I don't think so I think that was just a random makeout session for a typical party scene, I do believe that if we do become close to Riona she might perhaps confide in us and the MC could have the choice to help her out or reject her.
But it did seem rather odd, didn't it? Even the MC thought so. The MC has barely interacted with her, at least on my playthrough where I've only done the glory hole scene with her, so for her to suddenly want a kiss really felt like it came out of nowhere. Can't help but feel like there was more to it.

I believe she will play a big role can't be a coincidence that she has been getting a lot of attention from DPC lately
Getting attention from the dev means little when it could literally be anyone else. I meant more in the sense that she's very close with Quinn and more... aware? and conscious of whatever their planning which is weighing her mind. Plus she's seemingly the only person Quinn goes to whenever she starts planning something.

It was a random kiss nothing more or less. It's somewhat new to MC but not for her.

Well she seems very conflicted about what is happening with the prostitution ring money, so i wouldn't be surprised if later she decides to confide in the protagonist if he gets closer to her.

I think she is more concerned about Quinn than anything else as any friend would be I'd like to get a bit more on those two and their history but I do believe Riona is very loyal to Quinn but you can tell there is a lot weighing on her mind.
I wonder if the choice to kiss Riona at the party will factor in to that. If you do it, she might trust the MC more to help her if she's in too deep, and if you don't she won't.

We have to remember that Quinn slapped Riona in the face 'cos she told her somthing like "we have a problem because of your choices, now step back or fix it". Next, we had the scene in the HOT's house, where she was under the tree and she pratically told the MC that she's not really "in" all the HOT's stuff. At the end, that kiss on the couch at the party.

I know, it's the hope that speaks (and it's always the last to die), but I think that we can suppose that Riona will be something more that a side-pg in the whole game. We don't know how much longer it will goes. Maybe, and just maybe, she will have a chance.

Is it just me or did this last update make anyone want to say to hell with everyone else and make Sage MC's girlfriend? I mean she doesn't seem as bitchy as I first thought and the hots in general aren't really assholes ''Besides Quinn'', but I really like Sage shes tied at 1 with Jill for me with Maya hovering around.
I just go full blown DIK and get them all, kiss Jill and be friends with Maya n Josy. Gotta a CHICK playthrough finished too just cause I want to see where the story goes from both sides.

I have a feeling that that will get you nowhere with any of them in the end. They all, including Sage, seem like they want a guy who isn't a typical frat boy type and the Neutral and Chick paths might be the most optimal if you want to eventually end the game with the MC being in a relationship.

This week I mainly worked on the script and static renders. I posed ~330 renders and some animations as well.

1077 renders and 111 animations are complete, on top of that I have a healthy queue waiting to render.

I spent some time playtesting the update, to get a feel for it. It's going to be a fairly big one.

I can't accurately estimate how many renders are left to pose, but I think it will be more than 2000 renders and ~130-140 animations in total.

I bought more licensed songs for the game, but some of them are earmarked for future episodes, meaning I won't add everything at once. I'm definitely loving the new freedom I've gotten with using licensed music.

Jill won the poll for a longer animation, so look forward to that in Episode 5.

The Acting Lessons Lewd render set for Rena is now available in the $15 tier. Get it .

Have a nice weekend and stay safe

Considering that the last update had about 2800+ renders and 134 animations, I have no doubt that this next episode will be substantially bigger and wouldn't be surprised if we get more than 3000 renders. But that's part of what makes this game great; huge updates with lots of content. Nice to hear that DPC is making good, steady progress and keeping my fingers crossed that we'll get a good chat with Maya and Josy in this episode to sort things out a bit better.

So we are closing on the animation total of episode 4 and probably exceeding it. Beautiful
Every update has exceeded the previous in both renders and animations, so I expect this will also be the case again with Ep 5.

Ep 1: 1300+ renders, 51 animations
Ep 2: 1700+ renders, 77 animations
Ep 3: 2200+ renders, 98 animations
Ep 4:
2800+ renders, 143 animations

Correct. Still 143 animations were a lot, so to exceed that at the next update is impressive.

Indeed, DPC doesn't necessarily have to up the animations each time, it'll all depend on how many scenes they have planned that would require them. Even with Ep 5 sounding like it will be a bigger, longer update than Ep 4, it could have the same or fewer number of scenes where there would be animations, I just wouldn't be surprised if there were more, even if it's just 5-10 more.

Yup. It all depends whether the story has more or less lewd scenes (cause 90% of animations are mostly lewd scenes). Of course, as we dive more deeply into the story, intimate scenes will probably increase and also with more characters, so we are bound to reach a point where he will max out his animation output for a single update and see small variations of the final number.
