Hello,
I hope you all had some pleasant Holidays, and a good time in general!
I didn’t do any real work during the holidays, now that I don’t live in Berlin anymore, I’m a lot more (forced) involved in the whole Holiday prep.
#SG
I didn’t manage to finish the entire cinematic before Christmas, I assume it’s the environmental asset, but the test renders take about two hours (for 120 frames).
When you see the cinematic, you might also be able to guess why I needed a few more test-renders than usual to dial things in.
Oh, before I forget for the fifth time: I switched Sasha and Bella back to Gensis 8. I made a post a while back where I talked about porting the characters to G8.1.
And it has been a success for most, but I don’t like G8.1 Bella and Sasha. Something around the eyes looks different when I dial in the expressions… I thought I’d get used to it but no. I went with my gut and reverted the two to G8.
#WIAB
Development will start on January 14th. Slow at first, because I must get through the Steam/GOG release. More info in the next log.
The way forward
After Patreon unrightfully nuked both accounts, my plan was to bring at least SG back, which as I mentioned in a previous log, I wasn’t allowed to.
This was my plan to stabilize everything; however, it didn’t work out, and now I have to look for alternatives.
Starting 2026, you can earn 603€ a month tax free through mini-jobs in Germany, and that would cover my electricity bill.
In 2027, my leasing contract for the single A6000 ADA runs out. That alone is about 380€ a month.
I’ll get a mini-job in January and help support the games through that. It perfectly covers my electricity bill plus a few high protein snackies.
It’s about 40 hours per month, I will, of course, still work full-time on the games. Afterall, I only do the mini-job for the games. To bridge 2026 and the first leasing contract.
I know I have a steam release around the corner, which on paper can change everything, but after the last two years, I don’t feel like being optimistic about this side of the coin.
If after 2024s WiAB nuke I lost the feeling of security, you can imagine how it is now... and after a while it wrecks you.
I think this mini-job can stabilize more than just the finances. Get my head out of the office for once.
On the other side of the coin, I ported Zara to Blender and will soon do some stuff with her. I have something planned… But I want to finish the cinematic first, as it will require me to render a few Blender animations.
The cinematic I’m currently rendering for SG has something in it that makes me smile every time I see it… I’ll talk about it after the update.
It’s a small detail, but it makes my day.

When's the next update?
Yeah lol.
Some dude said a month ago the update was being tested on Steam already to be approved and would drop soon, now dev confirmed it didnt went to testing.
MAYBE (he didnt gave 100%, and even when he does, he usually dont follow it) will be put to Steam test "soon".
Keep dreaming about next month.
1 year and 2 months last update took, this one is on 1year and 4 months already, surely not releasing before 1y5m, maybe even one year and a half.
Psycology need to study this subforum, how can so many people live in a colective paranoic ilusion. I remember how it start "Ocean is now buying a new PC with a very powerfull graphic card, now updates won't take more than 2 months, it'll reduce rendering time by 80%" this after the first remaster update.
In the end, updates are the same size, same rendering quality, the 2 month time was a crude joke and each update it takes longer. I'm already throwing it here and saving the page to requote this in the future (since I sayd Chapter 4 would come in a year and a half and people are tearing of their panties out of hate, but I forgot wich page was):
"CHAPTER 5 WILL BE RELEASED 2 YEARS AFTER CHAPTER 4"
The cow continues being milked and the colective psycothic ilusion will keep going with the "bubus".
What I take from NTR disable is that NOTHING will happen with out players/William's input. Miru CAN fuck others people, if you let her do it. NTR enabled Miru WILL fuck other people if you fuck up. So yeah, I take that if you let her do porn she can fuck other men, if you let her, regardeless if NTR if on or off. Futhermore MMF threasome is not NTR, at least I don't think it can be considered as such.Does anyone know if, when disabling NTR and choosing to make adult films, Miru will film with an MC or another guy? Because even with NTR disabled, she insists on having a threesome with another guy.
As someone who have seen Summer is Gone and played the update before this one for this one I didn't think Ocean would feature NTR what the heck lmao..Does anyone know if, when disabling NTR and choosing to make adult films, Miru will film with an MC or another guy? Because even with NTR disabled, she insists on having a threesome with another guy.
Maybe its because he set from the very beginning that there would be no NTR in SG.As someone who have seen Summer is Gone and played the update before this one for this one I didn't think Ocean would feature NTR what the heck lmao..
True..just saw it on Developer notesMaybe its because he set from the very beginning that there would be no NTR in SG.
And that there will be NTR in WiAB.
This is by design.
Thanks, but only if I allow it. Are there any scenes with Miru and other women?What I take from NTR disable is that NOTHING will happen with out players/William's input. Miru CAN fuck others people, if you let her do it. NTR enabled Miru WILL fuck other people if you fuck up.
