[blaxz1337]

Today is 2021. I want to play in this game, but last version is 0.6.1 and I complete this. Please, complete this game to 1.0.0, I want to see finish of this game, please! Please! I love some characters and now I can't sleep because I think only about them. Please, I need this...

All right. Dr PinkCake had no plans to finish this game but after sending this message to his agent he has changed his mind. Sadly, he can change the fact that tomorrow will still be 2021 but at least he *will* finish the game now.

HOW CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE YOURSELF AFTER THIS ?

Am i the only one in team Sally? I know, she's an annoying brat, but there is something about her.

Hey guys, I have some missed scenes in my current game. Is there a list of all sex scenes so that I can learn the girls in my missed scenes?

Have a look :

Разработчики должны знать, что JPEG-это самый эффективный формат для сохранения изображений, похожих на фотографии, а не PNG. mozJpeg by Mozilla is at the moment among the most efficient jpeg encoders.
Возьмите это изображение ниже в качестве примера, это изображение в PNG было 11.22 МБ, в Jpeg-375 КБ (это не совсем то же самое, я отредактировал кожу, и это BW), но с цветом это примерно то же самое. Просто сохранение в формате JPG со штаб - квартирой позволило бы значительно уменьшить размер загрузки. Next year there will be probably a newer and more efficient official Jpeg standard.

В этом нет необходимости. Вы можете автоматизировать обработку файлов, очевидно, это не похоже на ручное редактирование каждого изображения, но даже не калиброванное редактирование может улучшить ситуацию. I also suspect that his issue if with DAZ settings or the textures he uses, but I have never used DAZ so I really don't know if that's the case.

JPEG only spoils the photo, accept it, and live with it

Calm down, my good man. DPC will finish the games. In the beginning, many felt like you. It will work out, trust us all.

Tip: When you read theories, don't take them too much to heart. Especially not mine.

Well, we certainly hope he finishes the game.

We're talking about time travel now.

The long waits between releases lead our minds to strange places...

ename144 get in here you tri beta. Give me some facts.

Well, if you insist.

This week I focused on producing static renders and working on a free-roam event.

The animation playtime of this episode alone is now over 18 minutes, which is a +110% increase compared to episode 6. I think I've produced all animations needed, but a few scenes remain to be written.

The static render count of 3505 has also officially surpassed episode 6.

To show you the work I have left to do, I can try to make a bullet point list of it:

Missing content:

• Static renders for a handful of scenes (Estimation: 200-1000 renders)
• The final free-roam event is ~50% done
• 2 new/updated features need coding/art
• 3 scenes haven't been written yet
• Any animation(s) for the unwritten scenes
• Content for 2 mini-games
• Add sound and music for ~30% of the update
• Phone content (Mainly chats/Rooster/phone calls)

Other development activities:

• Meticulously play and polish the update
• Double-check variables, choices, branches
• Compatibility test changes with older saves
• Rewrite/trim/touch up scenes after playing
• Initial spellcheck before proofreading

After this, beta testing and proofreading will start, which will get the time it needs to make sure that the new features work.

10,000 Patrons wallpaper series
For the seventeenth wallpaper, I give you Quinn.

Only 2 wallpapers remain in the series.

Have a nice weekend

This week we learned that DPC completed 614 statics renders in the last two weeks. No word on animations, but it sounds like they probably remain at 236. If we dust off our charts and add this information, we get the following:

Spoiler: New Charts

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Despite the paucity of numbers, we still got some significant information. First, DPC hit a new record average static render rate of 307 statics per week, which definitely implies he has more time to throw at the statics as other tasks are completed. But the big news is that DPC quietly dropped the expected total render count from 3891-5391 to 3705-4505 - nearly 500 statics fewer at the average.

Based on the new total, DPC could conceivably be ready for playtesting by next week at the earliest (low total and he keeps up the current pace), or by April 9 at the worst case (high total and drops back to a more typical render pace). It's difficult to determine exactly how much time the remaining tasks he listed might divert from his render rate. I suspect he'll drop the static render pace slightly as he finishes up the coding and the final render count will be about 4100.

My best guess is he'll be ready for playtest in about two weeks, with Episode 7 to launch on April 9. It could be April 16 if the coding takes longer than I think, and maybe April 2 is possible if everything goes smoothly). There's still a lot of variables, but I think we're getting close to reliable estimates now.

