No idea. But I once wrote a theory that makes this possible.
If dalli_x will sometimes start an own AVN it will be sure the most successful one on Patreon, using all his theories will make your brain melt like using drugs while playing. But i'm afraid it would be stopped by the CIA cause they want to use it for their own good treating their prisoners ("if you don't confess, you have to play another chapter"). ;)

So to summarize, the longer-than-expected development time can be attributed to:
  • the music needing to be removed from the game
  • covid
  • itch.io thing
  • the animations/renders taking longer to render which is still being debated about whether that made a difference (personally, I think it's up in the air since we haven't really seen improved numbers since the "longest animation yet")
I'm just trying to get the facts straight because I just have a feeling that episodes being released once a year isn't going to be the future trend and think it had more to do with unexpected circumstances.
There's one last thing but I can't remember it too well and I'm not sure if it's just something he always did during development or whether it affected things at all. Something about getting Steam and other platforms ready for Season 3 which I always thought he did in post-production after it'd been released on Patreon. Not releasing the GAME but taking care of whatever needs to be done so it CAN be released on Steam, etc. as well. I thought he would usually do both of those things (getting things ready for Steam, etc and then releasing the game on those platforms) after the release on Patreon.
I know I'm not making much sense. I'm just not familiar with how that goes and can only vaguely remember what one of his weekly updates said about it a couple of months ago.
Yes, the Steam (and other platform) release will have contributed to their only being one major update in a year. After he completes a season of 4 episodes he does the other platform releases. This takes some extra work as the Steam release apparently needs some extra programming. He also did interlude, as a small story release it didn’t have nearly as much content as a full episode and it didn’t come out until March 4th I think (may have been the week before I forget). Steam was released Jan 6th, episode 8 had come out on November 19th. I think he was working on Interlude at the same time as Steam. Either way those two thing slowed things down.

We will see, of course. Elena's flirting (if that's the right word for it) seems to have escalated and JB clearly enjoys showing her off. He also said they had a threesome with Arieth. I suspect they have had other threesomes, too.

I don't get the NTR freakout, as it strikes me as incel mentality, but to each his own. It's just that Elena is clearly JB's girl. Seeing her naked and flirting with her doesn't change that. If she and JB invite us to join them for a threesome, we can choose to do it or not. I have no interest in crossing swords with JB, let alone seeing his O face, but Elena is cute and I feel like they would appreciate the MC's involvement. Exhibitionism and public sex are clearly kinks they share. Time will tell how far that goes.
Why not. For people who are into it why not? If its an optional path. Really i would really like if there was NTR and Bestiality path but you not be forced to play it. The game would still be the same for you based on what dialogue you picked.

Almost everyone one im sorry but the point still stands. Adding MMF threesome to the game would just improve it. Really people who dont want NTR/MMF in the game have no really good arguments why.
Josy tells Maya that she thinks that almost every HOT has had threesomes.

We've already witnessed at 2 MMF threesomes: Derek-Jacob-Arieth and Jamie-Leon-Arieth... well, Arieth is Arieth, though.

Yes, he was. I'd add that he said that he started working on episode 9 while he was working on the Interlude, anyway.

The point is that episodes get bigger and bigger and bigger because he keeps adding stuff (sometimes unnecessary stuff) - and I honestly think that this isn't good.

Sadly I don´t think there is zero chance of DPC pissing off most of the players, since he has done that in Acting Lessons and in BADIK. That´s the main reason I play this game pirated and not buy it in GOG or something. There are things that I love of this game (several characters, the music, some scenes...) and other things I don´t like at all, and I don´t trust in DPC. I play every scene thinking "let´s see what kind of trap is setting this guy here to the player, or what character is going to ruin now".

Yeah, several characters are whores, and that invalides them to something more than fucking. The story of "Quinn´s restaurant" seems far fetched to me, I don´t like it at all, and it´s stupid that she offers her "services" to the MC, and if the MC don´t accept, he just ignores it and doesn´t mention it any more... It doesn´t make any sense. Quinn and the others could just deal with weed and other drugs and the story would be more realistic and probably the same. I´m sure there would be another way of involving Bourke in the plot with Quinn. Lily asking money to the MC in the party of the preps for fucking is the best way to crap in a great character. In general, that thing of some characters being whores without a good reason is not something well writing, IMO.

