It's my pleasure to announce the release dates for:

View attachment 4573427

  • Huge DIK tier and above (+$25): Friday, March 7
  • DIK tier and above ($10+): Monday, March 10
  • Mini DIK tier ($5): Friday, March 21 (Patch only, needs Season 3 base game to play)
Beta testing is going smoothly. However, given the size of the update and the amount of branching, it will take some more time to be completed fully. The aim is to give you a smooth experience on release and test as much of the content and variations as possible.

The full download for v0.11.0 will be around 18.2 GB, and the patch will be ~6.2 GB.

If you want to patch your game, you will need an unmodified v0.10.0 or v0.10.1 game. Instructions on how to patch your game are provided in the zip file that you download. If you're not comfortable patching the game, I recommend that you download the full version instead.

Make sure to save your game at the end of Episode 10 when the game tells you to. This is the only save point that I guarantee works.

To avoid bugs and crashes, your save files need to be free from mods.

Make sure you treat Season 3 as a stand-alone game and don't merge it with Season 1 or Season 2 data. Merging the game with Seasons 1 and 2 will corrupt both games.

Always make backup copies of your games.

Let the countdown begin.

Love

So will epsiode 11 be posted on f95 right after the patreon release on March 7 or it's gonna take a few days?
It has always been leaked after 25 minutes or so.

Btw, you should always trust us old timers and ignore the rest.

In October WE told you guys that this episode would have come out in March. In October.

In January WE told you that the release date would have been 7-14 March. And 7 March it is.

Now you should remember who the dudes who kept repeating that the beta testing would have lasted 1 week are.

Enough said.

Question is, what wouid DPC mean with the title "Paradigm shift". There are a lot of secrets/unknowns that could come to light (or unravel even further) that would drastically change the point of view of many of the characters:

- Sage could find out about the Quinn's restaurant
- Jill could find out that Lana still lives
- Maya will find out the truth about the loan and that it might even be worse than she expected
- Isabella could find out James still lives
- Sage and/or Jade finds proof of Stephen having sex with students
- One or more of the people we trust (none of them being DIKs) was working with Vinnie all along
- Quinn being related to someone we already know

Just to name a couple of theories I've read here. I'm only wondering about Josy (if every girl in the banner indeed has such a moment, since DPC is known for dropping subtle and less subtle hints). I have no idea what kind of secret will turn her world upside down.
Doesn't Jade already know Stephen was having sex with students? I believe it is 1 of the reasons she started flirting with MC, and why she was mad at Stephen during the 1 bathroom scene with MC

Yeah Stephen told her that he did it with three students, it’s safe to assume the takeouts

nice to see we finally have a relese date for ep 11 but makes me wonder why march 7 i get that the episode is bigger then the rest but 2 more weeks seems a bit overkill and i bet the ep will have bugs and typos no matter how much they beta test was expecting end of february relese but i hope we get to see what happens to Rio and this whole kidnapeing stuff going down and the story progresses and not just ends on another cliffhanger ending
To maximize profits boy I thought it was obvious.:BootyTime:

She knows, but she can't prove it. Like in a courtroom. Which is important in legal situations.

I Agree with the lazy part. when Vince tried to confront Quinn of selling to the strippers, and that she is breaking the rules. She could have said that she already knew that he was selling to Tommy and that wasn't his territory.
Except Vinny seems a lot more willing and capable of violence than Quinn. I can't see her directly confronting him. If she has a problem with him breaking the agreement, she would go to Buddy.

xcept he talked to her first. talking isnt fighting, and by simply deflecting his accusations by saying hey you sold to Tommy wich is outside ur territory as well, just as we agreed, even if he denies it, she can simply say, okey shall we get tommy in here then?

offcourse he can take things further if he so wants to, but like i said, deflecting is the best workaround to get him to back off, especialy since she used his words against himself.

As for the whole drug operations, everyone knows its a risky business. and money aint guaranteed. Quinn propably has just enough money to pay up her debt. she gets out, tells everyone about Vinny, and ruins his business as well.
wich at that point he has to either use violence, wich seeing he already has eyes on him, wont help him at all, or he can move to another area and we'll be rid of him as well. or if someone really has to die, DPC can have him murdered.

