As a side question, what's the origin of this term 'Bellachen'?

I'd assume created by the Bella simps. Every simp here has their Waifu (and their nicknames?) that the MC will bang while they watch and jerk their meats to.

They can't get that pussy in RL, sadly.

how will they ever be happy again???

Many ways to be happy, but if you haven't experienced those yet, you wouldn't know.

I come here fairly regularly to stay apprised, but I always seem to miss something big.

"Before that, 99% of the resources were focused on the 2.2k new renders for Season 1 - Chapter 2."

What the fuck does this mean? So we're not done with the season 1 reworks after all? What's his goal this time around? I wish he would just go ever forward and then do a director's cut or remaster after it's all done.

As a side question, what's the origin of this term 'Bellachen'? I gather that it's Bella and MC relationship, but I haven't seen it before.

Ocean's simply saying that until May, he focused on wrapping up the rework/steam stuff rather than moving forward on Season 2. From May, he's just been doing Season 2 (and WiaB). No more reworks for Season 1 shall be said out aloud for fear of lynching is my guess.

I mean..what is she going to text him? Do have dick, for a pic ? Lol

YES!

...

Bellchen is just an Oceanism he uses to refer to Bella.

Short of going back through years of dev logs, I could not say when he started using it or if he had a nickname for any of the other LI's.

Cheers!!

So is there any updates on the progress after steam release? Did the dev fulfill his promise that updates will be faster after the 1st chapter is released on steam?

 

[HarryDubois420]

I hope there's an initiation ritual or something when Nika and the lads finally join the main team. I wanna see what these 3 cook up next.

Also. Don't do steroids lads.

He said the next update is 50% done and will be a big update with like 5000 or more renders. Most likely releasing late November.

I appreciate the response. I think the 2.2K renders threw me off. I had no idea there were that many and I knew he was reworking for Steam, but I didn't put the timelines together.

If I download the steam version, does it include ch.5 beta?

Season 1 is Ch1 - Ch5, some things changed from the beta to the full, but mostly things in earlier chapters changed. The steam version is the same as the patreon version and includes everything Ocean has officially released. A poster here has made a fan edit that restores scenes that were cut from the full release, but there is no guarantee that your saves will work with Season 2 if you use a modded version. Like to the modded version is on the first page.

Ch 5 in the ch 5 beta release, the same as ch 5 in the season 1 steam release.

I know we had suggestions with Ayua, I just don't think it will come to be, not that I don't want to. just better be pleasant surprised than disappointed. Now, why old she wold not do that ? she is young, beautiful, maybe she just waked up felling frisky. Is not like the Zanes are the conservative type, if anything they are the most sex positive people in the town. Maja is lewdable, no ?
I know she is not LI, but was under the impression that she was lewdable.

Now, Ayua special case may be for a hundred different reasons. Is not really something that is possible to discuss, I just offered my 2 cent on the matter. I do like it about his games, the world really feels alive and lived in.

I keep my opnion that Ayua is Miru and William daughter, Nika is William son and that's why they can have a relation cuz incest

 

[LHDLLB]

At this point Auya is almost confirmed being William's and Miru, almost being the key here, it is not impossible that some yakuza have a child with Leia or William is raising the daughter of some Bull that fucked Miru.

But I do agree with you that this is the far more plausible scenario. Same goes for Nika, but here is truly more wishful thinking that anything else, as there is no indication of kinship between them in the game.

 

[arkopand]

I feel like Nika is Leia's since the eye color is similar. Also makes sense that he loses his parents young, given Leia's lifestyle.

This is the shit that fries my noodle. Ocean openly chastizes his friend's gf in the devlog for having different priorities than him. For seeking profitability over quality when he is the one who butchered his own VN trying to bend over backwards to publishing platforms and music license holders.

Am I the only one losing my mind at the hipocrisy of those statements?!?!?!? Dude literally went and chased profit and exposure over the quality and integrity of his work.

There's a difference between making compromises in order to make ends meet and knowingly putting out low-quality slop because it will sell regardless. Ocean is a fucking autist(as if we didn't already know) for losing his shit over something like that(a woman has no integrity, oh the horror), but he's not wrong.

So... the new version of Steam is throttled and the Dev has deleted all the politically incorrect stuff, and if we want to see that deleted content we necessarily have to download the old versions of the game as well?

What are you referring to?

Pretty much, but if you have never seen it I wouldn't, because:

1. it is gone forever and no longer canon, many scenes had some more or less subtle changes and make no longer sense for future releases.
2. best case, you find the new (and canon) version (mostly) better and would have wasted time on stuff that no longer matters in the long run anyway.
3. worst case, you find the new version worse and seeing it ruined part of the game for you or even worse add to the "complaining about that"-voices that won't change anything, but stirr shit up after every new dev log and/or release.

But on a more serious note: if you are that curious about stuff that no longer matters and have that much time left: go ahead, knock yourself out. (I know I would and I am pretty sure I would regret it in most cases, not here though, I find the rework MOSTLY better than the old stuff)

You're right, Mila and the girl in the wheelchair are not as "FIT" as before, but they are still very pretty, a little thicker/chubby, but not to the point of making them fat and cellulite-ridden like other games have done (cough..WVM!..cough), so at least I'm happy with that.
