The story is linear for now and even then he only manages to release one update per year.

Imagine having multiple paths and variables.
Updates will take forever and/or there will be very little story progression in an update.

This is the part that is hard for me to grasp too. Yeah, he's had a long dev cycle because of this reason or that reason but even if things got 100% streamlined and he could just focus on SG (even throwing WiaB to the wind, in a hypothetical), it's still gonna be a longer dev cycle than usual once routes start to really develop. The only way I see it happening different is if the updates themselves became smaller but I don't see that happening either.

Or simply the story wont be as brached. S1 has many variable of scenes, same of for WiaB, sometimes they get longer or shorter depending on the route and dialogue change too. I guess that the story just won't be as branched as he may seen to be or that the branches themselves are more flavored. I don't know. I feel that it has enough branch in S1 if you go for all girls versus persuing only one, even though it may not feel like it, Ocean add one or three renders to extented the scene just enough or something like that.

Ideally? Sure. I'd want less branches and less possible routes. If it means I have to give up a LI here and there, so be it.

This is Ocean though. When have things ever went ideally? I think the bigger problem is we haven't seen consistent Ocean yet to know what to expect. Unless you count all the chaos as consistent, I suppose.

Ocean already stated multiple time this is not a "dating sim". Meaning not all girls will have constant screentime even if you date them. For example, you date Bella or Zara, they might have minimum screen time for a chapter or two BECAUSE the story is currently focusing on something else.
So the number of path shouldn't be a problem.

For those of us on Steam, Ocean released a minor update to Season 1 yesterday that includes Russian and Spanish translations of the game. Can't comment on the quality of those, but one thing's for sure, the English script took a serious hit in quality, as it seems to me he didn't build this revision from his latest project files: there are literally dozens of typos and grammar mistakes that have been reintroduced (or introduced) with this update, as if we were back in the beta days. There was also one render updated...but the updated render has clipping. The original one was perfectly fine and didn't need updating. Oh well, typical Ocean...

I've reported these problems to Ocean.
At first he would tell me that this new Steam build "wasn't built with the previous version as I wasn't able to locate it anymore. It's now the same as the Patreon version, but that one should've been the latest version iirc".
Then also saying that he couldn't find a different and wrong ee219 render (the one I posted here), and that all of those typos had to have been there before.

Then I presented the evidence to him, script comparison from before and after the update, the render in question, etc...and he's now looking into it...

It will probaly be in the 2030's when we see the end of Season 2 so think about how old you will be then and how old you was when you first found this AVN and how old you will be when you see Chapter 1 of Season 3.;):p:LOL:

Well, taking into account the calculations and the time it took to complete season 1 plus the remakes, we can safely say that we will have the complete season 2 in 5 years or more, depending on whether there is another remake.:BootyTime:
