In terms of spoiling... its even a spoiler in DPCs mind if we can see what weather it is outside.
There is this Episode 11 picture with snow all over the place... but its obvious not a ingame scene, just a teaser for the episode to come.
But we dont know WHEN there will be snow, it very well could be at the very end. Or throughout the whole episode, that might be a thing DPC doesnt want us to see yet.
So he has to choose a render where there is nothing to see of the outside and the clothes dont give away a thing either. That is already not an easy task.
Renders out of a partylocation isnt possible either... we would see in an instant that its about a party and where. And so on and on. Sure we wouldnt really care for a little spoiler like this, but DPC does. But what should i say... we all know too that DPC has a really weird mind anyways.
Back to the topic at hand. The DEV report...
over 2000 render done and working heavy at the animation queue. That is a good sign. 2000 renders arent that much at this time... but he can put out that number in 1 month if he wants to. He concentrated very much on holding up the animation queue which is key for a faster release than the last 2 episodes and he realized that. Lets say he is aiming for about 5000 renders again, that could be done in june. Of course he cant focus solely on static renders... writing takes way more time, but its a task he can check off very fast if everything else is out of the way. That he was able to make 2000 static renders already which is a task that is not very high in the priority list (1. animations 2. writing 3. coding and than we might have static renders) shows us that everything else runs pretty good.
It doesnt really help to predict a release date... but at least it shows us that its not gonna be the same like the last episode where he was doing a lot of animations in the last 2 months of development and everythign else was done already. I remember a DEV report out of october last year where he told us he is more or less done with development and just waiting now for 80 animations to be rendered... and everybody with a big sigh in this thread: "oh god 10 weeks just waiting on pointless animations to see something spinning or walking"
It seems that he will not make this mistake again.
Iam still on the November-December train though... but it could very well be earlier.
