Status update Episode 12
Happy Friday!
I had a great week. I completed 4 scenes with no art or dialogue, and worked through several other scenes that were almost finished but were missing some content.
I continued playing my Others' branch playthrough all the way to the end, and I had a blast. The branch and variation I played is something that I don't believe most will play, but it was quite the experience. Even knowing every bit of the episode, I'm still surprised by how it turned out. I enjoyed it a lot, and I got goosebumps playing some scenes that I've dreamt of creating since the early days of this project. It's been like seven years since I planned those scenes, and they are finally in the game. This is such an amazing journey seeing it all come together like that.
After completing the playthrough, I continued by making the rest of the missing clucks. Rooster is now done! I cannot preview all the clucks, though, because of spoiler reasons. But there are more clucks incoming to my social media channels.
I also completed additional GUI art for a specific episode feature, and I have worked extensively on SFX for a large area that needed it. I probably spent 8-10 hours messing around with this new feature, both to polish and playtest it, and also because it was so damned enjoyable to play. I know I will play around with that feature on every playthrough because it's addictive.
Right now, before jumping on a main girl branch playthrough, I'm fixing glaring errors I encountered during my playthrough. This is often something I leave for the polishing phase, but I felt like it would be nice to play the next playthrough with all those issues fixed.
There's so much I'd want to share about the experience I had this week, but I will have to bite my tongue. The episode is coming together nicely.
I'm sure I will have a much different experience playing the episode next week, and there are still scenes left to create on other branches.
I have updated the graph showing where the gaps in the episode are located.
Not in order: those gaps are one canon scene, multiple scenes for the main girl branches, and a small free roam event. Aside from those gaps, I have content left in the main girl branches that aren't shown on the graph. I will have to play the main girl branches to figure out how much more is needed.
Next week, I will continue playing and stop to create missing content.
I didn't complete the sound effects and music work on my Others' branch playthrough - I got until the midway point or so. I aim to add more SFX and music during my next playthrough.
Have a nice weekend

Funny thing with the game(s) each playtru I find some new stuff. And I have one playtru on each girl(that I think are the only ones that can have one) But today I did another playtru and all of a sudden there was a surprice and I found a girl that was possible to have even another playtru with lol. Not saying who it is, since you all have to find out yourself lol Happy gaming
I hope you will reveal sometime what section you played. I would like to play it myself, if for no reason than the hype.
"It's been like seven years since I planned those scenes, and they are finally in the game. " Congrats DPC. Those things makings most devs happy - Finally getting to something after a long time. :)
Which others branch did you play? I'm curious as you said it was something most won't see 🤔
I would like to know that, too, and if I have a fitting save.
This guy; playing games on the job! You really hyped it up, and now I have to do a playthrough to hold me over. Sounds like you created some wicked content there, and I am excited to be coerced into tears or fears when the time comes!
Wow! It's nice to see that bar being filled up with green! It feels like your work is advancing steadily which makes me very hopeful. From past experience, it's always a good sign that you're starting to play the episode to see what content needs to be added or improved. It usually means that the final release is not that far away although there's still a considerable amount of work to be done. Take care of yourself!
Nice one DPC. Enjoy your weekend.
I really cannot believe how much a part of my life this game became. I played ALL of the branches, again, with Jade variations, in prep for 12.
Jade is such a sweetie-pie (EDIT - WOAH! I don't know how I did it, but I saw "Nicole" when you clearly typed "Jade." Then I even repeated it and still didn't catch my error. Jade is DEFINITELY not a sweetie-pie! Not to knock her, but I was thinking of Nicole and just had a small psychotic episode there. Sorry about that.)
Wooow, another big progress!!!
Nice update
compared to the last graph's update; you seem to have completed about 80% in just 6-7 weeks! OOOOOHHHHHH.... it's getting close!!!!! Seems like you have enjoyed the 'others' playthrough and I'm getting excited myself just reading the post. lol Hopefully find out 'Cinderella's' name?
