Ok damn Maya looks good in these .. first one slut vibes 1 or 3.. still breaking up with her to be with Josy

 

[Josh M Spicer]

No, you are just optimistic in your assumptions and bad at math.

Ep 11 took 15 months. Assuming ep 12 to take less is the definition of optimism. If it manages the same 15 months it'll be early June. If it adds 3 months like ep 11 did to ep 10 it'll be early September.

My math got me to August and I assumed Doc would push the release back to the beginning of the next month anyway, thus September.

 

[Darkwen]

Think logically. What was announced in the game is a college Christmas party, and it's going to be a big one. I don't think DPC would do two big Free Roam events for Episode 12 just for that.

The MC will be at the Christmas party. Either as the winner of the MA tournament or because he's providing the music with Jill. He's allowed to bring one guest. That will be Maya. Why?

There are two possibilities. Josy is still with her mother, or she's celebrating Christmas with her father. You can even read that this is what Josy intends to do. In Episode 9, Josy even told the MC to bring him home to her father so that this wouldn't happen.

Maya is the MC's guest at the college Christmas party.

The Christmas party has already happen, the dress would have to be for New years. And the staff Christmas party thing Maya can't go just Jill and Bella the way Philip talk about it and you can only go to one not both. And we know Mc will be with Josy for Christmas.

 

[Darkwen]

When have you ever had a logical thought? Remember when you said Jill and Josy are sisters because they have the same color of pants?

He does have the longest record for never being right about anything in game

I'm working off of current progress. So yes, it slipping to September from where we are now (50% at 6-7 months) would be slippage of 5-6 months.

I'm working off of current progress. So yes, it slipping to September from where we are now (50% at 6-7 months) would be slippage of 5-6 months.

First slipping to September by 5-6 months would be from March or April. Are you suggesting he'll be done 4-5 months from now?

Second the 6-7 months is wrong. Last release was March and it's November. 8 months. You have no basis to assume he started in April and he might have actually started in February.

Third 6 months from November is May not April. 7 months would be June. So slipping to September would be 3-4 months. Using the 8 months would be July and slipping to September only 2 months.

Fourth you don't allow for testing which will be done after the rendering reaches 100%. 1 more month. August or slipping by 1 month to September.

If the rendering started in February It's September with no slipping whatsoever.

Definitely #3. That burgundy dress color and the deep neckline are great.

I hate to pummel this equine corpse or whatever but it's optimistic to give the date anything before summer of next year.

Do we want the game released as soon as possible? Absolutely.

Do we have confidence that it will be? No.

The DIK and ALPHA Christmas party took place. Isabella's Christmas party ended abruptly. I don't think it was so the MC could spend the real Christmas with Josy or Maya, though. Your assumption is based on the preview.

It confirm MC will be with Josy for Christmas that we know for sure from the preview of new Iris, weather or not the preview is on Christmas day that we don't know, it could be MC stays a few days with Josy and her family.

Maya's new dress I would think has to do with new years because there nothing Christmas she can wear it to. Unless on throuple you can either go home Josy with Josy or Maya based on who's scene you got in 11

He definitely started in February or even earlier. Why? Because there was zero rendering downtime (see quote with old post). Rendering for E12 started in early February, so it effectively has been in development for 9 months. And since rendering is the rate-limiting step, with 50% done after 9 months, it will be completed after 18 months. September, here we come.

It's the first Status update for episode 12. Let's go !

While not at full speed, I've been cooking things since episode 11 was wrapped up. Today, I will share the progress that has been made since then and bring you up to speed on the development.

As you know, episode 12 is the final episode of Season 3. After it is completed, I will work on bringing Season 3 to Steam and GOG. During this development cycle, I will work on tasks related to the Steam/GOG release. I have already coded the Steam Season 3 achievements and created all the art for the icons. I may decide to add some more achievements later, and at the moment, there are 45 of them.

Season 4 will be the last season of the game, and it will be a standalone executable. This means that you will export saves from Season 3 and import them in Season 4, which should feel familiar to you by now. As this is important to get right, I started working on the export/import functionality a few weeks ago and brought it up to speed with episode 11. Every new variable that I create in episode 12 will be added to the export functionality later during development. It was a lot of code to write and manage, but most of the heavy lifting was done. I will have to do thorough testing of this later to make sure it works as intended.
To keep PCs up and running, I focused on episode 12 animations and lewd scenes immediately after episode 11 was fully rendered. I have had zero downtime when it comes to rendering. 57 animations have already been rendered, and I have 17 animations in the queue.
Lately, I have been planning the episode in greater detail, mapping it out, and trying to limit it. And I have also been writing a lot. Compared to episode 11, I've written roughly 26%.

In the near future, I will focus on writing and planning and pose more animations to build a bigger queue. Static render work will have to wait for a while.
Also, I have already added the mini-game code I need for episode 12 and updated what needed to be updated for most mini-games. I have some work left with Brawler and Party Planning that I'll see to at a later point in development.

