He didn't say that, only that both their scenes will happen in the winter event.
No, he literally wrote "The only spoiler is that both scenes (Bella and Jill) will happen on the same branch". The story didn't really branch before you picked a girl. Events like the Halloween party and the BBQ aren't really exclusive to any girl. Even Bella showed up for the Halloween party.

Sorry Dalli, but I gotta disagree with you, I honestly doubt none of the main girl will not be in the Party. (except Bella)

Firstly because it's a HUGE event, it will feature over 1200+ renders, so not seeing any of them for that long would be extremely weird.

Second, the reasons you gave for the girls to miss the party are quite weak.

J/M wouldn't give a fuck about their brothers (but I doubt they are using the BDSM wear in the party, that's just for the lewd scene). Like people said, they even played Beerpong in EP 10.

Sage wouldn't miss it as well considering she will probably want a distraction from everything that happened with her family, plus again the event if too big to be path specific to the Others path.

Jill already said in EP 10 for the MC not assume that she wouldn't be up to the Panty Party, even if she got a bit flustered when she heard about it. She could easily wear something a bit less revealing and no one would give a fuck.

The J/M scene is most likely either another Dare or a Christmas present that will happen outside the party.


Yep, makes sense, when that moment happens in game (MC getting a text about coming over to Maya's room) my heart will probably skip a few beats lol

That scene has everything to be my favorite, even if it was over spoiled.



There are plently of variations with Jill/Bella, I'm sure that if you hurt her, the invite to the winter retreat will have some special reason...


They should, specially if you are in their faithful routes.

But there could be some minor differences if you dated both for a while...

The previews didn't shown much, so there were fine.


That's the first time I seen someone liking that scene lol


Indeed, J/M will be at the party.

DPC probably didn't share any previews with them from there since he probably doesn't want to spoil their outfits, just like he did in the Hallowen party.

Which makes a lot of sense, I want those to be a surprise, he already spoiled too much already.


He didn't say that, only that both their scenes will happen in the winter event.


Some Josy DP would be absolutely legendary, hope you are right!


It's like people didn't saw their EP 9 scene, that was a huge tease for this scene.


Some sex scenes shouldn't be spoilered though, specially ones which do somethign different like the EP 11 threesome.


Speaking about Jill, I cannot wait to see her "progress" in EP 11 lol
I think Jill's biggest improvement is giving MC a proper blowjob :D

What is your "Renders (including animations)" number indicative of? Going by the mpa71 Big Table if you're just adding the number of animations on to the number of renders, Episode 10 would only have ~6200, but the graph looks like over 6500, so I'm having a hard time understanding what that means? Obviously animations and renders aren't 1:1 so I'd understand if you didn't just add it on, but I don't really get where the number comes from otherwise.

Regardless, I don't think that the graph really shows that the newer episodes are "very proportional". They fit the trend if you include them in the trend (thereby weighing the trend more towards themselves), but if you created a trend line from Episode 2 to Episode 7 or even Episode 8, that line would be quite a bit lower than the plotpoints for Episodes 9 and 10. Even moreso if you just did the trend line for Season 2; look how flat that trend is between Episodes 4, 5, 6, and 7. This shows that DPC was on a faster pace in the episodes before Season 3.

I don't like including animations or giving DPC credit for having 25 minutes of animations vs past episodes where he has less than 10 anyway because oftentimes all that contributes to the project is a 30 second Halloween animation that could have been 10 renders. Or a Zoey running animation that could have been 3 renders. If I am gonna include animations, I think doing it the mpa71 way of counting seconds of animations is the best way, and if you look at that, once again, Episode 7 and 8 have some of the highest ratios of seconds Animated in the end product vs development time. Including animations can explain why its taking longer, but it doesn't explain why there's such a hyperfocus on animations if they're taking so long for so little payoff.

And keep in mind that Episode 11 (and part of Episode 10) is using tech that is supposed to be MULTITUDES better than what he used to have.

I think Episode 7 is the Gold Standard for what DPC can do if he has his priorities straight, and even Episode 8 starts to show a trend of favoring animations and unsurprisingly having a worse ratio of development time vs material gains than the Episode before it.
Renders are static renders plus animation run time * fps.

I actually just averaged out all the fps to 30 even though episode 10 lewd scenes were 60 fps, because the new hardware and the bloated framerate kinda cancel out.

That said, no matter what factor you multiple the animation runtime by, you still end up with roughly the same trend (unless you put a massive number in there).

Not sure what point there is in removing episodes to determine different trends. There are many factors influencing delivery times (render factors, game factors, hardware upgrades, and even external factors) that are not accurately factored in at all, so the point of collating all the episodes render data and trending it makes more sense the more episodes you include.

