I honestly don't recall anything in SG that alluded specifically to William. It's entirely possible Miru decided to keep his child even though they were no longer together.

And then there's also Miru's unnamed sister in the old WIAB. I'm not sure if it's been made clear or not that Ayua is Miru's child or niece.

Basicly you are right, that is the the reason because i have written "til now" in my post. Still, the odds are pointing towards my guess. We can only work with that facts that we already know, and that are the events and persons that apeared in the old WIAB.

In SG Ayua point out Katie Zane as her aunt, that means that Willian is the father of Ayua. An with that what we know, till now, it is very unlikely that William has a offspring with Mirus unnamed sister - but your point still not impossible. The game itself was till now complicated enough, other reasons would make the game much more complicated.

The story of SG and WIAB needs a common canon storyline and with the information we have, it's most likely that William and Miru will stay together. Of course, this is all just theory and Ocean can still say "fuck you all" and pull another story out of the hat. Personally, with the usable information we have from both games, I think this is the most likely set-up.

What is the schedule of release of this VN?
Click to expand...
Hard to say, because the reworked version of the game has till now only one release. If we use developement of both games from the younger past as a base you are good if you think in a six month update cycle.

Ohh thats a long time, but the reworked chapter seems promising. Would be following this one closely.

I kinda like old chapter 6 Gina better tbh. Thanks for sharing.

I like it...but I think I still prefer the old Gina's facial structure.
Click to expand...
That's what got me. Especially around the chin. I liked her old look a bit more, the new face seems a little too squished/rounded. I can't argue that the actual quality appears rather improved, but she doesn't look quite right there - and this was my biggest worry with the remake, that too many characters wouldn't look quite right. I'll adapt to Miru, I guess, even though I preferred old Miru.

And despite how good Katie still looks in the new pics I've seen, something about her feels off somehow, and I'm not entirely sure why/what it is. I think it's a combination of the lips and eyes.

It's fascinating how much her appearance changes when switching between her two hairstyles.
This one makes her look almost approachable... While the other gives +10 Boost on Bitchyness.

I like the OG hairstyle, too. And I think her eyes had a slightly deeper blue/green mix to them.

I hope we get a repeat of the scene where she's being given pleasure from behind, that was one of my favorite old renders, even with the unfortunate light patterns on her face.

Just a random question - There is a horror tag for this but I don't remember seeing any horror content in the old version.

Or was this considered horror?

Hello,

I announced the delay of the Dev Log yesterday on Discord.
If you're interested in joining the discord server click

1. Development impact
So, I actually didn't even want to mention it, as it's personal but I think everything that more or less impacts the development and is super sensitive should be mentioned to my supporters.
We had a fire a few days ago, which resulted in one family member being hospitalized due to smoke inhalation.
The person is fine again.
When said event took place, I immediately saved my PCs. (No joke.) and everything was under control relatively fast.
It took away two days, as one of my PCs had a little issue after I ripped out the cables in order to get them to safety. The PC has recovered, too.

2. Music License news
I'm currently in contact with a lawyer, to help me solve some license agreements, etc.
And I'm also in contact with ArtList again... And I asked them about the possibility of a custom license... Minimum Negotiation Price 10.000$ a year.
Realistically we're looking at 15k-20k.
Which I would pay for full coverage and access to a big music library.
Anyways, at first, it looked like we didn't come to an agreement, but there's still some hope.
I'll keep you guys updated as I haven't heard back yet.

But if things keep going badly, I will have to remove some music from WiAB.
Alternatively, I'm trying to get other music producers on board for some custom music.
We'll see how that goes and it might only be for SG at first, as WiAB has significantly less support and can't really afford it right now. (Except I'll manage to make a deal to use it in both games/all games.)

3. General development
In the last Log, I did mention that SG was close to a release. Naturally, a game in its release weeks gets a little more attention.
As soon as the postwork phase starts for Summer's Gone, I'll do all the animations left for WiAB Chapter 2.
That way I can work most efficiently.
I really enjoyed writing WiAB lately. I'm so glad I decided to do these extreme changes to the story and characters.

Chapter 2 will most likely release not that long after the SG Ch4 release.

4. Previews
I don't have many previews, as many are quite spoilery. (4k attached)

I will soon get rid of Katie's stupid mouth piercing... Moving things like her arm affects that stupid thing. It's a pain in the ass to work with and pretty much a death sentence during animations.
Until I find a better asset, I'll remove her lip piercing.

Casual Leia

Leia being even more *cough* casual


A rather short log today as work can be quite repetitive and not everything can be shown. (Spoiler.)
Soon I'll be starting advanced training in After Effects and Premiere.

I guess that was it... I probably forgot something.
I'll see you guys in the next log.

- Ocean

Until it was discontinued, the old WIAB only had that scene where he raves about the drug as the only element of horror. I don't remember reading about more being added at that time (even more so because chapter 6 was already something else and the rework was coming).

It certainly doesn't justify the horror tag though.

Is it just me or does the new Katie in the latest preview look nothing like the original Katie?
Click to expand...
No, i think so too, which is a bit sad to me, because she is my favourite in Wiab.

no, it's not just you... but I want to believe that the last one is because of the pose and the hairstyle...
Click to expand...
I hope you're right, and i think with the new hairstyle she looks alot more like Bella from SG.. of course, i mean its the same hairstyle. I love Katie's original hair much more, its so unique.

In these 2 renders i love Katie the most, she is just so pretty, i hope Ocean will make her justice again in the remake:
