In return I will answer you what Ocean always tells me “I will never abandon WIAB, no matter what happens, it will take as long as it has to take but I will not abandon it”.
I would consider Ocean removing the original premise of his story equivalent to him abandoning his vision for the story and his heart will never be in it as much as if he stuck to it.

Is the devlog for both games today or next week?

Should be this week I think.

I'm just hoping for a good story with lots of Katie, and plenty of cloak and dagger shenanigans. I think it'll be great even if it's different to what I thought it would be when I first discovered it pre-rework. The original premise was pretty much stumbled into playing the pre-rework - Ocean's not the same person he was back then, none of us are. He's probably refined his sense of what is uniquely WiaB and can't be altered, and what parts were just being provocative for their own sake.

As long as I keep enjoying it and Ocean keeps rendering, I'll probably pay attention.

I'm eagerly waiting for the next update of WiaB and hope Ocean does the steam release by December or at least January 2025. Looking forward to the story and how it unfolds in the future update.

At this point, it's unlikely to be on Steam by the end of the year, unless Ocean annoucs it in the coming devlog. We've got two more after this weeks arrives before the end of the year. Ocean will want to make sure people know to buy WiaB on Steam with the early access, so he'll make sure it doesn't get lost in the season's overcommunication. But he also has to finish it first. Last devlog had numbers that suggest anywhere from late Jan to April I think, based on what OCean says is his capacity for renders. It really depends of the size of the update as he hasn't given us exact numbers yet.

I'd like tomorrow personally, but it is what it is.

Will this game include netorare, or is it only netorase? Thanks
In short, all the types.
Netori, being for now Monica the example.
Netorare, although for now it is only talked about as a form of punishment in Miru's route (Ocean once said that each LI is different and their netorare routes would be different).
Netorase, and we already see that William insists with the open relationship.
Cuckold bull with Gina, who can become netori.

And so far I remember what was “confirmed” (everything can evolve and change).

While I agree my fear is that the story will become disconnected, with different parts that don't quite fit together, the change announced has a impact in the whole story and while I don't think that Ocean would do such thing with out thinking things through, it can be difficult to change course mid way through, it has only 3 chapters released but the story is writing and the butterfly affect is real one change will lead to another and another and another. Either Ocean embraces all the changes or things may become disjointed if he aims at the same destiny with a very different route. Is early and I honestly think that the change can be good to the story but I don't think that is as easy as changing how William calls Helen. I will be here as long as I think is worth be invested in it and I can't really cry about a story that was never told to me.

I would like to point out a couple of things, first, and going back to the hackneyed “chapter 4 became essential”, so far the story has not moved from the already known keystones of the old WIAB, so on that side you would be right in saying that reaching the same goal with different paths (plus the changes you want to introduce) leads to not the best of ports (you can like SG a lot, but season one the whole remake was weird, and it was for having to amalgamate so many things, wanting to keep the story, take out the genitals, take out scenes, put scenes . ... in short, not very neat as a result).
Now, if chapter 4 is a fresh new start, then that possibility is diluted, WIAB is not completely written (SG is supposed to be) so taking what it has and making it really different would lead to even better story. And as I'm writing it I realize that SG exists and that “prequel to” makes my idea impossible....
So after thinking out loud, I have to agree with you.(y)

Do we have NTS content for Chapter 4? If so, how much? Thanks
I think you meant NTR right? And its for CH 3 right? Chapter 4 was not released yet, so no way to know.
In any case, there's is not a FULL NTR scene for CH3, but there's content that is more of a sharing thing imo and needs player consent, if player (mc) gives consent Miru does some stuff to a guy. (the guy put his hand on her ass (not naked), grope her breasts, put his hands inside her pants (but will not touch her pussy) and suck her tits)
But be aware i dont like such content and made one playthrough just to see dialogue differences depending of choices, and i dont know if theres more.
If its not this you wanted to know, sorry.
