I spent all my money on d2d's betting game, so I technically I can't

2 previews in one week? im not taking that bet .. but if you are I know of a beach house you might be interested in

You’re right, I forgot. Although, I think I slightly more than doubled my credits with my chances on that. So here, bro, have a few $$$.

Meh, what the hell... I bet $$$ on Maya being the next preview. It's not like I got fucked over twice already by this but I should eventually win and I will regret not betting more if I'm right

Yeah, honestly this was pretty expected. Just hoping the lewd scenes actually deliver this time. In ep11, like half of them were mid at best — could’ve easily been cut from the game.
Seriously, who the hell needed Becky? That scene was pure trash.
At least this time it looks like we won’t be getting randoms. I’m expecting Zoey, Riona, Quinn, Bianca, and maybe the Jade & Сathy threesome (though after how bad Jade’s scene was in ep11, my hopes aren’t high).
Pretty sure we’ll get solo scenes with Lily and Nicole once the MC locks things down with them. So that’s 7 right there. Add the LI ones (Sage, Bella, Jill, Josy, and Maya) — that makes 12 total.
Probably gonna see Sally too, and that Bella/Jill threesome as the Jill route reward. I’d bet on a full-on cuck scene with Elena (since the last one was just a teaser), and maybe even something with Heather — why not?
Wouldn’t even be shocked if there’s a surprise foursome at the end, lol.

I'd also like to see normal sex scenes, but DAZ sucks with these animations. For 2025, they're really outdated: slow, with unnatural animations, the characters are animated like monolithic mannequins. I've seen developers switch to Blender for animation, and it's like a generational leap.
Only Lily, Bella andMaya/Josy scenes were great, soaked everything is possiblefrom that engine.

I'd say Summer.

Depending on the animations, that'll be what causes it to stray into Summer.

Yeah, gonna have to disagree here. Feels like DPC’s been chasing quantity over quality lately, and that’s exactly why the lewd scenes have gone downhill.
Every single scene back in ep7 felt special — they had emotion, tension, and yeah, they were hot as hell. Now it’s like he’s just cranking them out to give patrons a higher scene count and justify the insane wait times.
And no, I don’t think this is just a Daz issue. DPC can make amazing scenes — the Riona & Camilla threesome is still peak BAD content.
P.S. I actually liked the Sage & Camilla scene in ep11, but man, it was way too short. I was expecting way more.

You're the type of guy that places a 30 leg parlay and goes all in right?

Some stranger on an adult games forum gave me free pretend money to bet on whether a character of one of those games will be the protagonist of an image created by its developer. Wouldn't you take it on? Wouldn't you, fuck!

This week, I finished up the big scene I was working on and completed the art for another ~100 renders scene.

I continued by writing a lewd scene and have since been working on posing static renders and animations for it. It's going well. I will wrap it up within a few more days, and then continue writing and animating for yet another lewd scene.

I'm currently focusing on building a larger render queue with animations. And it's a battle because the PCs have gotten faster with the upgrades.

I estimate that the produced static renders are around 45-50%, and the posed animations are roughly 55%. Overall, I'm likely over the hump, but time will tell what the size of the episode will be.

I have at least seven more lewd scenes to create for the episode, plenty of branched content to plan, write and create, and a big free roam event left to create in its entirety.

The canon content, which has been my main focus up until now, is starting to come together nicely.

Have a nice weekend

Dr PinkCake

Clearly he needs to add more jiggly asses so there's more animations in the pipeline

Priorities, am I right?

Seriously, who the hell needed Becky? That scene was pure trash.

I was looking forward to dominating Becky, but instead, DPC spat in my face

 

[mangosok]

It's fortunate

If he really gets into working on the game and spends a lot of time on it, he might burn out. Also, since most of his time will go into actually making the game, he won’t have much left to think about the story and polish it, I think. Anyway, we'll see.

There's also the issue of first impressions, I think. Scenes from seasons 1-2 were at 2019-2021; in all other AVNs at that time it looked mid and often without any animation at all, just a series of static images; genre was still evolving. And then comes BaDIK, the peak of AVNs in quality and visuals. I was truly impressed at the time.
He still makes good, passionate, and horny scenes.
Ep 9: Zoey, Quinn, Sage, CUM-petition scene
Ep 10: Cathy, Riona
Ep 11: Lily, Josy/Maya, Sage/Camila, Bella in the kitchen.
Now, as in the past, he does several horny scenes per episode. Yeah he can do passionate, lewdy and emotional scenes. But still, if you look closer, you can see the tech flaws. Characters are wooden, body movements are unnatural. Often, it's very slow in slo-mo. This is the part that's the DAZ issue. Engine doesn't have built-in physics; plugins are optional and D-force, which is used for physics simulation, is weak and often a buggy mess. I see this in most DAZ games—lewds are mid-2025. At the same time, HS2 games and developers moving away from DAZ are producing better leads (for static renders, DAZ and its iRAY are still the best for me).
I don't mind to throw some stones at DPC for fuckups(deserved ), but here's the engine share part of the blame.

You're right, didn't have enough spark. Here you go:

 

[Cabin Fever]

I used to hear this all the time on DPC discord and it's just silly.
Does watching one amazing movie mean you can't enjoy all the other mediocre movies anymore?
Just lower your expectations and take them how they are. Less than perfect.

Not to mention, while this game started life at the top, other games have caught and passed it on the quality as well as the story front.

Almost a year in and we are around the half way mark in terms of developing the next episode? Oh dear...

As always with DPC, Chapter 12 will be the season finale—the fourth chapter of each season is always the last. These finales are typically the most demanding, requiring significantly more work: more content, more programming, more animations, and more dialogue. I was hoping for a release around February-March 2026, but it's looking like we might not see Chapter 12 until mid-2026. I hope I'm wrong about that.

 

[jargo1]

I can't seem to get Jills date to trigger in ep6. I have kissed her in ep 4 and ep 5 and my affection score is 18(checked from cheat mod). My character has chick affinity and I have not pursued any other relationships. Is this somehow related to bella?

I cant see you being wrong here - its taken the best part of 6 - 7 months to get to where he says hes over the hump, suggesting hes 50% so we need another 6-7 months to cross the finish line. So we are looking at April/May before the renders and stuff are done, thats without adding in the testing and any other stuff he feels the need to add. Based on the info we have so far It's possible we are looking at a June/July release, which is a bit better than the October release people were guessing before he got some hardware updates