It would be hilarious if it ends up trully being Cinderella. :D
Such a great update. My anticipation is rising continously. Thanks for all your hard work! Have a great weekend, everyone!
Makes me super excited to hear your excited!
These updates always bring a smile to my face, I appreciate your hard work Pink!!
Thanks for the update Doc! It warms the heart to know that something you’ve planned for 7 years is finally coming to fruition and in a way that gratifies yourself. I am writing a book myself and there are ideas that have been there from years ago that I am still not putting to pen because I can’t get put them down in a way that I can consider worthy of the idea so really happy for you and dying to see how it turns out. Take care of yourself Doc.
'Others' path confirmed the best by author himself, wrap it up non-believers

After reading the update I am deffo not jealous!! Well,maybe a little. OK,I wand to sit beside U whilst your working (I'll provide drinks).
NNNGGGGAARRRRRGGHHH! I can't wait! Give me a release date, so I can clear my calendar! :D :D
Alas, Doc has been pretty consistent on "it is done when it is done" as a philosophy. You will probably be able to tell when it will be roughly, when it goes into internal playtesting though.
so pumped sadlty it will be a long time for me once it is out but that looks awesome
Be aware of the April fools DIKS
There won't be any this year. Don't listen to him... ;-)
I hope for full date Rio or Lily too. The "Slowdown" mode during Lily's lewd scene in 11 was sooo HOT. I am so invested in the story i downloaded the Patreon version so i can play it early. I will be getting it on Steam for those Achievements haha. I had played PURE DIK Others so far but now i will be playing PURE Chicks S.O.'s lines next so im excited for that. I personally struggle with the party planning but that's just a personal issue of indecision on my part
I hope we get to see Rio 100% but we'll see since she did get beat up last episode, poor Rio. About Lily, yeah I agree on how the "slowdown" part during her lewd scene being so HOT! That's my preferred choice during that scene and has me excited on how she's going to act around MC since she walked out of his room.
Awesome news sounds like your very close to the finishing line you are amazing with all you do can't wait to start the season I know it's going to be amazing until next time look after yourself take plenty of time for yourself and I look forward to seeing the next update
Hi
Thanks for the update.👍❤️😊
I just want to full date Quinn
Thanks for the exciting news, good Doctor!
I always see the banner with 6 main girls, but I think an argument can be made that there are 10 "main girls". I count rio, nicole, lily and zoey as well
I cannot wait! 🖐💀🖐
So exciting!
I so wanted a route or scene with Karen, love me some nerds
Awesome! That graph is starting to look nice a full. Thank you for the update Doc 🍺😎👍
Thanks for the update.
this is the only VN i enjoy going back for multiple playthroughs. so, I'll see all your efforts.
We all enjoy this journey with you!
It's great to see your enthusiasm for this weekly update; it brings me great joy to see the episode progressing and taking shape. Thank you for your effort. Have a good one Pink.
Looking very good.
Seeing a lot of green, which is good Can't wait to see Mommy again
Have you been very naughty during her abscence? :D
New Maya content soon lets goooooo
I'm very curious and excited by that new feature you've teased here. I bet it's gonna a right banger. Overall it sounds like the episode is coming together nicely and I, for one, can't wait!
What path is canon?
There is no cannon path. But the one path that shows the story with no girl interactions other than friends is interesting . Doing a Celibate path is interesting .
Awesome news have a great weekend
that's an impressive update, good job
I want my girl Riona healed, and I certainly want my revenge on Vinny. We shall not forget, DIK's!
Glad to see I'm the not the only one invested in Rio's full and speedy recovery.
When is the steam release due for?
It's great to hear that your visions from the start are coming to fruition, not many creators get to do that, And even less get to do that while maintaining top quality. From where the game started, it has made great strides and sometimes it's like we're not even playing a visual novel at all. Thanks for all the hard work DPC.
It certainly is an argument for keeping creative control so there's no dilution of the artistic vision he's had for the project.
I can taste episode 12…it’s so close!
I CANT WAIT TO FUCK THEM ALL! I’M GONNA CUM!!!
