I completely forget, how long is it usually between beta release and full? 4 months?

Normally 1-2 months (or more depending on how much needs to be adjusted).

According to Ocean's initial estimates, SG ch 5 Full will be released in December or at the latest in January and the new PC procurement process will take place within 1 month after that.

But everything didn't go as planned. Many renders use more than 24GB of VRam, much more than expected (rendering always crashes if the amount of VRam is not sufficient), while Ocean only has 1 RTX A6000. He has tried various methods, reducing the number of characters that must be included, etc., but to no avail.

That's why he accelerated the process of procuring new PCs (even if only partially). That also requires a process. Applying for credit to the bank, purchasing/renting a GPU (I forget which one) and several things in between. And 2 new GPUs are in Ocean's hands (if I'm not mistaken in mid-January).

So progress is running again. we can monitor by reading his weekly Devlog.

This isn't some Hitchcockian thing is it? Where the Maker of the games makes cameo appearances throughout. Could Ocean's real surname be Waschbär?

Either that or Ocean's a Buddhist and Summer's been reincarnated. /s

any sharing in this game guys? and does the WT mod and uncensor patch work with the steam version?

For now, you can only share a jacuzzi with some girls, this is as much as the MC gets.
There are no adult scenes in the first season, bro. :HideThePain:

And it is unclear whether the mods will work with the Steam version; with the Patreon version, usually the mods were always updated within one or two days after the release.

We're not looking for flaws - we're pointing out how much worse the quality is than what we've seen in OCeans work. Again, the fact that you can't see these problems but look for flaws in Ocean's work shows you have no aesthetic credibility or judgment. You keep undermining your own arguments with terrible examples that make people doubt your eyesight.

I think Ch5 Full will be over 10000 renders - Ocean's quality control is much higher than that one render provided tha thas so many flaws. You can't be taken seriously when this is your "smoking gun" for how Ocean is wasting his time leasing video cards. You've also shifted the argument - initially is was why 'Ocean ddoesn't need expensive video cards', now you've changed the your argument to 'Ocean makes mistakes'. No one is buying your point of view because you're just continually just shifting attacks, dropping what you were talking about. It's hard to see your point when you keep jumping around merely to attack from a different angle. If you want to have credible points, be consistent.

The burden of proof is on you, not us. We're actually quite calm and happy - we'd be happier with Ch5 full, but I guess we all have to find our copium somehow.

We can see the flaws in Ocean's work, but again, in the whole VN up to current, Ocean has far better quality control than that one render you used to show how Ocean could improve. That basically shows the whole thread what your opinion actually is.

Not to mention the entire line of criticism is completely beside the point. Ocean's developed a unique aesthetic in a digital medium that requires powerful graphics processors to realize. If you find that aesthetic compelling, you like Ocean. (I very much do, just to be clear.)

If you don't, then I guess his games are tedious, over-stylized melodramas with unjustifiable production timelines. I don't know why one would then go on and on about it on an Ocean forum, but that's a separate mystery.

But trying to make it an argument about image quality control is like bitching that Georges Seurat is too low-resolution.

(That's the pointilism guy.)

Is this true or farfetched? WIAB user ending will carry over to SG? So, if we avoid Nika being born in WIAB then the protag will differ in SG? Man, this sounds so ambitious, LMAO.

That's why I keep saying, that every player should consider his own playthrough as canon. No matter what's being hinted at in the other games.
I sadly don't have the resources to implement choices from WiAB into SG.
The scope of this (integrating 5 Games with thousands of choices) would probably even make a big Triple-A Studio cry.

I'm trying to keep it somewhat vague, but some plot points I just need to force.
I can only tell you to pretend that your own experience is the real deal. (I might give a little choice at some point in SG (To pick your WiAB Li), to at least cater some dialogue to your own experience.

Sorry, but that's all I can offer atm.
