do i have to dw the whole file again for the latest ep 8 or can i just dw the 0.8.2 update?
If you're last version is 7.0 /1 or /2 the update should be enough. (but be sure never to mix normal versions with compressed.)

I'm checking in to let you know it's starting to turn around for the better with the covid.

For the last three days, I've been having intermittent 40C/104F fever, and today it's the first day without fever.

I'm drained of energy, but I feel that I'm getting better. I'll try working again in another day or two.

Before I got sick, I worked on art this week, mainly static renders. The render count for the interlude is close to 700 at the moment.

I have a handful of scenes left to pose renders for, and I have animation work left to do.

I also have coding and GUI design left. I hope I can make more progress this upcoming week.

For the patron milestone celebration, I'll give you the first two pages of the comic book and one art piece from it.

Numbers at last, 700 renders, but there are still many scenes to be posed. Just as he says that many animations are still to be done. And here we have two ways of looking at the situation, the pessimistic one, where we can say that the render count is low for the amount of time that has passed since the release of episode 8 (subtracting 1 week of rest plus a week of covid) or being optimistic and believing that the work just started on January 6-8 when the work was finished due to the release on steam and gog.
I still see end of february/beginning of march as a release date. (which is still much better than my initial idea of April).

700 renders for something small is about equal to an average update in other games

Hoping good recovery for DPC. :coffee:
We finally got some numbers to speculate! In the dark, I over-predicted by the double the actual renders numbers. :BootyTime:
  • At 700 renders, we now have a 11.1 renders/days; -44% from average.
  • Finished animations could be around 30-50 since DPC wants to make longer/complex ones.
  • DPC estimated being "more than half" done with renders; 60-70%. Aiming around 1000 renders.
  • Seems to get closer to the size of EP1.

Yes, it is true, but we must compare against DPC itself, not with others. Anyway the general message is understood, you will never get anywhere else the content that DPC puts in each update.
Seeing the table of mpa71 a little more than half of the work than the first episode and looking at the data from episode two I don't know if it would be very optimistic to say that the interlude could come out in 70-80 days of development with the Covid problem that he has :cry: :(

someone tried the skip mod in the last update? atleast works in the previous episodes?
Sorry for the late reply.
It worked for the 1 to 7th chapter.
It still work with the 8th but you won't have anything skipped in the 8th, it will still work for 1-7 though.
A nice mode to have from the 2nd playthrough onward.
The only pbI have with it, you can't skip the D&G part ... ;)

I love how MC instantly forgets about Jill and drowns in those green eyes once Sage enters the room :whistle:.
Sage is Love, Sage is Life.
And once again DPC approves that Sage is Canon.:cool:
