The only time he did is when he was freed by Bella - he comments that her boob slipped out and she smiles at this, probably realising that he's beginning to notice her.

This is a favorite moment of mine in CH 4. How many male MC's would treat Bella with the care that he shows here.

He lets her know that her breast is showing, then, as they kiss, he gently covers her up versus copping a feel.

Bella Knows that the MC is not like so many other guys and I bet this is something that will come out when Bella tries to explain why the MC is different to Ayua (and perhaps Nadia, if they are that close).

I don't know if we will get any 3rd party POV for this, but it could be done.

Amber could accidentally overhear Bella sharing this with Ayua over the phone and I think that this would please Amber as a mom and intrigue her as his therapist.

There is a chance to get some great back story on what Bella is feeling about the MC from the next therapy session with Amber when she drops a few hints about the positive impact he and Bella seem to be having on each other. I think that Amber telling the MC that Bella likes yellow flowers was a very nice way of letting the MC know that Amber is an ally, so long as he and Bella are good for each other.

Hello,

So... Chapter 4.5 Beta is pretty much completely done. It will release in two days (25th of November.) for the Autumn tier. (It will drop to the lower tier a few days later. (Consider waiting 'til the 1st of December, so Patreon doesn't charge you twice.))

Also, the phone will be fully implemented in Chapter 5.

I ran into some licensing issues (and had to drop a coder), so I couldn't complete it in time.

But thanks to Messe, you can expect a really smooth, and good-looking phone in Chapter 5. In Chapter 4.5, you will see some (undated now) snippets of the phone.

Until then.

Oh, I wouldn't agree that he didn't manipulate her. He manipulated her here and there by playing on her arrogance, anger and hidden insecurity. Hell, he even got close to her, by provoking her into an outburst of anger and he let her release her trapped emotions.

I don't think that I would call this manipulating, more like some teasing or playing...

Well, I think the line between these things is quite thin. For example, MC baited Zara to become his trainer by teasing her and she fell for it, even fully aware of what he was doing. Because he did it right, he get her in the right mood before, he was sincere with her, she just couldn't refuse. But I would say that the best proof is MC's own thoughts. He is always cold and calculating, thinks ahead how he can use any information to manipulate people. Bella blurted out that she was eavesdropping on her mom's therapy sessions - MC had already evaluated this information in regards to his benefit and how he could use it in the future. Maya asked him to look after Vic, now she owes him (and he will take advantage of this when coming up with a stupid plan with Bella). Anyone can find more examples of his manipulative behaviour toward people even those who are very close to him. I'm not saying that he always behaves like this, but manipulativeness is one of his character traits, maybe he does it sometimes unconsciously.

I know it's only few days to be available on Patreon, but no info whatever yet regards to official release on Steam? :unsure:
I'm pretty sure he mentioned it in previous dev blog and I've searching already through entire it off record database if anything comes up, nada.

Even it decision to make it bundles (Ch1+Ch2) like any VN out there, then I'm pretty sure it's going to be part of bundle you would have to purchase it separately then.

I can't believe Ocean doesn't have at least 5.000 patrons on patreon, his games have the best renders ever made.

My guess would be because he's working on 2 games at once. Which means Summer's Gone releases take a bit longer than most people would prefer. That and he has separate Patreon's for both games. I know he's said he needs to have multiple projects going on at once before, for him not to go crazy making the same thing every day. It's just most people love this game a lot more than WiAB. Just a guess. Could be wrong.

Guess I will be waiting for Ch5 full. Half chapter updates are waaay too short. Sucks to wait one year though as I did with ch4.
