We ruling out a release in September for this game and/or wiab ?

Not ruling out September for either at this time:

SG is up to the following (per the Dev Log released yesterday = September 6th, 2023):

Chapter 5 Status

All renders are finished for now.

I currently have 2031 still renders and a few animations plus a 1:30-minute cinematic done.

With the main rendering part done. Now all that's left is:

• Postwork
• Polishing
• The phone

The development now becomes a little more unpredictable, especially with coding.

I'll keep you guys updated and I'll do my best with the phone.

We're almost there.

WIAB status (Dev Log, Aug 31st, 2023):

I'm waiting for the queue to finish... There are around 350 renders in it, and I need to set up around 70-100 more.

I'm not sure which game will be released first now.

SG is further ahead in renders but needs all the phone coding and testing.

WiAB is only waiting for the queue to run down and won't get the phone until Chapter 3x5 or Chapter 4.

I'd estimate that we will get at least one release in September and, possibly two.

Cheers!!

If coding the cell phone is easy for Ocean (I have asked some people, and it can take days if you are experienced or months if you are inexperienced) maybe yes, end of September as planned.

WIAB on the other hand, no, there are 450 renders left at least, in the bar environment he can get 7-9 renders per day, imagining that only half of the 450 are of that scene, it would be 25 days of work without interruptions, plus another 225 renders in normal conditions... October would be a target, although November looks more realistic.

 

[m111m123]

That quote came out months BEFORE the last update of the original WIAB. Put another way, even the original WIAB is a prequel to SG.

Strike ONE.

Why did you delete part of Ocean's comment?
Quote: "WIAB & SG are deeply connected and play in the same universe. So does my planned third game (PLF - Female MC.) But I won't start it until the other two are finished."
Well, where did you see the word prequel here? Did you think I wouldn’t notice your deception?)
How did you write there..... First strike?)))

That's right. The "new" WIAB is literally labelled as a rework. It wasn't abandoned.

Strike TWO.

What is the old Wiab called then? What is the name of the SG conversion then, why is it not abandoned?
Here's your second strike...

Prequel and sequel are relative terms. A prequel is an earlier story in an overall story arch. A sequel is a latter story in an overall story arch. There is no "main one" as you claim. Since The Phantom Menace is a prequel to A New Hope, it automatically makes A New Hope a sequel to The Phantom Menace. (True SW fans please forgive my blasphemy.)

Strike THREE.

And what is the relativity between prequel and sequel? Do you know that an arc is a branch from the main plot? You throw around terms whose meaning you don’t know.
Have you found the main one? Wow......Can you show it to me? No one saw him except you. Ocean hasn't been able to finish a single game yet. The prequel and sequel appear after the main story has ended. Which movie came first, "New Hope" or "The Phantom Menace"? So that there is no such confusion, the main story becomes the one that came out earlier and they count from it.

Third strike? Nah, you're already crushed.

ps All meanings and interpretations of prequels, sequels and other terms are in the public domain and I did not come up with them. If something doesn’t suit you, then it’s better to argue with the person who came up with it all.

 

[wilkwild6896]

this game will get abandoned by chapter 16 max so don't worry your pretty head too much about it

Chapter 16? I'd say 10.

Considering the fact that if i remember correct ocean has said he has finished writing the general story for all 32 chapters i doubt it will be abandoned. for the fact that he has done that much writing and the fact he is looking at dropping 10k+ on a pc for rendering it shows dedication to finishing it. I will say though chapter 16 sounds about right on when he will most likely want to restart again for the fact of how much more detail you will probably be able to get in renders and animations in 4-6 years when he is at chapter 16.

Hey luvs. These guys(especially the first two) are trolls. If you didn't know before, then you know now. To save yourselves the headaches that come with their statements... you may want to put them on your ignore listღ

and into what category you go in?cock sucking authors who couldnt care less about you (yeah whether you believe it or not unfortunately fortuna isn't only dwelling on this game thread 24/7) for every "negative comment" while you are on PIRACY forum imao, go play moralist on his discord server where you are probably a mod or something pathetic like that

Holy Mother of nitpicking. Some facts here:
· New WIAB is a rework of the old one, not a different game like you said yesterday. Same general plot, same main characters, etc.
· Old WIAB also belonged to the same universe as SG.
· SG is chronologically set a couple of decades after the events of WIAB and has several offspring of that cast (Holgerson, Zane, Petrova, etc). They were there even before Ocean started reworking both games.

Now, if you want, you can continue the nitpick about the literal meaning of prequel, and I will keep lurking the thread while waiting for ch.5.

Fortuna ღ - thanks, as always, for the PSA (Public Service Announcement)!

I got to add another to my ignore list - but not before it demonstrated quite a foul mouth.

So - on to more important matters - who are your top 3 LI's for the MC, based on what we know so far?

You already know that I am a Bella first guy.

For me, the rest of the top 3 are:

Zara
Amber

I like Nami, Mila, Nadia, Sonya, Sasha and Vic but for a top 3, these are my current fav's.

Given that we still have 25+ chapters to go, I suspect that there are a number of the other women (listed above and not) who will grow in favor as their stories are told.

As always, Good to 'see' you!

Cheers!!

As long as it's SG, I'm good.

You are mistaken. My opponent said this. I said that they are connected only by the appearance of the characters.

I didn’t come up with the interpretation of the words; if you don’t know them, then that’s your problem.

For me it's similar. But in top 4 (I tried top3, but it wasn't possible).
My top 4 (the order is irrelevant)
Bella
Nami
Amber
Nojiko

I would still make a little division into the characters and their story. For example, in the game of thrones I didn’t like Jofri as a character, but his storyline was interesting. But I didn’t like Theon Greyjoy both as a character and his story. I generally fell asleep under his chapters and skipped.
I'll start with those who I like as characters and their story (at least intriguing). Bella is interesting as a character, her storyline is interesting.
But Nami is a rather difficult choice. Undoubtedly, her story is interesting, if you follow the path of romance, it will also be interesting to look at the events and consequences. But her character ... raises many questions.
Same difficult choice for Summer. Her past, her story is very interesting. But we don't know anything about the present Summer.
Sasha's story is certainly intriguing, but it's too early to draw conclusions. We know almost nothing about her.
Amber, Zara, Vanessa are interesting characters, but the story... I'm not interested yet.
Mila, Vic, Sonya, Niya- don’t like them as characters, the story is not interesting at all.

 

[Donettes]

You are mistaken. My opponent said this. I said that they are connected only by the appearance of the characters.

Bro...

It would be very funny if not for 2 things that spoil your theory.
1. which Wiab are you talking about? Wiab1 has nothing to do with SG and was abandoned a long time ago. Wiab-2 came out after SG became popular, Ocean is trying its best to tie Wiab2 to SG.

They are completely different. If Wiab was made as part of the SG universe, then why was it abandoned instead of reworked? Wiab and Wiab2 are connected only by the appearance of the characters.

I just came to put those facts. Now you do you, and I do me.

MC and Summer on the basketball court... It turns out that the rumor that says Summer is a member of the women's basketball team may be true. This women's team is on vacation right now, so when this team returns, then we might see Summer.
