I didn't understand what Ocean meant here, to be honest 200 lines of code seem easy, though.
However, it must be remembered that what hinders development speed is the rendering quality that exceeds the PC's capacity. Hopefully the new PC can provide a significant increase in work speed.

I saw this comment in reddit -> "Less than 200 line means update possible in maybe 3-4 months."
is this true ?
If that was from Ocean himself..he trolling Reddit for the cesspit echo chamber it is lol.

He was always aiming for end of Jan...how long it then takes Steam to do their shit is another matter. Then it will be officially out/released. Though if he left here, I'd be utterly fucking amazed if Ocean is on reddit.

It would be a shame if too many renders from that first day at college are changed, all for the sake of one hairdo. Honestly, I'd be fine if Ocean just "hung a lantern on it" - i.e. have Mila comment later that she was just trying a different hairstyle during those first few days. But, as you say, her body is different too... so, it's more than just the hairstyle. If he does revisit it, I hope Ocean can render those scenes exactly the same, but with an updated Mila.
I'd imagine he has the scenes backed up, and all he'd have to do is load the assets to rerender - that would be sensible anyway - always keeping a backup of the unflattened project file in case you lose the render.

Then it'd just be the simple case of tweaking Mila's assets. I might be naive, but that's how most multimedia stuff works, you have all the raw assets, a file stores how they interact together in the app space, and then you can churn out all your separate format outputs. I don't do graphic rendering, but the principle is probably the same as what I'm used to.

From the dev log a couple of pages back, down the bottom after the distracting Nami renders:

"Less than 200 lines are left. I can see the light.

It also feels so good to work on Season 2 again."

Someone replied then that we'd see it at the end of March as a usual trollish Ocean-can't-tie-his-shoes-without-tripping-over-a-render-pc kinda comment.

I think it means something like 200 lines of the script to connect to renders - ie the renders are all done, but need to be put into place and tested etc. I don't expect this will delay anything. The time sink items are the intro cinematic and the gallery.

You would be correct good Ser Duck.

I imagine Ocean saves the complete loaded scene and also saves a complete loaded scene minus characters (as well seperate saved character files). So you'll have seperate dufs saved for characters (even possibly with diff clothes etc) and a seperate saved full scene minus characters (example..book club).

That way, you can load a character with ease with clothing already done into any scene, or load a full scene and just change a cup placement...or a hair style...or a top...whatever. Lot of data, lot of space required to do this for...every...scene (I know lol)...but makes going forward much quicker, especially if you need to just quickly adjust something to re-render it.

This might be a controversial take, but I'm a little disappointed that there's less variety in body types as the game continues. Every girl keeps getting larger over time. I'm sure most people out there don't mind at all, it's just a little unfortunate for people like me who enjoy thinner/petite women.

It's a really minor disappointment in an AVN that I thoroughly enjoy overall. It definitely won't stop me from playing and loving new updates in the future. Hopefully the new hardware means we'll see some of season 2 this year.

I asked him and it's 200 lines of dialogue. Congrats, your train of thought was correct.

Just become an Amber fan my friend. ;) She is built perfectly in every possible way.

Not controversial at all. It's been heavily discussed here. The trend exists but I feel like either most people don't care or the body type Ocean is slowly morphing every single girl into is something most people enjoy.

I opt to see the bright side of it, SG's cast is extremely bloated as is so it makes it easier to cross out most girls. Imo counting both SG and WiaB, I find 95% of the girls gorgeous from the neck up and 95% of them unattractive from the neck down. Leaves only a few I give any fucks about so no need for multiple saves and routes.

Ayua's new remodel made her look more like Nojiko , hoping for Ocean to stop messing around with the characters , not all the characters came looking good after the retouches .

View attachment 3295123
First Ayua was best, agree, it got really messed up...Oh and many of the girls look like clones of each other now. It wasn't like that. I hope Amber and Sonya won't be changed.

Personally don't have any issue with any of the girls bodies/proportions in this game or Where it all began then again might just be my type idk lol both games are actually among the few where i like all the lasses in the game at least 99% but i can see why some might not be to keen on it since quite a few girls in both titles who where maybe on the smaller size how been given a booba and butt boost

Oh just you wait. I was hoping he wouldn't touch Nami and look where we are :LOL:

Ayua looks 10 years older now. If you put a cigarette in one hand and a glass of red wine in the other, with a hint of bags under her eyes she could pass for a 35 year old. What someone in her mid thirties is doing playing basketball in college I don't know :ROFLMAO:
