You can expect an update that will give you plenty of content regardless of how you choose to play. There is plenty of branching in this episode, and once you start to play the update in different ways, you'll discover its layers.

I'm extremely proud of the work I've put into this, and I can't wait to release it.

I have a lot to test given the new features I've produced for this update and the complexity of the branching storylines.

I don't intend to rush this important part of development, but I'm sure that beta tests will start sometime in April.

This status update will be the final one before release.

As soon as I know more, I will post notifications when beta testing has started, a preliminary changelog, and a release date announcement when I'm positive that I can deliver to a certain date.

Testing will get the time that's needed without any stress. Bear with me and my testers for the final stretch, and the update will be here before you know it.

Damn, I was hoping for the update to be dropped next week, but I'm still hopeful for April 9th. But judging from what was said, April 16th sounds more plausible.

I get being optimistic but how do you come up with April 16th release? DPC said he is not going to rush this important part of development and that beta testing will start sometime in April, let's say between 9-16 and this will probably take around 2 weeks so this is either releasing very late April or early May

It doesn't have to be a full blown violent penetrating rape. Statistically it's something like 1 in 6 women have suffered some form of sexual assault. Most women that I personally know who have endured something like that are relatively well adjusted (I don't know of anyone who's actually been all-out raped, but plenty who've been assaulted, and not by me... Warscared probably knows more... :oops:).

It was just a thought in my case too, I don't really expect the game to go down that path.
i know the literature and i know the studies and i had friends who worked for facebook and other social media, who filtered videos of that stuff! lets just say that the fantasy and the real thing are totally different! the fantasy is arousing but the real thing sends chills down your spine and the only thing it arouses in you is a blind anger to beat down the assholes who can do that and it takes days or sometimes weeks for the anger and the aggression to subside! its a very unpleasant thing to witness and anyone who went trough that should look for professional help and ventilate that shit before it gets stale and rots your soul from the inside!

that being said only half of true rapes are reported and the victims suffer in silence in regards to women! only 1/10 to 1/5 of male rapes are reported probably even less if the rapist is a woman on a men rape and yes those also exist!

now i make a clear distinction between a real rape and all other rapes like the famous regret rape where women interact willingly and in the end when the result is not the expected they claim rape, its considered rape if the nice doctor she dated last week is only a coffee barista, its considered rape if she agree to group sex and that gets leaked out, its considered rape if she fucked a dude that does not want to date her or be her boyfriend... and so forth and so forth and so forth! if nothing else works modern feminists claim rape and they get their way... most of the times!

90% of rape accusations are done for vapid reasons such as revenge or attention and that is why many feminist groups use the social media accusations that never get a police report to reach the data that only 3% of rapes reach court... and even those 3% they have to use statistical misdirection or just plain lies! weirdly if they included male rapes they could reach that number easily because prison life is harsh! furthermore their studies always conflate sexual harassment sexual aggression and rape! grabbing a boob or stealing a kiss is a sexual aggression but not rape!

not that its not a serious thing, after life deprivation that is the worst attack that can happen against any individual and me being a liberal anything that attacks peoples freedom is an unforgivable sin!

i have an example that i witnessed where a girl accused a friend of mine of rape, he might have he is that kind of person! he proposed to her and she accepted! i no longer spend time with that asshole but the doubt still lingers... did he or did he not? women are weird that way!

as for virgin there are 2 debates there! there is the physical debate of the broken hymen, and then there is the emotional connection debate, i do not consider a virgin if she already had a meaningful emotional connection even if they sticked with oral and anal and never went "all the way" the relationship and emotions where already used and that particularity of the hymen is just a detail!

basically depends on your values, i know a few radicals who believe that women are still virgins until they give birth so... there you go!

if Jill seems particularly sensitive to the issue of bullying then she can certainly participate in any awareness campaign possible (from the environment, to alcoholism, to testicular cancer) but that it is about bullying remains the easiest solution.

in Jill's past there has already been a big drama that we know nothing about, the death of her sister, why give her another one?
she became a victim of bullying because she went reclusive after her sisters death and kids especially if she went on a high class all girls school can be extremely cruel!
I had a cousin in one such schools and let me tell you its hell! i had to move for a month to Lisbon and pick her up from school for 1 entire month before she opened up and i talked to her bullies parents to get that shit fixed! Men are neither equipped nor do we have the ability to deal with how women bully others!
"Family.
My dad once told me that family is more than blood relations.
Being related doesn't nessairly make you family.
Family are the people who support you in your choices.
family will help you grow.
family doesn't give up on you in times of need.
Family are the ones who love you for you...
...whoever they may be.
Even if you loose your family...
...or if your family loses you.
Don't stop.
Find new ones to love and somewhere else to call home."
that is why i have my theory that the MC is not Neil son but Stephen son! in an almost comical karma thing where if you go around fucking everything that moves your children will pay the price by either fucking their sisters and brothers or you being forced to come clean to avoid such mistakes!
Nah. It ain't that trope. Look at the mouth. Unless her trauma was surviving a car accident and being surgically rebuilt (and that's why they bullied her for some reason), there's no way that's Jill. The woman in that pic is beautiful, and it doesn't look like somebody attacked all of her teeth to round off the corners. They're clean, sharp, and well spaced, and she has a great smile. Nothing about her screams 'goblinoid'. Look, she even knows how to do her makeup.

