I Went on Pinkcake's patreon today and i noticed something, He rougly takes 1 year to release 1 episode. Episode 9 was released around december 2022 and episode 10 around december 2023. If we follow that order it will be in December 2025 when season 3 is finished. Also he plans around 3-4 episodes for his last 4th season. That means for this game to be 100% completed it will take roughly till the end of 2028 or 2029 depending upon the episode count. Man crazy stuff probably the only game with the biggest development time i've came across till date.:unsure::eek:
One detail is missing from your observation. Each chapter had a longer development time than the previous one....
ohhh damn, that could mean it may also go past 2030 mark.
7 years is is the standard time it takes to make a game since the 2010 and dpc is solo so its not that long
differents is we play like a Pseudo Early Access
another thing is he make more Render or Animations with every new episode
Here a chart plotting development days against chapter:

As you can see, it isn't getting better...

I've taken the liberty to extrapolate the data and determine the curve through to episode 16:

The final episode will debut around 2039. :eek:

I believe that DPC will try to close the chapter within the year, but I have little faith in his self-control

That's not correct. The line "*Whispers* Isn't that the guy from that video?" only shows if MC helped Jill at the recital without failing it. See:

Source: ep9_freeroam_ph1_events.rpy

But you can try it with playing it if you don't want to look into the code.
Okay, no problem, I was just wrong. At least as far as EP9 is concerned.
Personally, I don't bother looking at the code. But it is clearly written here so that it is a condition for the scene in EP9. I won't deny that.

But who knows how DPC will continue to use "not ep8_recital_failed".:whistle:

Last episode, in many paths, she agrees that she likes hanging out with MC.

Remember the nurse in Acting Lessons?
Yeah, well, the inner dialogue of the MC in the library scene with Isabella in Season 1 where the MC says that if he'd have known why Isabella was crying and acting strangely in general at that time, he wouldn't have kissed her that night and instead would've called for help also suggests that she might be deranged. In addition to that, she has a big-ass axe in her garage and a couple of other clues in her house like the posters of which some could be hinting at what happened to her with James in the past.

I don't do that either, but I was sure that this was only about the video from the recital and showing it with the code was the easiest way, because how should I make a screenshot of a screen which doesn't appear? It just couldn't be, since I got this line even in playthroughs where my MC didn't banged Sarah in the closet or any other girl to begin with. One of my saves is a celebate SuperCHICK run where MC is the chickiest CHICK of all CHICK's. MC only did CHICK major choices, didn't pushed Tybalt, was nice to the Jocks, the Betas, and ignored every girl, but of course he was nice to all of them, so he helped Jill with the recital, but his dick was never seen with exception where he had to got the panties from the HOT's house. The recital video was the only option after all.
But who knows how DPC will continue to use "not ep8_recital_failed".
At least he couldn't use this variable with the camera in Derek's room, and I thought that was the conversation about you had with HiP1. Would be weird if Jill's failed recital could lead to some bullying or blackmailing or some other kind of shit against the DIK's or MC. It wasn't MC's fault that Jill couldn't handle her jitters. And also what changes the fact Jill failed the recital that the SuperCHICK MC didn't banged anyone except from Zoey and was nice to everyone?

Actually, the part that I was most disappointed in wasn't the Josy reveal but the library scene where Maya and Josy instantly forgive one another. It just wasn't believable, at all. I was also shocked that they hadn't talked it out in the time between the reveal and the library.
I think they had time to process their feelings a lot. they just lost a potential great love in MC. they are about to lose the remaining one. it's a desperate choice to cling to the current relationship, and honestly it's pretty common. they both blame Maya's father for their current predicament, so part of the betrayal's fault fall on him in their mind, and the rest is "you're just as bad as me". faced with lonely and despair, they will choose the one that still loves them and who they still love, sharing the blame.
and to me, that's the moment an MC that isn't interested in them should choose to walk away without saying anything at all.
and you're right, it's weird that they didn't come clean and admit to the cheating to each other before, but it might be become they were both afraid of losing everything, even though each knew that MC knows and that Derek might also know.

How can there be an official break-up if the other person no longer answers you?
several solution, the cleanest would be to take the train and go see them face to face. why she didn't even think of that when she sees MC do that exact thing ?
alternatively, you can just call and leave a voicemail saying it's over. or even write a text, but that's pretty shitty :D
at least, that way YOU make it official for yourself even if the other actively tries to avoid it.

I just hate that we're on a cliffhanger about Rio. In my wishful fantasies, my Quinn/Other Girls playthrough has Quinn calling me to come help...even though I realize Tommy is probably who she'd call first, if she called anyone. I could easily imagine her storming over to talk to Buddy and handle this herself. I'm sure it won't be that simple though.
Quinn does come to you to escort her in EP10 if you're on her path. so you might just be the new emergency call now. she doesn't even ask Tommy.

But who knows how DPC will continue to use "not ep8_recital_failed".:whistle:
everyone knows: he will use it in every scene that requires a reference to the successful recital and everything linked to it like the video. even indirect references like MC's guitar skills being publicly known, or MC and Jill publicly knows as friends.

if she'll come crawling back for some secretive fun-times again.
if she is divorced and it's public knowledge, she might not need to hide it that much now.

I can't wait to see what sort of drama this route will produce. Should be some interesting fireworks, or at least I'd hope so.
the first obvious one that you forgot : Sage finding out. and you're her boyfriend right now on that playthrough :D

She might because of what you said following this
the first obvious one that you forgot : Sage finding out. and you're her boyfriend right now on that playthrough :D
Yup, that was my intention for this playthrough. :sneaky:

Let's see if I can net me a threesome with both of them later on.
:cool:

One tattoo isn't going to kill her body her beautiful any besides it really depends what it is and the size. one of my better renders(which isn't saying much) I gave Josy a tattoo on the side it came out pretty good. So I think a small tattoo would look beautiful on her
Long time ago, when Josy didn't have so many red flags for me, I decided to add some tattoos for her. I didn’t stop at the small one and go full alt.
Tattooed Josy

This, as well as the camera angles, completely changed her and removed the image of 18-year-old petite girl as we know her, and as for me this version is better than the original.
