Now it all depends on the speed production of the remaining animations. There are about two weeks left to complete the static renders. Mid-late November probably.

Do you mean you don't think Quinn has done worse things to the MC that Jill did?

Quinn has literally knocked the MC out with a taser. For no reason other than she just felt like it. You really don't think this is far worse than telling college supervisors someone was physically assaulted and they should intervene?

This is so unfair. It just means Quinn really likes MC. Sarah even said it at the cumpetition. Also at the event Quinn said she had dibbs on pervert. Quinn is very sweet in her own special way.

Hey, it is DPCs show; I am thankful for him etc. of interest though:
projected release of Ep9, based on the numbers above....1 year after the last useful update.

 

[znar25]

None yet. I would argue that all chosen/ pursued LIs + Quinn are in love with the MC at the end of the season.

Personally I think that Josy already loves the MC if she’s pursued. A strong case can also be made for the “already taken“ princess Maya.

I totally agree with this. Main LIs plus Quinn. Based on saves I have for each LI / Side path with no other LIs or sides so as to see some kind of baseline.

Status update Episode 9

​

Okay, we got some static numbers, but the animation numbers are at best unhelpful and at worst concerning. In the 19 days since DPC's last numerical update, he has completed 545 statics and an unknown number of animations. For statics, that gives him an average of 201 statics/week over that time, and an overall average of just under 142 statics/week.

For animations... well, he said he had 17 in the queue and 70-100 left to pose - so an average of 102 incomplete animations. Now at last count he had 201 completed animations and a target of approximately 305. If we put all that together and take it at face value, it suggests DPC has completed approximately 3 animations in the last 3 weeks, an extremely concerning rate of 1/week. Obviously it's entirely possible that DPC has quietly upped his final animation target numbers and thus the completion rate is higher. But it's also possible he's just been working on ginormous animations and progress really is that slow. So here are the best charts I can give you:

Spoiler: Charts Are What They Are

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

As expected, the large static workload has fallen away pretty quickly. Animations were always the sticking point, and at the moment they sure appear to be stuck. Now again, we need to remember that these charts are just estimates; if, for example, we assume DPC has inflated the target animation numbers to match Episode 8, then we'd be cruising at a far more spritely 10 animations/week and would be finished in late October. Still not great news, but better than the charts current projection of something like June.

IMHO the latter scenario is more likely (DPC does tend to one-up the previous episode, after all), so I still think a November release is plausible. But until DPC deigns to give us the numbers that matter, wild speculation is what we're left with. I think it's clear that an October release isn't happening, so we'll just have to be patient and wait for more data.

December realease, here we go *sigh*

Quinn doesn't deserve happiness.

anyone have the official walkthrough bought on steam? how is it to play with it, it just opens that pdf while playing or is something like the mods from this site

 

[hakuna-matata]

Next Year release?

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

Next Year release?

Mid-late november most likely. He's finishing with statics, animations are now faster and will be even faster when static renders finish processing. Two months left, no more.

Status update Episode 9

​

Well, with the release of the intelrude i guessed that Episode 9 will be maybe out in late october... early summer i went with mid-late November...

And now even late November seems a little optimistic. Considering playtesting, polishing and such... and that he didnt really tested the second half of the episode so far cause many things are missing... early december is realistic now.

Ill stick to late November, cause i dont wat to be too pesimistic... but yeah, late November is a optimistic guess now. But still able to achieve. October is complete out of the window, early november too.

IIRC it is built into the game.

 

[magaclaawe]

200,000 units sold of FreshWoman on steam. Now Imagine those numbers for Being a DIK and DrPinkCake still cant hire a team. Really saying things like he wants to have control over his own game. He will be the boss. Everything that will be in the game is what he wants.
Really he should stop being greedy and hire people when his game probably sold more units than most Indie developers.
He is just milking people at this point and if he makes just 10% of what he makes now it will make no difference on the game.
Call him out people.

Status update Episode 9

​

but where does this DPC fixation on not giving spoilers come from?
it seems really incomprehensible to me

think of the major plot twists we've had so far, how many renders were so explicit that they could really spoil the effect? very few

instead now it seems impossible for DPC to give a preview that doesn't risk revealing too much (and in fact he has already given us two pairs of renders from the same scene, Josy and Maya and the two with Sage, and one that is a natural continuation of the closing of the chapter...)

the next one is the first chapter of the new season, it is really hard for it to be so full of twists and turns

 

[FappingWorldwide]

anyone have the official walkthrough bought on steam? how is it to play with it, it just opens that pdf while playing or is something like the mods from this site

It opens a form of edited pdf when you press G, so it's nice and handy. The best part is that allows you to jump to relevant section, based on where you are in the game. If you can't be asked to look for all renders or buttons like me, it also makes that part of the collection quick and painless.

The game crashes everytime at the exact same point
