Absolutely feasible. I'd say that's even more reason for proofing by someone with knowledge. Ocean will then know that his red herrings are working.

And we will know if it was a red herring if he refuses to fix it and refuses to explain why he refused.

The thing about knowledge of the script - Ocean has that, but he makes far too many mistakes or clunky grammar, and still has continuity errors. Someone proofing the entire script should be able to do a comprehensive job - if we take Ocean's word that he's written the entire script. I stand by the idea that if it's not comprehensible without insider knowledge, it becomes a barrier for players to comprehend. Secrets and red herrings are fine, they're plot twists but clunky phrasing and grammar aren't red herrings, continuity most likely isn't either, at least 70% of the time. Grammar and lingo - well, that should be consistent through the script. The language side simply requires fluency in the idiom, and seeing where characters slip out of their personality.
At the end of the day, if there is a complete script, someone proofing it should be able to follow without the renders. It needs to make sense. If Ocean relies on visual cues to explain certain things, those should be noted in his draft, otherwise he'll forget his own intention in some cases. Story boards don't need the level of detail to convey emotion, but plot and direction.
If he hasn't completed the script to that level for all the seasons, then proof reading to remove continuity is pointless - the best that can be done is making sure that the loose ends are highlighted for Ocean to verify... but that won't solve the continuity if he gets carried away with expanding sections in later seasons.
Regardless, it completely up to you - I'd just hate doing it myself and tainting my future playthroughs by knowing everything. I'll applaud if you do offer though - Ocean does need the help from an independent view point.

Yes, the second last devlog has renders of Helen from the next update, whenever it comes.

And you deduced and came to that conclusion how exactly?

Which is strange and I think it is an oversight since ch.3 ends with Willi going to meet Leia.

Just because something is not specifically mentioned, does not mean it won't have any content....
Jesus, his dev logs are aimless witterings as they are, without including every possible character info that may be shown. at that point, may as well stop playing and just read the logs instead...

Sorry it was three devlogs ago - Here
Ocean's already shown previews of that meeting though. Can't really show much more than a topless Leia and Willi in a dark room...

So is this RE-Milking, eer... I mean ! 'Re Make' of this VN (which was almost more than half way to be completed) is barely on chapter 3 because this 'OceanMilk' .... I mean 'Oceanlab'' is working in 2 vn's at the same time ?? wow ! shame on his supporters who encourage game abandoning ''developers'' (like this guy) that will never complete a good vn because they do ''re makes'' or are working on other vn's at the same time; in this case is BOTH ! ...wait for the ''abandoned'' tags on both.

Ah yes, the professional Sumo ringer Helen pic. Even by Ocean´s own penchant to Verschlimmbessern his work, this one is ridicilous in my opinion.
I must have overlooked that devlog, where is it? Sometimes the discussion moves rather fast.Ocean's already shown previews of that meeting though. Can't really show much more than a topless Leia and Willi in a dark room...
Thanks for the picture! Even if Ocean´s design decisions make my eye teeth grow! In my honest opinion the Leia of chapter six old WiaB and the Leia of chapter 1 new WiaB were practical perfection for her.
How for all that is holy does he think these body caricatures are sexy? Airships get green with envy seeing the breasts of most girls.

Leia, Helen and Mila have suffered much. Dana at least we can influence. At least Miru and Katie haven't been packing it away!

Very true! And even Kati has suffered, for her size she also packs a lot. While their faces got better, their bodies have become, as said, caricatures.
