i hear many people talking about the author's state of mind. Or how hard it is to prevent burnout. The solution seems rather simple to me as (i have experienced the same) Change professions. GO to a company that let's you create and go home at night and do something else. I have a family member that did just that. Still makes good bread and is always happy. Don't misunderstand i love both VN's,but if it really is that hard on you maybe you should think about what i just said.

Warscared 's furious reaction when he finds out that Ocean dares to changes anything about his beloved Sasha
More like the MC's beloved and this dude's dream girl. His hand is his Sasha. The only one that will be kissing, touching and fucking her, is the MC.

I'm sorry
No need to be sorry, you didn't do anything wrong. Just some random dude that tries to be funny with his stories and such. A jokester, if you will.

How good is this game?
Play it and find out. You should experience it for yourself and give it your own opinion. Do not rely too heavily on others. I've played games people praised and I left it not caring so much about it. Everyone is different.

You make a good point for a creator currently dealing with burnout or suffering from it and unable to find a way past it.

From a creator's perspective though, I think it is worth it to try to find a way forward, so that a creator can continue to do something that they love. The key is being able to find that way forward.

Ocean shared/continues to share his journey with us, and this (burnout) was something he seems to have overcome - he went through that valley and found a way to the other side.

He is now Very productive, actively works on the various aspects of his health (physical, mental, even social - he's been honest about it in his dev diaries), and he works on two related AVNs simultaneously to help avoid the burnout that lurks on the fringes for many creative people.

If you have seen the CH summaries of what he adds with each new release, then looked at the quality of those renders, the animations, music and story, he is actually far more productive than most of the creators out there.

I know some people new/newer to this thread post about frustrations with a creator who is dividing his time between two AVNs versus focusing on just one.

From what I've seen of both SG and WIAB, both are very good/great AVNs and, as a $ supporter, I am fine with Ocean managing his workload and maintaining his creativity by dividing his time by simultaneously developing both AVNs.

Would all of us like more great content faster - sure - but we'd be all for that with Any creative work we enjoyed from AVNs like SG to books, TV series etc.

It is looking like we will have the next release of WIAB and SG in the next 60 days and I am Especially looking forward to more SG!

Cheers! :coffee:

I would say half the people I have/had contact with have had a burnout in the last few years. Me inclusive. Must be something wrong with the world...

If I could I would support a few of my favorite creators. But unfortunately not in the financial position to spend money on nice stuff for years... Live sucks...

I'm always happy when I see people create beautiful stuff. This is one of those games...

I'm worried this guy is going to spend months or years doing rewrites and changes to past scenes and not actually continue the story most creators seem to fall into that loop after succeeding in making a decent game.

This game is 5 years already, and it just has reached 4.5 chapters. How long it will take to wait for the final chapter of this game? 5 years more :V

So is this new Chapter that's gonna be released going to have a rework for previous chapters or just new content. I've played the game and I want to replay it again because I didn't play the 4.5 Full. I'm hesitating if I should play it now or wait till release so that if there is a rework I don't have to play it twice again.

It will be probably how it was before, first will be v5.0beta (new content, no rework), and then cca. 2 months later v5.0 with rework complete. And it's last if I'm not mistaken...

Bad news for me... i was hoping that 5.0 would be rework and new content in one launch... fuuuck :cry:. But it is what it is.
The most positive thing is then next v5.0full will be the last rework. (let's hope we don't see another in future) Next will be chapter 2...

Without a doubt this is one of the things most people here want to finish (i think), the reworks have been good for the season 1 ,but in future actualizations can´t be more reworks... players can´t be replaying the game always :LOL:

Ocean figured out than in near future his game would be average at best (graphic). And he bought new expensive hardware (read: graphic cards) and improved dramatically render wise. Now he had prolong this game before next rework. Everything that matters now is how long it will last. 3,4 years, more? In current speed game will not be near complete in that timeline, means; new hardware (AI) and new rework for game to be still fresh looking. We will see how this will continue.
Story is good, renders are great, animations (cut scenes) are probably best in any AVN. Really good game, pretty balanced between render/animation/story quality...
