Oh yeah... a dead body... well, a special dead body, one that doesnt smell after 3 years behind a door. Oo (even mummies smell, and believe me, they smell so bad no door can hide that smell ever)

Its most likely a memento-shrine/room filled with things of her husband that will reveal what might happend to him and why he is out of the picture, but Bella is denying the "reality" and has kind of a psychological illness.
Im shooting for a nursery of some sort.

so far he jumped into prduction immediatly everytime, why do you think he will not do that this time?

Most likely the animation queue is running (more like never stopped), just like last time when he did several animations even BEFORe episode 10 was released. And besides... he already mentioned in several DEV reports that he was already working beforehand in advance on epsiode 12. This and that, nothing particular... but yeah...

There are many things DPC can be blamed for, but not that he isnt working nearly every day on the game. He doesnt reeally make vacations, or has days off, this year a dear loved one died and he didnt really slowed down... its just that, he cant hold back and is stuffing every new episode with even more unnessesary stuff, so the DEV cycle increases and increases...

Most likely the next DEv report (every friday) will be a "report" about the overall release and how it went, and when the official walkthrough can be expected (usally about 3 weeks after the release of an episode), and MAYBE the status of the animation queue which most likely never stopped. He was doing renders and animations in advance for episode 12 already... and some other stuff too.

Maybe he will talk about Hardware upgrades too? But i dont think so... he might have that on his mind, but RTX5090 is hard to come by and not that big of an upgrade compared to RTX4090 (which isnt available either, so no new render slave either) in the regard of rendering... so, no new hardware at the moment i guess.

Yeah basically... rundwon how pleased he was with the release, when to expect the walkthrough, and maybe something like "and the animation queue is already running" Not much more... but the work on episode 12 already began weeks ago.
This is the one I'm concerned about most. We all know a hardware update means faster renders, which means idle PCs. He hates that. He really needs to get over that or we be heading towards pointless 4k renders
I wouldn't worry about the RTX 5090 for a while. Daz doesn't work with the 5000 series cards, and can't work until the next full version of Daz due to some backend changes in the coding used for iray. And that could be months or years until we get Daz 5.

I'm going to give Maya a pass for the towel since it's not her house. I don't know where the first aid kits are in my friends' homes either, so I'd probably temporarily grab something like a towel to apply pressure and then ask the host where their kit is for gauze or whatever.

And good to see you too. :)
i dont even have a first aid kit (and i dont own a car, so not there either) the best i have are some little bandaids... for cuts... and thinking about it, all the persons i know in my family cycle or friends, dont have first aid kits either lying around, excpet for those in the cars cause they are mandatory in germany.

Its not that common to have real full on aid kits i guess? At least not in germany... same goes for fireextinguishers. *shrugs*

And to think about it... if i would hurt myself that bad, what does a first kit help me? Get a fucking towel, and as fast as possible to the hospital. I couldnt help myself with a first kit if my life depends on it.

Dpc confirmed 4 seasons right? I hope he sticks to it
He confirmed 4, but also stated that the 4th wouldn't be a typical season... Think epilogues

He also sated it would be as long as it needs. It possible, but unlikely he can tie all stories up in episode 12, then however many episodes he needs for the conclusion... Its more likely he needs 2 or 3 more to finish the story. The point is we are highly likely to be going into season 4 (how long it is and what it consists of is another matter)

As someone who has no clue about rendering and stuff, what does hardware update means for us? I know that the renders can be upgraded to 4k, the animation quality and character models will improve, and that in turn, it will take a longer time to actually finish the production of the next episode. So, this should mean:

1) Longer dev time
2) "Better" picture (it's already good and the changes probably won't be that noticable
3) Bigger size of the next episode
4) Better requirements to actually run the game? With how things go rn, will we need fucking NASA supercomputers to actually finish the game or will casual, idle PCs/laptops work? Not to say mine is bad, but it isn't exactly the best out there

I have a question, do you plan to change the save of the rute of Sage? I ask this because the handjob with Jade appears to be a real problem
Yes. The goal for that route includes saying "I love you" to her. So I'll go back and change my choice. As I stated in my Saves post. I don't mind making Chik choices if it maintains the integrity of the save. Will update when I manage to get around to honing in my choices and whatnot.

Didnt mod my last version but I did update my previous version, (and then added patch). I just deleted the persistent file from one folder gonna try the other one and see if not I'll reinstall. (I'm on Mac btw)
If that doesn't work, make sure you have some sort of audio output available when you start the game. Animations won't play if there's no audio capability currently available on your computer.

It honestly might not be super common here in the US either, but I and a lot of my friends are involved in the outdoors or scouting programs, so are used to having first aid kits available.

As for their purpose, they aren't usually intended to replace trips to the hospital, just to either help bridge the gap while getting there or to handle smaller things that are still slightly more involved than minor cuts.

He already has top level hardware. Nothing new would have any real impact on development.

I terms of animation. Ren'py as of yet can not handle anything bigger than 60fps,so they'll always be capped. Better hardware will essentially mean faster renders, and as speed will leave his pcs ide
Le, which he hates, it'll likely mean more of them.
