This week I started off making animations and renders for a lewd scene. After that, I felt like playtesting Sage's branch while polishing everything I found along the way.

I created Pack quest for the episode, added all lewd scenes to the gallery, tested special renders, and fixed some code for it. I fixed a big chunk of the final free-roam event code and wrote a bit more dialogue. I added some more choices and a couple of new scenes and polished what I could spot.

I enjoyed playing Sage's branch, and I'm sure you will too. What struck me the most were the differences between Isabella's and Sage's branches, playing them back-to-back. All hard work is feeling worthwhile, and this episode is starting to come together.

Here are some stats on the current progress and what I have left to do:

Episode 9 current total:
  • 4564 static renders (0 in the render queue)
  • 260 animations (231 animations produced, 29 in the render queue)
  • 25 new songs
  • 8 new sound effects
  • 18 2D-art pieces
  • 5 2D-art animations
Work that remains:
  • 2 scenes left to write
  • 6 scenes left to make art for
  • 3 lewd scenes to make animations for (50-80 animations)
  • Make some missing GUI for the new mini-game.
  • Add music (95% done)
  • Add SFX (95% done)
  • Special renders/2D art - Some testing remains
  • Scenes gallery - Testing and a couple of thumbnails for the missing lewd scenes remain
  • Playtest and polish (20%)
  • "Previously on Being a DIK" section
  • Ending screens for all branches
  • Verify bug fixes from the Interlude.
Phone content:

  • Rooster (90% done)
  • Phone chats (90% done)
  • Bios (0% done)
  • Stats (Testing remains)
  • Vault (Testing remains)
Overall completion:
Static renders: 95% (Based on a 4800 render target)

Animations: 76%-84% (Final animation count is still hard to estimate)

Writing/Coding: 95%

Further insight:
I am currently alternating between writing the final scenes, posing animations, and playtesting/polishing everything. As always, I aim to keep a 24/7 uptime on my render stations while multitasking the remaining areas.

Have a nice weekend

2weeks ago: My current estimation is that 70-100 animations remain to be posed.
50-80 now
I don't remember his computers rendering more than 12 per/w. Depends on the length of the animations of course.
Animations: 6-10w
Beta test: 2w

That's the best case scenario. No chance for november.

But Sally's supposedly a smart girl, too, and she appears to be drinking at the party, which wouldn't be a smart move (unless she's already planning to abort).
Yes, she is drinking, what about she doesn't know this time, she is pregnant? If the test isn't past, it will be in the story of Ep9, meaning that Sally will know it then (and, yes, as a smart girl, she would stop drinking alcohol). Magnar's behavior at the Dorm Room party could be the stress of the upcoming tests and some anger with Sally (she decided to go to the party and didn't learn with him).

It would be so great to have another thread only for oficial updates and news, and not to have to dive into a pile of stupidities and bad jokes in order of getting information about this game :cautious:
There is a place for that. It's called his Patreon page. Or, just maybe, ask the mods to start smiting anybody other than N7 for posting his updates, so you can at least do an easy search for them. People are so wound-up about being first with the info it really fucks up the situation for everybody.

It won't give you achievements while the console is enabled. Just remove the options.rpy/rpyc files from the game folder after you've used the console, restart the game, and it will work again.

'As intended' though, if you have several playthroughs to see all the content you can just unlock the 2d art at a little at a time and you won't ever run into money issues.
Yup I did this but some of the achievements aren't still working. But it's not a big deal though

Not really, it just used to be easier when only N7 was posting previews and statut updates

End Of November/December release date then
I've been thinking about the end of November for a month now, but given that PinkCake can increase the number of animations from ~300 to ~310 - 340, then in a pessimistic scenario it's December, but I can definitely sure that Ep9 will be released this year.
Damn Heycock with that fake status update :ROFLMAO:
