It takes around 42 to 50 hours to render a 150-frame animation on my old Workstation. Keep in mind, these are now in 4k. My main PC could render them in like 20 hours, but I have heat issues in the old (new) place. It has no issue rendering stills, as there is enough downtime between renders for it to cool down.

By the way, is anyone confused by what's written here? People are starting to complain that Ocean is writing complete nonsense again. They say a video can't possibly take that long to render; it takes half a day at most. I don't know if this is true or not. But even I understood the second complaint. It says that Ocean used to spend 4 minutes per render, and a video has 150 frames, so it takes 600 minutes or 10 hours to render the entire video, not 50 hours as Ocean claims. To me, this sounds logical. They also say there are no issues with GPU heating. Those who do rendering undervolt their GPUs, and everyone knows it.
I made a small selection of complaints about Ocean's log.

Hello,

The log is a day late. I, for real thought it had only been a week and dev logs were next week. This gives you an idea of what a blur my days are.

I think posting the Halloween treat confused me.

#SG
I need to set up one more animation until I finish the biggest cinematic of the update. I setup like 18 animations in the past week or so. From these 18 animations, 11 are still in the queue waiting to be rendered.

It takes around 42 to 50 hours to render a 150-frame animation on my old Workstation. Keep in mind, these are now in 4k. My main PC could render them in like 20 hours, but I have heat issues in the old (new) place. It has no issue rendering stills, as there is enough downtime between renders for it to cool down.

I think the next 40 days will be spent rendering and setting up animations 24/7, while doing everything else during the animation downtimes.

The good thing that comes out of this... This update should have more animations than the entire first season including each and every single animation in the cinematics.

I don't count blinking or anything bibi like that as animations.

Now that I can more or less see the entirety of the big cinematic, I can say that from a technical standpoint, this is the most sophisticated cinematic I've ever done. All Daz, Marvelous Designer and Zbrush. I like it.

I talked about a third PC a few months ago, and it would really come in handy for the animations, but for obvious reasons that's now out of the question.

The two PCs I have will get it done. I think a third PC wouldn't really work anyway, because of the heat in this room. I can't leave the window fully open at night because of the rain.

#Steam
If you recall, in late August, I sent Steam a request to unlock my game in Germany. I have the USK rating and so on...

They wanted to review my game again, which I assume they did and it passed because the legal team contacted me. I sent them all the USK documents, and they... yeah, nothing.

I waited 21 days and wrote them again... Another 2 weeks passed, and another document from the USK arrived in which they detailed their decision. That one is a funny read.

It's the review panel discussing my game and its content.

The reason the USK didn't give SG S1 the 16+ rating:

"However, in the opinion of the review panel, the unrealistic gender stereotypes depicted, the sexualized role models with the always sexually willing and available female characters and the explicit thematization of sexual practices, which can convey false ideas of sexuality to minors, speak against a release for older adolescents from the age of 16."

But we knew SG was going to get the 18+ rating. Which isn't an issue. It's still allowed to be sold in Germany... if Steam would answer... They have been ignoring me for almost 2 months now.

Oh, and Patreon also never answered me. I'm kinda sick of these platforms, but creating my own isn't an option.

SG Previews. Booties
Some random booties from the update.

#WIAB
As I mentioned in the beginning, I thought I had another week. I will be publishing the Zoey & Katie CMSM treats in the upcoming days.

I realized doing at least 10 renders each would be too much. Each one would have a different environment.

That's too much work for one treat, I'll scale it down and make it 4 renders each. (2 cute, 2 slut) each.

I can create multiple CMSM Volumes over time, but I don't want t create 20 unique renders right now that have nothing to do with the main game.

I'd rather make it a small set, and get SG's update done faster so WiAB CH5 can get into development.

#Outro
Those who have been reading my logs for a long time know that I always get kind of depressed at the end of an update.

Don't be worried if I sound depressed over the next 50-60 days. This always happens at the end of an update... with the difference that this update is almost four times as big.

The reason I didn't want to release this update on anything but SS and Patreon was the additional workload it adds.

I knew I would benefit monetarily by immediately releasing on Steam and GOG, but I've invested about 5000 hours into this update, and the thought of having to do all the Steam/GOG prep again was/is overwhelming.

I made the healthy decision to release Season 2 on Steam/GOG at a later point. Which, as we now know, had to be reverted... unless I'd like to release an update of this size and commitment into the void, which I know most won't care about, but for me this is about survival.

Knowing that I have to go through that again so soon really tests my mental.

I'll get through this. It won't feel great. It won't be fun. But I'll give it my all.

Sorry for the vent, but venting here makes it feel a little lighter.

Anyway, don't be worried if you don't hear much from me on the socials, if the dev logs are a day late, or whatever else. I always feel like this during the release weeks.

I just know that releasing this update will feel amazing, and afterward... everything will look brighter.

It's a good update, at least IMO. Not for the people who think MC will go all the way.

I am glad Ocean was man enough to course correct and not allow his subs at SS to be shafted. Ocean has made quite a few bad decisions with SG S2 update but this was the right decision. It seems like a December release is now possible since animation are going well and even his big intro cinematic is almost done. Hopefully Ocean can get his shits together and future updates won't be as turmoches.

Thanks for the update, C.Mork.

"I think a third PC wouldn't really work anyway, because of the heat in this room. I can't leave the window fully open at night because of the rain."

All he has to do is get a mini split for his room. I see them all over Europe. That fixes his heating issue.

That USK committee sounds like they shouldn't be allowed to plan even their own lunch. What a bunch of dipshits.
