Sept release is the current ETA.

This from the Aug 23rd Dev Log:


I'll see you in two weeks with most likely great news...

  • Ocean
I will be probably September update, beta. Full probably in November or around Christmas... At least that's all for Season one. Season 2 ch.1 probably April 2024. It should get a little faster without reworking earlier chapters. WIAB is near completion too.
Well, flank ahead Ocean...

yeah love it. Curious how much content would he put in 5.0 considering this should be the end of SS 1. Would we reach to the party with Nadia and Nancy ? Though it doesn't seem very likely considering the pacing of the VN so far but i don't know if he wants to leave it for the following update

Well, we just have to wait for the episode where MC is having his therapy session in the cabin, I guess.
Is his first sesion with the therapy in the cabin? I don´t know nothing about the old version but do you think guys Mc will discover everything in his past with one sesion? I was thinking that maybe he sees some things but probably this discover come with more doubts than answers.

As far as I know he suffers panic attacks, not amnesia like every other MC who goes to hospital near the start of a VN :sneaky: so chances are he knows what he remembers but he avoids thinking about it or triggering it. But it doesn't mean that whatever happened to make Summer 'gone' happened then. Possible explanation, both he and Summer experienced the same violent episode, and Summer's parents took her away before Nika got out of hospital. All he'd know in that situation is that no one can tell him what happened to Summer, even though his last memory is about the violence or whatever.

Also, considering he's thinking about using the money to get Emilio to help find info, Nika doesn't know what happened to Summer other than she's gone and no one will tell him what happened (after he got hospitalised or whatever). I think the session in the cabin will bring clarity about what Nika saw and his persepctive of what happened, but the therapy isn't going to be recovering his memories but him confronting them.

He's probably avoided the subject: Nami seemed hesitant to talk about the violent episode, so he seems to bury topics he can't deal with. It's only take one episde for him to have a panic attack at the cabin, and Ocean can do a hindsight memory reveal while Nika has an episode. But it doesn't mean we'll know the full story.

Oh, has he revised his plans to rework chapters 3 and 4? I was holding off on this because he was fiddling with the earlier chapters again. This would be great news if he's focusing on new content.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Afaik there was never plans to rework chapter 3 or 4, some minor stuff will be fixed from chapter 3 but that comes with the chapter 2 rework.

So basically when chapter 5 full comes there will be no reworks any more.

If you mean, did Ocean announce plans to completely rework chapters 3 and 4, then I haven't heard anything like that either. Here's what he actually said about the reworks:

Only Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 are being reworked.

Chapter 3 had two small scene changes because these scenes still used an obsolete character model (2019 Nojiko and Claire)
Chapter 3.5 only had a texture change. (You change the texture of an asset, and put em in the queue again.)

While it took time to get through the queue, changing the texture took less than two minutes.

Hello,

So, I've recently returned from a forced five-day mountain vacation.

Even though I was set on sitting it out, I came across a very interesting video about mental health, and it said you should treat burnout as if it's inevitable.


No worries, I have no signs of burnout, but I found the video very interesting and should take more precautions. (I already do lots of sports, but I also need time away from screens.)

From now on, I will force myself to take at least a 3-day vacation every 4-6 months.


1. Loan-bibi

31st of August... is the day all tax offices must have submitted the 2021 numbers... And well, I talked about it before that my old tax office is terrible.

I was getting increasingly nervous that they wouldn't make it and I would have to pay a fine. (Which the tax guy would be liable for... But still, that would be so much unnecessary drama.)

So instead of my usual kind approach, where I offer help 24/7, etc... I started threatening them with some thingies, and voila... In less than a day I got my 2021 numbers.

As soon as I get the papers from the financial office of Berlin. I'll get the loan for the workstation. I already talked to my bank and we came up with something.
It takes about 2-3 months to get your papers (Steuerbescheid)... So it will still be a while.

2. 4090
I got a 4090 for SG to see if it could render animations faster... Here are the numbers for those interested.

2x3090
4K Still render = 13:06min
5 Frame animation = 5:56min

1x4090
4K still render = 15:23
5 Frame animation = 5:21

1x 4090 + 1x 3090
4K still render = 9:47
5 Frame animation = 4:20min

By getting the 4090 and pairing it with a 3090, I got a decent boost in rendering speed. It will do until I get the new Workstation.

I now have 2x3090 as backup GPUs if a GPU should die.


3. Victoria cinematic Chapter 1

I mentioned that I would remove the scene where MC has the choice to shoot Marla and replace it with a cinematic.

The music artist now signed the contract, and I can get started on it shortly. I will include it in Chapter 5 Beta.


4. Treats

I haven't done Treats since Dev Log #8's Nadia treats.

And I still haven't finished a set but I had a few renders lying around from sets I canceled a while ago... Three renders to be exact... So instead of letting them rot, I'm just gonna post them today.



(Deep Cleavages & legs)


5. Previews (4K is attached.)

I primarily focus on Chapter 5, but recently I did a few more Chapter 2 Rework renders. Here are two comparisons.

I put up a Chapter 5 Preview block. So no more previews until the release... But here's one I can probably still show...

Anyway, I wonder why everybody's arguing about what really happened to Summer, but no one's asking about the "other mystery" in this story, that is what happened to Bella's sister.
This is only me but I think she got raped by Holgerson and the only person that she could talk about it was Bella, and at some point she couldn't deal with it anymore so she decided to "end it". That would explain why Bella despises that family and tends to relate them with pedophiles.
