Chapter 1 was 17 months for less than 800 renders and 16k frames of animation, so no, it's still not the longest period of time between up dates.

I find the Oceanian arithmetic weird, he says he can get 50 renders per night max, he calculates 29 days of work in 1300 renders, but he also calculates around 1300 renders in the same period of time for SG :unsure:
...
1350 renders for SG in two months - on 17th October he reported 2000 renders were done for SG

Okay, so based on what's said, the stills will be 13 months after the beta for 3, then however long for the animations, and the steam approval. It's still feeling like it's gathering a bit more momentum. Momentum is good. We're not close enough for Ocean to be spamming steam and gog links yet though.
The links, I think it's not going to happen until he has an actual date... he already three times put estimated dates on Steam and failed, I don't think he's going to get burned on that milk again.

Yeah, and that's sensible. About the arithmetic, maybe he means 50 a night max for WiaB? That's the only way it makes sense, that he can actually do 100 a night, but only 50 a night per game.

Hopefully next devlog we get some emergency Katie.

Are you telling me that WiABsters are gonna suffer again? :KEK:
No, I'm saying that my math says he's going to get almost 100 renders per night (at least that's what he estimates) so that 50 renders max per night must have been a count he did months ago and is out of date (or overestimates the likely production).

When he talks about the nightly throughput :KEK: , it's unclear if he means both games or just SG.

WiAB Chapter 4 - Dev Log #20
Hello,

I confused something, and said in the last Dev Log that the next log would be released on Christmas Eve.

And I still thought the next log had to be released on the 24th. Yesterday, however, I felt an itch to write a log and checked the date of my latest log… And yeah… I have no idea why I said Christmas Eve.

Anyway, let’s get into it.

Workstation news. Currently I’m still bottlenecked by my PC, it’s unable to render all the images created during the day.

I got the wonderful 2022 tax invoice, cried myself to sleep, and then paid it.

This means I can now finally plan for the Workstation. As it looks right now, I will order it in January.

Currently, my PC can render ~20 to 50 images a night, depending on the number of characters in the scene.

When the new Workstation arrives, the amount effectively triples. Then, the PC I’m currently using can continue rendering during the day while I set up new scenes on the Workstation.

One PC can theoretically render 24/7.

I might need to install a NAS system if I add a third PC for animations when the 50xx cards come out.

I’m still working on the treats. Robin from SG will be the next one to release.

WiAB - Season 1 - Chapter 4
Yesterday, while I checked up on what's left to do, I was a little surprised to see that we're actually closing in.

By my estimations, we're looking at around 29 days of still image rendering and the stills for Chapter 4 are done.

That's around 1300 renders left.

The number is calculated by what my PC can render a night. It doesn't matter if I can do more if he needs X time to render it.

After the still renders, I will start with the animations and render them during postwork and testing.

Previews:
I mentioned on Discord that I'd be showing renders I wouldn't usually preview.

Back to work.

I'm actually getting excited now.

I'll see you in two weeks. (Maybe less because of the Robin treat).

Jesus, what is this Leia render ?! just why ? I can't even... Maybe I should join the Katie club, Ocean is doing Leia dirty.

On another note february/ march seems like a real possibility

I mean, he kinda always overestimate what he can deliver and how fast he can do it. I do not understand rendering but he seems to be doing crazy numbers.

I don't know but Leia's areola is kinda distracting.
The aurelas are fine, but what is this hair ? It looks like a child who just found her mother's hair tie. and the outfit ? Plus it seems that now everybody has plane strides.

When he talks about the nightly throughput :KEK: , it's unclear if he means both games or just SG.
That is why I once asked about his workflow. We have no way of knowing how much each game progress, but I would assume that he will focus on finishing WiaB now, it is the closer to be finished and the one who is late. Plus Steam

Yeah that Leia render is a complete mess. Other than her actual face, I don't think there is anything that looks mildly decent. Her hair is awful, so is her outfit, not even gonna comment the chest area :sick: , it feels like she's floating on that chaise longue, I don't know how she can bend her legs whenin the rest of the frame we see how long that thing is. That chair in the back...wtf? Is that Helen's? Because you need to be Hagrid sized to use a chair with a seat that long.

Other than that the devlog is good. Kat looks stunning and I kinda feel sorry for Miru. Her allergy to wearing clothes must really suck in the winter :)

I'm certainly not complaining, but Kat's wearing that outfit on the same night it appears that Katie is sitting astride Willi's lap. I look forward to finding all about these renders in great detail.

Also out of all those react thingies.
Katie and Kat sandwich...no complaints here.....Miru can have fun with her toys while watching ;)

Oh come on, you're not new around here, but you are still taking any kind of estimates Ocean tosses out as anything but a joke?
