I just stumbled across something. Josy said in EP7 so the DIK jacket is so not her size. But she will get a DIK jacket in her size. Tommy hangs it on the wall. How?

Derek has laundry day and washed his jacket. He probably washed it too hot and it shrunk. Then he got a new one and the little old one hangs on the wall.

For Halloween, Josy gets it.:D(y)
Josy killed the look with the MC jacket anyway, and that scene, damn...

Quinn, too, for the same reasons.

My game crashes in chapter 8 after speaking to rusty while he is leaving my room my character says (He must be feeling guilty as hell.) then my game freezes and crashes anyone know any sort of fix or way i can bypas this scene.
Looks like you was using some kind of mods for "mansion restoration game".
Game crashes at some points intentionally - there is traps for modded saves.

I could be an asshole and tell you to go back and read 100 page, but today I'm gonna be generous.
Next update : Friday, 27. 10. 2023. ;)
If DPC keeps putting 50-70 people in scenes and doing 27 movements per one animation, then it may actually be 2023 before we see this damn update. Our beloved dev is turning into a size queen when it comes to updates. Larger, thicker, longer! :oops:

This week I worked on static renders and animations. I have now posed 3253 renders for the episode, and about 180 are in the render queue.

I also posed the longest animation in the episode so far; a ~1 min 19 seconds animation consisting of 27 animations. The longest animation in the game so far has been 30 seconds. Episode 9 will breach that minute mark with three animations.

Making these long animations has felt more like working with cutscenes than standard animation work. It's new to me, and I believe this is the next level for Being a DIK in this area. I can't wait to show you everything!

I'm working on the final free roam event at the moment and I will keep pushing on with the art until I need to write some of the remaining scenes.

I have a scene coming up where I will have to pose more characters than I ever did in a scene before. I haven't counted how many characters there are for this scene yet, but probably somewhere between 50-70.

It's going to be exciting and very demanding work, and also feel like it's going super-slow at times to make a single render. But I know how similar renders in this episode already turned out great, so I know these will too, and that the work is worthwhile.

Have a nice weekend

Good news: we get numbers! Bad news: we get the less important numbers.

Good news first. DPC completed something on the order of 127 static renders this week, bringing his overall average to ~133 statics per week since the Interlude launched. We got no word on animations, so it's difficult to tell where we stand or verify if his overall average is still roughly 8.4 animations/week since the Interlude. Here are the charts as best we can tell:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
The static render rate slowed a bit this week, enough that they're endangering an October release all on their own. I'm not too worried about that, however, since statics can probably be rushed very effectively if they become the bottleneck. But it is an indication of just how much work is left. The animations remain the real worry. Last week they were on pace to complete somewhere around Christmas; admittedly, we knew that pace was unusually slow, but we didn't know just how much slower it was, nor how long the slowdown would last. Unfortunately, we still have no data on that. Without new animation numbers there's not much we can do but hope for the best while preparing for the worst.

Personally, I think it's very unlikely Episode 9 will be released before November. The remaining animation count is high, and when DPC describes the details there are a lot more "very complicated/lengthy animation" anecdotes than there are "knocking out lots of small-but-cool animation" stories. Granted, it's probably cooler to talk about the complex stuff so I accept there's going to be reporting bias, but nonetheless I don't see him averaging the 12+ animations/week (starting last week) that it would take to release before the end of October. So I'm inclined to bet the over.

Either way, let's hope we get some animation numbers next week so we can find our bearings.

I thought about it this way: 3253 are already ready at this moment + 180 more in the queue.
It's hard to say who is right. Either way, you're doing a great job with these graphs.(y)
always86 is correct (and as you say, is also doing a great job). The render queue is made up of statics that have been posed but are waiting for processor time to render. All completed statics have also been posed, but not all posed statics have been rendered when there's a (non-zero) queue. DPC currently has ~3073 renders completed, which is the usual metric we track.

In theory it's also the most important metric since statics will only be added to the game once they're complete. But I'm sure DPC's animation rigs could chew through the static queue in no time if the animations were finished. So in this case the difference between posed and complete statics is moot compared to the number of complete animations - which is currently unknown. :(

So...How about NOOOO to breaking bad with Arieth. Let's visit all the other places where no Dawe has been before.

My favourite part of that whole scene is that before Quinn engages Arieth, she takes a deep breath. She's knows it's going to be hard work trying to discuss something with her. :ROFLMAO:

Apologies for my ignorance, but might I know what game/games these comparisons are coming from? The first and last pairs are not familiar to me.
Strange enough, the first is actually from BaDIK. Bianca is Jill's friend who she has sushi with, and Carolyn is the unofficial name for the unnamed girl who's getting spit-roasted during the dorm party. She's also the girl sitting in the mid-terms not really giving a shit. We've called her Carolyn due to the F95 member Carolyn using her face as his avatar:

And he's right, Carolyn is indeed > Bianca!

I think the last two are from Chasing Sunsets. I wouldn't know, those girls don't interest me... :p

And for the record:

Tanaka > x

Thank you! I'll have to double down on my ignorance and humbly ask which game Tanaka is from. Unless you're talking about Hitomi...

I had completely forgotten about Bianca. I basically speed ran Jill's path just to get a save since I had already played the game how I wanted to once before already.

On a side note, I had always wondered who spit roast chick is. Nice to know she is in the game other than that once scene. Maybe more in the future..?

EDIT: And on a COMPLETELY unrelated note; I really have to thank all of you users who take the time to put game recommendations in their comment footers. Seriously, I have found so many great games that way.

Just played all the way through...I really wish there was complete harem route option as most of the LIs are just too good and hard to choose over the others...and now (maybe?) we have another LI (re)entering with Zoey that will cause more to end up having to get turned down.

The thing that I dislike the most is that some of the side girls can kill a main LI path. Such as you having to friendzone Josy/Maya to get a fling with Jade. Especially since there isn't any connection at all between those paths. I could have understood Cathy ending Bella's, except there ended up being 0 reason for her to have removed and then leave that evidence behind. Then she ends up moving anyways.
