* All characters developed in this list pose no discrimination whatsoever and should be noted treated equality as such, whereas constructive discussion is fine. This list may be reserved for updates with changes and reassess until next chapter/final release.
** The characters that are mentioned next to description "?" it means is either in progress or not mentioned in the list is because I don't have enough judgement basis to make a decision on relationship constraint peer-view until revised. However there is an exception to it since sex isn't involved yet in this part of the chapters as story progress.
*** Additional there is currently two exempts from the list: Sonya, due personal reasons (not to worry, she will be in the list and also currently marked off-not enough reasonable to make a call yet **) and Summer, to respect MC' privacy as the wholesis protagonist.

"Claire (funny, goofy, psyhic trait, nice body - ?)
Definetly don't want to be checked by this nurse "

Man up, boy. This NURSE can check me anyday anywhere.

 

[Vixen ♀]

Oh no, don't you dare. I saw your Chasing Sunsets list. If you will put Bella/Mila/Sasha somewhere in the end, I swear I'll kill you

Ahah, no they're actually both are at the top
Had a bit of hiccup with attachments and resize them to fit into long table

Love Nami

 

[Razrback16]

Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.
So took your advice and played the WIAB reworked version first and enjoyed it a lot. Both story and graphics are incredible. Looking forward to what comes next.
Now downloading the SG...
But i think i will avoid the WIAB old version and stick to the new one, not that I think it would be of less quality but its just that i am not too fond of repeating same story/game ....
Again thanks for the help guys.

You will love SG and will be right here with the rest of us when you finish playing, waiting impatiently for the next chapter.

No problem, glad we could help you! Old "WIAB"´s graphics are not on the level of his new versions (exception chapters 5 and 6, which are nearly on the same level as new WIAB and SG), but still beat 90% of the DAZ-based games here. As for the story, there are differences, but follows the same general directions.

Miriam (Annoying, keeps toying with me, cute, funny and.. dumb fucker)

Nora is the airhead twin by the way not Miriam.

Nora is the airhead twin by the way not Miriam.

Rofl, thanks for noticing away, corrected now. My bad, I've might confused the twins
This is embarrassing..

Don't sweat it, they're basically the same model except for different eye color and earings.

Renders - 3/5

No problems with your review since most of it comes down to personal preference anyway but that point?
Personally I think at least the more recent renders or reworked ones are pretty much at the top of the scale for what's possible with DAZ. I mean, compared to other well loved entries in the AVN genre there are country miles between Oceans eye for composition, cinematic angles and lighting and the next game on the list.
Just in my opinion though, and everyone has one. Just like a butthole.

Wait, I didn't even notice it. I wonder how the game with 5/5 renders looks like in his opinion

Have to agree with you guys! Oceanlab is pretty much at the top of render quality among the erotic games sector. 3 out of 5 is a serious undervaluation of his graphics work.

Maybe it is simply not his style and he is more like

Probably he awaits a game made completely in Unreal 5 with their special character maker used?

It's not just the quality either.
I don't know of any other dev that would place and pose like 15 other characters just as a backdrop to make the scene look more realistic, and then have them move along independently as the conversation goes. If you ever wondered why (usually very busy) places look so sterile in other games, that's why. It's a shitload of work that often gets completely overlooked.

You are quite right on this, but I included the detail work in my quality remark. We can see this in many of the best games on site! The small (and sometimes large) details and micro gestures make a game better. See Pale Carnations with the small gestures and Maryland licence plates or WIAB/Summer´s gone with it´s detailed jewelry, gestures and background changes.

 

[DirtyMario]

Definitely.
That's also why I have real problems when people try to measure a games value, progress and content by numbers.
The "number of renders" doesn't really tell you anything because there is a massive difference in time and effort between setting up a scene

and setting up a scene

One scene looks "alive" and the other one does not.

Dude... It's really cruel not to show what 4/5 renders look like then. I don't even dare to ask for 5/5 because it can definitely blind mortals.

 

[yossa999]

What amazes me the most is how good the facial expressions of the characters are. It expresses various emotions and feelings with a simple movement of the eyebrow or a slight movement of the corner of the mouth. For example, Vanessa, after playing tennis, when the MC accused her of trying to fool him. One moment she's annoyed and stern, the next moment she's open and friendly, and all it took was a slight change in the angle of her shoulders and a little smile to show that she had been acting before and now she had cut the act.
In most games I've seen, this aspect is left out or exaggerated, making the characters look like clowns.

 

[Kassandara]

Agreed but I'm going to need a proof of this hole you speak of
