1.) good progress is being made, be excitedEpisode 6 - Progress Report #46
Hey everyone
I managed to finish renders today!
Here is the progress:
- Writing: 100%
- Coding: 100%
- Environments: 100%
- New Characters: 7/7
- Background Characters: 36/36
- Renders: 100%
- Part 1 (9:00pm): 852/852
- Part 2 (10:00pm): 457/457
- Part 3 (11:00pm): 632/632
- Part 4 (12:30am): 1033/1033
- Part 5 (2:00am): 604/604
- Part 6 (3:00am): 854/854
- Post-Processing: 75%
- Music/Sound: 0%
- Testing/Polish: 20%
Release date estimate: October 2025
This means we're sitting on a whopping 4432 renders for this release. Compare that to the second biggest episode (Ep. 5) with 2065 renders. In any case, I'm very happy to have finally completed this huge milestone.
So... what's left to do? The biggest thing is going to be music and SFX. I also have to post-process quite a few more images, and there's a pile of smaller to-do's like the recap at the start of the episode as well. Plus, with a release this big and with so many variables, much more testing will be needed than for earlier episodes.
None of these things are as unpredictable as renders though. So with renders out of the way, I'll make a proper release date announcement in the next couple days, so stay tuned for that .
❤ Thank you for your support! Enjoy your weekend! ❤
But... But... Then the player might actually have to think, or God forbid, make their own decisions!The game is not so hard. It is easy to do without in my opinion.
The long march is almost over!!!Episode 6 - Progress Report #46

Hopefully it will only take a week to finish the final details.
So between the 20th and 24th would be a good estimated date.
Just this one update4432 render just in this update or he mean all the game?
Nah its coming at the latest november 1, those things take way less time to work on than renders, should be one week for post and one for sounds/testing/polishing or two max for those things1.) good progress is being made, be excited
2.) she hasn't even touched Post/Sound/Testing in forever; and those are going to be the hardest things
3.) i foresee, at the VERY LEAST, *two* more weeks for Post, *one* additional week for Sound, and *three* more weeks for Testing-Polish before a release is even ready for upload
4.) my earliest estimate would be a Thanksgiving Holiday release, however, Post Processing for 4,000+ renders? anyone who knows anything about VNs or Renpy knows this is gonna be a huge time consumer - - also, anyone who has ever worked on a project for over a year straight knows that "testing" an annual release is going to get obsessive
5.) my comfortable release is December before Christmas
Me too, for a second I was like "do we get a third Progress Report poster?"Also @Jafo what happened to your face, mate? You got me really confused for a monent![]()
I agree the update took way too long but i doubt it will be underwhelming. the fact that its only 1 night is not that relevant. The number of renders matter and the update is the biggest so far. So the one night will be as long as 4-5 in game daysI hope this guy gets more patrons so he can buy a stronger/more pc's. Nearly a year for what is essentially going to be a single in game night of content I feel will end up underwhelming regardless of its quality.
This is true but as a Natasha fan it seems as though I will have to wait for the next chapter for that content. The other thing I like is the slow burn romance which has been the mom and fiona content so far. So the umpteen new NPC's you can casually drunkenly bang at the party also probably wont appeal much to me personally sadly. How 'good' the update is will be in the eyes of each player.I agree the update took way too long but i doubt it will be underwhelming. the fact that its only 1 night is not that relevant.

Unfortunately, this is most likely true and we will not see some characters in the new update, although who knows. But if this is so, then this is already a big minus!This is true but as a Natasha fan it seems as though I will have to wait for the next chapter for that content.

It's just a delicate balancing act really of oh well if you want to replay over and over again you can do so many things at this party, and that does benefit a big fan of the game for sure. But that depth over breadth could feel lackluster for someone focused on one route or the average joe passing through and trying the game out for one playthrough.
If the entire game was that deep it would solve that and be great but its not worth the rendering endeavour unless he had 4 pc's loaded with render gpus.
Let's all email Linus Tech tips and see if we can get him to build the dev a custom rig for a video
Not yet. But maybe in Chapter 6 during the party.Hey chat, I've got a question for you. I played up until chapter 3 and have since waited for a couple updates so I got a big chunk to play through instead of just tiny pieces. The pairing I'm most interested in in this VN is Ashe and her sister. Without spoiling anything, is there any progress on that storyline since chapter 3?
