I like the idea you're suggesting that she's purposefully kept Nika and Nami low profile, seemingly from the start, so a good 15 years or so?
If Nojiko adopted them, entirely possible they have her surname, or Cyrus is their family name and she is Miyazaki. The bit of info that says they are adopted or she is their guardian is when Nika walks with Mila in 4.5 and mentions his memory of his mom reading to him and he doesn't know if it was a dream or memory, and Mila responds with "I'm sure she was a lovely person" (past tense). But yeah, the roommate thing for the Frohn's and the Zane's is ridiculous, even if necessary.
Harmless and inviting, but also too intense for someone that holds the world at arm's length and has major issues with personal intimacy. They got inside his comfort zone, which is threatening enough.

Yeah, for normal guys maybe, but for the MC, there are some one-to-one activities at girls movie night that are more stressful than detective play and snarky trolling at the book club.

Either way Ocean's gotta make his mind up and should clarify what causes these panic attacks.
Is it "cheating" on Summer? Don't think so since it doesn't happen when he's with Bella.
Is it cheating on Bella? Likely, because doing stuff with other girls while you're on Bellas path makes McPa go up.
Then again Nika does nothing at all with anyone at the book club and still has an attack. The duality between playing the stoic conquerer and panicking once he's out of sight is strange too.

YOU choose interpret Nojiko as a well-paid specialist living in a dirt-poor house, either because you haven't read the dialogues, don't understand the dialogues, or can't get past your own biases/expectations (salary $200K, house value $50k).
Leave Ocean out of it!

Hello,
So, It's been a week since Chapter 5 BETA was released, and I'll drop it down a tier in around a week.
Thanks to everyone who started supporting the game, and also a big thanks to everyone who reported some bugs.
From now on, I'll be referring to Season 2 Chapter 1 as "S2-CH1"
As with WiAB, I did work on the next update while doing Chapter 5. It wasn't nearly as efficient as with WiAB. (WiAB has an A6000 with 48GB VRAM.)
But I managed to get some stuff done.
The current render count is:
S2-CH1 = 190 stills + 55 seconds of animations. (I did quite a few animations already.)
CH2 rework = 225 stills.
So, while I'll finish the last part of the rework, I'm also working on Season 2.
Changes with Season 2:
The game is a new entity. This means it's a separate download and .exe.
Season 2 will be in 4K, the file size will be around 20% bigger, but the quality will be chef's kiss.
I've been rendering in 4K for years but always had to scale the images down.
Season 2 is adult-rated and, therefore, will start with a lot less music. I'll collect more and more as time goes on.
Saves will be transferred with the full version. So yeah, that's why I said don't make all your routes in the BETA. You'll have to play the full version to transfer your saves.
That's because the Chapter 2 rework adds several new events and choices. Bella lovers get a lot there.
I'm pretty sure I forgot something, and if so, I'll tell you about it in the next log.
A single Blender Sasha image.
I ported Sasha over, and she gave me quite a headache yesterday... But I managed to do it, and it's a huge improvement over her old port.
The image is pretty sexy by Sasha's standards... So yeah, it can be found

New Tier added.
A few very generous boys have some pretty high custom pledges, and my highest tier at the moment is 50$.
I created a 100$ tier. Aurora Borealis.
While it's mostly just a supporter tier, they and the Ethereal Glow boys will get 1-3 additional, slightly spicier treat images in the future. (So whenever I create a new Set, they will get more. The spicier pics will drop to the Ethereal Glow's after a week.)
You also get a Discord role + more voting power on the soon-to-be-started Blender short story polls.
As always, don't ever feel pressured to pick a higher tier.
Always take care of yourself first.
Previews.
I'm not previewing anything of S2-CH1 yet, as not everyone has played the last Chapter yet. With the next Dev Log, I'll publish the first S2-CH1 preview(s).
So, today's previews are about the new Chapter 2. I've got quite a few side-by-side with the old ones. 4K attached.
We'll start with the outside heist.

Again, thanks a lot for the support! Without you, bibis, a game of this scope couldn't be done.
WiAB is going to be released this month, I hope.
And with the upcoming update, I'd say WiAB becomes worth playing. It's still in the introduction, but Chapter 3 contains a bunch of interesting lore.
The full WiAB Chapter 3 will be available for Autumn tiers and above. If you're interested in playing the BETA (It has all the content), you can find it on the

The panic attacks could be reminiscent from edgy dark path that was scrapped?
Would been interesting if was triggered by anxiety to perform and wormy kept prone. Alas this plot point is very curious indeed.

Too much Bella. How is this ever going to be balanced with other main LIs?

I'm also afraid of this. A sudden decrease in its content won't please the fans. It should have been balanced.

As long as the payoff is a von Halen orgy with Bella, her sister, Amber, and Claire all getting dicked down hard in the same bed, then this is OK. Else, I concur.

Give the people what they want,the paying bulk are Bella aficionados.
Let me romance her and Nami together and we gucci.
Edit #
Bella understanding how much Nami means to Mc and knowing his sister could never steal him from her, as society frowns upon the prospect of them together, and knowing how much a sibling is important.
proclaimed that she would never share Nika. But as Nami being a different case.
As they are not sharing. Nika is hers!
Nami is his sister and for this only reason!
they are just one big happy family. #
And as previously mentioned Zara is gonna steal patronage from the merchants guild if she keep being awesome.

This is how the situation appears on Ocean's Discord; Bella and Others. In addition to Bella's fanbase, the second biggest fanbase seems to belong to Sasha. I hope Zara will change this.

It's important to mention that most players are Bella aficionados because S1 is so overly focused on her and she gets a bulk of the "runny mascara" scenes. Those should be the company logo for Oceanlabs btw.
The few short points of contact with Nia and Zara in Ch 5 already stole a lot of people over. Imagine if all the LIs got similar amounts of content. But yea Day 1 LIs like Mila, Vic and Nami are basically starving and it looks like that's going to continue.

Nami had a somewhat good run for S1, but Chapter 5 is where we actually interacted a bit with some of the other LIs. With Sasha, this was the first proper interaction without it being a handful of lines.
If S2 is a lot more interactive with a wider range of LI's, Bella will slip down the rankings...
