MC is getting to see the husband, 100% omg
Quite an interesting thing to think about. I don't know the general consensus surrounding James' potential return these days.

I, for one, don't think we will EVER see present day James appear in the story (if he's even still alive), and certainly not next episode. But this is DPC we're talking about, can never say never :censored:.

My current thinking is that James has read too many Rowling books and is convinced "Bella" is actually short for different name. Now he is too scared to go home. We must keep him away from Lily at all costs.

No, but if you take into account what people have been paying for their DPC subscription for years, we can say that Being A DIK will officially be more expensive than any triple-A game.:KEK:

Of course, that only applies to people who paid for Patreon, not those who buy the full game on Steam in 2040.
With the money he makes, he better start producing an open world rpg with 4k cinematics on the unreal engine. Extra points if we can get a GTA style game so I can beat Tybalt, Maya, and especially Quinn.

Character creation/editor would be great. I'd love to edit MC's ass, quads, and calves.

I've been writing dialogue for the big free roam event every single day this week. I thought I would be able to complete the dialogue and start working on art, but there's been too much to write about. And the free roam event grew as I wrote, and I included more scenes. Who would have thought that would happen?

It's tough to give you a picture of how much writing there is for this free roam event. Comparing the calls to images in the code with that of the Christmas party in episode 11, I estimate the writing would need ~2900 renders at the moment, making it roughly 30% bigger. But I'm not done with it yet. I'm getting close, though. As you can see, this event will be a major part of the episode.

I have written 76 events out of 82 planned - event count isn't set in stone -, meaning I'm 90-95% done with the dialogue for the free roam event.

I haven't written any code for the free roam event navigation yet, but that's fun and fast to code. I'll knock that out in 1-2 days of work alongside making the art for the environment renders.

This morning, I only had 10 animations in the render queue. So, today I pushed the stop button on writing dialogue mid-flow and started posing animations. I will pose animations to increase the queue a bit, then I will write the rest of the events and go back and forth to create the art. With the environments, characters, and dialogue done, posing the free roam event will be straightforward.

Poll news
View attachment 5436778
During my years on Patreon, I've had many polls, but none as close as the one that ended today. In fact, it had a different outcome yesterday, and this morning, only 14 votes separated two of the options (a patron in the $30 tier has 11 votes, with the voting power that comes with the tiers accounted for).

When the poll ended, the difference between options 1 and 3 was less than 1%, with option 3 in a marginal favor. For the first time ever, I have decided to include two winning poll options in episode 12. Hopefully, that pleases the vast majority of you. You'll discover how it's implemented when you play.

Thanks for voting!

Have a nice weekend

Sooo, given that it's the season finale, what big bombshells (besides Bella's locked door) are we expecting for this episode?
