So ****ing cringe seeing all these people defending this game here like a cult. You have a right to like it, just like other people have a right to criticize. Problem with Oceanlab is that he's a dreamer, that is good for creativity, but there is a business side of it. If he's in it to just make a romance non adult game, he can. He can release it on steam and sell it for money. Ultimately this is a porn game because it's here and it's labelled as such.
You want to venture out to achieve your dream in telling a story, like Detroit Become Human? There is many other story games out there.
Honestly I didn't want to write anything initially because I don't support this game, haven't played it, haven' paid anything, so Oceanlab don't owe me shit, but this game has always been interesting enough to be on my radar. The development cycle is a joke, deadlines are a joke, and things are slower than any of the other top developers who also makes great stories. What makes it worse is that, he somehow then dedicate more time for his other "child" WIAB, that is less popular. Honestly, I get people support Oceanlab given the great art and how he tries to make cinematography (which is bizarre cause why are you making a porn game), but wow, if you still support him after 5 6 months worth of delay, I'm sorry, I feel bad for you, clearly you are not financially responsible.
If anyone is still reading, well, thank you for hearing my rant. I can no longer hold back, Oceanlab is just a terrible businessman, terrible manager of his otherwise great talent. Oceanlab himself will probably never see this, but if he does, here is my unsolicited advice:
Prioritize, is it story? is it cinema? is it music? is it character development? Is this adult content? Make up your ****ing mind. If you don't have a big enough following or budget, you can't achieve your dream of wanting to do everything you want to. If you want everything, run a better business, have a steadier development cycle, hire and manage your talent properly. WAKE UP.
