Ocean said that the rework will be complete with CH 5 Final, which means that we have every reason to believe that we will get content updates more frequently. 100% of Ocean's effort will be able to be put into the latest chapter (a great Steam release will, IMO, positively impact SG in a number of ways, including update frequency).
I´m hopefully looking forward

I believe that the great renders & animations, music that has found its way onto several of my playlists, and deep story make my $ very well spent.
I can only emphasize :D

Anyway Merry X-Mas :love:

Hello, how much stuff is still left to be reworked, and what is the schedule for that? I remember seeing a post that had a schedule, but I can't find it.

None. There will be extra content in the full release (next month...planned). Soon as that happens, it will hit Steam. Rework is done.

Actually, Ocean's made a lot of expanded content to replace the old renders according to the dev logs, so some of that ch2 stuff is new content that places more information earlier in the game.
It might be new content but supposedly it shouldn't alter the story in any significant way. And it's not like the "new" content is fap content. So those that are very impatient and can't wait another month or so, go ahead and play through right now. You know you want to. Those that don't mind the wait, should wait.
so i can start playing it again, no new reworks coming?
No, some reworking of Chapter 2 will come with the Chapter 5 final release. But see my comment earlier in this post.

To add CabinFever: it´s said the chapter 2 is mostly reworked, especially the Heist is given more content. And I guess some models (e.g. Mila) got a new look.
I'm not sure if you are agreeing or disagreeing with me, but the point is none of that is in contradiction of what I wrote.

I'm starting to believe I have a thing for 'Bellas'. I decided to play this game with the intention of having a romance with Amber and... I failed miserably. It's very difficult to resist Bella, her chemistry with MC is so great that it overflows.

When I realized the MC was kissing Bella and I don't know how to explain what happened. If it's not possible to have a romance with Bella and Amber at the same time then I'm screwed.

I just got to the point in CH 2 where I got the message about the drop in quality. I came here to see if it was worthwhile waiting for the CH 5 Final version. Thanks!
If you haven't played SG before, then it makes sense to wait for Ch 5 FULL to drop (sometime next quarter). Then you'll get a very good idea of what the AVN is about and you will be able to decide if you like or not (bearing in mind there's no sex in the AVN yet), without the distraction of reworked content.

As an illustration of the reworked versus original renders, here's two characters:

There's much more to the increase in render quality than just character appearances and perhaps some other characters illustrate the difference more, but the above will give you a little idea.

ADDENDA: ... and starting with Ch 5 FULL will hopefully not break any saves you make while playing.

Yup according to this love interest list you are out of luck my guy.

Wow the rework of Mila is so much better than the original. I am glad they went back and improved the renders.
The quality of the renders themselves are far superior.

It's different strokes for different folks regarding any of the three hair styles she has throughout the game, or the subtle changes to her original proportions in the rework. Personally, I don't care, Mila is still Mila to me...

It's weird that Bella is both the most popular and the most hated girl. As far as I can observe on Discord, the simps of other girls have good feelings for many girls, but when it comes to Bella, they suddenly start spewing hate. I guess Bella's screen time bothers a lot of simps. If Bella's screen time suddenly drops, don't you think Ocean will get a big criticism? Because Ocean seems to be giving messages of this. Eva told Bella that canyon races were dangerous and that she had to be careful. I really wouldn't be surprised if Bella has an accident and we don't see her for a few chapters.

I'd say a careful storyteller would make those absences work into the plot's favour; Bella being in a hospital bed in the same way Vic was would be a cheap way to create drama, but told well, it could be very emotive and a great mirror to show different ways to dealing with loss. It might also be a way that Bella and VIc get brough closer together. A prolonged absence of Bella might also create tension as someone like Kate tries to win Nika behind Bella's back. Or the canyon race occurs while Nika is getting therapy at the cabin. THere are so many ways to weave that story.

I guess the Bella fans consider all the other girls distractions from the main story, because up to now Bella kinda is the story. Vic seems initially more important to the plot, but has become more like a side girl. All the other girls' fans kinda have to acknowledge that Bella's story arc is pretty great, even if they're interested in someone else. I'm personally not so interested in Nami, although I do like the tensions and hilarious awkwardness she creates, but she's really well written even if I'm not interested. Just like Zara won some Bella fans over, I'm sure each will have their moment, and Ocean will make sure he keeps the other fans happy. Maybe there will be lots of phone/social media interaction if a LI doesn't get much screen time. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

Already rolling on the speculation path, maybe it would work better if Bella would get arrested and incarcerated for a few weeks for illegal racing (she would also lose her race car and her license for a longer period and she'd have a huge quarrel with her mom, obviously), instead of getting injured and hospitalized the way Vic was? :sneaky: Just a somewhat interesting thought I had...
