Status update Episode 9
This week I worked on static renders, a bit of coding/writing, and environment renders for one of the bigger free roam events of the episode.
Some scenes have been pretty complex to create due to the number of characters and details in them. I've completed a long scene with ~160 renders in it and some shorter scenes.
Somewhere over 1500 renders are fully produced. A rough estimate is that it puts image art at 35-45% completion.
Regarding animations, I've almost finished work on 8 lewd scenes, with more to come. I need to work on another lewd scene soon to build up the animation render queue.
It's hard to estimate how many animations are left to pose, but a gut feeling tells me we're somewhere along 40-60% completion with animations.
All writing/coding/phone content should be somewhere >80% complete.
Music/sound effects are ~20-30% complete.
I wish I could give a better estimate than this, but it's impossible, and guesses only make for disappointment. I don't want to limit my freedom during development by promising things too early. It would cause bad stress for me, and the best episodes are made when I'm enjoying what I do.
All-in-all, steady progress is being made.
This weekend, a new 2D poll will be live, with some side girls candidates for wallpaper and animation. Sign up as a +$10 patron to participate.
Have a nice weekend

DPC no homo i love you <3
you're the best
1500 renders,35-45% completion,this episode is going to be epic it seems, good job!
Appreciate the updates as always, take your time. That always provides the best content. Hope you're having a great weekend!
I was thinking the release would be closer to Halloween since the episode is based on Halloween.. but now I know its only him on his own that might be to soon..
I put zero weight in coinciding release dates with in-game dates.
Heck, I am doing replays and STILL finding content that I missed, so take your time.
I try to change 1 or 2 variables and see what the result is. This time, I was friendly with Bella, but instead of being aggressive, passed up opportunities and remained at the friend level instead of love interest. It resulted in options for scenes that I hadn't seen before. My preference is the Jill path and a lot of times it's hard to avoid the Bella path unless you deliberately do so. This time I made it a point to, but she was still nice enough to cut MC's hair.
Is it just yourself doing all this work?
Yeh just him. DPC prefers working solo.
sounds good! This is gonna be great. Have a weekend bro :)
This was the perfect amount for an update. Honestly, I'd be happy with a list of percentages and just a couple sentences of update if you had nothing else you wanted to share.
Everybody knows that you're great at what you do. Take your time and make it a great one like always! <3
Take your time Doc, thank you for giving a rough guess on the percentages.
Take your time Doc, no need to give us even what percentage we have done, we are all just happy to support you on doing what you (and we) love. Enjoy your weekend!
We are merely passengers on the DPC rocket ship. Work at the pace you are comfortable with. Inspirations find you often when least expected, may they shine on you!
Thanks much for this update. It was very informative and also helps me to better know what to expect in the release. Sounds really good. OK, it always is. But it does sound really good.
We are patient, this episode promises to be the best one yet! Have a great weekend DPC.
Halloween looks to be one of the best events, so do whatever you feel is necessary! We'll be here for the long haul!
Fucking hell... Working like a bat outta hell, are we? Kick-ass work ethic, but don't forget to take care of yourself.
Take your time, please.
I think I speak for most when I say to take your time. I’m excited for the next episode, but I’d much rather have a completed work you’re proud of than a rush job. Thanks for your hard work and frequent updates.
Cool, I really like what you're doing
You haven't failed us yet DPC, and I don't see that happening ever. Your game is by far, one of the best out there and is constantly praised, commented on and referenced by other devs and players from all over. Just keep doing what you're doing because is 100% working. I will always be a supporter of you and your work. 🤘🖤🤘
Amen, brother
👌👌
