yay, my favorite part of waiting the new content cycle, Charts with ename!Oh my, that was unexpected! We not only learn Episode 9 will contain the much anticipated Halloween party, we also get a full render count! I'm forced to forgive DPC for any Interlude related sins now. Well played, sir.
At any rate, DPC has completed 200 static renders and 8 animations and it's been a week since the Interlude was released. By convention, that gives him a rate of 200 statics and 8 animations per week; obviously we know DPC has been working on them longer than that, but we don't know the details and those numbers are actually not too far out of line with one of DPC's productive weeks, so I'll leave it this way for simplicity. Let's chart 'em!
Hard to say much from one data point, but at least we're underway. Obviously the size of Episode 9 is still to be determined, and we don't know if DPC's art productivity will remain steady (much less his desire to report it), so for now we're stuck with wild speculation. These charts suggest we're on pace to match Episode 8's size somewhere between July (statics) and October (animations). That's not really telling us anything we didn't already know, but at least we're underway.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Personally, I've lost my taste for the Halloween episode and I'd much rather get some hefty character development than a bunch of lewd scenes, but I'm glad we're not dragging out the wait. And DPC's enthusiasm is a good sign. But I'll admit I'm most interested in whatever it is he plans to talk about next week. I just hope it has more numbers!
Why would you want to play the interlude if you haven't played season 1 & 2 is a better question....how do you play the interlude if u dont have any save files or base game installed?
ty for your help in advance <3
Your only option is someone to give you one of their saveshow do you play the interlude if u dont have any save files or base game installed?
ty for your help in advance <3
I had the game but then deleted it once I completed the updateWhy would you want to play the interlude if you haven't played season 1 & 2 is a better question....
If you have your saves of the end of ep 8 (should still be stored even if you deleted the game) and can be used to import into the interlude.
If not you can dl several saves from page 1/extra and import them if you save them in the correct maps.
But seriously, if you haven't played season 1&2 start there, the interlude is basicly an introduction of a character for next episodes and there's no real progress on the main story.
As best to my knowledge cryonics as is the term of deepfreeze and later thaw out and revive does not exist... it's fiction at this moment... BUT if we stick to jokes then : knock yourself out !Oh but I will, worth it. Btw, I have one question: Can I be the new Captain America and freeze myself until the episode is here? No?
Goddamn diarrhea get's out the worst of us... welp this could also mean that not Bella is the axe murderer but Sage the little devil Of course we pick this up later when she's done with her dumpI'm not! Already playing ep9, great story! Sage breaking down that door with an axe was slightly scary, but nothing too serious.
While you are at it please put there some laxatives too... thx !Ah well, next we need to swap the Jocks steroids with estriadol before that competition so no time for hanging around here!
The saves for this game is stored off-site from installation directory.I had the game but then deleted it once I completed the update
Darn, I hope we at least get to pick the MC's costume and maybe our LIs' as well. But it's awesome that the party is confirmed next update and something big is probably gonna happen to kick off the season. I think I'm hypedAside from writing and posing animations, I've been preparing close to 50-60 characters for the episode. There will be some cosmetic polls in the future, but sadly most of the Halloween costumes are planned, so I won't be able to give you the freedom to choose Halloween costumes for many girls, or it would mess up my writing and the episode story.
We don't exactly know why Quinn sells drugs yet, or why she runs the restaurant, but the general theory is that she's doing it to get money to help her dad somehow. There are a lot of details we're missing regarding Quinn, her dad and Burke that makes it impossible to guess what's really going on behind the scenes. So yeah, it's likely not for a stupid reason but we just don't know yet. Stay tuned to the Quinn Channel to find outOne thing, is it known why Quinn sells drugs? I don't remember seeing it in the story and I think it's not for a stupid reason.
edit: or obvious reasons
That table makes me wonder a lot of things and most of 'em i won't say, but one of them is how/why the interlude took that long. Not because i pretend quick releases, i couldn't even if i wanted to since i'm not paying, but because it's pretty stark that comparitevely it's the update that took the longest to make, with a margin.Updated BigTable™ with the recent informations.
TheWaitBegin!
- The Interlude had the same development time and animation duration as Episode 3.
- I added animations duration in the table to better see the work done as DPC tend to assemble them now.
- The Interlude had 52 animations into 36.
- DPC pumping some early interesting rendering ratio. Note that he started to work on it before EPI release.
- Release projection: Early September 2022 (25 weeks) — Mid October 2022 (30 weeks)
- An Halloween release would be surprising cause it would explose the development time to 33 weeks.

Thumb up to well made Casiope DIK Walkthrough.
Perhaps DPC contracting Covid would be one of the factorsThat table makes me wonder a lot of things and most of 'em i won't say, but one of them is how/why the interlude took that long.

I mean, even if he took a 1 month vacation after EP8, and we took that one out for fairness sake, the numbers still wouldn't look all that much better. Maybe what dragged was the writing, dunno. Is interesting.
Well, since she has her make-up (the star) in honor of her father it's likely her father died. Buddy used to be his sidekick but is now running the business and her mother still gets help there from buddy so it's not even unlikely (atleast partly) Quinn is doing it for her. Quinn is very much opposed to cocaine so it might even be her dad had an overdose. And most important Quinn has a good contact with buddy to provide in her own drug abuse so why not sell and have your own for free?We don't exactly know why Quinn sells drugs yet, or why she runs the restaurant, but the general theory is that she's doing it to get money to help her dad somehow. There are a lot of details we're missing regarding Quinn, her dad and Burke that makes it impossible to guess what's really going on behind the scenes. So yeah, it's likely not for a stupid reason but we just don't know yet. Stay tuned to the Quinn Channel to find out
Ah, gotcha.Perhaps DPC contracting Covid would be one of the factors
Another factor that DPC was working on the Steam version after episode 8
And GOG and taking care of business...DPC was working on the Steam version after episode 8
The GOG version is the same as the Patreon version he just did copy and paste thanks to the loving ANTI-DRMAnd GOG and taking care of business...
If Phil weren't Canadian I would support this theory.Ah, gotcha.
Didn't City of Broken Dreamers' dev also get covid? My tinfoil theory that they're the same person, based on nothing more than their releases usually being close, getting some traction
Not the difference between the P - G but that it goes for sale !The GOG version is the same as the Patreon version he just did copy and paste thanks to the loving ANTI-DRM
If Phil weren't Canadian I would support this theory.
Bella will still stay on top of the axe-murderer list.. Ok, no fire this time but still plenty of drama to come. Because DPC.Goddamn diarrhea get's out the worst of us... welp this could also mean that not Bella is the axe murderer but Sage the little devil Of course we pick this up later when she's done with her dump
I miss the gore and the details of it Otherwise not half bad...Bella will still stay on top of the axe-murderer list.. Ok, no fire this time but still plenty of drama to come. Because DPC.
My theory is that if you have chosen Bella as the love of your life, the return of DIK Zoey (you didn't want to play the InterLube and a DIK Zoey is the default) will lead to tragedy.
Bella doesn't like a cocky DIK Smurf chasing her Fuckface at all, sooo...
End of Zoey...
Bella orders Chick Fuckface to clean the axe and hide the butchered corpse in the locked room with the other corpses.
Fuckface cleans the axe it after a mini game re-painting the fence (blood stains).
It all fits in quite nicely I think
Leave the details toI miss the gore and the details of it Otherwise not half bad...
