Man, I kind of just wrote a long-ass post answering this question.i don't get the whole getting ready for steam version and cutting out certain scenes because they are too erotic. when i have seen certain games with very very erotic scenes and very very taboo themes and they have been on steam for years and still making money for the devs and steam hasnt banned them.
Of course i played and, as i said earlier, had to play from the very beginning!Haven't you played the chapter 5? You should play and find out for yourself
thanks for the post now i understand the reasoning and fully agree with the logic.Man, I kind of just wrote a long-ass post answering this question.

One continual assumption in this thread is that Ocean's main goal in each of these games is to render successively hotter lewd scenes, and the plot is secondary. It is clearly not, the plot is Ocean's main goal, and the lewd scenes are just part of the AVN norm that he works within. WiaB basically starts with a sex scene, so it's just a plot device as far as Ocean is concerned, it's not the point of the AVN.So much text and all for nothing! xD
Of course, i read what was written at the very beginning on the main page!
The dev didn’t have any problems with sex in his other game(but it also does not have much plot development over several years - just reworks), just take a simple trend: the market for such projects is aimed at teasing to the end, when games stand for years on a storyline in order to approach the hot scenes!
Blue balls are a feature of similar projects that plague their audience - as if we are waiting for GTA6! xd
Are we in a kindergarten or on a forum for adults? He positions himself as an dev of an adult games!
But again, I’m talking about progress and you’re ready to sit and watch regression and enjoy it!
Well good luck!
It's not about getting around bans, WiaB already has lewd scenes that aren't censored, so Ocean is fine with it. It's about licensing and marketing. Ocean wants Season 1 of SG to effectively be a teaser to hook people in regardless of age restrictions, and how easy it is to get around them. An adult tag means it won't show up in some users discovery feeds on Steam. It's purely to increase exposure. Also, having one season accepted because it's super vanilla beige in terms of adult content, will probably help season 2 get past steam's approvals quicker, making the future development easier. If the game gets a good profile, Ocean will have an easier time getting good music licenses, even with adult content.i don't get the whole getting ready for steam version and cutting out certain scenes because they are too erotic. when i have seen certain games with very very erotic scenes and very very taboo themes and they have been on steam for years and still making money for the devs and steam hasnt banned them.
What does this have to do with the lewd scene?
Cutting out the lewd scenes didn't waste much time, and yes the development is longer than anyone wants, I can certainly agree on that. But I'm really happy for the reworks. It's far more consistent to me as a story.What does this have to do with the lewd scene?
I wrote about the plot, how far has the plot progressed?
Long ru? xd
How long will the game itself be in development for - Twenty years?
I originally wrote that there is no need to rework what has already been reworked! That it was not necessary to change Nami and that all! Rework-reworkings lead to even long delays! Years...
That's all!
I don't why your bitching about an unfinished game that you haven't even put money up front and got it for free. Your the like the 1,000s person to come in and bitch about it. It's pointless no one here can do anything about the problem you pointed out, most of these people don't even support the patron I bet. If you want to give constructive criticism to author the there's better ways to do that then bitch about it to random's.You yourself confirmed in your own words that the game has been "standing still" for three years!
And why do those who support the dev financially constantly have the idea that those who pirate his projects do not have the right to express their opinion?
I never said that the dev is doing something bad - it’s his business how to do his projects! I just provided some facts, which in my opinion, complicate and delay the release of new updates!
His games are very good, cinematics, renderings, characters, dramatic stories, musical accompaniment, all this is done at the highest level!!!
Only one thing is missing - "hot scenes"!
Which is the fate of steam to be removed from the project and yes, my opinion is that this is a downgrade not only in "hot scenes" but also in the plot of the relationship between Nami and Niko! Scene in the jacuzzi could push them further in the plot where their next "hot scene" it would be much better and more "serious", but dev have to re-create the scene to go further with their sexual plot(i.e. in other words, start again from the beginning)! Which increases the waiting time for such content significantly!
Dev has great respect for his work, but a little constructive criticism, even from a pirate, wouldn’t hurt!
And this is just my subjective opinion!
You missed Nia's house and her talking about Summer.
Reworks and WiAB, yes, but not only that.
