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'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.

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 no artist, and have no fucking clue about the differences when it comes to work with Blender compared to Daz3D but I assume there are many things done diffrent that must be learned. Let's hope this don't has a to huge impact on the developement times.

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.

As I said, I'm no artist this is all the same for me. Blender, Daz3D as long as there are coming good quality renders out of it and I'm well entertained it makes no diffrence to me. :)

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.

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.)
30 chapters total, so currently Oceans about 1/6 of the way to having the story completed. Even if Ocean takes 3 months per chapter (and that's being generous), that's 75 months; over 6 years until the story is complete.

It's crazy to see vns like WVM (Braindrop), Milfy City (ICSTOR), or Lust Theory (Inceton) having such a large amount of financial support compared to this masterpiece.

Ocean tells a fantastic story with exceptional renders, yet only has a fraction of the support compared to these larger devs (and imo produces SG and WiAB at a much higher quality than those VNs). I hope the Steam launch goes well and Ocean can hire some people to help him accelerate dev time per update. Could just be my impatience, but 6+ years until SG is finished is a looong time

Huh...while I do appreciate the sentiment, you have to accept that the number of people interested in "Blueballs: The Novel" is quite inferior to the number of people who love brainless fuckfests. If anything I'm surprised at the support Ocean manages to get and I think its a reflection of the quality of his work.

At least we are getting an update every 3-6 months now. The Type-Moon community had to wait more than 10 years for the Tsukihime remake, and all that time without any news. So I'm pretty happy the way things are going here.

The scene with Bella is a little longer now.
More Bella's content
I was replaying the game before this update and I saw for the first time that she's in the showers listening Nika saying "she isn't that bad" to Jeff, it's just a small thing but it put a smile on my face.
(so I missed this information twice, forgive me Bella)
