Appreciate the update, buddy!
And hey, busy is good when you're in sales, so I'm not going to complain too much
Sucks nothing changed though, I was really hoping things were gonna pick up, but eh, c'est la vie.
Maybe 2023's gonna be our year.
Thanks again.
Cheers
Within the time period of 3-4 weeks, Ocean will release CH 4.5 Full which will contain the first half of CH 2 reworked. Second half will have been done with Ch 5 Full. After this, no more reworks will come in place. Only new content with each following update.
Ch 5 is going on Steam, so we can expect a major bump in Ocean's level of financial support. Bad news is that next update will probably take a little longer, as it is said to be a big one. Moreover, Ocean intends to release WiAB Ch 3 first.
To sum it up, I'd not go under 6 months of development with my expectations, considering this update took about 3-4 months. Maybe I am being pessimistic though (I hope I am) and it will come out sooner. There is already a big improvement over the last year; Ocean managed to release 3 (!) updates in six months.
The future is uncertain... but I'd say it's leaning more towards the bright side at the moment. I'd suggest you to wait for Ch 5 and then support Ocean by buying the game on Steam if you want. I hope I at least partially answered your questions

Ocean has said updates for SG will be every 3-4 months going forward. Chapter 5 might be a little longer I guess though, as he's getting SG ready for Steam/GOG release but we can hope it will still be around 4 months. I was skeptical before subbing too like you, personally would like to see every 2-3 months for SG, but only if quality stays high and he doesn't burn himself out, wouldn't wanna see what I consider the best adult VN ruined with half assed or rushed story/cinematics/animations or other parts of the game either.

Hey, if you're wondering how things have changed, here's a brief retrospective from Ocean himself.

Is that Bella's and MC's legs at the end there? My monitor is crap, so it's hard to see.
Thank you.
Thank you.

You are not allowed to play this visual masterpiece with a crappy monitor. It's like going off-road with a lamborghini.

Sorry for the very late response, but yeah I am used to waiting when it comes to these things. It's definitely not easy, but hopefully the wait (and a wait it will definitely be) will be worth it.
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. especially with Nami. Nami feels far more like an actual sibling to the MC than she did in the original which I really like.
Be interesting to see how it all pans out, I am willing to wait. Got plenty others to play in the meantime
Hmmm, I think there is enough change in the writing to say he is rewriting it, at least partially. I played the original before any reworking was done several times, and there are a lot of major differences in this rework. The story is being presented far differently now, and even the school's setting is completely different. A lot has been added, altered, changed and even removed. Nice to hear that it's all going to be wrapped up with the rework in Chapter 5 though, the wait won't be too longWell the story doesn't really change, just some of the dialogue and renders. But the rework will be done with ch5 so you don't have to wait that long

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'll accept the shame. The visuals are so good. . .time to get a better monitor and start from the beginning!
Technically that's a Lamborghini by name only. Ferruccio Lamborghini sold off Trattori Lamborghini decades ago.
I offroad with Lambos all the time in Forza Horizon 5, and not only with the Urus

Well, pssssst ... Not everyone know that this Vehicles exists. Maybe they just never played Forza Horizon.

Damn what a blast, and here I thought Eternum will stay unbeaten on top
Keep up the good shit dev!
I hope the game wont end anytime soon
Keep up the good shit dev!
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
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
Hey guys cheers and huge congratulations to the author on 4.5 so fast!
Is there an android mod already except for the one above? Cuz I don't know who's the poster or the blackeye and i'm not sure it'll be compatible with my previous saves ehh
