Status update Episode 11
Added 2024-09-13 13:21:59 +0000 UTC
I've been working on canon scenes all week, some with branch-related content.
I've posed a handful of scenes of varied lengths and am currently halfway through a longer (120+ renders) scene.
To give you a sense of how much of the episode's development remains, here's a summary of what I can state after glancing through my files for episode 11.
Eleven canon scenes need art. Most of them have completed or partial writing.
Two big free-roam events are almost complete. Both are lacking scenes with writing/art.
A smaller free-roam event is needed. It's only planned at the moment.
Three lewd scenes for main girls remain to create from scratch.
Phone content needs plenty of work. It's rather bare-bones at the moment.
The branches have remained mostly unchanged since last week. Except for Jill's branch, the other four branches need plenty of work. I cannot estimate how much, but this is the biggest remaining area.
Music/SFX needs a lot of work.
Mini-games are implemented and only need testing.
Rewards, Scenes, and Pack Quest are implemented and only need testing. Some special renders need to be placed in canon story scenes.
I have yet to play the majority of the episode, and things may increase the size of this to-do list. Depending on how I feel after playing the episode, more canon scenes or branched scenes may be needed.
Posed renders: 5269 (277 of which are in the render queue)
Posed animations: 306 (39 of which are in the render queue. The count is not exact as some animation files may be merged)
Have a nice weekend

Glad I'm not the only one who did exactly this and was playing on Steam Deck, at the time I was instantly hooked when I went looking through Steam sales and turned on the adult games filter and I'm glad I did! I think I have over 120+ hours in Steam and but I can't tell how many hours I have for episodes 9 and 10 since we played through here. 😂

2024-09-30 06:25:10 +0000 UTCGood question. It can be a bit confusing during development to understand that concept. In general, one animation = one video file regardless of what is playing. If an animation has multiple angles and files, it would be multiple animations. However, there are animations with multiple angles that are merged into one file, and those are counted as one single animation. Then you have cutscene-like animations, like the longer ones during Halloween episode 9, where over 20 different animations are merged into one single file and counted as one animation. During development, I sometimes merge files after animations have been rendered, lowering the animation count even though there have been more posed animation files. The animation count can be a rather vague way of estimating content, but I still find it useful to report. A more accurate way would be to say that X minutes of animation have been produced, but that way of reporting also has shortcomings. The render and animation counts can be used to compare the progress to previous episodes, but now that animations are 60 fps and have double the amount of frames, that comparison also gets flawed. To sum up, defining an animation and making everyone understand what I mean is tricky. ^^

2024-09-17 20:18:38 +0000 UTCI've always wondered about what the definition of "animations" is. When you say 306 animations, I assume each lewd animation counts one for each position, but does a different camera angle from the same position count as a separate animation for the same position? It really doesn't matter to me if it does, it's just a curiosity.

2024-09-16 17:43:30 +0000 UTCYou have to read his weekly updates and draw your own conclusions. I won't speak for him. No matter how long it takes it sounds, so far, like it's going to be epic.
Scott
2024-09-16 17:41:12 +0000 UTCSo means ep11 will be releasing soon? Like 2 month?
batyoxide
2024-09-16 13:42:07 +0000 UTCWhen episode 12 is done and posted here. At the rate at which he works I'd say you're looking at about a year and a half from now at minimum. He does this all alone, just him and his computers. It's always worth the wait but by joining him here you can play a lot sooner than that if you wish to as he posts new episodes.

2024-09-16 12:12:37 +0000 UTCWhen is season 3 fonna be on steam?

2024-09-16 06:33:10 +0000 UTCYes! Minus Josey and Maya. Sub those for Bella and the childhood friend whose name escapes me for some reason right now.

Jonathan Hang
2024-09-13 20:46:27 +0000 UTCSeason one looks just a little bigger than this episode so far? I know some animations will be merged but wow! The render count alone so far with all that left to do. You are truly a man among kids when it comes to AVN's. Truly the GOAT. Keep up the great work and remember to take time for family and friends. Have a great weekend DPC, all.

2024-09-13 18:06:12 +0000 UTCThanks for the update. This will be a blast of an episode. Crossing my fingers, it still could be done this year. But I know, it's done when it's done and it is worth the wait. Nice weekend everybody.
Nordwolf
2024-09-13 17:54:48 +0000 UTCDon't you do that to me!
Nordwolf
2024-09-13 17:52:20 +0000 UTCNo Christmas release this year then. Take your time!

2024-09-13 14:20:52 +0000 UTCI hope so too but who knows really considering there's still a lot to do. 3.5 months to go so I'd say it's still possible
Jacek Wiśniewski
2024-09-13 14:19:25 +0000 UTCWhat can I say? Amazing job from the amazing person. But I do wonder will the episode 11 be finished by the end of the year?? Always be our pleasure to play your game. Love you doc

2024-09-13 13:41:12 +0000 UTCGood lord this episode is going to be insane, I appreciate the hell out of you Dr Pink for the lengths you are going with this game, definitely the gold standard of AVN'S right now.
Tim Anderson
2024-09-13 13:37:36 +0000 UTCHey Doc, Thanks for the DevLog. I know I'm repeating myself, but it's insane what you put into the update. I can't thank you enough for it. Even though you always try to show it to us, it's hard for me to imagine how much work goes into your work of art (that's what I like to call BaD). I wish you and everyone else here a great weekend and stay healthy.
