I got the reply from Oceanlab y'all. Seem like after he releases SG chap 3.5 Final, he will make a post (That's what I think when will be the most suitable time to release a post)
This post is coming "soon" since the begin of july hehe, but i undestand final SG 3.5 out of door been priority now and this is all right. I already suspect that this post will come only after SG release

I really don't get the dev. Why doing two such high demand games simultaneously? There is a very high risk of burnout. He should just quit this one and concentrate on SG, which is by far the better one. This will not end well. Because I fear that SG might be never finished, I have voiced my opinion in such an extreme manner.
I get what you are saying. Doing 2 games with such high quality content, must take a lot of time. I know this was said before and the response from some people was that he has more than 1 pc and can render both games at the same time. Sure he can set both computers to do the rendering, but he cannot make up story and write and code, etc, for both games at the same time. There is a lot of things to do and i think i would be naive if i would think that he can keep releasing regular updates for both games during a longer period. Just my thoughts, not a criticism, i love his work on both games.

Ocean already said multiple times that he's developing both games at the same time because he has the ability to switch work between the two. If he gets bored/tired of one, he switches to the other, it's that simple. What's so hard to comprehend?
As the saying goes, variety is the spice of life.

Thanks. I'll show this to my wife. Surely she'll let me marry another woman now.

Exactly. I like both, but SG more. (I am not into ntr stuff) So yeah. Superwriter does 2 games at once, but those are very short updates and both games are far from SG s level even Wiab s quality. That is why I am saying, this cannot end well.

You guys can get angry at me if you want, but the cold hard truth is this game is never getting finished, sadly. SG has a chance to get finished, albeit it will take a couple decades or so.
You can expect a few "wallpapers" and "WIP" screenshots every couple months. And maybe a small "rework/remake" patch every couple of years. But actually finishing it? I don't see it happening.
It's no wonder he is investing his (limited) time into SG, as it's not stuck in rework limbo, not to mention it's earning him more cash.
WIAB only has a real chance if he recruits/hire helpers. Alone a man can only do so much. It's even made worse by the fact he is a "perfectionist".

Where it all begins is pretty good, I don't think the game needed to be reworked tho but I guess Ocean had different plans with the game.. Me personally I like SG way better, not saying I don't like WIAB cause I do(I'm glad the NTR stuff was avoidable btw) but I like summer's gone more and it would be much better if he only focused on SG instead of trying to do both.. One update a year is not good at all So it's not worth it working on both games when itll just take decades for both to be updated or completed.. Rather finish SG first then work on WIAB

We need some drink too. What the best think to drink while eating popcorn? Pepsi for me. What y'all want
I prefer coke over pepsi, but both are great options.

It really does need a rework. IT is not an aesthetic problem, even if you can see that the level of art he can do right now, not just cute renders but in a more profound level, like like, ambient, mood of the scenes is on a totally different level of his original work. The real problem is that the story and character behavior is inconsistent.

This happened as a lot of original decisions were made when Ocean was a newbie and he was following polls and recommendations from patreon. But those ideas do no longer work in the kind of story he wants to tell.

And once again, many people have suggested him to focus on one and then do the other. He has rejected the idea many times, for different reasons. So it is what it is.

Damn you Oceanlab ლಠ益ಠ)ლ !, I really did not expect I would have fallen for a character as close to Leia:love: since I saw this

screenshot0002.png
hands down the most erotic art I have seen that makes me want to frame it on a wall ! or maybe a desktop wallpaper

Who is the other dame you say ?
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Dana :love:, the only reason apart from a cutie like Dana desiring to be dominated I am not fully into Leia like most people are into Bella in SG is because her darkness will be a detriment into any relation long term, her need to alienate any females(including katie and excluding the mother and aunt) from MC is sign of not being able to regulate her affection for him which might smother him later on, or atleast that is what I think it to be.


Now having played SG I was perplexed how disconnected the writing was , but we'll see what the remake holds, as with all things I compared WiAB to SG and felt forced in certain things like

  1. Trauma, which comes out of nowhere in ep 6, I didn't notice any signs of it prior to it when he was in police custody or in state prison (mind you a person having trauma would exhibit discomfort immediately when placed in the undesired environment and later on as the pressure builds it seeps in action and speech making them behave unnaturally or agitated)

  2. Leia's darkside which isn't even properly addressed in her path and why would you add a commitment early on without addressing it like how we addressed in Katie's ? why the rush ?