A girl that says to his straight boyfriend "I want to be with another guy" literally is telling that guy that he´s not enough for her, at least at bed. If you and your friends here that gives you the "likes" are OK with that, it´s OK. But being a "vanilla baby" (it´s an insulting term, I just don´t care about what you and your friends think about me) I would not like an scene of the MC wanking off like a monkey while Tommy fucks Sage, for example. Again, if that´s what turns on you and your friends, great for you and them. The scene of Sage, Quinn and the MC is different because Sage apparently gets turned on by fucking with a girl too, and enjoys playing with Quinn the same way the MC. But, if suddenly DPC makes Sage a lesbian like Maya and the MC is forced to share her with Quinn or something, again, I hope he adds the option of "forgetting about Sage for good". Actually, for me, it would be "forgetting about BADIK for good".

A fantasy is nothing if its just something to think about when masturbates. If someone wants to actually make true a fantasy, then that´s something. And can be something that, in real life, destroys a relationship. In a game, I just don´t want to see contents that I don´t like, and I don´t like more cocks that necessaries if I play as a male character, and I don´t like to play as character that is a cuck or a loser in any form. That´s not funny, it´s not my kink and I think most of the people think like me. "Vanilla babies" for you, "open minded chad", or whatever you think you are.

About Bella, the one that could be mad would be Bella´s husband. Apparently his wife right now prefers a 19 years old student to him. And Jill is not a gobling, just a boring character.

I get that this is a romance game but there is no reason not to add a SCAT path for people who want it. Everyone would like to see Sage poop on the MC or Zoey scat with Josy. :Kappa:
Hey buddy.... just letting you know you wrote what you were actually thinking.... :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

That's seriously underestimating Dalli_x

I eagerly expect speculation on who is the person she's texting with, as well as the content of messages.
Yes, well..... someone predicted this already....

also he makes more money the longer this game takes to finish, this is common knowledge to all of us and DPC himself. he has no reason to speed this gravy train along any faster, and he produces work of a high enough quality that he wont seriously be considered to be milking it from his patrons.
He has no reason to slow it down either, considering it'll take him literal years to finish production as it is. Stretching it out he runs into a risk he'll lose some of the current backers, who won't be willing to put up with longer delivery times.

You already have that option, it's called the Others path.
Maya/Josy: They're gonna split up putting the MC in an awkward position or being forced to choose...
Sage: Tybalt is going to claim you bullied him and Jade could cause trouble...
Bella: Gonna lose her job when finally busted, PTSD, husband troubles, Jill knows... :WutFace:
Jill: Will dump you if you disagree with her once or go to the Halloween party... :KEK:

Now we have the scenario that when the MC takes care of the sick Sage, Jill's path is actually completed. However, since Isabella's opinion of Sage has changed, it could happen that Jill, Isabella and Sage meet for a glass of wine. This could lead to Jill learning from Sage personally that the MC only took care of her when she was sick. This could change Jill's attitude.
Or Sage blurting out (hey, it's just us girls here, right?)....

"Yeah, I totally fucked his brains out! And let me tell you girls, he ...is ...MASSIVE"..... :::Sage, looking directly at Bella with a shush finger:::: "He took care of business...big time!" :::Sage winks and takes another swig of Bella's wine::::

Regardless, here's proof of concept.

Josy has both a proper first name and a nick name being "Josephine" and "Josy" respectfully. Let's change that shit. SanchoCheats/select alt character renaming/done. Everything is changed... all references to the alt character including other character's referencing her, her stats (in the mod), etc.
If you want to change later, do it anytime... or press the "Reset" button and all goes back to original as if nothing ever happened. Pretty fucking cool, ain't it? Yeah, I think so too. What else would you expect from SanchoMod? (no, the SanchoMetaVerse is not ready to deploy yet). Regards.
For SanchoMod's Interlude core mod maintenance update I'm throwing in all the features from the recent v0.8.3 update since I believe the Interlude VN will be the base of Ep9+ so I'm putting most of the bells and whistles in (I'm leaving out a few until I can asses Ep9 for integrity). This includes the new alt character renaming concept and in this case it'll be Zoey as I used Josy in the replied post for v0.8.3. Here's some teasers while I'm putting last minute polish on this latest maintenance update to go live:

