Definitely think the main party in Episode 11 is largely responsible for how long it's taken this time.

Fuck! Another endless free roam that kills the replayability in order to explore other branches.

(And this time we won't have the help of Sancho mod, likely since Sancho latest activity here dates back to June or so)

That's just your projection, since you don't know anything what was before MC.
Not really. We know Elena was partying long before then and unless I'm mistaken people do start to comment on how Sally is at loads of parties despite not really doing it before.

But you don't know that one way or the other. In fact, it is heavily imply that lots of people used to party with the Diks , but did you forget we attended at 2 and half party before the mansion was destroyed. :ROFLMAO:

WE only meet the Vixens at the Halloween party, but it is clear they used to party with the Diks , or Hello ? , Becky ?! Jacob even Fucked her, omg, NTR and its slipped off from people mind :LOL::ROFLMAO:

There's loads of stuff unexplained but the Sally stuff has been pretty focused in how she appears more and more at parties as time goes on and it does look to have started after you join the DIKs.

Not sure if the party is the culprit, even it's looking like a huge event that will probably be 20% of the whole EP.

I feel that, now that the game is so path dependent, DPC is probably trying to stuff each LI route with as much as possible content.

Add in all of his stupid decisions like the 60fps animations, the useless cutscenes (I'm sure that season 3 trailer took over a month to render), the excessive minigames and suddently you are 1 year without an update.

Also, tomorrow its the one year anniversary of EP 10 release.

Boy I wish tomorrow was as great as last year's 8th of december...
They did talk over and over about how there was "one huge free roam" if I recall correctly, and a lot of the LI stuff has happened during them. The minigames and posing of animations probably don't take that much active dev time at this point, it's rendering time that's the killer.

We'll obviously only really know when it comes out but I do get the feeling that this episode's party is going to be the largest by some margin given where the story's gone.

if we really want to nitpick it is more like She usually partying with the Hots.
But Sally is kind of a Fanservice, who appears more often after episode 6 .you right about that one

This is in fact showed in the game: Sally started buy her medications from Quinn and then Quinn invited her to the HOTs party in ep. 7. After that she started attend to parties from now on because of either: a) is where she and Quinn do business. b) she just took a like for parties once she went to one for the first time.

Cage Key is absolutely on the "Metal Bar" on "Center point of the screen". In the Middle. Just hover in the Middle on the Metal Bar. Don't go to Sides or Corners. Center part is where the Key is.

Seriously that was a waste of time.

You know this year is going to end in about three weeks, right?

Or are you using an alien 666-days-per-year calendar?

Just kidding
Ep 11 not before March. (Late February to be really wishful thinkers)

Ep 12... It's early to forecast, but if current trend is not inverted, I'd say June 2026.

We have past the 15 months per episode mark.
I think you are way off - eps 11 should be in beta soon and 12 will prob be smaller than 11 due to narrowing of the story due to previous choices. I would say end of next year for the entire season 3.

not sure if you are serious or not :unsure:

ep 11 is not even close to be finished, let alone be in beta test. and Considering that already started to promote season 3 on steam, before he even finished ep 11, it is a very good indication that Season 3 actually will only have 3 episode.

and ep 12 will be the beginning of season 4, if he not give us an another Interlude in the mean time. And you can bet your ass that that ep 12 will have 8000 Render, and its gonna keep growing wiht each episode
;)

Except DPC confirmed in the Steam post that Season 3 will only conclude with EP 12.

Gotta love how he made all that fuss in Steam (spoiled a lot of great scenes) and the season won't lauch in less than 18 months.

We should have a free roam that requires MC to pass mini-games to advance further. Like at a party he gets pulled into beer pong (must win) and has to console a crying drunk girl (based on the gender studies game) and save the plants on the patio from being trampled (a new game!), and each step/clicking on an arrow consumes an energy resource. PEAK ENTERTAINMENT
1 remember spending like 1 hour lost in the party free roam, i could not be more exited playing HYPE

Ep 12 will be bigger than 11 100% so DPC can keep stroking his ego with the "biggest update of the game. Another record! look how i'm the greatest and praise me you fuckers!" bullshit to his patrons and will take no less than 18 months 100000%
Season 3 won't be released on steam until end of 2026 at he best. And season 4 will be completed only at the end of 2033 at the best because is 10000000000000% sure at least 2 episodes of season 4 will take +2 whole years of development.
At least is still better than other games that will take literally +30 years to be finished with their release pace, i think. Either way, stop delude yourself with this "next episode will be smaller" thing. DPC just say this bullshit at the beginning of every dev cycle just to string people along with this empty hope.

You might be right about Episode 12 being smaller, and in that case it could be delivered by the end of 2025.

There is no way that Episode 12 will be released before February.
I'd say most likely March, but I wouldn't rule out February completely.
To be extremely optimist I could believe that DPC decides not to add more shit and thus he can release Episode 11 by the end of January (that would already be an eroic dose of copium).

But Episode 11 by 2024? Not possible, just because of all the stuff that is already in the rendering queue.

No one who followed the weekely status updates could hope for a release by 2024 (not to mention by December 24th, 2024) - not even under an OVERDOSE of copium.
