Can you take a look at the bottom from this post at patreon if there is a zip file? If yes, tell me please, on SS there is no file but the same mention of the zip. If this is the case I will comment the post on SS to ask Ocean about it.4. Chapter 2 reworked previews & comparisons.

You are not alone there, just you know.I thought that too, but you can still see the renders of the old version in the latest update, and Vic's lips used to be thinner (with the corners of the lips naturally pointing up), and the tip of her nose looked more upturned.
Not gonna shit on Ocean's job, he still make the reworked renders and some model changes look stunning as fuck, but some models like old Vic and old Mila looked so different they made them stand out from the other girls, but that's just my opinion ofc.

Thank you mate!Yes there is a zip file on Patreon. Do you want it via PN?
No matter how much I make fun of him because of his rendering mistakes, I admit that he is growing as an artist and developer. There are errors on these previews, but they are so insignificant and barely noticeable that it's not even worth talking about.You must be registered to see the links
Hello,
So, the first Dev Log after the initial Beta release.
I suspect that I will need two Dev Logs to finish the first half of the Chapter 2 rework that comes with Chapter 4.5 full.
I estimate says around 700-800 renders for the first half of Chapter 2.
Current stand: 350/800 renders.
You can find some comparisons down below.
But first, there's quite a bit of stuff to talk about.
1. Changes to the Season counting.
I always said that SG will have three seasons with around 10 Chapters.
But from now on Chapter 1 to Chapter 5 will be Season 1.
This way SG will have around 5-6 Seasons a 5 Chapters.
Nothing changes besides the counting. (It helps with releasing the game on different platforms.)
2. Steam and Gog.
Talking about different platforms...
I'm currently waiting for Steam to finish their review of my shop page for Summer's Gone.
Soon you can wishlist SG Season 1 on Steam, which would be a big help!
While I was preparing my Steam page, I got contacted by an employee from Gog. They asked me if I want to put my games on their website. (I verified that he's an actual Gog employee.)
So, SG at least will be released on two big platforms in the near future. (Steam with Chapter 5. Gog might be sooner.)
3. Music Deal
I'm currently in contact with a big music site... And I'm not sure if it's actually going to work out. At first, it looked like it, but now I'm not so sure anymore.
It would cost me 8000€ annually and I would gain access to the entire library. (Up to 21000 songs.)
I'll keep you guys updated on that.
I'm actually thinking about hiring someone after my move to Berlin, who contacts artists, etc. for me to secure their licenses.
I find it really annoying to deal with.
4. Chapter 2 reworked previews & comparisons.
Let's get to the fun part. All images in high res are in the zip file attached below.
So, for those that are new here... I'm currently reworking Chapter 2 for the upcoming Steam release.
Chapter 1 was finished with Chapter 4's full release.

The big changes will occur in the college section. It's quite different now and has two intro routes. (Depends if you did go with Jeff to the gym.)
The first half of the rework ends after Bella's breakdown when Amber drives you back to your place.
People who have sent me a private message and are still waiting on their answer: I'm trying as hard as I can to get through all the messages. I won't copy & paste answers, so it takes time!
But I will get back to you!

I'm pretty sure Ocean hasn't switched to Blender yet, he may have created one or two renders/animations there but majority of stuff is still done in Daz.No matter how much I make fun of him because of his rendering mistakes, I admit that he is growing as an artist and developer. There are errors on these previews, but they are so insignificant and barely noticeable that it's not even worth talking about.
Apparently, the new chapters were made in a Blender. I don't like the Blender rendering engine, but it's very fast and simple.
I was diging through old dev logs, there and on Discord was stated that Blender only comes into service when Season 1 is finished. That means from the todays devlog view, we can expect Blender in the first update after SG was dropped on Steam/GoG.I'm pretty sure Ocean hasn't switched to Blender yet, he may have created one or two renders/animations there but majority of stuff is still done in Daz.
A few of the Aurora posts are blender renders, specifically Bella on her car. From what other people have said, Blender is a lot more manual in that you're hand crafting everything.
It is. I tried to learn Blender a couple of years or so ago for reasons not related to games/vns. I never could get good at it at all. I decided to try Daz this past spring. I will be releasing a game in January or February. As steep as the Daz learning curve is it is no where near as steep as Blender. Blender is WAY more versatile and powerful, there have been entire films make completely in Blender, but it is harder (to me). There's a reason most of the 3DCG games on here are Daz or HS2 etc and not Blender.A few of the Aurora posts are blender renders, specifically Bella on her car. From what other people have said, Blender is a lot more manual in that you're hand crafting everything.
Yeah, he's doing some single Blender renders to learn by doing if I recall Discord conversations right.Yeah, that's the one. I believe it's the first he's put out
