It's not, unfortunately.
If ep11 comes out in march(which is 90%), it will take 15 months( one year and 3 months) to develop ep11.
On average the next update takes 3 months longer than the previous one. Then 15+3 =18 months ( one and a half year).
The 13th episode will take 21 months (one year and 9 months) by the same logic.
He can stick to 15 months and during the development of ep12 at least because of a sense of prudence. A year and a half for development is insane in every way.

We might get to 2 years at some point, sure, but not by Episode 12 as Ottoeight claims.

Very helpful comment, not sure what I would have done without it.

Git gud?

;) In all seriousness, it's been a bit since I was interested in her path. I did unlock them out of curiosity but it's been a while. I believe if you download the walkthroughs you can do a find to see where the places show up to unlock all the scenes.

Yeah, the walkthrough I need to be on the others path, but I am not sure what that is + I have already seen her first scenes, so it's weird that I am in the final free roam and she isn't available to call.

It has been stated a billion times, I am sure you can find more reasons. For me the main problem is that it cannot be played without a checklist of the stuff you need to do. Outside of the Josy and Maya going to the theater, that give the player the hint to check that zone, there is almost none of environmental storytelling that bait people on where to go next.

I should be able to complete the party without ever opening the check list, because thats how good game design and good storytelling works.

Why should I check back in my room at this point in time? Did we see Vinny go there? Not exactly, we saw him trying to open the safe and then walked out of focus, but the phone knows that he is there and that something needs to happen there and now that I checked the phone I also lost any surprise in seeing him there. Nothing more immersion breaking to me than this type of game design.

He has averaged 4.3 animations since September. This is low.

On the 5th January he confirmed 63 completed animations. This included a bunch that had been done during the polish and beta testing as well as over christmas. If we count 5th January as 0 and take 63 from the overall total we get this 323-63=260. 260 Animations over 49 weeks is an average of 5.3 a week.

He has 66 animations to complete. At 5.3 a week he will finish rendering in 12 weeks or 7th March. If he only manages 4.3 (things may speed up once the still renders are cleared) it will take 15.3 weeks, rounding that down a little to 15 gives us 28/03/2025. I think there is an outside chance of render completion in February but relistically a release much before April will need a very quick polish and beta period. Frankly every time i've given him the benefit of the doubt with these forecasts it's ended up being the slower end of expectation, but things could speed up a bit. I think a release is Feburary is all but impossible now, a release in March is 25% and 75% in April.

I think in September I said February 7th plus beta testing. I dont think that will happen now. A reminder that when Pink says he rendering at 60FPS is just as quick this is bullshit. He hit 335 animations on the last episode on week 48. This epsiode he is at 323 on week 53.

If you want to be an optimist then maybe now the big animation is done, things will speed up in general, and when the stills are done this will add a boost as well. It could be a bit sooner.

Coming out in April it will be a complete failure for DPC.
He's a smart guy after all and always closer to the final development animations rendered faster than predicted.
Last year a lot of people expected ep10 to come out in January, but the episode came out in December.

Quick question, guys. Does DPC's anti-mod retarted savefucker thing check for whether console has been used?

Here is a post from last September (2023) where I suggested a release date on 1st December for Episode 10. Beta testing was longer than usual and it ended up being the 8th.

There is a possibility the third system could improve things. I’ll happily be wrong.

52 days takes us to the week between 17th and 24th November, Which would probably mean 1st December release.

While the 70-80% improvement might be great. It hasn’t translated into a noticeable increase in animation production this cycle and that’s because DPC in all his ‘wisdumb‘ decided to double his animation work load with the 60 fps increase.

We can see that 2 systems on the 4090s were making around 6.5 a week. So presuming the third system was working on statics and has now been upgraded, it could add 3.25. So 9.75 a week. That still takes you to November 10th plus beta testing. 17th November is about as optimistic as I can be, but I’d happily be wrong.

The main frustration is one way or another it’s going to of taken 11-12 months. Which is 6-10 weeks longer than the last episode. Which was already a big increase on the one before that. The 4090 system upgrades should have been about bringing production back into a sensible time frame, rather than an animation upgrade that 95% of the audience won’t even notice.

I'm not saying i'm 100% right, it's a forecast based on estimates so there is a margin or error. And you're right things can speed up, once 'stills' are finished, and without any long animations he could produce more. That said he won't be able to do that until the stills are finished which probably takes things to January.

Last time he had 3 full weeks of beta testing so even finishing production on 7th March could still lead to a 28th March release.
