I don't. I bought both of his game on Steam and I did it out of complete conviction. However, I'm not blind to the facts. The stories are both (so far) mediocre at best, and the characters are not well developed. The characters' appearance in particular is, well, boring. Just look at the women in the games. With breasts and butts of those dimensions, real women would have extreme back problems. They only look “normal” in the game because Ocean is a damn good graphic designer and manages to make unnatural things appear normal. Or look at William in WiaB. Such an ugly, pumped-up steroid boy instantly makes 95% of women as dry as the Sahara. ...and come on, cats with laser eyes? All that “Bibi” bullshit. Ocean makes great graphics, and that's why I play his stuff. He knows how to pose and render beautiful images. But let's stop pretending it's more than that, because it's not.

Well I can agree that the story is nothing out of the extraordinary but I can't agree with the rest. The characters are all very well developed for the time they got, even one as Sasha who has less time on the screen is well developed, same goes for all the LIs and even some of the thirdary character as Bimbo. Ocean has both talents as a writter and a artist that sometimes with just one render he can developed some paths - Nami in Ch5- and with just a few give you a whole new perpective on a character -Nia Ch5. I just don't see the point about the bodies shapes, with all honesty, is not like people like Mila don't exist, really see Mila in Ch5 and say that is a Impossible body, it ain't. He has some trully awful render though - Vic tits in Ch4.5- and is very inconsistent in how he presents the characters but they are not impossible body sizes. Fot the cat I really can't see your point, I would not even call it imerssion breaking is just a joke. William body is a character point, have you played Ch4 yet ? As for the Bibi I also don't get the hate, is a made up work used in contextl, it is supposed to be a bit cringe.

Yeah, I really surprised how he managed to make his characters so vibrant and alive. I haven't seen anything like it in probably half a hunderd college setting games that I could endure more than a couple of minutes after start. And the characters truly have completely different personalities, which are evident in literally everything: their manner of speech, their gestures, their emotions.

You don't even need to look at the preview from the previous dev log to easily identify that the picture where one of the characters is hugging a stranger girl's shoulder with a mischievous and slightly retarded grin is Nami. And the frowning, tense girl, glaring at someone in the distance - that's Sasha. Absolute cinema.

Haven't checked for awhile but how long ago was their patreon for SG removed? Just went to see when the last devlog was and saw it was gone. I know the WiAB one got shut down a long time ago. Or is it a wrong link in the OP.

Just checked. Well… I guess it’s over. :BootyTime: That’s really hurtful to see.

Sadly, it doesn't even say it's under review. Just straight up removed. So it probably cancelled any subscriptions and people would have to resub should he get the page back. That's gonna be a big hit by itself it if comes to that.

Looks like Patreon itself may be having some issues according to the Patreon subreddit.

Mine changed to spanish, but I just deleted the cookies for patreon and fixed it. Other than that i haven't noticed anything.
