And by the way, I also think these two things will eventually happen:

1. When the locked room at Bella finally opens, we'll know that during her marriage, she has been a sexual slave to her husband, and there's why sometimes she behaves in that tsundere way.

2. Quinn will hurt us really bad, by planting drugs in the room of the one we love most.

I know he has, but even with the most high-end machines, when you do the maths on average render times, how much code they have to write, time taken to search for music tracks, etc, and just how much is involved in posing and lighting the renders and animations, they'd surely have to be living in a Hyperbolic Time Chamber to be able to do all of this by themselves in just 5 months, or they simply don't eat or sleep.

Would be very interesting if DPC did a development stream some day so we can all see just how quickly they work, because if we can see them making about 50 renders in a day, then that would go a long way to dispelling doubt.
That's an interesting question. The way DPC gives his numbers makes it hard to track the number of renders/animations he posed in a given week, but we could make some estimates.

He finished with 3334 static renders and 162 animations. The animations were all posed by 10/2 and the last of the static renders were posed by the following week. If we assume he began posing two weeks after Episode 5 launched, he had a little over 15 weeks to pose everything. Let's say he works 80 hours a week on the game, and devotes 75% of his time to posing. That would give him ~920 hours to pose everything.

We don't know how long it takes to pose a static or animated render, so we will have to settle for some rough bounds. If animations and statics take equally long to pose (which I doubt), he'd have to create a pose every ~15.8 minutes. If we assume animations take 10 times longer than static renders to pose, he would need to pose a static in 11.1 minutes and an animation in ~1 hour 51 minutes.

I have zero experience with animations, so I cannot say how feasible it would be to hit those numbers. If I were to guess, I think it might be doable if the process is largely automated (selecting pre-set poses from a large library and the like). A lot of the statics are basic things, and DPC has been at this for a while. He probably has a good idea of how the characters will look, and just needs to customize certain aspects (like lighting or new clothes) for a given scene.

That said, it's obviously an insanely hardcore workload (pun intended). I still worry about the guy burning out.

I'm 95% convinced that Chad is currently trying to get out of the closset. I think in one of the Neutral/Chick paths MC will help him opening the door, and ending well with Sage.
:unsure: No Judgments, but can I let Leon or Jamie or Nick help him with that?

Oh... no no no no.. :eek:
I just read again my own text and it gives you a wrong idea. -- I didn't mean it involving the MC in that gay or bi relation. --
I just imagine something like if MC finds out about that secret relation, and after making peaces with Chad, help him by explaining the situation to Sage. Or making his life a hell if you choose the DIK option.

I don't disagree with you, but when you look at the renders alone in a gallery, a lot of static renders are copy and paste to create a new scene, not necessarily 100% original work each time. Just another factor to consider when looking at the numbers. Again, I still think it is a large workload and I'm not impatient or in any hurry to get my hands on the update. There is plenty of media out there to pass the time.

It has been addressed multiple times. Use the search function in this forum
OK.... I'm searching but not finding. I see results about missing two files from .5.0 to .5.2 but I started with .5.2 so I don't believe that's the fix I need. Can someone point me to a post number?

Will someone send some pictures of Jill and Bella please? I saw that there are some images that I had not seen of them

Yeah and maybe throw that bitch Sarah into the mix. She's super foxy but just as devious as Quinn. As soon as I saw her spying on MC and Sage at the end of ep. 5, I knew she would try to do something nefarious with that info.

Maybe she and Quinn start a jealous quarrel between Bella and Sage (since we have a preview pic of those two facing off in the library). We all know how vengeful Sage can be when someone plays with her toys. The only reason I'm not sold on that idea is Bella isn't really the overtly jealous type. She likes MC but is mature enough to know it's better if he finds someone else his own age.

Bah, on second thought, that sounds really dumb. So scratch all of that...except for the part about Sarah being foxy and devious. :)
Yeah. I almost forgot about that, Kellermann. Sarah's got something going on. I almost got the idea its not nefarious reading that dialogue a few times. I can't tell yet who's side she's on. But...she just seems creepy. She seems up to no good.

Just "re-unzip" a new folder. Boom. Done. It's not software you need to install. It's a zip folder you need to unzip.

That's right, keep an eye on Sarah. She doesn't appear to have any remorse and seems to really enjoy bullying people she views as weak. Unlike Quinn, who occasionally breaks character and flashes sad looks, Sarah never cracks. Side note, her 3d model is amazing. Her eyes and face look so damn realistic that you could swear it's someone you might see in real life. That makes her even more creepy.

Yeah, that sarah and melanie took a pic of sage kissing MC and they talked about "having each other's backs". they ,must be planning something bad with that pics for sure.
I think they will say this to Chad and he will confront MC about it. I also think Sarah and Melanie know about Chad's side chick, If he is not a gay
Is this fanart or what exactly?
I think it is a fanart. Zoey's chapter is over already and she has a boyfriend and is in a long distance from us. She will come only if DPC want to...
