Status update + Survey

DPC man your work is so underrated this effort you put deserves way more than what you get. And I am looking forward to your new work 😍😍😍😍. And I am looking forward to more Bella scenes

Alex Art

Sadly I read on a board the creator said there will be no tie in with lessons and it's a different 'universe' but dpc knows best for great story, it won't need to tie to AC 🙂

Gritty1983

i thought of that way back when i started playing Ep 1 but i wasnt sure if this was wayyy before Acting lessons or wayy after haha

Americansx

looking forward to the new episode!!(I love Maya btw 😶)

Patrick S

Story is really amazing DPC!! Question that i wonder and maybe i am the only one.... i remember in acting lessons the MC and Liam mention they were in the DIK fraternity.. My jaw would literally drop if Liam showed up in a later season with Acting lessons MC. Would love to see more flashbacks of Vinny, Tommy, Rusty etc in future eps. Its cool to see the pieces of the story come together and you keep the player guessing on what is really going on constantly...

Gritty1983

30 animations!! i keep thinking there is no way Quinn is not involved with MC and like 3 girls lol

Gritty1983

i played through numerous times. (i originally bought steam version) So did a Dik, neutral, chik run so thats 3. Then was impatient for season 2, became a patreon, got this version for episode 5 and did a dik run so far. so 4,5ish for me

Gritty1983

I love Sage and Maya so much, thank you for your work and I can’t wait to experience the rest of their relationships

Pi3

I played through the 1st 4 Episodes over 10 times in about week. Lock down and all going on, after all that build up Episode 5 was alright. I am sure Episode 6 will surpass, the previous 5 in Content and Quality.

Alpha Protagonist

Even if it doesn't lead anywhere, it plays into the whole "Chick" "Dik" factor. The chick side plays more into actual love in terms of a relationship, and the dik side plays into lust, as it fits the theme.

me

I'll play some inspirational montage music in your honor, Doc. LET'S GOOO!

Lematico

While I agree that she might come around, she is more than a little obsessed over him, despite the way he treats her. In real life I've seen this and it never works out to a healthy relationship. The best that would *rationally* occur is that she would latch onto some (different) abusive person. I would not want that to be our MC. She's just not good relationship material, per her character - so suddenly becoming one would destroy the finely crafted plot that has so far made this game so great. Just my 2 cents worth.

Doug Bliss

Keep up the great work DPC, you put so many other game developers to shame with how hard you work and how much you care about your game. Can't wait for episode 6!

Wesley

Ehi doc! Keep going on!!!!! We love huge update more than wait little to have little update! WE like big things :D So wish u all an happy summer and happy work!

SkyIT#7086

Fantastic. Just fantastic :)

Thank you DPC. Phenomenal work!

EPM

longer animations for isabella and jill, they haven't gotten any sex scenes yet so it might as well be some really solid ones for them

Thank you for the update DPC, keep up the awesome work :) we're all rooting for you

Touhara Kiminonawa

Admittedly, I confused Mona's name for Nora as well, which doesn't help make her a real option.

Tehkeela Suhnrayze

im on 19th

Ruthless

I think i got 7 dedicated paths with a lot of partial playthroughs (depending on main girl mostly). And every time since episode 3 when a new episode comes out, there is at least one complete playthrough scheduled. So like......8 playthroughs till now, give or take.

Flover

I've played through at least 3 times now, each with a goal. Once trying to maintain all DIK affinity and status...another trying to maintain as Neutral as possible, and another all CHIK affinity and status

Daniel C

The only reason ive had to play it so much is because I had to factory reset my pc 2 times

Ruthless

I see a lot of people talking about sage and how it won‘t lead anywhere. Chad is still her BG and with the last sentence of ep5 2 hots wanna text chad to tell him what is happening. After he is gone she will probably become less moody and more loving, as for now you are just fuck buddies

YoBoiFlowsen

I've only played through it once so far, but I tend to wait for more content before I plow through a few times - otherwise I get bored. Plenty of other games and VN's out there, it's not that bad to wait for additional content.

Jeff Sandau

Doh - yes, my bad - I mean Mona. "Is she going to be a problem?" Quinn asks Camila after she failed to satisfy Prof. Burke at the dreadful Alpha Nu Omega party. Yes, she's a background character, likely to be made an example of Quinns darker side - which is also part of Quinn being a no-go for anything but play time.

Doug Bliss

The only Nora i found in the game was one of the chats in the Swyper app on hte MC's phone.

Scout Charger

Who is Nora? I played through all the episodes but I never found a character named Nora

Simon Håkansson

I kinda see Jill and Isabella as the only true options, and maybe both of them as the only ending that fits the characters. I just see the others either having no real outcome (Sage and Josy), or getting way too dark (Nora and Maya).

