VN Ren'Py Where It All Began [Ch. 3 Full] [Oceanlab]

[BobTheDuck]

How much is this intertwined with SG? Are there any visible connections at the current stage of the story?

- WiaB is set 20 years before in the same city, Wollust
- The main character is Willi Zane, who is part of the Zane family who run ZPR in WiaB
- Katie Zane is seen in both games so far, Leia and Willi Zane are mentioned in SG
- Ayua is a Zane, but we don't know 100% who the parents are, but a Zane. Most likely Willi and Miru.
- Zoey's brother Stefan is the person who Nika and Bella steal the heirloom from in SG
- Emilio the barber from SG is Leia's right hand in WiaB
- Sasha's mother Elena in SG was a lawyer in old pre rework WiaB, prosecuting William and was intended to be an LI I believe, and is part of the owner of the ZPR college (Petrova)
- Donna who stalks Willi is a Revera, also a family that runs ZPR in SG.

So pretty significant connections already.

So essentially, if one wants to have a more complete experience with SG, he should dip his toes into WiaB?

Yes.
SG is perfectly enjoyable on its own, but also playing WiaB adds depth, as well as being a fun game.

100%. It's also (in my opinion) the better game. Don't get me wrong though, I enjoy both, and I see them as one game. I don't know if the goal is to have a subconscious thread that carries through both, currently if feels like the baton is handed on and SG is the story of the current generation.

 

[Ali ibn Hassan]

Just to add to this:

The reason I find it interesting is that Donna is the FIRST person in the Oceanverse to get pregnant.

The cast were cloned by some evil scientist?

I know what you meant but it sounded a bit odd

Well, it's the far better story and to slightly correct Bob when he says this is set 20 years earlier than SG, I personally would reword it to that SG is set 20 years after this.

This story came first, was the first VN and was Ocean's first love. SG only got the love it got as for some reason, it's more financially viable/popular. But more popular does not always equate to better

 

[Jarulf]

100%. It's also (in my opinion) the better game.

Of course it is, it has Miru in it.
But seriously, I don't see why anyone would only play one of the games, they go together

 

[BobTheDuck]

Yeah, I realise after, considering some people's kinks, I shouldn't have said it like that either. More trying to point out 'Where it all began' in some cases is literally that.

 

[StingerWolf]

Ok, I will give it a try. I played WiaB before it was reworked, it seemed pretty generic to me back then, might have changed though.

I've only played the new version, so can't comment on the old one. But I definitely like the current game.

Hope you like it too

I think you're in for a treat.

Daphne didn't exist in the first version. I have high hopes for her character/story arc. Even though Katie is my main focus, having to chose between her and Miru is now actually hard.

It's also overall, higher quality rendering than SG. The reason I say this, is Ocean's in effect learned from SG because he updated it more frequently, then applied what he learnt to WiaB. So it's visually consistent in a way the SG hasn't been and still isn't.

We will see, thanks for your input.

Yes, SG Mila models are very inconsistent, so this will not be the case with WiaB, thanks.

And don't turn the music off

This is one of only 3 VN's I actually listen to the music.

 

[StingerWolf]

SG has very repetitive music, is it different in this one?

 

[Adhdclassic]

Just keep kitchen Mila the way she is.

 

[Rugerrell6]

The music is ok I liked the music that was in the first release before they changed it but its still pretty decent.

 

[Maviarab]

Everything is different and better here

 

[StingerWolf]

Everything is different and better here

Okok, I got fairly convinced, thanks guys!

 

[StingerWolf]

Will there be a Steam release of this too? Cause in all earnest, I am fairly disappointed, how SG turned out after Steam.
