Ocean decided to do around a 7000 render update and I believe he said all of S1 was around 12000. So he way over did and and there is the smallest amount of optimisum after this he goes back to around 2000 ish render updates shortening the time. But we'll see.
He's too busy with WIAB.....now some here will tell ya that was already factored in but
......Someone posted the first chapter has 12000 renders????? I'll believe that{thought it was 7000?}
Im sorry S1 was about 12000 S2 CH 1 is set to be 7000
The smallest amount of optimism is that Ocean said he'd go back to smaller sized updates. I'm not sure how that will work with all the branching for the different paths though. If you have 150 unique renders per path with 13 LI's currently, that's already 1950 renders per update, without the story based renders. Or maybe the path specific events will be smaller? I'm really not sure how he'll go back. My guess is that each update will have to have a limited amount of LI specific content to keep the size that low. Currently Sonya, Nadia, Elsa and Marla haven't had much contact with Nika, I don't expect any events more than bumping into them for a coffee or awkward glances in a class or something. But once everyone's paths are open, 1950 is a small number, because then there are all the lewdable characters...
Definitely, Some scenarios could include, LI getting ignored for a longer period of time, some LIs maybe getting dropped, like for me at least some of the names Bob mentioned it's hard to see a path for some of these LI not to just be side LIs. It's technically still early for how the amount of time that has actually passed but, like said, some these interactions have been mere greetings and conversations that hold little weight and its hard to envision a path to get where some of the LI already are. Or the size will have to be 4-5 thousand renders or more to somehow keep everyone involved. Im grasping at straws, and this is just me, but maybe half chapters just to keep a somewhat "steady" release timeline. But its all speculation and its just a waiting game like always.
We've already had half chapters - the ~2200 renders from ch4.5 to ch5 beta for example, before the next ~2000 renders from ch5 beta to full. Ocean dropped the half numbers and now just calls each release a chapter. There's no industry standard that says a chapter is a particular length or has a cliffhanger, or anything. It just is what it is.
I use the uncut mod, because some good shit was taken out to make the steam release more PG or whatever, plus some other stuff that Ocean didn't like I suppose. That has an incest patch built in as well. Plus I suppose you can use scrappy's WT mod, I haven't tried it as I know what most of the choices do by now. I have no need for anything else really.
TBF, I'm having a little doubt that Ocean will ever be able to achieve a steady release timeline or schedule.
), so there's no point complaining about it or stressing over it the way some do.
The "original" version of the game you seek before the dev sold out would be ch3.5 but although you can still find a link to that update in this thread, that version of the game has been discontinued. The content is finite and no longer supported although I would still heavily encourage you to try it out since it was my favorite version of this game. Sadly no mod restores the game to what it was before Steam.
