With the whole 2 game thing, it's important to note that he didn't intend to make 2 games at the same time by himself. Originally, one of his friends was the main dev of Summer's Gone, but they had problems rendering the game as they were both slow and OL didn't like the quality, so OL took over and reworked that game's renders and his friend left the project.
That actually leads me to this, WIAB and SG both look excellent, but OL is probably too much of a perfectionist for his own good. That's probably why it's been on 99% so long and the game is being reworked after this update is released and why he has tinkered with the art so much. He has actually talked about this before I think, if he can do better, he'll always try to do that regardless of how long it takes.
It didn't work the first time, but he should consider finding some helpers. It's really hard to make 2 games at once, especially high quality ones. Mr.Dots is the only one I can think of that does it consistently well, and he has an army of rendering machines and 2 writers.

Just consider how far WIAB is now, it makes perfect sense to have a second project to work on. You can't expect to keep supporters if you finish your only game, then start writing a new one and release the first demo half a year later.
Mr. Dots can do this because he has more than three times the amount of supporters. Even if all his supporters give him $1 each, he'd have the money to pay for writers and if he saves up for a few months he could buy another PC for rendering.
Like I said; Passion, strength, power, victory and money! What Oceanlab needs are more supporters. Being a perfectionist at the beginning will definitely hold things back, but having a game poor in content will too. With some patience, and a fully finished WIAB, it'll only look good on his Patreon résumé.

You only get reported if you're being an idiot, if you can't see that then you've learned nothingI cant speak much else I would be reported again (LOL). But man, lying in your own pocket that gets you far
The only weak minded person is the one who's believing it's not a milking
The logic seems kind of fuzzy here for me. Because I’ve seen plenty of successful devs hold off starting another project until their first is at least nearing the end of its cycle.
Comparatively, WIAB is supposed to be many many chapters long that makes up multiple “seasons”, but right now WIAB is on its 5th episode of its first season, so there’s really no fear of finishing the first game any time soon and it’s not really a necessity to try and start up another to swap the support base over to.
And even if you discard all of that, there’s the fact that Summer’s Gone doesn’t need a demo...it already exists, if we go by Ocean, he’s already written the entire game. There’d be no great delay. But even if that wasn’t the case...Oceans got a fair amount of support right now, and that’s with no new release of WIAB in what? 7 months? 8? If they’re willing to wait that long with nothing then you’d think they’d be wait as long for the next project.
Yeah, I'd much rather that OL put one of them on hold and focus on the other until done (my bias is that I would like it if the focus was on Summer's Gone until complete - as it seems like it will be a shorter project) rather than try to bounce between them. Especially if OL is a perfectionist that has a hard time releasing anything that isn't 100% the best he can do. By the time these two games are done we might be suffering from a zombie plague and fighting them off with lasers.
I love both these games but I want more and sooner than later.

I dont know I tried melody and this other daughter game of him and in a lot of decission you only had 2 choices and if you choice the wrong one the game over screen was their so you actually only had one choice in a VISUAL NOVEL and it was hardcore vanilla romantic ofc if you like it that way its the perfect game for you but where it all began has more choices a better story more interisting cheracters and a varitey of kinks so for me its miles better than mr.dot games.where it all began feels like a game for adults and his games are more like real life.

as i said before, i don't really have a favourite game. i guess the most games have some weaknesses and something unique, or atleast something better than other games. but let's keep it simple... it is, what it is... in the end it's all about to fuck your entire family or something pretty similar.
you're right, where it all began feels more immersive and more complex, as you said, it's question of taste.
that's all good, it really is, but calling mr. dots games garbage, it's just stupid.
i dunno how big that team is, but he brings frequently updates and i see in terms of rendering, a lot improvements
over his previos games.
