Problem now, the War including how Really Stupid the EU & Nato are with the Sanctions. So power bills will rise and rise. There are times like this that i feel really ashamed that i live in the EU too and our Braindead Politics.
Oh. What a pity. In that case, you should hope that the Russian Federation occupies Ukraine and kills all Ukrainians. Then you can elect a government (of the leftist communists, i guess ) that will again make peace with Russia and lift sanctions in exchange for cheap energy

Berlin believes that the threat of Russian gas supplies being cut off is now imminent. To wean itself off Russian gas, Germany needs time, much more than for oil or coal, about two years.
And because Moscow's new demands for payment of deliveries in rubles have been rejected by the G7, time may be running out and the German Minister of Economics has just activated level 1 of his emergency plan.
They are getting used to the idea of going to level 3, which is not so unlikely. Same for other countries. Damn, I hope Ocean's gas debt hasn't exploded...

This is the reason I check AVN threads. Geopolitics discussion.
Sure, but let's delete on-topic waifu wars instead.
Yea let's avoid politics at all costs. What color are Bella eyes they seem to look differently depending on the scene or maybe I'm just colorblind idk

considering SG ch3.5 (first version) was launched around July 30th, 2021, im sure there are few more big events since that time...in mid August 0.35full was released. just two more months and there shall be SG "latest update anniversary".

this game is great, WIAB also is very good game, yet neither of them will be finished ever, as it has been mentioned numerous times already (one more time never hurts though:BootyTime:)
my only hope is to finally see (around year 2025-6, if no WW3 or something), some real "action" in SG (mc with any fem character, hell even some random hooker would do)...i do appreciate good story with slow relationship build, accompanied with beautiful renders and captivating atmosphere. yet after one-chapter-per-year release schedule for a game that should have 30 chapters, im inclined to accordingly adjust my preferences a bit:HideThePain:

yup he mentioned once about his power bills being really high. his current investment plans is software and music then a (or another) RTX 3090 or A6000 so thinking about hiring another member is way far
hopefully after blender switch (chapter 5 :rolleyes:long way) freelancers might help in speeding up.

taxes:oops: takin up quite a bite in there

Eh, the trends are pretty spiky. My main concern was burnout and lack of interest. I was just worried about whether or not Ocean will stay developing one game for 10+ years. How many games have you break the 10 year development period? How many of those were abandoned?


I'm only saying this because I saw that Ocean loses tens of patrons each month, even with the ones that sub back. This month he lost more than 40 patrons.

For fucks sake, I'm not mad about the development cycle. Can you guys shut the fuck up with your moral grandstanding "Oh if you don't like it, then support the dev on Patreon" That's not even what I was talking about. Every single one of my favourite games only release updates once a year. I don't know how you managed to bring that up.

all games take time to make. hell call of duty that is almost the same fawking game every god damn year. ( kinda ) if that was made by 1 person or like Fifa and its litterly almost the same even that would take years for 1 guy to do himself.
i will say tho that him making 2 games at a time might be too much. ofc its nice to have ideas going and if u have a great idea but need 2-4 years to finish what ur alredy doing ur passion/ burn for that idea might die/gone. but hey i think after his chapter 4 + some luck he might strike 25-50 more patreon. i never been much of a fan of patreon . but i always buy the games when they go on steam. even if i alredy played it. and wont replay. and i know i know . steam takes a big cut. but i like to have the game litterly owned and not just a file.

I just hope it helps with his animations. The one where he punches the guy is... passable. BaDiK's animation was better

Blender will be an improvement not only because of the software being more flexible but also because of the possibility to mix and create rich texture maps and materials that will be part of specific scene visuals. However, at first it will be more challenging and + time consuming to create animations. There is also a huge library with fantastic PBR materials, normal maps, HDRI maps, etc.
