Oh Gawd no. Two games are the max I will ever do at the same time.

And when WiAB or SG finishes, I will not start the next one until the other one is done.

And with the move to Blender after Season 1, there is a realistic chance of me being able to hire a highly-skilled 3D artist to actually help me with the games.
Provided I can pay him.




Might be just half an update but that Mofo still has almost 1000 still renders + 2-3k animation frames. (And imo an increased quality.)

I probably should have made them even smaller.



WiAB and SG are having a race at the moment.

WiAB takes longer due to the lewd animations and my inexperience with them. (Lots of trial and error because I am pushing my personal limits.)

But whatever game finishes first, gets to be released first. The other game, even if finished, has to wait two weeks so that I have enough time for bug fixing the first one.





And yes, Mister Vakarian.

The last Dev log was the last one before the actual release.

man we are here for the stories! if the lewd animations are clunky who cares? AL has shitty sex scenes it was still a hit!

As for SG once you finish the 1st 4 chapters launch it on steam! that should net you some proper visibility and some needed resources!

Do as DPC did and reach out to people like MXR plays and others with huge audiences and if just 1% of their audience sees your work that is still 10.000 people paying you 20 bucks on steam(minus the Bethesda cut)!

i have many ideas but i keep it short, hope it helps!

please, do speak for yourself - for example, im very much interested in sex/fap scenes (animations or no animations), if those are bad, despite the game having top notch story, that wouldnt be my personal cup of cake. :BootyTime:

on the steam part, i agree, it would be a smart move surely to gather proper attention and resources.
CollegeKings is one of the latest examples i think.

That Frohn was pregnant right? I can't remember. I thought it might be Maja and Victoria's parents. They're dead, so this would be before that. Of course, that would place WIAB like 20 years before SG. Which, on the other hand, could explain the theory that Aya(shit... I forgot Bella's bff's name. is it Aya?) is related to Miru. Its been 20 years, people from her clan came over in WIAB and settled down, made an outpost in the US.

Could be. It occurred to me that the blonde Frohn in Leia's restaurant might have been Maja's (or maybe Victoria's) mother. OceanLab's VNs could very well be sequential on a timeline, with the saga stretching over many decades and carried forward from one generation to the next. :unsure: Never thought about Auya's place in the Zane Universe before but you could be right about some sort of connection existing between her and Miru. (Who like Summer herself seems to have disappeared from the scene hopefully temporarily.) I can't resist the temptation to run combinations and permutations as per the characters through my head even though I'm well aware I'm only blowing smoke. :geek:

then what are you doing here instead of being in WIAB thread?

as ocean admitted he is still learning and that is one steep learning curve that it will take plenty of time to adjust and get it right!

just played the last update of college kings and that thing is pure shit, the story is incoherent the drama is bad and not in "its so bad it gets good" kind of way! except for the girls being realistic bodywise its mainly just teasing!

do not get me wrong for what it is it still has potential to be great, i am just saying that at this moment it is far off from being good much less great!

I haven't really played WIAB yet, I'm waiting for the remade character models update; but even then I'm still on the crossroads about trying to check it out.

do not get me wrong, yet you got me wrong a bit.
regarding college kings i dint say it is great or anything (i have dropped playing it a while ago), yet that game is a great example of a good advertising and steam success (check the "age"/background and the number of patrons for example).

regarding oceans story driving games, if i would be for a quick fap i wouldnt be in WIAB either.
story is of importance, and SG is one of my fav early games for sure, yet if the sex scenes arent implemented well (and i dont care personally much about animations), what is the point in calling it adult/porn game at first place?
as an example of well implemented sex scenes, even without animations check Sins of Father, and as opposite example check Oath of Loyality.
and i do think still that oceans plans for his two games (30 chapters each) are a bit too ambitious.
yet perhaps this year already could tell if that goal is achievable or just a SF.

Oh, my animations are not clunky- they are butter smooth.

It's more about what is in those animations that challenges me. Pushing Daz to its limit. (And I love a challenge.)

I don't want to produce 30 frame loops and that's why my lewd animations are also like mini-cinematics.
The one in WiAB with Miru is made out of 19 separate animations- that include more advanced thingies like clothes that get stripped off, skin that reacts to touch, and in general a very cinematic ambiance.


The Steam release is planned but the game is not in a proper state to be released there yet. The plan is to release it there with Chapter 4.5.

I mean, lets face it. When you've got a cast like this (Bella, Victoria, Maja, Mila, Nami, Nadia, Sonya, Amber etc etc) how the bloody hell are you supposed to be able to choose coherently?

That's well and good



The majority seem to prefer great animations, me I don't even care if it's a PowerPoint slide animation or no animation at all; I'm here for the story lmao
