So i've now done all my main paths (in this order Sage - Maya x Josy - Quinn - Bella - Jill) I haven't done Lily or Nicole yet, and probably won't until I fancy another run through. I'll try to keep this spoiler light, anything hidden will have spoilers.

In general I thought the episode was okay to good. I don't think it has the replayability of the last episode, in part because of the reset to Brawler and the English and Maths class. (I like mini games but it would be nice in the persistent file to mean if you 100% it once you don't have to do it again). I think the Brawler update is pretty great, and I wish it had this context from season one. Would have been really cool to feel like MCs skills have been growing on this front.

I thought in general the sex scenes were disapointing with a couple of exceptions. The Bella one is excellent and the cock slap at the ending made me laugh more than it should. I was disapointed with Sage's scenes, the cinema one is fun but to short to JO to and the other one felt a bit forgettable. Madame can go fuck right off, wasted dev time IMO. Quinn didn't do it for me but wasn't bad. Maya's solo was a bit disapointing Josy's was good and the sort of threesome was great. Nora was okay, has a couple of hot moments but i'm not a huge fan of the character. Cathy was pretty good even if she has a weird face. Rio was good but not great, and as I said I haven't unlocked the other two yet.

Compared to the last episode which had 12 great scenes (1 x Jade scene, 2 x Jill, 1 x Lily, 1 x Maya, 1 x Maya and Josy, 1 x Heather, 1 x Bella, 1 x Sage, 1 x Lily and Nicole, 1 x Quinn and 1 x Sarah and Mel) that were all high end scenes worth repeat watches, I found 10 disapointing on this front.

Now for the Story, it was nice to feel some progress even if in places it felt a bit silly. *cough* kidnapping Rio *cough*. It felt to me in like DPC was answering some of the long standing questions, while also making changes to subvert expectations. (These are in no particular order, just as they come to mind as I write).

Overall I think this episode will feel better once it finds it's place in the wider context of the story.

My prediction for episode 11? The optomistic guess range would have to put it somewhere between week 42 and 51 which would be in line with episodes 9 and 10. That would be a release between 27th September and 29th November.

In episode 10 we had 335 animation, in episode 9 303. His average per week was 6.5 10 and had been 7.2 for 9 including the beta testing time. Hopefully he had animations queued for episode 11 through beta test as he did with 10. Towards the end of episode 10 with 3 systems using 4090's he was managing 8.1 renders a week. But bare in mind one of the systems will spend a decent amount of update time doing still renders.

So unless he adds a lot fewer animations or make a generally smaller episode I think we are unlikly to see it before next Autumn.

If he does 6.5 animations a week he will have 331 by week 51.

I've feel like for a long time the only thing keeping Josy and Maya together is MC and that they prefer MC over the other girl. Maya by saying she more comfortable with MC then Josy is pretty much admitting that to be true even if she don't fully understand it yet
I think the only thing that is holding them together might actually be Maya's "problem"...which is ironic, because that only exist because they are together. But often troubled couples like that who are going through some adversity together can fall apart when the outside force, that was pushing them together gets resolved and disappears.

And yes...both seem to prefer the MC over each other at this point, so...I don't know...I think they're approaching a point (at least on the J/M path) at which Josy isn't ready to share the MC any longer.

It's definitely playing into soap opera stuff of "maybe on the quits" but I don't think it's because "prefer MC". Maya just seems to be dealing with a lot of internalised homophobia and normalisation of abuse from her dad while Josy seems to have never properly dealt with the fact she basically thought her relationship with Maya was over (see previous about Maya's IH) and was maybe starting a new one with MC and is now stuck in the middle thinking she has to choose one of them.

I need original script.rpa file. I overwrite it with mod and now the game is crashed.
If you paid Steam for BAD, you can have them check the integrity of your game files. Otherwise, you surely have or can download again the zip that you got the game from and can restore the original of that file.

guys, I need some help. I just extracted the Interlude+Ep10 files and try to load a saved game. The game runs the recap until Helen at the doctors and then crashes. I have no idea why? I checked the log and it has the last entry
"Could not open 'cache/shaders.txt':
Maximum texture size: 4096x4096"

Any ideas?

would be funny if DPC handels the trouple like this:
dik affinity = josy stays with MC and maya drops out
neutral affinity = they stay all together
chick affinity = maya stays with MC and josy drops out

:unsure: somehow the points and who got more fucked (if not even) should be have an impact too.

