that is that, i don't know why he did that.

while We do any programming on any project face similar situations like this, here is what we do here.


- if there is some content that needs to be added in the code, and i do not have it yet, you know what i do.
- we replace it with some sample MOCK code and do the rest.

- then we finish the whole project and test the whole software.

- when that missing content i want becomes available to me , i will add that new content and TEST just that newly added content swiftly that's it.

> we do NOT test the whole project just because we just added a missing content, and take three weeks.


I will not sit and wait that missing content before a start testing. i will finish coding and testing without it.

i am talking shit because i know Programming, that is what I do .
I know how such things are handled , there is no Project Manager that can tolerate waiting and starting testing that could take 3 weeks while it can be done simultaneously.
Last cycle when the animations were still rendering and all the polishing and alpha testing was complete, he started planning the next episode.
He probably knows this, but uses the rendering time for other tasks.

In a hypothetically better interlude sure. With the one he made I feel like it'd have been better off not existing at all than been extended. It was downhill once she got on the train. I only played the interlude for the first time recently and it’s noticeably different because suddenly fuck all is happening. If you've played dragon age origins it's the fade seciton of Being a Dik. Personally it was a drag to play and I doubt I will ever play it again.

There's nothing in there that couldn't have been explained by Zoey to fuckface in one convo when in his room. I don't think it even needed renders at all, as in not even one singular render and I'm not joking for what happens in san diego. Zoey could've just relayed it and boom convo moves on. I could give less of a fuck how long a dev takes, I ain't paying but (personal opinion) the interlude felt like a waste of time while playing it. It's a extrano episode we go from college story to day in the life of a celibate tattooist. I've enjoyed this more than any other AVN I've played so far but the interlude felt like a massive quality drop. To the extent I used the searchbar here to check if DPC actually wrote it himself or farmed it out. The last two episodes got me invested in Zoey more than the interlude did ironically. Not every dev can hit all the time and the interlude feels like a big DPC swing and miss. I don't think that's a big deal every game has shit parts but it's a shame it's not a lot better or more plot relevant.
I get it. The implementation wasn't quite right, the abrupt change in narrative threw you off track. For someone like me, it was a breath of fresh air, for you, it was an annoyance. I agree with the weak implementation, but I don't think it's acceptable to tell their backstory in a text version. After all, we're not playing a book, but a visual novel.

Would it have actually upset people on his patreon if she'd fucked anyone? She's single and well aren't we all here to see sex scenes I know this site apparently has an NTR thing but that's not cuck stuff. Girl didn't even get a scene with a vibe, she going to explode when she finally gets some.
Militant anti-NTR mobs would start a crusade against the dev and the game, a couple of years ago it was even more serious drama, now it's more calm. These people can shout REEEE NTR! even if LI is just talking to another male character. And the subreddit has a no-ntr fan-art rule, moderator there deletes any such works.

Anyone thinking otherwise is probably does not know about programming or software development.

so = is STUPID.

That's precisely the point of being self-employed: not having a Project Manager! :WeSmart: :WeSmart: :WeSmart: :HideThePain:

---

I know that most of us can't have the freedom of working however we like but... Why?

Either because we are employee and our employer would not pay us for underperforming, or because we are freelancers or entrepreneurs and our clients pay us per delivery and not per month.

And what do we get from that? Stress, lack of free time, and in most cases a barely decent salary/profit.

---

But, hey, he has a wide fanbase willing to support him by paying him monthly for doing his job in whatever way he likes to do it.

So maybe "unfair" is the word you're looking for.
I'm the first to say that it's unfair that we have to obey to our Project Manager, while he can do whatever he wants and his fanbase will awlays justify him and most of all will always pay him monthly - no question asked.

But that's the free market!

Since he does have his willing paying yes-men, "stupid" of him would be NOT taking advantage of his position.

---

And why does he has his fan base? Because he has some skills I don't have. (Besides an overly inflated ego)

Personally, if I had his technical, artistic and social skills, I would definitely gather a fan-base and I would work on my terms, exactly as he does.

The only reason why I don't do it, is because I'm not able to. :HideThePain:


---

I don't think he is the genius he think he is, but I don't think he is "stupid" either.
I just honestly envy him.


