No spoiler discussion in the comments, please. Many haven't played yet.Today, the v0.6.1 patch was made available for the $5 tier. Please note that you need the full Patreon version (v0.5.0 up to v0.6.0) to be able to patch the game to v0.6.1.

This week I've been writing and posing animations while testing the new GPUs.

The speed is truly amazing and I've been increasing the length of the animations so far and also increased the render quality.

42 animations of varied length (1-20 seconds) are complete already.

I've estimated that the efficiency of these cards is 400 frames (or static renders), per day. 400 frames is equal to a ~13.3s animation @30fps.

Just as I thought, the bottleneck has thus shifted from animations to manual labor; including writing, coding, posing renders, post-processing art, and more.

When it comes to future updates, the goal for me isn't to stress and release them faster, but to include the content I want and increase the quality of the art.

If an update is released faster than usual, it's a happy bonus. Regardless, development has gotten a huge boost, all thanks to you.

Poll news

The winner in the poll for an extra wallpaper was Jill with the option front focus. I will order and include this 2D wallpaper in Episode 7.

In December, there will be new polls to participate in.

Walkthrough news

I will write the walkthrough soon and release it to the $15 tier. It should be ready sometime in early to mid-December.

Getting the development for episode 7 up and running smoothly takes priority at the moment.

Have a nice weekend

Going from 30 to 60 would literally double the workload though

Some small feedback. Some of the looped animations in ep. 6 was rather clunky. Like the person starts in a still position, then move for 2-3 seconds and then stop again for a second before the animation restart. A looped animations shouldn't stop before it restarts. It needs to be continuous to feel realistic. I realize this is much more difficult. But some of the animations are already good at this. Maybe I'm a bit extreme but personally I even prefer the static renders to the clunky animations. It's just not engaging looking at a poorly cut loop. Anyway, keep up the good job, love the game!

MattL

Good question then is how would it impact the total file size, knowing that chap 1-6 is already 10+ GB

Matt

awesome news, keep it up DPC!

Messè

Thanks for the Status Update and for your hard work, as always! <3 Have a nice weekend, too!

Mike Stefan

Awesome work so far, thanks for the update! Have a nice weekend! :)

Mike Stefan

I agree, there are some clunky loops, especially towards the end. (That doesnt count as a spoiler, does it?^^)

DrPinkCake

Hm, everything is smooth on my end. Some animations may be hardware demanding. Make sure you have the highest FPS and G-sync off on your monitor.

DrPinkCake

No, that would be to throw away the advantage of posing longer animations. Not a good solution for me.

Sadie Adler

Oh nooo, Bella didn't win this time 😥😭😭😭 MEGA SAD!!!

Bodin

It's not an FPS problem, it's the composition of the loops. To avoid spoilers I'll PM you a few screenshots of some scenes that I felt was not as good.

Daeworn

I guess her turn will come. Since there are 3 levels (if I remember correctly) of 2D posters from Jacob in game ;-)

DrPinkCake

I fiddled a bit with this just now and understand the issue in those animations you sent. Short answer "big boobs need different treatment". I'll pay extra attention to this in the future and I learned something from testing new things. Thanks!

RogueRat

RESPECT - for he who creates this game!

Victor Marca

Quinn is the worst. IDK who keeps keeps voting for her but whoever it is they probably like to dip their french fries in chocolate or some weird shit like that. Sage, Josy, Jill, Jade, are all that matter in the animations. Don’t let an ep skip one of them w/out a major scene again!

VK

Lol

Arctic Alpha

I'm one of those Quinn-loving weirdos.

Fernando

thanks for this good news DPC, I am very excited to play ep 7

Jill Valentine

Thanks for the update DrPinkCake 🖤

Theralyst

I think quinn is one of the best written characters in the game. The more we see of her the higher up she goes in my rankings. Currently sitting at #2 behind Sage

Gritty1983

even if you do not like Quinn Victor you cannot deny Quinn/MC would be the baddest couple at B&R, they would own the hallways

Victor Marca

Sry Dr. Will remove 🤙🏻

Ryan Coronel

Random question, have you made an actual figure of the heights of the main girls? Didn’t realise there was such a difference when say josy and Jill are standing nearby

KJS

Happy to help an artist get better brushes

Jdog

whens jill getting the high hard one?

DrPinkCake

The girls' heights have been modeled since their models were created. There are many things that affect the perception of their heights, i.e. camera angle, pose, shoes. Josy is among the shortest girls in the game and Jill/Sage/Bella/Nora and probably some more I don't think of right now, are the tallest.

Jamison

last weeks update said that each main girl will get a long animation in ep 7, so hopefully ep 7

Jamison

some people like quinn, others don't, matter of personal preferences. IRL I would never go for a woman like quinn, the conniving/druggy stuff is a massive turn off for me, but then again I'm a rare breed.

Blackbeard

all i can say is from episode 6 so far amazing for the type of game it is your top of the game please keep it up you put story into the vn and it matchs with the genre better then a lot of others do liking it so far hoping for a long story xD

Qayen

I will not stand for this slander on best girl Quinn!! Ok but I think I like all girls except I'm slightly meh on Josy lol. Feels bad to see Maya so unpopular among the Patrons.

Happyfuntimes

I have a question, I couldn't find the songs that played in the picnic scene on the list just wondering what they are. Absolutely love this game by the way.

DrPinkCake

Those are licensed music for one-time use within the game. They have to be handled in a separate way than CC0 music.

Happyfuntimes

Would you be able to give the names of the songs in the picnic scene, I really enjoyed one of them. Thanks for replying as well I appreciate it.

Lusty Loiterer

Love this game, keep up the good work and don't worry about the time it takes the quality is outstanding.

DrPinkCake

Third time on this page: No spoiler discussion in the comments, please. Many haven't played yet.

Sorry if this is wrote somewhere obvious, but is there a planned amount of Seasons? I think I remember it saying somewhere there is four episodes per Season, but nothing about how many Seasons there will be. Also whilst looking through to find the answer, found out it was just one person working on this, that is mental, mad respect DPC.

DrPinkCake

At least three seasons. When I know more, I will let everyone know.

E46 Gaming

Hope the game lasts until atleast the mc get's done with 2 years of college :)

Qayen

Same, I'm wondering if there's gonna be a timeskip or the story won't cover the full college life, seeing as we're approaching Episode 7 now and the story timeline has only been a few weeks.

RC

I hope DPC keeps this going for a long long long time . I love the stories ,and the characters ,so many way ,and so well done . Thank you DrPinCake . Better than any tv series , ( I don't want it to end !!!! )

Gritty1983

and all those tv series are done by teams of people... DPC does it alone, truly amazing, guys talent belongs in hollywood

Jayden

not as good as twilight saga

Sypher

As long as DPC doesn't go the AL route. :)

Jayden

I love games with multiple choice consequences
