Umm.. just here to know if its possible to get all 4 answers right in the boob guessing competition at the pink rose (at the first time you go there with all the DIK's), and if its possible I would like the answers if a gentleman or a lady is willing to give..
you have an official walkthrough under the extras spoiler in the first post on this thread (same is for any other game for walkthroughs and various cheating addons)
but here's the sum of it

Status update Episode 9

I've mostly been focusing on static renders this week. I've produced the remaining environment renders for the final free roam event and worked on many shorter scenes.

4314 static renders are posed, of which about 200 are in the render queue.

Of what I have planned, 3 scenes are left to write, and 13 scenes are missing art. Of those 13 scenes, 4 are lewd scenes that are missing animations; 2 are longer lewd scenes, and 2 are shorter ones.

After making a bit more art, I will playtest and see how the episode feels for all branches, and if needed, I will modify/add scenes to make it feel better. I don't have a full grasp of the flow for the second half of the episode yet, as it's been mostly incomplete when I played bits of the episode. It's all part of the polishing process that I always carry out.

Due to spoilers, it's getting increasingly harder for me to show you previews at this point. But that also means we're at the end of the development cycle when this almost always happens. I have planned to show you a few more special renders of Josy's and Jill's series and, hopefully, a couple more normal previews.

More static renders are on the schedule for next week, and hopefully, I'll make some time to pose lewd animations. I've picked up a few animation tricks during this development cycle that I want to experiment with in the remaining lewd scenes.

My animation queue has 17 animations in it. My current estimation is that 70-100 animations remain to be posed. I believe they will render faster than other animations I've done for the episode.

Have a nice weekend!

Status update Episode 9

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.

:coffee: Updated BigTable™ with the recent informations.

  • DPC seems back to a production of around 10 Animations per weeks (+50/Months) with +11.
    • With 70-100 left to do, 7-9 weeks are necessary to complete the target... Which is End of November.
  • General progress of the targets since the 4 September (3 weeks):
    • Renders Progress: 78% > 89% | Animations Progress: 67% > 71%
  • DPC finished produce content for 17 scenes out of the 30 left.
  • Historically, with 17 Preview we beat the previous EP8 record; 2 to 5 more Rooster possible.
  • Release Estimate: 36 weeks. 256 Days. Mid November.

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.

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:
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.

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.
