You must be registered to see the links You must be registered to see the links You must be registered to see the links This week I've mostly been writing, polishing the game and coding while letting the PCs render the queue. I've posed some animations and static renders as well, so it's moving forward in all areas. I'm almost finished writing, I have some phone content left and material for two free roam events. 2879 renders and 116 animations are complete. The queue has 125 renders and 37 animations; meaning we're currently at 3004 renders and 153 animations for this update when everything has rendered. I will be focusing on posing art next week. I have roughly 10-15 animations left to pose along with 150-300 static renders. After I have posed everything I'll try to estimate the remaining render time. When all art is posed and I have to wait for it to render, I will playtest and polish the game myself. After that beta testing and proofreading will start, a process that takes approximately two weeks. Given the size and content of the episode, two weeks will likely be needed. I haven't checked the file size of the game for this episode until now, and the zip file of the full download is currently 10.4 GB. I don't think it will be more than 11 GB, but that's the approximate space you will need for the game upon release (plus space for extracting the files of course). Have a nice weekend Dr PinkCake

I don't understand english very well, but did DPC say that we'll have the update in 2 weeks or just he needs 2 weeks to finish before testing ?

Interesting. Anyone can link where we have the renders for each of the past episodes ? Curious to compare

As i imagined we are likely going to get a mid of october release.

Quinn is not just any secondary character

get over it

I believe that became likely when he started putting her on banners.

Neither. He's saying he'll probably need 2 weeks for testing, but that's after he's done what's left which currently consists of:

• A queue of 125 renders and 37 animations
• Roughly 10-15 animations he has left to pose and render
• 150-300 static renders to pose and render
• Phone content
• 2 free-roam events
• Coding.

That might all take another few weeks, then DPC will playtest and polish it before sending it to the testers and that might take 2 weeks. So end of October/start of November is looking most likely.

Regarding updates etc, when a vn is updated. How do you handle the installation? Just unzip the new update and overwrite the old folder?

Im starting to get multiple givers for thre sake vn street a few updates. I don't want to screw with losing saves etc.

Maybe Lynette was Jill’s older sister that died when Jill was very young. She moved away and was disowned by her family. I see a family resemblance there.

No, Lynette was MC's father... Bella is his mother and Neil stole MC at the hospital and tell him a fake story. So Lynette and Bella were depressed, did break up. Thanks to surgery, Lynette is now Jade Burke. Then, Bella married this guy who run away for 3 years. That's why Jade is angry with Bella because she's still angry for the loss of their baby. Neil will give the letter to MC to tell him all the truth and MC will know he fucks his real father ! In the end, only Derek should be able to comfort Mc and they're happy and get no child...

Thanks, i almost hope we could get this update in 2 weeks... a little bit naive.

2 ways of getting the update:

1. Get the whole game which will be around 11GB according to DPC
2. Get the update patch, which will be considerably smaller at around 2GB, and apply it to the current copy you have of the game (best to probably have 0.5.2).

Option 2 will overwrite some files, like the Season 2 .rpy files and probably the gallery and gui .rpy files since we're getting a new look Special Render menu, but it shouldn't mess with the saves files so long as they were all made with the clean version and not the mod version.

Kinda loking forward to seeing how many renders each character gets in this one. Maya's still way out in the lead with both renders (1245) and animations (73), so it will be interesting to see if she stretches that lead further or if anyone can catch up.

Yeah I use mods (walkthrough and gallery mods)

Well, if you've made saves with those mods (i.e. you made changes to stats, etc, and saved the game), they won't work with the patch update. You need a clean, unmodded version of the game and clean unmodded saves to be able to continue.

Is it bad I have a 1tb ssd dedicated to vn's?
And it's already half filled?

Dude You need a gf xD

I download several at a time, haven't played them all yet. I also haven't deleted anything either.

I date around but nothing serious as I work 50-60 hrs a week. My job is stressful enough, so when I get home, I make dinner, relax and maybe check out a vn. A steady gf would be nice, but at my age it's s but more involved.

Thanks! The 3004 renders and 153 animations are the final figure or estimated for now and will probably grow? Anyone knows?

this continuous increase in renders and animations as players can only please us, but doesn't it make you fear that the times between one episode and the next may expand?

I have too many semi-lost games in my heart ...

Don't take my comment seriously, I was just kidding, I don't have that many games, but I must have almost 60gb

No. I don't think he'll ever go beyond 5 months per update, and whilst that is still a long time considering how many possible episodes there still are (10 more episodes x 5 months = 4.2 years), the quality you get for it is worth the wait.

you don't need to start a new clean save, simply use the "DETECTED MOD" ERROR FIX and you'll be good to go.