She does know that he had sex with Cathy, and that it was at some kind of sex club (implied).
I don't remember the implied sex club, but I do know she knows about Cathy. I still find it weird that she still sees her as her best friend despite this.

Also not in every state simple infidelity is enough (unless the prenup states it I believe) to screw the cheater over in a divorce. Sex with a student however is a completely different matter.

Wait he had sex with Cathy? I thought she was basically saying it to figure out who he was fucking. Jade accused stephen of fucking bella (It isn't the case). The only thing we can absolutely agree is that Stephen fucked 3 students, I believe from the prostitution ring.

And Honestly yall, you think Cathy would fuck Stephen of all people seeing how she was sex starved and very selective on who to fuck

Happy he's confirmed the date, taking 4 weeks over beta testing seems a bit much to me, but it is going to be a massive update so now some fun with numbers. These don't include Interlude. These are based on prduction weeks so don't include beta testing.

1740162757190.png 1740162774082.png 1740163917792.png

Production time for season 3 had already surpassed season 2 last episode. It now surpasses season 1 and 2 combined. As it stands season 3 will contain 45.5% of the still renders in the game and 44.5% of the animations, though the way animations were counted changed so this is a little unclear. Essentially after episode 8 he stopped counting each angle as an animation and started counting the combination of different angles as 1 animation.

These charts help explain some of the development time increase. Still renders this epsidoe are only around 750 short of the entire season one. Production time for season 1, 53 weeks. Episode 11 61 weeks.

1740163945434.png

That might seem bad but when you consider animations. Episode 11 contains 392 while season one contained 360. Even at the season one averages, animation production for these extra 32 would have added 4.7 weeks to production. So 57.7 compared to 61 which seems more reasonable.

1740163984740.png

Next we can see production week by episode. This speaks for itself.

1740164307359.png

Next is average still render production per week. This episode has continued the downward trend and now overtakes episode 10 as the lowest average still render production which itself was narrowly behind episode 1.

1740164427471.png

Finally animation production, it's slightly unfair to compare episodes 1-8 with episodes 9 to 11 due to the change in Pinks counting method. But we don't need these episodes to see quite clearly that the 60 fps decision has in fact significantly slowed production. During episode 10 some of the update was with the new 4090 cards and some was with the 3090's. Some were at 30fps and some at 60 fps. This resulted in a lower production speed than episode 9, and the first episode all on the new cards and call at 60 fps has dipped again. The second lowest average next to Episode 1.

1740164915499.png

So a very early forecast for next episode. If production size stays the same and he does a months of beta testing again May 29th 2026. Now it could be Pink upgrades to the 5090's once they are stable and not melting things, they seem to be around 30-40% so taking 35% as an average, he could hit 8.64 anaimations a week on average. Of course he hasn't done this yet, so it wouldn't be during the full production anyway. If it was starting from week one then he could hit 392 animations by January 16th.

So if content amount stays the same and no system upgrades, then late May 2026 and if production was abosulty optimal mid February 2026. For the sake of argument presuming a return to aorund 330 animations but no system upgrades, then a release late March is possible.

Overall i'd say next to no chance of episode 12 this year. He increased the number of animations by 10% from episode 9 to episode 10 and then 17% from episode 10 to 11. If he does that again, adding another 30-60 animations then we could easily be talking a July to August release.

It's not totally confirmed. In Episode 4 Jade told that one day Burke came home drunk after a successful stock trade, and not wanting to ruin his night she gave into him sexually but Burke started calling her Cathy.

Jade accused stephen of fucking bella (It isn't the case). The only thing we can absolutely agree is that Stephen fucked 3 students, I believe from the prostitution ring.
He said 3 but it could be lying. Maybe there were more.

I believe that! He basically wants Cathy or Bella, but they won't sleep with him.
Like I said before, Cathy was super sex starved for a college aged student via swiper and her bathtub.


And that is true, there could be more
