last beta took just a week.Well, interesting he thinks the latest animations will be done is Feb 9. The beta on top of that, yeah... It's not landing February

Is that true? Last I heard Beta usually lasts about 2 weeks.last beta took just a week.
Nah it will 100% be MC & Josy or MC & Bella AGAINThe February 14 predictions will come true and hopefully the final preview is Elena and MC![]()
You're right. He could have released ep10 in November, but he released it in December to get more money from subscriptions. He'll do the same thing this year.Is that true? Last I heard Beta usually lasts about 2 weeks.
Either way, it's putting a finished product at the end of Feb... From a business point of view it would make sense to announce a release date of early March at the end of Feb to get all those extra patron payments.
That's it, it gives everyone time to up there pledges to the higher tiers and he gets to double dip.You're right. He could have released ep10 in November, but he released it in December to get more money from subscriptions. He'll do the same thing this year.
Tsk tsk. Just think about it. Why releasing the update in mid/late February when subscriptions come to an end ? He wait until the first week of March, he secures one more very lucrative month.Thats basically a confirmation for a february release. Aiming for valentines day for a little "marketing" extra push is very likely. Even so, nobody really cares for that day... but whatever. He is polishing since christmas now, so the beta testers will not have much to look at i guess. And considering how "flawless" each episode came out with nearly zero bugs (no, mod caused bugs arent game bugs) he does polish everything very good anyways... last beta test took only a week.
Last preview is James looking through the dining room window at his wife boning MC.The February 14 predictions will come true and hopefully the final preview is Elena and MC![]()

This week, I started by playing Others' and Isabella's branches. I feel very good about how the different playthroughs of the episode feel.
I've also played with a focus on mini-games and balancing the party planning mini-game. Then, I focused on replaying all the lewd scenes; although three scenes were missing animations, I could polish most of the content.
I checked that the Music app is updated with all new songs and works as intended. I also added a couple more SFX that I had missed. I continued working on Phone chats and Rooster, adding more chats, clucks, and gallery images. I believe I'm done with the phone content now.
I'm analyzing the code, flow, and choices right now. This allows me to spot well-hidden errors and oddities I have yet to encounter while playing. I've found several rare bugs resulting from nested choices and exceptions. This information also tells me which playthrough I need to test more thoroughly.
The episode is getting increasingly polished, and my lists of issues to fix between playthroughs are often very short.
The PCs are rendering nonstop, and over the last couple of weeks, I've tried to estimate their render speed and calculate how much more time is needed before they are done. It's tricky because each animation differs in speed, and I'm seeing a spread of up to 100% render time with some animations. Assuming the average render speed stays the same, the PCs should be done with the animation queue on February 7-9 at the latest. If I see that the speed changes, for the better or worse, I'll let you know.
Beta testing will commence as soon as possible after the final animation is complete. I will provide more information about that later. Next week, I will continue polishing and playing; it is the only task left on my checklist for this episode.
The final preview of episode 11 will be released sometime later this month. I think it's safe to say it's a preview you don't want to miss.
Have a nice weekend

I think you are right.Well, we got specifics.
Now a lot depends on how long the beta lasts.
If it lasts 3 weeks, which is unlikely because of the branching and complexity of the code that DPС just said, episode 11 will be released on February 28.
But it is more likely that episode 11 will be released on March 7, when they start charging for patreon subscriptions.
From a business standpoint, it's not profitable to release an episode on the last day of February.
I'm 90% sure that the episode will be released in the March 7 -14 window.
I bet the final preview will be about a threesome. DPC already spoilered Josy and Maya's anal scene, it'll probably be something like a threesome with Sage and Camilla or Bella and Bianca or something.Last preview is James looking through the dining room window at his wife boning MC.
Like Jill did... except somehow even funnier.
You must be afraid to dream bigger.I bet the final preview will be about a threesome. DPC already spoilered Josy and Maya's anal scene, it'll probably be something like a threesome with Sage and Camilla or Bella and Bianca or something.
Well... if that would be the case, why did he release not every episode on the first of each month? It never happened so far, why will it now? And monthly subs doesnt subdued after a release so far too... they pay anyways, there are many people like me who will just pay once for the episode, and for that it doesnt matter on which day it will be released, so no... i dont think that tis will have an effect on the releasedate, it never had before and will not now.Tsk tsk. Just think about it. Why releasing the update in mid/late February when subscriptions come to an end ? He wait until the first week of March, he secures one more very lucrative month.

Not that i'm expecting it to happen, February is technically still possible. I vaguely recall DPC had previously mentioned that beta cycles take about 2 weeks. If the animation is on track for Feb 7, and beta starts right away as DPC said so we add 2 weeks to that, we are at Fri Feb 21. And if animation goes a little beyond Feb 7, there's still Fri Feb 28.I think you are right.
When DrPinkCake released previous episodes:
episode 10: Friday, 8th December 2023
episode 9: Friday, 16th December 2022
interlude: Friday, 4th March 2022
episode 8: Friday, 19th November 2021
episode 7: Friday, 23rd April 2021
episode 6: Friday, 13th November 2020
So, guys, just do your math.
IMHO February is impossible. March 7-14-21 are the dates.
Anyway, in my opinion episode 8 was the last time an episode was worth the wait. Episode 9 & 10 weren't. Interlude simply shouldn't have happened.
It's not about the patron numbers decreasing. It's about capitalising on those who are subbed and giving them a chance to pay more.Well... if that would be the case, why did he release not every episode on the first of each month? It never happened so far, why will it now? And monthly subs doesnt subdued after a release so far too... they pay anyways, there are many people like me who will just pay once for the episode, and for that it doesnt matter on which day it will be released, so no... i dont think that tis will have an effect on the releasedate, it never had before and will not now.
And like Chalk said, it commercially more profitable for him. If Patreon still doesn't changed payment system to start counting month from date of your subscription.26 + the 11 from the steam announcement lol
I'm going with March honestly, I doubt the beta will be faster than the last one.

Lmao DPC just inverted the colors on the dress Sally wore at the dorm party for this random chick in the Stephen flashback. Did he think no one would notice? Or maybe I'm supposed to wonder if that's Sally Sr.![]()
