This.

It's really a pain looking through this thread for that ONE update news when it's drowned in hundreds of other comments about waifu and arguments. And you can't see Status Update on his patreon unless you're a patreon which is whack lol.

If only 1st post can be edited to reflect latest news but I get he probably got better things to do.

It's also a pain having to deal with lurkers who don't know how to use the search function or even just politely ask someone to link them to the latest status update.

Also, this is a discussion thread and we're discussing the game. Get used to it.

But since I'm not a petty person, I'll do you this one favour of providing the latest status update.

This week I've been coding and polishing the episode while the PCs render animations and static renders.

Approximately 50 static renders and 25 animations remain in the render queue.

Some of the animations are more demanding to render than others, meaning that the number of frames per animation and render speed per frame vary.

It's too early to try and predict the remaining time accurately, I have a few demanding animations left in the queue and also some faster ones to render.

I estimate that we're waiting for something like 2000-3000 animation frames to render in total.

I have plenty of things to do while waiting. This week I've been putting together the remaining free roam events and they are now playable.

The next week will be spent on playtesting the episode thoroughly, making sure everything I want in the episode is there and that the content is polished.

I have a bit of content left to produce for the phone and the free roam events, but not a lot.

The final few percent of every update, or any project really, are the ones that take the longest time. But rest assured that every day we're one day closer to the release of "Episode 6 - Damage control".

Have a nice weekend

We are simple men, thank you.

If you can spare one final question, I see N7 is both the thread creator and seemingly the one providing all the patreon updates. Is this accurate? If so we can just filter on his posts moving forward.

Not all the time, sometimes others provide the status updates. Just search the words "status update" and look for posts made on a Friday.

 

[SPACE_BOOOOOST]

Seriously. Im just looking for update news and it's just back and forths of,

"Wait did MC take the picture?"

"No man, her roommate is Josy! Its definitely Josy!"

"What the fuck are you talking about bro? It's clearly MC!"

Then that guy that went completely ballistic over someone calling Quinn not an actual route.

Jesus Christ man lol, does anyone actually give a fuck? Im just here for the update news and I will be out of you guys' hair.

It's almost like this is a forum thread specifically dedicated for people that want to discuss more than just release dates. What a crazy idea.

Sometimes there are other people posting updates but yeah, filtering posts by N7 is more likely to give you the updates. Another hint: advanced search also allows you to filter by dates and updates are always posted on Friday

Sometimes I think we could do with bringing back the 'Popular Games' section. Games like this would have their own sub-section with different threads and there could be a specific thread for all the "update when?" folks to ask their repetitive question.

The Dad's "birthday surprise" for MC

Sudden switch to J pov and seeing MC's dad doing him. Incenst & ntr hordes team up to invade the thread.

 

[Maviarab]

Trying to scroll through the thread looking for relevant info on the games status and updates instead of asking whats likely a repeat question... I feel like the guy who brought up the "waifu wars" that happens every other time I peer into this thread.

I wish there was a thread strictly for dev updates only. Going back 7 pages of people overanalyzing a 1 sentence twitter post with a picture is likely why these questions keep getting repeated.

Or you couls search for Dev, Status or Update....and change search to latest. Not difficult...

We'd likely still get some stragglers occasionally, people who can't be bothered to check back a few pages or just use the search bar probably won't always find the appropriate subsection either. But yeah, even if it only reduces the amount of repeated questions it's worth a try.

 

[Arigon]

meh
I think I have gotten over the desire to know when the next update is... Solution? Look at more games. Strangely, some of them are even better than this one... However, none have my true love Bella, so I am content to wade through whatever to see when I might glimpse new visions of her glory...!

Well, back when they had that Popular Games section, there would usually be stickied threads at the top for the main discussion and one for FAQs and technical questions which is where those folks would go. Might be a few who'd wander into the main thread, but at least they could be directed elsewhere and the posts removed.

I keep meaning to ask but keep forgetting, the picture of Jill on Bella's shoulders, has this any significance? Not really seen much talk about it.

That's Jill on her sister's shoulders, and the significance so far seems to be that it's in with a picture of Bella.

It has been discussed quite a bit and there has been some speculation that it might indicate a connection between Bella and Jill's sister which is why Bella acts like a protective older sister towards Jill.

 

[RunnyCapist]

I just finished chap 5 only to realised that there are no Jill or Bella scene yet and it's 4am right now and i have classes in the morning oh god oh why

DrPinkCake, if it's not a problem, can you say how is game selling on Steam ? I've bought it recently, seen lots of reviews, so I was wondering if sales are really through the roof, or the community is just very enthusiastic (also a good thing) ?

DPC no longer posts here, hasn't done since shortly after the game dropped.