Kudos to Quinn for not only securing a dark background for her wallpaper, but also managing to project a bit of personality instead of standing there like a mannequin. I'd probably still put Sage or Envy ahead of her, but Quinn's giving them a run for the money. Let's hope the last two wallpapers can be more like this.

Games like this make me wish time travel existed so that I could get a copy of the final version.

The best part is that you would know how it ends so you'd look like a genius making accurate theories here.

My real name is Marty McFly.

Travel to the future then come back to now and start making theories people will call crazy, but you know they're true.

Even if you knew exactly what was going to happen, you’d still receive your (un)fair share of face palms and eye rolls.

I’d prefer the opposite to going ahead and seeing the finished product. I’d prefer to go back to before I’d ever played it and enjoy it all for the first time again. Having said that, if I’m sacrificing all of my memories from now to back when I started this game, just to enjoy a porn game, maybe I need to check my priorities...

If the best thing we can think to do with time travel is using it to play completed porn game in the future, maybe it is we who need to check our priorities.

I'd rather believe that our lives are currently so complete and fullfilling, BaDIK's ending is all that is missing. Yes, I'd rather believe that...

Man, Quinn's wallpaper just shits all over Jill's.

Ya, I'm obviously biased since I do like Quinn, but holy hell, ya that wallpaper shits on every other wallpaper that's released so far...wow.

The downside is I am not encouraged by his update...sounds like it's gonna be a while.

 

[Ilhares]

He's a 40 something year old man, who we know is having sexual relations with 18 year olds.

That's close enough to say he has no issues going a few years younger.

No, man. Just no. Not even remotely the same ballpark. Even if he did dip a few years younger (which there's been zero evidence for), they aren't pre-pubescent, ergo not pedo.

There are *a lot* of people in their 40s (and older) still banging the teenage/early 20s crowd, and that's before we dip into the escorts/whoring populace.

In-game, you've effectively painted Bella/Envy/Jade/Cathy with that same brush because of their age differences with the MC. And poor Derek with the old teacher. Oof.

And I don't think any of them would be dipping down into the 'illegal' years for a dalliance. Except Derek, of course.

 

[Razrback16]

WOW.. This is incredible work.
However it means file size is going to go upwards as well. 10 GB is already too big to download for me and I believe many others like me. Also if I'm forced to download the compressed version for the same reason like many others it will be a real pity.

Ya the file size is why I am a huge fan of torrents over file hosters - filehosters have limitations and have a tendency to drop connections at times especially when they get overloaded, forcing some folks to have to start the download over. I'd love to see a torrent always uploaded even for the patches / updates as they would allow us to help seed for each other. With P2P torrents the download and sharing can be very efficient if people do try to seed at least 1:1 for each other.

For me, file size is never a concern, ultimately I just want the highest possible quality even if it means the game is 100GB or more, but torrents will fix any issues with inconsistent hosting services.

I don't see the problem with this

 

[Razrback16]

There's already a lot to do in the game and just piling up different mini-games for the sake of it isn't really constructive. Not to mention some are downright buggy and annoying, like the trace-a-path game, but they still take a while to develop. Even if you remove all the mini-games it's still going to be very far from a space-bar simulator because there are a whole lot of choices to make. Fewer but more thought-out mini-games would feel better and leave more time for actually progressing the story. Although at this point it seems like they're intentionally added for the sake of padding out the episodes and prolonging the longevity of this project beyond the scope of the original story.

Yep, I'd be a big fan of dialing down some features in the game like the free roaming and some of the mini games to just get good, solid, story progression. That's not to say I hate the mini games or the free roaming, only that we don't need 'more' of it than we're already getting.

A focus on the story renders + animations, and story progression side events like Rooster & Texting are far more valuable to me than 'paint the fence' mini games.

Am i the only one in team Sally? I know, she's an annoying brat, but there is something about her.

I wouldn't say I'm on 'team sally', but I wouldn't mind seeing the MC take her for a roll in the sheets if she comes to another DIK party or something while he's still single. She's cute and looks really good in her little sorceress outfit.

JPEG only spoils the photo, accept it, and live with it

I think you do not know what you are talking about. Jpeg can be also uncompressed, so retaining full informations (that's a waste of space, obviously). What is the reason that all photos are jpg and not PNG? Have you ever downloaded a porn photo in your life? Ever taken a photo with a camera?
