Hello,

Well, well, well... Look who decided to show up.

I'll be making one big change to the dev logs: From now on, all dev logs will be released on the same day.
In the past months, I have established a serious commitment to my daily renders and figured out how to "abuse" the ability to go into a hyperfocus for 10+ hours.

These hyperfocus sessions have a main drawback.
I feel absolutely antisocial, and writing dev logs feels like climbing an impossibly high wall.
They help me achieve amazing game-related goals, but I can't do anything social for a few days afterward.

As most of you know, I don't just provide dry information in the dev logs; I often discuss all sorts of game-related topics, even personal topics.
By releasing all Dev Logs on the same day, I have more "free" days to just be a robot without having to power down and be in some sort of in-between every few days.

I also have this adhd tick that when I have an appointment or there's a date I have to do something, I think about it every single day... And it's distracting. I tried to fight it by reducing the numbers of previews buuuut... well... Yeah.

So, both dev logs will now be released on the same day. That way I also won't need to repeat info from the last log in a new one.

S2 - Chapter 1
I've been churning out renders left and right and put a lot of work into some decorative elements in the scenes.
The goal of every update should be to increase immersion.
I'm about to finish three scenes, and have done a little bit of postwork.

Previews:
With Chapter 1, a little bit of branching will be introduced, and the following scene is a good one to showcase this.
Where girls meet (Or how we would say it in Germany: "Treffpunkt feiner Geister.")
Depending on previous choices or routes, several different girls can take Kate's place in said render.
I'll showcase two of them.

"Why don't you go play with the neighbor's kid?"
The neighbor's kid:

The next Dev log in two weeks will be a few days late, as I'll be visiting family from 23.11 to 1.12. Three big family events are happening in one week, and I don't want to miss them.

It might also be a good idea to take a week off from my overdrive healthwise. During that week, I'll finish the German translation for SG and start implementing some others, too.

I'll see you in two weeks.

Damn, Kate looks hot in that outfit. The MC certainly doesn't seem to mind her sitting in his lap

Always good to see the Cheeto, but why is Nika on the female bathroom ?

 

[LHDLLB]

Damn, Kate looks hot in that outfit. The MC certainly doesn't seem to mind her sitting in his lap

I don't know, her face seems strange and the dominatrix boots are a bit odd and the Nika's face is more of " what are you doing ?" to me. Honestly first thing I saw was Nadia's ass. Curious to see how many variations it has, am wagering that the Kate is Bella's route.

 

[Penfold Mole]

Always good to see the Cheeto, but why is Nika on the female bathroom ?

Maybe it's a unisex bathroom? They even had unisex showers in the gym, remember?

 

[LHDLLB]

Yeah, but Ocean text makes it seems like a female space, place where girls meet, maybe just a expression but was where my mind went.

 

[dameromexxx]

Is Ocean gently suggesting that Kate might get LI status?

The form of apology for telling her in the Locker Room that she's not hot, the slightly offended expression on her face suggests that

Nika expression also indicates that it's his initiative, he's usually furious when someone invades his personal space without his consent

I also doubt he would do that if he was with Bella

We know that kate has only interest on Nika if he is on Bella's route, my guess is that she is pushing things a bit, can not see Nika pulling her onto his lap.

She's actually interested in him when we go to the gym and she says in the bathroom with Robin that she has to claim him as hers before the other girls in college realize that he's a hottie in the future and she's the one who starts the unsuccessful flirt in the locker room in the handcuff scene when we're not with Bella

Yeah, but mostly is just talk. She is only aggressive -and sitting on your lap is rather aggressive-if you are on Bella's path, asking for a kiss and making innuendos to Bella. Not saying that you're wrong, just that is not how I am interpretating things.

 

[Adhdclassic]

I hope they go in depth with Robin I feel more to her. Nothing negative just something about her. She feels emotional needy. At the book thing when he talks to her and mentions owing him a favor she seems extremely happy about it where everyone else is like a favor uhh. She seems over empathetic to him and gravitates to him even though she doesn't know him. Maybe she is summer dum dum dum

 

[I_love_anime]

I_love_anime , you are talking about a teenage boy who is able to fake impotence. Which makes me think that you can only be a girl who knows very little about teen boys. You clearly have no clue what you're talking about.

