VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.11.1] [DrPinkCake]

[Darkwen]

I'm betting on E12 taking 15-18 months of development time, branching is a motherfucker to deal with. I think he even said in one of his Q&As that he didn't even know how he wanted to structure E9 until quite a bit of development time had passed by, which kind of explains why there's a bunch of flashbacks in the episode.

if you include release date then ep11 took 15 months considering DPC wants to make everything bigger adding 2 or 3 months might be smart which would be 17-18 months for 12. During development for 11 DPC admitted to considering breaking the ep into two parts this might be foolish on my part but I'm hoping he does that this ep other wise it going to be close to two years.

Each episode keeps 1 upping the last on branching, were almost at Yggdrasil levels of branching
To be fair i've never been totally let down by an episode yet so I don't mind the wait

Splitting up might be a smart move on his part. It's an easy way to get quite a few one-month subs for people who can't wait for it to be leaked or only become a sub when the new version is released.

If he were to split it into parts it would probably result in even longer dev times because he feels that he has to make up for the split, or, he feels free to "flesh it out" more, resulting in E12 probably taking at least 2 years collectively. Maybe that's just me being cynical.

If he did it that we could get part one by Christmas then part two by June if we lucky but question is will DPC do that, I hope but we will see

ep12 already going to be near two years anyway the difference we get haft of it faster

Indeed. Also, this might bite us in the ass as well, if DPC decides to make the halfway point an even bigger cliffhanger than the end of ep 10 or 11. Ah well, I'd rather wait 7-9 month for half an episode, than 15-18 for a complete one.

true it could backfire but 9 months is better then 18

Kinda crazy to think we're at the point that 2 years wait is being realistic, I envy people that will play the complete version of this as their first ever play through, they'll never get to know what it was like waiting between episodes

Tremolo Youtube channel keeps posting the Episode 11 soundtrack.
This moment was incredibly emotional and just won the episode for me. How mature and deep Sage's route became, leaving all the others unrivaled, although many others were also good. But nothing compares to this when she talks about her real mother, and he is the only person Sage has shared this with.
I think finding Sage's mother should be part of her arc in Season 4, and MC will be there for her during this moment.

Im thinking a year and a half myself

so, I've been a member here on this forum for some years and I rarely post, that being said I have a question to ask, has there been any headway on identifying who Madame Rose is? I have my own theory and I believe it to be Tommy's Mom, a sort of Stifflers Mom situation. We have seen most of the parents of the LI's and a few of the side characters as well, but I'll be honest I've not seen Tommy's Mom, unless she was around during that time the MC goes back to that date with Josy in the first season.
In any case its probably left of field but I've not seen any other theories about her and just wanted to add my measly 2 cents.

Hasn't there been enough of Madame Rose already?

There are many theories who she is, the most popular being Sage's biological mom. Unfortunately really known though.

My own theory is that she's Vivian.

It would be shitty move. I would write much darker.

The crazy part by then will might be in the same state as Fanz

She does appear in the background of Sage's date... Coincidence? I think yes...

I had that theory too, it would be an interesting conundrum if the MC has sex with Sage , Jade and Madame.

What if the locked door turns out to be another wet fart of a cliffhanger? "Oh no, you guys discovered my beanie babies collection!"

I mean... I wouldn't mind a sex dungeon
But even if it's purely innocent—aka not stupid—it still has to make Maya stop in her tracks while her brother is bleeding to death (exaggerating of course) from his missing finger, make MC's heart beat real loud, and have Bella look shocked that they opened the door.

I agree, this is way more likely, though it's funny to contemplate absurd options. Like Bella helping train a group of circus clowns to all fit in a tiny car by stuffing 30 of them in that tiny room.

A storage room wouldn't make MC's heart pound I think.

I got it...it's a storage room full of those creepy china dolls whose eyes seem to follow you! Maybe possessed dolls and since Bella wasn't the one to open the door, Maya has unleashed the spirits... Okay, probably not possessed unless DPC is turning this into a horror game.

Maybe it's a room full of those possessed dolls we see during 7 minutes with Sally in Leon's room xD
