I'd be more concerned about helen firing that magnum. The amount of jiggle physics she'd exert from the recoil would nuke Ocean's workstation into oblivion.
She just needs to work out how to mount it on that natural bipod she calls breasts. That should be enough to cushion any recoil (and save Ocean's new workstation).

Do we know if there are specific romance routes in this game? It’s been a while since I played but I’m curious if for example the protagonist can end things with Miru (not that I’d necessarily want to) and get together with that woman who has the crosses on her earrings. This game just oozes style and vibes I haven’t seen anything quite like this before.

WiAB Chapter 4 - Dev Log #24

Hello,

I have started with postwork, but I still need to some renders for the last scene.

The scene has around 45 people in it, and at most 34 are visible at the same time. The issue was that the queue stopped two days in a row at night because it encountered scenes that were too big.

Long story short, it was one of the G9s that for some reason used up 11GB on her own. It left me with having to re-open all renders again, and adjust the SubD settings.

Prior to this scene, the biggest scene I've had was 11 visible people at the same time. (I think). Real people, no weird cardboard people.

This scene with (peak) 34 visible people is new territory for me. (Or as Merkel would say "Neuland".) It's good training, and I'll need it for the future.

Figuring out the logistics of how to efficiently hide, pose, and re-introduce characters will be a valuable skill.

I've recently started using more Genesis 9 characters, but I wasn't aware of how much VRAM some of these fuckers ate.

I took the 23rd partially off because we had elections in Germany.

Here's an example render with 23 visible people from the scene.

Render count ~3600 -> 3871 (~ 271 WIAB) (Another 190 for SG) Animations: +6 (13 total)

It's fewer renders than before, but that's simply because I'm working on a scene with 45 people in it. Immersion is important, so I do have to pose all visible characters every few renders.

The PC renders ~30 a night, and that's more than I expected considering the sheer size of the scene.

I started the process of collecting all SFX, as this will be the first Chapter that fully features a mix of ambient sounds, music, and SFX.

I currently do postwork whenever I'm stuck in loading.

Left to do in this order:

  • Finish last scene.
  • Postwork + lewd animations + cinematic
  • Testing begins. (Implement music, sfx, collectibles, gallery, and fix/improve issues/unliked renders.)
  • Insult Katie.
  • After the initial testing (before fixing render issues), I will send the game to Steam and GOG for review.)
I'll definitely have the last scene done by next dev log. With a bit of luck, I'll even have done all the lewd animations and sizeable chunk of postwork.

Oh, I changed Leia's eyes last year and hadn't mentioned it before. I was still using her old 2018 eyes, but I was so fed up with the low-quality reflections and shit that I had changed them.

I’m honestly baffled and a little impressed - that no one has brought up the whole “lewd animations” bit. Isn’t this usually the part where we hear all sorts of moans (in more ways than one) about there not being enough of them? :KEK:

Is there anyone to say what Helen's case is and why she doesn't talk ??? Has anyone brought this calamity to her? Has been raped to Helen???

Because with WiaB, lewd is already guaranteed. We're also more interested to know from the update, who is really a Zane, what Ocean things Ocean has done to the story. The lewds are low priority to me, compared to finding out what the foundation of the Zaneverse will be moving forward... or whether we're told that at all, in which case, Ocean's playing a deeper game with the story.

Is there anyone to say what Helen's case is and why she doesn't talk ??? Has anyone brought this calamity to her? Has been raped to Helen???
She wrote to Willi on her hand right? So if no one knows, she's specifically refusing to tell, not just silence, but purposefully keeping her family ignorant. That to me means that whatever it is, it is something she is trying to hide from the family. William wasn't there when it happened, so she's hiding it firstly from the people their, most likely Leia and Katie, or Scarlet.

I suspect the mystery man is Dylan, but it's really hard to tell what's hair and what's foliage when brightening the top image.
What caught my attention is tbe obvious background where is seems that they are in a fire florest. Whatever it is, it seems to me that something went wrong for the Zanes and William and Helen are scared. The man my be a number of things, is hard to tell, but Helen presence is what intrings me most since she is the one who tries to distant herself from the criminal side. With a fucking hand canon!
