Yet for some reason the writing for them is weaker than for the other girls (Even some of the side girls). Maya was cute & fun at first but once Josy came in she stopped existing as her own character and just became boring. Josy was always kind of bland in terms of personality.I wouldn't go that far but all the forced content makes it seem that way.
I think I can do only one list becauseOK, so based on some recent comments, let's start an interesting game (or at least try to): list your top 5 side girls. (You must be registered to see the links.)
I've gone for 2 types of lists; the first one is the side girls who I'd prefer a proper relationship with, and the other is the side girls who I'd just wanna fuck.
Relationship Just Fuckin'
I must say that one of the side girls, but perhaps she is also less than secondary, to whom I feel most fond of is Cathy, although objectively I think she is one of the least beautiful.OK, so based on some recent comments, let's start an interesting game (or at least try to): list your top 5 side girls.

1010 renders and 57 animations already??? that's insane
This week I've been doing bits of everything, but I've mostly been focusing on producing art.
I spent some time studying and learning new things as well. This time, I dug deeper into animations and image processing. I discovered some new neat stuff that I will use from now on when producing animations.
The walkthrough is written and will be published after proofreading, polishing, and testing. It should be sometime next week.
The first-ever "submit your custom render ideas" post was posted for the Vice President tier this week. At the end of each month, I will handpick 4 entries and produce them for next month's custom render post. If you're a Vice President/President, you can submit your idea before the end of DecemberYou must be registered to see the links.
Currently, a poll for "Special renders: Other girls" is live. As a +$10 patron, you can participate in itYou must be registered to see the links.
Regarding the development of episode 7, everything is going great. I've been posing longer animations to keep the PCs busy. I haven't quite gotten used to the new workflow yet, but I will eventually.
Thus far, I have produced 1010 static renders and 57 animations.
Next week I will continue to pose animations, but also start writing more of the dialogue.
Codewise, I have a lot to do as well, since there will be a fairly big and exciting update to an existing feature in the game. I'll talk more about this and show you some previews at a later time in the development.
Have a nice weekend!

During the confrontation with burke when MC is having Jade, she mentions that there is a pre-nup as the reason he doesn't just bail on the marriage... the implication being she would be able to walk away with serious cash, if she can prove infidelity then how much more so... unless she was the one in the much lower economic position this would be a reason why She hasn't left, she would be poor. I could be wrong; she could be the wealthier one, and with a pre-nup he would walk away with empty pockets and wouldn't have his fun money anymore... but then why hasn't the feminist dumped the serial adulterer?OK wild theory time. ....What if the Wallace scholarship is from Jade's family? ...
so...its 1/4 of the episode done allready ?

Added Episode 6 that includesThus far, I have produced 1010 static renders and 57 animations.
If I know how to do rudimentary maths
With the same content as EP6, we could hit a 3-months/updates, crazy.
- EP6 had 509 seconds of animations, that's 15270 frames, so 38 days of 24/24 rendering with the new GPUs.
- Including the additional 3336 renders it's a grand total of around 47 days of rendering.
Sounds like he'll be taking DnG to a whole new level! So exciting!!!there will be a fairly big and exciting update to an existing feature in the game.
I was thinking of rebuilding the DIK mansion system and the smartphoneSounds like he'll be taking DnG to a whole new level! So exciting!!!
I was only joking about DnG, but it's interesting to consider what it will be. Maybe a fight club or something.I was thinking of rebuilding the DIK mansion system and the smartphone
That really is amazing progress. Rendering times are obviously much quicker with the new GPU’s. That’s essentially 1/3 of the assets in the space of 3 weeks. Of course he hasn’t mentioned writing, or if he’s planning any new mechanics yet. Hopefully back to shorter 3/4 month updates periods.

Today, the v0.6.1 patch was made available for the $5 tier. Please note that you need the full Patreon version (v0.5.0 up to v0.6.0) to be able to patch the game to v0.6.1.
This week I've been writing and posing animations while testing the new GPUs.
The speed is truly amazing and I've been increasing the length of the animations so far and also increased the render quality.
42 animations of varied length (1-20 seconds) are complete already.
I've estimated that the efficiency of these cards is 400 frames (or static renders), per day. 400 frames is equal to a ~13.3s animation @30fps.
Just as I thought, the bottleneck has thus shifted from animations to manual labor; including writing, coding, posing renders, post-processing art, and more.
When it comes to future updates, the goal for me isn't to stress and release them faster, but to include the content I want and increase the quality of the art.
If an update is released faster than usual, it's a happy bonus. Regardless, development has gotten a huge boost, all thanks to you.
Poll news
The winner in the poll for an extra wallpaper was Jill with the option front focus. I will order and include this 2D wallpaper in Episode 7.
In December, there will be new polls to participate in.
Walkthrough news
I will write the walkthrough soon and release it to the $15 tier. It should be ready sometime in early to mid-December.
Getting the development for episode 7 up and running smoothly takes priority at the moment.
Have a nice weekend

So it seems DPC is continuing to produce renders, though not at as high a pace. Animations rate dropped by about 22%, and statics by roughly 47% (though we don't have solid weekly numbers here). This reinforces the idea that posing is the real bottleneck now, so DPC probably worries less about building up a consistent queue and assumes he can burn through whatever poses fairly quickly. That's clearly good, but it may make predictions harder. Still, here are some graphs to give some idea of how we're looking compared to Episode 6:

Like I said it's a wild theory. Nevertheless if money is the only issue then for a poor Jade it argues that she should have already divorced him. With no pre-nup her lawyer would have gotten a big settlement (actually the pre-nup doesn't matter either, a lawyer friend of mine has told me before that pre-nup's are ridiculously easy to break in court). So I don't think money is why she decided to not to divorce him. Maybe we'll find out more about that in future episode's.During the confrontation with burke when MC is having Jade, she mentions that there is a pre-nup as the reason he doesn't just bail on the marriage... the implication being she would be able to walk away with serious cash, if she can prove infidelity then how much more so... unless she was the one in the much lower economic position this would be a reason why She hasn't left, she would be poor. I could be wrong; she could be the wealthier one, and with a pre-nup he would walk away with empty pockets and wouldn't have his fun money anymore... but then why hasn't the feminist dumped the serial adulterer?
