Status update Episode 11
🕑 Added 2024-01-05 10:27:12 +0000 UTC
Happy New Year!
I hope you've all been doing well over the holidays. I've had a great time with family and friends while intermittently working.
I've been looking forward to January as it's time to start the episode 11 development for real.
I've been dabbling with parts of it during the release month, but my focus has been managing the release, fixing bugs, writing the guide, etc. But it's time for the first Status update of Episode 11, so let's dig in and bring you guys up to speed.
Walkthrough
First, the official guide was updated this week, including the episode 10 walkthrough.
If you missed it, it's available here.
Episode 11 development
I started the development by planning the episode with flowcharts and other tools. In this area, I'm working on putting the events I want in the episode in order and building the overall episode flow.
Because I want to stay as effective as possible and utilize my hardware to the max, immediately after planning most of the lewd events, I put planning on hold and started working on those events.
I've been writing lewd scenes and posing some static renders, but I've mostly been focusing on posing animations to get a good head start on the development.
I'm currently up to 85 posed animations, with 63 of those animations fully rendered - and yes, that's a lot this early on.
Aside from a handful of previously completed animations rendered at 30 fps for Brawler, I'll continue to render at 60 fps during this development cycle. I hope you enjoyed those animations in episode 10 as much as I did.
I've been investigating a sweet spot for rendering speed and quality to make 60 fps animations viable with my current hardware, and I believe I have found it. Render speeds are looking good, and I will continue to monitor this process and tweak it throughout development.
Static renders aren't a priority early in development, so they aren't worth mentioning today.
Going forward, I plan to continue working on lewd scenes and posing animations to increase the render queue. I've started working on the 6th lewd scene of the episode, and it will be one of the bigger ones.
Polls
I have decided and prepared upcoming polls for the episode. You can look forward to new cosmetic polls and special render polls.
The special render polls are extra interesting this time, as you will decide the order of the main girl sets for episodes 11 and 12 simultaneously.
You will also decide on another girl for the other girls' special render set - Zoey won this poll for episode 10.
As I need your votes to be able to work on some scenes, there will be cosmetic polls early on in the development. A cosmetic poll for Jill will be live tomorrow. Sign up as a +$10 patron to participate.
Q&A event
The annual Q&A post will be published next month, and the post where you can ask your questions about my game development and games will go live on Sunday.
I'm looking forward to sharing this new development cycle with you.
Have a nice weekend

Am I the only one who thinks that Quinn, Lily and Camilla are some of the prettiest HOT girls? And wish there were more scenes with them
Sinner
Yeah, I'd love it if MC brought Jill back to see his father for his Thanksgiving meal and introduced her to maybe pick up on some awkward body language from Neil.
Sinner
I wonder if we find out what's in her basement? Ep11 will be a banger!!!
ZaR
Yeah, unfortunately a harem like ending is impossible, even in an alternate universe, there's no way..
ZaR
Oh yes my maggot brother, that's called a new run, it's addictive, isn't it? Peace.
ZaR
My second run has been all about Bella for sure. It's funny to realize the secret following for her, maybe the taboo of a married woman... but let's be honest about the motherly role she plays for MC. There's something about the way she coaches and guides him. One of the images that forever melted my heart for her was during the yoga class, when she signals him to breath. The way a loving mother would encourage her son who's nervously performing on a school play. All things considered, she's like the mom he sadly never had. That was what sealed the deal for me. 💞
ZaR
If I had to make a choice... it'd break my heart but, I'd choose Riona. 💖
Wolf
Happy New Year to you DPC and all you guys. Good news and great work mate. Will be happy for ep11 to come... this summer ? ;-) ... hehe... will see... Your work is fantastic and takes the time to be so no problem ; ep11 will be out when it will yep. All the best mate
This or That
I had only played episode 9 once. Now that 10 is out. I'm starting another run again. With that long break you forget how GOOD this music selection is. Then the writing *chief's kiss!* This is my Baldur's Gate 3 of adult games. Back to staying up until 3am again, pondering my life choices. Edit: I can see many future reasons to replay past episodes when 11,12,13, etc drop. Nice work Dr.

Bonne année et bonne santé ! Avec une saison 3 qui n’a jamais été aussi proche de sortir ça s’annonce bien !
Ro.Hui
Let me guess…next episode is about Sage’s family condition, or the mysterious relationship between MC’s mother and Jill’s family. Hm….i can’t wait🥹🥹