But I reckon that he is a self-made entrepreneur, not someone who got ahead throught political connections or a spoiled rich kid born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

---

Probably he did developed his skills by working 20-30 years as an empoyee having to obey to his Project Manager, then when he was skilled enough he decided that to be rich (and most of all to be owner of his own life) he had to be self-employed.

Well... it seems he was right.

I totally agree with you, but the Anti-NTR brigade thinking is:

- Hey, Zoey dumped ME, and if she doesn't fuck ME she must die of abstinence

- But she's not with "you" anymore, and meanwhile "you" are banging half college...

- CUUUCK!!!!!!

What about Lynette ? That's disgusting ! I can't believe Neil has fucked her before the MC ! I can't believe he got pregnant before us ! The MC is a product of cuckoldry ! Simply disgusting!

but woo, no one have the balls to tell him that on his Patreon. even if they do He Bans them.
I think DPC have banned all the Patreon users who dared to do it. So the rebel patreons have been extincted ;) :ROFLMAO:

The special announcement will be that he made the remake of Acting Lessons
Now with 100% more arsons :devilish::devilish:

Guest starring: Derek :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

So, well... Ethics? :WaitWhat:
What?
That's a big word for a Quinn lover to understand, especially someone like me, who regularly makes it the goal to fuck with Jill's feelings.
By the way, I wonder how she would react if she knew about the restaurant :unsure:

No love for Jill at all? Come on.. Also, 100% sure the restaurant thing will come back to bite MC in the ass one way or the other. (Source: my left nut)
Furthermore, cowgirl Elena is HOT, over 9000. (approx.)

I love Quinn too, but not how she treats "her" girls.

In particular "our" dear Riona.

About Jill... her naivity is my anti-Viagra, but... I can't stand hurting her. :cry: When she caught my MC with Bella, I had to go back and break up with Bella Jill in order to bang Bella without hurting Jill :HideThePain:

the worst part about the interlude is that only one choice really matters, the rest is basically just introducing a new character and her friends who will likely not be involved in the story anymore.
It determines if Zoey is a Chick or a Dick as well as what relationship she has with her friends (so far only affecting Clucks). It was proberbly supposed to have mattered more but since people hated it, he decided to not use too much from it.

the worst part is that it was a half trick to bring the time from 7 to 11 months without anyone noticing right away

on the episode itself, the fact that it can be skipped completely also says a lot about how much DPC believed in it, you still have to take care of the little fish in the aquarium, not Zoey 's story
The reason you can skip it is because fans asked for the ability to skip it since they hated it.
And the reason for why he did the Interlude was to test the new system and give the fans something while he was testing it.

Did he hint about a remaster, or did he just reply to a question about it saying that doing a remaster before finishing the original is out of the question?

(...which doesn’t rule out a remaster after the completion of the original, but doesn’t suggest there will be one either)
I don't remember it word for word but he said that he really wants to make one because he's not happy about the quality of the first season. But he's also worried that he will be tempted to add things that would cause problems for season 2 and 3 so it would be a lot of work. I think he said that he doubts that he would do it before he finished the series because of that.

surely the interlude is the only thing the fans will ever hate, no doubt about it, sure, sure.

for the eighth chapter 6-7 months, then with the interlude + ninth we went to 11. for sure this was well tested by DPC
The development time has increased with basically every episode, between 2-7 months for the first 8, not 6-7.
Episode 2: 2.5 months (1,709 renders, 77 animations).
Episode 3: 3.5 months (2,289 renders, 99 animations).
Episode 4: 4.5 months (2,532 renders, 134 animations).
Episode 5: 4.5 months (2,456 renders, 157 animations).
Episode 6: 5.5 months (3,336 renders, 162 animations).
Episode 7: 5.5 months (3,723 renders, 250 animations).
Episode 8: 7 Months (4,158 renders, 358 animations).
Interlude: 3.3 months (794 renders, 36 animations).
Episode 9: 9 months (5,037 renders, 303 animations).
Episode 10: 11 months (5,868 renders; 335 animations).

Notice a patern in time increase and content?
Every episode is larger, more animations, more scenes, higher quality. With the new system he can also do much more than he previously could. And he's now composing some of the music for the game.
So what is more likely, that the bigger size of the episodes means longer development time or that it's some dark conspiracy?
