I don't know if I can ever call a few days before a full year development cycle for an update that consists of 1/16th of a game "good news" lol. We're well past the stage of good news, we're basically getting to the point where no matter the date it's an utter embarrassment. Sorry, I know people here sound like a broken record complaining about the release date and I'm probably preaching to the choir, but I don't think people should ever stop criticizing how much of a perfectionist DPC is (to the detriment of efficiency and reasonability).

Has there been an update since Episode 6 where he hasn't said "the next one will be shorter"? lolWhile saying next dev cycle would be shorter AND upgrading his systems, mind you. When we cross 2024 with no updates I want to see his paypigs eating shit and his mental gymnastics why it couldn't be done any other way.

You take away the perfectionism and the 60fps change, and all the others bells and whistles he adds.
With the sheer amount of renders/animations updates will always take time.
And sure he can do smaller updates but it will still take the same amount of time to get to the end.

I'll remember this when Episode 11 takes over a year and doesn't release till January 2025

That's optimistic man.I'll remember this when Episode 11 takes over a year and doesn't release till January 2025
I was Mr Pessimist, saying we'll get 10 by Thanksgiving and now that is a small possibility.
Episode 11 I'm waging March 2025.
It's also everything else that isn't a static image. For example, in ep 9 when Jamie was flipping off Leon. That whole sequence was an animation. So both lewd and non-lewd sequences are being referred to when he mentions animations. In fact, Ep 9 had a lot of that shit. Damn. I barely noticed all of it except for the opening now that I think about it.
Rendering for animations can also vary based on how complicated a sequence might be. It's like comparing rendering a batch of 10 static images vs 50. Which is probably why DPC's basing his projections based on the average rate (at least I think that's what he said). But I have very little technical knowledge when it comes to this stuff. Also, there's probably someone else who at least knows the bare minimum who's already replied anyway. So ... just listen to that guy. lol.

There are good reasons for its long development time. First, it is branching and the large number of variables it has to keep track of. I don't know of any other game on this site that has that much variability. Secondly, the 60 fps animations were really rather unnecessary than necessary, but since he made the decision he made it. There's nothing you can do about it.
But yes we are at the point where releasing an episode once a year is already a good thing.
Putting aside the 60fps thing, it seems like it's mainly the animations that have held things up for Ep 10, Ep 9, and I think maybe even Ep 8 (probably remembering wrong, might have been the static renders for that one).
The question is, do we really need all those animations? Except for maybe the opening and maybe one other sequence, I barely noticed them in Ep 9. But that's just me. If DPC and the majority want them, then I guess it is what it is.

That's not going to happen. It is not profitable for DPC itself. It has only updated the PCs towards the middle of development and will probably have updated systems from next year and therefore development MUST be faster. Not to mention it will save time on minigames.
I'm not saying it will speed up development time by much, but all it will do is allow him to stay within one year. But in the end, we're coming to the annual winter release of a new episode.

We also said 1 year is not possible, and yet here we are lol. I think he trained his audience on discord and patreon, so they will give him time. New tech isnt coming until 2025, so only thing he can really do is add more 4090's to his setup.

I did. I have a nasty disease - I am a Completionist. Cant help it, I must see everything. I went for a Casanova run (chasing all main girls) + bunch of others. I had a save, but my ssd went to shit, so I lost everything. It's what you expect - bunch of drama. You break girls hearts and Jade wants to kill you. Other girls such as Lilly and Nicole are just sad you cant fool around with them.

She won't forgive ?
So what ?
Nothing wrong.
If they kick me out of prison, I won't leave.
I will sing songs under the windows of the prison about my love for the Divine Quinn.
She won't like it, I know.
But it's not my fault.
Because it's a crime to be so unimaginably beautiful.
She'll have to get used to it.

Personally I don't see the need of them.
The opening to episode 9 while cool the first time, was skipped on later playthroughs.
And some of these larger animations takes time, if he cuts them out, the updates might take 9-10 months, which is far better.
Obviously someone didn't like that I thanked the artists whose art I used and deleted (or actually deleted) two of my posts.Sorry friend there maybe lots of clones and look -a-likes but I know the one true Josy and she is faithful and totally mine

I didn't think I was violating the forum rules, but so be it, I'll take note. Too bad.
