i was talking overall
not involved in Ocean's games enough to point something out, after all the time
It was not my intention to offend you directly or mean you explicit. I have used your qoute just for the context of all. :)

It would be interesting to know if developers when starting a VN have a whole story mapped out or they just make it up as they go along. I would have thought it would be better to do the former but I rarely see that here (or it's not obvious they have a plan!)

For me, unless there was some significant technical flaws in an earlier release, "reworking" is code for " I have ran out of ideas but want to keep milking my Patreons".

I absolutely get and appreciate that the vast majority of devs do this as a hobby and not as a career and very few people are in a position to work on a project for years and then release a final version in 1 go - you clearly get more income by releasing in stages (bit like early access games on Steam).

I just wish there was a bit more honesty about where the dev is at with their thinking - they earn so much good will over the months/years then some seem content to burn all that in a short space of time for a few $$.

Oceanlab is clearly a very talented artist and I do appreciate good visuals, but give me a compelling story over a shiny VN with no substance any day of the week.
The pre-reworked version of this game lands squarely in the middle of the "significant technical flaws" category. The reasons for the rework is well known, some circumstantial but mostly technical.

And in fact the rework is cleaning up a mess of a story and creating a more compelling one.

Like others have said, go play the original to see for yourself. I dare you to do that and then come back and say the rework wasn't necessary. :p

Great comment buddy this is something I always ask myself today I'm 25 years old so it's hard to know how old I will be when this finally happens. :KEK:

These game devs found the perfect way to milk the money off supporters.

1- Start a game with hardworking good story
2- Don't finish it
3- Remake it
4- People mad ? release 10 mins gameplay so they can shut the fuck up
5- Remake it again

That way, early patreons will pay for both versions and the neat trick : Hype them with some sexy previews to milk em even more. That's why I stopped supporting games. Who is more creative on how to milk people. The new trend for these devs.

If you had ever played the Ch1 from WIAB you would notice that is has was more playtime than 10 minutes. To be fair, ctrl skipping could be 10 minutes, but its not the devs fault if his players lack the abilty to read - or understand the read words ...

Yeah I’m not really a fan of how the MCs look in these games. The one in this game looks like Jason Momoa and Daario Naharis from A Song of Ice and Fire got stuck in a matter transporter together.

According to the last log he expected to finish the renders around tomorrow, but he's going on vacation from 21th to 28th so expect the release at the beginning of september.

I haven't played the original version of this but as far as the reworked Ch.1 goes I absolutely love it.
All I can say about the MC is oh boy, is he ripped...and um yeah, he makes for some nice eye candy :whistle:
I love Miru's looks and character, she's really sweet. I went for the open relationship option and felt bad for saying it!
SG is probably my favorite but this is coming close if it continues like this. Hope an update comes soon.
