[SToyS]

Great news, in the next 2 weeks all the renders will be ready, all that remains is to throw them into Ren Py and write the dialogues.

It's a good joke, but it's a pity that it's a joke. Although there's something wrong with the math of the ocean and the time it takes to develop, it's a fact.

Hello,

Renders 6300 -> 6720

There were a few days when I couldn’t work much because I was involved in planning the funeral for my uncle.
Then I had to manage a release, and now we’re here.


We’re close to 7000 renders, and there is still a bit to do.

Sunday is prep day.
- I created 7 new background characters (Some way too hot.)
- I think there are two more environments I need to prepare, and every scene left in the update can be started without any hassle.
With prep, I mean that I load in everything I need, design the environment (if it’s a new one), set up the lighting, characters, and clothes, and then move on to the next scene.
This did wonders for my productivity.
Soon, I can start prepping Chapter 2.

I'd say the PC averages about 35 renders a day. The current scene has 22 characters in it, and loading it up takes a while.

Community Treat

Winner is: "Bella, Ayua, and Nadia hanging out at the Beach."

Nadia... I did some hot renders of her the other day... Way too hot to be previewed.
I'll probably start the treat next Sunday.

Wow, thats awesome progress, really. By August we should be around the ~7000 renders mark and have ~1000 renders to go.

 

[pupitti]

~1800 renders left/55per day = ~33days of only creating renders. Saying he can do 10 extra renders/day would cut the render time about 2 weeks, so thats great, but I dont think he can keep it up for the remaining of the production time, but lets say he can. 6 weeks of renders and same numbers as before, we are at 15 weeks left. 34 devlogs, 8to go

From saying there will be 55 renders/day to 35, though Ocean had some complications this weeks, so we'll give him that. 1400 renders left/55 = 25 days of only rendering. No more info about development. 35 devlogs, 7 to go. Also, is it official that devlogs are on Sundays? I know Ocean said " Gone are the days of the Wednesday dev logs. Welcome the age of Sunday Logs. " on devlog 35, but I thought it was ironic and only said it bcs it was a sunday and not a wednesday

 

[Penfold Mole]

He's still targeting Mila, so he isn't a saint. Bob and I have already discussed the possibility of Stefan and Vanessa working with Leia. The latest WiAB update also fits that theory quite well.

I don't take Bella's accusations seriously either. And if the connection between Stefan and Leia turns out to be true, I just hope it won't be used as a typical lazy writer's excuse for Nika and Bella's fuck-ups.

No, Stefan doesn't seem to be "targeting" Mila. Someone is, but we don't know who. Unless Stefan is lying, he doesn't know who's being accused for the break-in, doesn't even know her name. And he has no reason to lie (that we know of for sure), unless he's some kind of mastermind playing some 3D chess with them (that would be only a speculation at this point).

Mario Holgerson knows Mila, Vanessa knows Mila (unless I misremember this) and Stefan's wife might know Mila, but Stefan seems to be clueless:

        mf "It's a tragedy... that heirloom was worth a lot to my family."
        mf "But we already have a suspect... I forgot her name, but she looks like someone who works on the street."
        mf "And we believe she wasn't alone. Someone like her couldn't have pulled it off alone."

So either Vanessa or Stefan's wife or maybe Mario might be trying to pull some intrigue by involving Mila there, but there's currently no evidence that Stefan is aware of this and that he was lying to Bella and Nika.

Sure, I think I remember this discussion. You thought that he might be aware that Bella and Nika were the ones breaking into his house (that the cameras were actually working) and may be planning to somehow "cash in" this favor of keeping them out of trouble later on. But there's still no evidence of it so far, only your speculation. The speculation that Leia (=Mafia?) is involved somehow is even further away from any evidence we know about so far. She might be, but there's a much bigger chance at this point that she's not.
This was what I was talking about. I was not speculating but trying to bring this speculation fest back "down to Earth" to the facts we actually know for sure at this point.

We'll see if you were right or wrong. There's a good chance that Stefan really is clueless and someone else is manipulating this investigation. Could be Vanessa, Mario or Stefan's wife or someone else. We don't know who's the investigating officer, maybe it's even the Ceril sister? Or maybe it was the anthropomorphic animals behind it? Aliens?

Seriously, we've discussed the Holgersons so many times, but I never even considered the possibility that Stefan might be clueless about Mila. Or maybe someone brought it up and it just slipped my mind. Either way, I never paid attention to his words that you quoted. I guess I ended up falling for Bella and Nika’s assumptions after all.

I was leaning more toward Mario's innocence since we don't see him bullying Mila. He was just standing with his friends.

Boooooooob!

Yeah, I like Stefan in WIAB, I'd hate to think that his family went to shit.

It would be hilarious if Stefan and Mario turn out to be more or less innocent, and we're left with two morons who messed up.

• Ocean

Base on the status update I think a mid to late September release is possible. Hopefully, Ocean can move pass a lot of the drama that have been plaguing him for a while and just concentrate on the game development.

that the cameras were actually working

All the theories we built around WIAB and the book club went to pieces, it turns out that Mila is wanted to be involved in filming porn in Willie and Zoe's studio, or she was just passing by, thanks to our great screenwriter there is no point in digging deep, the answer will be on the surface.

 

[X2JZcf]

By the way, is anyone shocked and disappointed how shy, nice guy Stephan Holgerson ended up being such a sleazy scumbag?

He is just like his role model - William.

 

[Dr.TSoni]

We never considered that Mario might have mentioned the "altercation" with Mila to the police.

Hitting his 8000 renders by late september yes. But the game won't be out by that date. He then needs to test it, polish it. It's going to take a month or two AFTER the renders are finished.

Only if Ocean deliberately slows down the chapter's release. There will be 7000+ renders by the end of this month. He'll do about 1000 more renders in August.

I understand you want the game to come out faster, will all do. But Ocean already stated the game will be out in Q4. Q4 starts in October.

 

[Penfold Mole]

It's certainly one of the possibilities, we just don't know for sure.

PS. I like the "two morons" theory. I like it a lot!

 

[Ahx]

It's a Christmas release then... Better than the New Year release, 'cause it's gonna be just jingle bells anyway without any fireworks.

 

[Penfold Mole]

Initially Nika realizes that Bella isn't exactly the sharpest pencil in the box and seems to have an idea to manipulate "the retard" for his own goal of avenging for Mila's (and his own!) humiliation and to boost her (possibly somewhat unsubstantiated) hate for Holgerssons, to use it:

        bm "I'll leave you two alone."
        bm "If you get hungry or need something to drink, just tell me."
        b "Mhm, bye Mom."
        scene z878 with dissolve
        play music "music/divider.mp3" fadein 2.0 fadeout 2.0
# Here we go: ↓↓↓
        d "(Her mother is a nice woman. Can't believe she has such a retarded child.)"
        d "..Do you think they will hit on your mom at that gala?"
        pause
        d "I take this as a yes."
        pause
        d "You can't protect her.. you know that right?"
        scene z879 with dissolve
        b "Of course I can."
        d "No you can't.. She has to tell them off herself.. otherwise they will never stop.. Except you fuck them up first."

But we already know that, while Nika seems to think of himself as a mastermind of intrigues, based on his success of rather crude manipulation of his high school schoolmates, he's not very smart, either. Smarter than Bella, since he can recognize a smart person (Vanessa) while Bella can't.

Let's be honest, those two are made for each other, I don't know if the world is ready for the chaos they will bring together.
