whats the problem with the unskippable animations/cutscene? DPC doing this to give us time for grabing a glass of water... he care about our well-being, isnt he nice? :Kappa:
It's coffee time

That will be a nice memorial wall for her after the next episode :love:.
Knowing some of the user, you are courting death saying that

ah i see. well, i felt Maya is just the dominant between M+J lewd scenes.
now you say the poolpark scene really could count as public:unsure:
but for me the "public" is something when Sage wanna ride mc infront of everyone, but Jacob stops him.
when Quinn roof scene count as "public" for hellweek, i was so much suprised
Based in the scene with Mr Dildy, I'm pretty sure the dominant is Josy

I use that spare time to look for mods for BaD... :KEK:
DPC right now:

For me public is any place that another person can easily acess or see from a distance easily.

So all of Maya scenes count being that they take place in a park, a pool and in the party.

Quinn roof scene was efinitely public, I guess your definition is different than mine.



Jill really looks and "feels" different on that preview, she is either teasing the MC on her path or provoking him on Bella's.

Even her swimwear appears to be more daring than the ones we seen so far. What is she planning...

Combine that with the Bella/Bianca preview and we can expect a lot of Jill next update.

Also, the risky sex doesn't necessarily need to be outdoor, just imagine a scene at the winter retreat sauna or poll with a nearby Bella/Bianca. That would be quite something for Jill.

About the threesome, I honestly doubt it will happen, but let's wait (a lot of years) and see.



Don't let Spock hear you say that lol


Nothing official, but 0% chance its coming out this year, the usual trends point to a late february/early march release, considering hpw much work is left.


That's true, but I still believe Maya will act a bit Dominant on that scene.


Any examples on Josy being dominant over Maya? I really can't think of one.


Unfortunate that mods take a while to update when a new episode is out lol


Any despiction of any of the game girls with a Non-MC male is against the rules of the subreddit.

It's completely retarded.
Give me some light, brother. The DPC hinted that there will be how many threesomes in episode 11? I vaguely remember a conversation about this a while ago

I haven't been following this game as much lately. What's the info about release? Coming up on a year now since episode 10.

I appreciate the scope of the game, like we get a multitude of lewd scenes and stuff. Lots of content each update. That being said, for me personally There is way too much extra shit, mini games, Free roam events, I'm not as much a fan of how the size of how that content grew. Last time There were so many Mini games, new mini games. and I remember there being a whole update halloween free roam event basically.

How much is too much? considering how long we have to wait now. Thoughts anyone?

I remember that dev had "a patreon goal" (reached long time ago) after which he will quit his regular job and work full time on game to provide faster updates. But it seems updates are delivered slower than before. Even if we count content size, which seems to be slightly larger than in first updates.

Any file to modify so i can change back MMB to hide interface instead of showing phone like it was in the first episodes?

He spends most of his time on low quality animations. His animations are really very primitive and unnatural, and they take 80% of his development and rendering time.

A short but good update for today.

The animation queue is down to 6 animations. After they're completed, I need to post-process them and test the lewd scenes to ensure that they work. After that, beta testing can start, and it will start sometime next week.

The final preview for episode 10 drops on Wednesday, and next Friday will be the final status update before the release date announcement.

This development cycle is about to reach its end.

Have a nice weekend.

As usual DPC doesn't share this kind of information, nothing concrete at least.

However, I do have reason to believe it will be at least 2 and maybe 3.

The first one is the confirmed Josy/Maya one that will probably break me (in the good way)

Now, anything beyond this point is pure speculation, but I believe there might be two more.

In the reports from 12/01 and 19/01 DPC mentioned he was working on a very big and tricky lewd scene that would feature over 50 animations by itself. He also mentioned it tricky for some spoiler reason, so due to that I believe it's not the J/M threesome since he wouldn't want to reveal it.

DPC also mentioned more recently(not sure when or where unfortunally) that he was also working on a threesome with an unexpected combination of girls, now sure that could be the same scene as from my previous paragraph, but it could also be yet another one.

So yeah, we can't know for sure but at least 2 and maybe even 3.

Maybe of one those is even the game first foursome.
I have a suspicion that the threesome with Josy and Maya in latex might be a short scene. It does look atypical and, judging by the context, it takes place in the interval between the main acts of the episode.

I can imagine MC stopping by to visit them before the Christmas party, and that's the reason for the casual sex. I really don't remember DPC spoiling an important and big threesome scene like that back in the middle of development, whereas he could have made that preview final. I'm probably wrong, but I have a suspicion that this scene will be disappointingly short. I might suggest that Maya won't be involved at all and just hold Josy, lol.

Also, I have a strong feeling that DPC wants to rehabilitate for the last episode, which had little adult content. Basically there were only three good and great scenes in ep10, which were Bella, Nora, and Nicole. I bet that for example the scene with Sage or the scene with Quinn should have been bigger, but he probably counted the rendering time of the animations and decided to remove a few animations to save time. Or he dropped the full Lily scene and replaced it with a blowjob.

So I hope he do not pulls this stunt in the same episode trying to make a release this year. He could just freak out and remove 30% or 40% of the content of the scenes, he'll stack up and release these scenes. I'm willing to wait a few months but get exactly the big scenes like the scene with Bella from last episode.

Dude, you just told me you know very little about this game.

The upcoming EP will have nearly as much content as the first 4 episodes of this game combined.

Doubt me? Check this post from mpa71.

The upcoming update will probably have around 7K statics & over 370 animations.

So yes, it's taking forever, but the updates are colossal, specially compared tot he first episodes.

The episode may not feel as large, but that's due to the branching, but if you actually try to see all the scene it will take quite a while, even if you disable minigames and skip the canon scenes.
That post is not of use to fully compare if development is going slower or not, because we don't know exact numbers of hours spent on development during "dev had regular job" phase.
We can assume "working full time on game" phase as 8 hours per day, 5 days a week, we can deduct holidays and other non working days etc.
But let's count just days, for example
Episode 2, 3 & 4 had 6454 renders and 310 animations - done in 340 days at spare time speed.
Episode 11 - 7000 renders and 380 animations - 338 days and counting at full time speed.

He spends most of his time on low quality animations. His animations are really very primitive and unnatural, and they take 80% of his development and rendering time.
His animations are in fact totally average for VNs, he's at the same level of many other developers that use DAZ to animate. Some others VN developers are able to make better animations with DAZ, it's true, but it's not that DPC's are among the worst. He's average and that's not a problem for this VN.
His animations are mediocre and embarrassing only if you compare them with what skilled people do with Blender/Maya, but those are people focused mostly or only on animations. DPC has so many aspects to deal with, so he cannot excel in anything, he has to to mass-produce as he works alone. Also, I don't think animations take him 80% of the time. A lot of time, indeed, but not 80%. Regarding rendering time, that's true but he has many PCs so they don't block his work. They'll probably be the bottleneck again for the release, because he will have to pose others when he makes the last lewd scenes.

You have also to consider that many (probably most) of his patrons pretend animations, so he has to make them, even if they feel crap if you are used to look at good ones. Then he gradually started feeling too excited doing animations and exceeded, now making long cutscenes that 99% of the players will see once, then skip like a plague in the following replays. People cannot protest on Discord because they'll get banned, so he believes everyone thinks he's the new Kubrick/Sergio Leone/Scorsese.
But consider this: he still produces most content, per year, than the majority of the other developers (also because he has the income to afford it).

So, just deal with it, this is what's going to be and nothing is going to change it, he will never change his workflow. Let's be patient and play other VNs.
