Give it a try before blindly writing it off, you might get surprised.
Its not blind, I played #1 a long time ago. I'm not asking you to hand over your children for sacrifice, I just wanted to start on #3 of a porn game. Sue me
I just don't see the point, since staring on #3 of a porn game you're basically skipping porn :vIts not blind, I played #1 a long time ago. I'm not asking you to hand over your children for sacrifice, I just wanted to start on #3 of a porn game. Sue me
You can guess. But the fact will be that as soon as the animations are done, he will put his remaining static renders into a queue on his power machine, which otherwise renders the Animations. This will speed up the work enormously.Everything will depend on the speed of work with renders, I don't think it's realistic to exceed the average of 200 renders per week. 4000 renders were originally planned, but there will be 4600. This will be the largest episode of all.
The animations are still covered in the fog of war. How complex will the remaining animations be? I'd like to be optimistic about October, but we're still have a beta testing. So November became real. Sadly, but I know one thing - for the sake of this game, the wait is worth it.
Hyped for Ep9

Here's an attempt at a status update to give you some stats as I wanted for Friday.
Work completed:
Work that remains:
- 3652 renders (3569 produced and 83 in the render queue)
- 211 animations (201 animations produced, 10 in the render queue)
- 22 songs
Overall completion:
- 8 scenes left to write
- 50 scenes left to pose art for (~1000 more static renders)
- 3-4 lewd scenes to make animations for (<100 animations)
- Make some missing GUI for the new mini-game.
- Write some code needed for other mini-games.
- Add music (almost done)
- Add SFX (almost done)
- Rooster (90% done)
- Other phone content (Phone chats/Calls, Bios, Stats, Pack Quest, Vault)
- Collectibles (special renders/2D art/scenes) - Only testing remains
- Playtest and polish
- Verify bug fixes from the Interlude.
My best shot at estimating a completion % right now is:
Static renders: 79%
Animations: 70% (based on animation count, not duration. The longest animations are almost done, so this number should increase faster from now on.)
Writing/Coding: 95%
Render and animation numbers are based on a target of ~4652 renders and 300 animations; subject to change if needed.
The writing/coding percentage is my gut feeling.
Further insight:
Lately, I've done most of Rooster, the main menu art, Jill's special render set, and placement of magazines/unlockables. These tasks require a lot from me, and I'm happy I'm close to done with all of them.
Long animations have been rendering for the last month, and I haven't been animating a lot which is why this count isn't much bigger than the last report I did.
The longest animation I've done to date has almost been completely rendered. It's currently 1 minute 16 seconds (2281 renders) long. It needs a few more hundreds of renders before PCs are freed up for other animations; this should happen before next Friday.
Threesome animations are still in the render queue and have been there for the last two months. They take a very long time to render but are worth it.
I will have a split focus on renders and animations in the upcoming weeks.
I hope you had a nice weekend! I'm still a bit tired, but I've rested and am fit to work again.
Thanks again for your amazing support. I couldn't ask for a better community.

The longer we wait, the more it will be worth it, right?remember when we hoped we'd get the halloween party episode for last year's haloween? what if we don't get it for this one either?
we get some more party planning in november, another filler episode in spring and wait until october 2023 for it
Listen to this guy 800k is "just fine"...Jesus H
Yeah, again, I understand how, as a victim of end-stage-capitalism, you would think it's all about the money. But again, not how musician's think. I don't recall anything about him contacting them before he started the game - it was just a creative commons license. And, DPC explicitly said it was that they didn't want to be associated with the game. No need to over complicate things.
I think as most of us feared things seem very beind previous episodes. I appreciate last week will have slowed things down, but in general the progress for this episode has trailed well beind what has come before.You must be registered to see the links

If i remember right, DPC only said they refused the request for songs to remain in the game, after it turned out the CC license was a mistake on the band's part. Any actual reasons for that refusal are pure guesswork and not something DPC said.
Thinking of my formula, IQ(low) goes down some last posts to 70, which will mean we get 36 weeks and a November release.
Remember, when DPC said, he tries to not make the episodes to big in the future ?You must be registered to see the links

Yeah, me neither.Can't do it on Patreon anymore, so I'm afraid you guys have to suffer. xD
In this case, we have big problems. Too many low IQ peopleThinking of my formula, IQ(low) goes down some last posts to 70, which will mean we get 36 weeks and a November release.
Intrigued to know what the long animation/cutscene is. It's taking up a lot of resources, that's for sure, so I hope it ends up being worth it.
Everyone anticipates it to be lewd, watch it be the episode ending in cinematic form, instead.
