[Crashbullet]

is there any news on the next update ?

Come back in June and July

To give a serious answer: i dont know man, i was convinced that Nika is willy and Leia's child and Nami willy and daphnes and everyone else more or less too, at least every petrova, zane and maybe reverra for the longest time but ocean is chaning so much and patreon ... i have no clue whats going on anymore or what could be happening.

Wouldnt even be this surprised anymore if they all came out of some kind of mysterious lab instead of having real parents just to evade the patreon incest thing at this point lol

I think it would be wasted potential for Nika to not be the son of william (or at least another cool/important guy we dont know in wiab yet, maybe someone who sacrificed himself for them or noji or even an antagonist who the zanes killed) with a 2 avn setup like that.

And lets be real, all these little connections like nami's earring or Katie appearing and being very interested in Nami and Nika would be so UBER lame if it turns out the relation is that ... i dunno .. Mr. Cyrus was Leia's driver for three months or something.

It would fit to the similar vibes im getting from wiab/sg at times compared to tv shows like Lost or The Blacklist tho lol

I'm one of the few who really don't like the idea of MC being "the chosen one". Having some powerful background like so many stories. Also, with ocean, I never know when it comes to incest.

He was pretty clear that, for example, Nami and MC weren't siblings. He even changed the Zane family's relationship. Which people called bullshit because of the Patreon rules. Knowing that, if (and I really hope that's not the case), MC is William and Leia's son, he'd be the fruit of an incestuous relation. The kind of relation that ocean is doing everything to circumvent because of patreon.

No William is still around, we learn about this at the Bookclub. Same with Leia.

Nojiko is not a Maeda (Miru's family) if she hasnt changed her last name at least. Nojiko knew/knows Scarlett (Sister from Helen in Wiab) tho

Cousins/Nieces often have different last names, if their father was from another family. Maybe that's not how it works in yours?

By Patreon rules, even if Nami and Nika were not blood siblings, they still count as siblings due to adoption. Noji still counts as their mother, even if its' through adoption. Their rules still say anything going on between them is Incest. Also, I've played through a few times, and nowhere do I remember anything about Nika and Nami not being blood siblings. Can you tell me where in-game it said that? I might have missed it. They certainly consider themselves as actual siblings, and if they're descended from the Zanes, that would even be a family trait.

Maybe Ocean is gonna push this as far as it goes, then is willing to get banned, because it sure smells like Incest is gonna be on the table in this one. Only other option is the family breaks up, either geographically or by death.

No chance.
First, they might be considered siblings, but only through adoption, not blood relation and that fact is headcanon. And even that is shaky, since ocean make it extremely clear that Nami/mc = roommate, Noji = their guardian.

He's not going to risk to lose his SG patreon after they nuked his WIAB page last time over bullshit.
I genuinely hope that Will/Leia is merely a red herring and that MC's origin is not as predictable and bland as the "chosen one" type of intrigue.

Okay, it's true that I'm using the mod that includes the restoration stuff, so the original relationships in my game are adopted/siblings/etc., I keep forgetting that, since it's the only way I've played. However, wtf are you "chosen one" about? The MC is the MAIN CHARACTER, the Protagonist in the story. He's not the fucking messiah, or a prophet.

He's obviously related to the stuff in WIAB, because they are literally related games, in the same town, with some same people. Why do that if their stories are not connected? He took over development on WIAB and rebooted it when the team he had doing it fucked up, so it's obviously important to Ocean.

You were convinced because anyone with half a brain knows for a fact that's where the story was supposed to go, with a little room for twists, before the incest purge began.

Which is one of my issues with the rework. Anything that follows will 100% be contrived and retconned bullshit. And I've said it countless times before, I have no faith in Ocean as a writer to dig himself out of the hole he got himself into. But I am looking forward to seeing logic and common sense fade away more and more as he tries to shoehorn his original ideas into this new direction. I think it will be entertaining either way and I'll be here for it

How do you feel about this connection? The MC was the son of the maid that worked for Nami's family and Nami's mother was Leia's best friend from highschool and their favorite teacher was Sasha's grandmother who gave one of her earrings to young Nami's mother? I could write retarded shit like this all day

EDIT: And before BobTheDuck comes correct me about the lady that gave Nami the earring not being her mother, buddy let me tell you, that's the twist. You see at some point Nami's mother lost the earring and Summer from the future came back to find it and make sure that it got to Nami because the fate of the world depends on it! But enough spoilers.

 

[byaaahh]

my weird theory is . what if Nika is one of zane siblings . he is also the son of Dylan?

Didn't Ocean retcon WiaB and basically make it so only William, Leia and Katie are Zanes?

Dylan is the Dad, isn't he? There's also Helen's sister's family, they're not Zanes, but they are family.

When I mean "chosen one", I mean coming from a special lineage/powerful family.
A lot of story use this kind of trope where the mc, average and mundane at first, is revealed to have a powerful fate/gift/lineage to support him.
Being the son of someone like William and Leia, and being a Zane, symbolizes that kind of intrigue.

 

[byaaahh]

I thought it was changed to basically mirror Nika's situation. There is no blood relation and the Zanes were basically raised by Helen and Dylan, because Ocean tried to dump the incest.

Which made no sense, as he left in the fact you fuck William's twin...

And since it's an established fact that Sasha is Summer, it was her pair of earrings. But now she's at the point where she hasn't travelled back in time yet and gave Nami the earring. She doesn't know that she's going to do that, so she was very surprised to see her missing earring on Nami.

I fear it will end like this.... unless the German government stops him first with taxes XD

Oh, your theory is much better and more logical than the "theory about the pheromones MC emits and attracts ladies" that I read once and lost my IQ.

We only know that Willy and Leia are twins and not related to Dylan/Helen/Katie now, we dont know which of these two parts are the original Zane's now or am i wrong?

It seems that Dylan is still the original Zane line (Katie is a Zane after all) and Willy and Leia are not lol, people have just added the surname Zane for william in their phone for jokes and giggles

I think we need to wait for chapter 4 of WiaB for some clarity.

The whole "retcon the family connection to abide by patreon rules", only to have William fall in love with his twin made basically threw a grenade on any understanding of what Ocean is thinking. It'd make more sense for him to just undo the retcon and continue as was previously planned, since he is likely to get hit for incest between William and Leia anyway as Katie witnesses something and blackmails William, which led to him leaving.

 

[byaaahh]

I'm going to throw out my thoughts on the earring.

Leia sees herself in Nami. She sees a young girl in love with someone she likely shouldn't be, as she was with William, only to have that person move on (William left and found Miru/Nika with Summer). She gives her the earring and some comforting words, something she never got before she spiralled into depression and anorexia.

The only question is why a Petrova, a family that hate the Zane's, has possession of the matching earring.

WIAB was already nuked out of patreon. This is why I don't understand the retcon.
