What are you talking about, it doesn't say anything about spam, you're making something up. We were sent a leaked devlog, and you're talking about what spams....
How to say "I'm a young pup and knows not what the early internet was like" without saying "I'm a young pup and knows not what the early internet was like".

Maviarab is absolutely correct, although in this day and age, it's generally (but still not always) less of an issue.

I won’t argue, as far as I remember he has 2 of them.
It's good that you won't argue, because you remember wrong.

This is absolutely not true. Ocean tries to make beautiful and high-quality pictures. But he’s not the only one, many artists also make high-quality pictures, but they don’t have the money to buy an A6000 or 3090. How then do they make renderings if they don’t have enough VRAM? Of course, a large number of Vrams is good, but if there is none, it does not mean that you cannot make renders. You can find a bunch of ways to quickly render without losing quality and with a small VRAM.... here's one of them...
Yet again you have demonstrated you don't understand how rendering works. Yes of course you can make high quality images without a ton of VRAM. But it's impossible to make a high quality, highly complicated, and highly populated rendering without a ton of VRAM.

The 3090 is still useful, yes, but it's useless for the rest of the rendering Ocean wants to do. You can do beautiful character rendering with just 2gb of VRAM, but what about rendering scenes featuring 20+ characters.

In the devlog he mentions that he always experiences crashes in many scenes that feature many characters (on 24gb VRam). That's why he used the A6000 and then the 6000ADA to render. As for methods of saving VRam usage, Ocean knows a lot more than us, even with all that, he still often lacks VRam to do many of the rendering scenes he wants.

BTW, the video you listed is for blender, and Ocean uses Daz.

Daz is famous for sucking up a lot of VRam compared to Blender, which is why Ocean started migrating to Blender. Adding a GPU that has a lot of VRAM and starting to learn blender is Ocean's answer to the challenges of SG's second (or third) season which is expected to feature a lot of renders containing a lot of characters.

Still, the main character needs to start with treatment from a sexologist. Otherwise, there will be no point in big boobs and beautiful faces of girls.

Season 2 Supervised date with her family. Promise to be faithful.
Season 3 Convert religion. Study theology.
Season 4 No sex until marriage.
Season 5 Dev dies of old age just before wedding.
At least we'll have a normal haircut for family date.

No beard shaving allowed.
It's not so clear-cut: in Iran( where Sonya from) beards are only recommended for civil servants. you can actually see a lot of men without beards in Iran.
And moreover mc seems can`t grow a beard, we see no stubble at all

By the way, can you please tell me: Am I right to understand that work on season 2 has not started at all yet? I read the devlogs, but I assumed that he at least started something in the new season

if I understand correctly only small bits and pieces here and there have been worked on but the main focus been the rework / steam release.

Yeah, I don't remember him giving any numbers on S2CH1 SG either, he just mentioned that he works on it from time to time and posted some previews.

But here's a quote from the WIAB dev log from early January, just to give an idea of how big those small bits and pieces can be (the last WIAB chapter released is chapter 3). :KEK:
So, Chapter 3.5 is now in the works.[...] As I mentioned in a previous Log, I can work on two updates at the same time, thanks to the A6000. That's why I'm already ~700 renders deep into the next Update.
While this is just my pure speculation and I have no idea how much progress he made on S2 of SG, 1500 new renders of reworked S1 chapters and ~700 from the next WiAB chapter alone isn't bad at all.

Ocean's been posting the odd S2 renders here and there since late October I think. He's also said he's going to limit the preview of them so he doesn't give away spoilers too early. So he's been churning away behind the scenes, as usual :)

I know you're all over it yossa, but for those who haven't seen it, the S2 Dev Log #3 is worth having a look at for the kind of renders Ocean is doing for S2:

Is the full planned rework of the all chapters? Complete season 1 or not?
Yep, steam release of season one is tying the knot off on the reworks. Ocean has finished all the renders and will only rerender the bar scene if Steam take a while giving season 1 the green light. I think the bar scene is the only old scene remaining currently. Everything else has been rendered and sent to his testers.

Ok, thanks. I think still, it's worth waiting for the result of the steam release.
With rework the bar scene if release will allow on steam.

It's definitely worth waiting for the steam release if you haven't played it in a while; the current release has continuity problems because the rework is incomplete. It'll be great to sit down and play it from start to finish as Oceans means it to be. I am sure that given Ocean's perfectionism, if he ships it to steam with the current bar scene (and any errors that got missed by his proof readers/testers) he'll probably release a patch, but it seems to me that he is keen to move on to the next part of the story. The fact that he is doing a lot of work on both season 2 of SG and the next two chapters of WiaB says to me he is keen to show us what develops from here and is kind of ready to let things stand for what they are now.
