I've done a fair deal of everything this past week. It started out with a few days of coding and I almost finished a new feature that I've been working hard on.

Actually, there's more than one new feature this episode, but that's something I'll leave you to discover.

I've moved on to writing and posing static renders and animations again. I need to get back to focus on writing dialogue this upcoming week to be able to have material to pose for soon.

I still have plenty of animations left to do and dialogue and static renders are almost neck and neck. It's a stressful period right now, but I'll pull through in time.

This is the current render and animation count:

1714 static renders + 68 animations

Some other nice preliminary stats for the episode, there will be at least:

-15 new licensed songs

-10 new CC0 songs

In poll news, there's an ongoing poll for "Special renders: Main girl". At the moment, it's a split poll where Sage is in the lead in the $10 poll and Isabella is in the lead in the other polls.

When tallied, Isabella is in the overall lead. The poll ends next week, so I'll report the results in the next status update.

Have a nice weekend

"Longest", not "biggest", as in the episode will take the longest time to get through when you play it, but that doesn't necessarily have to mean that the animation count will be greater as it all depends on what the episode consists of.

For all we know, what they have planned might not require as many animations as the previous episode, but may require more renders. Also, this "new feature" they've been working on may be what will makes this the "longest episode" so far because it will require the player to spend some time on it.



That's fan-art. You can see the artist's name on the left side.
Brother trust me i wish you are right but i cant see it comes before November but hey hopefully im wrong

Has DPC said on how many episodes he plans to do? Anyone got some infos regarding this?
They once said 10-20 but then also said they likely won't do less than 4 seasons, which going by the season structure of 4 episodes per season, would mean we're in for at least 16 episodes.

Oh wow, don't know if this is good or bad, like unnecessarily stretching the story. It feels like the story is almost over so I don't know what will happen for the next 10 episodes or so

It's crazy to think that we're not even in the halfway point of the game. We're already going crazy with theories and so far to most answers.

Each episode the game becoming bigger and bigger.
Yes, but think about the content of those episodes, particularly 4 and 5. In ep 4 we had the 3 branching paths and each of them had lots of animations for all the different events, and then ep 5 had 8 sex scenes, some fairly lengthy, as well as the yoga and sauna events. Ep 6 might not have quite as many events that require such long animations and could be more like ep 3 for all we know.

The fact that DPC said it will "surpass 100" says to me that it won't be quite as high as ep 5 or even ep 4 because if it were, and they knew that based on what they're planning, they probably would have said it will "surpass 130", or "surpass 150, or even "surpass ep 5". But they said "100" which makes me view it as meaning it will be closer to that number.

Yeah, Ep 5 felt short to me compare with Ep 4.

Only because it was confined to 2 locations and took place over the shortest in-game period of time, but it's the biggest in terms of renders and animations so far.

Given DPC's comment about ep 6 being the "longest episode", I expect it to have the highest render count and probably some fairly lengthy minigames and free-roams. Hopefully it will also span a few days in-game too, if not the whole week.

As for Tommy, he is the asshole authority figure for MC and similar to Quinn I love him as a character because he is great in that role. He has strengths and glaring weaknesses which mean he has enormous room for future growth and as such he can evolve into an ally, an opponent or both during the course of the story. He is not one dimensional by a long shot, his ubber territorial cunt sergeant personality exhibits a tribal and loyal aspect to Tommy - family comes first, there's a reason he and Rusty founded the DIKs with that motto - and he has shown on numerous occasions that he is not above acknowledging MC for doing something he approves and even admires. His meltdown in Ep 5 was a result of his short temper and getting his party and trust shit on by Quinn and the hots, getting humiliated by the alphas, and the DIK mansion getting ransacked all in the same evening. Then he learns they can't rely on their old lifestyle anymore - childish yes, but not surprising that he'd be furious.

If you are familiar with the Netflix show Elite, then Tommy resembles the character Guzman almost to a T - Guzman for much the same reasons and more is my favorite character on that show by far as well ;)
Excellent post for Tommy, and this is the reason why hes in my top 3 for male characters.

Yeah hes a rude obnoxious douchebag, but I have said it before, he is a good guy by nature. Short tempered, reacts quickly without thinking, but definitely cares a lot for his loved ones. I think we will see a lot of development from him where people start to appreciate him more, and by the end of it, he will be a pivotal ally for the MC.
