He is not going to fully abandon it, so the alternative is having two unfinished games by that time and that's even worse lol.

Ocean write a new post on SG Patreon. 96 GB VRAM grafic would satisfy him and speed up the work.
Jesus, 96 GB ...

Check on the Summer's Gone thread, a few pages back you should find his Patreon post that he uploaded yesterday.

Ah. 96gb VRAM lmao
Can't wait for him to get his hands on the quantum computer. This is fucking hilarious. How much do Philly or DPK have?
Well, given this, DPK wields at least 8*24=192 GB of VRAM. Rendering complex scenes with many characters and lights does take enormous amounts of VRAM.

I wouldn't be surprised if they had the same or even more. I'm sure DPK is the one that has the most powerful ones given his support on Patreon, but SG and WIAB have similar if not higher quality renders and environments than BaDIK, and he's doing them in a lot less powerful hardware, so I assume he's gonna need all the VRAM he can get.

According to estimates, Phili has three times more patreon income, DPC has 12000 patreons more... I must firmly believe that they have far superior equipment to Ocean. Which shows what a great developer Ocean is, his quality not only rivals, but often surpasses them.

Yeah his renders are better but at this point I'd just rather have content over renders that look like they belong in art galleries. But then again this is not my game and neither am I paying for it so eh.

You are absolutely right, content over renders every time. Even more so when we talk about games/vn...

I completely disagree. If you want more content, you already have dozens of mediocre games on this site that pump out updates pretty often.
What makes Ocean's games stand out from the others are the quality of the renders. And you can't rush quality, especially as a one man army. And honestly, his update frequency isn't that slow compared to other VNs that I know (and those look worse).
Ocean is a very underrated artist, he should be at the top along with the other adult devs on Patreon. He works extraordinarily well (and keeps getting better) with what he has, and you gotta give him props for that.

ok, but I haven't received any Ocean quality in WIAB for two years... very nice renders with zero content.

First of all, the last WIAB was just over a year ago, not two. Second of all, he's reworking the game with a better narrative and way better renders, so I don't see a problem with that. And third of all, he's making another fantastic game that received two huge updates this year. So what's your point?

I thought this was the WIAB thread, sorry I was wrong, so I have to play SG only? If you like it and want to defend it, go ahead, I'm not going to stop you, but don't want to run me off with those arguments.

Yeah, completely ignore my two other points just so you can continue on with your bullshit narrative. Good one.

ohhhh bullshit narrative, good one. In the meantime, I am still waiting for new content from WIAB.

What are you, his PR agent?
Update frequency isn't that bad? No way this is not satire. Bruh!
Also we can talk about quality when there's a game. There's no game. Please don't overhype him. Ocean is good but you're pretending like he's the second coming of Jesus or something.

There is no game? Wait a second, what thread is this? Is this thread about the Mona Lisa?
We can't talk about the quality? Yeah you are right, he hasn't shown his game development skills in like forever... Oh wait, he just dropped an update of his other game like a week ago, maybe I should check it out.
Update frequency is bad? If you think 6/7 months per update is so bad that what I said was satire, give me an example of a dev that releases them so much faster with equal or better quality AND same amount of renders. I know you are gonna think of PinkCake or Philly but those guys make much more money and have been making games for a longer time, so it wouldn't be a fair comparison (and I still think Ocean's renders look better).
Can't deny the quality, but it's 6/7 month for half a chapter, so yes it's bad frequency.

It may be half a chapter but it has ~1400 renders and cinematics. So it might as well be a huge ass update.
Go ahead, tell me. You guys keep saying it's bad frequency but you aren't basing it on anything.
