• With the 6 Animations left, should be complete next week with previous average saw at 6.+/Week
• The next week locked for animation, then 2 weeks of intensive testing, it's December for sure.
• EP10 might still orbiting for a painful 365 days of Development Time threshold.
• If no more expected, there will be 30 Preview and 8 Rooster. Versus 22/6 for EP9.
• ElectronicRoberts did an interesting mapping of all the various teasers giving an idea of EP10 content.
• Release could be 7th December (356 days / 11 months, 21 days / 51 weeks projection). 92% complete.

[felicemastronzo]

So probably a November release?

I would say, on the contrary, that, like the last updare, it establishes December as the month of release

 

[Dolorem0317]

And of course... many people treat this thread like its something official... and dont understand that this is mostly a pirate site and DPC isnt even around here. Maybe only to see which user he can ban from discord and patreon f95 users are a huge red-flag for him

SHHHHHHHHHHH..........it

 

[PeopleCallMeSmile]

And its clear that she kinda likes the mc (especially in episode 8) but Love? With Quinn? I dont see that coming.

You serious? She's the one that's more in love with the MC, maybe at the same level as Josy, check the looks she gives MC everytime he does/says something nice to her, or when after EP 6 she get's jelous or hurt if you go your way with Sage.
Once MC says to her he fought Vinny she shows a worried look and tells him to stay away from that guy.

So if a real "love" route can work with her... she has to change in some big ways to go down a "love" route. And really... i dont see that for quinn.

This is only me but I think she's going to listen to Riona's sake and she's going to drop her criminal business at some point once "something" happens, maybe a hurt MC or something.
And there are many things that aren't answered yet, like, what happened with her father? What's going on with her book? What's her career? And so on. I know some people don't like to go around with these things but they are going to be pretty important in the future if you go Quinn's route, and little things like keeping it in your pants are going to mean something at some point.

So, never say never if you pay close attention at the details.

 

[The Dick]

So, Quinn is one of the main LIs now?

Has always been; will always be

 

[Abhai]

If my memory serves me well he usually releases episode 3 weeks after final status update so December 8th is most likely

YOU GOTTA STOP SPREADING FALSE HOPES ABOUT A NOVEMBER RELEASE

Don't expect anything before the second week of December.

Didnt he thoroughly test this update himself?
As no update has been tested ever before?
Shouldnt that make beta-testing much faster?
Oh, wait...

 

[always86]

That's an insane render speed, wonder if those animations were particularly short.

That would make sense since the remaning animations are from lewd scenes and those are mostly <4s.

Those animations are also most likely not 60fps.

Yeah, he’d been averaging 6-7 with some systems upgraded and some not, and some animations at 60 fps and some not. So having 3 systems upgraded plus presumably shorter animations as well as no statics to occupy a system means those numbers aren’t too surprising.

 

[dwayne22]

release 1 december or 8 december?

 

[hakuna-matata]

While the "his dad just didn't tell him" argument has always been there, wether people claim it for story telling purposes or some internal reasons of Neil, no father would deny his sone half of his lineage to save him from disappointment or almost anything else for that matter.

Like yea, I could see a point being made, that if Lynette's father was the head of a columbian cartel and Neil would try to keep his son safe, but that's the level of concern it would take to just string your son along for 19 years and not let him know about his own lineage.

And a last name by itself is not as potent as a diary for instance in terms of handing over resources to discover the truth.

Like I said before, there are a shitload of stupid storylines in the game, but this one is just 50 steps too far into the abyss. If it turns out that the MC is really related in any way to a Burgmeister or Royce I would be more shocked than if Arieth won a nobel prize in advanced theoretical physics. It would be the cheapest, downright embarassing, way to build a connection between characters, by just refusing to reveal it a few dozen times, just to have one huge reveal.

It's the most retarded storyline in the game. No family name on a legal document like an inheritance. MC never asked the question "Dad, what's mom's last name?" You leave out the mom's family name on school forms. You tell the secretary she's referred to only as Lynette, like the singer Prince.

MC: I got an inheritance
Rando: From who?
MC: Some chick named Lynette
Rando: Doesn't it say a family name on there?
MC: No

100% MC is going to be a Burgmeister. It's going to be a huge revelation. He's reading the diary "OMG I'm Burgmeister! How can this be!?!" Like a fucking retard.

 

[lorkdubo]

release 1 december or 8 december?

I can see an update on December 1st.

SHHHHHHHHHHH..........it

He used to be here, probably still is and lurking. Or maybe he's here, under another name. *looks at dalli_x and felicemastronzo and points at both*

 

[TimHawk]

It's the most retarded storyline in the game. No family name on a legal document like an inheritance.

MC: I got an inheritance
Rando: From who?
MC: Some chick named Lynette
Rando: Doesn't it say a family name on there?
MC: No

100% MC is going to be a Burgmeister. It's going to be a huge revelation. He's reading the diary "OMG I'm Burgmeister! How can this be!?!" Like a fucking retard.

You're at least someone who gets that the MC didnt inherit shit that day, and that Neil simply handed him a box he had stored away for xx years. When that scene happened I had to write multiple posts to explain that inheriting something is governed by laws and no your dad can't just sign for it. And of course the biggest fail of all time: You inherit when a person dies, NOT when you come of legal age.

And I haven't yet lost all hope that DPC won't sink so low and make the MC a burgmeister, he will probably have a connection to someone we know, but Burgmeister or Royce ? NO ! Just hell no, I refuse to believe anyone can write that badly, it would make the tuition crap look like pulitzer material.

 

[DarkMage73]

So probably a November release?

I'd say more like the beginning of December, first 2 weeks in Decmber there about.

Fuck, Now I'm afraid that's what will happen, and DPC will be so proud of himself telling everyone he foreshadowed this in that scene

I believe an inheritance can be left in a trust to be unlocked at a certain age(depending on what's written in the legal docs) when you're a minor. Those docs would still have names on them.

MC received Monopoly money, but can't tell the difference because he's too retarded.

You're 100% right, but the person would be informed about his/her pending inheritance and the guardian/trustee of the inheritance would have to act in the best interests of the beneficiary of the inheritance, or in other words throwing it into a box and storing it in your cellar would be a crime.

There are exactly two possibilities, someone gave Neil the box or Neil had it all along. And given that the MC was 3 weeks shy of turning 19, it's highly unlikely that anyone actually died.

Someone wanted the MC to have that box and we can only hope it was someone other than just DPC for story purposes.

 

[Darkwen]

Well, that's a dissapointing number of animations left to render. Should take them a week to render.

Considering that, beta should only start next weekend which means 24/11 has no chances left.

01/12 then, almost there, I hope the update is worth the wait.

How is this disappointing while you could be right and the renders take a week that seems pretty slow even for DPC. They will probably be done by midweek. 12-1 is probably the most likely date but who knows maybe we get lucky

 

[ChipLecsap]

I think Fuckface will be a Burgmeister, he can't be a Royce because incest. DPC has been doesn't do subtle and we can see the link with the Royce house in the Lynette photo, as well as Rusty's quote in ep 9.

I hope he won't, I hope dpc is deep down better than that.

On this I expend what little optimism I have left for this game.

The fact that we do not know Lynette's surname does not mean that MC does not know it.

then we don't know his either
in fact
