I understand your reaction, but at least you have been warned. Then again that means you don't get to complain about not being warned. So which exactly is worse here?

I've worked on art all week. I started by posing a 92-second-long cutscene animation, split across 29 animation files. That gave the animation queue a nice bump, and I continued working on art by posing static renders and more animations.
I've been working on both normal scenes and the big free roam event scenes. I've made some environment renders used for navigating the free roam and coded those environments, too.
I will be working on scenes in the free roam event in the upcoming weeks. Of those, I have 81 scenes left to create, which includes some scenes that only have partial or no writing - the majority is written. As mentioned last week, I estimated the static render count for the free roam event to be around 2900. I also need to pose animations for any lewd scenes that fall under the umbrella of the free roam event. I'll keep you updated on this progress weekly.
There are still scenes left to create outside the free roam event, but getting through this section now will be a big step forward for the episode's overall development. In terms of art, I'm 10-15% done with the free roam event.
281 static renders and 43 animations are in the render queue.
I'll have a fresh preview for you soon.
Have a nice weekend

Also, preview soon?
I'd probably say I prefer Seasons 1&2, but Season 3 has had some terribly fun stuff to punctuate the heavier stuff, like the cabin getaway.
Almost as ridiculous as "it didn't happen before, so it will happen now."
A more illuminating question is "how many moments of any kind do they have without the MC?"
Because we're following Tremolo around, we only see the moments he's present for, so it's hardly surprising we don't see the moments when Josy and Maya are connecting without him - we don't see any of their moments without him.
Overall, I think DPC has established that using the standard conventions of good writing and storytelling to try to predict what he'll do is a silly idea, so I'm not going to even attempt to guess whether there will actually be a path where the throuple lasts. I would like there to be one, but I'm not going to attempt to predict it.

The first season is what got us hooked. The second season is a long wait for the finale (which is pretty meh), with some good moments but also a lot of crap. Apart from the aesthetic aspect, the third season is perhaps better than the second.

