On Steam announcement he said that he is 60% done with episode 12. Is June/July still too optimistic?
Based on the data ie it took him 8 to 9 months to get to 60%, one could argue 6 to 7 months for the remaining 40% meaning a June/July release could be possible. But I think it is a little optimistic...

I mean it was only what couple of months ago he was claiming he was just over the hump at 50% so 2 month to move 10%. We really need more info from him to be sure

But for now
June/July seems optimisric
Aug/Sep seems realistic
Oct and beyond seems pessimistic

The year comes to an end, as does your first semester at B&R. The choices you have made, the divergent road you wander... Will you look at your journey the same after you have peered beneath the surface?


Being a DIK: Season 4 will be the final season that concludes the story. It will be released and sold separately as DLC.

I thought there would be more previews and maybe some teasers of lewd scenes, but the announcement mostly features neutral renders.
Oh well.
What is likely is that it is rendering in 4K (including animations, lol), which is the reason for such a long development period.
I don't see the point in this 4K at all, DPC's renders are pretty average and not as high quality as the renders of Ocean, for example.
Like, the yellow color won't be so noticeable in 4K?

I actually prefer DPCs renders. Ocean has poor lighting in a lot of renders.

Осean simply prefers low contrast to convey his noir and minimalist atmosphere. This is why many scenes in Ocean's appear too dark. But to be fair, DAZ handles dark scenes much better than daytime ones. DPC, on the other hand, has many contrasting and bright scenes. But because he does too many renders, an unjustifiably large number (due to branching and unnecessary choices for the most part), the quality of his art is average or even low.

Did DPC reveal something here?

The MC is wearing the same shirt in the trailer as in the preview with Maya. However, the locations are different. One of them is definitely a gym, judging by the markings on the floor. A gym has locker rooms and showers, but not facilities like the one in the Maya preview.

I'm wondering if there are two different New Year's Eve parties. One with the Alphas and many HOTs (Others Branch), and another with the LIs (LI Branches) at a different location.

If the MC wins the fighting tournament, he'll be highly regarded by the Alphas and will probably be allowed to celebrate New Year's Eve with them at the gym. But if the MC doesn't participate in the fighting tournament and plays guitar at the college Christmas party, he might meet some important people. Philip already hinted at this, suggesting the party would be a good opportunity to meet people. What if Geoff invites the MC and some of his friends to a New Year's Eve party? :unsure:
