There are holes in the plot no question about it. From what I see neither Nika or The Cheeto
{I love that nickname!}are related. Unless the writer screwed up. At-least from what has been
reading especially when Nika was talking with Zara about parents. Or do I owe the writer an apology

due to me misunderstanding of that scene. :unsure: Any-who.....when the hell is the first chapter
gonna drop? It's been 15 months already!..... o_O

It's been less than 12 months since the official release of Ch5 full, not beta. SUre it's been longer since the plot moved forward, but the time since the last update to the OP is what it is.

Regards Nika and Nami, we're all wondering how Ocean will explain the situation. My guess is that we'll find out what the deal between them is when NIka starts talking about the other deal he has with Nami that no one knows (if you take her on the night walk in ch4.5 at VIc's house). So really, we're left wondering, and we might not even find out in this next update. I think Ocean can't keep drawing that tension out (of not knowing what the situation is between Nika and Nami) for much longer though, it'll just keep frustrating people more than the secret is worth to the story.

This is assuming Ocean's not just avoiding answering those questions right now, who knows?

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:sneaky:}Guess we have to wait
to see what he does here with Nika and The Cheeto.:unsure:

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.

No, your pfp was just a bit memorable :) In any case, it's best to look at the OP of the thread to see if there's been an update - until there's been an update, you'll just get the same answer. Wiab will b updated sooner though.

If you're using a patch for any version other than Season 1 full, it'll screw the game up. The uncut mod linked in the OP is the only one worth touching, I don't think anything else has been done that works properly with season 1 full.

Keep in mind that any mod has the potential to break your saves on import to season 2. Also, it's important to note that fan made mods can't predict what Ocean's story is, so some dialogue changes might actually not make sense later in the story.

One of the non canon treat sets. But it's not impossible that there might be that plan, otherwise, why would we be introduced to her therapist? I imagine there will be a touching scene, almost the opposite of when Sasha stretched Nika's legs, with Nika stretching Vic's legs and she realises she can feel his touch or something.

I think if we promised Vic we will get through this together and Nika be there to support her (in or out of her path) she might walk again, it will be wholesome af when this update comes out in 2028