I have written the code for all special renders in the Rewards app. The 2D art assets and the code are all in place, and the same goes for the Mixed renders needed for Pack Quest and similar. There will be two more special render sets in episode 12. Isabella is the last main girl to receive hers in episode 12, and patrons will decide the other Unknown slot in the Rewards app in a poll. I'm not going to talk too much about the rewards in Season 4 at this point, but it could be worth mentioning that this Special render poll might be the last poll of its kind for Being a DIK.
I'm still deciding which polls to use for episode 12. I'll let you know when I've made my decision.

Have a great weekend.

I like the color of 4 a bit more, and I don't like the stripes on 3 - the rendering causes them to be all stretched and squished, and look weird. I do think 1-2 would be a sign of Maya embracing her emerging exhibitionist streak, which would be interesting. Between the library, the outdoor sex, and the classroom sex at the dorm party, and the vibrator scene in class - she likes the risk of getting caught, and I think would like being watched.

She didn't seem opposed to taking pics when we mention it on Halloween, but nothings come of that... yet

How narrow-minded are you, really? Philip is simply asking the host if he wants to play guitar – or not. Philip isn't extending an invitation. But someone else might invite him to this party, and that won't happen until EP12.

You really need to learn how to read better, not just in the game but also in this conversation.

First of all, if you're asked to perform, that is an invitation because it's an invitation to perform. You do not get an invitation from him otherwise because this event is a private gathering for faculty and select special guests of which the MC would not be universally. So if you choose the fighting tournament, he's not showing up to the faculty event because he wouldn't be let in universally.

However, if you chose to not do the fighting tournament and either chose not to perform or didn't get the invite but are on the Jill, Bella, or Sage paths. then you probably will go to the faculty event as their guest, a point I made to you already.

Maybe if you're on the Jill, Sage, or Bella paths he'll be there as a guest, but if you chose the fighting tournament he'll be there all day as he said.

Basically, there's probably several different ways this can go, but universally you won't be able to be at both.

1. Chose fight tournament, you'll be there
2. Chose faculty recital, you'll be there
3. Chose neither and aren't on Jill, Bella, or Sage path, you go watch the tournament
4. Chose neither and are on Jill, Bella, or Sage path, you go to the faculty recital as their invited guest

Jill, Sage, and Bella are the only ones who likely would because, again, Maya and Josy are not likely to be there universally since they're not likely to be considered as part of the "esteemed guests" Philip mentioned who he said would provide an "excellent opportunity to network" which means those who are not faculty and the performers will be influential people, business owners and such. Sage might be there only by virtue of her family being faculty and maybe Rusty could be there too with his parents since they're Burgmeisters, but that's probably it.

Think what you want and I'm right.

You're honestly so wrong it's painful.

Yeah I'm aware of that. The suggestion that you get invited as someone's +1 is basically just the fallback for if DPC doesn't feel like coming up with a third event for people who say no to both. It seems more likely than going to spectate the fighting tournament to me.

In a scenario where you chose not to fight or do the performance and you're on the Jill, Bella, or Sage paths then you'll probably be going to the faculty event by default, and if you're not on their paths then you'll probably go watch the fight tournament because you'd only get an invite if you're on any of those paths since they'll be there.

But if you chose to fight or chose the faculty event, you'll be going there and staying there, for sure. And if you're on a Jill path where you helped her at the recital but chose the fight tournament, maybe that causes some issues with her that you chose this over performing with her.

Another point on MC getting invited only if he helps Jill with her recital: If MC does NOT help her Jill will chicken out and won't perform the recital so she won't be invited to perform for the faculty either. On Jill's path helping her is forced so she will perform for the faculty, but MC can choose the tournament instead.

That's honestly another great point, that Jill will not be performing if she failed the recital. But, I suspect that will be dealt with by having Geoff and Amelia attend as esteemed guests and so Jill will come along with them, and if you're on Jill's path then you'll be there too, otherwise you won't be.

The point is that where the girls are on Dec 29th might have other options too.

Now that we've had that preview of Sage and Jill at the faculty event, we can safely say they will be there but it could still be varied. For example:

• Sage path + faculty performance invite = She will be there
• Non-Sage path + faculty performance invite = She will be there
• Sage path + fight tournament = She will be there
• Non-Sage path + fight tournament = She will be there
• Sage path + no faculty performance invite or fight tournament = She will be at the faculty event and bring MC
• Non-Sage path + no faculty performance or fight tournament = She will be at the faculty event, MC at the fight tournament

As for the other girls:

• Jill/Bella path + faculty performance invite = They will be there
• Non-Jill/Bella path + faculty performance invite = They will be there
• Jill/Bella path + fight tournament = They will be at the faculty event
• Non-Jill/Bella path + fight tournament = They will be at the faculty event
• Jill/Bella path + no faculty performance invite or fight tournament = They will be at the faculty event and bring MC
• Non-Jill/Bella path + no faculty performance or fight tournament = They will be at the faculty event, MC at the fight tournament

• MJ path + faculty performance invite = They could be there as his guests
• Non-MJ path + faculty performance invite = They will not be there
• MJ path + fight tournament = They will be there
• Non-MJ path + fight tournament = They could be there
• MJ path + no faculty performance invite or fight tournament = They will go watch the fight tournament
• Non-MJ path + no faculty performance or fight tournament = They will go watch the fight tournament