Of course you could say that if you just trend episode 2-7, then using that data, episode 10 should have been delivered 2 months faster. But on the flip side, if you just trend episode 7-10, then using that data, episode 2 should have been done in -22 days... There just isn't enough data in those subsets, so it doesn't make sense using it like that. The more data you include, the more useful it is.

But, if you scrap animation data altogether and just go on static renders, you surprisingly get an even better trend:

1733653495444.png

So, the renders really are dictating the delivery times. Which makes a lot of sense, since while he has renders churning away, he's working on the other stuff (like posing, coding, writing, music, etc.) in parallel.

I probably shouldn't have used the term "directly proportional", because there's no way they'd be, but the correlation is so strong, like, the coefficient is 0.97!

And episode 11 is running right in line with that. Using the formula for the trend (days = (renders + animation time * 30) * 0.0484 - 5.2547, (estimating 20mins of animation time since we don't really have those details yet, but we have animation count, and the big ones are done I believe), we end up with a dev time of only 9 days less than the time recorded.

TLDR; The time DPC is taking to deliver the episodes is directly linked to the number of renders. Number of renders is the strongest factor among all factors for determining delivery time within +/- a month's accuracy. And he's probably gonna just keep increasing the render count, so episodes are most likely gonna take longer and longer to come out.

She very clearly enjoyed it when MC played with her butthole on Halloween, I'd imagine that got her curious about anal sex.

Is anal sex something reserved for just Christmas and your birthday or something? As long as they're comfortable with each other, what does it matter how long they've been together?
Unlike what porn try to make people think, women wanting anal sex isn't that common. 5-10% of women have tried it as some point. And usually, it happens when they give into a man wanting to do it. And unlike men, they don't have a prostate to enhance the feeling.
So the idea that a girl like Maya, after a very short relationship, would become interested in trying it just doesn't make much sense. And pleasuring her butthole was a choice so what would be her motivation if you don't?
But then again, the game takes place in a world with porn logic where every girl craves anal sex and the feeling of sperm on their faces.

the only thing I don't understand is... all the chapters we got closer and closer to Heather, but in the end the other one got the best :cry: ... WTF is generally not an understandable solution on the part of Drpinkcake. If Elena and Sally are in chapter 11 (which I'm really looking forward to) I need Heather too :cautious:
P.S. I hope I'm not the only one waiting for this

Does she really have a strict religious father?
He wasn't, originally. He became out of desperation after his wife got worse. So growing up, he was most likely not very strict. Originally the mother was the religious one.
Also, he's proberbly not against Maya being a lesbian because of religion but because he wants his wife to see her get married and have a child, something that was her dream.

What's the sample size for this "5-10%"? You acknowledge the game doesn't run on real world logic regarding sex, but still try and apply some to Maya wanting anal sex? What about being in a throuple, surely that isn't something a girl like Maya would try in the real world? Or even most normal people?

Just say you don't buy it. Just like I don't buy your claims about women and anal sex.

I got it from an article written by an MD but sure, it could be wrong.
As for the throuple, normally not. But she found herself in a weird situation being in love with 2 people who were also in love with each other.
I'm stating that realistically she wouldn't be into anal sex but I also acknowledge that this isn't a realistic game

I don't think you know what repressed sexuality is. What's going on with Maya is anything but repressed sexuality. If she was suffering from it, firstly she would be afraid of her own body, she would think her naked body was ugly, secondly she would find it difficult to enjoy sex, thirdly she would suffer from depression and often be sad after sex because she thought sex was very sinful and immoral.
It would have been very interesting to show Maya like this, but her journey to her first sex scene would have been more than Jill's.
Maya is actually a pretty liberated girl. She dresses sexy, it's easy for her to talk to a guy, and she lets a guy touch her even if she's known him for a couple minutes.
Does she really have a strict religious father?
Maya begins to open up away from Patrick's control. Remember, that this prick told her how to dress - how bad it was.
And feeling free, Maya begins to explore herself more, at first Josy helped her with this (funny, it is Josy who is the active partner in their relationship).
Having felt free, Maya begins to gradually come out of her shell. Yes, Patrick is religious because of Helen's illness - it was she who was religious, not him, and a desperate person needs something to hold on to. He suppressed Maya's sexuality for years, suggesting that lesbianism is something wrong, that it is an illness, he put psychological pressure on her. In such environment, it was difficult for Maya to understand herself.
DPC is prone to hack writing though, some things with better execution than others.
That's right, the writing failures are noticeable. He's better at storytelling and working with emotions than writing, reminds me of Steven Moffat (Sherlock and Doctor Who writer and showrunner)
