That is why SG is planned to have 30+ episodes. The dev can distribute the screen time appropriately. For me, the biggest concern is when the branching widens and so many variables come at once to play, it can get hectic with the coding. Our Red String is suffering with branching at the moment. I hope Ocean can keep this in check.
Considering it only airs one full episode a year, it seems unrealistic to expect +30 episodes. Ocean should reduce the LIs to less than 10. I think this is something that needs to be planned very well, because there could be a lot of unforeseen problems.
The delay was because of the reworks for two ongoing games (WIAB and SG). Ocean himself said in one of his dev logs that this will be the last rework and will dedicate his time to completing the game. We can expect a bit faster updates. As for the future, who knows what will happen? For now, we have to put some faith in Ocean and let him do his magic.
It's not unrealistic, but ambitious. If Ocean continues at the same speed as he is currently, the game will fall behind. Realistically, rendering speed will improve each year as software optimisations occur and he starts developing in blender etc. We don't know how much time OCean spends learning blender while posing and rendering in Daz. Having two rigs allows him to experiment while one machine is rendering. I'd hazard a guess that he is already working on parts than interest him in future chapters, just to visualise things, forward planning.
If tech stuff triples the output speed I'll be just 75 for the final chapter.
I fully expect a debrief from you after the final installment
No, that would be like holding a poll on the content. Ocean has already written the content. This means that each LI will have their own unique story that is relevantregardless of screen time. For example, Zara will likely support NIka's matches and show up, maybe get overcompetitive and her dealling with her competitive streak might be part of their romance. I can't imagine Sonya will be allowed to watch games outside of school hours considering how controlling her family is. And if you go milf routes, can you imagine Amber or Stefanie going to games and cheering? Those paths are likely to be clandestine, with all the secrecy they can manage.
OK!I fully expect a debrief from you after the final installment
I think that´s a part of the experience, a lot of LI´s with a lot of differents personalities and storys... Yes, Ocean should improve the releases, for example hiring employees,but i don´t know how much money he obtains with this so maybe this isn´t possible
. I don´t know but what i do know is that nothing is impossible and Ocean knows very well what he is doing.
He's already had that happen a couple of times, but luckily nothing major, mainly people who didn't follow through or deliver I believe. I think he has outsourced some environments, maybe the training field?
Yeah, I did read in one of his dev logs about outsourcing some of his work and the hired party was not able to deliver it.
Ocean can´t control those things of course, but i think all businessman have to deal with that, you never know who is the person that you hire after he starts working for you. But i don´t think it´s impossible to find good workers out there.
Oh man, the number of idiots I've hired over the years with fancy bits of paper and the right words...
The old saying of you just can't get the staff is as true now as it was 30, 40 years ago, even more so now I'd hesitantly add (even that does piss off all the Millenials and Gen Z'ers or whatever the kids are called these days).
I agree, as an example there are all the teams of artists that already exist. The real question would be: is Ocean capable of being an administrator who trusts who he hires? or is he unable to delegate by nature and that will bring him more problems than solutions?
Really sad to hear that man, Now more than ever our countries need people willing to work, and i always have been very proactive with the idea to give young people good opportunities (they need to earn it too) but when people like you tell that type of storys...Damn. I understand why a businessman would be reticent to hire people nowadaysOh man, the number of idiots I've hired over the years with fancy bits of paper and the right words...
Just to tell them to fuck off and stop wasting my time 3 days later. Even told one to get lost the day he started
, more in this type of working market.Yeah, that´s another story
. Sometimes is very difficult rely in other people the work of your life, or trust them to do the things well, i would understand Ocean if that was the case.But in the end only one person working in the game... Really difficult (i think he is the only one working on it right?)
Unfortunately, I think this happens a lot with contract jobs these days. Workers just not delivering...Oh man, the number of idiots I've hired over the years with fancy bits of paper and the right words...
Just to tell them to fuck off and stop wasting my time 3 days later. Even told one to get lost the day he started
There is no area of activity where there are no scammers. Contracts need to be drawn up for this. In addition to payment, the contract can also specify penalties for work not completed within a certain time. Therefore, only those who do not draw up contracts are stabbed in the back. And they only have themselves to blame for this.
