So, I played the beta and Im waiting for the full release before diving into specifics about the update

But one thing has to be said: Ocean really is one of the top devs around. Its unmatched how he always delivers both on the content and on the writing of his games (WIAB included of course ;))

One thing that always impresses me is how he incorporates every girl so organically in the story and how depending on your style of play and choices the interactions with each girl changes. For example, Bella can be an LI for some and an annoying bitch that you have to put up with to avenge and save Mila for others.

Also, I love the fact that there are no clear cut number of main LIs in this game and the fact that the MC can hang out with every girl if he so chooses. Other games just go the easy way: "dates and hang outs only for the 3-4 LIs and 1 selected side-girl, while the other girls are just casual sex "snacks" that you happen to find by "chance" ".

In this game, the MC could have or will have hang outs with more than 8 different girls... Are they LIs or friends? I dont know and it doesnt matter right now... It makes this game realistic, because IRL you dont hang out only with your Love Interests, you hang out with your friends too, and even if those hang outs are with LIs they dont all end in sex :ROFLMAO:.

For example, going to the movies doesnt imply a dick on the girls throat, or going to the gym doesnt imply a dick in the girls pussy while showering :ROFLMAO:.

Conclusion: Ocean is without a doubt one of the very best devs around :cool:

I searched Discord to list what Ocean said on the different girls so far: (main LI = romance + ending)
Bella: main LI
Nami: main LI
Mila: main LI
Victoria: main LI (and can be compatible with every other girl in the complex harem route)
Maja: main LI
Amber: main LI
Nadia: main LI
Sasha: main LI
Ayua: "can be romanced", sounds like main LI
Sonya: She "is on [Ocean]'s #1 place of girls". Not said exactly as "main LI" but very likely one
Nia: "there is a chance a (Not at first) main girl might get an ending because [Ocean] starts really liking her (Nia)"
Coach Hill: "bangable" but no ending nor romantic relationship
Nojiko: "not a confirmed LI", "not planned to have Nojiko as an LI with an ending" - something to reveal about her to explain it
Zara, Robin, Layla, Elsa, Karen, Marla, Nicole, Genevieve, etc: ??? (nothing mentioned) the main LI list is not necessarily over yet although Ocean has a limit, and we might be introduced to some more girls (like the women's first team for instance).

Zara could also be a LI. She seems as fierce judging by her demeanor during and after the basketball match. I think she's very pretty. :love:

Yeah she very well could be. Robin, Layla and Elsa also feel like potential LIs, and there could (and probably will) still be some other characters we haven't been introduced to yet (Nick's daughters in the next update? The women's first team? Others?).

Mr. Oceanlab, I just want to say that you are a TRUE artist with TASTE! I never did any post, but you compelled me to do it! I am just in love with the story, animation, characters, and everything else!

A Big Thanks for your effort and hard work!
Wish you all best for rest of the development!

Oh boy, this is going to get really complicated at some point in the game. So many LIs, some with different routes as well, some will be seemingly ok with sharing and there's a harem route as well? How? I have so many questions now lol.

It seems like Bella is going to go through some serious character arc if she will be ok with sharing the MC, not to mention there's also a Dom and Sub route with her as well. I'm not surprised about Nami and Victoria being ok with sharing though, it kinda fits their characters.

Ocean has always been opposed to a total harem, all girls at the same time, as he rightfully feels that it destroys a lot of character buildup and is unrealistic. But he said:
"SG will feature a harem route. But way more complex. Not every girl is cool with sharing and some girls that are, aren't compatible. (depends on choices too.)"
But mostly Ocean favors triangles so expect some variations of that.

That was my reaction too when I read he said Nami/Bella was compatible, I thought Bella would be one of those that are not okay with sharing. Obviously there'll be a lot of character development for her to be okay with that, or who knows, maybe that will be limited to her sub path for example? But Bella has had a lot of focus already and there's so much more content ahead, there is definitely enough time for a massive character development.

That's a ridiculous number of love interests if true. I love this game and would be sad to see it degenerate into a tasteless fuckfest like Treasure of Nadia. :( Maybe some of the love will be platonic. Christ! I would be mortified if when the MC regains his potency he casually marches around banging all of those lovely, complex and fascinating female characters, one after the other, like soulless pieces of warm meat for him to inject his joy juice into. What a waste and a letdown that would be.

Is that really the impression you're getting from the game? You won't be able to romance all those love interests in the same playthrough. You'll never get all the girls in a harem like in ToN. But you have options, and that's awesome because so many are interesting!

Yeah, I hate traditional harem games as well, they are just too unrealistic for my taste. So this is reassuring for sure. Throuples would definitely make more sense in this game and I can already see some of those possibilities forming in the current version.

True, I always forget that SG is supposed to have 20+ chapters. We are probably still in the intro phase even though it doesn't feel like that at all. Hopefully we'll get to see how this story ends.