It is unfortunate that our MC is used as fuckboy by all those girls. Lily uses him to gain in popularity. Sage and Heather to get back at their cheating boyfriends. Jade for the thrill of being with a student.

Elena will most likely use him to satisfy her cuck. MC being the innocent and emotional guy just cannot say no to them. What a poor soul, he's looking for love in the wrong places. Such is the tragedy and fate of all the MCs in AVNs.
Actually not, since we know that there are no such sexual environments irl. It is all fantasy, the tragedy becomes possible if a player does not know that.

As I wrote above, a breakup will come from Maya and/or the MC, but not from Josy, because Josy wants both of them.

Especially when the MC goes to Josy, things look completely different. Both also talk about Maya. Josy even shows the MC pictures. Remember EP6 when Josy and Maya had sex. The piercing was mentioned. Josy said to Maya so that she could play around a bit to help Maya. Maya thought that was too wild, but asked if the MC would agree and they wanted to ask him about it.

In EP7 we have the choice between Josy, Quinn and Maya. Personally, I always use Maya in EP7 and Josy in EP10 and there is a reason for that. I want a three-way relationship that works.

This threesome relationship is going to be extremely hot. Why? Foursome sex. The fourth girl will always be someone else. Why? The MC becomes the most popular guy on campus and all the girls want him. Even Elena sends the MC a heart in the chat. Josy and Maya will invite girls to have foursome sex with the MC. The only way to get to the MC is through Josy and Maya. There are many girls, including rich girls, who want to ride the MC's cock. What does Elena call the MC again? Stud. There is a samurai with a stud on his shirt. Josy and Maya will market the MC and earn money.
I believe Josy wants Mc more than she wants Maya. Josy has no problem having sex without Maya yet Maya said its weird without Josy. Off path Josy even says "you better fucking believe I wanted you". Josy says she wants both early on in the game because she scared of not having one of them she more scared of not having mc. The fact Maya said she more comfortable with Mc than Josy who she has way more history with also Josy told us she wants a family and kids something Maya cannot give her unless they adopt of course.

Many of us had this issue at start, there's a fix file that's been posted in this thread.

I would do it based on your actions. To keep the relationship alive, you would have to spend about equal amount of time with each of the girls. And if you fuck someone else then they would both leave.

Is 44Khz sample rate for music a good thing? I extracted the music from EP10, but all have 44 or 48 Khz.

Or is there any way we can get the music of EP10 in a good quality, like 320kbps?
(Idk.. i dont understand these technical terms)
Someone please help

44hkZ is the sample rate for music on CDs. If you think that's good enough then it probably is.

I kinda got the same impression from her behavior from the very beginning of the game, and it’s not like she was hiding it very much. On the contrary, even during their first date with the MC, when he came to see her for the weekend, she told him in straightforward that their relationship with Maya were burden for her lately and she wanted to run away wherever just to leave this behind. Most likely, at first she had a crush, novelty of sensations, unusualness. And then came the daily routine, amplified by the difficulty of maintaining a lesbian relationship, since she and Maya were hiding it not only because of Patrick, but they were afraid of people's judgement.
Just imagine her confessing to Tommy about this. But later Patrick made their difficult relationship almost impossible. And it's unclear if Josy had a boyfriend before, so she probably didn't have much experience with guys to better understand what she wanted since they were too young when they started dating with Maya. And falling in love with MC hammered the final nail into the coffin of their exclusive relationship with Maya. But Josy can't leave Maya during the darkest period of Maya's life without feeling like crap in her own eyes. In addition, she wants to explore the relationship with the MC. A throuple seems like the perfect solution. But unfortunately it seems only a temporary matter.
