Status update Episode 10
I started this week by working on a lewd scene. It wasn't a particularly long scene and I finished posing its animations and static renders after a couple of days of work.
After that, I moved on to posing renders for a few free-roam event scenes, and I think I'm done with nearly every scene of the remaining free-roam events now. I'm not crossing them off the checklist because they also need phone content. I will know more about this progress after spending time playtesting them.
Playtesting and polishing the episode always tend to add and alter some of my work. I can talk about this process a bit more in a future status update to let you gain some knowledge on it.
At the moment, I want to keep creating what's left to create. So, I moved on to writing some of the remaining content. I wrote a normal scene and another lewd scene for a main girl. I've just started posing the renders for the normal scene and will continue creating art for these two scenes next week.
I realized I missed creating 10-20 renders for another lewd scene, which I will also spend some time doing soon.
After those scenes, I only have one big scene left to make. It's both lewd and story-related and could almost be counted as two scenes. I don't know how big it will be, but it is an important main girl scene, and I predict it will mean plenty of work.
My render slaves are working hard. I have zero static renders in the queue, and the animation queue has grown to 32 animations.
This week, I also locked the credits section for Episode 10 and added 160+ new Massive DIKs to the game. I have ensured that the end credits roll fine so that task is out of the way. If you want your name in the credits, the post to add your name is here. Note that any new names added to that post at this point will appear earliest in Episode 11.
I also created the episode end screen and started on the episode end reports - but I can't finish them until later.
Furthermore, I have added every special render to the episode. This part is at least ready to be playtested. But I haven't created Pack Quest yet, so it will have to wait a bit for later.
I don't say this often enough, but thanks again for the huge support and patience you have shown me throughout these long development months. I promise it will be rewarded massively with this new update.
To tease you, I've almost been able to play a full episode 10 this week for the first time. Without mini-games enabled, reading and enjoying everything without rushing, I was positively surprised it roughly took me 6 hours to get through it.
Have a nice weekend.

I've been playing BADIK again (yeah I have lots of playthroughs ready for episode 10 but still LOL) I'm hoping we find out who the masked ghoul in Derek's bar was who had "the bluest eyes I've ever seen".
I'm curious also - but also curious who turned the lights off and why
Good job to you and your render slaves. :D It must feel better to arrive at the episode end screen for you than for us as players, especially a big episode like the one you describe. Good luck for completing that episode and thanks for all your work. Can't wait to discover how your beautiful stories go on. :P
thats like 3 times longer than the halloween party awesome
good job
I'm so excited! It looks like it's coming closer and closer to the time you release it.
This is the first Episode I've been a Patron in the lead up to, The updates and previews do a great job of keeping up tension in the lead up to the episode dropping. Out of curiosity, does the good Dr update the guide at the same time or is that released a couple of weeks/months later?
the walkthrough just depends on how much is done when it's released - it could be or it could be a week or two later --- also it might not be released early to make you play the game blind and see how it goes
Anyone know if he ever plans on releasing season 3 as an early access on steam??
not until episodes 9 through 12 are completely done - that is how they released season 1 & 2
Looks hot 👀 I quest it is not possible to give us how many free roams/lewd scenes will be in ep??
Six hours? Whoa, and to imagine I will have to do that five times - maybe more depending on how much those playthroughs will branch further...
I would estimate 10 plus a couple more -- Quinn, Riona, Lily, Nicole, Jade minimum
just about done reading what I could decode from this update, sounds like some exciting stuff up ahead. thanks for your hard work mrpinkkake and have a nice weekend too
Cant wait !
Thank you! Really awesome getting these detailed updates, which I’m sure takes some work themselves. You’re doing gods work my man! I will forever be a pledge and support your work! 👊👍
Thanks for the detailed update - cannot wait - have a great weekend
soo hyped!
Scott - not all the girls stories are finished yet so I am assuming there is probably way more than 6 hours total playtime even without minigames
6 hours per PT, or total? No matter, that is INSANE! Thanks for the update Doc! Happy weekend
Sounds great. Looking forward to the next eps, when ever it is done it sounds like it will be the best ever.
Wow, 6 hours playtime... multiplied by 15+ savegames... that's longer than some RPGs nowadays. If you continue like that I will not notice the development time of new episodes because I am busy playing :-D
Sheesh!! That's a lot of work done but this is the one story that has had me hooked since the beginning!
So hyped
i think I'm a render slave
6 hours, Jesus!
What a MAD lad! 6hrs of content alone without minigames!? Sheeesh ya blessing us!
Great stuff DPC. Enjoy your weekend.
6 hours of Bella content? 😳
Thank you for the work you've done. I look forward to the continuation of the story. I wish the inspiration never leaves you and you create more great games.
dam 6 hours of playtime with no minigames, lot of content coming with this next episode
yes!!! Almost to the Promised land!!!!!
God I'm so hyped for episode 10! Thanks for the great update as always DPC!
Can you turn off mini-games ?
At the very start of the game (Season 1) you get asked if you want to play with minigames or not, I don't think there's an option to turn them off or on after
6 hours without the mini-games. I assume that is for one main branch only. Ep10 is looking big indeed. Looking forward to it. Thank you for the update.
I really appreciate these updates. 6 hours is great runtime. Especially considering no mini games and multiple playthroughs.
Nice teasing Doc ! Can't wait
Thank you for sharing, Doc. Have a nice weekend !
Have a nice weekend! And thank you!
Thank you, Dr PinkCake, for the comprehensive update and your unwavering dedication to this project. It's evident that an immense amount of effort and attention to detail is going into each scene, each render, and every aspect of the game. Your transparency and updates make the waiting all the more worthwhile. At the end of all this time and anticipation, we know that what lies ahead is nothing short of perfection. Keep up the amazing work, and thanks again for keeping us all in the loop!
Very much looking forward to it. :) Thanks, Doc!
Rock on...
So, 6 hours without mini-games. Would it be 6 hours and 9 minutes with mini-games?
Get out.
Thank you for the update! Hopefully things are smooth sailing from here. Have a good one 😊
Thank you for the update, Doc. Have a nice weekend.

Great stuff doc! Have a great weekend
The journey of a thousand miles…
So if I have already added my name to the credits post then I don't need to add it again?
Correct. You've been in the credits earlier and will stay there. No need to double-add yourself.
thanks for the update Doc. Have a great weekend.
Great update! Thanks!
