You do, but how are you plan to play after skipping like whole game? And for what? Only to play Interlude? It's damn ingenious.

Updated BigTable™ with the recent informations.BumpyRoad!
- With last numbers being 3 weeks ago, Renders had +316 and Animations had around +11.
- Which is underwhelming as the Renders/Days fall behind EP8, let's hope the big animations finish help.
- As Renders been pushed from around 4000 to around 4650, target progress been slowed.
- Renders Progress: 73% > 78% | Animations Progress: 62% > 67% ; DPC estimate close to mine.
- Historically, with 16 Preview we tie previous EP8 record; 2 to 5 more Rooster possible.
- Release Estimate: 34 weeks. Very End of October.

Give it a try before blindly writing it off, you might get surprised.
The early episodes naturally won't be as impressive, being few years old. But the game has very high production values in general. There's also very little point in skipping what's literally all of the game at the moment, you'll have zero idea about characters involved, this way.
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
He is actually done with programming.
Also, after 10/31/22, November 2022 begins, so I don't think we should quibble over one day.

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

so this update is coming 2023 halloween?You must be registered to see the links
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
So let's hope it arrives by Halloween 2023
It's mind boggling how it took 15 weeks to develop the smallest update ever, whereas the biggest update released to date took him 30 weeks.
This is milking pure and simple, next update will take a whole year.

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

As always these numbers are based on confirmed completed (I don't count posed stills or animations, only rendered). Stills look like this.
Animations look like this.
In fairness animations are very tricky to judge as he seems to be counting longer animations as 1 which means if he has lots of short ones the average could shoot up. If he has lot's of long ones the average could continue to be low.
Now for some forcasting. At current averages stills should reach his target around week 35 or 36 (28th October - 4th November). Plus a couple of weeks beta testing that means if it were just these we were waiting for we could see release 18th-24th November. However we also need animations...

At current averages he won't hit his animations target until the week of December 9th (Development week 41)...

This is the current averages compared to the completion averages on Episode 8.
| Week | Total | Average |
27 | 3569 | 132.1851852 |
27 | 201 | 7.444444444 |
28 | 4158 | 148.5 |
27 | 358 | 13.25925926 |
The reason I mention these is that if he could reach similar averages again for the remainder of development things would get done much earlier.

As seen in the forecast based on episode 8 he could be done with both stills and animations around week 35 or the 28th of October leaving a November release on the table. I think it will probably be somewhere between the two meaning most likely an early December release.

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.

Yeah, me neither.But just to put this in to a little context, The complete version of Acting Lessons
" The complete game consists of >5000 renders, 217 animations, 61 songs and 30 sound effects. "
- I mean come on, this is one episode, one. Crazy
Can't do it on Patreon anymore, so I'm afraid you guys have to suffer. xD
