Hello,

Down below, you'll find 10 Sasha images. (4k attached)

Just as with the Bella set. A few themed images followed by some "real-life" images.

Playful, slightly tipsy & finally home from a Halloween party.

Robin's set will be released in two weeks.

Two more renders for high supporters!
Last year, I said that sometimes I'll do one or two extra renders for the high supporters. There are two more intimate renders

There are a lot of haters here who don't think much of Ocean's work, but there's no denying that the themed renders are absolute awesomeness.
Without a doubt, my favourite is the first render.

Not only because of Sasha herself but also her environment in this render is great.

I looks like the aftermath on an incantation that went horribly wrong.

Well, I can't put a finger on it but somehow reminds me that scene of a movie.

Im the opposite, im not a hater at all (bmw guy would call me a fanboy) but i couldnt give less of a fuck about wallpapers (or bonus side stories).

Imo thats all just entirely useless timewaste, every non-canon render is wasted time, the only good thing about is that ocean maybe gets new experiences/creativity due to it.

I really dont get the obsession with bonus renders or side stories, there are enough pretty pictures on the internet. The stories, characters and choices is what makes avn's special not pretty pictures.

AVN developement speed is already slow as fuck even considering the fastest devs, i dont get why most of the good devs additionally waste time with lots of stuff like that but it seems like the demand is kinda there even tho i really dont get it.

I think wallpapers are a way to be connected with Patreons, like some type of reward while people wait for the chapter, like a way to give something while people wait, i don´t know if i´m explaining myself good because i´m sleepy.

But yeah, i´m with you, when devs make wallpapers i just see them i react to them with a emoji which defines how i feel, if i like, gets me horny or that stuff and i just leave them, i don´t use them for nothing.

But for some people could be important, i don´t know, like a way to stay in contact with the game or things like that, just imagine if Ocean doesn´t give people this wallpapers, sooo many months with just dev logs, some people will go crazy , but yes yes, i don´t use them so i don´t really care if there are or not, but it´s true that takes time to make them.

Edit: Those last wallpapers reminds me to girl from Eternum: Idriel (?)

probably because AVNs devs are creative people, special renders are a form of channel their creativity when the process of making the game is too boring, at least is my take on it. Also is a way of keep the community alive between updates and offer a treat to patreons, it may be "wasted" time but I think is a shallow way of seing things.

Yeah i get that but in this case the devs could just post (non-spoilery) previews of renders they are developing for the story anyway. But whatever

You are totally right. I, for myself, can't stand any kind of Christmas-, Halloween-, Easterupdate for any game. As you said, no main story progress and wasted dev time. I was always glad that Ocean has never done similar shit like this.

On the other side, Ocean estimated 6k-7k renders for SG alone and we still have no render count for WIAB, or I'm wrong?
Let's be generous and assume only 5k -6k renders for WIAB. That makes roughly 11k-13k renders in total. If we count the 4(?) themed sets, that are roughly 40-50 renders.

That's 0.31 - 0.39% of both games.

To be honest, I have doubt that this makes a real difference for the games, 3 days more or less are not the end of the world.

And we have to consider that Ocean always suck with his release dates.

Wow, wow, you're being too generous! Let's shrink this fish a bit, he wrote in one of the recent WiAB dev logs, he estimates WiAB Ch4 as 3000-3500 renders.

 

[LHDLLB]

Yeah, and Ocean estimations are about as precise as my blind uncle throwing darts. If he is aiming at 3500 renders chances are he will hit something between 4000/4500, not that I am complaining, the more Leia the better.

 

[AlexFXR]

Eternum, BaDIK, Artemis, Halfway House and Color of My Sound (Just to name a few) are a couple of VNs that deliver updates at the same pace as SG (and some even have less renders), but only Ocean is the scammer?

Why did you bring up the scam topic? And what does the speed of work have to do with it? We were actually talking about something else. If you're wondering why Ocean started being called a scammer, the first time it happened was a few years ago because of the situation with video cards. Although it doesn't matter anymore, because he gets caught lying every year, and it doesn't surprise anyone anymore.

You're in the right to criticize aspects you don't like about the game or things you think that could improve, I also do that and I don't always agree with Ocean and some of his artistic choices. But just accusing him and only him of something that many devs with good quality work do as well? You can't be serious.

Actually, I didn't criticize anyone just now. Are you saying that Ocean is doing the same as other developers?
OK.... Can you tell me which developers are deceiving people and extracting money from them? This will be very useful information for those who are going to donate.

I don't care much for wallpapers either, but let's be honest, the lighting and composition for those are top notch. they're absolutely gorgeous.

I imagine those wallpapers to be some kind of process to refertilize his creativity when he's bored. I can imagine working years upon years on a single project can make it pretty monotonous with its ups and downs in the creative process.

I don't think the wallpapers are only for patreons, it's for him too. to avoid creative burn out I guess. That's how I see it.

I don´t know what are you talking about...


Nah i´m being serious, even if it´s hard to believe i can´t jerk off just seeing renders, even animations, i need more than that

And i find more hot the version before the rework, old Nami was so fucking hot for me but after the rework she is just fine for me (still hot but not like the old Nami version), i think because of the censorship of some scenes and because when i played it i did it without the famous incest patch.

 

[Dr.TSoni]

i need more than that

It seems to help with these types of problems

Cannot agree more.

In my opinion, these bonus renders and pin-ups and whatever are nothing but a gimmick created to justify the active subscription model in the 2-11 months of the year where the dev doesn't put out an update. Fuck that! Wouldn't wipe my ass with any render no matter how good it is. My interest lies in the story and characters. Not renders, polls, devlogs (even those containing tax updates) or 10 second animation loops.

I'd rather sub to 10 devs once a year in the month their content is released than keep a 10 month sub to a single dev.

The exception would be if the dev were someone I know irl and really wanted to support. But I don't know any of those. No hate to anyone who wants to show extended support to a dev and enjoy the rewards, I just don't see the value in that.

 

[PaxHadrian17]

I enjoy the wallpapers and the few other 'in AVN' renders Ocean is currently sharing with us.

They are, for me, a reminder of how much I enjoy SG and the characters he has created.

I'm happy to support Ocean with a monthly subscription as well.

Ocean is a full-time developer and, setting aside monthly living expenses (which he can't - in RL), he needs to pay for electricity, software and hardware, freelancer support, music and more throughout the year, not just on the months when he releases an AVN update.

IF everyone took the attitude of supporting 98% of the devs they actually support with $ and giving the dev $ only on the month of a release, the market would adjust - and not in a kind way.

Most devs would be pushed to give monthly releases and story/continuity be damned.

So what if renders had to be redone or the story had to be reworked repeatedly (not for a Steam release either) since the 'new' paradigm would favor monthly output versus story quality and cohesiveness.

Work to create monthly content that did not end mid scene and maintained a cohesive story would actually Slow down overall development since any dev focused on a monthly delivery model would have to manage story delivery and scene/animation creation with that in mind.

I support a number of devs who produce content monthly and I rarely play each monthly update - no immersion - and I, for one, actually enjoy getting immersed in the story.

I'm looking forward to the first release of Summers Gone, Season 2.

Am I a big fan of waiting - of course not, but quality takes time, and Ocean has repeatedly delivered IMO.

While I wait - I have a backlog of other AVNs to play/get immersed in courtesy of F95, so I don't lack for things to do, outside of RL OC.

Cheers!!

As long as there weren't any weird glowing flowers, it's okay, man. It's just a regular wet dream we all have from time to time.
