I'm unsure if Steam is still a good idea altogether. Maybe when the Mastercard/Visa drama finally calms down he can bring it back on there. If it ever calms down. Ocean has to get his priorities straight now.When it comes out on steam will it be the up to date version and will it be at the same time?
As I remember it, on Patreon, Summer's Gone had over 1,000 supporters, and Where It All Began many hundreds, all contributing fixed sums monthly on a regular basis. (For a Summer's Gone tier I subscribed $6.67, monthly, converting Euros to American dollars.) That's a big hit as far as regular income is concerned, especially in Germany, where living costs are a bit above the EU average. Shame on Patreon for treating a creator with as great a talent as Ocean so spitefully and poorly, not even bothering to explain their objections or giving the artist affected a right of reply or chance of reinstatement.His/her games sure are popular. Patreon page down, Subscriber fund has risen to over 7,000USD per month.

Johnny Sins?I don't know, Johnny Sins out of focus in the background doesn't give me yoga vibes.

Honestly, I think S2 Ch.1 will focus more on Nika's trip to that cabin in the woods and the barn party than anything else. Still, it seems to be a pretty lenghty update - if we can trust Ocean's words - so I can a lot of stuff can happen in it.Johnny Sins?
It's leukemia-striken Mila with her wig off.
With all seriousness, there were s-o-o-o many future events teased by the end of Ch 5 Beta/Steam Season 1 (yoga/Sunday sparring/meeting with Emilio/bar opening/kinky ho-down at the barn) that the released version of Season 2 Chs 1-3 kinda needs to cover many if not all of them after such a long delay...
You mention all that filler, but you miss the most important thing... where is Bella in all this...they have projects to work onJohnny Sins?

Whlile I do think it will be a huge update, a portion of the renders are patch specific, as for how much I don't think one can say but it wont be 8k renders of story. I think the trip for the cabin would be a good way of ending the chapther but unless Ocean has changed his plan - with is more than possible- this updata was supposed to end before the bar opening as it would be a event with many routes and many ways to end it. So this titan of update is so far as I am aware supposed to cover two days Sunday and Monday.Honestly, I think S2 Ch.1 will focus more on Nika's trip to that cabin in the woods and the barn party than anything else.

OK, since the infamous patch was nowhere near getting updated for the final Season 1 release (and I have a feeling somehow it won't be released by the same source as before, given the Patreon politics), I've tasked myself with creating it. Well, updating it for the final release...
Here's the i-patch for the current Steam release. Should work fine with the Patreon build as well since they're identical.
The patch is compatible with Steam achievements.
I took the exact same approach as with previous versions of the patch, just unzip the attached and drop the "patchSG.rpy" file into the "game" directory of your SG folder. Don't change the filename!
Upon first launch the game will recreate the compiled "patchSG.rpyc" companion file.
Dialog changes come from the previous patch released for Chapter 5 beta, slightly amended when necessary to fit the updated Season 1 original dialogs. I did fix a few lines (just basic mistypes) from the Season 1 release as well.
But there's more. As you know a lot of further censoring went into the Season 1 release. Ocean cut a few risky renders, toned down some of the dialogue. And while he removed many of the assets cut from the game, a very small number of them were left in. So I've reenabled them with this patch and also restored some of the more spicy dialog (when it made sense, while keeping it balanced).
But please note : this is NOT an "uncensor" mod! The restored shots are part of larger scenes and are just additional shots. They wouldn't change your perception of the scene. It just felt like unnecessary edits on Ocean's part. I've attached a couple of them to this post. There are more drastic cuts which will be addressed with a full "uncensor" mod with i-patch, to be released by myself as well in the next couple of days, once testing is completed.
Tested this patch on a brand new Steam download of the game, on MacOS. Should work fine with Windows/Linux as well. I've tested several paths and did a few saves and loads with no issues. Your previous saves might not work with it though.
Please report if you find issues with it...
My thanks to scrappy for releasing an update of his Walkthrough/cheat mod which inspired me to revisit the patch.
Would appreciate if a mod could update the 1st post with this patch...
//last edit May 24th: incorporates latest bug fixes and proofreading from Season 1, with additional proofreading and bug fixes.

Nah, it's all in 4K That's where the 8k render count for the update comes from2k renders of Bella smirking, 2k renders for D&D![]()
Hey Bob, are you implying that the '8k renders' in the update will consist of 2 x 4K resolution renders? Ouch...Nah, it's all in 4K That's where the 8k render count for the update comes from![]()
One of a tabletop, and the other of troll bella smiling from SG pre rework ch2? That would totally build the mysteryHey Bob, are you implying that the '8k renders' in the update will consist of 2 x 4K resolution renders? Ouch...![]()
I must be dumb as shit, because every time I try to drop the patch into the game directory I get the same message View attachment 5388418
Its basically acting like an un-modifiable file, any help would be awesome
