I always thought the Miru aesthetic was just a parallel of how she is also basically the ugliest personality in the VN. Agree though, not a huge fan of reworks in general, particularly this early in a project (in terms of content). I appreciate when a creator is improving their craft throughout a project. They may not be proud of their older work any more but I think it's best for all involved to just finish projects and make the next ones even more exceptional rather than leaving something in development hell.

F*ck me, this cliffhanger is a crime.
The dev works on two games and I hope he doesn't get burned out.
Are there any signs of a big update ?
Edit: NVM, I just read some comments before me.

Yeah I didn't mean it's just about the models, only mentioned that cuz the argument I was responding to was about Miru being the worst looking character in the VN.
Still it is about render quality, if it was a simple story revamp he could just re-use at least 50% of old renders and render out the rest using already existing models and modified scenes.
Which would be much faster and would still satisfy the people supporting him and bring in a lot of new support.
As I said I'm not against it in this case because I know the Ol will do an amazing job, however I think there are other things he should be focused on as well. Like keeping the project alive.

If I remember right, though, we will no longer control Miru in the remake.
The main reason was not her looks, but the fact that she starts, barely have any interaction with MC and then disappears. And the interaction that she did have did not show any highlights. She just acted like a sex addicted girl that did not care a shit about MC neither was interesting having around. New Miru, besides being a goddess, is supposed to be shown in a way better light.
This. If I remember correctly, Ocean mentioned that new WIAB will be smaller in comparison but way better focused. The game is going to feel extremely different. He mentioned he did a lot of the original decisions by following polls on patreon and trying to give the supporters what they wanted instead of telling the story he wanted. That is out. We are going to see full Ocean.

Between Summers Gone and WIAB Ocean pulls in around $4070 or so a month. Now that's a pretty good level of support for a hobby, but given hardware and license costs, it probably merely makes pursuing the games possible. My point is that Ocean doesn't produce these games as a product. These games are created for Ocean's personal enjoyment. If you're unhappy with how time and resources are spent on the game stop supporting it. Otherwise, realize that we consume a game in progress and have little impact on how time is spent to address the developer's desire to change it.

Indeed I had a conversation with him about licenses and such. He is really looking into making the best AVN it can be. Like seriously high quality product beyond expectations.
Ohh, by the way, those number he is making are new. After last SG chapter 3 was released. Before, SG was making less that WIAB.
Here are his post in SG's thread

I couldn't agree more. Given the storylines behind SG and WIAB the soundtrack adds more "feeling" to a specific scene/ scenario. In SG the scene with Bella sitting half naked on the side of her bed wouldn't have stirred as much emotion if Ocean had used 70s banjo porn music in place of the Vesky track used. Just my 2.5c worth.
So to be clear I love his work. Period.
I guess the point I was trying to make is that we're watching snapshots of his creative process while it's happening. No one whether pirate or patron can dictate how that happens. There are any number of scammers around here. Ocean is not among them. I suspect, that while he has plans for both games, even he doesn't truly know how either story will ultimately unfold. We, his audience, will find out over time.

A triangle with the two sisters is fantastic news if true. The only thing I can imagine that would be better is Katie and the mom. Milk truck Mommy and little sister are always my main targets.

Yeah, unfortunately that wont happen. You can persue a solo romantic relationship with the mother in later updates though.
Lovely stuff. Fantastic renders and story. Mixed feelings that new updates are on hold for the rework if I'm not mistaken as I'm looking forward to the next chapter, but Ocean knows what's best. It seems Miru is getting a complete overhaul, now I would have a hard time dumping her. Funny thing, I went from pursuing the story to Dana simply because she has the same hairstyle and some semblance, at least for me, with Bella of SummersGone, and I like their interaction on the camping trip then seeing her give in to temptation at ch6, might be because of lingering feelings for MC or sexual frustration or both. Plus she's a strong independent woman vibe with submissive fetish and I want to dominate so we take those
Dont, It's a great game and I would encourage you to try it without the need of synopsis, but honestly you will be left waiting(and if you are like me, a it will be frustrating) a few months without knowing when the release will be and the next update contains the remake of the first chapter with super improved renders and story developement, I would suggest anybody of thinking on trying this game to wait until next release.
A bit context, the developer is one of the bests in quality terms and is perfectionist and overachiever, so the content expansion is painfully slow, but you will be left impressed. Next update will probably come in a few months.

P.S: Message edited by the staff, memes are not allowed, you really want to make the forum a boring place! . This is not a meme, I have already explained it a thousand times, I use gifs as a more expressive way to show my thoughts here, gentlemen moderators think a bit, only text sometimes becomes something boring, and sometimes with a GIF or an image (not a meme) you can express much more than with words.
