I'll happily call out Ocean when he's making bs excuses, as he did with the workstation AND the cable - both were complete bs. He could've used a cable from a fucking Macintosh and it'd been perfectly fucking fine. His excuse was like saying you can't use your new phone bc Samsung and Apple no longer ship phones w/ power blocks. That cable has been massive overkill for 40 years and will be for another 40. Hell, I've even pointed out the idiocy of leasing it rather than just building one himself.

Anyway, the people complaining here now... you have nothing to fucking complain about at this point. Development is moving. And wtf is with the crying about him focusing on getting the update out for WiAB? SG would likely be in even worse shape than WiAB today if its Patreon had gotten shut down than WiAB is now. SG is literally the porn game known for not having porn. There's a lot to criticize, but for the first time in fucking years we're going to actually get new content. Just fucking chill. He'll likely give you an actual reason to bitch in the next couple of weeks.

When he drops another clearly bullshit excuse, please, by all means, let him and everyone else know about it.

And to the dude moaning that Ocean's post work is shit... show me a single dev who is on his level and isn't absolutely fucking struggling their asses off to hit 700 render updates per year. Hell, you've got games like Casual Desires who have gone w/o an update for 17 months and just announced the next update will be 616 renders. And Ocean's at over 5000. That's an update that's bigger than the majority of the VN's on this site and his games are literally the standard every other VN is judged by visually. You can whine about him trying to be overly cinematic by blurring the backgrounds in certain close up scenes, but it's quite literally his visual style that has made him one of the most successful devs in the space. None of us, even other devs, have any right to fucking ridicule what he's doing visually until someone comes along who outperforms him in quality and quantity. There's a lot you CAN criticize, but visual quality isn't something you'll be able to justify any time soon.

What a weird shizo post, the last few pages are nothing but ppl roleplaying and making stuff up about the girls.
No need to white knight any harder than the hivemind of this thread already does, relax lil bro.

Manipulative? Neither one has manipulated anyone.
Vanessa is probably better at reading people then Nika
Sorry, you're completely wrong. Nika is extremely manipulative. His strength in the basketball game was exploiting opponent's weaknesses through manipulation. His violent high school past was causing trouble and instigating fights through manipulation.

Vanessa is also extremely manipulative, she finds it fun to manipulate men. Hence her fun with her current boyfriend. She alsw was manipulating Bella by pretending to be an idiot.

I have to ask, are you high or drunk while playing this game, or are you just fapping too hard to pay attention?

For Nami, well, we know a bit. She's jealous, vain and manipulative. She doesn't hesitate to manipuate MC when he starts to get comfy with other girls, tell him to "slow down". Not only that, but she uses Summer's haircut when they go to the lake, and ocean confirmed in the discord this was not innocent and there's more to it.
MC also confirmed Nami was not nice in high school.
Manipulating a friend in a fragile mental state is a shit move.
Now that you mention it nami is a shitty person....... You know I forgive her for that great charisma she has.:BootyTime:

Nika manipulated Zara and Nadia in the basketball game as canon, is manipulating Nami/Sai as canon, and is starting to manipulate Anna, if you choose that. It's pretty weak manipulation for someone who thinks he's an iconic anime star chess player ninja puppetmaster, but it's there. And we're to assume Vanessa wasn't stripping for any other reason than to see if she could twist him around her finger. Vanessa's more successful I'd say, because Nami doesn't realise how she was being molded and had stars in her eyes. Also Vanessa's manipulating Bella by pretending not to be smart. The best manipulator doesn't leave signposts.

Edit: ahhh Maccabbee beat me to it.

I think Bella is not manipulated by Vanessa. she's just insensitive that's why she doesn't know how to read people. and also, she doesn't scare easily, that's why maybe she think Vanessa as a weird and idiot person. just my opinion.

I mean, Vanessa is basically grooming Nami in front of Nika. It might be called charisma, but that's what I mean about good manipulator not signposting. It's one of the reasons Vanessa has the snake jewellery, and wears a roman emperor style tiara. She sees herself as elite and able to twist anyone to her will, and believes that they will love her for manipulating them. That's why she lashed out at Zara when Zara interrupted her strip.

Vanessa's manipulation isn't based on power or coercion, it's more the manipulation like Pavlov's dog. Bella's too impatient to notice she's being played.

Nah I'm just Bob. I like Ocean's games, I try to pay attention to the details and I probably have played the game in different releases too many times. My main job is editing details so I have a tendency to focus on the little things ...other than my typos.

I doubt Ocean will ever come back posting here. It's easy enough for him to view the thread without logging in if he wanted to see all the "dev bad! Bad dev!" comments when he's having too good a day and needs to bring himself down to normal. :coffee::sneaky:
