Everyone shut up it's coming out in December 2024 I don't wanna hear it lalalalalalalallala shut up shut up SHUT UP!!! o_O

Ok but seriously seems like progress is happening at a decent pace if everything mentioned is true, plus can't forget there might be some positive things left unmentioned for the pleasant surprise. You can call it cope if you will, but I refuse to not account for it still.

I thought the other day about this long developement and many things that are in current game might seem like time waste of developement while it's being made, but at the end of the day it has massive impact on the long run and is part of the reason why this game is so legendary. You may not like it, but once the game will be complete things like Zoey Interlude will be regarded as really great part of the game despite the negative aura it had when it came out/were developed.

Currently Episode 11 is the "downfall" update or insert whatever other negative word community has used, but perhaps it's gonna be best update we have ever seen or will ever see - you never know!

I love this game and if it needs 1 year of developement per update to be this great that's the price we should be willing to tolerate. I wrote this post with even more emotions because some games that I see potential in either get abandoned or developement gets struck with unfortunate news and one way or another it fails to live up to that potential. We may be witnessing greatest game this industry will ever produce, put some respect on that. Peace!

It was a very productive week. I finished all the remaining writing. Yep, all of it, as previously stated - is written.

Moreover, I added new patrons since episode 10 to the credits, added the Vault digits to the episode, double-checked that they worked, and ensured that all special renders were added.

I've now started working on the remaining art.

Here's an updated checklist and my current thoughts.

Unfinished writing
  • Analyze if any branch needs more writing during polishing. Other than that, all scenes should be written and ready for art and polishing.
Unfinished art
  • I haven't counted the exact number of scenes that need art, but it's ~20 scenes of varied length.
  • Static renders and animations for a small lewd scene
SFX & Music
  • SFX & Music for the scenes mentioned in the art section; the rest of the episode should be close to completion.
Coding & other tasks
  • Rooster needs 1-2 more clucks.
  • Analyze how much more the phone gallery needs. It's near completion.
  • Phone chats are near completion.
  • Add Bios to the entire episode. It's a couple of hours worth of work.
  • The end of the episode report needs to be written.
  • Add Discord rich presence functionality for Episode 11.
After the above comes the polishing, proofreading and beta-testing process.

My thoughts on all of this
Creating the remaining static renders and animations will be fun and not pose any greater difficulties. I will have to design some new environments for the remaining scenes. I expect big progress with the unfinished art over the upcoming weeks.

There are two big remaining hurdles before beta testing and proofreading - one labor-intensive and one limited by hardware.

Rendering the remaining animations is one of the hurdles, but I'm seeing a decent speed on what's rendering. 60 animation files are currently in the queue.

Polishing the episode is the labor-intensive hurdle. I'll have to play it many times in different ways and make changes where needed. During this development cycle, I have only played the entire episode two or three times, with some gaps along the way.

I scrutinize the episode during the polishing phase and adjust art/code/writing accordingly. This is one of my favorite parts of the development cycle because it shows all the hard work since the last episode. It's when the episode starts to feel complete.

I plan on working on art until I'm done posing every written scene. I might do a coding task or two along the way, but the primary focus will be completing the art now.

Special announcements scare me. :eek:

"I've decided to animate every scene for the remaining episodes! I'm so excited!"

"I've employed Voice Like Candy to do the voice acting for all the dialogue in the old and new episodes! I know you'll love it!"

"I'm now using AI to do the dialogue and it's reduced the writing time down to 10%, more time for minigames!"

"I'm now devoting half my time on a spinoff series about Neil and Lynette! I know you want to see more of the loving couple, so do I!"

"Episode 12 is going to be an episode long DnG game! Oh my god, I'm getting chills!"

"I've decided to add a salt water fish tank into the game, now you can breed even more types of fish!"

"I can't be fucked doing this game any more, so I've sold the rights to ICSTOR! YAY!"​

There were 68 animation files 2 weeks ago, not including the planned animated cutscenes. I think it's fair to calculate a rendering rate of 10 animations per week. Including a small sex scene( I assume it's Madame) the animation queue will grow to 70 in a negative scenario. That's a total of 7 weeks of rendering.

The end of rendering animations - January 20.

Add to that three weeks of beta testing - and the episode release will happen on February 21, 2025.

I could be wrong by a couple weeks, but that's probably the approximate release window.

Ep 11 isn't coming out in January, we can live with that.

If DPC hurries up, ep11 will come out on Valentine's Day -February 14, lol.

I think that is a wrong calculation.

As mentioned already noone knows the exact amount of animations that are rendered.

1) is the duration of the animation in seconds and we can't predict that.
2) is the amount of animations that are finished. KaiserST did some statistics, but only DPCs "I finished x animations so far" would help us.


What I mean is, that I could argue, that he did only the long animations (above 30 seconds) and now only the short ones are missing, what means that he only needs 2 weeks to render them all.

So 2024-12 -27 release for DIK tier.

I’m going to guess that the special announcement is that this is the last episode of Season 3 and we’re now onto Season 4, because storywise I really can’t work out event Season 3 would otherwise cliffhanger on.

Ookaaaaayy prediction time everyone!!

Ep11 ends with fuckface reading Sage's adoption records, finding out that her real mom IS Priscilla aka Madame Rose, who is the ultimate boss
Ep12 and the whole season ends with Josy and Maya breaking up over Josy calling Maya a dumbass for believing that tuition shit (just how satisfying that would be), eventually Maya might even join the restaurant if we can't solve her situation. But this depends on something really dumb and random like FUCKING RP points with Bella or something like that

I don’t know what happened, but I managed to travel through time and went to 2036, where I stayed for a while. I bring news for you. The game no longer has statistical renderings; everything is animation now. And the development cycle is 6 years

Do all of the characters now have AI voice acting? :BootyTime:
