I say this as someone who vastly prefers WIAB to SG. You could look at the disparity between SG's and WIAB's Pateron support. SG is roughly 70% of Ocean's combined income from the two games. Where would you focus your efforts?

The difference in income between the two is heavily affected by the fact that WIAB hasn't gotten a content update for more than 14 months, at which point WIAB had more income than SG. Since then, SG has received two content updates, while WIAB got neglected and as a result has stagnated. The difference in income is coming from where he focused his efforts, not the other way around.
taking over a country: 1 week
Remaking a game: 14 months and counting
Just in case someone gets triggered, I'm kidding, it's a joke

Plus Where it all began had no GPU for a while, and if I remember correctly, SG got the 3090. Honestly, the biggest danger this game face is patreon's support dropping. But even if it doesn't, it is very hard to believe that adult games won't move past VN's within the next 30 years.

What is the purpuse in learning something without using it to finish anything? Commitment is irrelevant at this point. One of the most important accomplishments as a developer of any kind is to have a finished product.
As far as I know, SG and Wiab are not at the end of the road of his endeavor as VN developer. If the picture you're painting here is as blank as you descripe, there would be no chance of him finishing anything within any given timeframe. This is just the wrong mindset to be productive at all!
I believe Ocean is trying to build the base, so to speak, and I think he will get his shit together because, for now, I see structure and not total absence of logical coherence in his actions. The key factor, like I mentioned before, is the steam release of SG and/or Wiab. First impression is immensely important on this platform. He is improving the quality of different aspects in the beginning of both games to meet the minimal requirements to be able to get a strong customer base. Within the first few hours of playtime players decide to either abandon or stick with the game, thats just a fact. If they get flashed with awesomeness
thats a good thing or isn't it?Whatever, I'm out for now... have a nice day...

I might agree with you if Ocean himself hasn't already said a few times that it doesn't put more or less effort into games depending on the support. If you search his old posts, here or in SG's thread, you'll find one where he says that. Ocean said it but his latest actions seem to say the opposite. That's my point.

A worthy opponent for Artemis in terms of animations. I hope we get at least a 0.6 remaster this year.

Hello,
First of all, I'm sorry for the radio silence but I thought it would be better to just work instead of repeating myself and shower myself with input that doesn't help me get any further.
I also want to apologize for the waiting time and let me be entirely honest here, after trying to make the game in Blender and having to put that on ice I did lose most of my momentum.
I take full responsibility for that.
Anyways, enough of that and let's get to some news.
2. Upgrade, Previews & comparisons.
I will show you some comparisons (Old/New WiAB) along the way while I'll explain some stuff. (All images are in Full Res for download at the bottom of the post.)
Miru and MC deciding on what to do next.

I managed to find a reasonably priced 3090 and also ordered 64GB of RAM.
The WIAB PC is now almost even with the SG PC (Worse CPU and less RAM, though.)
Anyways, I was able to render again and you'll not recognize this scene from the old WiAB. It's completely new.

I sculpted her ass and boobs in Zbrush and they look... phenomenal.
3. Animation Preview.
I also have to show some animation previews.
As many of you know, I have very little experience with lewd animations, which are very different from cinematic animations.
I certainly don't want to create some shitty loops and stuff and found something I personally really like.
I want the "Lewd-cinematic" to build upon itself... Start with some teasing and it ends in some love-making.
At the moment, I've created around 20 animations for the Miru lewd scene and a few more will follow.
I prepared a small preview video. (I left out some steps and only included Blowjob stuff to not spoiler too much.)
Please keep in mind that I'm very inexperienced with lewd animations and Daz really sucks if you want to go outside the norm.

to see the video.But there is something else I'm working on and started adding it to the animation.
Normally, A vagina in Zbrush is pretty much stone. It has some morphs and stuff but you'll only get a little movement from it.
Daz sadly offers no type of physics and I had to create my own with Zbrush.

to see the video.As you can see in this video, I animated the entire pussy to move with the penetration, etc.
This was my first try to use Zbrush in such a precise animation environment but I'm certain that over time my skills will improve and we'll be looking at some pretty sweet animations.
Okay, I think that's enough for one post.
When WiAB will release, it will feature a completely new design of the Main Menu and Gallery.
There'll also be a special NTR gallery added, which will only be visible if you hit a switch.
Also, from now on I'll be posting weekly dev logs until the release to keep everyone up to date.
Again, I'm sorry for the delay. I'll make sure to use the momentum I'm currently building up to never let this happen again.
Anyways, enough words. I'll let actions speak.

I hope he keeps that basketball court scene. It was one of the best scenes in any game I've ever played. Iconic.
I would say that separating the games makes it so that people who aren't aware of the other games are more likely to sub. If he had them both in the same place he's more likely to lose current subs and make less new ones. Not saying that separating them is wrong, just that it makes more sense from a business standpoint.
