Status update Episode 9
Added 2022-06-10 16:38:38 +0000 UTC
This week I worked on static renders, a bit of coding/writing, and environment renders for one of the bigger free roam events of the episode.
Some scenes have been pretty complex to create due to the number of characters and details in them. I've completed a long scene with ~160 renders in it and some shorter scenes.
Somewhere over 1500 renders are fully produced. A rough estimate is that it puts image art at 35-45% completion.
Regarding animations, I've almost finished work on 8 lewd scenes, with more to come. I need to work on another lewd scene soon to build up the animation render queue.
It's hard to estimate how many animations are left to pose, but a gut feeling tells me we're somewhere along 40-60% completion with animations.
All writing/coding/phone content should be somewhere >80% complete.
Music/sound effects are ~20-30% complete.
I wish I could give a better estimate than this, but it's impossible, and guesses only make for disappointment. I don't want to limit my freedom during development by promising things too early. It would cause bad stress for me, and the best episodes are made when I'm enjoying what I do.
All-in-all, steady progress is being made.
This weekend, a new 2D poll will be live, with some side girls candidates for wallpaper and animation. Sign up as a +$10 patron to participate.
Have a nice weekend

2022-06-11 17:08:32 +0000 UTCThis is really awesome. I also had this moments there I made some different choices on purpose and even episodes later I have a slightly different scene - perfectly fitting in that moment. Sometimes it is only two different lines of dialogue. I did not expect THIS details at the time and only thought... WOW! So, yes DPC, take your time. And if you need two weeks checking the logic between all the branches, major, and minor choices... do it! :-)

2022-06-11 17:07:29 +0000 UTCI'd rather quit than hire someone. And I'm not quitting. It's a lot of work but I love doing it and I want it to be 100% me.

2022-06-11 07:52:27 +0000 UTCI put zero weight in coinciding release dates with in-game dates.

2022-06-11 07:51:52 +0000 UTCCake addressed that in an older post. I think there might be others for testing and errors. Though for story and content Cake works alone for quality control of the content.
This or That
2022-06-11 04:32:31 +0000 UTCI thought that myself. Time will tell.

2022-06-11 01:19:03 +0000 UTCI think things have been going smoothly with DPC doing it himself.
Scott
2022-06-11 01:17:19 +0000 UTCyou should think about hiring some employes to lower your work load.

2022-06-11 01:12:01 +0000 UTCYeah, Bella is always nice. Hard for her not to be. But, yeah I get it. I'm talking Sage. I keep doing something a little bit different and I get two different scenes at a certain point. It pretty much is messing with my mind at this point. I don't really know what is different. And I never want to lose to Tybalt in tennis. Ever.

2022-06-11 01:11:35 +0000 UTCI was thinking the release would be closer to Halloween since the episode is based on Halloween.. but now I know its only him on his own that might be to soon..

2022-06-10 23:37:53 +0000 UTCI try to change 1 or 2 variables and see what the result is. This time, I was friendly with Bella, but instead of being aggressive, passed up opportunities and remained at the friend level instead of love interest. It resulted in options for scenes that I hadn't seen before. My preference is the Jill path and a lot of times it's hard to avoid the Bella path unless you deliberately do so. This time I made it a point to, but she was still nice enough to cut MC's hair.

2022-06-10 22:56:55 +0000 UTCYeh just him. DPC prefers working solo.
Plebslayer
2022-06-10 22:41:17 +0000 UTCYeah, there has been a couple scenes I got randomly that are different in certain situations and I keep trying to figure out exactly how I got them.
Scott
2022-06-10 22:07:31 +0000 UTCIt must be something you enjoy! If it isn't I don't want to be a part of it. Quality over quantity any day.
Scott
2022-06-10 22:05:55 +0000 UTCHeck, I am doing replays and STILL finding content that I missed, so take your time.

2022-06-10 21:35:23 +0000 UTCIs it just yourself doing all this work?
Drac
2022-06-10 20:46:56 +0000 UTCsounds good! This is gonna be great. Have a weekend bro :)
2022-06-10 20:27:52 +0000 UTCThis was the perfect amount for an update. Honestly, I'd be happy with a list of percentages and just a couple sentences of update if you had nothing else you wanted to share.
