In this forecast, 250 animations are listed as the expected standard. But what if there are 350 of them? Like in episode 9. DPC will speed up rendering, or we won't see updates in september, then it's Halloween, not before:(
The hope is that he will do the rest of the work sooner and be able to focus on the animations at a later stage.
That's the thing about unknowns; they're hard to quantify. :( DPC's estimates in early June suggested the animation total would be on the order of 200-300, so I use the average of 250 as the placeholder. DPC has generally been pretty good at estimating these sorts of things, so the average isn't a bad guess. If the total count winds up being 300, we'd expect it to take ~5 extra weeks, though even that is nebulous. That would probably lead to an early November release, which is plausible but I'd consider it something of a 'worst practical case' scenario at the moment. If the count goes even higher, we wait even longer.

All we can really say for now is that we're still too far away to be certain of anything. Personally I think we can write off August, but even that is *theoretically* possible if DPC goes small and sticks near the 200 animation minimum. Eventually we'll start to get a firmer estimate of how big Episode 9 will be, and that's when we can make some more precise guesses.

The "Cathy incident" happens whatever whenever and however you do as MC - in the same way whatever you do -, therefore it doesn't have ANYTHING to do with MC and his actions.

My bet is: Quinn or Sarah.

The big question is: is he/she the same person who blackmailed Chad?

Whoever blackmailed Chad knew that either he is gay or he is using doping drugs.

So, who knows that Chad is gay or he's doping AND went to the DIK's party? I can only make 3 names: Mel, Sarah and Quinn.

Anyway, as usual, people might want to believe whatever they want to believe. Therefore, I wrote in vain, as usual.
It's hard to say cause we don't know, what had been in the Chad envelope. Thinking of the pictures of the Dawe envelope (selfies/pics from the DIKS banging Arieth) i would believe, someone had pictures showing Chad and Troy and that was in the envelope. But why did Chad thought about MC been the one who sent them, there could be another secret (remember the line And you know what else they might find out if they're watching us closely...) that they try to hide (or maybe the line is about the steroids).

Mel and Sarah knew about Chad and Troy, why should they try to blackmail Chad (he could have guessed them to send pics about C&T). I also don't think Quinn would like to loose their customers (even when they get sugar pills), so there could be another person involved (and the discussion starts over :)). Maybe Vinnie came back to scramble the whole situation, trying to disconnect Quinn and the Alphas to jump in as the new retailer? This is one of the secrets DPC has to resolve or he will get angry mails from all of his patrons.

Status update Episode 9



I've been working on a threesome scene the entire week. I have reached a point where I can move on to something else, but I might have to revisit the scene after playtesting it to make sure it's what I want.

So, the week mostly consisted of posing animations but also some static renders.

I will return to working on free roam events, and static renders the next week. The animation queue is decent-sized again, which bought me time to work on other art.

We're over 2000 produced renders, thus likely over the hump with the static renders for the episode.

45 animations are in the render queue waiting to render, and 150 animations are fully produced. This means we're closing in on 200 total animations for episode 9, and we're also over the hump in this area
.
Have a nice weekend

The one on the right is not Camilla, as her skin isn't dark enough. The consensus is they're Sara and Melanie. I thought at first maybe they were Maya and Josy, but Maya's skin is very distinctive and neither girl in this preview has it.
At first, my guess for the right one was Josy but, as said with the immortal words from Quinn, she has the size of a shrimp. As we see in the preview, both girls stand with nearly straighten legs, maybe the left one is Lily (don't know the exact size of her but she isn't the tallest).

Assuming the light is the same for both girls, i don't think that the right is Melanie. Saras skin is slightly lighter than Mels, there would be not such a big difference as shown in the preview. Maybe these booties are from girls outside the HOTs.

As i read
Jill mansion in bathroom room
there was one question suddenly appeared: Does Jill (as the only female resident in the ANO mansion) have a separate bathroom? We know Tybalt has one, during the play i never saw that Jill has it's own. There is the big one in the first floor, the toilet at the ground floor and maybe one on the second (as there are bedrooms). But does Jill use the public ones (OK, DPC is from Sweden, in Europe, the people are more relaxed and there sometimes are unisex showers, but the setting is like the USA where (public) nudity is nearly a crime) or does she have a separate shower?

