No. Ancient greek. It came up in Persia as Alexander the Great rolled over them.

A simple math. 4 chapters in 4 years.
28 chapters remain = 28 years.
Hope he doesn't plan to die until 2051.

32 Chapters...
Now it makes sense how this game has over 20 possible LIs... Hell, with 32 chapters theres even a world where the MC will be allowed to suck on Ambers pierced nipples
You missed one:
Heaven thats even A LOT MORE TIME TO WAIT

An AI will complete the development of the gameA simple math. 4 chapters in 4 years.

!Seriously speaking Ocean is developing quite fast when he's not doing a rework.
Some people talked about One Piece, I can think of Skyrim which will be 12 years old in november

Skyrim is something special, and when the game was released it was complete (and with tons of bugs)An AI will complete the development of the game

I was just thinking that, let`s say he does 2 chapters per year= 14 yearsA simple math. 4 chapters in 4 years.
28 chapters remain = 28 years.
Hope he doesn't plan to die until 2051.
very optimistic approach, Ocean does almost 2,5 chapters per year(highly unlikely and wishful thinking), that`s still 10 years...

...except computers get faster/more efficient at rendering every iteration, and Ocean has openly spoken about acheiving certain goals to speed up rendering. I think productivity will increase considerably once the Steam release is out. Once that happens, SG has an extra income stream that can be immediately directed to improving workflows. Ocean seems to be pretty committed to these games. Steam will also act as a catalyst to reinvest in speed, as keeping the attention of the one off payments per chapter is a great incentive to keep going.A simple math. 4 chapters in 4 years.

I feel confident Ocean knows how to reach the finish line.

I've heard this too many times, following the game since 2018. No amount of money or raw computing power is going to make this faster, especially making two games at once. Just look at many many popular games and how many updates per year you get from them. Not even pinkcake has a studio (or at least group of ppl ), yet has all the money and computing power he wants. Not to mention that nVidia is forgoing the gaming industry in favor of AI. But maybe someone here has some insight that they can share.

Not to mention after chapter 16 the other 15 have to be reworked first

You all shouldn't whine about the development time, just enjoy the ride.
And think about the server park you'll need in the end for the full versions whatever peta or even exabyte require for placing that monster.

We've been hearing that for years. Even with this dream PC that he wants, he won't make release a chapter every 1-2 months.
And what's up with this Steam release? Is it really a cash cow? You gonna buy it once and it gets updated every chapter, right?
And it will be like 10-15$?

There's two different models for Steam releases: updated every chapter so buy once and buy whole game even if incomplete when purchased (Artemis uses this model), or release each season separately so you only get one season by purchase (Being A DIK uses this model). We don't know which model Ocean is going with.
The main thing that will decrease dev time will be the finishing of the rework which has probably added 3-6 months to each release since it started (and also made the original dev time for first three eps obsolete).

IMO if you are not a Patron, buying it for those 10-15€ wouldn't be so bad. You did get your "worth" in money back. Plus it supports the Ocean. I myself was patron long ago, since I'm not anymore, I'll buy it. But I don't expect much will change in the future. Everyone who does, is on some copium.

SG will be sold by season. So f.e episodes 1-5 will be season 1 and it will cost something around 15€, sorry can't remember the exact price but around that.

I'm not talking miracles, I'm just saying that the doom and gloom cynicism is also copium - people not daring to believe someone can actually lay out a plan and stick to it. SG has already got sufficient content to be considered a full game compared to the average game on this site (blue balling aside). So each season (I would expect) should be sold as a separate release. Ocean seems switched on enough to consider that - new music licensing will almost require it. But what Ocean decides, Ocean decides.
Ocean will still have roughly the same income stream from patreon etc after steam, and currently manages to continue development of the games, so any extra steam income can be put directly into investing in tools in the short term. Once steam is up, that is also pressure to deliver ongoing content to keep people making the one off purchases buy the next thing before they get bored. The thing about reinvestment, is that the biggest frustration as a content creator other than finance is not being able to create content at the speed of your inspiration. Every time Ocean loads renders, every time Ocean renders, there is currently frustration. Make a small change, frustration. When I'm working on content and I get frustrated I walk away and waste time, so I don't get frustrated by the progress bar inching across the screen. Reducing the frustration will mean more productivity.
We'll see how Ocean manages, but these worst case scenarios of "we'll be 97 before season two is finished, waaah" "Ocean's grandchildren will be slaves in a rendering farm, waah" are a tad ridiculous. Ocean's already faster than that (well, unless you're already over 95).

I think we need to be supportive regardless. Let's not forget what happened the last time a German had his art scorned.

Didn't you know? In a few years, they will merge Blender and Stable Diffusion into a single project called Blended Diffusion.A simple math. 4 chapters in 4 years.
28 chapters remain = 28 years.
Hope he doesn't plan to die until 2051.
There, the creator has to provide just a few graphic samples of each character, art style, some decor details and that's it. The software will be able to generate scenes with these characters using a textual description. And they will provide a huge rendering farm for adult novels only where you can rent top-notch rendering equipment and pay a cent for an image or several, the price will depend on the quality and resolution of the image. Access to this farm will be integrated into Blended Diffusion, so it can simply redirect scene descriptions directly to the farm and get freshly baked renders from there. Why do you think Ocean started experimenting with Blender?
