I don't think there's anyone right now who seriously thinks this episode will come out this year. November 15th the final preview came out, we're two months behind at best. DPС is probably hoping deep down that it will make it this year, but that's impossible.

Unless he's going to release the game without animations like Iсstor did back in the day.

He can say it will take 3 months to render animations and release a version without animations, then 3 months later a version with animations. He'll keep his fans loyal and probably be able to reduce the pressure. I'm willing to bet he's seriously considering it. Either he'll do a poll and the majority will vote that they're willing to wait.

In fact, right now the main hope of many( including myself) is that it will be February. March is probably more realistic, but damn March looks too depressing. The worst part is that he seems to have lost control of the development. I'm willing to bet ep12 might not come out until late 2026. We'll be at a point where it will take almost two years to develop one ep.

Until 1 month ago, I was thinking that it would be released in December. Now I hope that maybe a miracle will happen and EP11 will be released in December as a New Year's gift.

its hard to belive that ep 11 will have a scene with Zoey, another secene with Jade.. some sex with Quinn.... Sally!
Madame Rose..finally some sex with Hether.. threesome with Maya and jose... More of Madame...

Threesome with Bella and Bianca.. (not likely) THREESOME WITH JILL AND BELLA (probably not).... a lewd scene with Karen... THREESOME WITH SALLY AND KAREN (plz dr.PC) .. probley more Madame... NORA <3 (hopefully) and ofcurse the other hots like Sarah, Camilla etc... ep 11 will ether be legendary or OVERLY overhyped... etherway the wait would be worte it if we got a Sally scene.. but probably will get bamboozled with another Madame Rose scene...

While the static numbers do match up roughly the animations do not since their duration is quite different, the 3 early episodes you mentioned had a total time of around 16:30 minutes, meanwhile EP 9 and 10 had 25+ mins each as you can see in the post I linked.

So the amount of content is still quite bigger on the newer episodes.

And before you say that there that most of the animations are useless crap, they actually aren't.

EP 10 non lewd animations had a total duration of around 130s at most. And yes that includes the barbecue intro, the zoey run and the car animation.

So most of the animations are for lewd stuff.

Now sure, if he haven't started render the animations in 60fps the update would come out sooner, no discussion there it was a stupid decision then and it's even worse now that all animations are going to have an increased framerate and take even longer to render.

I don't know how many single renders each animation have, but even with that into consideration, numbers don't add up. We can add even coding, which is more complicated now with so many branches, and takes more time. We can even add episode 5 into first group, to cover for all that, it still will be short.
Especially considering that until March (which seems to be the most optimistic release date) number of days for episode 11 will count nearly 450. And might even go further. Add to that - number of hours per day have to be largely different, so it will make things even "worse".
I mean, at the end of the day it's not important, it will not deliver us game faster, just debating, it seems to me that he got lazy.

he'll either:

A- release it on December 31st just so his yes-men cand defend him and say "look, it still came in 2024" (extremely unlikely)


or what's actually gonna happen:

B- release it somewhere in early 2025, get a shit ton of backlash due to taking over a year, shrug it of cause it's his game to do what he feels like, maybe lose some patrons, same thing happens with ep 12 coming out in 2026, even more backlash, maybe only then he'll slightly humble himself and work out some kind of compromise.

 

[iggy.]

There is no way he can release this in 7 weeks or so. Too much work left. This episode will hit almost 7K renders and 400 60fps animations. Late January is possible, with super quick beta testing.

Still, not so bad. New chapters of Artemis, Eternum and Intertwined are coming out soon.

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.

you are right. i agree
i dont have definition. it is just a feeling. i could go in details, but dont want tiring you with it.

yeah sure ! I know, and I don't mind that there are folks who like his Neutral, or Chick personality traits, me personally can't stand it.

