That....would be epic. I'm not kidding, it's a fantastic idea imho. I'd gladly mod hundreds of hours in "Cougar's Book Club" :ROFLMAO: :p ... and I would NOT put it on the German Steam...fuck them... they can read the Panda & Butterfly book. :LOL:
As Season 1 will be sold as standalone, and saves ported to Season 2, Season 2 can have sexy time on Steam once Ocean has a mailing list - Given development time, chances are youngsters who saw season 1 on steam while be old enough to get season 2 when it's up on Steam :sneaky: Definitely don't need to ask for another novel in the Oceanverse - 2 at a time is enough. Plus, "Courgars Book CLub" would need to expand to "Cougar's Country Club" etc once we get the golf course and the tennis club. I like it just fine as some spice added to the main dish.

Don't you think that since the "lewd" scenes of this VN were practically 2 (the moment to help vic pee and the jacuzzi moment with nami), it would have been more appropriate to leave those scenes untouched for patreon and correct them for the steam release?

If in the end when the game progresses and starts to have lewd scenes it will stop being published on steam, why remove them from the patreon version?
Season 2 will be a separate standalone, as mentioned by Ocean here, in the dev log. He also mentions he'll be changing the version of Renpy for the offical full release of Season 1 so it makes it easier going forward (more modern features means less compatibility problems for porting saves over). So Season 2 is it's own thing, Ocean will find music that can be used in porn, and will go with the full adult status on Steam. He hasn't done that yet, because he's made the decision to avoid another rework (keep the existing music he paid money for) and to get more exposure for season 1. As S2 will be separate, and he's built up enough of the world, sexy time is fine there.

Making the tierlist reminded me this scene. She might be the hottest extra I've seen in any game ever. Someone should make a tierlist for hottest extras in AVN's :LUL:

P.S. I hope she's not an extra and we see more of her, a lot more of her :)
I don't know if we've seen Melanie as an adult yet. Geven how sharp the focus is and how similar she looks to Detective Cerrill, might this be Melanie? The fact that Ocean draws the focus to her in the scene when she's a bystander means she is important in some way at least. Random thought about Melanie: if the game is focused on healing and restoring mental balance, what if Melanie ends up as an antagonistic LI? ie the MC who finds healing and moving on too difficult finds common ground with a horrible person and stays dark and manipulative. She'd be an anti Vic character.

What are your theories on what happened to Summer? The way i understand it and how its written its that there is a chance Summer might be alive somewhere. From my memory there has been no mention of her dying. "the day summer disappeared" is often mentioned. And the thing with the floating flower dream still confuses me. Is that what actually happened on the day or is that just a thing from a dream?. One theory is that the MC refers to "summer disappearing" rather than saying she died because he pushed those memories so far down. Im so excited for the day we get to find out what actually happened although i suspect the revelation will be dark as shit.
If Summer was killed, Nika would have had closure. The fact that he doesn't know means she wasn't killed in the event. She might since have died, but that would be unknown. Nika plans on talking to Emilio to see if he can dredge up some facts to get closure. SO there will be part of the on going plot to find out what happened.

Things we know:
- Summer didn't explicitly die. All of Summer's school friends including Nia would have known, and it would have been in the news. Teens getting killed always make the news.
- Summer disappeared from all her friends, so of the parents moved away, there would be no secret from Nia who didn't talk with Nika back then, even if they kept the secret from Nika. A prominent family just up and moving to another country would be be noticed by Noji if nothing else, especially as we see she has a cougar gossip circle of the same standing as Summer's family.
- Missing teens almost always make the news, especially if they're from a prominent family that can look down on others. Summer's family were well off, snobby.
- Kidnapping definitely makes the news with snobby prominent families.
- The situation that happened caused Nika to have panic attacks - panic is flight or fight, so an actual event is most likely; SUmmer not turning up one day would most likely result in just depression without the panic attacks.
- The situation is not necessarily tied to the violent incident (when Nika was hospitalised and dropped out of society while recovering), but it could be. The violent incident could be as he went dark after Summer disappeared and got into fights. Being violent means intentional, not a car crash that caused his lungs to collapse.

Things that are plausible or known:
- Summer's family could be in witness protection because of events that happened in WiaB (or unrelated events). That would explain why Nia doesn't know what happened, and there is no news for Noji to give to Nia for closure. I think it would be related to something that happens in WiaB, as there seems to be bad blood between Noji and Katie - so there is possibly some continuity between WiaB, not just the people making cameos.
- It could be Summer's parents that are in protection and Summer has to go with them - Nika doesn't mention being questioned by cops. If both Summer and Nika witnessed the event, Nika would also have been in witness protection.
- His trauma over Summer isn't necessarily related to the violent incident. Also, teens getting almost killed/abducted/going missing all in one event? So news worthy. There would be news clipping for Nika to follow.
- Maybe Summer was abducted and Nika was present, and it was never solved. But Nami, Noji or Nia have no clue either, so there's been nothing in the media. The fact that no one knows means it's been covered up for some reason.
- Sasha had a violent incident, Bella's sister had one also. They could be unrelated, or they could all be related. The way Sasha (who has a bodyguard) looks at Nika suggests she knows him from before.
- Given that Amber doesn't react about Bella's sister (surely mom would be traumatised or explain what happened to her own daughter when Nika mentions he asked about the girl?) it does seem possible tht people in Wollust like hiding their secrets for unfathomable plot devices. So it could just be something that is a stretch.

The floating flower thing is the odd thing that makes Nika realise he's dreaming, one of those weird things brains do. I remember dreaming of a house that was all second floor with only a staircase supporting it, with grass all around. Dreaming brains are strange.

