VN Ren'Py Where It All Began [Ch. 3 Full] [Oceanlab]

[Sony676]

I'm slowly starting to get the same impression. It's starting to remind me of the current situation with WVM. Just empty words

Each time a devlog kind of makes room for a nearly finished update the next devlog feels like there hasn't been any progress at all. No new numbers, just renders for the 5000th time. At some point a dev must be willing to finish an update and actually release it but nowadays it seems to be more productive to not do that...

No it's tomorrow. Always tomorrow. It's only a day away.

Ocean could have made this a three part game.

Summer's Gone: An introduction to the story through Nika's eyes. Eventually we reach a climax.
Where it All Began: The story that happened before Summer's Gone. History of Hollost through William's eyes.
Part Three: A story after Summer's Gone. Either a new MC or Nika & William together.

He should have first completed Summer's Gone and end it with a small cliffhanger and story to move forward to.
Then make Where it All Began, showing how we reached at Summer's Gone and the story of Hollost before Nika.
Then a game to tie this all up, Ocean's grant finale where every charector he deem worthy show up. And epic climax to a saga, a unforgettable trilogy which makes Ocean the GOAT AVN creator.
This way he could have the same supports and also new supporters for each game. He would be able to release more often.
Alas it is a "what could have been".

I like Ocean as a dev but this feel like milking to me. The only thing left to do is complete the intro cinematic and testing and maybe one more lewd scene. He could easily given a tentative realse date like next Friday 5/2 or something. He been doing post work for 2 months now on WIAB. Even DPC beta testing phase does not last more than a few weeks.

Thats why I was asking how long Steam usually takes, considering thats on top of the work still left to do, unless I'm misunderstanding the process. But going off the replies no one has a clue, so...

Steam usually take a couple weeks to approve a new game for publishing. We can't be sure how long WiaB will take since when SG was submitted, Ocean was chopping and changing it to lower the rating.

 

[Machete]

Is there a release coming soon? I will need a summary of what happened so far, it was too long since i played it. I remember there were biker gangs, and drug dealers, and a dude wanting to bang his mom, and ninjas...

I think this game could use some pirate. Everything is better with pirates.

Too late to tell you that WIAB was actually released first?

No? Feel dumb now? No?....oh well...moving on now.

Fuck Summer's Gone.

3 months
6 months
or 15 days
It may even take only 7 days... but it is impossible to know, each AVN had different times, and as long as they do not find in the delivered build some serious error or something to change.

Ocean,
If you never complete WiAB
May your name be forgotten.
Your words never spoken
And your dream left unfinished.

This is not what we call "constructive criticism," and in some countries would probably be a death sentence for sorcery or witchcraft.
