How is going the next update be storyless if he is making around 8000 renders? I mean, it's impossible

5000 high quality wallpapers for phones + bonus pack. Will remain a couple of thousand renders for 30 minutes of play (a couple of dialogues, one day in the gym).
It couldn't be simpler. Years of training.

Naaaah, I don't think so. For now I don't see Ocean as a short updates guy. At least he has to add some progression in the story. I think the new chapter will be at least some hours of gameplay (playing it slow, taking your time like i always do) and with some progression, maybe with focus on Zara's family?

Anyway, those 8000 renders or so... Are going to be just one chapter or he plans to split them in to multiples chapters? Because is almost like four chapters at once.

If this is one chapter, then either it should take at least 3 hours, even through the skip button, or it is a creative cancer. This amount of content can be produced for several years only if you simultaneously work two shifts at the factory.
And somehow I doubt that in this one chapter there will be a Telltale level plot.

We have an example of WiAB, where he dumped an update with slurry, in which most of the development time was obviously consumed by an absolutely useless cinematic-slideshow.
Oh yes. For some reason, he also tries to play two games at the same time.
I stopped believing in miracles. The worst representatives of our mini-industry roll out small updates at least once every six months. With blatant teasing. Ocean just feeds walls of text and wallpaper for phones for Halloween. For years.

Ocean wrote that he wants to sell Season 2 on Steam with a 16+ rating. This means there will be no sex scenes in the game. As we all know, this game is about healing, but since there is no sex in the game, it means that the MC has not been cured of impotence. Without it, we can't start a relationship with any of the characters, so the plot won't progress. It turns out we'll be treated to something like a board game with a bunch of meaningless dialogue, like in Chapter 4. Or we'll be met with a bunch of new characters who, moreover, aren't LI, like in Chapter 5. Or maybe we'll get both.

By the way, starting with the Board Game and ending with the Book Club, these are three chapters with probably over 6,000 renders, but we get nothing but a bunch of boring chatter that has no impact.

Already mentioned in a devlog it's now S2 Ch1-3, since the early access changing on Steam.

You're right about progression, but never underestimate how fast someone can play an update if they ignore the words with the power of the cntrl key.

Storywise, based on renders we've seen, I expect:
- finding out a lot more about Sasha. THere's a bunch of renders showing her seemingly involved with the staff at the uni, as well as her modelling/art project.
- Sonya's wrestling with Ayua and the Ayua spa scene suggest we'll find out more about the Zanes.
- We'll find out who mystery/stalker cheeto is, more than one scene with her.
- THere's a Maja scene, and we've seen Vic's therapist, so Nika goes along to some of VIc's therapy. But I think we'll find more out about the Frohn's, and Maja's new role as a coach at ZPR.
- We'll find out if that other older woman is Marla's sister or something, as well as find out more about why Nika freaks her out but Vic doesn't.
- The whole Benz family dynamic.
- The prospective student house and the fourth person.
- bath tub scene with Nami to make up for the one we lost in S1 - so a development of their relationship.
- THere's a bunch Nia and Kate interactions.

And I'm forgetting things I've noticed. There will be plenty for me.

I want to know what happened with the aliens, and Ayua to teach me the lessons in naked martial arts.

All you do is watch porn.

Are you on a porn site for something else?

Give him the "developer of the year" award. Apparently he doesn’t know how many AVN novels with explicit porn there are and remain on Steam. It is enough to simply avoid certain triggers and add the ability to rename social and family roles to the game. Well, remove (or greatly hide) any violence or drugs, which, in my opinion, is not necessary at all.

I think we all understand why he talks this nonsense.

If porno is what matters to me, I wouldn’t be playing this game... lolz

Now he calls it Chapters 1-3

So I haven't played this game in quite a long time. Did he add any sex scenes in the game? I mean, I really like the story and it's also one of the few games where I really like the MC and his pairing with Bella was the best. The music was top tier too. Thinking of revisiting the game again with some H scenes
