I agree it wasn't 100% focus, but DPC said his PCs were never idle.

He was already posing animations for 12 while 11 was in beta testing.

This can be confirmed by checking the very first on 11/04/25 where he said this:

He wouldn't be able to be at this much done rendering after just one month of work.

So while this might not be 2 extra months of full work, this means the 60% done point used more than 9 months of time. Most likely a bit over 10 months.
Most likely those "animations" were of the one second or shorter variety, like the occasional blink you see when a character is speaking or a finger wag, maybe someone bouncing their foot while waiting impatiently. At least the vast majority. Plus that confirms he knew what he wanted the beginning to look like, so he wasn't wasting time or dithering to start. Pretty sure he take some time off to start the last few production cycles. And how would you know how much time was spent rendering?

He tells us in the update...

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.
SO no, no down time, and given we know that it was handed to Beta Testers on the 8th February, we also know his computers have also been busy since then... No matter what the size of them...

I see nothing definitive there. You have to do posing and writing and a few other things before rendering can even start, and also, didn't he hand the game to his play testers in late February?

You can't be serious, 30+, single mother, drug addict, stripper and prostitute, definitely Top wife material! :LOL:
Single mom, 30+ sounds like someone ready to get married to me. She is kind and did what she could to provide for her kid. Nothing wrong with that. Not sure why you say drug addict, but recreational MJ is not problem in my eyes. Stripper, as I said minus the job. Been a while since I played the game, but not sure where prostitute comes from.

Well for the writing you need to go back to an Episode 11 update, specifically one posted on 17th January where he specifically says.

I've also been taking some time to write content for episode 12 and write the code for the remaining mini-games in Season 3.
WHich actually takes episode 12s start date further back.

And no he didn't hand it to testers in late February. We know this thanks to the final update on the 9th February where he states

Beta testing started yesterday, and the testers are digging into the episode.
And if you want something definitive you only have to look at Episode 12s first update where he says the following:

While not at full speed, I've been cooking things since episode 11 was wrapped up.
AAnd repeats the following

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.
So KaiserST is right on this one, it doesn't matter to what capacity he was working on it, we know he has been working on Episode 12 since at earliest 8th Feb and an argument can be made it's earlier than that

First meeting with the MC, ten minutes later she was already jumping on his dick and she got paid for it—isn't that prostitution? Moreover, it seems naive to me to think that she does this only with the MC.

She's a beautiful woman. But would you consider her a suitable candidate for a wife in real life? I don't think so.
Nicole worked as a prostitute because she needed money to take care of her son. It sucks that she didn't come up with something better, but not everyone gets a good education and a good job. And the game clearly states that she doesn't do that anymore, the MC being the exception.
If we follow your logic, then Maya and Jill are whores because they let a guy they knew for 1 or 2 days spend the night with them.

I'm sorry for your loss. Can't imagine how difficult that must have been for you.
Thanks, and it has been extremely difficult. This month is her birthday, so,a tough one for me, four years later. But, these forums have brought me through it and helped keep me smiling, ironically, I felt more caring from people in here than in a church. I have literally had people in here messaging me privately asking how I am over the years.

I think one of the most moving scenes for me was when Bella removed her wedding bands. That was huge in my opinion. I was never really one to wear my wedding band, I just don't like any jewelry, and now I am glad I didn't as I didn't have to remove it. I let my wife wear it all, she had three rings on one finger, LOL... engagement, wedding band and tenth anniversary band. Anyhow... been replaying this game from the start and discovering why I loved it so much. Some heart wrenching stories that hit home for me are Bella's, but also the MC's father breaking down crying when remembering Lynette's death. All signs of great writing though.

Nicole worked as a prostitute because she needed money
Strippers already earn a decent amount of money, there was no need for her to also work as a prostitute.

If we follow your logic, then Maya and Jill are whores because they let a guy they knew for 1 or 2 days spend the night with them.
when they "spent the night together" they didn't have sex! But even when it came to sex, they weren't paid for it. So what the hell are you talking about? Nicole is a whore, you admit it yourself. No matter how much you try to bend "my logic," this won't change.

I thought the different categories were clear for everybody :unsure:
