Reading through the 8 pages of comments I missed since taking a nap and it occurred to me that this update is probably going to be fucking Maya-focused. Just. Fucking. Super. Bitch is dead fucking last in the popularity polls and is attached to Josy because..."reasons"...I guess because nobody would bother with her ass if Josy wasn't included.
I'm really, REALLY hoping for an option to hook her up with Zoey so they can ride off into the sunset (and off a fucking cliff) together.

It's reverse psychology, some patrons might have been pissed otherwise, but because DPC is hyping the episode so much and they take his word as gospel, instead they just get on the hype train and help him fight back against the people who criticize the long development period.

Right its a good way keep hype up when done right but this reverse psychology can have a reverse affect on people as can be seen here and even more so on reddit
or just ignore that bullshit like i have being trying to do since fuck ep4

No...
Ep8 trickled down here through the forum around 19/20 Nov 21. A few days before that is when I adjusted the saves for all of my paths through Ep7.
Also, feel free to look through the forum here around that time period.

The 4090 is having problems with DAZ, apparently. Not sure if DPC is still rendering in DAZ, I suspect he is using Blender or something similar at this point, so it may not be an issue, but none the less, DAZ doesn't play great with the 4090 yet.

All well and good. But there is a solution to longer and longer development time. HIRE A TEAM! Positive aspects of that decision far outweigh the negative ones. But he's anal retentive and a control freak, so... Little to no chance of it ever happening.

To defend, the real indicator about that is now the sA/D (secondsAnimations per Days) which I can only check when the game is released, which is the total animation time. For example:
- the Interlude as 36 animations for 4 min 36 secs
- when Episode 3 as 99 animations for 4 min 42 secs.
- If the actual 267 animations have that +40%, it would be 374 true number, and so an A/D ratio of 1.53, like EP7.
That's highly speculative since DPC don't communicate as AnimationsTime or TrueTotal but FullyCompleted; I might remove that A/D metric value as it's no longer the norm and might give indeed confusion or interpretation.

Just a little optimistic perspective to share regarding the duration of episode 9's development.
A lot of popular games here follow a tradition of a Halloween and/or a Christmas special. I find these tedious as they are typically a complete break from the game's canon. It's painful because it has nothing to do with the story other than using the same characters (even if some of them aren't even in character for the special), and obviously the main game development grinds to a halt during this process.
We've already had the deviation of the Interlude that many feel was highly unnecessary, so if DPC took another break from the game's core just to do a random Halloween special, that'd be another kick in the balls.
Instead, we have a fully integrated Halloween special embedded into the main story. An episode, and a special, all rolled into one. Where instead of a deviation from the main story, the Halloween component continues the story. I'd rather that, than a special, anytime.
So, at the end of the day, or year as the case may be... When episode 9 comes out, it'll be episode 9 plus a special. Perhaps justifying the excessive wait this episode has enforced on us. And perhaps future episodes won't be this long.
Like I said, an optimistic perspective, even if shrouded in delusion.

A very interesting topic, and as a person of technical culture, I easily understood you. But one inconsistency raises a question in this investigation. If there are really 424 animations, not 303, and if there are really more of them than in Ep.8 ... then why Ep.9 is less? Only 4.5GB of space for pure Ep.9 without Interlude, while Ep.8 is 5GB. Animations take up disk space, Ep.9 should have been larger and weighed around 6-7GB in that case, long animations should be heavier.To defend, the real indicator about that is now the sA/D (secondsAnimations per Days) which I can only check when the game is released, which is the total animation time. For example:
This is caused because DPC now assemble multiple animations in one and create longer, Interlude have truly 51 angle-animations after check. With that +40% in mind, and since he said he wants to do more of these cinematic style, EP9 could have 424 angle/animations and not 303.
- the Interlude as 36 animations for 4 min 36 secs
- when Episode 3 as 99 animations for 4 min 42 secs.
- If the actual 267 animations have that +40%, it would be 374 true number, and so an A/D ratio of 1.53, like EP7.
That's highly speculative since DPC don't communicate as AnimationsTime or TrueTotal but FullyCompleted; I might remove that A/D metric value as it's no longer the norm and might give indeed confusion or interpretation.
Or maybe I'm wrong about something, or their long and difficult rendering is the fault of the new visual effects, which require additional calculations.

I don't know. Imo, if you wanted to close ranks in the wake of incoming pushback against long development time, wouldn't you first tell me the bad news, then hype me up. Ideally do it at the same time. Don't hype me up 6+ weeks before release (2 weeks before telling me the bad news). I doubt it's possible to keep the hype train going for that long. At least it wouldn't work with me.
Instead of an attempt to hype up supporters, I rather think it truly was/is his opinion about the update and he couldn't hold back. He then got caught off guard by the amount of negative responses to the long development period.

Maybe a mistake? I can't see why anyone should do this.
How many times DPC should say he don't want hire a team and he gives a shit about the time and he will do this thing in his own way? It's absolutely pointless to debate this every two days.

And also dynamic shadows and reflections, lighting system, potential RTX ON ... Yes, I understand this all takes time to calculate. And what I saw on Bella's last preview, DPC is just a fucking maniac
4K will someday enter the daily life of gaming, but not now. It is too expensive and difficult, and the bygone era of mining has slowed down the transition. But Quad HD with 2560x1440 is already becoming a reality.

I'll never understand the people who get worked up over this. He won't hire a team because he doesn't want to. He doesn't need to. He will not be personally benefited in any way whatsoever if he does.
- DPC enjoys making the game - why would he hand it over to others to do things he likes?
- The time it takes to develop the game directly converts to money - why would DPC do something he doesn't want to do purely to speed the game up and result in less revenue over time?
- Hiring people costs money - why would DPC commit to an ongoing cost for something he doesn't want to do?
