Yeah, it's been a boring few weeks so far
DPC is probably building up the queue and working through his animations, which is the main thing he can do to minimize those bottlenecks at the end of the dev cycles
I think we might start getting some tangible data after the Q&A is done entirely, so next week or the one after that
At least we know he was working on three different girls
A promised preview this month would surely help with the drought of info
I have my weekly meeting with my boss in three minutes where I have to tell her, in detail, what I did all week. I wish that I could just say “I worked on things this week and will work on more things next week.” I love DPC, but why even bother weekly reports when they are like this.
I wrote dialogue until Wednesday, after which I started working on static renders to get a short break from writing. I've been working on Sage, Quinn, Jill and some other spoilery scenes. I have a good flow going on with the art and will continue working on it next week.
I am planning what I can show as the first preview. I'm sure there will be something to show this month.
The animation queue is still looking solid. PCs have a good render speed and plenty left to render.
Q&A
The second part of the Q&A will be released sometime next week.

It was actually expected given the ending of ep10. The ending hints at some drama on the Sage, Others and Maya/Josy branch, so it's no wonder there's no preview.
Some sort of plot crisis won't last long, the game's narrative is jumpy after all.
So I guess the first one will be Jill's preview, simply because she doesn't have any unexpected twists and turns and is generally quiet.

We still have 10 months of waiting boys and girls, there wont be much to discuss until we have couple of previews and a theme for the 3rd party.
However, its not that hard to predict what is going to happen. This is the first episode that starts road towards the end, so he is going to be extra vague from now on.
ReallyNotTina picked “Pinky” as her MC’s name… because she’s his brain. I told her Dr. PinkCake uses “Pink” as his MC’s name, and her response was
GF.VINDICATION! I… have… been… vindicated. Yes!
Me. Yeah, but he uses that because his name is Pink. It’d be like naming your guy ReallyNotTina.
GF. That’d be weird.
Me. Which is why I don’t name him ReallyNotTimmy.
GF. No; it’s weird because giving him a girl’s name is weird. I don’t have a problem with ReallyNotTimmy.
Me. Of course you don’t; it’s my name.
GF. But I don’t mind switching him to Trey once we’re able to. Then he’ll match all your other saves, and you’ll stop telling me, “Now put your Pinky inside her.”
Me. You know it’s a solid joke.
GF. Solid dad joke.
Me. Oh fuck you; you say “dad joke” every time it’s wordplay you don’t like. How come your puns aren’t “mom jokes”?
GF. I’m a girl; I get to have double standards.
Me. Very Republican of you.
GF. Oh fuuuuuuck you.
But enough of our sexy banter. Time to take our Sage run to Episode 7! We did it a day earlier than usual, so you get it a day earlier than usual.

Found some good post on reddit recently, regarding previews and how it should go in the future episodes as well:
u/Obi-Wan_Gregobi said:
I feel like, as we get into these later episodes of the story, more and more of the content will become too spoilery to show because the serious dramas are beginning and DPC doesn't want to give away any potential surprises or even lead people to rightly speculating on something they don't want people to know until they play the episode.
It will also be greatest when we get to the end of the game with the final episode and the epilogue because pretty much all of those renders may be too much of a spoiler to show before release and we may end up not seeing anything of those episodes before they're released.
Can't agree more with this. Preview numbers in EP11-12 and Season 4 especially probably won't grow and will be less than it was before. 30 previews for the EP10 could probably become a record and the last time DPC got this much to us.

It turns out that from the DIK options you have:
- Smoking weed with Quinn, Ep.4
-Punch Tybalt, Ep.5
- Fight with Tommy, Ep.6
- Take fake ID, Ep.6
- - Kick the alphas out of the party, Ep.7.
More DIK choices next will result in
permanent neutral affinity.
