She's texting.
The tense exchange that Jill and Bella have in Bella's bed before Jill goes out to join MC on the sofa in episode 5 makes me suspect there is some history between Jill and Bella that is the reason Bella is not overly concerned about betraying Jill. I mean, she is concerned, but not so much that she stops messing around with MC. All in all, I think the Bella path is the most likely to end in tears and regret, even without the Jill aspect. Not only for MC, but Bella, too.And this is very weird, because Bella rejects the MC if she find out about Cathy.
It won't, because the affinity can't be changed after the second season, we've reached a permanent point, when the MC personality is fully formed. That is, there will be no DIK path for Jill, he will remain who he was.
It's generally very strange that an adult woman at 36 falls in love with a student who is half her age and she doesn't give a damn that she will harm her friend. I always had a creepy feeling in Bella's way. I hope we will be given an explanation for her behavior in future episodes. For me, Bella is very interesting and I like her character, but looking at her actions, and especially if you look closely, then a mental diagnosis suggests itself.
Yes.How close are we till an update ? Saw some sneak peak here and there, is mid october too optimistic ?
Probably. Mid-November seems likelier. DPC keeps trying to out-do himself each episode, so despite promising to scale back some after episode 8, episode 9 is going to be the biggest episode yet. While we are all very eager for the episode, I agree with DPC's approach that he should not hold back just to reach some arbitrary release date. At any rate ep. 9 promises to be huge and, given that there will be multiple threesomes and all kinds of other fun, I am willing to be patient.How close are we till an update ?

Next time he gives complete numbers i'll make a final forecast. The main problem isn't really that he has gone bigger it's that he has slowed down on production.Probably. Mid-November seems likelier.

Do you know if DPC has any system that detects modded files when transferring saves to the Interlude/Season 3? I know it's a problem with each new episode, but since it's a new Ren'Py game I'm wondering if the mod trigger transfers too.
Just asking since I plan to redo all my playthroughs and organise them properly. If there is a system in place I'll play without the mod (as much as I love it), so I can play episode 9 without waiting for the mod to update.
Pennel I'm not sure I follow your question. You've always been able to import S1/S2 export data while using SanchoMod into Interlude. As far as Ep9 goes I have no reason to believe it would be otherwise. See, the "cheats" in SanchoMod don't allow anything too abnormal to occur... all the variables changed behind the scenes are made as though the player had made them during the course of actual gameplay (like, for instance, changing LI paths). So far so good but I have no way of knowing what curve balls a pitcher may throw before they've started their windup on the mound... so to speak.I would fully expect episode 9 imports to be checking if there are incompatible states, e.g. somebody's game who shows them on multiple paths, which is impossible in an unmodded game. Wouldn't surprise me even remotely if he used that as a condition to purge all other exported saves as punishment, like how he was wiping out gallery collections, etc.
Has he really slowed down? The numbers he gives for animations, for example, just count each animation once, but it sounds like the episode 9 animations are going to be bigger (longer) than animations from previous episodes, so it's not really an apples-to-apples comparison, is it? Also, some of the game elements in the Interlude were, in my opinion, very cool, and it seems he plans to incorporate more of those going forward. Finally, there are new minigames and free roams, which take increasingly more time to develop as they become more complex.Next time he gives complete numbers i'll make a final forecast.

Hopefully he'll buy a bunch of the 40 series cards for episode 10 and be able to get back to the episdoe 7 and 8 production levels.
Yes he lost some time with those things and Covid. This episode is likely to take him 6 to 12 weeks longers that episode 8. Which was already 7 weeks longer than episode 7 and 6 weeks longer than episode 6. I'm not giving to much extra time allowance to mini games and stuff since he has added new content like this fairly regularly over the years.Has he really slowed down?

Having said that, I suspect the music changes and the itch.io scam affair cost DPC at least a couple of weeks of productivity due to having to rework the game in the first instance and his freaking out in the second.
The speed difference is likely to have at least something to do with scenes being more populated and thus taking longer to render, between it being a party and DPC's earlier mention how many characters appear in the new episode.That said, you're right animations are a tricky thing to judge, but 'still renders' are a good indication. The last confirmed update was for week 27 with 3569 completed. The same week for epsiode 8 he had 4130 and episode 7 had released with 3723 4 weeks earlier.
MMF with Derek and Sage could be great. Or really any DIK with Sage.Not into MMF myself but I was pretty much ready to go with Derek and Penny. But then Derek was being Derek![]()
