Status update Episode 10
This week, I finished work on the lewd scene I had left and also art and writing for the story-related part of the connecting scene. I have also worked on the missing phone content, and I don't have much left in this area. That means I can enter the polishing phase sometime next week.
This week, I have also gotten my final PC upgrade up and running, meaning I'm done with PC upgrades for the time being. Even with 60 fps animations rendering, the render speed is faster than before, and I'm overjoyed.
Here's the updated checklist.
Checklist Episode 10
This is the current checklist of what's left to do before beta testing and proofreading can begin.
Art
All static renders are done. 5725 produced.
All animations have been posed. 269 produced. 68 animations are in the render queue, and some will be merged into single animations. The final animation count hasn't been verified, but it will exceed that of episode 9 (303).
Code
Phone content - Some Rooster and Chat app content remain. The Music app will need to be updated if more songs are added.
Bios - I always leave bios for the last part of the development.
Episode end report - The reports are written but need more testing.
Sound
Some SFX work remains; I will get to it when I polish the episode.
26 new songs have been added so far. Some work remains in this area for a few scenes.
Testing
My personal tests and polishing remain.
My thoughts on the checklist
The checklist looks very slim, and the polishing phase can start soon.
As always, the final static render and animation count will change due to polishing, but all the scenes I have planned for have been created.
While animations render, I will play and polish the episode, and I have plenty of work to do with this.
My plan going forward
Next week, I aim to finish the phone content as soon as possible and then start polishing the episode.
I have a chunk of text written for the polishing phase that I want to discuss, but this update is already getting lengthy, and I will save that for next week's update.
It feels great to enter one of the final phases of the episode development. Focusing on playing and improving the episode for the first time in different ways is always exciting. I have a lot of fun work and will get right to it.
Have a nice weekend

Tara lewd scene this time? It would be fun if they had sex and she realized it was MC at the gloryhole!
Tara most likely will connect the dots once Tremolo goes doggy on her lol
i finished season 2 yesterday and i just want to say this game has been one of the best i’ve ever played. it’s honestly in my top favorite games. thank you for this honestly.
Just wait until you follow the progress once an episode is finished, tested, and then released. Episode 9 is EPIC, and I can't wait for episode 10.
As a plot option did you consider MC busking to raise money for Maya/Quinn/mansion. Maybe he discovers he has a pretty sweet voice too.
Appreciate the update, been sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the next episode. I have several storylines ready for episode 10.
have you heard of the band called "chair model"? they make some nice tracks that i can see being used
Thanks for the update. looking forward to the new chapter. enjoying the game so far

Hi DPC, Thank you for giving us this masterpiece. It is without a doubt the best game of its type and one of the best overall. I can't wait to play episode 10 and see what it has in store for this incredible story. My best wishes for you and your family, have a great week end.

Now this sounds like really good news. Thanks, DPC, and have a nice weekend. Make sure to get some rest to start with full power again next week :-)
Got a rough idea yet when we might get a release date announcement?
When they are done - this update compared to previous updates should give you a good idea (or compare it to previous episode updates to release dates) - stop bothering on a specific release date - it will be given to us when know
I am fully erect!