Yes, but we are still in the same, when the game has lewd scenes it will have to disappear from german steam anyway, why release the first season then? why not stick to other markets? why not leave those scenes in the patreon version that don't require code change?

Something smells fishy to me....
Currently Ocean is resident in Germany, so avoiding the issue makes sensefor Season 1. Ocean has made some statements that suggests he might move to avoid the restictions impacting further development, but also to lower cost of living. I'm pretty certain there's nothing fishy, he's just going for the minimal changes to keep the ball rolling right now, and pushing the problems of steam down the road to when season 2 is a thing, which is realistically not tomorrow, so he has time to work out how to get around the geo block. Not everyone makes a plan with 100% knowledge of how it will turn out, he's just doing what he can to get Season 1 completed with the current restrictions. After that he has time in the next development cycle to structure a plan for lewd content.

Something that should be said (in general, not that you made a comment about it) - maintaining a patreon lewd version and a safe steam version would slow down development a lot. It's not just cutting renders. It might not be double the work, but it does require a lot extra.

I believe it's a bug/inconsistency, at least in the current state of the game.
I'm not in disagreement... but considering:

Something's up though since the dev clearly made a difference stating "ratted us out" or "ratted me out"... so there's intent there.

Those are questions for Ocean, not me. Obviously German Steam is a honey pot in his view... otherwise I just fix the VN and mod it... I don't sell it.

The mod so badass it apparently can't be listed in the OP!
By request:
Includes the original Jacuzzi scene (found within SanchoGallery) and other miscellaneous scene reversions.

Changlelog:
  • Fixed every single bug I could find and reported the most critical ones to the dev directly.
  • Fixed the dev's missing images and wrong images during gameplay... but I didn't fix the stock gallery. Use SanchoGallery instead, that'll get you done.
  • Added missing sounds and music as necessary.
  • Reverted some old content back to their original more lewd variants. NOTE: The original full Jacuzzi scene is included inside SanchoGallery, the one shown during playthrough remains the dev's new edited version. This is intentional.
  • So many minor tweaks I can't even begin to log them all.

Thanks for the answer, with the previous comment that you quoted me, it had already been more than clear, as it is an independent season, it will be managed independently.

But equally, that means that for this season I could have left 2 versions, one for patreon and another for steam since they are only a few renders in scenes that develop equally and did not require code change, since it does not affect the continuity of the story for season 2 and did not force him to make changes in the next season just to keep those renders, as I say, they were only a few more images...

SanchoNote

Just a reminder for those who wish to play unmodded but want to use the "patch" file... I've got your back too.

SanchoMod Unmodded Fix #1
(for those getting exception error right before the beginning of Ch5's content) here

SanchoMod Unmodded Fix #2
(for those getting exception error in Ch3 due to the phone message app not having images) here

If you want the full bugfixes and features then just use SanchoMod... I fixed even more images, sounds, and music within it and even reverted some scenes back to their original non-edited versions.

Regards.

You're right with that, but then from an overall perspective, it is probably better that Ocean doesn't manage multiple versions. There's already enough continuity problems without getting lost between which scenes a patreon saw vs a steam user. Once the branch is made, he has to codevelop all future changes until season 1 release in two separate versions, or repeatedly cut the lewds and repeatedly heal the continuity errors to do a stripped down steam version.

I'm personally not stressed, because there was nothing so essential that was cut in my opinion. If being more mainstream helps Ocean buy render farms to speed up development, I can do without a few d or v pics for now. Actual patreons can of course voice their displeasure to Ocean, but that's not me, so I'll just wait for the steam release in any case.

The model is used in many games, more notably the MC in both Artemis and Leap of Fate.
...and William Zane i
Clearly Ocean makes the most boring and unappealing shit I have ever seen. The multiple remakes do not help his case.

Worst may be his army of simps that consider this to be some wonderpiece. With all of them doing the total on his dick in his safe space. There's zero chance that the guy will change. Can't believe ayo342 suggested in his review that more people should waste money for his endless holidays or new materials. No thanks! Keep your pigeons Ocean and milk them well. Those "slow individuals" deserve it for still supporting you after 5 years of your bullshit.
I take it you get your rocks off making smarmy comments in threads for games you don't like and have no interest in.

You don't like the game, good for you.

"Clearly Ocean makes the most boring and unappealing shit I have ever seen". ...again, good for you. However, that doesn't mean the rest of the world has to agree with you. It doesn't make those that disagree with you Simps, either.

"...milk them well." ...ahh, the usual low-rent comeback. Developers of games people don't like are automatically milkers. Developers who don't offer instant sexual gratification are automatically milkers.

If you come up with a well thought-out argument to back up your rhetoric, I might actually listen.

Multiple remakes? How about one overall remake since Ocean took back control of the game. Modifying, replacing, or deleting scenes for compliance reasons isn't remaking the game, it's modifying the game. I can think of several developers who had to modify their games due to the music licensing fiasco, and several more who had to modify their games to comply with Patreon. Those weren't remakes.

I love this game so much, but I genuinely cannot find a single instance where having any sort of relationship with Nami has a good ending, even more so if you plan on pursuing Bella or someone else. Hell I don't even see a situation where someone would be fine with you dating someone else, except maybe Victoria.

And yeah, once we get the full version of chapter 5, I guess we're on another year long wait ? That's painful.
Taboo relationships have different rules, like going into a burning house.

Yes maybe Vic, Nami should be jealous as fuck when pursued. (To show her insecurities)
