Unless the cinematic has a big dramatic effect and is a must, then it would be welcome, instead, the cinematics are used for random scenes that would be better replaced with static renders. Probably saves a few weeks of development. Cinematics should be for unique awe factor moments. But what do you know.

let me quote you, looks like you have a problem with short-term memory:
" If the dev wants to make this a full time profession and wants big monthly contributions, he should deliver. "
The dev is full-time, and your statement "wants big monthly contributions" indicates that you think the dev is in fact not making big monthly contributions. Which is incorrect. But anyway I'll put you on my ignore list now, because you are annoying.

Simple fact of the matter is, the tags show you there's next to nothing lewd, there's a warning that you'll get blue balled if you want the lewds... so did you disobey Nami and Sasha? You're asking for something to be in the game when it's clearly stated it won't be for this season.
Ocean explained why he had to cut the tiny amount lewd scenes that were there. It's up to you whether you believe his reasons or not. A bit of eye candy would mean a lot of voided music contracts and wasted money. I think he chose wisely - a few pics of downstairs aren't worth getting excited about, and avoiding the adult tag gives him a wider audience on steam. Once the release of season 1 is out, he'll have a much better focus for season 2 which will be NSFW, and already has worked out how to deal with the licensing so this doesn't happen again.... but then we'll see everyone complain their favourite girl hasn't had enough screen time... Maybe his new cards (that he only just got) plus the Daz optimisations will see a decent turnover. But until we get past the steam hurdle, everyone is either blueballed or ...somehow enjoying the story for what it is.
Heck, maybe that's Ocean's fetish - blueballing his readers. Can't honestly blame him. People going blue is pretty funny. Maybe the start of the first lewd scene, Nika tries a move on Sasha, and he aunt chokes hime to death. The end ....plus an asphyxiation tag I guess...
I guess we'll see once season 2 kicks into gear. It's pretty pointless wanting it to be different when he's almost finished season one.
And as all the above have said - it's not a porn game. Ocean's specifically trying to avoid that for season one, and he still has enough support from patrons. The number of paying patrons shows he has enough support for his vision, it's just not the same as your vision for the game.

Who said anything about being naked as a prerequisite?
Right: So 24 full updates (for both) in 63 months (if we take both) is an update every 3 months (give or take a few days). So you're saying, he should be (and other developers are) produce(ing) 3x this amount?
Bwahahahahahaha
Even if I emphasised novel...that still doesn't need to include sex. I think you're confusing yourself to makre something fit a narrative you want it to in order to prove your case. Epic fail kid.
Sure...because PG stuff deals with these themes.
*sighs*...to the list you go....lost count of how many idiots from this thread have made it there at this point.

You have to consider the cut patreon/SS takes for them self and taxes between 25-42% (depending on the income) here in germany.
Steam takes roughly 30% from a dev, that means:
| Season 1 price (roughly) | 15$ |
| Steam takes 30% | 5$ |
| Income left for Ocean before taxes | 10$ |
| Taxes from greedy asshole gov 25%-42% | 7,5$ - 5,8$ |
And I'm not sure if the taxes are taken from the base steam price, if this the case we are talking about 6,25$ - 3,7$ income for Ocean per selled copy.
So you stated false interpretation of what I said and then ran away to hide because you don't want to be proven wrong.
You do realize that the contributions/subscriptions are payments so I know the dev is earning a big amount and I imply that in my comment. It means that if the dev still wants to such big amount, he should deliver.
And thanks for proving my point that, even if the dev is full time and making big amount of money, his updates output is that of a part time dev who is barely earning anything and is using this as a hobby.
Finally, a user with a good reply to positive criticism instead of blind bashing ones.Simple fact of the matter is, the tags show you there's next to nothing lewd, there's a warning that you'll get blue balled if you want the lewds... so did you disobey Nami and Sasha?

Also, the music that caused licensing issues couldve been easily removed and replaced while keeping such scene. Maybe I missed why, not sure "wanting to keep it SFW" is the case.
And I feel like the dev actually has a fetish of blueballing others or he himself got the dysfunction or smthn.

The fact that it is 63 months with barely even past season 1 or big story progression is enough to be seen as a red flag and dev working at probably 20% of what he can do. Just milking. We would be lucky if the game is done in the next 10 years with such progress.
And yes, if you emphasize on novel, you'd at least have something to look out for, such as a good plot and progression, even if there is nothing lewd, but nothing is captivating, and it is a slow burn. If it was an actual book, it wouldve been thrown long ago.

