I know this is being reworked and I loved the old version tbh, but does the new Ch1 just have about the same amount of content as the old one?
Trying to figure if its best to wait a few updates for content or no.
The actual version ends with the travel after Williams arival on Lieas house and the introducing of all family members - beside Katie. So roughly the same spot like in the old version, with a little interlude and a conversation with a new character after a bar visit. All in all, quite a successful rework.

Go ahead and play. It is kind of like the beginning of the last game had the quality it had toward the end. Some elements of the story have changed but it comprises of the phone call, the night before, and the homecoming scenes.

It certainly won't take that long.

Update 1-4 had a total of around 3000 renders. That's not much. Update 0.5 had 2300 alone.

I will be able to do the complete rework with animations etc. in 3-5 months. (And I am not counting in the RIG update in June. If I get the new PC, it won't take longer than 2-4 months.)
2 years later...

My work was much slower in the past, true.

2020-2021: (11 months for Ch3 SG - 1800 renders + 10k animation frames + Bad mental health - Work/Life balance)
Now: (Ch4 SG - 6 months - 2100+ renders + 16k animation frames.)
Now: (Ch2 WiAB 4 months - 700 renders + 3000 animation frames.)

While improving quality and learning/experimenting with new Software on the side.
from 5300 renders per 2-4 month to 3700 renders per 4 month

from 5300 renders per 2-4 month to 3700 renders per 4 month
Update 1 - 5 took 14 months (Counted in the two months I needed for 0.1)
Animation renders were counted in, too. (0.5 had 1700 stills + 600 animation).

From 5300 low-quality renders per 14 months (~ 4000 stills + 1300 A-Frames) to 21.800 high-quality renders per 4-6 months. (2800+ stills and 19000 A-Frames.)

I think you can do the math...


And said Rework I'm talking about up there is the one we have right now... Obviously, it took a lot longer than what I estimated/said in 2020... :rolleyes:

Chapter 6 was planned as an update and the first reworked Chapter... (Old plan)
This means, back in Feb 2020, it was still the plan to release Chapter 6... And then do 1-5 as Ch6 should flawlessly blend in.


Then Ch6 was released in May 2020... but sometime after July I changed my mind and wanted a complete rework. (The one we have now.)
First I tried it in Blender... which got scrapped and never released as Blender had too many technical problems... and now we have this one...

But the other dude thinks there was a rework between .3/.4...

And about reworking and improvement
You've posted the same screenshot as I did... Please read the thread before answering.

There would be no reason to hide some ominous rework... And WiAB will never be remade again. The art is now good and the story has been mapped out.


The last proof I will give... Even though the other side has provided zero evidence.

I don't have anything earlier... I deleted a lot of the old stuff last year... Never thought I'd need it.

Go download old .6 and check if those boys are still in the game...
There should also be some old Walkthroughs in the thread... And they will look all look the same...



everything prior to ep5-ep6 looked looked like shit(to me at least), hard to believe it was remade

also, making corrections in the story is not rework
Yup, would've been a damn pointless rework.

He's not saying I made corrections... He's saying I restarted the entire game after .3/.4.



But now I'm done with the topic...
If that dude keeps posting this shit without even considering anything I said and providing proof... I'll just report his BS from now on.




To those Dana lovers... I made a few more adjustments to her... I always let characters marinate a bit and then get back to them.
Dana is a damn beauty now... Be prepared for her.

I really enjoyed the game before the rework or whatever it is being referred to and I am liking where this game is heading, also the renders are looking so much better than they originally did (honestly some models are amazing,) but I don't suppose there could be an option added in the game where I never have to see the MCs face I find him oddly repulsive to look at.

Also having faceless MCs really helps with immersion.

I think this game has currently one of the most amazing graphics and scenes. And also a really professional and very engaging agmosphere. I just play the old version and its long and interesting there also.
I just really hope the devs stick to it and finish this version with that quality and dont put it to the cemetery of abandoned unfinished games.
Could become really one of the best VN's out there if the devs stuck to it.

9 times out of 10 when I have a post removed it is as a result of responding to some dipshit post that ends up getting removed for being abusive. The reason is usually just "cleanup of upstream posts" but in any case I have a few thoughts about the game as it stands at the moment.

We really don't have enough to judge how the game will ultimately work out, but to my mind, this reboot was clearly needed. I've discussed on the board before how uneven the quality of the previous version was. This isn't a knock against the dev but rather a recognition of the downside of constant improvement. People were ragequitting in the early chapters and remained ignorant of how much better the game got in nearly all facets. So redoing the beginning of the game was, in essence, unavoidable and the dev very clearly articulated why the original version of the game was not a sustainable project.

So at this point I prefer not to look back but rather look forward, and based on what we have thus far there is a lot to look forward to. So while I remain ignorant to what "it" happens to be or where it began, I'm looking forward to the next update. Whenever it happens to get here.

I hate to see censorship of any kind. Even more so in a forum of this nature. But there will always be whiners and people who somehow feel threatened. And others who feel the need to threaten others.

Fortunately, we are all here to enjoy this great game. Nobody likes to see re-work. But in the end, we are all playing works in development. There are bound to be changes, abrupt endings, and disappointments.

If half of the developers accomplished re-worked material at the level Ocean has created, this forum would be full of incredible VNs. (And I already loved and supported the original.) Seriously! Stunning work from this guy!
