It's an AVN, not a porn game. For sure there'll be sex scenes in the future, but at this point of the story it didn't fit in.

I'm actually happy Ocean resisted the urge to throw a character only for a sex scene. Most developers can't. But I will be happy too when the warning on the beginning disappears.

I was hooked on this game by the fact that the plot here is very good plus the music is very cool, the characters are made very qualitatively and the plot goes as it should, if necessary, they will have scenes of a sexual nature, but even without them the game goes very well there are very few such games and what should be done is to try to make it very cool

Summer's Gone (and Where it All Began) are one of a kind. They have a great plausible story, believable dialogue, character development that makes sense. The renders and everything in it (textures, ambience, character poses) are top nocht, the music is fantastic and the cinematics we get? No words for them. Like rudy007 said, Ocean resisted the urge to just throw a character to have sex with and that's something that makes it stand out among many of the adult VNs in this website.
The slow progression and rich story is what makes your heart skip a beat when you finally see the initial hints of MC's sexual awakening and healing (the scene with Nami in the jacuzzi, making out with Bella, Making out with Mila while caressing her lower back, playing with Vic's breasts), something that, at least for me, feels more rewarding and satisfactory than getting to fuck every single girl you come across right away.
So far the only people I see complaining about the VN are those who want a quick fap or don't like the fact that the story has 'too much text' and 'a whiny bitch of a MC' (Cause fuck it, apparently young men in this world are all stoic robots and none of them suffer trauma or mental illnesses, right?)
So if you want sex scenes right away, you won't get them in this VN. You'll get some lewd scenes for now and, eventually, adult scenes that I know will we justified and will go hand by hand with the story.

Now about 2 updates/year. He makes parallel two games. But we hope that after reworks he could make it faster.

Yes, you're not the only one who thinks so. Ocean's game(s) are really time consuming. Renders and animation sequences are top notch, but they need time and powerful hardware. And he is heavily investing in hardware.

So I guess this game is one of the best in here, right ? 4 years in development + Where it All began. Neither is completed. Feels like a side gig for a dev. Can anybody please fill me in regarding development process, how often updates are being released and if there's a chance whole process may speed up in near future without harm to games' quality ?

Like I get if you look for it for several pages and can't find it, but the answer is literally the previous two posts.

Side gig... Really??
Does the above Look like a side gig??
What is your favorite scene in CH 3? CH 4?
Who is your favorite LI and why?
What is your favorite animation and music artist in SG?
Your questions above make me wonder if you have spent even 15 minutes playing Summers Gone.
Is it worth playing? Yes
Are there sexy scenes with a few of the women (LIs/potential LIs)? Yes
Is there awesome music? Yes
Is this a fapper's paradise? No
I can't say whether or not Summers Gone is a VN you will enjoy. Given how you start your request - I don't think you have the patience to play a VN like Summers Gone - after all "4 years in development + Where it All began. Neither is completed." is your lead in, asking for help...
I'd recommend starting this VN the way I would Any VN - by reading page 1 notes, then - if I am still interested - downloading and playing for an hour or two and then deciding if I liked spending my time with that creation enough to continue.
Whatever you decide to do, take the time to enjoy it.

If he thinks so about SG & WIAB, I'm really interested what he think about 99% of other games on this site...
He is working on two game simultaneously, you can expect update in every 4/5 months... And you were talking about 4yrs+ development, honestly most people might hate to hear it, but dev has kinda OCPD, so the "remake" will be continued. And i highly doubt in next 5 yrs if any of his current project will finished! And i read about his next game titles, so nahh, not in next 5 yrs+.

Your question is not directly for me, but here is few answer for your questions, perhaps it's helping for others to decide. I think SG and WiAB is something else, than the 95% of other games in this site.
In CH3: Scene with Bella at changing room (Change with me)
In CH4: Conversation between Nadia and MC at the Library (Banana Conflicts)
CH4.5 Bella Arrives
I don't know, i play without music, perhaps this is a stupid decision, but i dont care.
P.S.: English is not my native language so, if i write, or phrase something wrong, feel free correct me.

And just a note: 'Where it all Began' (The other game, for those who aren't familiar with Ocean's work) has been reworked. The original version can still be found in the download section of that VN's thread so you can see how it used to look. It wasn't bad, but once you compare it to the rework, you noticea how the tone of the story, the renders, the characters' models (I'm sorry Ocean, I still have nightmares whenever I remember old Miru) and the dialogue are waaaaay better now.
The dev has said that working in 2 games it's their way to relax and how enjoy their time. Would I prefer they only focused in a single VN at the time? Hell yeah. But I'm no one to tell another person (Including you, my fellow F55ers) how to spend your time. If that's what works for the dev, good. I have nothing to complain about cause both VNs and their content have never let me down.

Everyone is entitled to have his own opinion about any game or everything else.
But we should stay on topic here. Everything you said is correct. But if somebody things he can do better and find for him a better game(s), why not. He is entitled to do so. I believe he will come back here.
About "old" WIAB, game is graphically still OK, it can stand in comparation to many newer games, but when compared to new version it shows its age. Writing is way better now. And, yeah, Miru is now better in any way.

As long as I have two or three updates a year (four is better, of course), I don't give a flying fuck if it will ever be finished or not. I love the characters, I love this game world, I love the main story, the side stories, the graphics, the music. The story is very deep, it develops on a few levels and is too far from the final. So many secrets remain unrevealed, so many characters are yet to be fully developed. Even some of the major LIs haven't come into play yet. Why should I wish for this to end?
This one is particularly mind boggling to me. I've only played 4.5 Full start to finish once but I clearly remember seeing a very, VERY noticeable amount of grammar errors, mistakes and bad sentence structuring. There is absolutely no chance Ocean has a native English speaker proofreading the script. And if he does, that person is in dire need of reading glasses.
