There is a dev log just posted a page or two back..Hello, I have not been able to follow the thread lately, has the cause of the delay been explained? the last I heard was that Cap3 was coming out at the end of November or early December....
Still 2 routes of cake's game, but since I was away I was thinking I will fo' sure come back to this thread to a dl link, sorco2003 what do you have to say in your defense?There is a dev log just posted a page or two back..
That the cake´s game came out. I don't know, think about it.Still 2 routes of cake's game, but since I was away I was thinking I will fo' sure come back to this thread to a dl link, sorco2003 what do you have to say in your defense?
If that's what the definition is here, I'll bow out embarrassed. But saying something is kinetic when it is static is a misuse of the term kinetic in the first place. Language adapts I guess, a rose by any other name is an elephant?That's not what kinetic novel means in the VN space though, by misusing the term you've introduced some confusion into the point you're making.
A kinetic novel is a VN with literally no choices:
f95 tag: Kinetic Novel [Used when a visual novel style game presents the player with no choices.]
You must be registered to see the links: A kinetic novel is a VN that does not present the "player" with any choices at all; they simply read through a single unbranching story.
So a kinetic novel is very much a comic in essence. Neither WIAB or SG are kinetic novels.
What are you confused about? You've been here long enough to know that you can't trust a word they say. There are only a few exceptions. Oceanlab is just another dev in a long line people who love to bend the truth. There are no consequences to it so they will keep doing it. He probably congratulated himself for being such a hard worker when he wrote the lines about McD. Then he jerked off to it and the post nut clarity made him realise he can't do anything of what he just posted. Meh, who cares. I'll get my money. Here are some boring renders as collateral. It's all about that steam cash now.I still dont understand the vargue language of the last SG post (no hate) I mean he said polish is done and testers dont need more than a day because the update is straight foward but in the last SG post he talks about upcoming days (which can mean anything) and also soon before chirstmas?? but I tought that the game is already at the testers that wont need longer than a dayso i am confused
Have a look at the VNDB link, it explains why kinetic is used in this context (not just at f95).If that's what the definition is here, I'll bow out embarrassed.

I'll accept that logic, even if it triggers me despite my frequent typos. Ignore my incorrect use of the term. I still stand by my opinion of the way the plot structure will likely go, and how very few novels actually offer the marketed "meaningful choices" regardless of terminology. It's at least something to do while waiting for CH3 to appearHave a look at the VNDB link, it explains why kinetic is used in this context (not just at f95).
I mean ocean is normaly trustworthy so i dont get the hate but I still dont understand why he cant give a date if he is already finished and the game has been tested I mean just be honest and say I wait for the router to come or there are bugs no idea what happend but I would just communicate thatWhat are you confused about?

While I entirely agree the name Kinetic Novel is a confusing misnomer (I fell for the same confusion many many suns and moons ago too), it's not just the definition here. It's the de-facto definition for the sub-genre of VN with no choices.If that's what the definition is here, I'll bow out embarrassed.

If I manage to keep that as my biggest faux pas here I guess I'll consider myself luckyWhile I entirely agree the name Kinetic Novel is a confusing misnomer (I fell for the same confusion many many suns and moons ago too), it's not just the definition here.

It shows good temperament when one can do a public mea culpa, unlike some that doubles down on a proven mistake...If I manage to keep that as my biggest faux pas here I guess I'll consider myself lucky
I'd consider it a very non-issue, especially since you've been very cordial about it. There are a lot that get super aggro over nothing, or something that's been politely explained, even just in this thread. Plus, I've said much dumber things here, so I'd say you're good.If I manage to keep that as my biggest faux pas here I guess I'll consider myself lucky
He doesn't try to make his work perfect. Neither is Ocean working 365 days, 7/7, 24/24 to deliver an update of one hour by year. He is just doing the strict minimum because there's no insentive for him to work. Whether, he delivers one update each month/3 months/6 months/year. His pigeons are still wasting the same amount of money on his dead project.Just think about the people who're investing in this game.
Whatever jokes aside, I believe this is the end, it's not funny anymore.
This guy tries to make his work so perfect that he forgot he lives in real world which is bound by time.
Either he's in a serious trouble or he's just something else
Was good till it lasted
Ha, the merest hint of a delay and all the doomsayers immediately come out of the woodwork...Let these people smoke their copium.
It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.
To be fair no he doesn't. He gets donations to help development...you're buying nothing.Your argument is pathetic.
I could write a monologue to explain this (if you want I can write one for you in a private message), but I'll save my time saying only ONE point between many:
He get PAID to do this product, people have the right to ask a deliver. Even the ones who don't pay, since dev himself makes his release public (free product these days means free advertising for possible financial support).
If the dev close patreon and everything and starts to work on the game without making a single cent with it, I would totaly agree with you. But at the moment someone sell something, he NEED to deliver, and if he don't, he SHOULD be criticized.
Being like a drug addict is defending someone/a company selling lies while getting money from clients/supporters.

You were going good till you decided to mention a fetish for no apparent reason, people are complaining about the update right now, not NTR.Ha, the merest hint of a delay and all the doomsayers immediately come out of the woodwork...
The difference between them and me?
If, God forbid, Ocean shut up shop and quit next year, I would likely acknowledge that the doomsayers called it, WHEREAS...
If Ocean is still chugging out updates for SG/WIAB in a couple of years, as he's pretty much done since 2021, doomsayers will still be shitposting about him and predicting the imminent demise of both projects.
PS - I have no skin in this game financially. Ocean said SG Beta in October (DONE), WIAB in November/December, and SG Full in December/January. December (and January) ain't over yet... so who's been fooled?
...and, yeah, I know you have a bone to pick with Ocean 'cause the reworked WIAB doesn't feature the same amount of NTR as the original. Post histories reveal what users hate on Ocean because reworks took away their candy, no matter how much they try to disguise their disappointment as something else.
