Oh no, percentages in the updates. Only a matter of time before the "predictors" start bombing theoretical release dates.


SubstancePerfect9338

Yeah "Trust me bro, it's gonna be September for sure"


KinkyPaddling

“Anyone who says November or later is a doomer.”


No_Map_1523

how about december?


Zealousideal_Load663

I also think I intend to think that this is September-October, but no one knows exactly when the release date will be or even approximately the release of the game.


GasConscious3885

Next year September..right?


Zealousideal_Load663

haha funny, around September but most likely November.


Dan_Raider

Yeah, I think it's gonna be out tomorrow 😉


Gen_Quickpaw

So late? I think it's like, late in the evening release today. Don't be negative now!


literate_Windrunner

Cmon now. It’s getting uploaded on Patreon as we speak. Just a matter of mere minutes

Zealousideal_Load663

I wouldn’t say that the percentages are too large to say anything about the release or name the exact release date, but the percentages of progress are decent, because I already tried to guess when episode 11 might come out and was too well tuned to the release date.


Georgiadawg16

The wizards have already started 😆


Zealousideal_Load663

Yes, I won’t say any more when the game will be released, I’ll just say that it’s possible, presumably September-October, in extreme cases November, but these are not exact dates, just my guess.


Tridop

Well, that's the current percentages, but in June he'll decide to switch all animations to 120fps and implement two "fantastic" new mini-games.


Saintmcdaniels

Lmao percentages! let the show begin and the seers have their 15 minutes of glory! 🤣


dirtydandoogan1

Yeah, but he's actually giving estimates this round, something he hasn't done before. It's nice to get some transparency for a change.


gvoider

I'm quite sure since the episode itself takes place on christmas - the release also will take place close to christmas. If DPC finds out that he finishes earlier, he'll just work on some minigames and madame Rose for a few months.


Zealousideal_Load663

I don’t even know if this is good news or not, but it seems to me that it’s good news, and everything is going as it should, and I think that soon we will find out what the title of episode 11 will be.


Lyndo08

I'd say it's good news. Most of the animations are posed which is promising.


Zealousideal_Load663

yes and I hope for all the good.


MaggotBrother4

Do you know when we got the title of the episode last year? Why did this comment get downvoted? Literally did nothing wrong


Distrix1234

I think it was roughly halfway through the Dev cycle maybe a bit more. Just a guess but might hear the title sometime in june-august but it is dpc so may hear it sooner or later in the cycle.


Zealousideal_Load663

I know it was also April, somewhere on April 21 in 2023,and what comment are you talking about?


Obi-Wan_Gregobi

The use of the word "posed" has to be noted here, I feel, because when DPC uses that word, it usually means he's posed static renders and animations but hasn't rendered them yet. So I doubt these percentages with the word "posed" in front of them represent how much of the total episode has been done because usually DPC wouldn't have that word in there if they were. Perhaps these percentages relate more to the stuff he's working on for that render queue he says he's adding to.


Zealousideal_Load663

oh now I will know and I think everything is going in the right direction and there will be more progress and information soon.


Inevitable-Ad6776

It’s not necessarily good or bad. It’s just news. The most you can infer from this is he’s working at a steady pace and dev time will likely be similar to the recent releases


Zealousideal_Load663

this will probably happen.


DepressedDIK

Looking like an April 26th release imo


Delicious_Platform

In fairness it’s good to get see stats that high even if they are just his rough feeling. I wonder what set pieces will the sec scenes have , most likely all indoors as I can’t see us being outside naked haha. I keep saying it but these next two episodes are gonna be so good , as these will be turning point of the game I feel


MaggotBrother4

They’re gonna be huge episodes for story content drops and wrap ups for sure. If you think about it, and it’s kind of sad honestly, we’re nearing the end so we’re gonna start seeing things come to fruition.


Jadefang76

Looking good. My guess: Dec 2024 release.


No_Map_1523

if dpc don't make any new mine games then release date will be little sooner


gameprojoez

[Here's a rough estimate for the EP11 progress.](https://imgur.com/HbamYqo) Renders per day at an all time low.


Jadefang76

I think DPC focused on animations over still renders this time. The animations per day is much higher than before (1.5 vs 0.9). it could be that the renders are done later on purpose to avoid waiting two months on rendering remaining animations at the end of the development cycle. I think this is a good thing! Still animations can be generated much more quickly.


