I still don't understand why Ocean does post work before all the renders and animation is done. That just needlessly split his attention from two different task.

You're talking about a dev working on two different games.

We barely even started, actually. So my advice, wait for the chapter 1, see if it was worth the wait, if not move on. Because the story won't change my man. I understand your frustration. I'm playing this game since 2022, so I had to go through the remaster of early chapter. But I am one of those who think that the story is worth it, so I'm waiting, going on with my life and playing other games in the meantime.

I understand bro, and I wouldn’t be saying all of this if I didn’t love the game. The problem is, I know that as long as I’m around and see there’s an update, I’ll play it. I just want to see it reach its full potential. Hell, if some of my favorite girls like Sasha, Zara, and Robin reach the same relationship level with the MC as Bella, I’d be satisfied.

I assume because hes already doing postwork for Wiab

Hand on heart, does anyone think this story will have an ending?
I enjoy the rendering capabilities of a fully-taxed PC. #TeamBella and all that, but I think it's more likely we'll be visited by aliens than this story will have an ending. I just hope that when the time comes, Ocean shares the ending in text so we don't end up empty-handed.

Me too dude,
Ocean says he has a total of 32 chapters in mind for Summer's Gone, and look how fucking long it took for him to reach ch 5. If he reduce the chapter number to 30 and release a chapter every year, it will till take 25 years to complete just Summer's Gone. Then there is WiAB. I my opinion Ocean need to understand the situation he is in right now. He needs help for another developer if possible. If he is consistent and release a chapter every 3 month, we will have 4 chapters every year. And Summer's Gone will end in 6 years. This is the only way I think this game will ever stay above water. If he keeps the same pace everyone who is supporting this currently is going to move on or he is going to burn out and Summer's Gone is going to be just another abandoned game.

I don't think any of the kids know Nika is a Zane. It seems like it's a secret held between the WiaB cast and Noji, for a reason yet to be determined.

Ayua is practically all over him in the bar, but she does mention that he would have to marry into the family (her, one of her sisters or cousins) to be taught the family fighting style. If she knew they were related, I can't see that happening.

To be clear, Ayua's family fight style is not a ZANE thing, it's her family's thing (Maeda). If William marries Miru, he gets to learn it. It doesn't go to the rest of the Zanes. Even if William is Nika's father (which most of us assume), if Miru isn't his mother, he doesn't get to learn the Maeda style.

If Wiliam is the father, what's the theory for the mother?

Ayua mentions marrying her cousin, is it ever mentioned Miru has siblings?

I always pictured Miru as a matriarchal figure who'd look after all the kids in her "family". This seems like something she would want to pass to all her and William's "kids". Much like Miyagi-do being passed down to Daniel in The Karate Kid.

In the new version, yes, Miru has mentioned having younger sisters and a large extended clan. I am playing modded, so I have no way of knowing if it's cannon or not.

It's also pretty clear that in WIAB she is NOT the leader of the clan, or she wouldn't be out galivanting with Wiliam. She would be running the clan and the dojo (like it seems that she is doing in SG).

Yeah, the wiki could use some love. There's a lot of outdated and missing info.

It'd be easier to just check that than having to parse through the game for info.

Hello,

So let's get right in.

I had to take two days off last week because I canceled the lease for my apartment in March and welp, there were days where people came to look at it.

I had to make it presentable and guide people around.

What a great guy, first he teaches us how to pay and evade taxes and now he is teaching us how to sell real estate..

Marley300 said:
Most of my time is still spent preparing the release for a different project.

Oh boy.

Marley300 said:
I'm doing my best to finish it as fast as possible, but all updates deserve a good polishing.

I think he said the same thing last year, but I can't confirm or deny it.

Oh my god, the sex update is real.

manmker123 · 2025-04-23T22:39:22+0100

any release date news?

xceratxx · 2025-04-23T22:40:29+0100

is this a joke? he still at 5k render???

Mamaragan · 2025-04-23T22:53:00+0100

From a previous dev log

might be Ayua sisters. You’ll recognize Adriana (?) from the book club with her tattoos

I've always thought that Adrianna is likely Ayua's aunt (one of Miru's sisters). She seems a bit too old to be Miru's daughter.

Mamaragan · 2025-04-23T23:02:38+0100

She doesn’t look old to me.

Spending 1.5 years on an update with 7000+ renders? Fine. Cutting it in half after all that time? Yeah...not sure about that.

If he already has a few thousand renders done and S2E2 doesn't release in a short timespan (a few months) after S2E1 releases, I'm just going to write this off as another dev claiming to have done more work than they let on (looking at you BD and Komi).

I started following SG and Ocean last year, and I immediately realized that he is a scoundrel, he promises one thing and does another but it is all his supporters' fault, because if no one demands it, he thinks it's okay to keep stalling and making excuses.

So go away. Nobody is forcing you to be here, trolling fans of the work.