I'm pretty sure Chad is blackmailed about being gay, which is why he immediately blamed MC. MC had just been in the changing room while Chad was on the phone, he may have said something that identified Troy before MC arrived, he has no reason to believe MC knew about the doping.

Also Dawe was sent images of Arieth with the DIKs rather than doping evidence against him.

I also think so but where could he got the pics? MC was caught leaving the changing room but there was no Troy, only the phone call (and Chad got pics in the envelope, we saw him looking at them). There must have been a opportunity between the changing room scene and the envelope scene where Chad met Troy (the one, Troy left in the middle of the night was too early, maybe were the pic taken that time but we know MC didn't had a clue whats going on generally that time). If it's like the Dawe pics, where the one is that old (Arieth had an other hair color than since MC came to B&R), the blackmailing Chad pics were taken before story started.

Obvious threesome for DPD to have done is the throuple. Possible new combinations could be two of the vixens and MC or Sarah and Mel as a new restaurant option.

I also think so but where could he got the pics? MC was caught leaving the changing room but there was no Troy, only the phone call (and Chad got pics in the envelope, we saw him looking at them). There must have been a opportunity between the changing room scene and the envelope scene where Chad met Troy (the one, Troy left in the middle of the night was too early, maybe were the pic taken that time but we know MC didn't had a clue whats going on generally that time). If it's like the Dawe pics, where the one is that old (Arieth had an other hair color than since MC came to B&R), the blackmailing Chad pics were taken before story started.
Chad isn't thinking clearly when he receives the notes, he quickly agrees that MC is not the blackmailer when discussing it with Dawe. His immediate suspicion fell on MC because of the changing room phone call he knows MC overheard.

I was avoiding posting a guess about this, because it seemed fairly clear to me these were Sarah and Mel's booties, as their body types and skin tones match the picture, and they're a pair that would believably wear matching costumes. I eliminated the following who might also wear matching costumes with someone else:
  • Camila, because her fine-ass dump truck would dwarf the one on the right
  • Riona, because she's not wearing a bunny costume to the party
  • Josy, because she's shorter than anyone that would conceivably be standing on the left, and the girl on the right stands taller
  • Maya, because it doesn't seem like her style (and also, see Josy's comment above)
  • Sally and KRJ (very sadly), because neither of them are dark-skinned enough to be on the right
  • Any of the Vixens, because the teaser we saw showed them in other costumes
So it seems it's Sarah and Mel.


HOWEVER...

Has no one considered The Pink Rose ladies?
  1. They're attending the party
  2. It's completely plausible that they would go in matching costumes
  3. Playboy Bunny costumes would totally fit their style
Of the group, you can eliminate Rose :cry: and Sandy because their tattoos would show in the preview pic. You can also eliminate Brandi :mad: for obvious reasons. And because neither rear end shows signs of liver spots, you can eliminate everyone's favorite PR lady (you know the one). That leaves Envy, Lily, and Tania who could fit the body type and skin tone of the gal on the left.

So who remains that is dark enough to be on the right?

The Bartender

Now before you go off and say she doesn't count as a PR lady, she grouped herself in with the rest of the strippers:

Bartender 1.png


She is dark skinned, about the right height to match Envy or Lily, seems definitely interested in the MC (as lipe2410 reminded you in case you had forgotten), and her tattoos don't extend down her back side:

Bartender 2.png



Now I'm not saying it's definitely a pair of Pink Rose ladies in the preview, but I am saying that it's a possibility, and considering that, just for the hell of it and just to be different, I'll guess it's Envy and the bartender.

That was my first reaction when I saw her expression when the other teacher was talking to her about Cathy in the teachers' break room. I instantly thought "she did it". Of course her expression is ambiguous and can be interpreted as annoyance, sadness etc. But my gut feeling is that she leaked the photo for revenge. We saw she can be petty and vindictive in the end of ep8 when she threatens Fuckface.
Seriously.

It happened during the DIK's party in the DIK's mansion using the DIK's PC and it was someone who attended that party. Therefore it was a student.

This is the most moronic idea I've ever read here in this thread -snip-
Interesting, I dont think it's beyond the realm of possibility that Burke has spyware on the DIKs laptop (potentially capable of remote access) since he has the Jade/MC footage on his PC when the only known locations are the MC's phone and the DIK laptop... And for Jade to be able to access his PC isnt unreasonable.
I'm not saying I agree with the theory but also calm down on the hate (not banter) :cool:
