I am a little concerned with the basic maths and observation skills of some of our community. :p

2 Interlude, and 18 episode 9. God I hope I didn't miscount and end up joining the queue.


Maybe this episode is a conditioning experiment. If he drags this episode out to 10 months, when a future episode comes in at 8 months we'll all be impressed. :unsure:
Even if it comes out in December and not January there will be celebrations. We will make do with little.

Seriously speaking: for me, the waiting time for the tenth will be crucial.

Considering all the previews released so far (https://f95zone.to/threads/being-a-dik-interlude-season-3-dr-pinkcake.25332/post-8269074) and the number of scenes in this update revealed by DPC in the status update, it appears we only saw 5 of the 18 upcoming scenes.

Those are:

Sage (Previews 1 and 12)

Lily (16)

Bella (19)

Jill? (5)

Sandy and Lily? (20)

I only counted those preview which were obvious a sex scene, but I could have missed something, so please correct me If you think I'm wrong.

Let's hope that the update is worth the wait and specially that none of the remaning scenes are Madame's lol.
My highly speculative guess for (20)+(9) would be Maya & Josy, with them dressing up for that same occasion in (6) and (13).

One thing I was wondering about in the past was whether galleries and whatever were gonna carry across the seasons, but I guess they aren't.

But looking at Season 3's reward gallery, it's interesting to see that it's already been set up for the main LIs (even if they weren't featured in the Interlude), plus only three Unknown.

So like in Seasons 1 & 2 there were 7 non-LI galleries (Cammy, Cathy, Nicole, Jade, Quinn, Riona & Sally). So I wonder who these 3 "Unknowns" will be.

I expect one will be Quinn, and if Zoey is gonna be a significant character and not just a cameo in episode 9, surely she will be one. Who would the third be?

If DPC is gonna be a stubborn motherfucker, it could be the Madame. :sick:

But what other character would deserve their own gallery if most of the girls will probably be relegated to the "Mixed" gallery (which already features Quinn and Riona)... :unsure:

There are 19 animations left in the queue. 5 of the remaining animations are more demanding than the rest.

The overall speed feels good. At this rate, beta testing can start in early December, usually lasting for a couple of weeks.

Mid to late December is looking good for a release, but nothing is set in stone until beta testing and proofreading start.

If you want to see a teaser from episode 9, you can download the attachment of this post.

It's nothing too spoilery, and I believe it should give you some excitement for what's to come.

Have a nice weekend

Not much beating around the bush; we're definitely getting close to the end. Assuming DPC isn't secretly adding animations late at night when no one is looking, he completed 9 animations this week. That edges his overall average up tp 7.7 animations per week since the Interlude launched. Here are the charts:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Just going by the raw numbers, we're about 2.11 weeks from clearing the animation queue. If we want to don our skeptic hats, we can note that DPC only completed 2 of the 7 animations that were known to be more complex. That suggests that of the ~5200 frames of animation to complete, we're down to ~3550 - a decrease of 1650 frames. At that rate, the remaining frames would take about... 2.15 weeks to complete. So DPC is likely correct about beginning beta testing in early December. But as always nothing is certain, especially as we get close to Christmas.

Let's hope for the best. Personally, I don't take much comfort in knowing there are going to be a lot of lewd scenes in Episode 9 because a) that tells me nothing about what those lewd scenes will be and therefore whether I should care about them b) there bloody well ought to be a boatload of lewd scenes after 9 months! It's this sort of focus on ticking check boxes rather than crafting a coherent experience that has me so nervous in the first place! :cautious:

:coffee: Updated BigTable™ with the recent informations.
LastChristmas!

  • Progress Report since last table, two weeks ago
    • 8.5 Animations per weeks average, for a total of +17 at 284.
    • Animations rendering should be over in 3.5 weeks.
    • Animations Progress: 88% > 94%
  • BigTable™ been updated with Ratio into weeks instead of days as it's more often used. I added Scenes too.
    • I removed the Animations/Weeks as it was used/read with criticism or confusion.
      DPC is now making longer animations since the Interlude with multiple animations together, that metric is no longer accurate.
  • Release Estimate: 42 weeks; Late December, Christmas.
