My focus in the past two weeks was shifted towards Summer's Gone. Not for any particular reason; I just had an inspiration for a certain scene.

So both new updates of wiab and summers gone will be BIG, niceWhere it all began - Chapter 4 - Dev Log #13
Hello,
I secured a song that I will use for a cinematic in Chapter 5.
When I lost all the Epidemic licenses, WiAB lost around 10 planned cinematics, and I haven't really come around to finding new songs yet.
Well, technically, I did, but the ones I contacted didn't want their brand associated with adult topics.
There was a perfect song I had found a few months ago, but just when he was about to sign the contract, he got cold feet and dipped due to the lewd aspect.
I would've used said cinematic as the Steam trailer, too.
Of course, we all know WIAB has barely any funds at the moment, and even if we consider 50% of Subscribestars' income WIAB's, it still couldn't pay for a single license.
All of it is spent on 3D assets.
Things should get better after WiAB releases on Steam and GOG. After this, I will be on the lookout for more music and will work to bring WiAB's cinematic level up to par with SG.
But hey, one cinematic is secured for Chapter 5.
My focus in the past two weeks was shifted towards Summer's Gone. Not for any particular reason; I just had an inspiration for a certain scene.
However, I did, of course, also do some WiAB, and it's coming along nicely.
Previews:
"Two Bibis on their way to hell."

I'm about to finish a rather big scene with Katie... Another one with Leia is almost done... Yeah, it's still going to take a while.
It's almost two updates at once.
I'll see you in two weeks.
Ocean
It's all relative... for what we are used to in WIAB it will be a little bit bigger, at the level of half a chapter of SG... I wouldn't call it BIG.So both new updates of wiab and summers gone will be BIG, nice
I don't understand the question... why not WIAB on Steam before SG? easy, WIAB only had 2 chapters, when the third one came out SG launched on Steam... and besides, SG does make money.Why not push WIAB on steam 1st?
For Nuln, Wollust, eh, Wissenland and the Empire!no wonder i like zoey dead ringer for elspeth
no SG S1 is done on steam, I was expecting he will focus on WIAB to do the same for 1st seaso or 5 chapter. Oh wellI don't understand the question... why not WIAB on Steam before SG? easy, WIAB only had 2 chapters, when the third one came out SG launched on Steam... and besides, SG does make money.
In that case, no, it has been too long since WIAB was the focus of anything.no SG S1 is done on steam, I was expecting he will focus on WIAB to do the same for 1st seaso or 5 chapter. Oh well
Yeah I think he meant get it on Steam before spending 2 godamn weeks fucking about with SG (again...)...he complains it's not making money on SS...In that case, no, it has been too long since WIAB was the focus of anything.
I agree, when the storm started after the patreon debacle I thought that for once there was going to be focus on WIAB. But considering that there was not even an official version of what happened, and all the logs from March until now.... well, whoever still has any similar hope is just going to hit harder with the door closing.Yeah I think he meant get it on Steam before spending 2 godamn weeks fucking about with SG (again...)...he complains it's not making money on SS...
WELL DUH....
Seriously, like pulling your hair out...concentrate on the damn release of CH4 to get it on Steam then go spend a month playing with the other...
We all should know by now that Ocean is a fucking retard when it comes to project/time management. At the same time, I understand "art" has inspirations at times and what not...Yeah I think he meant get it on Steam before spending 2 godamn weeks fucking about with SG (again...)...he complains it's not making money on SS...
WELL DUH....
Seriously, like pulling your hair out...concentrate on the damn release of CH4 to get it on Steam then go spend a month playing with the other...
Well, seeing WiaB is the NTR game, we're getting cucked by SG, so that's kinda thematic right? Right???In that case, no, it has been too long since WIAB was the focus of anything.
It's alright. Everything is going as it should.Disappointment is an understatement. At least Ocean is being honest with his 'no particular reason'
...but considering that disappointment is a familiar friend, gosh darn it, I'm just enjoying Zoey as some copium. Anyone notice the levels of black clothing in recent previews? Helen and William in black, dressed up, now Zoey and William. Is there a funeral for someone? I'd previously thought that the black dress Helen was wearing was related to going out for dinner. William's wearing something too casual with Zoey though, so maybe not a funeral, but then they're in an office? Maybe official things for signing papers related to moving to Wollust and Zoey's acting as a character reference or something, it seems informal enough in casual but the levels of black (with no substantiative info about the contents of Ch4)...
Oh well, at least the content and look is keeping me interested. I'm going to hope for this year still, even with Ocean sabotaging his own development schedule.
I do get the music issues though. It's easy to find something generic to use, hard to find something that is personally moving. And when looking for things I can only imagine how much time gets wasted finding something Ocean likes, then emailing to get a no. I assume he's asked the artists he already has for new compositions? Chances are he could get someone who's already agreed to write music specific to a scene, but that's the opposite way Ocean's used to working, he scores the scene to the music rather than produce the scene and score the music to it like films do.
My short term goal is to hope that in two weeks Ocean has a nicer, juicier devlog ...I also hope that this comment ages like wine rather than meat.
Well, seeing WiaB is the NTR game, we're getting cucked by SG, so that's kinda thematic right? Right???
It's alright. Everything is going as it should.
SG is inspiration, SG is life! It's worth an extra week, or two. Or seven.
And WiAB, well what about WiAB? You know yourself...
Helen for example. How could you even allow this to happen, where were you looking???
By the way, when the next random dude whose post you like writes that Ocean should stop making two games and focus on finishing one of them, you do realize that this is about closing WiAB, right? You do realize, right?
Okay, I'll take my leave, don't see me off. You know, thinks to do, places to go...
Cheers

Wait, Sorco is also in favor of closing WiAB? What a twist!Which random dude? Sorco? Too much zone for you yossa! I think you're cuntrol clicking through the zone like it's an AVN

I'm trying to work out the random dude I liked that is doing what you said? I don't even know what you're on about - you need more coffee and less zone I think. You're wanting more drama? Coffee IS drama in a liquid form.Wait, Sorco is also in favor of closing WiAB? What a twist!
can't say that I am surprised, Steam release took more time than expected, Ocean went beyond the Chapter 2 scope with the rework, both updates grew quite a lot in comparison with the previous ones. I had hoped that we might have something for the Holidays but I think the more likely is that both game are released early 2025. Now the bigger update means more story progression or more renders to the same story scope ?Looking like no update for either game until 2025
