I just finished my 2nd playthrough of the new update and just realised(like many of you) this game will take so long to be finished like 2033-35? DPC has said multiple times season 4 is going to be the end of this story(unless something changed) but the game has so many path's/choice's i just hope DPC doesn't' burned out soon and stop or at least after 3rd season it fully out. Now for the next update maybe summer of 2026?
My main argument against 2 year updates is the severe psychological and moral exhaustion of DPC.
I think DPC himself realizes that a 2 year update would just kill him.
He himself said during the development process that he is under a lot of stress from not being able to release an episode within this year.
It's one thing when you release an update once a year, it's another when you've been working on 2 years. Especially for such a perfectionist DPC, who is extremely sensitive to everything is a big blow, after which he can burn out and get depressed.
We have examples in AVN when developers got depressed during the development process.
I don't really know what he'll choose. But I'm sure 2 years of development will just kill him.
So I think that in the next update he will try at least not to increase the size, because he himself has a hard time tolerating such long cycles.
Or he will just split the episode into 2 parts, which will allow him to develop the episode for 2 years much more smoothly.

MC runs off pouting and you have decision time. Stay at Cathy’s, Jade’s, Nora’s, or with Philip. :coffee:
lmao

Phillip is the man by the way, such an likeable guy. From teaching with his black eye, to handling the cheater stuff very professional, inviting tremolo to the new music event and laughing about the strippers so heartfelt

i really like this guy, i think getting drunk together with him could be a fun evening full of fun stories!

I would even set him up with bella or cathy :p

You're judging him too superficially. It's not just about the money.
If it was just about money, he could have released shorter updates and potentially made more money. He cares about public approval, he takes criticism hard.
I think that's why he stopped publishing render and animation numbers, because he knew that people were counting and predicting the release of an episode, and that made him very nervous and stressed out.

that seems like a pointless variable at the moment, nothing in episode 11 actually changes its value.
It's most likely a bug and "flirting harder" should set it to True (instead of redundant False) given it leads to Fuckface and Bianca doing sex things. The beta testers would overlook that because without looking in the script you don't even know it's there, as it has no impact (yet).

(as for why it's called Ep11 and not Ep12, that's because all variables are named after the chapter where you can make decision which potentially set them. Which would further confirm not being able to activate it there is unintended)

There's also the fact we are in the Endgame now - Ive said it before and I'll say it again.... The Next Q&A will be telling. when looking at what is left to resolve, there isn't much. Bella's arc (likely getting done next), The Drug Arc (Quinns seems to be moving on that) The Frat War (jury out on this one) and a few others here and there. During the last Q&A he declared he needed 14-16 episodes and at the same time declared the last season would be more epilogue and not the standard season. Now obviously it is possible but unlikely, but for argument's sake if he ties concludes the storylines in 12 it leaves him season 4 to do the epiloguy things he wants to it won't be a wait till 203x to get it finished - as the Epilogues will come faster than the normal episodes.

What he really needs to do is get over this increased render count each episode and his rigs sitting idle thing. - Fucking hell if your PCS are idle, get them rendering shit for the next episode.

Sating that its season finale next time. you know the fuckers going big!

Do you get any additional Bianca content if you're rejected by Jill? I don't remember if the dinner scene is before or after the rejection.

I have followed the "help" instructions on the puzzle box (game I) several times and never solved it. Obviously, I am either misunderstanding the help instructions or they are not correct. Can anyone give me a step-by-step on it. And there are no instructions for the other puzzle box games, so I'm guessing I have to solve game I first. Thanks in advance.

This makes me also wonder why DPC rendered us seeing Matthew cheat while hanging out with Quinn, even though (so far) it doesn't has any resolution afterwards. It could be to just let us see some funny reactions from Quinn, but it might also mean something more in the future. Perhaps it might become mandatory to be on the Quinn path to get Bianca on the Others route without her cheating?
From a branching narrative perspective leaving yourself ways to bring multiple pathways back into a single path is a smart thing to do even if you don't end up using them in the long run. Whether this ends up being used in that way I don't know but the option can be left open for it at the very least.

Personally I think Bianca will eventually find out about Matthew and Olivia one way or another even when you're not on Jill's path, leaving things open for Bianca to explore her lust of MC