If the released chunky updates are for you no big story progression - on two games - then you should work on your mental agility 'cause it looks like you lack the computing power in your brain to process the content of the updates...
And the guy who thinks quantity over quality is something good is telling me I lack computing power xD
Wouldn't mind even half the renders if the progression was worth it.
and the number of renders per update here really doesn't matter and it shows a lack of progression when such numbers only contribute to a total of a couple scenes. We don't need a different render per every line spoken by a character, might as well turn it into a fully animated movie instead.

I'm glad you take it that way - the thread's only recently had a mod cull. I'll keep my reply short for that reason (keeping my head down).
It's 100% certain that Ocean could have replaced the music with something else, but would you really want him to delay season 1 (and the following season 2) simply to rework a few limp dick pics to new music? Because that's the likely outcome. Ocean weighed up the amount of lewd material (not much) versus the money he'd spent on the music (a decent amount). I can understand that, and it's probably better in the long run for the story - having wider support, and season 1 as a gateway to season 2 for people on steam who might have the adult tags blocked makes sense as a business move. Success on steam will mean better stability for the development of the game - resources so he can do more outsourcing (like he did for the sports field I believe) so he can develop faster without reinventing the wheel.
As far as the fetish goes, can't say he didn't warn us, Nami and Sasha really care for us with each update
The animated movie thing is almost what Ocean is trying to do. That's his style. It didn't start that way, but how many other games have as many renders, or take as long to read? It might not need it, but that's the game's aesthetic. Might as well ask why Nami is the Cheeto while Bella's a blonde. Some choices we have no influence over and we have to take them as they are.

From CH5 Beta post release log (1 Nov 23):
But all in all, of course, this guy is a terrible spender. He spends the hard-milked coins on completely unnecessary things, buys some stupid music licenses, signs up for some idiotic writing courses, and I’m not even gonna start about the endless upgrades of his favorite video card toys. Well, why the hell does he need cards for five grands of euros each, when the experts from this thread have finally proven that the 2070th copes with rendering just as well or even better. And if you take used ones, for example from miners after a few years of mining ethereum, then it will be almost free.

So I suppose the steam release will be done once ch 5 full is completed? which I assume is not far now since beta has been out for quite some time.I'm glad you take it that way - the thread's only recently had a mod cull. I'll keep my reply short for that reason (keeping my head down).

And yeah, if the dev didn't care so much about going into the detail of a detail, I'm sure the progress would've been faster and the game would've had much more supporters. There need to be a balance.

Maybe I'm overthinking this, but in events, when Nami and Sasha are together, it's literally like they're in a mirror. Literally everything, from the hairstyle to the earring.
Or for example, when Nika is training with Sasha.Sasha is literally opposite Nami, as if in a mirror.
They really are like twins.

This is one of the big issues currently in the game. But it ends up being an expected consequence of the Dev's decision to include no sex scenes in the first season. To compensate and offer some lewdness to players you now get nudity scenes in the most awkward situations. The most egregious I remember, being Nami in the bathroom and the porch talk with Nojiko. Ruining an otherwise amazing scene with crotch and cleavage shots of Nojiko feels tacky and weird. It's out of place fan service that ends up hurting the story and it's characters.
There are moments in which nudity appears to be justified, such as Nami undressing in her room after the MC follows her, upon her finding out that everyone hid Nojiko dating Nick from her. Or Bella being naked in fetal position next to the bed after running to her room when Amber accuses her of hurting the MC. Even Vanessa's testing and teasing before the tennis match at Nick's. Those are scenes in which nudity isn't straight up gratuitous, instead being used to show vulnerability like the first two I pointed out.
Then you have dumb shit like Nia fondling her breasts in front of a guy in the gym, the Zara "wardrobe malfunction" in the basketball game, Nami parading around in only panties at the Frohn's and Vic sitting there with her tits out like its nothing. I mean, I know the girl can't walk but she can damn well drag her ass and grab a blanket or a top to cover herself.

63 months, with Final product ±12000 renders (excluding cinematic renders), it produces 190 renders per month. And many game devs put out monthly updates around that (even if reduced to +10000 renders, it's still around 160 renders). And that amount is extraordinary given how high the quality of the rinder Ocean produces.

So sad and pathetic....Approx 65% of his posts in a game thread he doesn't like, thinks is a waste, whines about and thinks the dev is a milker...
Must be related to Alex....
