That's exactly why DIK is more complex than SG and WiAB, besides the freeroams there are the minigames and finally the various branches. I'm not telling Ocean to add freeroams and minigames, but I mean that even though Ocean has less work, he still manages to delay his games. :KEK:

BaDIK is more complex only programmatically. Scene set ups and lighting are much more simplistic, takes less time to set up each scene and likely less or no test renders of the same scene set up.
Which takes considerably less time than the complex scenes that Ocean creates.
Different categories of difficulty and time requirements.

Also, while BaDIK scene locations are already mostly found and used many times, Pinky has little need to find and set up new ones. Ocean is still looking for and setting up new locations for both of his games.

Well yeah. But if we're talking whether WiaB releasing in the next month or not, it was only the lewd animations left at this point. It's be interesting to see how all that plays out. Only reason WiaB... we all know SG's a longer wait still :HideThePain:

And the codes, I don't remember him mentioning that he finished writing and the codes, I'm still guessing June, do you know why? He's going to drag it out with Steam, it's going to take a long time to be approved, it's going to be that soap opera like SG.

As far at the post processing and coding goes, I guess we'll hear about that soon. Regarding steam for Wiab and SG S2Ch1 - it'll be easier because they're submitted as 18+. Ocean doesn't need to try and get them under any restrictions. SG should be easy, because they've already got SG Season 1, and it'll still be tamer than what 18+ regularly looks like. That'll be a shoe in. WiaB is also pretty tam currently - we'll see what kind of lewds are going to be in ch4, but I can't imagine there will be anything challenging for steam ...provided Ocean's learned from SG Season 1 anyway.

Before DIK was updated, I would have guessed WiAB in April... But the way things are going it should be in June.

And with all due respect to Ocean fans, DIK is much more complex to make than SG and WiAB.

Yeah but the dev is working at two games at the same time, it's not as complex as BaDIK because it doesn't have as many animations or sex animations or a sandbox mechanic but it's a lot of work regardless.

I prefered if he would have worked at one game at the time instead, it could have been much easier and less time consuming.

Unfortunately, Ocean doesn't do photorealism like all developers of similar games, so he doesn't have complex scenes.

Like I said...unrelatable. I'd keep a healthy distance from someone like her at all times. And my eyes would roll into my skull everytime I'd be within earshot of someone like her. I just can't take it.

I am curious how is Zara unbearable and Bella not ? Bella is a full out bitch, Zara made a dumb mistake and has apologise for it.

Man I've addressed this so many times. In short, to me, characters like Bella and Vanessa put up a bitchy front but immediately fold when called out. They are transparent that way. They are aware of the façade they put up. And what you see beyond that façade is pleasant to me. Gives a healthy and nice balance to the character.

Then there are characters like Zara and Nia. Damaged goods with so little self awareness. They aren't putting up a façade, they're just unbearable. To listen to. To watch. To be around. I just want out whenever they're on the screen. Zara's "competitiveness" drives me up a wall. Poorly handled mommy issues reeking of insecurity, manifesting themselves in the worst way...arrogance. I don't want to even play that game with her.

Trust me I'd be harder on Vic too if she hadn't had the accident. Too much sweetness and naiveté can become harder to stomach later on.

EDIT: To be clearer: what I despise most about Zara is the fact that all her sense of self worth seems to be tied to "winning". I can't take it. And I don't know how else to put this in a way anyone who likes her can understand my perspective.
