We can choose to believe that, but we all know the truth...
Do you read his Dev logs carefully? I won't sing my old song about post-processing being just a way to milk his Patreons. I did that before with all the examples. Now I will use only Ocean's words. He said that he does post-processing for 500 renders a day. Now remember how much time has passed since that log when Ocean said that Wiab was ready and only post-processing remained? If you multiply 500 by the number of days that have passed, it turns out that post-processing could have been done not only for Chapter 4 of Wiab, but for the entire season.
In 2024.
Even me, with my complete lack of imagination, can come up with several retcon explanations why Noji, Nami, and Nika live together without being related to each other. It may seem far-fetched or implausible to some, but then again, who cares. People are perfectly fine with Spiderman or House M.D., even though both are pure fiction that can’t stand any serious criticism. As long as people like the story and the characters, they’re willing to suspend their disbelief to the maximum.
My bad, nearly 8am and haven't slept.
"Adoption is a process whereby a person assumes the parenting of another, usually a child, from that person's biological or legal parent or parents."
More sleep, less zone
Good. Although it has nothing to do with Noji.
She agreed with their parents that she would look after the children while they're targeted by the cult. The parents were killed. She fled to another part of the country to save children. Since then they have lived with her.
Yup. Just what I said - now they're roommates, Noji is their landlady. "No funny business between roommates" is now only a Noji's weird rule. They'll bang, mkay?
Coincidence. Half of the Wollust are Zanes. A very common last name in that place.
I've been binging Yellowstone and 1883, so my sleep is all fucked up.More sleep, less zone
So the biological parents put their children into her care, to raise for in indeterminate period of time. Sounds like the definition of adoption to me. Maybe it wasn't done through the legal system, but it fits the definition to a T.
We know that they are no longer deemed step-siblings, but the story was conceptualised and released as them being that. No amount of obfuscation will change the fact that Nika and Nami were, by definition, adopted by Noji.
It probably is likely they were placed in Noji's care for their protection. With William likely being Nika's dad, the gangs likely started targeting people close to Leia because she started stepping on her business. We don't know yet why Nami, who is likely Daphne's daughter, was placed there too.
Wo Wo Wo. I have played the game a long time ago, and thought to myself to give it another playthrough before the next update is "probably" dropped in near future. So I decided to read some comments in the thread to see what's what. I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING ABOUT A CULT OR GANG BUSINESS OR NAMIS DAD??? What's that about?
The gang is briefly mentioned in SG, but they seem to be one of the main antagonists in the prequel game, Where it all Began.
Oh, I haven't played where it all began. Guess it's mandatory to play that for SG. Thanks
They are being developed concurrently, usually with alternating chapter releases. We are expecting a WiaB release in the next couple of months.
It's not. But it's in the same universe, WIAB is set 20 year-ish in the past of SG.
So every friend of a family who stays for a while with children while their parents are away adopts them? That doesn't work like this. Whatever it might look like - there is not a word about adoption anywhere in the game.
Nah, Nika being a Willie's or Leia's son is a red herring.
There is no obfuscation there is a change of the original story. There is no fact about the adoption in the game now. As well as Nika didn't put a gun to Marla's head. That didn't happen in the current game.
Speculation upon speculation. None of this was explicitly stated in the game. Sure, you can believe it, but don't be surprised if it turns out to be wrong.
It depends how long was that long time ago.
If the child is left with the friend, for an extended period of time (in the Cyrus' case, 15 years) with no financial support or communication with their child...
Wasn't SG announced as being in the "Zane-universe"? Wouldn't make sense for Ocean to reveal that, only for you not to be playing a Zane
As I've said, the fact that Noji took in two kids and raised them for fifteen years by herself, with no input from the parents cannot simply be waved away as "it's not adoption, because the script doesn't say it anymore".
I always just assumed Noji was their legal guardian, if you're not playing with the i-mod. Noji behaves like their parent because she functionally is one, but that doesn't necessitate her legally or biologically being so. MC and the Cheeto could just be her wards.
The whole reason "adoption" was removed from the script was there was to be no blood relation or legal relation between the three, as incest (even step-incest) breaks Patreon's ToS.
Oh. Didn't know even adopted-incest was against Patreon rules either. If thats the case, then yeah, legal guardian probably wouldn't work either. Its really just court-adoption after all.
If you mean renders, they're previews from the old dev logs. Just search this post for "Nami"
