Status update + 10k patrons wallpaper
Added 2021-02-12 10:51:21 +0000 UTC
I've been very focused this week, working on the episode in chronological order. I played the episode, filling in blanks and improving the scenes as I went. This means I've been working on static renders, animations, phone content, dialogue, and music/sound effects.
I spent an afternoon taking an online course to get some fresh insight and ideas in cinematography as well. As a direct result of this, I added close to 100 static renders to improve episode 7.
The episode's layout is starting to come fully together, and I more or less know which scenes remain to write and pose.
I don't have many animations left to pose in total; I might add a few here and there as I develop the rest of the episode, but we're definitely close to the end in this area.
The most significant tasks left in the development are free roam events, static renders, and phone content.
2457 static renders and 212 animations have been produced. I have animations rendering right now and bring the total animation count to 222 animations when they are entirely produced. I don't have an estimation on how many static renders are left to pose, but I know it's plenty.
I didn't expect the animated content to be this much, and I went with the flow as I posed the animations, and I loved every second of it. It's definitely a next level episode in this regard, as I've focused on NSFW animations and made plenty of SFW animations to enhance the scenes.
Next week, I will continue to work in chronological order on the episode, so there will be progress in all areas in the next week's status update as well.
For the total progress so far, I estimate that I'm approximately 60-75% complete with the episode.
Poll News
In poll news, option number 3 won the cosmetic poll for Maya, with more than 50% of the total number of votes.

2021-02-16 03:15:32 +0000 UTCIf I'm not mistaken, NLT is another patreon, creator of Lust Epidemic, which can be found on steam.

2021-02-15 17:30:38 +0000 UTCIt's a AVN game dev. Their games are old school top-down adventure like games with some third person scenes. imo DPC does far better work.

2021-02-15 17:30:31 +0000 UTCwhat's "NLT"?
FrankiPresto
2021-02-15 06:32:05 +0000 UTCYeah, while no one would complain about more frequent updates, every time this gets brought up it is immediately dismissed. DPC has no interest whatsoever in ever bringing in anyone on the programming/art side and that is highly unlikely to ever change. To be fair, every update is sizeable and continues to be an improvement on the previous update, so he's definitely not struggling with how it is now. Really, he has no reason to bring anyone else on and most people are good with the wait.

2021-02-13 02:35:19 +0000 UTCYeah I get it...hopefully he can find a sweet spot someday where he can dole out the more menial work while still feeling in control.

2021-02-12 20:42:07 +0000 UTCIt's not about the money. He said numerous times that he doesn't want to hire anybody. He wants to do everything himself.

2021-02-12 20:33:34 +0000 UTCGood :) Thanks :)
2021-02-12 20:15:04 +0000 UTCTake your time the quality of this game has set the highest bar for creator content. It is the only game besides NLT that I have constantly supported every month.

2021-02-12 18:55:58 +0000 UTCGreat update and productivity as always - don't forget to schedule frequent breaks and downtime as a regular part of your work day.

2021-02-12 17:36:00 +0000 UTCSolid work. Hope that over time and increased contributions you're able to hire staff to do the menial parts of this so there can be scheduled monthly releases!

2021-02-12 15:53:21 +0000 UTCLiving legend! Thank you Doc for your diligence and constant communication with the fans, you're a rare breed of developer in today's industry!
2021-02-12 15:36:08 +0000 UTCAppreciate the hard work. The game really shows the hard work you've been doing. Keep it up!
2021-02-12 15:10:29 +0000 UTCIt is very weird to see the elements of Being A DIK in Acting Lessons. I can see how it might have at one point been connected.

2021-02-12 14:33:18 +0000 UTCYou work like a fiend, Doc. Looking forward to it.

2021-02-12 14:29:26 +0000 UTCI'm really curious that do you plan more leather or vynil outfits for the girls
AfterLife
2021-02-12 14:24:25 +0000 UTCI know that being with Jill requires having a pretty high Chik level, but as satisfying as it would be to earn the affection of the woman he obsesses over, slapping the fake tan off his face would come in a close second.

2021-02-12 11:36:52 +0000 UTCI will be very curious how we deal with tybalt (if the player is going down the jill branch), and what writing/story we get with derek and maya's father.
Jamison
2021-02-12 11:22:11 +0000 UTCGlad to see it'll have more animated content. Each episode is better than previous episode in quality.
Valkyr
2021-02-12 11:18:40 +0000 UTCmaybe, as DPC said 60%-75% done, plus you got beta testing, so one to three weeks. Could be first half of April as well.

2021-02-12 11:14:44 +0000 UTCAyyyyy, looks like a release in March!! :GiveBella: ππ»π³π€π»
