VN Ren'Py Where It All Began [S1 Ch.4 Fix 1 Steam] [Oceanlab]

[Ray_D]

Lol, dev went from 2 updates per year to barely an update a year with how things are going.
He made it clear with his constant posts that the updates will come in faster for both games after Summer's Gone steam release but all it did is made the updates slower. And not to mention that recent updates for both games barely had story progress or quality.
Won't be long before the dev just disappears/gives up and these 2 games are either abandoned or "remade".

Probably yes or no, we will have to wait and see what happens.

 

[Ray_D]

So you hope you are wrong and that it will come out in November 2025?

What are you talking about man, you know it will be released in November 2026.

So tomorrow will be two devlogs ? another treat ? Or will remain radio silent ? Is possible that he just had some problem and the log got delayed, but I am starting to think that maybe he has some news to tell, either good or bad.

I doubt there will be two devlogs. Most likely he'll release an SG one, ignore the fact he missed a WiaB one and released the third set of SG treats instead. But he might mention some WiaB related stuff in SG regards general workflow. Maybe he'll do a combined update with stats and numbers for both games?

There's still one unrevealed WiaB treat set though, so I excpect Ocean will deploy that (or the Leia set) for the next WiaB log, especially if it's emergency Katie renders. I guess we'll find out, but there's only so many treats he can post, people prefer information, and actual game releases to treats - game releases have more than 10 renders of our faves after all. The treats could be to avoid revealing renders which reveal things Ocean wants to keep a surprise because he's currently working on scenes that he wants to keep to himself for now.

Maybe the German equivalent of the IRS picked him up for a chat.....

I don't think it is about money

No, it is frozen until ocean defeats the evil government of Germany and its taxes.

So you're telling me that the real reason why they're going to vote in Germany soon is Ocean?

Ocean's already missed our biweekly dose of Katie, and we're all nervous.
We need our fix

Does this means that the Taxes Saga will come to an end ? What a pity. At least we may have a final showdown between Ocean and the tax collector.

It is not in radio silence, it is active in the SG room and also with the subs....
And I think it could be Wednesday's logs again... SG's last treat and not much more, maybe we are at the point of the year where we can already say that there will be no SG up date or the surprise of the year...

Oh I know, was more musing if the delay in the WiaB log might have a deeper meaning. I will take a log and treats for SG, not holding much hope that there is gonna be any update this year.

My bet is that he didn't get to complete the second WIAB treat and therefore didn't get to do the math on what's done and how much is left to do... then the log would just be “I couldn't do anything I said, but the work is still going strong.”

Bah...if it keeps on like this I'ma be forced to start posting sad Katie pics!

Did you not see Steam in the OP?

You must be registered to see the links

nope. Just hit jump to new and then went to the end.

 

[JiiEf]

Tried this for the first time yesterday. A bit of a mixed bag to say the least, starts with some soap-opera level sentimentality, but gets a bit better around the spider hunt. Miru feels like next level teen nerd fantasy fulfilment and does absolutely nothing to me personally. The sisters, Daphne and some of the others are crazy hot, though, so I guess I'll check this out in a year or two (or three) considering the apparent glacial pace right now.

 

[Schattenfang]

Sorry if I'm totally missing something, was there no Ocean Weekly last wednesday (WiaB) and this wednesday (SG)?

There was no WIAB log last week. No SG log has been released this week, yet.

WiAB Chapter 4 - Dev Log #18
Hello,
Well, well, well... Look who decided to show up.
I'll be making one big change to the dev logs: From now on, both dev logs (SG and WiAB) will be on the same day.

In the past months, I have established a serious commitment to my daily renders and figured out how to "abuse" the ability to go into a hyperfocus for 10+ hours.

These hyperfocus sessions have a main draw back.

1. I feel absolutely antisocial, and writing dev logs feels like climbing an impossibly high wall.

They help me achieve amazing game-related goals, but I can't do anything social for a few days afterwards.

As most of you know, I don't just provide dry information in the dev logs; I often discuss all sorts of game-related topics, even personal topics.

By releasing both Dev Logs on the same day, I have more "free" days to just be a robot without having to power down and be in some sort of in-between every few days.

I also have this adhd tick that when I have an appointment or there's a date I have to do something, I think about it every single day... And it's distracting. I tried to fight it by reducing the numbers of previews buuuut... well... Yeah.

So, both dev logs will now be released on the same day. That way I also won't need to repeat info from the last log in a new one.

I will still keep the dev logs separate.

I didn't forget that I had to make a WiAB Dev Log, but I didn't want to leave my flow state... And boy did I get shit done.

I'm sorry I didn't make the dev log, but what we all really want at the end of the day are updates.

WiAB Chapter 4 current still render count: ~2600
Previews:

Ayo Ni?

And to make up for not creating a dev log last week, a render I wouldn't normally preview...


The next Dev log in two weeks will be a few days late, as I'll be visiting family from the 23.11 to 1.12. There are three big family events happening in one week and I don't want to miss them.

It might also not be a bad thing to take a week off from my overdrive... Healthwise. During that week, I'll finish the German translation for SG and WiAB.

I'll write the SG dev log when I'm back from the gym.

I'll see you in two weeks.

ok, 2600/4000

But, if the log came out last week, I wouldn't have been right... my calculations are so precise sometimes...
