I swear when I first looked at Macky's comment I thought the number was 11 and I thought it was respectable.. I didn't even know the page count could go above 100... The most I've ever had was 28 but after pruning it I got 12 now
B-but... One of the previews had Christmas party.... so that means it has to come out in December!
Is it at all possible to come out in December given that maybe developer exaggerates stats to give himself more time, gets a super productive creative process going and technology has no setbacks and everything runs smoothly as intended? Or am I just the most delusional man on the planet..

I got curious enough to try and find the gifs in old versions of the game, because I also want them. I didn't see them in 0.1, BUT I did find something. Something disturbing. Something I wish I never did, because they are possibly the worst fucking thing I've ever experienced.
I found Bella's voice acting files. And they. Are. SHIT.
There's obviously more, but I won't further subject you all to this abomination unto God.
I thought the ones for Jill were bad, but this is just... like I can't fathom how DPC ever thought this sounded good enough to include. I understand we all have an idea of how the characters sounds in our mind, and it won't be the same for everyone, but goddamn. That is not Bella, not even close. The smartest thing DPC ever did was throw the voice acting in the dumpster where it belongs.
But there is a silver lining. I did manage to find my original objective in 0.4! The report gifs
Medium answer: 14 months to delivery Episode 11 without voice acting... Do we really want 29 months for Episode 12 with voice acting?
(And maybe 34 month for Episode 13 with voice acting and 3D-glasses)
Once the game is finished, I guess no one will continue to support him on Patreon just for him to add VA (and reading his excuses for taking another 6 years: "I'm still casting to find a male VA to voice the chess guy, and I'm not satisfied with the sound FX for the fish in the tank" )
So if he can't get more money... why should he bother?
I think if he ever seriously reconsidered including VA in the game (which I severely doubt), at that point he would need to hire on more people. Not just the actors, but a director (because DPC's ear for this is dogshit), probably a writer or two to make sure the works happens concurrently instead of waiting on his slow ass, or on the flip side some artists to help with the renders so DPC can give the voice acting proper focus. A project manager would be good too, and any number of other things to make this run as smooth as possible without taking forever.
But DPC won't do any of that. Not only does it mean less money for him, but also less control. And as mentioned in the past and should be super obvious, it's way too late to add voice acting, because all the characters sound different in each player's mind. Whoever he picks won't match, and it'll take everyone out of the game. It's all pointless.

I use separate saves for each path. So depending on which path I'm playing, I switch out the saves folder for Lily path and put in the Sage folder (etc). - Deleting the renpy/appdata each time. And have between 12-15 pages of saves on each path.
Surely the update will drop before Valentines day. At least before Spring. No later than the start of Summer, perhaps? DPC needs to add that "MC's scratching his balls" animation after all.
Jokes aside, I hope it comes out before New Years.
Hey, don't attack a fellow Nicole fan. There are dozens of us, dozens (all desperately waiting for a single preview for Episode 11 and definitely not worrying she's not in it).
Also I want to celebrate a love interest's birthday. Maya's is Cinco de Mayo, too far away from November/December. But everyone else is up in the air right now.
I still want to celebrate an LI's birthday goddammit. Make a cute Cluck about it, take her out, maybe some birthday slaps on the butt, give her a meaningful present, end the night with some passionate lovemaking. You know, lovey dovey stuff

the voice acting never lives up to what you have in your head, there are only negatives to adding voice acting late in a vn, if it was professionally voice acted from the start that would be a different story. Like I have said here before I think Dereks voice should be Jason Mantsouka
. You making sure you don't miss anything.