Tehkeela Suhnrayze

Sorry I have a Question For everyone! So I hope im not the only one that has played this a lot. Please reply to this on how many times you've played through.... Because I feel like I have the highest....

Ruthless

Oh, also MUST resolve the trip home and package! That can't wait! (the uber-predictable trust fund from Gramps, perhaps?)

Doug Bliss

I know I'm in the cheap seats here, but I can't wait to find out how dark the Mona arc goes (hopefully not *too* dark, but knowing how you went with Acting Lessons I have to just cross my fingers...). And of course, I can't wait to see what options are available to pull bella out of her sadness (tough choices between Jill and Bella ahead?). While I can see the allure of Sage's character, I just don't see any future in that relationship - the story would be too quixotic to hold meaning apart from the frat ties (feel free to surprise me...). Josy and Maya share a similar fate to me - lack of story continuity apart from being a monkey wrench on other options. They immediately confessed their love for each other and all I get is a notable mention as an afterthought?!? I can't see being their comfort blanket when the other isn't available or their door mat when they have an urge. I was a bit upset we didn't have the option to just tell them to Feck off altogether. (Edit: Who TF is Nora, anyway?!?)

Doug Bliss

Seriously cannot wait to see MC with Bella and Jill...too f'ing hot! Probly as a post already said cuz Jill is a virgin makes this even more appealing. Also know that MC has a massive hole in his heart for both Maya and Josie...this is a no brainer and simply must happen soon. Great capacity for lots of fun going on with this VN.

DSpeed 99

So it's pay to play, and the more you pay the more your vote is valued. That seems both insulting and makes me question if anyone who isn't in the higher tiers should even bother voting. If the $10 tier can simply be disregarded because the other tiers vote differently then is there even any value in having the $10 poll? You're free to structure you tiers and rewards however you like, but this leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It does not encourage greater participation.

SpitztheGreat

Just became a patron and you are a master of your craft sir! I EAGERLY await the antics our MC has in store for him!

EPM

I'd rather leave actual acts up to DPK, rather than having him contrive a reason for said act, especially if it doesn't fit the character.

RiffRaff

Ah man, everyone seems so vanilla 😂. Don’t get me wrong DPC’s storytelling and emotional depth are awesome and my main save I try and act as I would irl but sometimes I just want to get wild on one of my saves and be an absolute uncaring DIK who screws around with all the girls for fun. Give me some kinky options!

Average Joe

Funny - no one chose the option for Longer sessions with Dad encouraging MC to get a good Education and always wear condoms!

RogueRat

I damn near picked every option, because they're so good.

Angel

We need some more fights with all alphas and any new characters if any. Make it look like more college experience. Jealous, lust, stud, genius and what not.

EvonIk

Maya is so completely inexperienced with guys - yet she Wants to please MC so badly - she needs to read up on swallowing and deepthroating and then offer it.

RogueRat

Longer kinkier scene's with Sage, Josy and Maya threesome and 1st time sex with Jill make it special seeing how she is a Virgin. Oh yeah and one hell of a kinky scene with Lily would be nice.

Alpha Protagonist

We work with what we have, and i am just thankful to be able to give an opinion even if it's a small one

Phillip

Just like pokemon, gota catch em all!

Phillip

True.

Article V

Good point, ChickenBall!

Article V

Sounds like it’s going to be a hell of an update, can’t wait to play it!

Julian Harper

@Phillip I know it's just a typo, but DrOinkCake 🐷🎂 is just too funny. LOL!

ChickenBall

I'm hoping that for those who actually get turned off by certain fetishes, that there will be an option to not see them.

ChickenBall

Josy and Maya , or Jill

MLink

This is because Patreon doesn't have a power vote feature and higher tiers have the added advantage of getting more power in polls. I need to make separate polls for this reason. I wish I could just do one poll with different powers per tier, but Patreon hasn't implemented this suggestion.

DrPinkCake

I don't understand, why are there so many polls and why do they conflict with one another? It doesn't make sense to me that there are 4 concurrent polls and that the results of some overrule others.

SpitztheGreat

On the hands of a lazy developer, a longer loop per se might really not mean much, just more of the same. I think if the Doc went that route he would use the extra time do spice things up throwing different actions into the mix

TheSeeker

Agreed!! haha

Phillip

The consensus is Doc, you can only keep sex with Bella away from us for so long. Me, id like a long scene with Bella's friend.

Joshua Entrekin

I'm sure if the scene were made is would be worth-while and not just repetitive, DrOinkCake seems to know the right balance, love it, what a dem genius!!

