Status update Episode 10
This week I wrote and worked on renders for some longer scenes with plenty of characters. Working with many characters always take extra time, and one of the scenes had 150+ renders in it alone which required extra focus. I'm happy with the results, and I created art for shorter scenes after that.
I've also been writing other scenes, continuing to fill the episode shell with the planned content.
PCs are chugging on with the animations without any interruptions. The render queue is still meaty. It's smooth sailing at the moment.
While animations are likely ~50% posed, renders (~1200 posed) are somewhere between 25-30% complete depending on the final count. Writing is likely near the render percentage; I will focus more on it next week.
I will mainly focus on Isabella's branch early next week. Depending on how well it goes, maybe I'll work on Sage and Others branches too.
I have been working on SFX and music during the last few weeks, here and there. 10 new songs have been added thus far.

episode 10 out??
anywhere from Sept to November it is looking like based on the updates - the branching in this episode will be crazy and the graphics has increased significantly ---- so it is taking more time
DPC... I just need you to know that I hate you for how well you wrote in Zoey!! Like I was visibly frustrated that I couldn't drop everything and pursue her because she is great. Complete character development with the interlude and the growth in her interactions with MP. I play a lot of VNs but NONE have this high a quality of overall characters and storyline. Its a legit struggle to choose only one girl through the playthrough but all arcs are well thought out and enjoyable for pretty much any persona a player might have.
frr i've been hooked on bella and riona but with episode 9 lily just rose above both of em
I just want to wife Nicole!!!
We don't know who her husband was and I guess we're gonna be shocked about it soon
thanks Dr can't wait to buy the actual game when it comes out and play!

EVERYONE HOLD YOUR BREATH!!! NEXT WEEK IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TIME OF DEVELOPMENT 🙏🏻😳😳🥺🥺💖
I have a pretty good computer and you're welcome to have me render a pile of stuff for you if you would like. I'm fairly good with blender I don't know if that's what you're using, just figured I would offer to help.
That's kind of you to offer him your help but he's riding solo on this and wants to keep it that way
Very detailed update! I appreciate it, and I’m sure everyone else does :) I’m really looking forward to the next release on steam. I know it will be well worth the wait! Keep up the great work Doc!
Enjoy your weekend Doc
