Status update Episode 12
Happy Friday!
This week, I've worked on a plethora of things. Let's take them one by one.
Pack Quest: Done! I added all the art, coded all the buttons, tested it, and it works. I hope it's trickier than Episode 11, but not too tricky.
Steam achievements: I have coded additional achievements based on Episode 12 and the season as a whole. I also created the art for those. I'm now up to 47 Steam achievements for Season 3.
Special renders: Normally, I create the Special render sets early in each episode's development, but I haven't begun on these yet. This week, I placed all the magazines in the game and made sure they work. We're talking hidden buttons in the story, magazines during free roam events, mini-game unlocks, the Vault, and other kinds of unlocks. As soon as I make the SR sets, this area will be completed. I'm not getting around to making the SR sets yet; I have other things I'd rather work on right now. And both Isabella and Camila deserve my undivided attention for their SR sets.
The Vault: It was a minor thing to complete, but nevertheless, the digits are in the episode, and the Vault works.
Miscellaneous: I've made some minor tweaks to the main menu and added some missing 2D art to the game.
I continued to play a main girl branch and added two scenes to it. I wrote and created the art and animations needed. I'm roughly halfway through this branch and will continue with it next week.
I have worked plenty more on music and SFX. I want to add more songs to the silent areas of the episode, which means deciding whether to add new songs or reuse old ones. At the moment, episode 12 has 21 new songs, but I have 19 more I haven't added yet. I will likely add 10+ of those to this episode during next week.
When playing, I'm also making notes here and there about things to fix and stopping to make necessary changes, ranging from missing renders to weird dialogue and wrong code.
The render queue is still massive - 108 animations. 3 PCs are working on 6 slow-to-render animations, while the rest are working on faster animations. I'm seeing a higher frames-completed-per-day rate than in previous weeks, and I'm hoping this trend continues.
On a final note, I hope I didn't fool too many with my silly April Fool's joke. I don't use any AI in my work, nor do I intend to. It's just not for me.
Have a nice weekend

Zero AI. Respect
It's nice to hear that the episode is slowly taking its final form. What you took care this week are those little things that make your game so polished and full of surprises. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like the final lap before the release of episode 12 is already well engaged. I can't wait for that moment. Have an happy Easter with friends and family Doc!
How long now
Thanks for the update, Doc! Stay awesome.
Can't wait for this episode!
You are a workaholic, a MACHINE! I'm really hoping for a summer-time release. These huge gaps between episodes really decrease my natural interest for the game, but when these episodes start to get close, I get reeled back in haha. Still wondering if I'll even make it to see the conclusion of the game.
Good stuff DPC. Enjoy your weekend
The newest update must be huge this time as it's already April and still no release yet.
Just finished a playthough of all routes ready to go when the new update comes out can't wait
You probably should do it again from scratch, just in case, don't you think?
👌💕👍
And I wish, you could add achievements for the GOG release, too... would be cool, to replay all the paths hunting for the achievements.
Interesting. I can see the finish line slowly but steadily coming nearer. Hope you get some time with your family during Easter, Pink. Happy Easter to everybody!
Thanks :-)
Thanks for the hard work, DPC! Enjoy your Easter weekend!
Thanks for the update, and happy easter.👍❤️😊
The music for this AVN is leagues above the rest. I play the music app in the background on favorites all the time. I really like the verity of music styles as well. Hopefully we can hear a DPC original again
There may be a couple in the mix.
It's moving forward!
