Also on a sidenote, I'm sure other game devs are paying attention to Being a DIK and trying to make games as good as this. Even if we wait for years for Being a DIK to end, I'm sure there will be new games which will be just as good maybe even better than BaDIK.
That's true, everyone needs a mountaintop to strive for. DPC raises the bar for all developers. They all would like to have his popularity.

College Kings seem to be an exact clone of Being a Dik. Just some tweak here and there. But that game is gaining alot of support with a really short period but its still far away from Being a Dik in term of animation.
I was surprised by the support it has. The only thing I don't like in CK is the fight minigame, in badik is way more easy.

She's already seen it in the showers after the tennis match
Well...for some. Those on Neutral or DIK route don't have that happen.

Honestly? I'm fine with Jill's sex scenes(if they ever happen) being awkward. As the story progresses she'll probably open up more, and not in a corruption type of way.
Ya I am, too - I kinda hope she's a virgin - the thing is DPC needs to hurry up and get the sex moving so that we can potentially progress past the awkward virgin scene to more fun stuff. The awkward type scene early on would serve to promote the relationship development and intimacy which isn't a bad thing, IMO.

CK is buggy as fuck. Phone constantly showing new messages when there are no new messages, and it's the only game I played where saves made with the current version of the game didn't work, but saves from the previous update work fine

Thats the hope. I mean, irregardless, DPC is going to hit a critical mass problem at some point, where he's just got too much to do facing time problems. And unless he loses his passion and quits, or decides to finally hire someone(s), a plateau for game size/dev time has to happen.
The thing I sometimes worry about is that they will think that they have to keep exceeding each episode when they really don't. I'm sure this episode will be quite be jam-packed like the last one was, and with the exception of the DnG, it did quite a lot to at least advance the in-game time even if didn't entirely advance the story that much.

It seems like that might be the right formula of having lots going on and advancing the plot gradually, and if they can do that effectively with 5000+ renders and 200+ animations per episode, then they shouldn't need to keep going bigger.

There's been a general trend to longer release times and I haven't seen anything that would make me think the releases would come quicker.

I find the 14 to 20 episodes answer to be a bit confusing though and I can't quite make up my mind as to whether he's serious or not. First I can't see the current story lines going on for another 8 episodes, let alone 14. Maya/Josey, Jill, and Sage's stories are pretty well advanced, I can't see how he could stretch them out that long. There's also his past announcements, just within the past year he's said three season's/12 episodes, three season's/10 episodes, and now 14 to 20 and God knows how many season's.
Unless they do what some TV shows do which is have a particular crisis/drama in the first half of the season that gets mostly resolved, and then leads into a whole new crisis/drama in the 2nd half of the season. In the case of this game, maybe most crises/dramas might resolve themselves by the end of Season 2, and then a whole new set will start with Season 3.

And writing.

Kind of funny that we also have University of Problems, which is another clone, really. And both take this singular aspect of BADIK to ramp up. CK takes the fighting. UoP tries to subvert the "sorority of whores" concept.
Haven't played College Kings but have played UoP and really enjoying it so far. I don't really see it as a BaDIK clone because I think it feels very different. I think the issue here is that any college-based adult game is going to get compared to BaDIK even if it's a totally different kind of game.

Thats the problem with ambition. You get ambitious. Never about practical need, but personal need. And alas, that sort of thing is tied into why DPC is good at what he does. Strip that, and you lose the quality.

I'm a bit behind, to be fair. I should catch up.
N7 comes with the Wallpaper but it is going to send it in pieces to several users, so we have to put the puzzle together
N7 is Casmyr confirmed.

It's probably how long their PCs take to render, I don't think he's sitting around waiting for them to finish
Yeah, you can't work non-stop from dawn until after midnight every day for years. You need breaks for food, toilet, rest, etc. and he apparently is married so no wife is going to allow that, I don't care how much money he is making for her.

He's working from home at a time when people are staying home more than ever.

I guess Pinkcakes can be like us, and use that time to rub out to his or other games, or he can use that time to get paid.

Even taking away outdoors time due to pandemic, the average work day is 8 hours, I assume Sweden is same as here. Adding in a commute to and from and you looking at 10 maybe more. It's not far fetched that he's actual working for at least half the day.

For me BaDik is the best in terms of a university theme or plot, i don't think any other vn can surpass it in terms of quality. The only vn that could have the same quality or could be even better than BaDik is Summers Gone.
Cinematics part is where BaDIK lags behind SG

for eg- Insted of picnic CGs he should make some good short movies like SG has

Half the day, I'll buy that, but 18 hours a day, 7 days a week, for years,no holidays? ...fuck no.

In my numerous playthroughs, my mc wins every fight without a mistake (except for my wimp playthrough where the mc got trashed by everyone...) so it does annoy me that Dawe landed his sucker punch right after the MC took out all four Alphas, that Tommy managed to give the MC a black eye, and that Chad gets a hit in at the beginning and end of their rumble, but then minutes later some chick was sucking on the mc's dick and I forgot all about it... :sneaky:
Ya I agree it annoys me that Tommy wasn't all black and blue on the face afterward but MC has a black eye even though MC kicked the crap out of him...makes no sense.

I don't mean to offend anyone, but one thing I noticed when I recently replayed the game for the paths I didnt have....

MC has an awful haircut. Like that thing is bad. My guy is in thorough need of a lineup and to shave whatever that is on top of his head. He'd look a lot better with a default brush cut.

Is DPC American? I dont think ive ever seen MC's haircut in America.
Not offending me, you're just calling a spade a spade. His haircut is AWFUL. I've said that since the first time I played the game over a year ago.

This week I worked mainly on static renders and a few animations.

Something I worked extra hard on this week was environment design, and I will have to continue to work on this and the last free-roam event next week. It will be a fairly big free-roam event, but work should be progressing at a steady pace.

I have written plenty of the script too, and I only have a handful more scenes to write.

On top of the free-roam event, static renders and writing; I have some work left with phone content, mini-games and music/sound.

I cannot estimate how long this will take, but I can feel that the episode must be at least 80% complete in terms of content (static renders/animations/GUI elements).

The final percentages always take the longest to complete, as polishing and wrapping things up are needed, but we are in the end-game of development of this beast of an episode.

Something new that I can reveal for you today is the episode title, and it will be:

Episode 7 - True Colors

10,000 Patrons wallpaper series
For the fifteenth wallpaper, I give you Nora. Download the full resolution versions in the attachments below.
