Called it, but mods deleted my comment saying it was off topic. It was a few days before the tag went up. Everyone who supported has been played. This game went nowhere fast. Lots of good bones, but 47 re-works of chapters instead of moving forward was a clear sign in my opinion.

"called it"? You DO know the tag is only for following procedures on this site right?
Not a report of the state of any project in real life...
But hey, you've the right to hate all you like. It's your prerogative!
No one really cares anyhow what the web version of rando preachers in street corners screech about frothing from the mouth... :)


Knowing Ocean, I'll just check back in a year and see if any update has happened on any of the 2 games...

Yeah that animation is not sex, maybe his face at best, but she's probably grinding on a stuffed animal since his wormy still doesn't work.

This game is a masterclass in wasting time. Six endless years of ‘development’ with absolutely nothing to show for it, not even the scenes people were waiting for—then, in a breathtaking finale, the so-called developer vanishes after squeezing every drop of support for six years. If incompetence were an art form, this would be its Mona Lisa.

Yeah, and by exceptional graphics, it's not even the actual rendering that's so time-consuming. It's everything behind the render: posing, lighting, filling up the background, small expressions - and then redoing that over and over for each render.

Ocean's greatest strength is also his greatest weakness: he's a perfectionist. You'll never catch some character's fingers in the background clipping into their body; he's going over each render with a fine-toothed comb. The trade-off of this, is of course, time. Personally I don't mind a bit of imperfections if the updates come faster from a dev, but that's me.

I think we could get perfection with a normal release feature. He just need to go back to one chapter release. He has now multiple chapters ready, but he doesn't want to release them, he wants to release all of them at the same time, if he releases one chapter when he has ready one chapter then we could be playing now.

I like how perfectionist is he tbh, I'm not going to compare Ocean with Rockstar, of course, but it's something similar. Some people complain about the sick details GTA6 is going to have, and without those details we could be playing it by now and blah blah blah, but those sick and small details are what makes Rockstar and his games unique... So, something similar with Ocean. He can be a perfectionist, he just need to have a real release date schedule.

'Vanishes'?

What are you on bro? Ocean's still on his discord, SS, Steam, and the most recent devlog was uploaded here a week ago, after the abandoned tag.

You might want to look outside this forum once in a while to check the weather. :coffee::sneaky:

Yeah the payment processors are getting out of hand. Unless a competitor arises that does not censor content it'll only change if we get a law that says they can't decline transactions unless they have proof that it involves a crime. They haven't annoyed anyone with enough money to fight them yet though. Nobody wants their bank to be the morality police. I like this thing that is not illegal and I want to buy it so mind your own business. I don't care if you don't like it.

Don't think anyone will be going up agaist those, but in 10 to 20 years cryptho may be more popular.

That's fair. But like I said (at the moment and for quite some time now) SS seems like a safe-haven for most game devs no matter the spiciness. Also I think targeting a single personal website seems much less likely than targeting a big platform. I'm no game dev though.


Yeah guess that could be a problem. No idea how that works. Maybe he could make them "donations" instead of "purchases"? No clue.

Will also shut up and stop posting now.

By doing so he would risk both games losen all of their income

Summer's Gone is only abandoned according to F95 rules!
18 monts without releasing a new episode, chapter, whatever = abandoned tag

But like BobTheDuck wrote in his post: Ocean's still active on his Discord, SS, Steam, and the most recent devlog was uploaded here a week ago.

Yeah, guys, it's been only 18 months since last update and even then it was rework of previous chapters. Have some patience mmkay? if you can't wait for 2 years for a single update you don't deserve to be called a fan. Some people, amrite?

Exactly, the game isn't abandoned. And what's the hurry about? Ocean probably still has 40-50 years of life left, and his children and grandchildren can take over in the future. Just have some patience.

Others have already explained. Yes, he's taking way too long, but your assumption that he closed up shop because a pirate forum slapped a tag on the game's thread, while he has another game that is not listed as abandoned...now we have schrödinger's Ocean, able to be abandoned and not abandoned at the same time. Magical!

He'll update WiaB next then? Sweet!

As far as abandoned, Ocean left this forum years ago, so I doubt he considers what we talk about behind his back as anything other than noise. Schrödinger's noise at that I guess, the sound of one hand fapping to non existant SG lewd scenes that might or might not happen?

I'm just being generally silly, not aimed at you btw.

This is what has happened, it has not been abandoned and apparently it is still in development, let's hope it comes out before gta6 or at least before mid-2026
Another thing is that apparently on steam it is already for wishlist according to his Twitter
