Is it known what is the bottleneck for producing a new Episode?
- writing the story?
- inventing and implementing mini-games?
- posing the scenes?
- rendering the scenes and animations?
- coding the overall game?
- adding more music?

???

Any chance that DPC may reduce production time back to 6-12 months by renting/setting up a (bigger) render farm?

Could be worse, could be the FISHING MINIGAME
Oh jfc, please no. Actual fishing minigame (the sort ever other fucking computer game seems to find mandatory) would be a genuine (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ moment.

DPC spend way to much time on Bianca this episode for it to be just nothing.
DPC spends way too much time on pretty much anything, though. Going with this logic Madame Rose will turn out crucial to the game outcome because how much time he sank in that. :sneaky:

I have a suspicious feeling this might end up being true :HideThePain:

Its like a gazillion episodes later. It means nothing and never will.
Hahaha a certain variable about sharing Cathy info with Derek would disagree.

Just wait till there's a check for Nikita to see if you drew dicks on the picture way back in episode1

Didn't notice it before but Oscar got fucked up by Tommy if you punch/throw him out of the party. Since MC tells Tommy that he tried to get together with Josy but then was rude to her and called her a bitch.

I punched him too, DIK brothers for life.

Its not nearly as earthshattering as the Cathy cluck sharing. The consequences are not nearly the same. One is a simple statement the other not so much

I sure hope you supported Steve :sneaky:
With Steve its simple. Regardless if you are DIK or Chick. Its whether you are a monster or a decent human being. Its one thing to make fun of him at the start. But doing the right thing is something different. That being said. This is a variable that might come and bite us in he ass.

There is no real bottleneck, though some would argue its caused by the animations. The basics is though DPC does not like his rigs sitting idle, so he set them off doing what he needs to, then gets on with other things, meanwhile making sure that render queue s always full

Then through planing everything finishes at the same time.

A better rig would only result in idle machines so to make sure they're not idle, well he'd up the quality or increase the numbers

In cases of other devs, yeah more machines = faster dev time. In DPC's case nope, he will cook it for as long as it needs and you just have to wait.

Hot Yoga girl: sorry I'm not staying at college I have to go home and help my brother
MC oh no I hope he's alright
HYG: I'm not sure he works in a shop and has been in a downward spiral since some of the staff left
MC: understandable, retail can be stressful
HYG: yeah it didn't help that the staff drew dicks all over his employee of the month picture
MC: oh fuck....

You might have a chance if you came back and was nice to him during the Josy trip.
