I think 79 characters are needed by L&P not to corrupt Sofia, but to tell us an interesting story.
The 79+ characters play a part in interaction and corruption as well as it tells the story. How do you think you acquire all the GW/Filthy points in the novel? The question is could he have told the story with fewer characters? There are other VNs out there that have less character and delivers the same quality in both Story and Visual.

Whereas I find being pessimistic far more pragmatic, particularly when it comes to L&P. Take the last three updates for example. The evidence we had was that the Ellie/Julia event was just going to be the two sunbathing. Maybe Sophia spied on them. What we got was one of the hottest scenes in the game so far. And Sophia's first dick besides Liam (in the Alyssa event).

Evidence for the v.115 update for something hot was Ellie waiting to join Sophia in the shower. Nudity was assured, but there was only indications it was just going to be a shower. What we got instead was a whole bunch of Ellie's backstory, and her jilling herself off. And Sophia accepting a kiss from Ellie without hesitation. And in the prison event, even if just a fantasy sequence, the first scene of Sophia having sex with someone besides Liam.

Evidence for v.130 of something hot was nil, and at least for me, I was expecting 5 minutes of content. Turns out I got 10.

This update, the closest I'm expecting to hot content is Nat admitting she has the hots for Sophia and actively flirting with/teasing her. Maybe Cathy and Andy admitting they want to sleep with Sophia too.

Might my predictions be wrong? Sure, I'm only going by the evidence L&P gives us. Might the update be hotter that I'm predicting? Wouldn't be the first time, but I count that as a pleasant surprise, so a win. And if my predictions are also right, that's also a win. Either way, I'm not disappointed, and people being disappointed seems to happen a lot right after an update is released. I learnt that lesson after Emma joined the Aiden route.
Yes, he has already confirmed the Sophia/Nathalie event is very hot and Sophia will have new lesbian experiences. Dylan/Ellie/Christine could also be interesting. Possibly the lolly teaser is a hint of a BJ .... not implemented, but may be called for?
And even though I don't like Sam "the other guy" as a character and I don't wish him any progress with Sophia until Dylan has gone similarly far with her.... unfortunately, I'm sure things will heat up already. It is a porn game after all. And Sophia has already progressed quite a bit in her filthy path. So why shouldn't anything hot happen here? :cautious:

I don´t get it. What do you mean by "... Emma joined the Aiden route"?

What are you finding too difficult to understand? If you're not doing Aiden's tasks, you no longer get the Emma events. Same as Alyssa. That's explained clearly in the walkthough.

I'm also sure that Sam and Sofia's event will be quite hot!

We all remember that last time, despite the fact that Dylan and Liam were under the balcony, Sofia arranged a striptease for Sam to tease him.

Probably this evening, when they are alone, maybe Sofia will pamper Sam, even if Liam, Patricia or Dylan is somewhere nearby!
And even more so, everything can be very hot if Sofia is comfortable because they are completely alone and no one can interfere with them.

Here you can see the whole dimension of the scene. It's really tough working with it. To render it I even had to NVLink my two GPUs, becauce the 24 GB VRAM of a single one were too little for it. I'm glad when it's over and I move to part 2 of the event which will be much easier to work with.
By this statement I take it that L&P has only been using 1gpu to render, so my question is why is he only using 1 gpu ?
Was all of this just for bragging rights?
If this bar event is not that important there is a lot of things that the dev could of done to reduce rendering times without the use of NVlink
because rendering with 2 would go too fast
and he wants to render with style, not speed

While we're in the DLC, why not put day 13 and 14 in DLC while we're at it? :rolleyes:
We would save time and finally get down to business. :cool:
Day 13 I understand, but 14? Since the previous Ellie event was Ellie jilling off in front of Sophia, I'm at least expecting a conversation between Ellie and Sophia about how it's okay for Sophia to get off in front of Ellie, which would be needed for a later event of Sophia getting off in front of Ellie possibly on playable day 16. And day 14 also has Patricia. Not only hot, but also comedic relief. No way that should be palmed off to DLC.

Any reference to DLC WRT the Sam event I'm assuming has to do with the more superfluous details of the event, like who the other patrons are, who the main band is, any dancing that might occur and Sophia and co letting loose etc.

I stand by it. HOWEVER, DLC content doesn't count. It has to be in the next release.




It does seem absurd. I often think you're too negative Viper, but it's a bad look for a dev to tell people "Hey, this scene that I've been working on for two months? Yeah, don't expect too much."
That sound like a little fear.

I do completely agree with your assessment. If he DLC's this when will that happen. In the 2040 to 2050 time frame? Who gives a rats ass by then? I have said before he needs to make this a good release (pun intended). If he barely moves Sam's needle (Ha ha ha) then that path is threatened with obscurity or the infamous DLC. If all this update does it highlight a little more Nathalie and open the swinger route by introducing that possible path then his production rate moves to the center of the stage for all issues. He either gets into an acceptable rate or patrons need to vote with their feet.

Sure, but this is new. Cutting a scene short so that additional content is only available via DLC, he hasn't done that yet. Coach Sophie is one thing, but that never really got off the ground. This scene with Sam has been in the works for a long time, and now he's going to only partially complete it and leave the rest for a undefined DLC? That's bold.
Nah, that's getting burned out and a signal he is not interested in completing this.

At present I believe the real problem is the number of characters in this scene, setting up the location took him a lot less time than most expected. This scene shouldn't be long, around 12-15 % of the 35% in my opinion. The remaining half will have less characters which will improve things a little. Also after what KillJoys shared with us I hardly speculate a car drive with Sam. Though lighting can be tough I would expect that he has figured out a lot about it by now, since that's what he is most focused about everytime. I should no longer take him as much time.

The Cathy scene is also not going to have a lot of characters, so I expect that to be decently paced once the location is setup.
Expect the early December release. Pre Christmas to be the holiday present to his patrons. If it rolls to January he will be a complete fail for something he is apparently gutting.

I agree with you as I think that he wants to concentrate on other characters(maybe).
If he is not interested in AwAm then it seems like a waste to do a 4k scene which could of been done quicker but still great quality but his ego is the problem

After all, I like to think optimistically, and I guess L&P was thinking something when he claimed it would be ready by October. Let's just assume that the bar scenes are the most elaborate and the next scenes with him and Sophia take place somewhere that doesn't require much effort. In the car, on the beach, on a hill, on the balcony, ...
The event with Cathy/Andy takes place in their apartment. So maybe just the living room. Considering all that... maybe it could work out with October after all.
Sorry but, can pigs fly? That ain't gonna happen unless he guts this update and the result will be as Talcum and I have said a clear indication he is in the SNC, ICSTOR mode of burned out.

Dec 11th marks the same length of time it took to make v.130. Any release after this only indicates that his process is out of control, and any of the worst-case scenarios I've been predicting have been underestimated, so the reality of events like Dylan and Sophia actually fucking are further away than my expectation of around 2031.

Kind of :ROFLMAO:.
He still has work to do when he has to create a big scene with lots of characters, here ashitanojoe