I doubt it is most of the players. It's possible that a majority of people don't want that content, but I think it's unlikely that a majority would be 'pissed off' about it. That said I don't have those statistics and neither do you so let's leave that point to one side for a moment. I think if DPC thought a story idea revolving around a MMF threesome was necessary for a characters development, he would do it without concern for the audience. That said because of the vocal contingent such as yourself, I think there is no chance of him doing it with one of the main 5 LIs. (Possible it will happen with Quinn, Heather, Elena or the side characters)

I hate to break it to you, but lots of women do sex work to pay thier way through school. I'd imagine it's more likely for a girl to work as a hooker, or stripper to pay her school fees than it is for them to deal drugs. Sex work is legal in a lot of countries to some degree, while dealing drugs is illegal pretty much everywhere. That said I do think the way it's presented in the game is a bit silly. It would have made more sense if it was something that the player uncovered rather than got propositioned with. BUUUUTTTT if DPC had hidden it and players found out later on that the character they liked worked as a hooker (certain) people would have complained, so what's the solution so that people can't complain? Make it clear from day one, these girls do sex work.

If a man says to thier girlfriend I have a fantasy about having a threesome with you and another girl are they saying to her she isn't enough for them? No. They're saying I have a fantasy. The problem with your position is that you're annoyed because you feel like you are being called a 'vanilla baby' which was in no way directed at you personally, but in defending why that isn't a fair descriptor of your position you are saying any man who's opinion differs from you isn't 'man enough'. I understand why in reality if a girlfriend said it to you. I don't think i'd be upset about it, but I also don't know if i'd go ahead with it either. But we're not talking about real life we're talking about fictional chracters in a fictional world, so why not embrace the fantasy?

When someone says a threesome I don't know why your mind immediatly goes to jerking off in the corner while watching someone else rail you girl. I'm very much talking about spit roasting Eiffel towers and DPs and a lovely double facial to end. I think it is even less likely than a MMF threesome that DPC will do a scene of the MC sitting in the corner J-ing his D. Again I come back to the point, why is it okay to for a LI to want a threesome with a girl but if it's a guy suddenly the MC can't satisfy her? Why wouldn't you take her asking for an extra girl to join in make you presume the MC wasn't satisfying her? I don't really understand why you would imagine a scenario, in a vanilla porn game, that after a threesome the love interest is going to run off with the other partner.

I do think I'm open minded. Though certainly not a chad. I understand that people have preferences that are different to my own. I also don't complain when those fetishes are in a game, I either skip them or play through them for the sake of it. I might even come on here and say I didn't enjoy X scene because sex act Y isn't my thing. But I wouldn't expect the content to be excluded because I don't like it. My preference would be that it is skippable, and if it not skippable and there is lots of it I wouldn't play the game.

My point about Bella is that she is in love with another man. I'd personally rather the girl I liked be interested in trying a MMF threesome for fun, than know that there was always going to be this other guy that I had to share part of her heart with.

To be fair, he is talking about situation where a person in relationship tells their partner they *want* to be with another, not that they *fantasize* about it. Fantasies are one thing, actual requests to turn fantasies into reality are quite something else.

That said, yes, for some people even hearing that their partner has fantasies along these lines will be a sign they find their current situation (and partner) not entirely sufficient/capable to satisfy them fully.

Possibly, but the example I gave in the original post was was a character sharing a fantasy, and the MC getting to choose how it progressed. An avoidable scenario where it is just a fantasy, until it isn't.

If Sage for example said "I have a fantasy about fucking two guys at once." and MC has the choice to say either "Eugh gross" or "Who do you have in mind?" I don't really see a problem. If you aren't into that sort of thing then you can skip it and if you are you can enjoy it.
I understand that some people might find that difficult to deal with in real life. I personally find a partner with sexual desires and fantasies fun. I would also add that while I know people will say 'I am self inserting' it is important to remember this is only a relatively well written porn game, and no one should get to worked up about the sexual antics going on within.

I've probably cost myself a lot of content, but when Jill goes to the Admin behind MC's back is the moment Jill is written off as a potential LI in my MC's eyes. I would have liked something a bit stronger than `I don't think I am right for you', however. Something such as `I am not interested in you' would work, but whatever.

I am most interested in seeing more layers peeled back from the onion that is Quinn. Little miss "I don't do sleepovers" has a soft side and MC has brought it out a couple of times probably without realizing it.
