Now I am even more certain we're all going to die before this game is ever completed.
Josy scene at the dorm party is one of favorites even despite no sex scene there. EP 9 I think is going to be the best or it better least be top 3. But yeah he can't keep going like this. Right now he likely doesn't because he working (I hope) but after to comes out I think he going to have a "oh shit what have I done " moment
But, Yeah I do. It would be interesting to see, that even his most loyal fans are, would finally start to be impatient. Right now, it feels like he doesnt know when or how to stop, of finish the episode.
That is not a good sign, this him dragging out, and streching it beyond what its need.
and in the end it's still not gonna be perfect. like episode 8. I liked the Josy content, but the dorm party where she was all "glammed up" was a total let down , just a little talking and dance.
so even episode 9 has the possibility that despite all this content, it will have missed opportunity, and the waiting for it makes it even worse.
Yeah, I think I'm disappointed with this week status update,
also because if we went from 5 months to a year, and we continue like this, to see it completed will mean to be immortalNow I am even more certain we're all going to die before this game is ever completed.
Unless Arigon was right all along and episode 10 will be the last one. Peace.also because if we went from 5 months to a year, and we continue like this, to see it completed will mean to be immortal
5 month -> 1 year -> 1,5 years....
If the tenth chapter takes another year to come out it will be the last chapterUnless Arigon was right all along and episode 10 will be the last one. Peace.
Have patience, my friend. It's only been 18 years since we got Half-Life 2 and we are still waiting for Half-Life 3.If the tenth chapter takes another year to come out it will be the last chapter
for many players
Seems I called it last week too. It looks like December if we' re lucky now.Unfortunately it seems to me that even a November release is a very optimistic scenario. Development times are getting ridiculous at this point.
Here is the thing. if in Episode 9 it does not turn out that Josy is Dik affinity leaning. Having a solo Halloween lewd scene with her including Anal, then it's already did not worth the wait.Josy scene at the dorm party is one of favorites even despite no sex scene there.

the big waits like Cyberpunk, Duke Nukem 3d...Have patience, my friend. It's only been 18 years since we got Half-Life 2 and we are still waiting for Half-Life 3.
When AchedCroissant kept saying "That's Gabe" about DPC, I think DPC took being Gabe Newell way too seriously.
Half-Life 3, Duke Nukem 3D, Wolfenstein The New Order, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Cyberpunk 2077, Being a DIK......... Clearly there's a pattern here.the big waits like Cyberpunk, Duke Nukem 3d...
can't wait
Me still waiting for that VtMB 2 gonna come out eventually the only question is which year.the big waits like Cyberpunk, Duke Nukem 3d...
can't wait
I had heard good things about this oneHalf-Life 3, Duke Nukem 3D, Wolfenstein The New Order, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Cyberpunk 2077, Being a DIK......... Clearly there's a pattern here.
I think Dual Family is another of those "unfinished masterpieces".I had heard good things about this one
you forgot "star Citizen" which will go down in history as such a scam that we will be forced to apologize to Incstor
Mostly the standard stuff, but a few red flags that I think warrant some comment:You must be registered to see the links
This week I worked on and completed a big and tricky scene and some smaller scenes.
I have started working on the remaining lewd scenes of the episode now, posing both static renders and animations for them.
Art for 8 scenes remains, and three of those scenes need writing. I might need a couple more scenes after playtesting the episode if I feel something is missing.
I playtested Isabella's branch this week. It took me over 3 hours to complete it, without mini-games and without being able to test everything, as the final free roam event is still a bit of a mess regarding the code.
I felt that some parts of this branch needed a bit more content, while other parts of it were perfect and unique.
And this is an example of how I will work after finishing the art for the remaining scenes. I will playtest and then polish and add any additional content I feel is needed.
I have to do this for five branches and all possible combinations of choices and consequences therein. Each branch is of similar length, meaning a single playtest of all branches will require at least 15 hours of playtime. I always do this many times, over and over.
While there is plenty of joint content, there is also plenty of unique scenes for each branch; this makes quality control a big task.
But I'm very much looking forward to playing the episode. There are many scenes I haven't even seen in-game yet, even though the art has been finished for months - it's crazy, even more so than usual.
I'm up to 4524 renders, and now that I started animating again, I will know how many more animations I need within a few more weeks.
I don't have an accurate estimation of the release date; everything will depend on the remaining animation render times and how smooth the last stretch of development goes.
Have a nice weekend

rite where's a team of japanese anime artists when you need them lolare you kidding me
turns out the halloween party is gonna be released in time for the carnival season
Well, if you are a Patreon supporter, let me ask what is the general mood on the comment section after this announcement?!. are they at least start to get impatient?.Seems I called it last week too. It looks like December if we' re lucky now.
I'm sorry but being a developer is not only about renders and writing, but project management in general. And our good doctor is terrible at that, as he seems unable to control himself. Artistic independance and freedom is all well and good, but since this is a commercial product, the supporters/customers have some expectations.
As a patreon for over a year, I'm very disappointed today and will not be renewing my subscription. I believe that developement over 6 months is unreasonable, although I'm sure the content will be massive. It's just that I think that being unable to manage your material in order to deliver your product in a somewhat predictable time frame, is not good practice and should be discouraged.
I still think DPC is one of the best artists, just a bad project manager.
I ... thought this was real for a second.I liked it when the game updates were at max 2 months apart.
"Hey guys, this week I reached a significant milestone - we have surpassed the 4500 render mark for episode 9. My computers have been working hard for the past week but I am still not happy with some scenes and thus will probably add another 500 renders. Also, I have added 10 more animations into the queue to support those renders. I am also working on a new minigame, because the one thing the patrons wanted were more minigames. I also have to playtest the game, because a lot of areas have missing code
Next week I will be able to give a clear estimate about the amount of work left for the update. Anyway, here are 3 random renders of girls staring into the camera. See you next week."
