I like what Ocean has done so far with the rework. Some of it has lost it's charm from the original, such as the MC's first interaction with Mila. (I preferred the original where it was just the two of them sharing a cigarette and talking) and also it's feeling a lot more light hearted and less somber in tone than the original, but the writing is piecing things together far more competently now, and the relationships are being established a lot better too.

Can't argue with that, especially the scene of the conversation with Mila, I also liked it in the original. Maybe it's just me, but in the previous version, it looked like Mila was making fun of the MC when she talked about the suicide of someone she used to know. Like it was a continuation of the trench-coat joke. Now, as she tells this story, she looks very serious about MC's state of mind and sincerely offers to help, but it makes the overall scene a little darker.

I've tried so hard these past few weeks to hold off on playing the latest update. I've told myself numerous times that the final version is gonna release soon, just wait a few more weeks...but I finally caved. I've gotta tip my hat to Ocean, especially with the visuals. He continues to be one of, if not the best in this industry in terms of visuals. You can tell that he spends a lot of time finetuning a lot of these scenes. The story is moving along at a nice pace as well. We're finally getting some backstory regarding ZPR, as well as a short snippet into Mila and Bella's middle school years. Ocean is also keeping his word regarding what routes you can be on. It's a breath of fresh air knowing that you can't be a man-whore and will face consequences if you do decide to go that route. I am curious as to what the root cause of MC's panic attacks is and how important they will be moving forward. I just feel so happy and wholesome after playing this update (It helps that MC's one true love returns). My only gripe is that I don't know if I can mentally handle another Bella cliffhanger. There have been like three up to this point and each one of them hurts all the same. Outside of that, I can't wait to see how this story will unfold.

I'm a huge fan of Ocean's work, SG is the best thing on this whole website if you ask me, so I'd really like to support his work, however, I want to know there's going to be progress rather than endless reworks which is the only reason why I ended up supporting other developers in the past instead.

I'm also a huge fan of Ocean as well, but with this type of games who knows if the game will be fully released or abandoned. So, patron and subscribe star is a no-no for me. But I do believe ocean will fully release this game maybe not in a year maybe not in 2 most probably 3 maybe even more (which is understandable CGs in this game are leagues better than the 5-minute crafted CGs of others). Though I supported H-games by buying the steam releases, they are few and far in between. I hope ImproperTattoo's info about CH5 release on steam will be true then (I can't multi-quote and idk why).

BUT if you would like to support the dev now I gave him $10 in his itch.io page, just hit download and you can decide how much to give him. I do believe this game will be fully released it's not a question of if, but when (unless something major happens in his life moving to a new house, job change, significant other etc. thus giving money to Indie VN game makers is a gamble).

Thank you for all your replies, guys!

Warms my heart to see you can still ask a question and get genuine feedback.

I think it's fair to say we can be optimistic after everything that has been said and done.

I hope Steam/GOG releases will bring a significant financial boost to alleviate the stress and give them an opportunity to upgrade their workstations.

In the meantime, I think I'll start supporting them financially as well, but start small and then upgrade as the time and progress go by.

Ocean is really SUPER talented and people obviously see and recognize that fact, so as long as they keep delivering regularly I don't see why this wouldn't become a huge success.

On a whole other topic (please let me know if there's already an ongoing discussion for this or what not) - has there been any word on SG vs. WIAB prioritization?

I love both projects, but SG is my absolute favorite, so I'm a bit curious if Ocean mentioned anything on the topic.

Thanks again!

Cheers

Unless I'm out of the loop, which is completely possible, the plan is 50/50 SG and WiAB ; it helps Ocean with avoiding any burnout or being fed up with one of the games.

Yea I think the plan is 3-4 months update interval for both SG and WIAB. So I don't think one will be prioritized over the other going forward.