Phillip

I love how you continually improve your skills and efficiency. It shows in the final product, in both the quality AND sheer volume of work you put out.

tezster

Isabella needs that ass to get anal’ed for sure, it would be a crime not to haha

Phillip

Oops, I didn't see Always Absent made almost the same comment as I did, my bad. Thanks for answering ;)

TheSeeker

Depends on several factors. When I do these polls for all main girls and someone wins who doesn't have a lewd scene in that episode, they would get the latter type. A poll can also be designed so that it's not for a specific character more like "young vs old" or "HOT vs NOT", to not spoil who gets a lewd scene.

DrPinkCake

Do "longer animations" mean longer loops (inside sex scenes) or cinematic animations (characters walking, panning etc)?

TheSeeker

Just-...More Bella!! ❤😳 Yeeee-haw BELLA WINS!!!

Sadie Adler

Take all the time you need to perfect this new style/work flow. I know I speak for a lot of us when I say that any additional time needed to get things just right is absolutely worth it. The amount of detail that goes into the story and poses is absolutely amazing. No matter what happens, we’ll be eagerly awaiting what comes next. =D

Ian O'Sullivan

Makes me wonder who's the lucky one 😅

Nick Ohlsson

Votes should be to encourage options that Dr. Pinkcake may be unsure about including. In other words, if the Doc feels he's pushing the limit too far, then add a vote so that he knows whether to abort or explore the thought.

Article V

I'm nervous about voting on "kinkier poses" because if "spanking" or "deepthroat" are considered kinky options, then they'll always win because a large group is rarely creative; and if "footjob" is in the list, then the very vocal, single-minded foot fetish guys will all vote on that. I just see this poll as getting unnaturally lopsided without much rationalization of thought into each vote. I'd love this type of vote if it only included poses/actions that do NOT include spanking, footjob, and deepthroat. I trust Dr. Pinkcake on those options and don't need to vote to encourage him to include something he'll likely do or has done anyway. Grab a kamasutra and get creative!

Article V

It's sadly never Quinn.

Article V

Longer animation: Sage. She's my favorite of all the girls. By the way, is the Irish, or of recent Irish descent? I ask because I've noticed in lewd scenes she's very pale. Reminds me of WWE's Shaemus.

R.w.Foster

"~30 animations for just one particular lewd scene" how can you not love this dude?

TheSeeker

This sounds awesome mate. Glad to hear you're perfecting a new set of skills to make the process a bit easier for yourself. I think this is what makes your game so damn good is that you can always tell you're trying to learn and implement new things. That massive free roam event in ep 5 was a good example of this. Was so much fun to play and added a lot of variety. I do hope you make some time for yourself to relax the brain if you need it. Also very necessary for the creative process ;-) keep up the great work!

Del

Last option. Focus

Thanks for the response. That being the case, then I’m all for all of the options

Always86

Great, looking forward to it then !

Maxyoo28

Thanks for the status update and your hard work, DPC! Enjoy the weekend and stay safe!

Messè

It's a nice idea that I thought about adding a long time ago but never got around to it. I will have to change the special render page this episode since I've added more girls to these polls anyway. And that could be a perfect opportunity to take this into consideration.

DrPinkCake

The winners of these kinds of polls in the past end up in scenes where they are most appropriate and don't feel misplaced. I wouldn't put an option in a poll if I knew I couldn't implement it naturally in a lewd scene. It's very important that it fits in the scene for me. For Ep5, Jill won the longer animation poll, she got 2 longer kissing animations in her scene (20 seconds total, 15 days to render for one PC). That's an example of how the winning option got tailored to the lewd scene and not how a lewd scene or option was added just because it won a poll. The same reasoning would go for "where to cum". Let's say I did a BJ scene and the winner of a poll said facial, but I intended doing swallow. In that case, I would do both and have an option for it. Both fit the context and is a matter of preference.

DrPinkCake

I'll second this idea - there are now so many special renders it is hard to spot which character they have increased for. :D

Tony Durrant

Didn’t vote for 1 or 5. I’d like to think, where appropriate, all those more basic things will happen for each character anyway. Longer animation is nice, but given the amount of animation you do already I’m not sure where it makes a difference. What are the examples of a longer animation so far? Where to cum is nice, but almost rather this was just context appropriate. So BJ might be swallow or facial. Anal might be butt or back, missionary might be cream pie or stomach. I guess what I’m getting at is I sort of think use your judgment. Perhaps these questions would be better related to a ‘bonus’. Meaning you make the scene you want and then we can vote to add a spanking for Maya or a facial for Josy. Etc

Always86

Just a quick suggestion that crosses my mind : when we collect special renders in the game, we should have like a little notification in the renders page to know who we just collected (like a "!" on the top right corner of the concerned character) because right now, I take on a note the renders count for each character to not miss any, and this would help a lot :D

Maxyoo28

All of the above....=)

Valkyrie65

It’s 3 am here and so many votes.

Blanconino

All of the above lmao<3
