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.

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.

It's been a while since I last played, is that the Bean in that first pic? No way Ocean made her thick too. Wasn't half her character based around being thin because of an eating disorder?

Is it just me or there are tons of scenes in which the back button has become grey out in the steam version? I can't just roll back to the previous conversations like other renpy games now?

the most recent devlog was posted on summer's gone subreddit and someone asked if Ocean would be more cautious about NSFW content in season 2 on steam. This was Ocean's response:
"
I'm not.

However, if Steam were to take the route of banning adult games (and if Steam does, GOG will likely follow due to pressure from payment processors), I can upload an SFW version to the platforms that ban NSFW.

In this case, everyone will be able to upgrade the sfw version from Steam, etc., to the NSFW version for free. (The upgrade would be available on Discord / my website.

Let's hope it won't happen, tho, because it's not just Steam. EVERY major platform will have to follow it eventually due to payment processor demands.)

I want to make NSFW games, not SFW, so there will be no tuning down."

How are we supposed to believe you it's just your word no proof on your part on what Ocean said. We had a Devlog on what he said you don't, what i think your trying to do is damage control, but good try on your part.

Here is the reddit comment from Ocean. I look forward to your apology.

Nobody is raging i'm not a little baby who blocks people who disagree with me i can handle someone who does not have my same outlook on a subject. And what i said is not out of anger it's just a different point of view it's not right or wrong just my opinion accept it or not it does not matter, We all are not little babies who can't take a difference of opinion.

 

[DC Insomnia]

Try the f95 checker. Simple app that will check and see if the games you play have updates. SO MUCH EASIER then checking the site repeatedly

Wait thats a thing? Holy Crap i need this App. Where can i find it?

Edit: Found it. Thank you for the suggestion

Nah, it's not a matter of opinion. You just have zero reading comprehension.

I think once SG S2 chapter 1 comes out it will be one of the longest development cycle update ever for a AVN game.

Unfortunately; a year just to do one update is not unheard of in this space; but at least with SG I feel more confident that the time comes with quality though.

Latest update with story progression was in november 2023, bro. Before that: end of 2022.

So, 2 updates with story progression in the latest 4 years.

Now you guys can keep on making sweet dreams while Ocean keeps you updated about him paying taxes in Germany.

He should do more than that

I love seeing her angry and wanting to kill us

 

[Orgitas]

Ocean was pretty clear about his work being life long processes. So, you know, he isn't in any great rush to get things released.

Yeah i can understand major sites are pressured due to shitty mastercard and visa policies,but i can't (i hope) see GOG budging. Ok,maybe they will budge too,but don't you think at some point the community will be fed up with all this bullshit? I'm not naive enough to think there are some white knights out there who'll stand up,but the porn industrie makes billions of dollars ,do you think they will give up cuz of some major cc ceo's having a brain fart?And steam,steam is the biggest player out there . What do you think will happen if steam gets banned,or reduced to a tamed version? Yes mastercard etc. hold some power to a point,but if the majority of shareholders loose money? Not even the orange clown can rescue them.
