I disagree strongly. Our dear dev has been clearly demonstrated to turn semi-normal looking women into dirigible-sized titty monsters. I am honestly surprised he didn't fuck up Nami that way (yet) given his previous changes.

If that's what he wants to do that's fine, it's his project, but I sure as hell won't be supporting it if he does.

He didn't change Nami's tiddies, so my MC can joke at her being flat compared to the other girls

Next Update When?

Your opponent is right. You're looking for the problem in the wrong place, besides, burnout is nonsense invented for stupid people to load them with more work and pay them less. Fatigue isn't an option either, because tired people won't work on two projects at once.

Okay, if you don't think "burnout" is the right term, how about "writer's block"?

Whatever you want to call it, there is a pattern of people who focus for too long on a single project losing momentum and stalling out, while people who have a second project they can switch to when the first gets stale tend to keep going longer.

Of course, how long is too long varies by person, and there are other ways to mix things up that don't involve working on two major projects in parallel, but there are definitely people who have publicly credited their high output of creative works to being able to jump between different projects rather than feeling trapped into focusing on a single project...

At least creative block is a real problem for writers and screenwriters, unlike burnout. It's good that Ocean doesn't have creative block because he wrote the plots for SG and Wiab in advance.

But you're mistaken about one thing: switching to another project might distract you, but it doesn't solve the problem. To get rid of creative block, people take time off and have fun or pursue their hobbies. As I wrote earlier, Ocean doesn't have problems with creative block, but he also likes to rest. During the entire time he was working on Chapter 1 of Season 2, he took a break of at least 8 months. If he hadn't taken breaks, the game would have been released long ago.

P.S. There are many people who worked on their only project and achieved success and worldwide recognition. But there are no people who did several projects at once and achieved anything serious.

Next Update When?

Should be before the end of the year from what Ocean, but today there is a devlog where we can theorize when it will be

Hello,

Quick and to the point so I can go back to work.

Usually, I only handle tax stuff and other shitty things like that on Sunday, but I wanna be done with the update so I work today.

I rendered about 320 renders in the past 10 days, some of them are the same render with just the texture being different.

With everything that’s happening to the adult industry: from Steam apparently not allowing early access adult games anymore to the state of Michigan proposing a bill that would ban porn, or anything deemed immoral entirely, I’m gently preparing for a potential worst case.

Sure, those preparations add a bit of render time, but it’s manageable.

I hope, I’ll never need them.

About 260 were new renders and that puts us at around 7890 stills.
Almost 8000, yo.

I’ve also coded the main menu and part of the gallery.

There are still some screens left, but I should be fully done with the main menu and the structure of all additional submenus in the next two weeks.

I also think it will be a little more than 8000 stills… More like 8200 stills.

Steam & USK.
In the last log, I mentioned that Steam will review SG S1 again to determine if it’s suitable to be classified as a non-adult game. It’s currently rated as a weird in-between mix.

It took them about 15 days to get back to me and I think they have reviewed the game and were fine with it (?)
Someone from the escalated legal team contacted me for all the USK documents again, and they are currently reviewing them.
I should get an answer next week and hopefully, even Merkel can then get a copy on Steam.

Previews: 4K attached
If not bean, why bean shaped?



Besides rendering, I’m hard-focused on coding all of the necessary menus and features for the release.

I’ll see you in two weeks.

Thanks for sharing mate. Also, I really admire how dedicated Ocean is to complaining about some shit in every dev log

Yeh, SG ain't gonna have any 16+ action, that's for certain now.

Also no Wiab devlog or treat set or anything, which is hilarious since SG release ain't coming till December best, January realistic, March worst. Sucks to be you, Wiab fans, it's on hiatus for a half year at least.

I have a feeling Ocean really fucking regrets being involved in adult entertainment now, and would rather exit it entirely for the wider market. He really should just admit it already and move on to making 14+ dating sims.

Kinda curious if SG even has the legs to be an AVN without the A. Assuming he's going to bend over backwards to tone the game down so it can be on all platforms without being blacklisted in some areas.

Hmm yeah.. Its.. Sad i feel like the same is likely.. If no 18+ AT ALL it will really be horrible imo.. Not like the games are shit or anything just really sad to see some of the best AVN not being able to add sexual things.. Just because whiny centralised corporations and shit tier rules.

Exactly..

 

[Private_User69]

I bet once he gets close to the 8000-8200 number he's gonna say "I'm going to just go for 10k stills/renders" and it just not be released for another 3-6 months (I swear I remember him saying 8k was the cut off for this release)

Eh, I'd say SG yes, WIAB no. SG S1 is sold really well as not adult game, because it's a decent dating sim with good renders. So long as he doesn't fuck it up by endless exposition and MAFIA changes, purely dating part would work fairly well. Girls are hot enough and chemisty is there.

Wiab, tho? Fuck no. That game is barely playable with only incest cut, without porn it will be just pure garbage. Writing is shit, characters are mostly shit and it runs on porn logic.

If no 18+ AT ALL it will really be horrible imo..

I don't think anyone will notice tbh. It's not like there will be any sex in it in our lifetime, with the pacing being what it is.

Someone have the 4k previews?

 

[Lorenz1]

Huh. He did post something Wiab related! My bad.

> Instead of multiple images for the same girl, I'll make a collab of four WiAB girls. 2 images each. The four girls with the most votes get into the first set.

That's nice.
