I'm obviously not going to bet on it since it does seem pink is increasing content and therefore production timelines, but... He did release Interlude early in March and then get episode 9 out for Christmas, so it's not impossible.

Working on the basis of a February 28th release, he'd probably have to drop to something like 250 animations (Presuming no system upgrades and the 6.4 average he did this episode) to get a beta testing window in before a pre christmas release. If he does 390+ animations again, then we're talking a May 2026 release.

Since episode 11 is coming out at the beginning of the year, we will DEFINITELY get episode 12 by the end of the year. That’s how it works, right?

Yes. But you left out the word "next" before "year" in the part "by the end of the year".

has cbt (dpc) ever addressed why he refuses to hire people to help him with at least shit like posing and rendering scenes?
or does he just say that he's a "perfectionist" and doesn't trust other people to have any control over his "masterpiece"?
he ain't beating the milker allegations with this one

I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Good on you for still having some hope but prepare yourself for having that crushed. Between all the story threads and all the branching we're not going to get any significantly smaller episodes until things start getting wrapped up.

It's called his ego, and rumour has it can be seen from space on cloudless days

we gotta make high quality porn games more mainstream so that he has ACTUAL competition and shit like this wouldn't fly without him losing supporters

My pet theory is that when it came time for Arieth to take the pregnancy test she wasn't able to figure out the directions, so when Quinn also came in to the restroom she bugged her about how to do it. Quinn tries to explain to her multiple times (in a Who's On First routine) until Quinn gets mad enough and says, "Just give it here and I'll show you." and demonstrates the process.

Thus Quinn's alarmed expression when Tremolo tells her that Arieth is pregnant.

Arieth tells Quinn she is pregnant, and Quinn tells MC.

Imagine paying a girl something like five bucks for sex

My god Quinn with the hotties you have the prices should be at least $1000 minimum.

Well that threesome with her and Rio was later stated to be $500

if he had sufficient competition, the market would toss him off his high horse and he would eventually have to do so if he wanted to keep making the game without people tossing it aside for such long development times

Here is the money pickup guide, it is mostly focused on people who play with no mini games. Pickups are illustrated from Chapter 1-6.

I planned to write a guide on how to use the money most efficiently, I will do it after Chapter 11 and see if anything has changed, and if there's any downsides to just using the fishes as a bank

Do these only work if you're not playing with mini-games?

You can kinda guess, ego, his vision of the game and finally money.

If he works on it by himself, he gets all 6 digit money and more without paying someone else for work, that may be not to his standards and have a different vision on various poses.

I would do the same thing if I made a game like this except for the ego.

my guess is that between January and February 2026, but perhaps even earlier, the next chapter will be released, which will be the first half-chapter of DPC, this time it didn't make it in time, but from the next one it will switch to half chapters, so he will “apparently” reduce the time frame

Here we go again.

The amount of work DPC puts out in a single release is more than just about any other dev puts out in x number of releases in the same timespan.

One can argue that the story can be planned and written in such a way so as to chop up a single release into 2, maybe even 3 releases. That is a valid argument. (For the record, I'm firmly in this camp.)

And the fact that you think the "perfectionist" argument is flawed is very indicative of how you don't understand what is involved in creating a game. Anybody who thinks hiring more people will make things go faster has no clue how project management works. You are simply trading in a creative process (something DPC enjoys) for a boring and tedious process (something DPC doesn't enjoy at all).

What one can't legitimately say is that this is a milking issue. What it is, is a bunch of crybabies that think the world revolves around them and they are entitled to get what they want when they want it issue.

He's not milking it, he's overdoing it. Unfortunately there's a very good chance him doing whatever he feels like instead of keeping it neat and tight is why he enjoys it (and it shows he enjoys it), so that's what we get.

I don't disagree. In fact, there isn't just a very good chance DPC is doing that, but he's been on the record stating he's doing exactly that. Since the days of AL, DPC has outright said he'll games the way he wants, not just the story but also the process, regardless of what other people says. So he's been consistent from day 1. It's really nothing new on that front.

Look! The newbs are shitposting again. It must be that time of the year. I love how they think they know how someone should create their own game. And they must be socialists, right? Piracy is a form of communism, right? No money, shared among peers? Not only do they want to steal his shit, but they want to direct production.
