Hello,

Quick Bibi Log about the recent state.

1. WiAB
WiAB has released on the 31st of October and is currently in the BETA. It will be out of BETA in around a week, and with that, also be available for the "Cross release" here. (10$+)
(Said WiAB update provides some interesting info for SG players.)

2. State of Chapter 4.5

Postwork status is at 1000/1500, so only a quarter is left. I will finish the postwork in the next three days.
The script is already back from the proofreader, and then only testing + polishing is left.

3. Status of Chapter 2 Rework

For those that are new here, in preparation for the Steam release, I've been reworking Chapter 1 & Chapter 2.
Chapter 1 was finished with the release of Chapter 4 full.
Now with Chapter 4.5's full, I will release the first part of the second Chapter. (The other half arrives with Chapter 5.)

In the past days, I had to do a lot of non-render work, but I hate it when my PCs aren't working at night.
So I started with the rendering process for the Chapter 2 Rework a few days ago.
Lemme show you some of the first comparisons.

Progress is really fast.

There's gonna be some IRL humps this month (I'm moving across the country), but Chapter 4.5 is going to release this month.

And if I can say one thing... I can't wait for Chapter 5.

Oh, Ocean. I love this game, but I gotta admit sometimes I had preferred the 'old' renders. In this case, I prefer the illumination and how different the Frohn's girl model looked before. Loved the old Mila and the old outfit Bella used to wear when you first see her.
But Ocean is a perfectionist, and when we are like that it's simply impossible for us to let things as they are: we are always overthinking and can't help but keep tweaking things to reach that perfection that will never come, cause our minds will eventually try to convince us to make another tweak again.
I hope Ocean is better than me in this regard, and is able to fight the urge to keep changing things and keep moving forward.

Interesting math.

To be fair there may be underlying differences with the percentage. I had this discussion on another game when people were complaining that progress was showing as 99% complete but release was weeks away because the remaining 1% was playtesting that was going to take time through all routes of that game.

If you think about unpacking a zipped file it often leaves bigger files until the end so even though it shows 90% complete it still has 40% of the time remaining. This could be the same it's 1000 out of the 1500 files but it's smaller files that's left so it's (for example) 1.5GB of the 2GB.

It's probably just a typo and he meant to write a third. I get your arguing but the "so" doesn't make sense then, he'd have to write something like "and that means".

This dude really knows how to tease us, the renders of the new chapter 2 looks great for me, and with that last comment I'm already wondering what would have the chapter 5. Wish him the best with all of his IRL things, hope all goes well for him.