Even grown men need some serious concentration to suppress an erection and in some situations every one of them would eventually fail, unless they have a real ED problem.
For a teenage boy it would be physiologically impossible to successfully fake and lie about it in all the situations described in the game. About as impossible as stopping his heart or holding his breath for 20 minutes at will.
Getting an erection is an almost uncontrollable reflex, especially for a teenage boy. I still remember the hell I went through as a teen, getting these random boners now and then, even without any real reason at all.

You speak as if you are a horny schoolboy who has never seen real women. MC has no problem with this, he is used to controlling himself, because his sister constantly walks around the house naked.

Have you ever been to expensive private closed beaches where it is allowed to sunbathe naked? I think you have not been there, because then you would have seen that there are many men of different ages and they walk around without an erection, because they are used to the sight of naked women, like Nika.

 

[dameromexxx]

Yeah, but mostly is just talk. She is only aggressive -and sitting on your lap is rather aggressive-if you are on Bella's path, asking for a kiss and making innuendos to Bella. Not saying that you're wrong, just that is not how I am interpretating things.

I know and I have to admit that interpreting these different previews in different ways is one of the coolest things in the 'winter' period when we are waiting for the next update.

I see it this way, that some of his, to quote him, 'trying to become a better person' moments when he tries to fix it when he behaved like an asshole for no real reason. Hence, despite being slightly cofused, he is rather calm as if he was in control of the situation and Kate is twisting her lips as if in the style of ''what does this jackass want from me''

I can't wait for the moment when all these unclear situations become clear to us

One thing we can be 100 percent sure of is that it really does look like silk shirts have replaced leather jackets and punk T-shirts for good.

 

[Paynne]

Nika's face is more of " what are you doing ?"

Maybe, but to me he doesn’t look bothered or angry at all which is curious because we know he doesn’t like people invading his space.

Honestly first thing I saw was Nadia's ass

Me too. Kinda hard not to see Nadia’s big ass haha

Is Ocean gently suggesting that Kate might get LI status?

Honestly I wouldn’t mind if she was a LI. She’s easily one of the best looking girls of the game imo.

 

[VicLex22]

Kate is a trap in Bella's path and nothing more.
Her task is to seduce Bella's boyfriend to avenge her beating at school, then she will leave him as unnecessary.
If you are not in Bella's path, then Kate will not show any interest in you, she is not interested in you as a boyfriend.
Ocean has repeatedly explained Kate's role in the story, but the players keep coming up with their own scenarios.

But, Bella grinds him hard multiple times and gets nothing. This from a shut in who doesn't notice other people, lives in a room where he keeps the blinds shut, bumps into people because he walks around like a space cadet when out of the home. He pushes himself to be functional for college, and starts getting sporadic panic attacks.

Basically, you don't seem to understand that if someone is described as having a problem, we can accept it is a problem. You're basing your approach on your comfort levels, not on Nika's.

I like to see other players' perspectives as well, and it helps to keep things interesting. Who knows? Maybe in the next render, he's throwing her out... or fondling her a little, depending on the player's choice.

Maybe, but to me he doesn’t look bothered or angry at all which is curious because we know he doesn’t like people invading his space.

He seems confused to me. Yeah, Nadia has been caught my attention in every previewer she is in. S1 I never looked at her.

Sure, but that's also a trope used for like a lot of romantic development between different characters lol. A lot of stories in AVNs and other media where someone is trying to use a person to make their partner jealous/get revenge and then genuinely starts to like them. Kate being a potential LI wouldn't be something insane.

 

[Alter_98]

Why is some dude so obsessed with Nika's impotence? Lol

 

[Paynne]

I’m curious, where did he explained this? Discord? I’m Asking because I don’t follow the thread and I’m not that much on discord either.
