Holy crap, I haven't played this game since before the remake, so I thought I'd drop in and check it out... and it's been almost a year since the last update? Yikes! Is it worth replaying and getting hyped? I mean, the bar has been raised in a year... just curious
ask again in 18 months.

Does anyone know what the "remake" was for? Was it programming or graphics?

From my experience, most of these "remakes" are just here to keep people donating with least amount of work. Where the developer doesn't make dramatic code changes, but simply re-render their existing scenes (again without any changes except for maybe some new texture and lighting packs that makes it LOOK different, but same angles positions and models).

So perhaps the devs feel tired of writing new scenes, and just leave their computer on overnight to render scenes and consider that "work" and "progress". Idk could be wrong.

Edit: I just scrolled a few pages up. I see the Left vs Right comparison. I was exactly on point. The dev is dicking around in blender, making the models slightly more lifelike. It's as if making the models a bit more prettier is worth it to on hold the game for 1 year and stop the plot entirely. Imagine of Oda of One Piece stopped drawing and said he's going to redraw Chapter 1 - 600 of One Piece to make it "up to standards". If the author means well, I feel sorry for his lack of awareness of what makes a product good. If he means bad, and is really milking people for money doing as little work as possible, then that's terrible.
It's more than just updating renders. They are redoing parts of the story as well. A big update to the intro of the game to give us more backstory as well.

The first update should be just around the corner according to the dev. Although he did say that last month so I don't really know when it's coming out. But could be this month who knows. I am excited.

I've never played this game,
Should I play it now or wait for the remake?
I would say play it now, surely it sucks with a game that is on hold / possibly abandoned but there is enough content to enjoy the game and it is one hell of a game, just unfinished. If you are running dry on games, assuming that is possible, then go for it!

the game is not over? I thought it was a remake of a finished game.
So why is a remake being made?

Rewriting the story so it actually make sense, narrow the focus to provide more depth instead of width and improve overall quality. Dev was a newbie when he started and a lot of original decisions make no sense for what he really wants to do.

jesus so many ocean haters :cry::cry::cry:if you look at episode 1 where it all began and at summer is gone last episode you can see that he made a HUGE jump in quality off story writting and renders so he maybe is not happy with his work so if he would work on episode 7 and would always think about what could I do better and be unhappy with his episodes 1-5 he could never fully focuse on episode 7 and I prefer a artist that is happy with his work and has a free head so I will prefer too wait. It will be worth I trust him in terms off story connections and a lot of new people will come in hope no ntr cry guys:cry:He has high goals I prefer a artist that dreams big and try too improve everyday too make a realistic game than an artist that just sit back and never imrpoves and just deliver the normal porno game that every game on this site has(harem,every girl likes MC dosent matter what you do,other males act weird or dont exist, MC has monster pipi....) his games are special in terms of realistic realtionships, male cheracters, female cheracters, realism kinks and so on.

True the demo ending in chapter 6 showed how much this developer grown since chapter 1 every chapter became better then previous one etc..

I just finished playing this game, and I can say nothing really, but applaud...One hell of a job, Ocean! You definitely know how to ace everything a VN should have...a great story, great artwork and everything!

Now I know where the godly amazing job of SG comes from...

You are the man!

I hate being too critical because I have no idea of how much it consumes to make such a VN...of course some things need to be worked on, like receiving a pic from Gina and talking about it later after spending the night with Katie at the camp and never picking up the phone that night, but oh well...you have my trust!

Even with minor things to fix, this is one hell of a job!

Not hating to be critical of the decision to rework the game...a game that I (and others) loved (and I gave it a 5-star review). This is OceanLab's prerogative, but nobody has to like it either.

There's a balance here. Deliver a good game with excellent visuals and a good story...or take more years to deliver the "perfect" story and visuals. I think most people would have been happy with the first option considering how well it was received.

Ocean is easily one of the best developers artistically and history wise speaking, but let's be real, his time of updates are unsustainable and by his records the last to years there is no reason to not believe that the remake will done by 2026 or 2027 and by that date Mr. Dots will be finishing last chapter of Dating my Granddaughter or something. I trust that eventually this will be solved and wish the best to Ocean, but in all honesty, I don't think this is sustainable.
