Is MC ever going to fuck Ashley? I haven't played the last few episodes and It seems like MC still hasn't fucked Ashley and Heather.

Heather is in an open relationship so I don't know what's stopping Heather from fucking MC. She should be the easiest option for MC to fuck.

MC licked Ashley's pussy a long time ago and there was no follow up after that. Instead DPC got her with duckface Derek.

Development Timeline.
Hell, 12 months of waiting is agony.
But we have to remember that the game was actually in development until October, and then we just waited 2 months for the release date.
In this episode he probably won't have to spend any more time coding complex minigames and will save time for something else, but animations will remain our problem.
I don't know if we'll get the 12 month wait again. But I'd like to cautiously assume he can cut development time by a couple weeks or a month.
lets face it, DPC pretty much was a sitting duck since late september just waiting for more than 100 animations to be done and just "played around" with some things for the episode during that time, which would have been done otherwise in a heartbeat if he could have released the episode. Iam not accusing him of "milking" he is clearly not a milker... if he would be, he wouldnt deliver such huge episodes, way bigger than any other DEV or even DEV Team delivers during a year. But its just soooo frustratiing and annoying to know that he will again do so many unnecessary animations which will just drag out the whole process. Without the inceasing FPS from 30 to 60, the animations would have been done in october. Cut about 1/3 of the animations on top of that, and he could have been done in early september, and still would deliver the same content, with just a little less animations which nobody would notice anyway.

And the only reason he is doing this is... he enjoys to create those animations, which i just dont get ^^ Of course its nice to see loved models "move" but... why the fuck is it necessary trhat zombies in a arcade game which you will see ONE TIME move around? OR why in the brawler game and so on... its just... argh.

To do those animations is hard work, and needs a ton of render-power... so no... of course he is no milker, but i will never understand his obsession with those animations. And they are the sole reason why its 12 months instead of 9, cause all the other things were already done or just paused cause it didnt matter... since he had to wait on the increasing animation queue anyways.

Does Sage look extremely like a certain Country-turned-Pop Singer in the movie date? I can't be the only one thinking that right.

As usual, I like the story and the visuals. But. BUTT. What a shame this game's sandbox is so clunky and counterintuitive. You get like 4 to 5 tasks at times and have to keep using your phone to read them after I don't know how many wrong clicks.

The game joins the rest of games that claim to give the player freedom of choice but there's no such thing, in actuality.

And the minigames, don't get me started on those. Who's got time for them? I'm guessing not that many people who actually have an adult life.

And by the love of all that is holy, why did you join the derp army of "click the sexual position you wanna see next"? And to add salt to the wound, the dialogue during sex scenes is so sterile. Pun intended.

I like Jacob and would be happy for him to get a girl my mc isn't chasing. Zoey was a great candidate as they had mutual interests, as i've literally no interest in her and there seemed like it was a nice signposted flag(for zoey pursuers to pick to avoid it). Curious why she's going to be carrying on hanging round in non romance path too.
As someone who is in the others branch, since she appeared, she became one of my main targets alongside Quinn. DPC made an entire interlude to include her and build a connection between the character and the player, letting us build her personality, it wasn't for nothing. She only had mc as far as we know, even being in san diego, she didn't hook up with anyone. She is his first love and he is probably her first love as well. I don't see any red flag or reason to avoid her.

She didn't even blink in rejecting jacob, either if MC gave his blessing or told him not to do anything. And since MC and I are the same, and I like myself more than I like jacob, I'd be happier if she end up with MC instead of him lol. Also Jacob on this episode acted really sus. Lets see what the future holds and who is the dik's traitor.

I do hate "click the sexual position you wanna see next" too. The best sex scenes are long-scripted ones like Eternum, Power Vacuum, Pale carnations, Stray Incubus, Game of Hearts, and Our Red String to give an example.

After my first playthrough (DIK affinity, Others' branch, focused on Quinn), these are my initial thoughts on the episode. Avoid the parts in spoiler if you haven't played at least one complete playthrough of this episode 10.


For starters, I've really liked the introductory backstory for the episode, regarding the personal drama around the Baileys. It's been very interesting to see that actually it was Helen the original religious half of the couple and that as time passed and her condition worsened, it was despair that made her lose faith and then it was her husband that started to look for replies where reason can't reach. I'm pleased to see that the doc still knows how to deliver when it comes to touching, but not so evident stuff.


After that lovely introduction, it soon starts appearing not so good elements, IMHO. Non lewd animations are mostly not good, like that of Zoey at the start or Quinn sarcastically clapping hands at the diner. They are unnecessary and neither do they look good enough.


The overall tone of the episode has felt quite gloomy to me in my first playthrough, quite in consonance with the part of the year the events in the episode happen.


As for the specifics of this first playthrough of mine, well, it's been bittersweet. Spoilers ahead, do not read if you haven't completed your first Quinn run yet.

Overall, I've liked it. But as I said, it feels gloomy. Anyway, it's time for me to keep playing other branches. Happy gaming.
