I don't capture the images like N7 but can get the text over.




This week I've mostly been writing, polishing the game and coding while letting the PCs render the queue. I've posed some animations and static renders as well, so it's moving forward in all areas.
I'm almost finished writing, I have some phone content left and material for two free roam events.
2879 renders and 116 animations are complete.
The queue has 125 renders and 37 animations; meaning we're currently at 3004 renders and 153 animations for this update when everything has rendered.
I will be focusing on posing art next week. I have roughly 10-15 animations left to pose along with 150-300 static renders.
After I have posed everything I'll try to estimate the remaining render time. When all art is posed and I have to wait for it to render, I will playtest and polish the game myself. After that beta testing and proofreading will start, a process that takes approximately two weeks. Given the size and content of the episode, two weeks will likely be needed.
I haven't checked the file size of the game for this episode until now, and the zip file of the full download is currently 10.4 GB. I don't think it will be more than 11 GB, but that's the approximate space you will need for the game upon release (plus space for extracting the files of course).
Have a nice weekend

We'll kick off October with some exciting news.

I've officially posed every single animation of episode 6 and I have been working hard on posing static renders as well this week.

I have content for two free roam events and the phone left to produce and the process of proper playtesting and polishing the game; which I will do when I wait for the animations to render.

We're waiting for 31 animations and a couple hundred statics to render.

After that, there's a two-week process of beta testing and proofreading before release. I will announce a release date when beta testing has started.

Have a nice weekend

Nuts. Here I was all excited to try out my new spreadsheets and DPC count-blocks me by including almost no numbers. There truly is no justice. :cry:

Screw it, let's see what we can learn from the number and half he did give: 31 animations and "a couple hundred" static renders in the render queue. After that it's two weeks of testing - hopefully followed by release if nothing breaks too badly.

Since July, DPC has completed between 5-10 animations and 131-238 statics per week, for an average rate of 6.9 animations and 188.8 statics per week. [Counting only weeks when numbers are published. For the truly hardcore, the absolute rate from 6/26 to 9/25 is 155.6/6.4] Using those numbers, DPC has 2-3 weeks of statics and 4.5 weeks of animations left. Those numbers have held fairly steady, which suggests beta testing would begin around the first week of November, giving us a release around November 13.

There is a potential catch, however. Last week, DPC said there were 37 animations in the queue and 10-15 more to be posed. This week we know all the animations have been posed and the queue is 31. That means he completed 6 animations plus however many he wound up posing over the week.

If we trust his estimates, that means this week saw an unprecedented 16-21 animations rendered! In that scenario, it's possible the remaining animations are shorter than average and the new pace could continue. At 16 animations/week, DPC could begin beta testing by 10/16 and still barely be on course for an October release. And there would be much rejoicing.

Of course, the alternative is that DPC wound up posing fewer renders than anticipated. Even 6 posed animations would give 12/week, potentially shaving 2 weeks off the initial estimate but no longer likely to release in November.

So, what should we believe? I don't think he managed to more than double his average rendering rate, so my guess is he just posed fewer animations than expected. On it's own, that would incline me to believe we're in the November 6-13 range. But the fact that DPC gave no real numbers and instead focused on the beta schedule does suggest he's thinking sooner than that.

Because of how Patreon is structured, there is a strong incentive to release the game at the end of a month (to tempt people into upping their pledge to get the game sooner, and possibly to remain subscribed for a second month). That being the case, it's possible DPC is streamlining the process to hit that target - by shortening the vital animations and cutting less vital ones entirely.

That means the release time frame really hinges on how you judge DPC. If you think he's willing to cut corners to meet his own internal deadlines, pick 10/30. If you think he'll keep posing every last animation until it's perfect, pick 11/13. Me being the cynical gamer I am, I'll join the crowd and say October is back on the table. Yay! (As I said, I never cared that much about animations.:p)

tl;dr Episode 6 will likely be released 10/30 if testing goes well.

What are everyone's different theories on how Maya/Josy's threesome will go if MC isn't helping them complete all the scavenger hunt tasks?

I REALLY hope we aren't railroaded into joining if you are on the "just friends" route with them.

I'm curious who the third member would be if MC declines:

Jade's Husband: Doubtful, too big a chance the video would leak and ruin him.

Tybalt or another prep: Doubtful. In any other story he'd be portrayed as being sleazy enough to do it, in a "evil rich guy in a dark hentai game" kind of way, but Tybalt is pretty one dimensional and flat, he's simply really arrogant and would view fucking commoners as beneath him.

Vinny: Possible. I'm thinking Vinny is the "bigger bad," lurking in the shadows behind Quinn/Tommy, so I could see him fucking Josy/Maya to get over how evil he is.

