Status update Episode 12
I had a great week because it felt like it went by in a flash, and every day was shorter than I wanted.
I started by wrapping up work on a lewd scene and planned to continue to work on another lewd scene. But I ended up playing the episode and writing, and I went with the flow. I wrote more scenes and then started working on a big free roam event for the episode.
The free roam event will need a bunch of animations, which is why I felt I could start work on it. I spent one day planning it by compiling notes, outlining the flow of events, and mapping the layouts of the environments. To show you some behind-the-scenes, here is how this process can look on my end (all text has been redacted).
The free roam event has new environments, which is exciting, but that also means much more work. I have been working on the environment design for several days, and it's starting to come together. I have a few more areas to design before I can continue with the next step, which is dressing all the characters. All 87 of them. This is the biggest number of characters I've had in a single free roam event. Just dressing them will take at least two days, and I'm hoping to get a poll out of it, too.
After I'm done with that, I will start writing dialogue for the planned events and begin posing animations. I've got exciting weeks ahead of me, and I will alternate between working on this free roam event and on lewd scenes.
The animation queue I tried to build with the lewd scene I finished earlier this week is looking too slim for my liking. Hopefully, I can fix that next week. Oh, what a wonderful problem to have.
This week, I also finalized work on the special part of this project that I started way earlier in this development cycle. And I've also worked on the Steam/GOG trailers for Season 3—they are almost finished. I have locked in the episode 12 title and written a synopsis for the store pages as well. You'll learn more details about all of this in an upcoming announcement.
Have a nice weekend

are you working on this whole thing alone? because if so thats insane.. you push out the same quality and just as fast if not faster than most visual novels with 10+ devs
Sounds amazing doesn't sound like it's going to be to much longer but don't burn yourself out take care of yourself I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say thank you for this amazing game one of the best in a long time and you do what most gaming companies don't do which is update us regularly and tell us the plan for the game without releasing spoilers etc keep up the amazing work you are doing
Always enjoy seeing how behind the scenes tidbits like this! Looking forward to the update!

Great work Doc - so please let me know - in what building will i find Quinn ? 😁🥰👊
Maybe an adjoining jailcell after we kick the crap out of Vinny? 🤞
87? I think we see 91 characters until now damn
87? damn, ty for the amazing work, keep it up
Can you give some more information about the screenshot without spoiling anything? What does it show us? Are these the rooms and connections, events or scenes, characters in it? What do the colors mean. I am really interested, how such a free roam is planned, but I can't really understand the image. If it's too much for a comment here, I will note it down for the next Q&A. Thanks, Pink!
Those are all potential paths that you can take. It lays out what happens based on the choices you make
Wow, 87 characters. Were there even so many in episode 1 at all? This will be an awesome episode! Have a nice weekend everybody!
I'm a simple guy: I hear Dr Pink say he's happy and had a great week with development, that makes me happy and excited in turn.
