Status update Episode 12
Hey, all. It's been a rough week for me. The flu I woke up with last Friday got pretty intense, and I'm still feeling some of the symptoms today. But it has been going in the right direction since Tuesday, and I have been able to work since the end of the weekend. It reminds me a lot of how I felt the time I caught COVID, so I'm not ruling out that it's a similar bug again.
Bleh! I'll be fully back on track in a few days from now, and I am working as normal now, so that's good.
I finished the special scene I had been working on, and with that, I had caught up on all writing for completed scenes. Since then, I have played the episode, fixed things here and there, planned and focused on writing dialogue. I will continue focusing on writing in the upcoming week.
The overall progress of episode 12 development at the moment is the following.
Static renders are probably around 30-35% done for the episode.
Posed animations are higher and estimated at 40-45%.
I have barely started with music and sound effects work; it will wait for later.
Here is an image showing the episode 12 timeline and how the scenes with completed art are distributed throughout the episode.
As you can tell, I've primarily been working chronologically, with some exceptions here and there. I have created a lot of canon content for the episode so far.
Poll news
Thanks for commenting on who you wanted to see get a poll next. I have decided which girl gets it and designed a poll that I will post this weekend.
Have a nice weekend

Get well soon, Doc!
It's a shame that you catched the flu, but I'm glad that most of it is behind you. Thank you for your hard work. It seems like it's going well. Having nearly 50% of the animations already done is very impressive considering that I believe that you only started working full time on the episode 12 in April from memory. It feels that the development is pretty fast with your new rigs in comparison to episode 11. I can't wait to see how the plot points revealed in episode 11's conclusion will actually be resolved! It feels like a lot of big stuff is happening all at once and there will be a lot of major storms that are gathering. It might be one of the most important episodes to date. I particularly can't wait to see how the fateful Christmas party will resolve and I want to try to make Jill love the Spring Break like the MC promised. I think this gonna be a blast! The growing love story with Sage will also be very endearing I think. I'm still postively shaken about Sage and the MC declaring love to each others. It was one of the cutest moments of episode 11. :)
Happy you feel better man, keep kicking ass, and everyone have a good rest of the weekend.
Glad to hear that you are feeling better! Thanks for summing up the status. I decided for a 12-month membership in May... have the feeling, that will hit relatively close to the release :-D

Can't wait to see the poll,hepe you feel better Doc.
Flu? Fridays?? The original opening is coming back brothers haha. Just kidding it's a reach, all coincidental.
Hello Doc, I've been battling this cold for almost two weeks now. I think I'll be back to my old self by the weekend. I wish you a speedy recovery with all my heart. I'm so excited about this particular scene. Let's see which one of us figures out what it was after episode 12 is released. The animations are already about 40-45% complete? That's amazing, I wouldn't have thought so. Thanks for the update in any case. 2026 is definitely going to be a great year. I would love to know which lady you chose. Maybe Quinn, Riona, or Sally? I can live with any of the three. Get well soon and see you next week.
I hope you get well soon Lil my brother ! 👊
Yeah Doc, i hope you feel better, thx for the update whatever bla bla bla…😂 The only real question is here… Doc - Where is QUINN ? 😈😈😈
🤣... my brother.... she's missing because IT'S SO OBVIOUS. She's coming next in the Poll.
I've been teaching myself Daz3d and it sure brings a new appreciation on how much effort it takes to fully develop a single scene let alone a complete story. Keep up the amazing work!
Why on earth are you not living in a plastic,air-filtered,bubble?? Stick a bed & toilet in and have all food delivered by Amazon & local eateries.You know it makes sense. p.s.Get well.
Thank you always for your dedication, it's been sometime since I comment on your update and it feels nice being here again. Get well soon and take great care as I know you want to push yourself to create this fantastic episode for us as soon as you can. Can't wait to hear more soon! Though I still keep myself from spoilers since I haven't played 10 and 11 xDD.
Thanks for the update Pink, glad you're feeling better you are the best!
Thanks for the update, Pink - hope you continue to feel better as the days go by.