There's just no way that's Jill. The angle is such that it feels like I might be looking up at a giantess, though, so I'm absolutely willing to believe it's a flashback and it's Jill's sister, much as I'd prefer this model be a living modern character the MC could meet. (and meat).
that is interesting if she was present when her sister died in a car accident or odded while babysitting Jill! in the picture her hairstyle already shows a rebellious streak if it was Jill sister and mother! could be a nice drama adding into the story!

but if it was a car accident they would never give her a car without a driver! so drug abuse while babysitting?
It's Friday boys, let's hope for news that testing begins tomorrow and we can get the release on 2nd of April (really doubtful about that) or 9th of April the latest.
its going to be an April 1st release! and on April 2nd they will be saying trolled!

This is what I was afraid of when planning my off-time activities and listed them off a while back. The update's gonna stretch into May.

.... Fuck, I don't have that much content to burn through, unless Outriders can hook me up for longer than its campaign.

What we need is a neurolyzer. Beam the knowledge of this game out of our minds, forget F95 even exists, set up a scheduled email before doing that to 2 years later, so we can play 4-5 new episodes at once. If 6 months becomes norm.... Fuuuuck.

This week I worked on the checklist from last week, doing bits of everything.

I focused on mini-games, phone content, and music.

Next week I will try to finish all writing and as much of the art left to pose as possible. Now that I have written more, I feel that there's less art left to pose than my previous estimation.

I will also start playtesting and polishing next week.

I estimate that I'm 90% complete with the update.

I'm pushing hard to produce what's left.

Excuse me for the shorter status updates that will come before release.

They don't mean that I work less; they mean that work is more focused and that we're getting closer to a release.

Let's start with the bad news first: there are no numbers here! No word on the static render count, or an overall completion percentage, or even confirmation of the final animation tally. We don't even get a patented DPC random factoid to sink our teeth into. There's really nothing to chart, so I'll just post the previous charts once more for old time's sake.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Still, the rest of the news is good; we're clearly in the final stretch now. DPC says that beta testing will start sometime in April; beta testing usually takes 1-2 weeks, which give us a target between April 9 and May 14. But he also said he would start on the final list in a few days, and frankly I don't think the list will take too long. Combine that with his assurance that the release would be out "before you know it" and I get the strong feeling he expects beta testing to start in early April, not late. All of which means our previous release target of April 16 +/- one week still seems pretty valid.

In the meantime, Episode 7 definitely sounds interesting. Branching should make for a lot of replayability, and I find it quite fun - as long as the reasons for the branching make sense. I've found most of the branching options thus far work pretty well, so I'm going to be optimistic here.

So you think this game going through 2027 is a good idea ?
I admit that my life is not the most interesting and best life :) , but definitely not revolve around a porn game, it might be possible that I won't live long enough to even see the finished product, never know. :ROFLMAO:.
but yes , if it's mean I get a proper well finished developed game by the end, then yes , it will worth it. :cool:
and I'm pretty sure there are lots of peoples that now wish Cyberpunk 2077 would have been delayed more in exchange for a better game :ROFLMAO:

It doesn't matter waht we think. This style of art, is literally defined by its payment system. We are patrons of the artist, we provide and he does his art.

Before art became so commercialized, this was common, art was produced by the artist, not by businessmen who shaped everything from its time frame to its content.

If you want bland, derivative 'art' thats delivered quick and dirty, plenty of porn films are coming out every year. This sort of thing is a whole different beast.

Theoretically, let’s accept that beta testing will begin on April 1st or 2nd. It usually lasts somewhere between 10-14 days, if everything goes smoothly. So the April 16th release date sounds plausible.

What worries me is that if something unexpected comes up, we might get a late April or an early May release.