Quinn: "If you want something done right..."

A masked Pink Rose customer: If you don't warn Maya, and choose to be just friends, you doom Maya/Josy to a life of prostitution. Quinn arranges with Stanley to have a "high roller" Pink Rose customer wear a mask and nail Josy/Maya in the PR's VIP lounge. The whole thing is secretly recorded and uploaded to the Internet.
you know that a threesome between only girls also count as threesome? that stripper club girl who is also in HOTs now is interested in Josy. Can't say about other tasks like blowjob, handjob etc.

If they are not your love interests they will anyhow get sexual with a boy. Either the story will not focus on their list or if it does focus MC be the third guy. If it does not focus it simply means they did it with an another boy.

I think when the EP 6 out I'm gonna play the game from the beginning :unsure:
We'll, do as you wish. I did a new playthrough recently, as I posted some pictures during it, and I just warn you,
even with knowing what I want, what decisions i wanna make and using the official walkthrough guide as a guide, it take me a while to finish it.
it is actually a long game if you start it from the begining. although, I did not skip anything, not even the conversations :D .
I suggest, if you want to replay it, do it now. When ep 6 coming out, you will be wanting to see the new stuff. :)

what's the frequency of updates? Is it 5-6 months for an episode?

Approximately, yeah. I started following this game in October 2019, and I think version 0.4 came out in the last week of October/first week of November. Then version 0.5 came out in early May, about 6 months later. So it makes sense that version 0.6 will drop at the end of October or early November.
Ep4 came out in 2020 january actually. January 10 exactly.
ep 4 was a big episode, because of the 3 different starting point. ep4 was the only episode until this point that took him more than 3-4 month. ep6 seem to be a big episode too, thats why its take him this long .

ep5 release date was Friday, May 29. but this is tricky because he spend around 2 week, with the steam version. He started to work properly on ep5 around end of february. so yeah in the past it was usually 4 month between episodes, except ep4. now as I said ep6 seems to be a big episode.
the promised 2 week beta testing is what its make this seem to be long shoot for an october release, but I'm not entirely sure it would actually be 2 proper week testing. my bet is oct 23. since he usualy release the episodes on friday.

but all in all, with each episode he puts more and more renders and more and more animations , so this development circles will only be just bigger, may be that is why he said : "at least there will be a season 3".

I see a lot of speculation and hope the predictions are true, but has the Dev team committed to a release this month? No, I'm not stirring the pot, just asking and looking forward to playing DIK v0.6.0!

I wanted to know about jill's past and searched here about her and almost every comment was about her being virgin. why people are so much into her virginity? I mean yeah she's the most beautiful and innocent one in this game and it would be a great to know she's virgin but still will continue her route no matter she's virgin or not. Remember that Josy isn't virgin either. She has been with a man or many men in the past unlike maya.

in reality that Jill is a virgin remains possible, but not so certain.

she is a girl who gives a lot of importance to sex, but this does not mean that she has not already traveled all the stages with another guy, or that her attention now comes from having been "rash" in a previous story.

personally I give little importance to the matter. it is important to be the last, not the first

NTR is only when you see or come to know your love interests having sex with an another man after you meet them. you can't do anything about their past.

Josy is not virgin. she has been with a man or maybe more than one in the past(not yet confirmed but the way she fucked MC in ep5 and that expression she made during cum facial made me think she had done it with a boy before). now that's not NTR. but if she have sex with an another man after meeting MC it will be counted as NTR. Still don't want to see any flashbacks where i have to see love interests having sex with other man.

The way how she behaves or how innocent she is, she is most probably virgin. If she's not she must have lost it in a serious relationship but she also said that she had never been in a serious date so she has never been in a serious relationship. Also she went on a date with Rusty only once and that also did not end well. TBH jill and bella are the 2 love interests we don't know much about. judging by her behavior she's virgin.

how can you say she gives importance to sex? if you mean she really want to have sex then no, she's not like that. if you mean she is one of those girls who wait for the right man and then have sex then yes you are correct.

the second you said, Jill doesn't do anything sexual lightly, she wants to be sure.

I don't think however that the term "innocent" is the most correct for Jill, she is very serious, considering her age also excessively. even when Jill slows down MC's momentum, she seems very aware to me. she is very polite and therefore not very spontaneous, she always does, or at least tries to do, what she deems right. in every aspect, even the sexual one

she is opposites with Bella: Bella lets herself go and then repents, Jill holds back and then consoles herself by convincing herself that she did well

What's the latest? When is the estimated release?
Same as it was the last 200 times this question was asked, late october, early november, based on the amount of work the dev says they have left to do. They don't estimates though so it's all guesswork.
