Status update Episode 3
🕑 Added 2019-07-26 07:59:57 +0000 UTCI had a super productive week. Working one week full-time like this was amazing for me and for the game.
The current status of the development is very exciting!
I have finished almost every coding task and posed almost all static renders left for the episode. I have 6 animations left to pose and, in total, 14 left to render.
What this means is that there are some posing, beta testing, proof reading and waiting time left before I can release the Episode.
I have tried to predict the time it will take to render the remaining animations, which is the bottle neck. I estimate it to take somewhere between 2-3 weeks to render all of them to completion. Some animations will take 5 days each to render, due to their quality and length.
Nevertheless, I'm now positive that August is the release month for Episode 3. I cannot give an exact release date right now.
What can you expect from the episode?
Expect a lengthy Episode containing ~2300 renders and 98 animations.
This Episode is by far the biggest single release I've ever produced. I have revamped a lot of the game and I really hope you enjoy my efforts!
One thing I'm particularly excited about is a new in-game social media app named "Rooster". The tweets I have posted IRL on Twitter will also appear in the game, where other students at B&R interact with them.
This is a teaser image of that app.
Acting Lessons
On top of these news, it's a big day today! Acting Lessons is now released on Steam!
You get 10% off during the first week at Steam.
Earlier this week I held a lottery for 100 Steam keys and all winners have been notified and received their keys. Congratulations to all winners!
To all former and current patrons, thank you all for making this possible! It was a "silly" dream when I started this and thanks to you it's now a surreal reality.
I have updated the links to Acting Lessons v1.0.1 for PC, macOS and Linux. Get it here if you want to play it again, but please note that the experience will pretty much be the same as in v1.0.0.
Have a nice weekend!

Your games are awesome. I played Acting Lessons and couldn't help but to sub and play Being a DIK. Can't wait for Episode 3. Keep up the good work!

This new Episode is looking awesome, I really like that you take so much time and care into the small details of the game. It really does make your games the best adult gamea on Patreon. As I loved Acting Lessons I have still got to play though it again choosing all the different roots. Oh and Liam is still awesome.

VA has been postponed until a later point. There are too many risks involved doing it at an early stage in development and I frankly can't afford it at the moment. A long term goal is to include VA for the game. It will likely be close to when the game is complete.
Is it just me, or is there a bug with the voices of the main characters in Episode 2? Cause in Episode One the Main girls had a voice but as soon as I started episode 2 the voice was gone?

It depends on what you mean by "bigger". Last update (Episode 1 and 2) was ~2.5GB. This update will be slightly bigger than 4GB. In terms of length, maybe 10-20% longer, going by how long the script is compared to episode 2. But this update has branches, so it's hard to tell. Expect the same length as Episode 2 for one playthrough and that you can't see everything on one playthrough.
