Is not a deal breaker for me, and in some people is really great, I just am not a fan overall. Seems childish and attention seeking for me. Other than that I think Katie would win, not by much, Bella is great with the green eyes and the blonde hair too. Would at least be a closer call.
Kate is a typo. This below is what a typo looks like - Mav, meet Ms Typo (can't spell her second name):
Why though? We KNOW Katie dyes her hair and that she's naturally a brunette. There's renders of her with her natural hair colour.
from what i see ocean like a lot of devs is counting on the loyal fans to continue to support him no matter what he does. and he is counting on that if he does lose some patreons it wount be enough to ruin him. some fans do not care how long it takes for a dev to put out updates they will ride or die for them ,the hope they have in these devs is amazing it's kinda like blind faith because you don't see anything but a few previews here or there and lots of excuses, i understand loving a game but when it comes to a point where it's months after months and even a year or so without anything then at what point do you see you are being played. you have newer devs putting out updates like crazy but these older devs that have been making these AVN's for years some how can't put out a update every 3 to 6 months because of reasons that we wount get into. but at what point do you blame the devs or the supporters because they allow these devs to act like this think about it, they are funding the long production time so they have no one to blame but themselves for a year of nothing , you put up with it and say nothing we don't keep these devs accountable so it's our faught, and at the end of the day it's your money so good for you if you like to support long productions times that takes a year and several months ,for me i like to support devs that are motivated and show drive to put out content on a regular basis.
To each their own, but Kate is absolutely gorgeous
:sigh: It's Katie. Also:
The white hair cheeto is most gorgeous character that Ocean created but alas she is not a LI.
the last thing for this game was back at may of 2024 and that was the steam release since then nothing and there is no telling when season 2 chapter 1 will come out your guess is as good as anyones else.
Ocean is one person, and yes, he's still working on this. Next Wednesday there should be a devlog with numbers so we can get an idea of how far there is to go. The next update is supposed to be around 6000-7000 renders, so it's a very large start to the next season. As to when it happens, we'll know as it gets closer. Ocean has been doing a devlog every two weeks, so you can keep you eye on the thread - there's a link to a list of the devlogs in the OP.
It's actually insane how things changed from when I first started playing AVN's about 6 years ago. Back then most games I played were being updated every 2-5 months. It was not at all uncommon to see a new 400-500 render update every 3 months. At that time a subscription model made sense.from what i see ocean like a lot of devs is counting on the loyal fans to continue to support him no matter what he does. and he is counting on that if he does lose some patreons it wount be enough to ruin him. some fans do not care how long it takes for a dev to put out updates they will ride or die for them ,the hope they have in these devs is amazing it's kinda like blind faith because you don't see anything but a few previews here or there and lots of excuses, i understand loving a game but when it comes to a point where it's months after months and even a year or so without anything then at what point do you see you are being played. you have newer devs putting out updates like crazy but these older devs that have been making these AVN's for years some how can't put out a update every 3 to 6 months because of reasons that we wount get into. but at what point do you blame the devs or the supporters because they allow these devs to act like this think about it, they are funding the long production time so they have no one to blame but themselves for a year of nothing , you put up with it and say nothing we don't keep these devs accountable so it's our faught, and at the end of the day it's your money so good for you if you like to support long productions times that takes a year and several months ,for me i like to support devs that are motivated and show drive to put out content on a regular basis.
100% this Nasc, I'm exactly the same in general.It's actually insane how things changed from when I first started playing AVN's about 6 years ago. Back then most games I played were being updated every 2-5 months. It was not at all uncommon to see a new 400-500 render update every 3 months. At that time a subscription model made sense.
Today most games I play get updated maybe every 8-12 months at best. And you'd think all of them would come out with 1k+ renders at least, no? Nope! Sometimes not even with devs who do it full time. Imagine subbing for an entire year for maybe an hour of underwhelming content that doesn't even feature your favorite LI.... Fucking lunacy.
I do my part as I've always done. All devs I want to support get my money on the month of release. That's it. It encourages them to put out faster and better updates. Instead of giving them a guaranteed source of income which encourages the opposite. Nothing is safe from Enshittification, not even AVN's
I routinely complain about how people drop $70 on new games instead of just waiting a bit. Then I discovered AVN land where it's suddenly okay to hand Ocean (or any other dev) $5, $10, or even more per month to get less playtime than something like Persona 5. I get that with Patreon/SS I'm not paying for a product, I'm supporting a developer, but it's still a weird disconnect.
I'll pay for AVNs that I like when a new update is released, but I only support a very few select devs on an ongoing basis. Also I'd rather buy the game on steam if available.
If it's a dev I like, I do low support (like minimum tier) until release month and then raise my support enough to get the release. If it's Steam available and fully completed, I'll grab it. I'm hesitant to buy VNs on Steam that aren't finished because they could just be abandoned. Main exceptions so far have been BaDIK and SG. I justify those by saying at least they finished their respective seasons.
