MY guess is that during the days, he does the creative part of setting up scenes, then sets up a render cue to go at night while he sleeps, so that way he doesn't have to wait for the computer to grind through the renders. I could be completely wrong, but that's what it sounds like.
You wrote absolutely correctly. I don't understand at all how it is possible to make only 25-40 renders per night, it's very little. It would be possible to believe in this if Ocean had an old video card like the GTX 1070 and he didn't know how to optimize.So we can only guess. And the only information we have is breadcrumbs in the developer logs. In September, he wrote that he had reached the 2,000 renders milestone. He also wrote that he estimated the full length of Chapter 4 at 3,000-3,500 renders. (Fun fact, in April, he estimated the total at 2,500-2,800 renders.)
In a recent devlog, in the next episode of the Tax/Workstation saga, he wrote that his current hardware allows him to do 25-40 renders per night. Not sure what this mean - he doesn't do the rendering at the days? I take it as the throughput per day.
So, given that there are 3500-2000 = 1500 renders left, and that he's doing 25 (pessimistic estimate) renders per day, it'll take 60 days just to render that amount. But he has animations planned, and he's going to do them after the static renders are done, in postwork phase. So a very optimistic estimate is ~2.5 - 3 months to complete.
But! It is not clear from the log, these 25-40 renders per day - are these renders only WiAB or WiAB + SG?
If it's the latter, then you can safely multiply my estimate by 2 or even 2.5, since he usually prioritizes SG over WiAB.
Or...He has no air conditioning in his office and putting all the machines to work kills him with the heat... My guess is that, but I know that at some point he explained it, what his work routine was like... but I'm too lazy to look it up.
There are advantages to everything, now he doesn’t have to pay for heating in the winter.Or...He has no air conditioning in his office and putting all the machines to work kills him with the heat...

Because we play the game without you looking over our shoulders telling us not to enjoy it. Or because we secretly are masochists. Or something. Does it matter why other people enjoy something that you don't?
Answer your own question maybe...perhaps because you're a pathetic troll maybe with no enjoyment in your life?
Katie is definitely quite the draw....Bob is a close second though to be fair
Everybody likes people with the good old "you're all dumb because you like what I don't like" attitude. You're on a very good way to be the most loved one on earth.
The disadvantages of not being the favorite child
I'm sorry, what?! How did I miss Katie in SG? Where is she?Good thing we have young Katie here with white hair, and milf Katie there (Kilf? "Katie, I'd like to, please?" Is that better?) after 20 years. More Katie is better
The question is, when does Ocean drop the devlog with more "emergency" Katie?
There is still a lot interesting stuff to be discussed, like e.g. the artwork. But I agree with you that the changes done to the story are absolute crap and are one big reason my enthusiasm for Ocean´s games has cooled a lot. Several storylines in WIAB are now in tatters, their logic and coherence completely ruptured.
Katie is in Ch 5 in the bookclub scene. Seeing you've heard it here first... I'll give you that much spoiler. You shouldn't be able to miss her, only reason to not see her is having a mod installed that is the wrong version for season one. PLay the game unmodded, and there will be some Katie revelations, lot's of inuendo that we theorise over because it's very mysterious and roundabout.
I swear to God I will file a restraining order against you on behalf of a fictional AVN character!
