I agree with you with what you wrote earlier that the potential scenario in which she appears unexpectedly and causes drama reeks of cheapness, therefore in the case in which it turns out to be an inevitable element of the main plot, I would prefer that this confrontation would come from our initiative as a result of an investigation conducted effectively by us, and it is hard for me to find any other logical justification for the scenario to be the opposite. Let's think if she is somewhere there, she is an adult and considering her rather rebellious nature, what are the reasons for her not initiating the meeting with us first, other than the fact that she herself cannot, for various reasons such as disability, blackmail, was lied to by someone or because of some facts that Nika don't remembers due to trauma, because of which she does not want to deal with him herself. In the case when she finds us, it is difficult to do without some cheap explanations like Nika I saw you on TV and I had to see youI fully agree with you, ideally, this is what would happen. But I fear that even if this was something that Ocean wanted to do - and I don't think it is- the cost of realizing it would render it impossible. Every split means more render, more dev time, more resources. I am not saying that Ocean should do what I think is best, he should always do what he think is best. Maybe I will be proved wrong and having Summer disappearance being a plot point is gonna be excellent, maybe it is related to WiaB and that also will be a incredible plot twist. Just that we all have expectations while reading a story, and at the moment, mines are those.
Why would you think that? He just mentioned in WiaB's devlog he still has scenes left to render.I think ocean finally upload the WIAB season 1 final . Can't wait him to share it public![]()
Miss Marla. That's the teacher in the accident right?Well, to be fair that seems like the current plan - to buy a duplicate rig that means he can churn through electricity mining the renders. Currently his limit to rendering is not the speed of the rig, but that he has to stop rendering to work on scenes. Having multiple rigs with duplicate assets is a great plan, which (based on the tax dramas we've been bored by in past devlogs) is likely to happen once he's dealt with his provisional tax and ensured he meets his obligations. So you're right. But, consider that he's making an update that has 2/3 of the number of renders of Season one in less than a third of the time it took to make season 1. Despite us feeling like it's forever between updates, this is the fastest he's ever worked. The proof will be once he drops the update though, no point counting it until then.
So is the implication two Marlas?
...and for the cheesy comment, Summer might be gone, but damn it's hot wherever Wollust is, they all dress like it's permanent summer. Ocean missed the opportunity to make it permanent autumn
ANd thank you again for sharing the devlog with us F.L.HX99X it's always very appreciated!
Yep, Stephanie is her first name. I'm wondering is the other one in the middle is her sister.Miss Marla. That's the teacher in the accident right?
Are we talking classic charlies angels or movie charlies angels ?Only problem thing with Sasha being Nika's guardian angel and knowing everything, is that she recognises Nami's earring, and as a Petrova, she knows whose earrings they were originally (as she has one) ...but she has no knowledge of Nami having a connection and it puzzles her. I'd find it hard to believe she knows Nika's medical history, but doesn't know about Nami's earring (most likely, she carries them for Robin or herself - the time she calms Robin down in the locker room suggests they're not all that stable). The thing about knowing Nika from before, well there's plenty of indications - the way Nika almost recognises something about her, the way she cryptically says maybe he dis deserve it, the way she cryptically says she'd rather not say if she's trying to kill him... my guess is Sasha's popularity is partially because of her mystery and always seeming to be in the background. The charlie's angels vibe when she's walking with her posse is a cute touch though.
knowing ocean...it'll be his Tenant, lolThat's probably because of the reworks too.
Or nephew.
Quoting past me, I'm at least consistent some of the timeAre we talking classic charlies angels or movie charlies angels ?
i'm very sorry , i misread the post in subscribtar XDWhy would you think that? He just mentioned in WiaB's devlog he still has scenes left to render.
It sounds like some anime ocean would have totally watched though, lolQuoting past me, I'm at least consistent some of the time
Regards Nephew Nika, we know an *uncle* (what even is an *uncle* anyway? A codename for landlord that actually doesn't own a house maybe?) taught him basketball. But maybe that's how Noji introduced all Emilia's male friends when she was visitingIt'd be weird for an uncle to teach him basketball but leave leave their nephew to be raised by a stranger.
Wife,.maybe ?Yep, Stephanie is her first name. I'm wondering is the other one in the middle is her sister.
Oh I agree of summer coming back is canon is much better if she comes back by Nika than showing up one day out of the blue. It is 10 times better. Still.I would prefer that Summer reminded only on the past, but this is one of the best ways to do it. Would be interesting see how different girls react to it as well, Nami would be furious I am sure while Vic could be more supportative and other be neutral.I agree with you with what you wrote earlier that the potential scenario in which she appears unexpectedly and causes drama reeks of cheapness, therefore in the case in which it turns out to be an inevitable element of the main plot, I would prefer that this confrontation would come from our initiative as a result of an investigation conducted effectively by us, and it is hard for me to find any other logical justification for the scenario to be the opposite.

Anything is possible, but considering Stephanie is going to Amber to get help with self confidence for dating (among other things) and Claire's bingo card, my guess is that she's alone at the moment. I am also wondering if she has a connection to Nika from before - that moment when she wants to do shared therapy with Nika is very different from her meeting with Vic after class, the way she stress smokes after seeing him, again not like her response to Vic. You'd think hitting a person with a car would be the trauma that needs to be resolved, not therapy with a bystander. She might as well ask the police for shared therapy. When she mentions that NIka's part of her problem, I can only see that she either knew NIka's parents, or she knew Summer even if Nika doesn't know her.Wife,.maybe ?
Yeah, Marla does seems to be alone and trying to get her game up back on. Maybe the other woman is her ex-wife ? I don't know, but this was the first thing that I thought when I saw the render. Sister is just as, if not more, likely.Anything is possible, but considering Stephanie is going to Amber to get help with self confidence for dating (among other things) and Claire's bingo card, my guess is that she's alone at the moment.

It could easily be Summer was her niece. That's just a wild stab, but the way she sdjusts her clothing when rescuing NIka, the therapy, the phonecall where AMber says she's got someone in mind for her, and the dress looks wonderful - all that suggests if she's married, she's separated.
Ocean didn't remove the gun from the story entirely?About the shared therapy I have thought the same, and then I thought that could be a plot line of when we had the gun incident. Trying to kill Marla had to pay off at some point.
Nah, he just leav them to be handled by the proper criminals. Nika's not chad enough to touch guns while he's still spaghetti. We already know Bella will run over anyone standing in her way, might as well let her look after the Weapons of Marla DestructionOcean didn't remove the gun from the story entirely?
Yes, but maybe some stuff still is in it ? The story was wrote with it in mind and this could be the original reason why Marla wanted the shared therapy and now we will have a new one. Maybe not, is just a thoughtOcean didn't remove the gun from the story entirely?
