Is the patched version the intended story? I assumed so (I will always play through what the writer intended) but it doesn't allow the game to launch… so I'm thinking maybe it's not?

I've searched through the thread multiple times and I've seen people both say that it was intended to be played that way and not intended.

If you go back and find the Ch 2 compressed release which is still linked in the thread somewhere and worked when I downloaded it, you'll see Summer look like this: screenshot0002.png

And the variable set in Ch 2 when you are in the shared bathroom is "wingsister" instead of "wingnami" so you can draw your own conclusion about what relationship Nami and MC have based on that.

Oh man, that picture was from a version two felt lifetimes away. I still have the old version somewhere, it is like it was done by someone else.
Ocean sure improved - a lot. But even the first version was among my favorites back then.

He should write novels with it if he has good stories I'm sure if he got DPC like support he'll definitely hire people to work

More likely he'll first get the A6000s that will greatly reduce render times for both SG and WIAB and push out updates faster. Hiring people can only be expected after chapter 10 that is season 1 and second release on steam. That's when the support will skyrocket and switch to blender will happen hiring team uffff so many good things

Did I miss something? What's this about multiple seasons?

Has he promised faster updates, because I remember mentioning higher quality renders 'up to his standard' and longer animations? And every previous hardware upgrade he did, updates seem to come out slower and slower...so I don't know what kinda Copium supradose are you all taking. Switching software in the middle of development, so many red flags...

His plan of multiple games before fucking finishing one reminds me of the DCCU trying to emulate the MCU without first laying the foundations, I'll spare you the words that I want to use, keep it PC and say it has been proven again and again no to be the brightest idea.

Perfectionists need deadlines to function, otherwise they accomplish nothing. Too bad ICSTOR has thought the money grubby devs that they can get away it and thought the ones that actually care about developing games complacency(which is where I would place Ocean). Why would they ever stop over extending, reworking the reworks and start doing compromises when they know 80% of their income will stick around no matter what?!

I feel the software developer's vibe in this answer. They are (me included) always tend to underestimate the work and do not mind the possible obstacles. Let's hope he will be able to deliver it.
And what about this Zane Universe thing, what is it exactly? After the last chapter I have a strong feeling that there will be some sort of the supernatural theme in this game. I mean the Nami's half earring, mysterious woman who gave it to the Nami (and probably Sasha) in the past, this Vanessa who recognized it (and she looks kinda priestess of some cult).

The Zane Universe is the, lets call it "realm" where the games play. The MC of WIAB is called William Zane, his sisters are named Katie and Leia Zane. WIAB plays in a timeline before Summer's Gone - i asume twenty earlyer. But thats hard to estimate 'cause lack of valid/proof information. My guess of the twenty years is coming from a dialog shorty before the Basektball game in Chapter 3.5 :

"ay" is the line spoken from Auya.
That means there is a canon ending where the MC of WIAB stays with (most likely) Miru and have the offspring called Auya. If we consider now roughly the unknown age of Auya - i guess ~18 - and the possibilty that Miru(?) has not given birth to her when the game ends, we are safe to use 20 years timelapse between the two games.

Multiple game without finishing one? did you even saw the post ? the images at start before spoilers ?
All 5 stories are planned in the same universe and there are hints about them so obviously there's need to some planning beforehand.
he dreams big , I dream big too you dont?
You talked about MCU you must have understood what I want to say ?

he certainly tries his best and recently the result are kinda noticable
this chap 1 rework he created in a month . still why so late because of his PC taking time to render ,its difficult for DAZ to work with the amount of VRAM he currently have.
chapter 4 this beta did take long because of DND but now that it wont be comin in for a a good number of updates expect fast releases. I do , quite a lot of us do

changing software midway? nope he's currently learning the same and chap 10 end is still way long till that time there should be a good grip and a teammate too maybe

Zane universe in simple words like our universe he named his one as Zane universe in which all the 5 games/stories take place.
I only have 1 example right now if you know about MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe)
no supernatural thing , this arc is connected to his other game WIAB

Has the date with Mila happened? I am on the Bella path mostly, so I don't know if I missed it because of my choices?

Have you even played the last version till the end? Readed and understand the conversations? :lepew:

To awnser your question, even on the Bella path you went to the Dinner at Nics house, after this MC and Nami went to the Victorya/Mila date via bus.
