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.
To be fair it is very close to being finished. At this point it's the animations that are likely to be the last thing done and beta testing can happen without those being completed if he was smart about it.

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.

It may be, but to me dpc seems very "smart"

True. Last update from 2 days ago his computer was doing the last 62 animations and he was working on the art now. So the game is finished except for the animations being animated and the last static renders. The episode should be finished by the end of the year or so, then he will play test full time.

I totally agree with you, being the definition of "smart" someone who does his own interests.
That "IF" was following the implicit definition of "smart" assumed by the post I was replying to, that is someone who do things in the quickest way possible.
But as we already discussed, that would be smart for someone paid by delivery and DPC is paid by the month.
So, yes, you're right he IS smart.
Yeah. Probably not.
My guesses remains Ep11 March 2025 (optimistically February) and Ep 12 not before June 2026.

I don't agree that rushing a product is "smart" and that taking your time to get it as good as possible is not. To some of you this might be "just a porn game" but the rest of us actually care about the quality of the content more than the quantity.
Yes, that would be netori. I mean that if we were playing fast and loose with the definition of NTR (i.e if MC and Elena has sex that is NTR) then NTR would already have happened because Heather can give MC a blowjob.

I do care more of the quality of the narration more than the quantity of frames.
That's why I would prefere 30fps. Let's be honest: character movements are way too robotic to actually believe that increasing the frame rate would enhance the quality of the animations.
DPC boasts about spending implementation efforts to improve the rendering of the damn bottles in the background, yet thinks metallic gray teeth are perfectly fine as they are.
I do agree that this is one of the best AVN, otherwise I wouldn't bother being here, but it is one of the best for the narration, NOT for the fucking 60fps or the cutscenes with camera panning.
I've seen animation of characters that nonetheless being at 30fps looks less robotic, thus more realistic, thus they have a better quality.
Free roams: they are fun the first time you play, but they are an huge effort programmatically and they are not skippable with FF on the replays to explore different branches.

My opinion is that there is a bunch of stuff that could be dropped without decreasing the quality of the game, and dropping it could decrease production time by 20% at least.

I know that some feel like you but there are other who don't agree. I have seen negative reviews on Steam for Visual Novels because the frame rate was 30fps. I personally don't care much about higher frame rate but obviously some do.

I am late to the party here I know but I just finished episode 4. Bit bummed you are forced to forgive as it were, Maya and to a lesser extent Josy did the mc dirty.
It finally actually is though. The estimate is around 7000 statics are needed and so far DPC, when focusing on them, does around 150 at least a week. So maybe mid-Jan feature-complete at the worst, February release at the far end.