So again, I think it's likely Jill is a virgin. But I see no reason to flat out dismiss the possibility that she isn't. Then again, unless the game makes a big deal out the reveal (in either direction) I also don't think matters much: it doesn't really affect my view of Jill.
Her virginity in itself could be a "big deal" because how think how important and special that moment can be for people. Jill is someone for whom this would represent a great level of trust in the person she's doing it with but also a great level of feeling for them. This, for her, could certainly mean the start of a meaningful relationship, but if you're someone who's been pursuing others and continue to do so after this stage of a relationship with Jill, it could have devastating emotional consequences for Jill, and maybe that's the point; to make you feel like shit for breaking her heart.

Just seems weird to me that an attractive, third year college woman would be a virgin. It's not impossible but seems unlikely and again.... kinda weird to me.
She's clearly a very reserved and somewhat sheltered person with old-fashioned views on dating, relationships, and sex.

I don't think it's that surprising when you look at it like that.

Just as i thought, this is definitely not releasing on April. Now i'm seriously hoping 6+ months won't become the norm for the upcoming episodes
DPC always says that they set aside 2 weeks for testing and it's always done in less than 2 weeks. This will release in April.

Theoretically, let’s accept that beta testing will begin on April 1st or 2nd. It usually lasts somewhere between 10-14 days, if everything goes smoothly. So the April 16th release date sounds plausible.

What worries me is that if something unexpected comes up, we might get a late April or an early May release.
DPC does so much testing on their own before giving it out to the beta testers that this probably mitigates a lot of potential issues, that's why beta testing always takes less time than DPC assigns for it.

I understand your point and everyone has different things to look forward to other than a porn game or VN whatever you want to call it. I doubt anyones life revolves around a porn game but i'm just thinking how hard it would be to keep the audiences attention for 7-8 years unless he goes latin soap opera, i'm not complaining about why is he taking so long but just wish he would tidy it up a bit.

He added a new big free roam, new mini game, new phone features and whatnot combine that with branching that's apparently going to happen this episode...That's why i'm saying beta might just take 2 weeks and not the usual 7 days.

Yes but with branching, new features and whatnot i just mentioned above this might take longer. But DPC saying it would be out "before you know it" gives me a bit more hope

How does any of that change if Jill isn't a virgin? If anything, her having tried sex once and sworn it off should show an even greater level of trust in the MC if she's giving him a shot now.

Yes, the first time having sex is a major milestone in a person's life and it is obviously a significant shared event between two people. But there are plenty of milestones for the girls we will never see personally, and I'd argue any non-casual sex is significant shared event in and of itself. Why can sex be meaningful and significant for Jill only if it's her first time?

I'll second everyone on here saying that I hope that Episode 7 is very Sage-centric.

I love these little moments that MC and Sage have had so far, and hopefully Ep. 7 will be a whole episode of these.
Its about time MC and Sage actually be a thing, its also needed for story coz if sage is leaving school while being a fuck buddy will not be as impactful as she being our GF

Well, there are plenty of games that keep their audience for years. Many MMorpgs, or other games, I play Overwatch 5 years now. and almost every game take years to develop 5-7. or more. I'm not talking about EA who puts out a new Fifa in every year obviously :ROFLMAO:
The difference here is, We part of the development process. We real time experiencing it, even founding it. Surely he could put out a 3% updated, in every 2-3 week like NTL doing it With ToN . But personally I prefer a more meaty update , for me personally there is two time window when the waiting is harder than usual.
1, Right after I finished an update, a New episode. I immediately want to play the next one, this take usually 2-3 week to calm down.
2, When we are in the finish line. When we get the news of him being 80% completed and etc, then yes the waiting, just like the waiting before xmas it's getting harder and harder. as of it right now. We are right now on that phase:ROFLMAO:

Remaining as FWB could actually be more impactful than them being an official item. Considering what she went through with Chad, the apparent years of pining and chasing after him only to be dumped so casually by him, and the fact that she'll be graduating at the end of this academic year, she may convince herself that she doesn't want another proper relationship right now. Any relationship she has may only be temporary since there's a good chance that, after graduation, she'll move far away from B&R and so she may not want to put herself through that; catching feelings for someone only to have it end when she leaves.

However, just because she might not want to catch feelings doesn't mean she won't, and so her relationship with the MC could become one where she's fighting between these 2 sides of herself, the one that wants a relationship with him and the one that doesn't because she feels it won't last. This could create quite a bit of drama in their relationship with Sage showing signs of jealousy towards the MC being with other girls thus causing the occasional friction between the two, until eventually Sage confesses her feelings near the end and the MC has to choose whether to accept them or not.

As was to be expected, the longer we go on, the more we will have huge episodes that will need more plays to be fully seen.

after the first big division between inside and outside the trouple now we add the division between who chose Jill or Sage (plus many other minor ones)


the hope is that technical progress will balance this growth in content, otherwise we'll go over 5 months between episodes
