Dude I'm gonna make sure i don't finish the update too fast. I'll probably start again from the beginning and slowly inch towards the end because like it or not the next update is probably 2027 lol.
Well, I'm a simple guy. With each new SG update, I replay it from the very beginning, enjoying the renders and dialogues. The only thing I skip is the tabletop game, I can't stand it. And I don't see any point in thinking about the next update, the current one hasn't come out yet.

Hello,

Newly created and rendered scenes in the past 12 days:
461 images + 6 animations.
190 of them were for SG.

Current render count:

SG: 4790 -> 4980 (+190)

It's fewer renders than before, but that's simply because I'm working on a scene with 45 people in it. Immersion is important, so I do have to pose all visible characters every few renders.

I can render around 30 of these giant scenes a night.

I'm about to finish the rendering process for a different project. Afterward, I'll focus entirely on SG - S2 Chapter 1.

I've built a decently sized SFX and ambient sound/drone library. In my "free time," I'm also working on a simple ambient song.

My designer and I have come up with a fantastic idea for some in-game collectibles.

However, I already have so much to do that they must wait for Chapter 2.

The queue didn't run for two days because I had scenes with 34 visible people, which were too big for the A6000s.

It was the fault of a G9 character that, for some reason, used up 11GB alone. I had to re-open all of them and adjust the settings, but the queue is working again.

I took the 23rd partially off because we had elections in Germany.

Around 10 more days until SG gets 100% render priority.

Preview:
I thought I would just use a random number, and whatever it lands on, I'll show for a preview. 4K attached.
T - Alarm.

I was randomly listening to some older songs the other day, and Mazzy Star's - Fade into You came on, and it gave me the idea for a Treat set down the line.
It is a retro themed set, and because it would heavily rely on editing, I did a little test with Bellchen.

I'll prepare a small retro Treat for the release of Season 2 CH1. It will be released together with the Noji Treat.

Back to work.

OMG! Same!! Twinsies?!?! :LOL:
See? We can find common ground. We can hate on that tabletop sequence together.

How so? Even more common ground than Kaija's dick? :oops:

I mean, Nami with boobs and a few shots of girls in cool sci-fi outfits would be enough, no need to make a whole separate mini-story within the main plot. I vaguely remember that this thing was supposed to be used as an environment for lewd scenes that didn't fit into the main plot. (Although I guess fucking an ugly alien doesn't fit into any plot.) But with Ocean planning side stories, even that no longer seems like a good enough reason to have a board game with a separate story and hundreds of renders. :cautious:

Judging by the resting bitch face I'd say that's Miriam. I'd be more excited if it was Nora. Her I love but her sister is too much of an obnoxious bitch. They are stupid hot though. I wonder why she's hanging around seemingly naked o_O

I've said it before, I kinda like the tabletop idea. If done correctly I think it could be great. The problem was the implementation. It took place at a bad point in the story, it dragged on for too long and it was mostly pointless and bland. And I say this as someone who LOVES sci-fi. Especially space sci-fi!

The tabletop exists for there to be orgies in a non harem game. But the first one failed to have the lewd thing

I'm out of reactions, but you've nailed it. The tabletop exists almost solely for Nadia's devil cards, and Ocean wimped out. The farm scene with Nadia? I'm not sure I'll be old enough to play that gathering when it's in the game. It exists purely for going overboard where Nadia is the dungeon master ...well at least Nancy will be there :alien:

Oh, we'll definitely be enjoying some updates in March, just not sure about WiAB.

He's referring to the game that got it's page deleted by patreon of course. Not a third game. He can't refer to it for obvious reasons.
Damm, I seem to recall that event, but not the details involved. I think I remember the other active game (WiAB) he has got its Patreon taken down, but nothing else beyond that, it seems it was around April Fools as well. But I got this weird memory that it wasn't supposed to be 2 games, but more.

My brain might be fried cause of the incredible amount of chapters and seasons left, and the haunting feeling that we might not even be alive by the time this game is completed, so I might be confusing the amount of chapters left with the weird thought of believing that Ocean had in mind making more than 2 games.

Oh there are more games planned, I think it was going to be 5, but Ocean's currently thinking 4. I don't think he'll risk adding another until one of the current two are finished. Other that that, both games arehealthier than they were yesterday, so I'll take all the little wins I can :coffee::whistle:

Good BobTheDuck, thank you! Due to my condition, I can't recall things as well as before, so I honestly thought I was making that up, or somewhere along the line I switched timelines, and on this one, Season 2 hasn't been released either lmao.

I do have higher hopes than a year ago about the ending of the Oceanverse tho. His workstation has improved significantly, he learned, and improved, so things might not need as many "retouches" as past updates, and who knows, with pc-related items getting better, these projects got more chances to see the end than some of us initially thought otherwise long ago.

I think it's early to be optimistic about the gains of the work station - the truth is everyone spends up to their capacity in creative fields, it's hard not to. Currently the workstation can render faster than Ocean can pose scenes (except for the mammoth scenes he's now creative with over 30 characters). SO the limit now is how creative Ocean is, and how hocused he can be. THe technology will keep speeding up, but tht human limitations of having to think up the scenes are no going to remain the ceiling for the foreseeable future.

I know this is going to be a big update and all that, but going more than a year without any type of new content is crazy business. We are essentially right back to where we were 2-3 years ago.

I don´t like it but you are right... This new chapter could be the grave or the impulse for Ocean´s work. Anyway i still thinking he is going to achieve his goals, and if i´m not wrong he has always said this new chapter is going to be really good for people who expect lewd content for real (blowjob? Handjob? Thigh sex?).

We will see.

For now i choose to believe, but my wallet is worried :ROFLMAO:

Dev should take a course in scene rendering optimization because what tf would the reason be to have 34 characters on the screen at the same time in the same render?! And even if it was, I doubt more than 7 would be on focus while the rest can be rendered out of focus in the background or something, probably a club or sport match scene.
Not even AAA game devs fully render models when they are in a large number.
Now I understand why updates take more than a year to be done because the dev has no ability to optimize scenes and renders it seems. GG
