Well,acting lessons was a step too far and Leah was a psycho so it's different. But I'd like to see a reaction not only from a person we cheated on,but also from people close to them. For example if we were in an exclusive relationship with Ellen,cheating on her should cause Gloria to dislike us,or Abby to dislike us If we were to cheat on Chandra (if we were exclusive ofc). It seems obvious that it should also inflict the story,let's say you cheated on Katie and your group got into a fight,and she can heal you or another wounded person. Normally she would treat your wounds,but If you cheated,she might choose the other person,
Frankly, in AL the Leah twist is a perfect instance of deus ex machina in a vacuum - very contrived and very artificial, that only serves as a shock (rather sadistic) content injector and a channel of shifting the genre to a dark thriller.
Unlike AL, dark sequences in DA are pertinent as they do not look like a bolt from the blue - this VN feels dark and full of horrible secrets since the start, it doesn't abruptly switch its creative direction for no good reason.

Other than that I entirely agree on your train of thought and examples.

Speaking of deus ex machina, I hope we won't experience anything like this in CoBD. It's like if we find out that Abby is a deep infiltration mole with some personal stake in Jake who imitated her cinder addiction and a damsel in distress situation to stay out of suspicion and to curry favor with Jake to some extent or sort of that. Then she will murder Victoria out of jealousy and take out Ellen and Katie, because they know too much of Baynard, by forcing us to choose who will die first in a fire while everyone will blame and hate Jake for those disasters.

Chandra: I am sad, Abby.
Abby: For what, Chandy?
Chandra: I've been reading some comments over there in the F95 zone and it seems most of the members there are perverts.

Weird fact:
Almost every render of Shanlon (even in the Donut adventures comics even custom ones) got her head cropped so a part of her head is always off-screen as opposed to every other character :cautious:

God damn...

You make me curious. What comics is these what you talking about? Is that exclusive content for Patreons or something like that?

That's true - the supporters exclusive content. I briefly described the substance of these comics in my earlier post. The Donut (Gloria's teddy bear) adventure with Shanlon is the only canon one among the comics with a minor contribution to the VN lore.

If you guys think you got blue-balled with Jill and Isabella in BaDIK, you haven't yet watched Donut suffering :cry:
Poor Donut suffers severely because Alexis is mediocre at fulfilling his marital duties. If someone is incapable to properly and duly ride his broad, which is with attitude, then other people (kids, pets, toys etc.) will suffer in pain. Very life-relevant I have to say.

5 so far for the $20/Augment tier and higher....along side other bonus material.
[PERSUASION REQUIRED 100] Well, I'm broke at the moment, but doesn't hurt to dream that someday I'll be able to see these comics. I don't have the courage to beg, but who knows, some good soul might have a kind heart to share these comics with us someday... who knows when the game project is finished? :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

Okay, so I stuck with the same game plan as the week before and I think that has worked out well for me. Also started into renders again late this week.
So a few more renders were added bringing it over 900 now, I only have a handful of animations left and those will be very large that I will save till the final phase when things go into testing.
Then as for testing I hope that starts in a couple weeks. So yes, things are getting close :p
This one will be a more straight forward run with many small variations throughout.
Also to free up things quickly this month so ease that final stress mode I think I will do the monthly customs next week so expect a poll on Monday or Tuesday for that.
As always guys, stay awesome!

Another week, another disappointingly vague dev diary. I'm getting the shakes, here!

Philly has now rendered "over 900" static images. That means he's completed somewhere between 26 and 124 renders in the last two weeks, but it certainly sounds like it's closer to the 26. We're clearly close to the final animation totals, too, but we haven't had an animation count in a while. So let's update the charts as best we can.

We're within easy striking range of the likely target static/animation numbers, but Philly thinks it will be at least 2 weeks before testing begins; I'd say art is not going to be the gating feature for Chapter 10. That being the case, Philly's estimate is probably our best measure. If all goes well and we assume 2 more weeks for testing, we'd be looking at a late August release. But it would not surprise me if it gets bumped into September. We'll see soon enough.

As for the Shanlon preview, I wonder how she fits into events. I was hoping we might start ratcheting up the tension and tightening the focus, but that's not easy to combine with visiting Shanlon in her hot tub. Of course Shanlon can be a very interesting character if she's there for more than just depraved sex, so I'm not giving up hope yet.
