It's in early access on Steam, correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like it's planned to stay in early access for 2 years.
Does this mean there will only be 1 update this year and another next year?

You ascertain this from where? Not being funny but I'm not on the discord often (despite people thinking I'm some rabid fanboy) and try my best to never use Steam, so be interesting to know wherte this information comes from. Confirmed or rumpour/opinion?
As for updates, you're guess is as good as anyones but I seriously doubt it, Ocean would lose what little goodwill from his fans he has left if he did that (and he doesn't have that much left, expecially from the WIAB fans who are pissed that SG gets all Ocean's attention).
That loss of goodwill would also include myself.

Hmmmm thanks.
I guess it would be helpful then to know how many chapters are planned for Season 1. *shrugs*

That seems about right though - 2 years, 4 chapters (4 0.5 chapters of the old counting) at ~2300 renders each. That's consistent with the pace Ocean's delivered for SG. 1 Season was supposed to have 10 chapters (5 in the old way of counting, so we're currently at a comparable 6?), so he's need to add 4 updates to steam once it's up. I'd imagine the first upload with with Ch3.5/7 (old vs new way of counting), and then he's estimating on his current speed rather than promising faster than a realistic timeline.

If it's approximately a 2 a year (every 6 months) that would be fine and expected I agree. If it drags out to 1 a year again...he will never get back the goodwill currently being afforded by the fans.
As I've said a few times here (and there), now, going forward over the next 12 months is how he should and will be judged now he has no excuses anymore.

I think what we're seeing is just being cautious of public statements. It's Ocean, so I don't hold my breath, he loves to over deliver in render count later than hoped. But it is good to see he's aiming for consistency so far.

Lol...ne'er a truer word spoken Bob.
Aye, this is what he needs for a few updates on both VN's.

I promised myself not to talk about wiab until the log or steam realese, but this almost counts as a log, right?
Your math, while reasonable doesn't close... the first three chapters count as three chapters even in the new way of naming them... getting to 10 from here still implies another 7 chapters, and that's not going to happen in just 2 years. Let's take SG as an example... chapter 1-2-3-3.5-4-4.5 and 5 for season one... here comes the catch, do these count as 10? If so you still owe me 3 Ocean!!!!!!

Internally Ocean's been counting the reworks as the 0.5 in SG. They don't make sense in WiaB in any regard, as it was rebuilt rather than reworked (semantics to show the difference I know). It's really a question of how to define a chapter. 2100+ renders in 6 months breaks down to 350+ a month for each game, so 700+ a month total, keeping both developed at the same pace as before regardless of the nomenclature used to describe them. If he's hoping for 8-10k of renders, he's saying business as original. I personally think the chapters are pretty arbitrary in SG S1 anyway, at least in WiaB they feel slightly clearer. I'm going to think of the as just the WIP updates until WiaB S1 drops, I don't need to keep count in that way.I promised myself not to talk about wiab until the log or steam realese, but this almost counts as a log, right?

If you want to look for the DEV log, and just do what the guy said there.
I'm not going to look for it because of laziness, but I think there will be a new dev log on the 5th, an new update,only Ocean knows

I think variety is the spice of life, so I like to see Leia's areolas nice and large. The second render with Miru seems to indicate that they're heading back to pick some stuff up and take care of business. I can't wait for the next update.

Miru beign jealous has it's logic to some extent but if she is allowed to do porn why the mc can't have sex with other women???

Because one is with his blessing, the other he gave explicit agreement not to.
Not difficult to understand. If they swing, Daphne is off-limits by agreement.
