You know as well as I that chapter 5 was done late Nov. Yes the Official steam release was a few months
later but even Ocean said he was already working on season 2 last Dec. But it's just me being impatient lol!
Can you blame me? I love this game and I love all girls in it{The Cheeto big time

}Guess we have to wait
to see what he does here with Nika and The Cheeto.
Yeah, I understand the release date, but I still did a full play through in May once the official release was out. And in that time, although Ocean had some previews of S2Ch1 leading up to the beta, with everything that happened then (patreon + steam) I doubt he did any real work on S2 until after he'd dealt with steam.
I of course am keen to see how the story continues, definitely

WiaB's next update will give me plenty to think about while I wait for this, whatever the connection might be moving forward.
You know as well as I do, Ocean made the first renders for the second season back in 2023. At least that's what he said in his log that was published after the release of Chapter 5 beta.
Of course, but I kinda feel after the beta release Ocean was probably pretty slow with S2 while dealing with the ~2200 renders left of the rework, WiaB's patreon disappearing and the failed steam limbo he tried to do to get in the 16 rating. There were still things I found out from the rework, other than Siegbert. There wasn't huge amounts, but there were some pretty important things.
- we found out NIka had been charged in the past, but the charge was dropped,
- we found out that coach Hill had been keeping an eye on Nika from before Summer, suggesting he is really good, or someone wanted an eye kept on him,
- we found out that Dwight doesn't always wear sunglasses, and is used to dealing with a drunk Ayua,
- we found out Zoey is still around and is supposedly friendly with Amber and Bella
- oh, and a demon cat... for some reason.
So even if small, there is more to the story than there was before the rework. The point I'm making is not that the story has advances much in 15 months, but it was updated less than 12 months ago with more than what we had. Whether or not if felt like a good update to people is beside the point that it happened, and Ocean seemed to pretty much put a hold on everything until he got steam sorted. It was a huge wait to find out what happened with WiaB and patreon for example.
As much as I like the game I hope Ocean never has the bright idea to do a ~7000-8000 render chapter again, unless it's a finale.
