Status update Episode 7
This week I've been working on many different things, so there's been progress in every area. I will focus on writing next week, as I've posed so much art that I need more dialogue to continue.
Animations are rendering like crazy. The animation count is a nice number to look at, but what's even nicer and more illustrative of the content is the playtime for the animations.
So far, the playtime is 6 min 3 seconds for the current completed animations. Compare this to episode 6 playtime, 8 min and 26 seconds, and you'll realize that the new cards managed to render approximately 75% of the animation content in episode 6 in about one month. I am so excited about this!
A lot of manual work remains, so we'll see what the state of the game will be in a month from now. I'm pushing as hard as possible, but Christmas is around the corner and I will be taking a few days off to celebrate with my family.
Polls
In poll news, it was a really close poll that just ended. Camila and Riona were battling for the top spot and the winner with a mere 82 vote margin was Riona. She will get a special render set in episode 7.
A new poll will soon start where you can vote on what Isabella will wear in one of the scenes in episode 7.
Have a nice weekend!

Happy Holiday everyone!
No worries Holidays is meant to be spent with family. we all need a break!
Thanks for the update Dr. P. Please take some rest and enjoy time with the fam.
Thanks for the update DrPinkCake 🖤
I just feel sorry for those poor souls that had to sit and wait for the final episodes of Acting Lessons, with their hearts smashed into pieces. Even though the final product is amazing, the wait must have been terrible. I wish we don't have to go through something similar.
you know we will, that crazy warning when you first play the game about being in a 'dark' place.... yea we will see eventually what that warning is referring to... I'll prolly have to get professional help after one of these amazing characters has doom befall them
With the way you are going about it, maybe it will be as much content with a quicker release than episode 6. Who knows? I'm not rushing it. Just pleased you were able to take t to the next level. Which is always good no matter how good the work that is already presented. Looking forward to more! The way the story is progressing, it's like the further I get, the more I'm eager to see what happens next.
Damn, to think there's another 3 to 5 months to wait for another episode. And with such a dramatic cliffhanger. Such a torture...
with dpc getting new cards it will be faster than that for sure. keep in mind episode 6 was larger than the average episode. I bet we see episode 7 by Feb/March
DPC, I think we are all excited over the new render times. It is a very nice bump indeed. I'm also glad that you still have the passion after 6 episodes, can't think of a better dev to support. Lastly, Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Happy holidays and enjoy the time with the family :-)
Happy holidays dr Pc.
good job and happy holidays DPC, waiting for the next updates
CD Project should hire DPC to do Cyberpunk’s sex scenes lol
dude i know right, i seriously think visual novels are basically turning into what Cyberpunk is and those type of games will be the future
Happy Holidays DPC! Appreciate your hard work, enjoy time with your fam.
The fact that you can spend time with your family warms my heart. To read that you can breeze through what used to be busy work fills me with joy. Knowing of your drive to improve your already impresive acumen I am fantasazing about how you will surprise us next.
happy holidays DPC! Your amazing work ethic and devotion to what you love has been a gift to us all
It's ok DPC. You can tell us what you're really up to this upcoming break. Playing Cyberpunk 2077 on that brand new RTX 3090 you got. How lucky lol
Nah, I don't play PC games anymore due to development. Cyberpunk isn't up my alley either.
yay love Riona can never have enough of her, also great work and hope you have a great christmas
That's amazing, Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to DrPinkCake and everyone else. Stay safe.
Good to hear that those new cards are smashing through your workload :D