Because Maya saying, "he gave me the ultimatum that I couldn't see Josy ever again", lines up precisely with Josy saying that them having to separate again feels "exactly like it did before summer" because it is literally just like that. Patrick's ultimatum kept them from seeing each other all summer, we know this, meaning they couldn't spend time together. With Josy moving out of the dorm, it therefore feels similiar to this for her because they are again being forced to stay apart even if it's only in terms of them not being able to have time together in a private place.
Patrick's ultimatum was therefore the catalyst for what's happened since because, as Josy pretty much said in Ep 2, "Relationships when you can't be with each other every week suck, by the way". The literal physical distance was hard on them and it exposed them to feeling pressures and tribulations they hadn't exerienced before. They didn't handle these well because, at the end of the day, they're inexperienced teenagers who simply didn't know the best way to handle these issues. All couples need to learn and develop good, open communication skills and also to not let negative things have an adverse effect on them. This is what the deeper issues are, really, and they're correctly identified in their conversation in Ep 11 as being what this whole ordeal has made them realise needs to be worked on and they both earnestly want to do that. They haven't given up on each other yet and they're going to take the time needed to try and rekindle things.
Plenty, actually.
They had a good moment in Ep 4 when they reconnected, partying together at the Prep mansion in Ep 5 because the MC isn't always with them and isn't with them if not on their path, they have their lewd scene in Ep 6 (seen on throuple path but have to imagine they got it on quite a bit before Patrick showed up), their talk in Ep 8 in the HOT house, their talk in Ep 8 in the MC's room when on their path, and then the cathartic talk in Ep 11.
That's at least all the ones we saw and there could easily be things we didn't because we don't have to see everything that other characters do. Like going shopping for costumes, we didn't see a scene with just them doing it but we know they will have and that could have been a good moment between them too.
Just DPC forcing drama, honestly.
Relationships can develop into that but they don't start out that way. You'll typically face this kind of trial by fire in every relationship where you have to realise the work that you need to put in to make it work and to not just rest on yout laurels, and overcoming these things is how you learn to deal with and remove those obstacles for that long-lasting future.
It's not really that simple.
When you feel like you're not getting the affection and often intimacy you desire and feel you need or you feel that your partner's feelings towards you have changed, it can be easy to grasp onto someone who seems like they do or could offer what you feel you're missing. This is honestly a perfectly normal reaction because connection like this is important for people and it's something that mostly everyone craves. But it doesn't necessarily mean it's at the level of love, particularly in this case where what Josy feels is a crush, and it also doesn't mean it can't be overcome. That's why couple and marriage counselors exist, to help couples repair these rifts and at least attempt to rediscover their feelings for each other by woking on and through the issues.
Sometimes people in a couple can take their partner for granted, something Maya openly admitted to in Ep 11, because even couples who've been together for decades and gone through just about everything still need to give each other affection and affirmation. It's something you constantly need to do and neglecting that can lead to issues as it had done here. But realising that and then working on making things better can go a long way and can pull a relationship back from the brink and end up as a footnote in a long and happy life together.
A year is still very early on in a relationship though. Some people can be together for even longer and still not have figured everything out yet. Some people spend years together, get married, and then one of them becomes very different making their partner almost immediately feel like they've made a mistake.
But Josy and Maya are not tired of each other, that's not what this is. If they were they would have just ended things then and there but they didn't. What it is was 2 inexperienced teens not dealing with a major obstacle in their relationship in the best way. Can't really hold that against them, in my view, because I'm sure we've all been there or at least have known something like this; messing up a good thing when you were young because you weren't mature enough to know the right way to handle it and let emotions and hormones get the better of you. Knowing what to do and what not to do is something that comes with age and experience and they just got a hefty dose of experience right here.
But they've actually done the right thing here in Ep 11 by calmly and rationally talking it out and both reached a mutual determination to work on the issues they've correctly identified as necessary for their relationship to work, so they're off to a good start.
Except it really wasn't like that. Josy's the one who brings up all the times they've done things as a 3 and saying it was all "before we tried the bed". If, however, you did anything on a bed with Maya, she says so because she's still in a state of euphoria and didn't think anything of it. So it wasn't like it was said to brag or compete, it was just Maya being disarmingly honest and not thinking it was a problem.
When having their talk in Ep 11, Josy does say, "I don't think our problems start or end with Patrick. It's easy to pin the blame on him for everything, but I think there are more problems in our relationship that he overshadowed. Like us not communicating well." What she says is somewhat correctly identifying the issues I've been talking about, that them being forced apart led to them not handling things well in terms of their communication, making time for each other, and not succumbing to negatives.
As I said, these are issues all relationships face, especially when physical distance is involved, and Patrick's ultimatum essentially exposed the holes in the ship, as it were, the things that all couples must face, the adversities they must overcome and not let bring them down if they want to make it work. Because again, this is so very indicative of relationships like this at that age, that you do kind of cruise along thinking that just being together is enough to get you through. But relationships are hard work with good, open communication at its core and this is precisely what they realised they need to do better, finally, so that's why I say they've taken a very positive step here but why I also say that Patrick did start this because him being a roadblock exposed what needed to be better and what they needed to learn from.

This is not entirely true. Most of what we see does happen in his presence, but by no means all of it. Rusty and Tommy talk about a plan B in case they can't get the mansion fixed on their own. Stephen and Jade talk about the divorce. Jill kicks Tyballs in the balls. Maya and Josy have sex. And of course there is the vast majority of the interlude episode.

Yeah, everyone remembers how Tremolo was famously present for Maya and Josy's talk at the end of Episode 11, regardless of involvement! Just like he's there for all of Quinn's dealings, Sage's family drama, Bella's interactions with other staff and Jill's confrontation with Tybalt. Clearly, the game is only willing to show scenes if Tremolo is right there.

So, we can expect one... Until next Friday, tops? Maybe the following Monday which is Dec 1st?
I'd rather see it this way, rather than the usual nothing sandwich that status updates nearly always are.

After reading a lot of the comments of the people who think the thruple is inevitably going to end, they just prefer josy over maya and that's fine you like who you like. At the end of the day we don't know what's gonna happen with the thruple. There could be a branch where they all stay together, or there could be branches where you choose who you want, It's not like they don't like each other anymore it's just that the communication just isn't there rn. This game still has a long way to go and stop using "realism" to justify your reasoning. At the end of the day IT'S A PORN GAME Sure it's not your typical one but it still is one and DPC has been doing a lot of branches recently don't make it look like he doesn't care about what the players want Sure his first game had us "choose" a girl to burn to death but as sum would say that game was more of a Kinect novel at the end than an actually making your own dicesion it felt like users has no choices, but only has to click to advance That all I gotta say about this

Honestly, despite all my misgivings so far Season 3 has been amazing, there is no other AVN that has matched it yet, its a whole other level of quality.Did you guys know it took Michelangelo 4 years to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel?
