Status update Episode 9
Added 2022-09-04 13:16:22 +0000 UTC
Here's an attempt at a status update to give you some stats as I wanted for Friday.
Work completed:
- 3652 renders (3569 produced and 83 in the render queue)
- 211 animations (201 animations produced, 10 in the render queue)
- 22 songs
Work that remains:
- 8 scenes left to write
- 50 scenes left to pose art for (~1000 more static renders)
- 3-4 lewd scenes to make animations for (<100 animations)
- Make some missing GUI for the new mini-game.
- Write some code needed for other mini-games.
- Add music (almost done)
- Add SFX (almost done)
- Rooster (90% done)
- Other phone content (Phone chats/Calls, Bios, Stats, Pack Quest, Vault)
- Collectibles (special renders/2D art/scenes) - Only testing remains
- Playtest and polish
- Verify bug fixes from the Interlude.
Overall completion:
My best shot at estimating a completion % right now is:
Static renders: 79%
Animations: 70% (based on animation count, not duration. The longest animations are almost done, so this number should increase faster from now on.)
Writing/Coding: 95%
Render and animation numbers are based on a target of ~4652 renders and 300 animations; subject to change if needed.
The writing/coding percentage is my gut feeling.
Further insight:
Lately, I've done most of Rooster, the main menu art, Jill's special render set, and placement of magazines/unlockables. These tasks require a lot from me, and I'm happy I'm close to done with all of them.
Long animations have been rendering for the last month, and I haven't been animating a lot which is why this count isn't much bigger than the last report I did.
The longest animation I've done to date has almost been completely rendered. It's currently 1 minute 16 seconds (2281 renders) long. It needs a few more hundreds of renders before PCs are freed up for other animations; this should happen before next Friday.
Threesome animations are still in the render queue and have been there for the last two months. They take a very long time to render but are worth it.
I will have a split focus on renders and animations in the upcoming weeks.
I hope you had a nice weekend! I'm still a bit tired, but I've rested and am fit to work again.
Thanks again for your amazing support. I couldn't ask for a better community.

2022-09-06 23:51:36 +0000 UTCThe Maya and Josy path feels like the most natural one in a weird way. The Isabella path was the more compelling to me. The Jill path was the most romantic. I can't quite explain why Sage's path appeals to me so much but it does, all I can say is that I sense it will be very rewarding too. They're all so great in their own way. The only path that made me deeply uncomfortable was my full DIK playthrough where I chose nobody, that was... unpleasent.
Beautiful Bro
2022-09-06 21:50:34 +0000 UTCI put myself in line. Acting Lessons introduced me to this kind of games an Being a Dik keeps me there. Tried some other AVNs but they don't have the Dr to make them great.

2022-09-06 18:32:32 +0000 UTCTo each their own dude, I think Maya is one of the least! Josy having an anal scene would be epic as she and the MC seem to smash way more than MC & Maya. Hell, getting an anal scene with Isabella would be insane as her path was very rewarding! lol

2022-09-06 17:13:40 +0000 UTCCan't wait I have replayed S1 & S2 two more times to get other outcomes while waiting :) I will playthrough each S3 episode 3 times for each playthrough! I love this world you created DPC!

2022-09-06 17:09:28 +0000 UTCGood stuff. This is one of the best adult games/VN's out there. I'm hoping sincerely that you are finding a way (in the upcoming 0.9 release) to have Maya do her first anal scene. She's by far the hottest character/personality in the game - and her "exploring" her bisexuality further would also be super hot.

2022-09-05 17:26:50 +0000 UTCThis release, while big, is smaller in download size. That should have a noticeable effect on the perceived chaos. Episode 8 release was a nightmare in terms of server load, I cannot argue that.

2022-09-05 16:08:58 +0000 UTCSame.. never saw myself playing AVNs yet after acting lessons and BaD I've been hooked lol

2022-09-05 13:43:42 +0000 UTCA year ago, I'd never have guessed I'd play something like this. And here I am.. I miss my bros, friends, girls, humor, everything.

2022-09-05 10:15:42 +0000 UTCI know, there are likely reasons, but, as we get closer to release I wonder about what will happen with the release, the last few have been chaotic with everyone trying to download at the same time and wonder if creating a torrent would help alleviate issues without enabling pirates.

2022-09-05 02:48:59 +0000 UTCFirstly thank you for all your hard work! It seems you are spoiling us this episode with everything in it which I am sure no body has an issue with :D. I hope after this release you are able to take a well needed break.

2022-09-05 00:43:47 +0000 UTCFirst, thank you for the status update. Didn't expect it after what happened with that "game-stealing mongrel" . Second , I just stumbled upon this post by accident. No E-Mail arrived at my adress, was that intentional? Have a good night and a good week.