Yeah it's amazing when he is like "Pretty please Tommy tell me where are the beers". or even that He call for Dik secret code for Josy and Maya, what btw has been proven dont mean shit for the Diks, instead of kicking his ass what I already did previous so I dont even know who the fuck Tommy think himself to . Not to mention without me, they would have been disbanded.
Show some god damn fucking respect after MC did all for them
now some of them like jacob even dare to doubt about MC ,
" I help you get laid , during the Hots party because you were to pussy to even do anything by yoursel, you just sit in a corner with a beer, before I get rid off the alphas "

i agree with the Tommy part. but i disagree with mc did all for them and ask about the Jacob part

first Jacob
had Jacob any sex after we drop out the trash alfas? i dont remember.

second the respect
mc did nothing special. orginized the work on the mansion and worked on mansion as the others. the only extra work what he did is the organizing what is not a big deal.
(i worked in a house what have 6 bedroom, so when i saw the messed mansion, i thought, if you drop out the trash, it looks much better and here is many guy, more than 6 male. strong arms. it could be done.)

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.

yes, it would be good if it faster, but the updates are not so slightly bigger. they are much bigger updates.

Maybe no, but maybe this chair in MC's room there for a reason

Interesting theory, I thought the chair is only useful to get money

DPC:

I want to believe there will be backlash but the fan base from DPC's patreon is truly loyal (this forum is the only place DPC is openly criticized) so sadly it seems he won't lose enough patreons to speed up the future releases even if episode 11 is releases in summer 2025

Here's to hoping for a pegging scene to go down...

I still find it strange the fixation people have with this subject here.

 

[Ray_D]

Well, taking into account the amount of patreons DPC has and the prices we could say that it is enough for him to retire and pay for his children's private university.

 

[JillybeanEnjoyer]

No he dont stop the lie ok ? Im dont know why so many of u peeps hate dpc so much , he do everything to make dis masterpice and u just complain and trool him. Thats sad honest bro. Why would u lie abt that ? Make u feel better about urself ? Dpc make the money an not look back on h8rs like u

Lex was being sarcastic.

 

[ZenoMod]

dunno about the animations, but you are right on the cinematics. You need to watch them at least once. Not sure if there is a workaround, but I don't mind that, I'll watch them once.

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

Luckily enough, to bypass "forced first watch" there's no need to wait for a professional modder.

Up to current Episode 10 typing in the console persistent.seen_cutscene_ep9 = [True, True, True] should be enough.

If in next episodes he will use the same mechanism, AstroGrep will do the trick on the new scripts...

 

[MiltonPowers]

K ? Im tired of peeps dat do that , why u cant wtite JK on end ?? So peop know u kidding not srs. Any way im gona be honest u dont seem like u rly like dpc like all of u so im apprecite it if u can write some nice about him ? Not so much h8 all time. Its not some he deserve.

DPC has created some amazing and some not-so amazing characters.

I love DPC.

By the way, do you know when you'll be releasing Ep 11?

I told ya this was gonna happen, Bazsa4...

English clearly isn't your first language, so if you can't really understand that he was obviously joking, then you quite literally got lost in translation.
And you're right. Most of us don't like DPC. He can't take criticism and hates everyone that doesn't suck his cock. But saying we don't say anything nice about him outrageous. Maybe we don't say it directly that often, but whenever we talk about things we love about the game or whenever we preach how this is the greatest AVN of all time, all of that is praise towards DPC.

Ah, yes, nothing gay-ER(?) than a woman and a man having sex

[Ray_D]

If we are talking about normal sex then no, if we are talking about peggin then yes it is a bit gay.

 

[Bazsa4]

If we are talking about normal sex of course, if we are talking about pegging then that is another problem. Although to be fair to you there are men who like that.

Let me tell you once you have a prostate orgasm there's no going back...
And no it's not gay, despite what some people would have you believe.
In fact, I believe it to be one of the most romantic things you can let your gf do to your body.

 

[MiltonPowers]

STFU. Im not hire by him ok ? Get dat thru ur thick skull. An the update will finish when it finish. U do not control him and u cant bcuz hes above u in every thing ! So kid shove it up ur h8ful arse aight ?

Imnot dpc.

Im not dpc.
