I've been planning and writing dialogue all week. I have tackled two scenes that I think will be among the top five biggest scenes of the episode. The scenes were of both canon and branched nature. I also wrote four other scenes of medium length, also of canon and branched nature.

Right now, I've chosen to focus on canon content to work toward finishing the backbone structure of the episode.

I will return to posing static renders next week. With all that's been written these last couple of weeks, I estimate that I need to pose at least 1000-1300 static renders to catch up with the writing again. I also need to work on a lewd scene soon, but I have to write one before I can do that.

The animation queue still has work for a few more weeks, but I want to beef it up some more. The speed has been very solid lately.

It's been hard to post any previews this month, mainly because of spoiler reasons. Unsurprisingly, it's a very spoilery episode. But I'll try to find something worth posting for you soon.

Poll news
Today, the cosmetic poll for Zoey ended, and the winning option was option #1.

It will be featured in episode 12. Thanks for voting, and stay tuned for more polls!

Have a nice weekend

Probably DPC with his yes-men after the poll results:

It doesn't matter which option won, the poll was doomed already since DPC came up with all those atrocious options. I just hope Zoey won't wear it on her path or at the very least it's not for a romance scene.

Thank GOODness the goobers on reddit and here arent allowed to vote in the polls cuz this result is EXACTLY what I wanted, the payers saved this poll man. Cant wait to see Zoey wear this next episode. This dress fits Zoey perfectly and those objecting to it saying it doesnt fit her personality or something dont know what they are talking about.

I'm a fan of Zoey and I can honestly say it doesn't suit her at all (and none of the options really did). I don't think it suits her looks or her personality. I think it's a decent enough outfit, and can see why people would pick it out in a poll, but only if it was for a generic girl, not for Zoey (or anyone else it wouldn't suit in the slightest, like Bella, for instance).

So if the poll image was more like this, and it wasn't for a specific girl, I could agree with the winning choice (I couldn't be bothered to cut out all of the outfits just to demonstrate a quick point):

How dare you!!! Do you know how hard it is to find 1 non spoiler render out 10 000 renders!?!

To be fair, up to now I would only see her wear those clothes during her job. Then again this is DPC we're talking about and Jill also tried a complete overhaul at the end of ep 11.

in ep9 Zoey tell mc she changed and she says smoking weed and dyeing her hair black was a phase idk if its different with DIK Zoey tho

Yeah, but even while changing phases, in general she still kept the same style of clothing. Unless her personality changes in ep 12 for some reason, this really doesn't suit her.

 

[HOBGTG]

He seriously forgot to cook with Zoey's outfits. But, it is what it is. I'm sure his patrons are talking about '' oh, she is all nice and dolled up '', sure, brother...

Seriously, it feels like a newbie just joined an online session and decided to dress his/her character up with worst outfit to look '' cool ''.

 

[treechild1]

With this poll we only had fails imo. None of them would suit her personality at all.
I wonder if we'll get to see the reason in game why she's changing her style.

Probably the same reason real girls do, trying too hard to be someone she’s not in an attempt to catch the MC’s attention. Thinking, “If only I were like the other girls, maybe he’d notice me.”

That isn't a reaction the Zoey we see in game would give however, that sounds more like something Josy would do (and already does with her reinvention). The Zoey we know is overall quite confident (once she knows what she wants) and would just take the loss if she's CHICK or "fight" the competition as a DIK.

I think the outfit doesn't change her personality the outfit look hot on her with her tats and hair and black color is just right. I would agree if the winner was 2nd option but I'm happy with number 1, and like I said she is not going to a skatepark with this fit, we'll see what it is and I just hope we can rip those stocking at the end of the night

Idk, Zoey seemed pretty shook up and confused about her own feelings in the last chapter. She could be going through an existential crisis. Or not. We shall see… next year.

To anyone who voted for the skirts: I hate your fucking guts.

It's called trolling the smurf.

How funny it would be if Zoey after MC break up with his girlfriend for her, and get universal hate from the Main Girl group, Zoey slowly realize it was not love " love " what she felt for MC, and runs away again , to " find herself " , leaving MC looking like a total Fool.

I just saw the living replica of Jill in the retail shop.

I doubt she's changing her style. I mean, look at the outfit: the colour, the shoes, the jewellery - this doesn't look like one of her regular outfits because it isn't. It's a Christmas outfit. In my experience, even people who normally dress casually tend to dress a bit more elegantly and conservatively for Christmas. It's either directly for Christmas or for a date with MC close to Christmas, and for that it makes sense, too. She's a bit nervous, because it's their first "official" date, and she wants to look good, and chooses an outfit a bit different from what she usually wears. This is not a random outfit she wears for a trip to the supermarket. I personally like it as a special outfit. Normally the patreon voters' taste and my own differ quite a bit, but this time they did well, imo.

I've seen her look alikes quite often in Istanbul. Some have done heavy plastic surgeries though.

Normally I would agree with you, but again, this is Zoey we're talking about. Even while dressing up for dates or festivities, the Zoey we know doesn't seem like a girl that would go so far outside of her comfort zone/normal clothing for a (Christmas) date to me.

Yeah, but it IS different this time: she's caught a nasty case of the feelings. I'd be surprised if she was just wearing her normal stuff. I could even imagine it comes up as a topic during the date, like how she was insecure and didn't know what to wear, and is unsure about this outfit as well, and how silly that is because they've known each other for so long. But I guess we'll have to wait and see how it fits in the scene in which it appears. I think it's going to work much better than many people here seem to expect.

 

[Bloodguard]

The main complaint is that this outfit violates Zoey authenticity. She's an alt-girl, tomboy, skater, and this feels like a violation of her aesthetic.
Remember her casual outfits:

You should probably consider that Zoey is going through some pretty major changes. Just figured out she's in love with her best friend. That said, I doubt those who rejected her will see that outfit. I think it's definitely something she'd wear on a date with the MC to show him he made the right choice. I'm sure she knows about his stocking fetish, right?

I'm really enjoying seeing these debates and conversations being had in the thread these days. It's restoring my desire to participate after so long. Thank you to everybody keeping this thread alive and thriving! You're all doing a pirate's work!

As for Zoe, I honestly didn't like any of the poll options, but perspectives like yours are broadening my own, and I've already grown more accepting of the idea of seeing it next year.