Happy New Year! I can't wait to see what 2024 has in store for BAD. The minigames were a little tough at first, but after 10+ playthroughs, I enjoyed them. I had to replay most of the playthroughs over and over again for each MG path, for the other path girls (mainly for Lily+Nicole, Riona, and Quinn), and then again for those PERFECT 100% test scores, and then again after finding out a trick to managing the fish tank, so I still had some money at the end of the EP. The trick is that you just keep reloading saves before any free roam; you can check the fish tank, and if you don't like it, just reload to the previous save and retry until you get the result you like. I can't wait for EP 11.
Snow Goon
The new Brawler is a lot of fun and I love the party planning minigame.
Beautiful Bro
It's so weird. Almost as soon as I finished my first playthrough of the latest episode I was bummed out because I'd been missing the weekly updates and knew it'd be a few more before they started again. I honestly love getting to be this informed on the process, it's one of the highlights of my week, like a new episode of my favorite show or something.
Undead Dragon
Honestly can not wait for each epjsode, the stories that you have created are fantastic and renders are insane especially for one person. The only gripe i have is that i cannot do any of the girls solo. Not due to a bug or anythjng. But due to playing through for as many girls as possible. Whilst loving the story lines. I can NOT find the strength to reject a single girl... and having another added to the possible when a favourite of mine makes my decision even worse. And having soft spots for certain scenes for girls kills me thinking about not seing it. But all in all thank you DPC. You have opened my eyes to AVN and still trying to find one that can come close to the work/effort you do
Jeffrey Pantaleon
That would be cool to see but I don't see it with Riona. She likes MC but I don't think that she'd want that with MC. I like the interactions they have and the way she looks at MC.
Scott
O.k. today is the last day I say Happy new year for this year. So, Happy New Year DPC, everyone, I still have so much to see in the new episode. We now have that continuity between Interlude, 9 and 10 that i talked about previously. Sounds great on the progress so far. I'm looking forward to another bunch of updates and another episode at the end of them. Keep on keeping on.
Sadie Adler
Episode 11 will be a BELLA episode!! I can feel it 🙏🏻🤤
ZaR
💖 Would a throuple Quinn/Riona be possible? They're like on the opposite side of the spectrum from Maya/Josy. It'd be a win-win. They're alike enough in a way, but with matching complementary opposing personalities. I'd marry into that ending. Can't wait for the awesome work being done. 👯♀️ 💖
jack halenbeck
happy new year, still playing ep 10 right now and enjoying it. also started a new game from the beginning with a new girl in my sights
Nate Diaz

New brawler's awesome 👌
Animal6311
I can't wait! I absolutely loved episode 10 and it ended with such a good cliff-hanger. I'm so hyped to see what's going to happen next! Happy new year!
Ardor
Cool. Maybe the cycle will allow are earlier release than it has previously with all that's been learned and put into practice. Regardless if it works out that way or not, I am on pins and needles for what happens next!
Alex
Happy new year

You are a machine yourself - keep up the outstanding work and thanks for the updates
Jdog
well Doc looks like we are in for one heck of a year! cant wait for every friday to see what goodies you have in store for us!
Arta
Wow! I can't believe that it's the status update of episode 11. It feels like it was yesterday that you posted the first preview and first status update of episode 10. Anyway, I'm so excited for the new development cycle and happy new year DPC🎉
R2D2TS
Thanks for the update. Hope the holidays did right by everyone.
Morgan
Happy new year 🎈🎆🎊
Mariusvdp
It doesn't matter really, his work is phenomenal and I will wait however long I have to
Jason P
Kudos on recognizing where your bottlenecks are and jumping on those first. It is a skill that not everyone has and is essential for efficient project planning/projects.
Kudlak
The only issue is, that we don't know how many animations/renders DPC need/planned for us 🤣😅 ,but same as you, I am hopping, that next ep will be there faster :-)
29Sheryl
Thank you for the reply.
Jacek Wiśniewski
Great news. I'm officially starting support group for Ep 11 awaiting. ;)
DrPinkCake
Ep 11 and 12 will also be in S3. Season 3 = Interlude + 4 eps
john
happy new year doc great episode! , see you next year 🥲🎊
GAZZA
Lol I missed that ep 20 was out. Guess I know what I'm going to do tomorrow.
GeneralCuiJM
I thought DPC said episode 11 will be the last one of the season, as that plus the Interlude are essentially 4 episodes.
29Sheryl
I would like to know whether or not Episode 11 is the last episode of Season 3, or if there will be more episodes before release season 3 on steam
Mariusvdp
Whoops! Should read beter next time, but you're right. Even more insane. Although I would be fine with waiting. I hope Ep 11 is gonna be here a bit faster than Ep 10. :)
Nordwolf
Not renders, animations! And that's even more insane :-D
Nordwolf
Happy New Year, and thanks for the already amazing update this early!
ZackNero03
Wow, I honestly wasn't expecting an episode update for like another 2 to 3 weeks. Thanks, happy new year.

Happy New Year DPC ! I enjoyed the episode 10 a lot, and I'm already eager to play the 11th episode ! Reading the number of animations already done is a blast. Keep going doc !
Mariusvdp
85 renders sounds insane, good Job. Happy New year!
avidnarutofan#7393
I was hoping you could help me. I was a part of the discord server but was booted for some reason. As far as a I know, I committed no offence and was not informed of the reason. I have tried rejoining with the link on your patreon page but that doesn't work. It shows the server is active but I can't physically join. It says the link has expired. My patreon is linked to discord.

Sound awesome and Happy New Year Doc
Kalveren
YEAH! more polling, voting and such.
