Status update Episode 9
🕑 Added 2022-04-22 07:12:57 +0000 UTC
This week I wrote dialogue, planned more of what I needed to write, and coded almost every day.
I got into a good flow and managed to create a lot of content for the episode.
I wrote entire scenes and the shell of other scenes that I will continue working on.
Looking only at the amount of code written so far (scenes, free roam, branches, etc.) and comparing it to Episode 8, the longest episode in the game, I'm at 54% completion of dialogue if I was aiming to match episode 8 size.
We'll see where we end up in terms of size.
Next week will be a mix of posing animations and writing. I feel I want to continue writing before I work on static renders to be sure of how much I'm putting in the episode.
All PCs are rendering at full speed throughout all of this. 70 animations are completed so far.
You can look forward to a fresh preview next week.
Have a nice weekend

I think you should do it for your saves in some way this interlude will shape Zoey personality to what you see fit for her character and will ultimately carry those traits to S3 whatever episode she will appear on so in a long explanation my answer is yes just to be safe and not have to replay it when s3 fully comes out in a few years

If you played the Interlude once, you can go through each of your saves, import to the Interlude, and you'll have an option to skip the Interlude story. It will ask you one question that qualifies as a "major choice" in the Interlude, but that should be it.

Thx! I played it thru already with one of my saves, nice one.
Snedden
I am soo ready for episode 9
Snedden
seems pretty voluntary, It does give some good back story but from what I played it won't effect your save. Still worth a run threw imo tho.
Angus Stormwind
How does the Interlude impact ep 9? Do I have to play through the Interlude with all my saves from ep 8, or is it completely voluntearly?
Alpha Protagonist
Okay thanks.
Jamison
code changes caused by mods proliferate. It's the price you pay for modding the game.
Alpha Protagonist
So i have to remove the saves also?
Shrek
As impatient as I may be and I assume others are at least we know the wait is well worth all the effort you put in so keep up the good work doc
Rani Ronquillo

Branden Jensen
Cheers DPC, and keep up the awesome work. Definitely exciting for Ep. 9. :D
Jamison
did you remove everything? Saves in ./PATHTOGAME/Being a DIK/game/saves and ./Users/USERDIR/Appdata/Roaming/Renpy, and entire game directory?
Alpha Protagonist
Okay so i reinstalled the game made it to where you update the board second to last time with Rusty. And a few lines of text the game crashes exact same spot twice now. I saved just after i updated the mini game. Not using any mods.

Keep up the good work!
Alpha Protagonist
Can you link Season 2 again please so i can DL it again. Mine may be corrupt.
DrPinkCake
Don't use mods.
Alpha Protagonist
Hey DrPinkCake. I managed to save up 80$ on the mansion in the mini game. But however this is the third time i went to episode 8. All goes good at first and then when Bella is in the Library with her Husband the game crashes every time.
