Kind of funny thought they rendering faster then he thought so will they render slower if he thinks they should be fastFor fuck's sake, another useless report with no hard data.
Nothing new besides, "hey, this animations will take even longer to render"
He's working on a new mini game where you start a bee hive. Save the environment and make extra money on the side from selling honey.He is working on a compulsory minigame to access the mobile phone to find the random tasks of the new huge freeroam
Well the only thing I expect from chapter 11 is a fight against caleb or vinny. It will probably happen or not a man can dream.You must be registered to see the links

All week was about posing animations and writing. I alternated between them to get some day-to-day variation.
The animations I'm posing right now are not only plenty but also tricky to pose for reasons I won't spoil. I expected these animations to render slower than the others in the render queue. Surprisingly, they render almost 50% faster - making it even harder for me to keep up manually- but I'm hanging in there.
Regarding writing, I went back to plan the episode more, focusing on a few branches. I'd say that two out of the five major branches have been planned in rough strokes. Another week of similar kind of work is ahead of me.

I feel the same. But it'll be Caleb, not Vinny. Dpc will stretch out the Rio, Vinny shit for 2 maybe 3 eps.Well the only thing I expect from chapter 11 is a fight against caleb or vinny. It will probably happen or not a man can dream.![]()
Right now there a good chance it ends this season or at least the loan part of it Patrick on the other hand will probably still around next season but of it DPC so who knowswell DPC is still stretching the maya problem and it will probably extend into season 4.

Without the loan, is Patrick even an issue anymore? Seems to be the only thing tying him to mayaRight now there a good chance it ends this season or at least the loan part of it Patrick on the other hand will probably still around next season but of it DPC so who knows
Yeah, they are fucking Vinnie as part of their deal to share profits.That's good news. I think to myself, for DPC to pose foursome sex. He once wrote that threesome sex is already hard to pose and foursome sex is even harder. We have a Cosmetic Poll from Camila. We also see Camila, Quinn and Riona having sex in the home screen behind Sage. So I think with that DPC created poses for a foursome sex scene.![]()
Patrick is a abusive and controlling person I highly doubt he would do nothing the rest of the game even with no more loan. He thinks he is doing this for his dying wife to make her dream come true: the kids getting married and having kids so he would likely be willing to do anything. When Helen die's Patrick will put the blame on Maya which who knows that could happen in game and Patrick will say it was Maya fault and there no telling what he would do. I might be wrong but I think this could happenWithout the loan, is Patrick even an issue anymore? Seems to be the only thing tying him to maya
I guess winter is already coming in the next episode.Dpc will stretch out the Rio, Vinny shit for 2 maybe 3 eps.
Hopefully, cause DPC needs more wriggle room for other plots. Some plots didnt get any progress since... forever. There is so much going on i cant really picture it in my head how DPC will solve everything in the next 6 episodes if some bigger plots dont end in the next 2 episodes. And the very last episode should focus on the conclusion of the relationships, not so much on the plots anyways... so in my head, DPC has only 5 episodes left to solve most of the ongoing plots... which arent much considered what is going on all over the place. And especially the Maya thing was kinda the "major" plot all the time and is already going on way too long drowning everything else.Right now there a good chance it ends this season or at least the loan part of it Patrick on the other hand will probably still around next season but of it DPC so who knows
Well... he still is Mayas father isnt he? And what about her mother? Its very likely that she will die before the game is over, so there is that too... Patrick will still have a role in this game, no matter what. But i think it will end in a peachy cloudly rainbow way with a little tear too. Like... Maya cut ties, Patrick has to swollow the pill for now, than Moms condition is getting worse, family unites to give her a good farewell, Mom wishes that everybody bury the hatchet for good aaaaand than she dies, all are crying their eyes out but in the end they make up. Something like that. But everything "after" the "pill swollow" for Patrick can be shown kinda in 2 scenes at the end of the game... the main part is, get Maya away from him for the time being. The final "happy end" can be shown in the very last episode which will be full to the brim with happy emotions i bet.Without the loan, is Patrick even an issue anymore? Seems to be the only thing tying him to maya
That's even better. Beat Quinn and Vinny at their own game.I thought the new mini-game would be to learn how to make methamphetamine in chemistry class and then sell it with derek's help.

the two problems can only be solved together.Without the loan, is Patrick even an issue anymore? Seems to be the only thing tying him to maya

I agree. Best we can hope for is less than a year update because of speed rendering. But knowing him he will use this for ...Thank you for posting!
So nothing new, but didnt expected something. I appreciate it a lot that DPC is posting weekly DEV reports, even if there is nothing to tell. Most DEVs doesnt do any reports, or maybe only two month with false information and ETAs they cant reach. And if there are important numbers to show, DPC does that. You have to give him credit for that cause it should be a given, but its not, DPC is more or less the only DEV doing that. Heck, he gives such precise numbers out so its even possible for some smart users to predict precisely when a release of an episode is to be expected before DPC can even think about it
But back to the report. So the render slaves are rendering about 50% faster as he expected now... that is... strange? How? Why?
Dont get me wrong, that is good news, i guess. But... they dont work faster just like that. Something has to be changed for that. Better hardware? Not that DPC has mentioned it after getting the RTX 4090s running... dont know anymore when that took place (september? august? something like that) Software upgrades? He didnt mentioned that either, what he usually does if its significant and even if he does not mention it... many users here would know something in that regard already.
So... the render queue is getting emtied much faster, without reason? Mysterious
And now he faces the problem i was afraid about.
As i mentioned two weeks ago, i think DPCs was building his work-shedule around the animation queue for episode 9 and 10. He was able to get 1 animation rendered per day by the PC slaves. This gives a very good frame to plan a work-shedule for. Posing one day animations to fill the queue so the slaves have a queue for about 2 weeks, use those 2 weeks for other things... fill up the queue again, and so on until the end. Like this he doesnt even need to work 8 hours a day to get eveything done, cause the animation sets the pace anyway.
But that has changed now somehow... we will see how this goes on... worst case, it could lead to stress. And that would lead to a way more delayed episode than waiting on an animation queue full of pointless animations, thats for sure. Stressed people dont work good, nobody does.
