Could someone answer one question for me? Two actually.

1. I don't remember and I wish someone would remind me... What is the correct sequence of events? Do you first choose Jill in episode 8 and then you save her from the third date or do you first save her from the third date and then you have the option to choose her in episode 8?

2. If the correct sequence of events is "choose Jill first then save her from the third date" which route does the MC fall into if he is dumped by Jill (along with Tybalt) in episode 8? Does he run out of routes? Or does it fit the “Others” route?
1: You choose Jill and then save her.
2: Others.

I have to say, the high graphical fidelity is awesome, he must have uppgraded his setup to 4090's (as he fucking should with his millions of fucking dollars), if he can keep this level of quality for all the renders I honestly don't care if it takes another 9 months for an update.

Sorry for simping :HideThePain:
also DPC doesn't care...

I didn't see much difference. DAZ in which he works is an old and limited program, the maximum that he can do is to increase the number of samples and thereby increase the clarity of the picture. How bad DAZ can be seen by the low-poly textures and how badly the program works with the simulation. On this render, for example, he made rain in Photoshop or maybe an After Effects, you had to ask him in the patreon page or discord. He will probably be able to raise the quality if he starts doing post-processing manually, rather than relying on his PS scripts, but this will probably greatly delay the development time.
Thanks for clarifying that for me, I don't know shit about 3d graphics in general, or DAZ, I'm just saying that I wished the whole game looked like that picture.

I will be in a minority for this once, and say I'm not sure how I feel about it. :unsure:
seeing different hairstyle is always a bonus, but I'm not sure this does good favour to Maya face. I feel like DPC get upset for the constant critism his getting for his fuckups with Jill.
But instead of try to Fix her, he decided, he start to make a slight Plastic surgery on the other girls, so Jill would not stand out as much as the worst:unsure:

Yeah, I feel something like what you say. IF you press "H", to hide the UI, the Rain will disappear, like during the rain kiss with Jill :LOL:.
or in in episode 9, the extra lighting effect, during the cum-petition, or during the Dance floors scenes

come on, I can't believe that rather than fixing one model, DPC thinks about polluting so many others.

hair always makes so much of a difference, although here for Maya I wouldn't talk about a change of hairstyle, it's a temporary thing related to the rain

Maybe it's not about Jill but the perpetual crying regarding Maya's skin quality.

(which was caused by the normal map having too exaggerated setting, so smoothing it out should be a matter of like, 3 clicks and maybe a minute of work, but, eh)

She has an umbrella, :LOL: and her hair is not Wet, only her jacket. So her hair look like this by default for this scene, and not a causation of the rain;)

The good news is that after that wave of criticism related to the third preview, he decided to release a fourth preview, which is more in line with the title.
the last one had been quita ridiculous, but absolutely no problem for me, he could even continue with the halloween pictures

if the patreons paying him were ready to accept even previews only on the settings, what can I say?

so much 60% of the previews are vanilla that say nothing, 30% are deliberately misleading.

we might as well wait directly for the new chapter

almost certainly you're right, to me it keeps looking like a "no hairdo" that's why I was relating it to the rain.

I think he's heard a lot about Maya's cancerous skin and he's trying to fix it by using some sort of anti-aliasing that makes the model look more plastic.
And one more shortcoming about which I spoke and I will speak: DPC overplays with reflections too much. Look at the reflection from the wet jacket, it's too much.

The preview can be when she and MC arrive in her home (or MC's home). The houses behind indicate they are not in B&R
Just this. Maya is probably facing the MC and Josy. Assuming so they would meet at Neil's. But it would be a positive surprise if they were at Pete and Monica's. After all the MC was invited by Pete and the MC said to Josy so they can't or shouldn't keep the family out.

PS.
I have to correct myself. Guns N' Horses got it right. The houses in the background are at the DIK Mansion and can also be seen behind Isabella in EP9.

New guess. Maya has just come from talking to the Royce lawyer or otherwise clarified her situation with the school money. Maybe Patrick also loosened up the money after the MC was with the Baileys?

In any case, Maya looks happy.

She is also seems happy and i doubt she would feel happy have to face that cunt of Patrick. I'm copium MC, Josy and Maya will spend thanksgiving together in MC's house because i will fucking riot if i have to choose between them AGAIN right after accomplish the "even" in last episode.