Maybe to you. And this is where the facepalm is sorely needed. He worded it pretty poetically, but yeah, if you want an example of perfectionism, you have the taxi driver in "Collateral" played by Jamie Foxx, who said he was only doing it temporarily, and when Tom Cruise asked him how long he'd been a taxi driver he said "15 years".
I definitely forgot about this big event.
I'm in no rush to watch the end credits as long as the developer can release regular story updates and continue to keep me entertained. The more characters, the merrier. I currently play BaD and SG and no longer play LoF. Can you guess why?
How can you forget the cliffhanger???Reworks and WiAB, yes, but not only that.
- Bella's storyline continued with her finally confessing her feelings for the MC. Romantic scene in the desert. An important decision is how they define their relationship now (open/casual or "all or nothing", leading to another breakup). The kitchen scene where MC learns more about Bella and Zara's childhood, which gives him a much deeper understanding of their characters. Nami's jealousy of Bella and their interactions are hilarious as hell. MC finds out that Bella is being stalked by Ceril's sister and the idiot racer.
- Nami's storyline continued. Shadows of the past tainting their newfound passion for each other. Nami is desperately jealous of everyone if you kissed her in the previous chapter, or indifferent if you didn't. Sincere talk at the end of the chapter and important decision about relationship with Nami.
- Nia's storyline continued. The beginning of a romantic route with her? Options to getting more physical with her which will most likely later affect relationships with other girls. MC learns more about her characters and finds out about Nia's relationship with Summer. The important choice to agree on a date with her at the end of the visit.
- Zara's storyline continued. Zara's sincere joy at the opportunity to live with Nika under the same roof. Deeper development of her character. Meeting and night street basketball with a couple from a rival college, which will clearly play a role in the plot in the future. A very important key phrase that the MC can say to Zara, I think this opens up Zara's route.
- Mila's storyline continued. A short scene which allows the MC to finally settle up Mila's route and decide if he wants to be with her.
- The most important key scene of the entire chapter is the visit to the book club. Introduces MC to the women of Wollust's high society. Opens up many further plots, but now much of the information is still vague and its meaning ambiguous. At the very least we learn that:
- Noji has been a member of this club for a long time.
- Noji has a beef with Katie Zane, and Katie really wants to meet Nami and Nika.
- Noji and Amber knew each other well, but they played strangers to Nika when he had his first therapy session. This bothers him and he decides to look into it. And now he doesn’t know what else Noji is hiding from them and why.
- The women in the book club clearly know something about Nami and Nika that Nami and Nika don't.
- Nika has the opportunity to communicate with Sasha and begin their closer acquaintance. They both suffer from panic attacks.
- WZ and Leia are alive and lurking somewhere nearby.
- The least interesting thing is the possibility of affairs with hot milfs.
- A rat infestation finally brings Noji and Nick together and forces Nami and Nika to decide to move into the student house. A stay at Nick's house allows MC to learn that Vanessa is strangely aware of his romantic life and knows too much about him and Mila. And training with Zara is inevitable and will start the next morning
Of course, I missed a lot and only skimmed over the key points of the fifth chapter. But all of this only makes sense if you're playing a story-focused game with adult elements. If you're waiting for porn, it's just a waste of time, at your fingertips holding Ctrl.
I'm in love with the Cheeto.
-Why?
Leap of Faith. Because it is completed
Sorry, it's my fault, I started it. It's hard to stay focused on a certain game while general topics are being brought up. But continue this we're violating rule 4: "Please avoid discussing or advertising other games in game threads, as this will often derail the discussion"
Oh, ok.Leap of Faith. Because it is completed
It was great while it lasted, but now it's just a good memory.
And I really liked the characters and would love to see more of their stories.
But it's gone like Summer.
But why abandon characters that the dev has spent so much time on, whom he was developing over a few years, and whom audiences love? What's wrong with a long saga, with a bunch of characters, complex plot twists, a lot of parallel substories? Now, when he will release the first season, consider it the first game in a series of several games from the Summer's Gone lore.Oh, ok.
I don’t see anything bad in this, the dev can start making a new game if he wants.
There was one such game after the end of which i really felt sad, because it was over, and in this i can understand you, but after two years he began to continue the story.
I just said, what i don’t think he needs to be done redone-redone, and again, i like these two projects, so i want more!
You mean all the things his haters (and armchair experts) wish they were doing right in their lives?
