You're not the first one to say this bs and won't be last. but ever since people kept saying he will lose fans because of his update times, he only kept on growing and getting more ♂I am not here to speed Oceanlab along as I do not sub (when the minimum to get a VN is above the $5 for the majority I always pass)
But if he does not release in roughly 3 month intervals, CONSISTENTLY, more than half of his fans will die before this is done. Assuming the 30 chapters is still the goal.
You missed the point. I said right there at the beginning "I am not here to speed..."You're not the first one to say this bs and won't be last. but ever since people kept saying he will lose fans because of his update times, he only kept on growing and getting more ♂
So what statistics do you have to support your assertion that a lot of the fans are "old ass farts"? Or is this another case of a hater too clever by half and pulling out a wholly unsupported and wildly idiotic assertion out of his old farting ass?You missed the point. I said right there at the beginning "I am not here to speed..."
But 30 chapters with 1/2 chapters being made is 60 updates/releases
We have what amounts to 9 done so 51 remaining
51/4 is only about 12-13 years (Long ass time in VN land) but mostly I was saying a lot of the fans are old ass farts who would be dead by then
I never said he will lose fans from anything other than death
Depending on your age it may be 50/50 that you are dead by then
It may be worse

WOW Cabin Fever You guys are pretty psycho
I literally spelled it out for Voez1999 I am numerically talking about people dying from the waitand assuming the releases come 3 months apart (which would be lightning fast
) not anything about taking forever. Obviously I am being facetious.
But man oh man I did not expect the degree to which it would over the heads of the bibi's

The writing, especially of the cast, has much improved. All characters act way more plausible than before without going over the top. Everything is way more subtle now and not that "hard ass psycho with a sledgehammer in your face"-shit anymore. As you wrote, the MC is damaged not psychopatic (even if he got into a lot of fights before closing to the world) and that shows way better now. Also I like the new humor, it's way over the usual slapstick you see in most other VNs. Like the Bellas sandwich scene in the reworked chapter 1.Wow I haven't played this since chapter 2 and I really disliked it at the time but the game has certainly gotten a lot better. I know Ocean said he has abandoned a lot of the darker elements of the game and I think that was 100% for the better. I still think the thing in the start with MC and the gun is really awkward and stands out but now the MC comes across as damaged rather than psychotic. Bella seems less psychotic and bitchy I wonder if I remember it differently or if he changed it
I think the scope of the planned number of "main" love interests is going to get overwhleming and might dilute some of them.
Ocean doesn't give expected dates for releases Since that can vary due to size of the renders and the complexity of it
1 scene can render in 1 hour while an other can take 24
And he is working on 2 games at time.
His render time went down as he bought rtx 3090's
* Chapter 3 to chapter 3.5 took a little more then 9 months
* chapter 3.5 to chapter 4 took 5 months
* Chapter 4 to chapter 4.5 took in 3 months
Your last thought is one of few things that has me a little worried too. I fear the diluting of characters too, especially the routes we already have, which have already established connections and emotions, have already built up their own fan bases, I worry Ocean will be trying to do too much, adding too much to his plate, with too many LI's and that might take away from each character if too many are tried to be rotated with chapter/update. I think what is planned is around 10-12 main LI's but I could be wrong, could possibly become too much for eager fans and also the Dev, trying to rotate that many LI's with each update certainly has the potential to become a problem but we'll see.Wow I haven't played this since chapter 2 and I really disliked it at the time but the game has certainly gotten a lot better.

In addition to what you have just mentioned in terms of mental and physical stress, there is also a very massive point:When Chapter 3 came, which took pretty much exactly one year, I was about to burn out because I underestimated the impact development has on your life. I worked 12-14h a day on the game but produced much less than I do nowadays.
My mindset was lacking.
I hope this question isn't too personal, if it is, just say so and I'm done with it:And the big difference between 2020/2021 is that I feel absolutely amazing. There's no sign of even the slightest hint of burnout.
Meanwhile, in 2021's Chapter 3, I was about to fail.
Every single aspect from personal health to development speed and quality has improved significantly.
I like that scene, personally - even more so because of the hospital visit followup. Being able to make the dark joke about being there to "finish the job" made me laugh out loud. Obviously not the best answer if you like Maja, but totally worth it.I still think the thing in the start with MC and the gun is really awkward and stands out but now the MC comes across as damaged rather than psychotic.
Yes, this one and the dolphin joke are also totaly worth a negative RP, but it seems that the last one was too cruel for a highly moral patreon.I like that scene, personally - even more so because of the hospital visit followup.

What's going on?Chapter 3 to Chapter 3.5 took as you said, a little more than 9 months. (1400 still renders)
Totally agree with you, I'm nearly 43 and I know I have plenty of distractions while Ocean works his magic, updates will happen whenever they do, and I'll still be happy to play them. And I'll keep supporting him on patreon in the meanwhile, cause it's possible for me, so I don't mind one bit.Maybe you just have the wrong mindset.
I am 50 and not in the best health, so maybe I am one of those that never sees the end.
Who cares?
1. I enjoy the ride.
2. If I kick the bucket before the end, I won't care anymore.
It's not like if there is an afterlife I sit on cloud nine, or more likely sulphur island in a big lava sea nine and think "damn I really wished I had seen the end of SG before coming here".
