Thanks for the screenshots. Again, none of this contradicts Ocean's assertion that he was the one "who originally wrote Summer's Gone but gave it to a friend so he could start his "own" game."
Thus, at the very least, Ocean developed the SG premise and story outline, which Regium then molded and fleshed out into his "own" story in Chapter 1.
Unless, you are publicly accusing a game developer of being a fraud and a liar.
Let me put it differently. When Ice Cube was part of NWA and heard the stories and was hanging out with the rest of the crew. He came up with lyrics and songs based on the lifestyle, Or so it was told or something along those lines ( don't know much about that but am using it as a mere example, He was accused of stealing their lifestyle or something and being fake again no idea what is or is not true, merely example here ).
Based on that assumption, did they write his songs or his lines ? or did they ghost write for him ?
My point is, that even if at the start he may have pitched him a summery, at the end of the day Regium his first chapter, his chapter 1 had nothing to do with Summers Gone, not even set in the same universe ( I have played the first release )
On chapter 2 it's release chapter 1 was reworked, you had to start over. Only way we can go about this, is if we can find that actual initial release and chapter 2 release and compare to the release 2.5Beta.
The only time there was a universal connection was when it was brought up by the both of them eventually after it was mentioned that he was brought in to help ( which was initially just for the rendering, as he himself said, nothing changes story wise, which did end up happening later )
So if you are asking me if I am saying that Ocean lied about being there from day 1 and being the writer of it, then yes I am saying that is a lie on the writing part.
There are only a few things I can take out of this in terms of scenario's
1. Regium had his own story and the story was changed when Ocean got on board hence yes he had a hand in its writing but that came later and not from day 1. Which means yes he did have a hand in its writing but only later on around Ch2. Which means it is a half truth.
2. Regium never existed in the first place, Which in that case he is fully correct and he did have a hand in writing since before SG's conception.
Which would be crazy, because guess who also had many computer issues after WiAB Ch4 release.
( not gonna do some conspiracy theory and such, just being a smart ass here but yeah Ocean also was having issues )
However crazy enough, him going so hard on that was only after Regium decided to completely stop and wanting nothing to do with the game. Which makes it very easy to be able to make claims left and right without of course anyone being able to ask or question anything. Now to be clear I got no hate for Ocean, He makes a good game has amazing renders and etc. But that does not change the fact that he made so many contradictions in terms of speeds of release and what not. Which is the only issues I got. But I have supported him for quite a bit on and off during his whole WiAB all the way to Ch6 until his full rework was announced. ( I rotated support for dev's every few months or so, for Ocean I stayed the longest )
But let me say it differently, based on everything I brought forward and stuff I did find, there is nothing showing that Ocean was part of it or there from the beginning either. So I could say that at the
very least Ocean decided to make it his own completely after it was abandoned by Regium.
EDIT: Also from the again from my first screenshot, Ocean's own words were " I was there when He ( Regium ) wrote the story for Summer's Gone and I influenced it too " Mean's Writer Regium. And later contradicts himself. Kind of weird isn't it ? Influence does not mean write, you give someone a direction or advice, but at the end of the day, the actions and the work are of the person putting in the work or creating it.
