Nika is his own villain. Not a dark path joke either. Every time he starts to come out of his shell, panic attacks. No need for a typical big boss villain type when you can't even trust your own body.
As simple as possibleSorry, bro, it's almost impossible to resist answering after 2 thousand pages of debate about what this game is about.
Legend has it that Ocean woke up with an idea for the plot after hearing Believe on the radio.

The dev started to slowly burn out so he wrote WIAB. At least, that's what I heard.

You heard from whom?
Bro... just look at the threads' dates:
WiAB oct. 2018
SG may 2019
I heard it happened when Ocean was visualizing the looks of the SG LIs while establishing a general plot for the new game. As he visualized the characters of Victoria, Mila, Nadia, Sasha, and Cindy Mueller (all while working on a WIAB scene with Helen), the word "basketballs" crept into his subconscious and stayed there... /s

You don't know the most important thing. In between these two, he works on a third one, with a female protagonist.
I wouldn't be suprised if he did. Putting his new workstation "to good use". Then again the dev did say he planned side stories so...

Oh, that has nothing to do with the new workstation. Just look at the date of the quote.

You know, I'd absolutely laugh my tits off if he's been working on this all this time and one day just releases a 30k render AVN....the absolute chaos that would ensue would be gold.
(I do of course, realise the actual probability of this happening)

The main thing is that WiAB was initially doomed to suffer from the parallel development of two games.
It would just be a female protagonist instead of SG. Dreams are just a dreams...
Yes I saw it was from 2019 and more than "a few months" passed and there's no official statement on that. Though he could've been working on such a project during those months last year in which render count for SG didn't increase.

Honestly, I'd lose my shit. I've wondered, not often, just how Ocean intends to actually complete SG and WiaB. He's got a vision and I can respect that. There are a few long term VN projects that churn along, pumping out content once a year or so.
Realistically, I just don't see how SG gets completed in a normal time frame given the number of chapters he's aimed for in the past. If it was something that I considered feasible, like 12 chapters or so, then I'd have more faith. At some point, the development speed will have to pick up or we'll run into another rework situation as graphics will continue to improve. I'd like to see this to completion but even a chapter a year is looking to be a multi decade project.

You are not wrong, odds are against him, but this is something that almost everyone on the thread already knows and had to come with term with it. Myself will be exhilarated if it is completed, but I am happy with the ride, for how long it will be. At least with the station we might be looking at a 6 months release cicle or one huge update a year.
I believe that in ten years, we will have more clarity on the timeline for the completion of this game.

"Summer's Gone" is only 1 of 4 books. We're still missing "Autumn's Here", "Winter's Cumming" and "Spring has Sprung".
Each book features a mystery surrounding its titular character. You already know Winter is gonna be one cold bitch and Autumn will have huuuuuge tits that will put Mila and the planet sized WiAb character to shame. Spring will probably be all cutesy and bubbly.
This is all spoilers so keep it hush-hush
