The truth is sad, but it's true nonetheless:

Creating all these new features, which will now be re-used with ease, was part of what made episode 10's development take extra time.

yeah sure doc...

This week, I tested unlocking all collectibles and found areas to fix. It was mostly bugs related to unlocking 2D art and some gallery issues that I worked on.

After that, I extended some of the content in Jill's and Sage's branches to give them extra love and attention. Next week, I will continue doing that with Bella's and Josy & Maya's branches. The Others branch will receive similar treatment the week after that.

They are few and far between, but I still find bugs when I play. Some bugs have a big effect on gameplay - like skipping through an entire free-roam event without doing it properly, showing an empty map screen with no places to teleport during free-roams, or messing up the save/load screen after playing a mini-game.

I'm also finding repeated sentences and phrases in the dialogue - these can be hard to spot as I've written almost 30,000 lines of code/dialogue for this episode, counting only the main dialogue files. But the bugs have been easy to fix. At this point, the hard part is finding them, as I have to play differently than I'm used to and try to break the game. I'm sure beta testers will find even more of these issues.

I plan to add bios to the episode soon. I've reached a point where I feel confident there will be no major changes to the episode. I've been testing the new Stats app changes this week and am very happy with how they work. I use this app more than I thought, and the Party Planner tab, particularly, is very useful.

The updated ETA for the animation queue after this week is ~18-19 days. There haven't been any speedbumps in rendering this week. Mid-November is still a promising target for beta testing and proofreading.

The remaining weekly status updates for episode 10 won't be big, but I still want to touch base with you weekly until beta testing starts. There's no shortage of work on my end, and when I feel like I need a break from testing, I will start planning the development of episode 11.

I have already started by adding content to existing mini-games for episode 11. The mini-game work for episode 11 will be much easier and faster compared to episode 10, as the shells to new mini-games were completed during episode 10 development, and all I have to do now is add more content.

Creating all these new features, which will now be re-used with ease, was part of what made episode 10's development take extra time. In less than two days ' work, I've already knocked out six mini-game updates for episode 11. That's six mini-games that are good to go for v0.11.0 right now. That tells me it was worth the time and energy I spent coding the backbone for everything this year. Streamlining the mini-games for the rest of Season 3, with some use in Season 4, has done much for the game's future development.

Have a nice weekend.

Yes Josy and Maya should get lots of love and attention

Meh. Maya's fine tho.

 

[Takkatakka]

​

So ETA is basically December now...

 

[Darkwen]

Jill is meh Josy is great

 

[Pax Draconis]

Well, DPC truly knows his priorities. Giving extra love and attention for two of the best girls in the game.

Giving extra love and attention for two one of the best girls in the game and one of the best raccoons.

There. Fixed your comment.

I still hold the November 24. date

Interesting. 30,000 lines of dialog/code is a huge number. I don't remember how many there were in the last episode, but still at first glance it looks like the characters will be talking and talking a lot. Long dialog is one working way to stretch gameplay.

From 24-28 to 18-19 left in a week, thats promissing.

But I'm totally skeptical about his comments about his work on ep10 will help ep11. I mean, it will probably help but the update wont come out faster since he will probably increase the number of 60fps animations.

Or make an even bigger update in the best case scenario.

Lets hope Ep11 comes out in 2024.

Well if o has already started working on ep 11, I'd say the likelihood of ep 11 coming out in 2024 is high.

 

[D-ricky]

Development time to be a year plus from now on. This news lets me think back on the year of updates and posts that we've had in that time. To give an example, let's not forget about the CLONE SERIES that probably took some time away from development time

 

[ImSenjou]

I'm not even mad, I play with mods, I was already expecting to play only in 2024, January or February, it's the same for me...

Interesting that Lily and Riona have made such an impact with so little screen time. Also interesting that Josy is the supposed chatterbox but is being outdone by Maya.

There are so many languages in this world but you chose to speak facts.

 

[Ottoeight]

Pretty much, the animations should finish rendering at 14-15/11, after the 2 weeks of Beta thats puts us at a 01/12 release.

I'd still say there is a small possibility for a release on 24/11, DPC has been testing the episode for quite some time after all, also the last beta didnt take 2 whole weeks.

We knew that it was going to be a december release since september when he told how many animations he still had to make. I have no idea why you are imagining a november release.
