But damn, these early chapters have gotten me so invested in Bella that it does make me wonder how us Bella fans will all cope when MC's project partner gets switched in the following quarters :HideThePain: (we're still in the first quarter of MC's college year, so...)
We will demand another rework, so that we perpetually remain on Bella centric season :WeSmart:

- Af = Animation Frames (Big Thanks to sorco2003 for suggesting this idea.)(FPS*Sec)
- A Cinematic is made out of 5-25 single animations with 60-300 frames each.

- As of now, Beta includes the actual new content, while the Final includes the rework and bug/typo fixes.
- The Development Time is also dedicated to WiAB which is the Developer's Second game.

I'm frustrated that the plot doesn't move forward, but I admit that I rather liked the new "remake".

Staging scenes and visuals have become frankly better
Mila is getting...bigger) and hotter)
I like that this update has a lot of Nojiko. I hope we will be able to cuck her new boyfriend)

Even though, rendering is only part of it, what about modeling and thinking about what we want to see? How many renders were wrong, so needed to be done again? It seems rendering is just a fast pc with good graphics card, consuming a lot of power...

Is story CH4.5 similar or less complex than CH4 ?

Having said that, thanks for the analysis, it's still interesting to see...

Queue music.
Never ending stoooory.

I get "developers" wanting to make a game look good, but Oceanlab and others simply spend too much time on renders and too little time on actually progressing the story.

Its a shame though because its a good story.

My guess is that within a couple of years we might be at CH 6 (still without any sex obviously) - and then another "rewrite/re-render" is announced and it starts all over again - simply because the developer has lost any drive to actually finish the story - and can only milk patrons by doing something new - and what is better than re-releasing the same stuff, in even higher resolution and with slightly better animations.

A real shame that we have so few developers that actually release chapters and so many that worry about polishing their shit until it shines.

I'm not sure if I understood this, but how do you even compare the story/writing? :WaitWhat:

Instead of adding new stuff to first 4.5 chapters, how about finishing it? refinement can come after completion. The story/plot is great even with the lewd elements.

I had downloaded the new Ch 4.5 PatchSG.rpy from lewdpatcher at ‎9 ‎March ‎2023 08‎:31:19 UTC.

I was able to backtrack the download URL:

I have confirmed that this is for Ch 4.5 (the labels lists includes the new labels from the Ch 2 rework).

Note that this patch was uploaded to Mediafire from Germany, before the update leaked at f95.

I haven't tested it or played the update yet, so can't comment on any errors it may have. It's not uncommon for the 'official' patch to have discrepancies vs the main game scripts.
Bless you! I figured it would be updated on the main page eventually but people still seemed to be playing so wasn't sure. Really appreciate your reply!

Will be any new content for the previous chapters, or the dev will focus on chapter 5 now on? I want to wait till all the rewritting done for the previous chapters. So can I start it or not?
Afaik he will work on chapter 5 now and finish with the rework of chapter 2 and then the game will go on Steam. At least I think i got that right.

But to entertain your intention to help: non-modded version, I was loading saves from the previous version (3.5).
There is no way to help, he just likes to break saves, happens on both his games, whether it's a new version or re-re-remake of old chapters
Was rev 3.5 the last rev you downloaded and played prior to downloading rev 4.5 Full?

If not, what was the last rev you downloaded and played prior to downloading rev 4.5 Full.

I can't speak to WIAB since I have been holding off on playing it until it is further along.

I have only had problems with Summers Gone when I tried to load a modded save into an unmodded game and vice versa.