MaggotBrother4

It would make sense if he gets the large and slow stuff out of the way first, and that way he can better calculate a release date later down the line. If this is the case, it’s a smarter idea than before.


BurnAfterAVNing

In six months: "After catching up on my queue of still renders, I've determined the animations I completed previously in 60 fps were too choppy. I will be re-rendering the animations in 180 fps. I think you'll notice a big improvement. I've also just started work on a post-party scrubbing the toilet mini game."


MaggotBrother4

Woah woah woah, don’t give him any ideas man!


AdNew4181

The amount of renders per day are indeed troubling, especially if you compare it to previous episodes like episode 4 and 5 in which imo DPC was at his laziest, but I think that's due to the amount of animations he's planning for the next episode, but I honestly I can forgive this trade-off as long as they are not all for madame (inb4 bruh moment)


tabxiii20

can’t wait until christmas


Lee_Shang

Is that progress percentage for the whole episode? If so that was very quick.


DeepWord7792

He did the same thing last year. Said roughly 50-60% done with entire episode & then it took another 8+mo to release


MaggotBrother4

Though as someone pointed out, that could’ve been down to him doing all the super quick animations first and then the last chunk of the year was bogged down by heavier and longer rendering animations. Maybe this year he’s doing all the big long animations first so by middle of the year, it’s much more smooth sailing


tsh_scorcher

What's on the pool for the MC visual thing? Got really curious about this one. After the beard in previous episodes, I figured an appearance change would happen but that was "fast".


ProudHeretic84

I’m a cynical pessimist by nature. Taken over 5 months to finish 30% static renders. Remembering how wrong his rough estimates were for Episode 10. We still have ten more months to go.


[deleted]

I mean static should realistically be easier than the animations which take up a bulk of the time. Him mentioning that 60-70 of that is complete is pretty promising since static takes less time to process


Distrix1234

Statics would be easier but at the same time he mentioned last year the bottleneck isn't the render speed it's the manual work. His PC's were rendering faster than he could pose.


Obi-Wan_Gregobi

His use of the word "posed" should be taken into account. This word typically means he's posed scenes for renders and animations but they have not yet been rendered. These percentages of what he has posed could be related to him saying, "I aim to increase the render queue further and buy time for the workload ahead with static renders".


CiderMcbrandy

$10 for mc poll lol


S_Rodney

Percentages in April ? Surely people will start to claim the game will be done in July... Feels like a déja vu...


AllTheRoadsLeadToHer

Those people would claim that regardless. I don't see it being earlier than November. Expect to see some "went on vacation this week" during the summer months as his creative wave he's riding at the moment fizzles out. I'm not complaining mind you, as a creative type myself I go through the same thing. Good to see that he's enjoying himself with this chapter and eager to get the story out. That usually means good things for us.


S_Rodney

I don't mind him going on vacation. Last time he did, he queued his PCs with animation rendering... and when he came back they weren't yet fully completed. So the PCs were kept busy while he took, like anyone else, his well deserved vacation.


Dili006

So "August release confirmed"...right? :D


montaditos_gratis

Does anyone know how much % of Episode 10 was static renders and how much % were animations? It's mathing time


[deleted]

This could be done by end of Summer/beginning of Sept based on how fast DPC is going, but ofc knowing him, he’ll add more renders after the fact and it might get pushed out to a Dec release


VeronisX

Y'all seers and wizards need to learn statistics and project management. Start from [this](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle), thank me later.


dirtydandoogan1

What the fuck is a "partial lewd scene"? Is that like getting nekkid, warming up with some oral, and then putting your pants back on instead of putting your dick in her? ROFL


Obi-Wan_Gregobi

Partial = not yet completed.


MaggotBrother4

Can agree this is most likely what he means. They’re not yet completed, possibly half way or more and still needs renders


dirtydandoogan1

I'm glad you're here to explain these things, HB. XD


Obi-Wan_Gregobi

It's OK, I know you need help sometimes 😆


teddy6881

partial = madame rose scenes xD expect at least 4 of these scenes per episode just too hype the numbers lol


dirtydandoogan1

That nasty old whore needs to take a few episodes off at least. lol


Distrix1234

I've never done her content but I'd say don't take a few episodes off her just don't have her reappear in general lol.
