I want to make love to her eyebrows!

Agreed.

Without the chest ink, Zoe would be a lovely girl.

Look that blue hair

And she’s a natural blue…

[Cabin Fever]

People like to joke that Jill is MC Aunt but watch they can become family by marriage in a odd way. The key is Josy mother not much is known about her other Josy doesn't like her. Josy Mother is a Royce. So when MC gets married to Josy, Jill becomes your cousin. Also it will turn out that MC is a Burgmeister by his mother

Dalli, is that you?

 

[ffive]

It's 2022, it's a world that doesn't need labels anymore, or boundaries (except don't fuck kids, obviously). You owe it to yourself to pursue any and all things that make you happy. Not get hung up on ideas like, am I straight? Am I gay? Why do you need an answer to that question anyway?

Technically it'd be a step forward if people remembered that aside from "straight" and "gay" there's also such things as "bisexual". It'd evidently save them some grief, if nothing else.

 

[Darkwen]

Dalli, is that you?

I have never been more insulted but I have written a theory that makes this possible

 

[lipe2410]

Wow. I just realized if you had no idea what’s going on in this scene, and all you saw was this screenshot of an apparently topless girl and some guy was dropping this line, then you get a VERY different interpretation than what’s actually happening:

Gawd, she is so beautiful in this shot. Imagine be on top and look at this beautiful face smiling in bliss while we are fucking make love to her

 

[BorgiaBou]

I can wholeheartedly say: FUCK ME, this episode is good.

Yeah amm how 'bout you let us decide if is good or not, he's hyping this episode like a mofo, cannot wait to play all the joint content from this episode 7 times for each girl...

I'm baffled by how big the game has become while knowing how much more of the story is left to tell.

Hope dpc and you guys are relatively young if you wanna see this game finished...

Hmmmm

You did that didn't you ?
Sharing experience

 

[Ilhares]

I took the liberty to correct your typo

It's hard to believe the followup to THAT character's game is in worse shape than VNs across the board, but she was just so damned memorable (and loveable).

 

[allanl9020142]

Why does it seem like the off-topic thread talks more about the game than the actual thread for the game? Shit got weird after month 7. At least the wait is almost over.

 

[Ilhares]

Why does it seem like the off-topic thread talks more about the game than the actual thread for the game? Shit got weird after month 7. At least the wait is almost over.

In part, I think, because the OT thread has a lot of cross-game comparisons and general fun, but also because so many members of the main thread have been banned (some for seriously stupid-ass reasons - though my ban was fairly earned, I was a dick) so they can only participate in the OT thread. It's a more relaxed environment.

On the positive side, when the update does finally come out, it isn't going to be the OT thread spammed by 600 morons asking why their game is crashing (because they used mods) or where to download the latest version (which is always in the goddamn first post), so it may prove to be quite relaxing as this place goes from 10 or so posts a day to several thousand (like it did with episode 8).

Don't forget the ones asking for saves.

 

[Redd23]

Yup when half a year passes (give or take) ppl start to lose their minds and post some crazy theories (we all know who's carrying the torch here), wars break out (Maya and recently Zoey are in the spot), goblin queen is mentioned daily, some old topics get reanimated even though nothing new can be said there (Bella's mental state, MC's heritage, who posted Cathy's photo etc.).
So the sooner the update comes the better for our mental health

I've been posing animations, some static renders, and playtesting a lot this week.
I have 44 animations in the render queue and 252 completed ones.
I'm finishing up the lewd scene I've been working on this week. After that, I have a partial lewd scene left to pose a few animations for. Then I'm done with the planned art. I estimate that I have ~20 animations left to pose.
It will be a push, but I aim to complete what's left of the art in the upcoming week, and after that, I will test and polish like crazy while completing the remaining tasks and waiting for the PCs to render the animations in the queue.
Some of the remaining activities include:

• Writing Bios for the episode
• Fixing ending screens
• Recapping the story in the intro section
• Adding patrons to the credits section

Those tasks I mentioned shouldn't take more than a couple of days to add.
Before beta testing and proofreading can start, my personal playtests and the render time are the big things left.
Speaking of the credits section, I will lock the entries for v0.9.0 before next Friday. If you put your name as a comment

before that, you will appear in the credits for Episode 9. If you already appeared in the Interlude or have commented on that post since you don't have to put your name on there again.
This week I played my game from start to finish for the first time since March. It's a helpful way for me to polish a new episode, and it's easier to feel how the new episode flows together with seasons 1 and 2.
It's always inspiring for me to do this, and each time I do it, I'm baffled by how big the game has become while knowing how much more of the story is left to tell.
Even though Season 3 is just starting, it feels complete in my head and notes. Ideas and scenes written four years ago will finally be a part of the playable game - to me, that's crazy.

I'm usually my biggest critic regarding the content I put out, but with episode 9, I can wholeheartedly say: FUCK ME, this episode is good.

Have a nice weekend

No numbers for statics this week; I suppose the full numerical monty was too good to last. But we did get animation numbers and those are by far the more important. So I'm not going to complain.

DPC completed 12 animations this week, bringing his overall average up to roughly 7.6 animations per week since the Interlude launched. He also posed 16 animations and adjusted the estimated target up slightly to 316. If you prefer the visual format, here are the charts:

As you can see, the render rate did increase, but the target number increased slightly as well. We're now looking at completing the final animations in the second half of November, just about where we were last week. I'd say that makes a December release extremely likely. There's always the possibility of it being a little early (or a little late), but I think things are starting to stabilize.. If we're lucky DPC will keep up the numbers so we'll know which way things are going down the home stretch.

As for the update itself, I'm definitely glad DPC is enthusiastic, that's what we want to see in a game with so many chapters left to write. But as I recall DPC was quite excited about Episode 7 and Episode 8 as they were nearing completion. Episode 7 was fantastic and Episode 8 was a big letdown (IMHO, obviously), so I think I'm going to keep my expectations in check and see what we get, when we finally get it.

I'm very new here but even I am already tired of said posts I'm also gonna add the "Sancho/Scrappy update mod pls" literally 10 mins after update has dropped

It's probably even worse for BaDIK since this is the biggest game here.

 

[SomboSteel]

If DPC wants to avoid deaths in this one (he has said it's less dark than AL), then it's likely she'll be arrested for the drugs and prostitution because the cops get more evidence against her than Quinn. If there are deaths then it would be probably when Rio rolls over and incriminates Quinn for a deal with the cops (or is suspected of making a deal of she gets released) then the higher ups in the drugs trade may kill her, which may be the push for Quinn to turn against her family and move to the road of redemption.

people can definitely die in raunchy, college themed stories....

"you're my boy, Blue!"

Hmmm... on the bright side, it feels like I haven't seen my personal favorite regurgitated in quite some time: "Is James a vegetable being housed in Bella's locked room?" That being said, fingers crossed Episode 9 is released in a timely manner, otherwise I will undoubtedly see it again.
