Hi, for those who played version 5 beta and season 1, can you tell me what changes? I've heard that in the beta version, the incest relationship no longer exists and that in the steam version, everything is censored.

I've stopped at Chapter 4.5, so I don't know which one to choose. :unsure:
You should really play again from scratch....lot of earlier chapter changes also. Plus, as an aside, playing the beta will not create a save point for you to import into Season 2.

I feel like I'm seeing déjà-vu with WiAB.... but thanks ! ^^


As for the MC's relationship with Nami, is the incest still in place ? Does the game still consider them brother and sister ?

It was never an incest story anyway. WIAB is, this isn't. People can continue to argue that until they are blue in the face but until the recent Patreon crazyness, Ocean himself always maintained that stance. If this was supposed to be, why admit WIAB is but not this hmmm? They arre adopted, there are reasons for it, and we will find out the full extent of those reasons and how they relate to WIAB in due time I'm sure.

As for deja-vu..somewhat but this has been all over the dam place, WIAB is much smoother and better experience as it was jump-started from the beginning.

I just don't want this “roommate” and “owner” nonsense. xD

In WiAB I find that the incest is a little more advanced, especially with the mother.

And folk are free to feel like that. Doesn't help with the multitude of dumb VN's around that use the terms...it kinda skewers one's perception of the terms hehe. However, when everything is revealed, incest mods will make zero sense. Could Ocean have the characters use different terms themselves? Yes, yes he could...and I admit that would be less cringe.

Was like that originally, was always meant to be like that, why it makes more sense. That is a main part of that story.

Worry not. The last 2 mods in the OP should make playing this game (the latest release) mildly enjoyable instead of complete ass ;)

Wait wait wait..."owner" is not the word you want to use here. We all know the Patreon codewords. I have been a tenant my whole life and never paid rent at my landlord and landlady's house growing up. Neither did my younger roommate. Bet you the MC and Nami never paid rent at their landlord's house either. Neither at their adoptive landlady's house. But they are still tenants and roommates. :sneaky:

For some reason, the only 'minor' character that really picked my attention is Robin. For some reason she's always buzzing around the MC and yet there's no hint if there're greater things to come with her.
This is the only game where there are many secondary characters who are more interesting than the main characters.

I, too, have always been warned against dating my roommates. The society at large is not ready for such romances.

Pass the shrooms.

I don't know, I've never been a roommate, but yes, that's what I want to avoid in the game... I just think it's a shame to use this term in renpy games just to get past the censors....

Season 2 - Chapter 1 - Dev Log #7
I can't find it
Hello,

GOG now gave me the next potential release date (June 5th). Let's hope it works.
And regarding Epic, I have been getting ghosted for over a week now, and well, there is nothing I can do there until they answer.

I have also been approached by a company named Stove (Smilegate), which translates games into Korean and is similar to Steam. Just in the Korean/Asian market.
I'm still verifying some essential things before I can say more.

As always, work is being done consistently and with a newfound energy. I've not been mentioning any render counts or percentages for the same reason as why I won't be giving out any estimates that aren't set in stone.
It's peaceful.

In the last log, I previewed the new dialogue style, etc.
Messe and I have made some adjustments to it.

He reduced the size of the speaker's name and also adjusted the dialogue size.

These are just example images.
The new dialogue style won't be added to Season 1.

It looks especially cinematic when nobody speaks, and instead, it's just a general scene description.
Of course, we might still make some adjustments with the release of S2-Chapter 1.
When we test it, we must check how it looks and feels. It can't be too small, or it will tire your eyes out, etc.

I've also mentioned the new choice style.

Orange choices advance the conversation.
Blue choices allow you to ask for more info about a certain topic.
(Messe is asleep; otherwise, I would ask him to change the description of the choices in the image to what I said above. But I have an ungodly sleep schedule. Totally my fault.)

Now that the MC is slooooowly healing, you can find out more about people.

Previews - 4k attached
I did mention that I'd be showing some Bellchen previews today, but scratch that. The scene is too cute, and I don't want to spoil it. Sorry.

But don't you worry... I have the next best thing...
Marla!
Amber's therapy is paying off.

Ayua

Sonya sparring with Ayua before the MC. Sorry, MC, Sonya is her new fav.
Vic's ready to join if necessary.

And at last...
"Stop laughing, Robin!"


Ever since my PC bluescreened an hour before I first uploaded to Steam, and I found my SSD hanging from the ceiling of my PC case, the PC has been acting weird.

Regarding the workstation:
I had planned to buy the workstation directly after Steam, but I had to recalculate due to some unfortunate events.
SG's Steam release helped me, but the German gov will be very interested in the Steam/Epic/GOG release and will adjust my pre-tax for 2025 accordingly.
Always happy to finance bike lanes in Peru, Germany. :)
I will wait 2-3 months until I know what I have to pay every quarter in pre-tax, and then I'll get the new Workstation.
For transparency's sake, I was already hit with a big boy bill a few days ago because Germany thinks the pre-tax I paid for 2023 wasn't enough and now wants a little more. And it will be adjusted again due to Steam, etc.
The annoying part is that many of the things I buy for the games can't just be declared as a business expense for the year I bought them; instead, they need to be written off over 3-10 years.
Simply put, I pay taxes on money I've already reinvested in the game, which is annoying.
Thankfully, I have a competent tax office that ensures I have room to breathe.

By waiting with the workstation, I'm just being careful... Because every German knows, you don't fuck with taxes or play the song from Gigi D'Agostino, L'amour toujours.

On the bright side, I already have the A6000 ADAs I wanted, and the workstation will be cheaper than I initially anticipated.

I'll see you in two weeks.

He only plays SG, every second of his life that he is awake.

At least that would explain his obsession with a game that he claims is shite from a devs he claims is a stupid milker that does everything wrong.
You did not guess right. I'm more amused by the stupidity of white knights. I love making fun of them between chapters when they defend Ocean's mistakes and shortcomings so hard. Sometimes I even think that Ocean pays them for this. :KEK:

By the way, since you brought up the topic of milkers, doesn't Ocean promise a bunch of different things to his fans, and then collect money from them and do nothing? As far as I know, this is precisely why the developers are called milkmen.

How many VN have you played ? :unsure:
I only play AVN

Are you referring to the second season?
If so, apparently the first chapter from season 2 will be longer than chapter 5
