No matter when the release comes out, I always add an extra week or two to that because I have to account for the fact that I refuse to play the game without the walkthrough mod. I don't even use it for the money cheats or to see multiple paths at once. It's just way too convenient not to have to go back and forth between a normal pdf walkthrough and the game.
Looking at you scrappy. I appreciate you always being on top of that shit as soon as it comes out. You're doing God's work.

I thought so to but I guess not? Either that or I'm just not following the wording.

"One PC renders static renders whenever I'm not using it for work; the PC slaves are all rendering animations."
Assuming DPC hasn't picked up a part-time job someplace, I assume by "work" he means some other game development-related activity, such as posing renders, writing code, writing dialogue, dealing with Steam and GOG issues, talking with prospective (porn?) movie producers, etc. etc.

I always just play them without guides then when a full season finally comes out tidy up the choices with a guide

DPC actually has two other jobs... Not many people know this but DPC is actually a woman. "Doctor" is used interchangeably for males and females you see. By night she works as a french maid cleaning Philly's apartment while giving feedback on city of broken dreamers but by day she works as a Mcdonald's microwave chef

It is a full time thing, he just can't render while doing other things for the game on that specific PC. He has the render farm but we don't know how big exactly it is. (Maybe at least 10 PC for rendering animations only which takes a lot of time).

I don't mind the NTR an ex did it to me in real life

Why would I cry if they did it to a character in a game and I cried a lot at that time
Surely we've covered this before.

When he's not coding/posing, the main machine handles the static renders. Gotta keep all those machines humming!

Somehow I doubt it's that big. If there were ten PCs just for rendering videos the updates wouldn't take half a year, give or take.

:coffee: Updated BigTable™ with the recent informations.
ColdShower!

  • DPC supposedly done about 10 animations that week. Total projection in that range: 275-310-345.
    • Total Animation Time could be: 35-40-45 minutes if we follow the Interlude ratio.
  • With a steady 1.43 A/D. It would take 2.6-3.4-4.2 months to finish that ambition, which is concerning.
    • That would give End September - Mid October - Mid November; just to finish animations.
  • That sudden increase of animations project far beyond exceptional EP8 development time…
    • Meaning at minimum an other 100 Days of development time.
  • Release estimate now as wide as 32 weeks - 38 weeks. Mid October - End November.

(y) Thumb up to well made Casiope DIK Walkthrough.
That three months of development of the Interlude were a totally drag, and now we are paying the consequences. Three and a half months wasted only to deliver half of the content that we can find in Episode 3 with the same time of developement invested. I don't know if DPC needed that break on his schedule to avoid getting burned out, but man, I get the feeling that I'm wating since november.
