- L&P's Quote from the update.I just wanna let you know, that I have some private stuff to do in the next few days, and can't work my regular time. But from the next week Wednesday on, I have zero plans until March (except for maybe X-mas).
So from the 13th to the 20th, he's taking care of whatever private stuff he has to take care of for him. His work should resume on the 20th.

We all know the game is coming sometime in November or December, I'm not sure what else there is to hope for. Stop watching for daily progress because you're just going to be disappointed.

I agree at this point. And when L&P shifts to event base updates starting in the next update, will he use a progression bar? Will there be a point? Some people think there is no point to it now, and they could be right.

I don't think he will. If new releases are "quick" it may not be worth it to have a progress graphic. But if each event takes 2 months then he may keep it, but that'll really highlight how slow he is.

This P.D. will be his biggest yet, and the development time for this P.D. will be 13+ months. So one can conclude the updates will get bigger. On the other hand, he may have some P.D. that the renders may be shorter, but I think, in the end, the P.D. cycles are only going to get longer.
I wouldn't be surprised now if we see one P.D. take two years to complete, and this is the only option to show that members are getting regular updates. However, I don't know if this will be a viable option, considering how short the updates will be now. Some updates probably won't interest many readers unless they follow the entire storyline unchained on the filthy side.

Yeah, the new system is gonna be interesting indeed. Best case scenario would likely be a ~4 week cycle for each update, but I have this feeling that it's gonna turn into something else. Probably even bigger events render wise, and like you said possibly up to 2 years for a P.D, worst case scenario. I hope not, but I can already see the upcoming mental breakdowns in this thread.
And if it really comes down to this, it would delay the completion of the game to atleast the year 2057. I can already see future generations playing P.D 25+ in their underground bunkers on planet Mars. lol

Alright, I see that you have edited this post with more text. So let me respond in kind. I will put my post behind a filter/spoiler this time.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.
Log in or register now.
If the announcement was made later, it doesn't matter. He has his story laid out. We don't know that the twist will happen, he knows. He is not writing the story on a whim.
Do you know this for a fact? Have you seen his script or outline for the entire story? I would be very surprised if you have seen it. He is editing his story all the time as he had stated he does this constantly. This update is a prime example as he had to add text to Aiden's event because he increased it. So yes, he is writing or rewriting his story on a whim as you would say.

Lose the progression bar!!!!!!!!!!That will put a few people on here out of a job,how will they cope
I don't see much change in Dylan's behavior. Like that too. We're talking about a couple of days in Dylan's / Sophia's life. How steep do you want Dylan's learning curve to be? There are a couple of signs that Dylan is actually learning, like the scene when Elli asked for help fixing her computer. There, breaking the eternal cycle of small and large nasties between siblings was actually a step that made Dylan appear more adult. The scene in the park with the hobos, on the other hand, was just showing off the new skills. The Sophia realized that Dylan can actually defend himself and his mother was just a side effect. It's right that Dylan doesn't have to beg anymore to get favors from Sophia, but the scene in the park when Sophia allowed him to "test" her ass had nothing to do with a more mature Dylan.
It's not that Dylan has "grown" in the past few days, it's that Sophia has gotten "smaller". And that's right, because we're supposed to be watching Sophia's corruption process and not Dylan's.
People grow / learn quickly when external circumstances change. What external circumstances have changed for Dylan other than the family moved to another country? Only external pressure will cause Dylan to change quickly. But he has a mother who intercepts everything, really everything, and takes on herself to protect the family. Unless L&P has planned dramatic changes for Dylan in history, we will puzzle and argue about Dylan's behavior until the end (in the year 2035
).

The update is 99th percentile to be done before Christmas and probably 85% likely to be done before Thanksgiving. People are being silly and unreasonable if they believe otherwise.Lose the progression bar!!!!!!!!!!That will put a few people on here out of a job,how will they cope
Personally I think update drops first week of December and L&P resumes work after new year with target for .150 in May-July

I agree. On this site, I have seen a few devs sending a weekly or fortnightly update, either directly on here or indirectly via Patreon. It's enough to give a sense of progress without worrying if a [articular day jumps zero or five per cent.

It's not about the hand on the butt more than the conversation they were having together. When this arc started, it was supposed to be about "Sex-Ed." The learning curve doesn't have to be steep due to the time constants he has in the novel, but there hasn't been a learning curve for "Sex-Ed." with Dylan. It was primarily perverted stuff, which is why I was never a fan of starting with "Sex-Ed" with Dylan, as it is hard to move out of into another theme.
I agree that he has a good conversation and learning with Ellie, but if the reader chooses to follow that path. The path and comparison become viable if the reader unlocks that path with the other path they are playing. If they don't open it, then it just becomes a stand-alone story.
I wouldn't say he was showing off his new skill as it was more about defending Sophia. He talked about what he had learned two days after the fight, which impressed Sophia not only that her reaction was completely different as she described this in her inner thoughts about Dylan.
It's right that Dylan doesn't have to beg anymore to get favors from Sophia, but the scene in the park when Sophia allowed him to "test" her ass had nothing to do with a more mature Dylan.
Her reactions and thoughts after Dylan defended her allowed him to touch or "Test" her ass. All the scenes before that had her set limits on what Dylan could do. When he was in the changing room at the mall and asked if he could touch her breast, the answer was no. In the Viagra incident, when she talked with Liam and Dylan grabbed her butt, she grabbed his hand and pulled it off. During the Bikini event, he had to be careful where he placed his hand above her butt in the lower back region. This scene was different as Dylan was now, in her eyes, a protector instead of the "Sex-Ed" theme, which could fit a romance side of the story in the end, which a strong protector would fit that narrative perfectly. Going from someone was wanking off in 4 different P.D.s, begged, spied, and manipulated to now a defender is a change in character and maturity. Keep in mind, L&P has to develop these characters quickly because of the 30 P.D. window he gave himself to tell the story, and he has 18 P.D.s left. So it will jump around, which is why time-lapse was brought up numerous times to help with the realism part of this.
In all the Arcs, you watch both characters as the character that Sophia is courting has a role to play. Although Sophia is the protagonist in most of the arcs, Some POV scenes may vary; with Dylan, she teaches him about women to get a girlfriend and grow as a character. But as you said, we're supposed to see Sophia explore different levels of sexuality, lust, and love. And as I said and you pointed out, there will be a lot of growing and learning quickly because of the amount of P.D. time he has left. So the production time may end in 2035 (that seems a little bit short.It's not that Dylan has "grown" in the past few days, it's that Sophia has gotten "smaller". And that's right, because we're supposed to be watching Sophia's corruption process and not Dylan's.
People grow / learn quickly when external circumstances change. What external circumstances have changed for Dylan other than the family moved to another country?

Unless L&P has planned dramatic changes for Dylan in history, we will puzzle and argue about Dylan's behavior until the end (in the year 2035
), but that still doesn't change the fact that he has 18 P.D. left to tell the story, which would take many years from a realistic standpoint P.D.s to tell. So again, Characters' growth and corruption will have to develop quickly.

I could see him combining the events in the morning on the next P.D. but the other's IDK...

1. Literature Lesson (4th Task)
Bonus Scene - Most Likely "The 1st Comfortable Solution"Are in the morning?
I also thought that the Morello event was also in the morning?
So unless he has changed something 4th task(+bonus) and Morello are in the morning of Playable day 13.
Or am I missing something here?
