If you don't count the interlude it will be a year since episode 8. The interlude didn't advance the story, characters or relationships of BaDIK it just gave us some background of a basically new character and had some characters we will probably never see again. It has been a year since the last update to the main BaDIK game.
Nah, it definitely is. That's not even ... that's like someone saying 1 + 1 = 2 then saying "no idea if it is". Like what? That's basic.No idea if it is. I'm just surprised that DPC explicitly mentions it, because he never mentioned it before, because it's not really worth mentioning.
But you can't ignore the interlude. It's there. It's part of the story. Like it or not, it IS an update. And given the whole game isn't out yet, you have no idea how important it is to the story, but DPC (who, after all, is the only one who DOES know the whole story) felt it was important enough to take the time. And, of course, he spent time before the release on the Steam release as well. So, again, you've got 7 months on this update so far, and approximately 85-90% completion. How do imagine future releases would be a year?
Yea the "slow as a turtle sex scenes" were always something that just seemed kind of unimpressive but I would always forget about. No real changes to the renders either. That was actually an interesting point to bring up. I wonder if ep 9 will be different in that regard with how long the animations are holding things up.You seem to missed out when I specifically pointed out, he didn't feel the need to put more, useless shit in to it. Interestingly, he was able to tell the story, with less renders, and in many people eyes, Season 1 is supperior to season 2 .
It had a visible progress, inside and outside of the game. and as much as I enjoyed the overall story of Dng, let's be real, the actual, imaginary Sex scenes, didn't add anything to the story at all.
the Dng, could work without it anyway, and it would been faster too.
and the sex scenes overall, very similar anyway. MC always end up magically, full naked even if the girls keep some cloth part on themself, MC is fully naked, in the very first moment the animation start .
The speed of the sex is always as slow as a turtle. The girls make-up, never once ruined, except one time Sage's. the position and method, is pretty much the same.
all these "extra work " somehow, less and less justifiable when the development 8-9 month.
and don't even start with the " He is a Perfectionist" bullshit, we have very nice collection of images and animations that show, just how much not true that is. I didnt even realized how stupid, even Josy can look sometime.

Lilly's ass, is another intresting one, and Jill have a running joke about her that will forever be in history, long after world war 3 .
and a list can go on and on.
No, he definitely, worked way harder, when he had less patreon, when this was just a hobby side project. Nowadays he simply, comfortable, with this above 10.000 patreon, He know, he does not have to provide the content in reasonable, time, people like you will celebrate him, like he can walk on water no matter what he does.
Some even go that far, that try to be smart ass arrogant little pricks, by telling others that "you not paying him, so you can't criticize him". Pathetic.
Guess what, I'm glad, I don't give him a single penny. I could pretty much just throw my money out of the window, or legit burn it, for 8 month and I would be in the same position.
7.5 animations per week. That's a big "Ouch". Also that long animation was finished at the start of September? Jeez, I could've sworn that it was at the end. Why is that whole month just a blank for me?
Yeah it is there. I can easily ignore it and just get some bullet points about it from someone. Even after having a game about her I feel like I know more about Maya's past and her relationship with Josy from some talking and flashbacks than I do about Zoey's past and her relationship to the MC. It isn't really a part of the story just a bit of background on Zoey.
I know it isn't that important to the story because we only saw a small part of the MC and his relationship with Zoey. We don't know why DPC made it. He could have had no idea what to do with episode 9 so he made a new short game while he was fleshing out the story for ep 9. Zoey may be his favourite character he has made and wanted to put a huge focus on her. This could have also just been a test for his next game to see if he could make a game with a female MC and see how his patreons reacted to a female MC. We don't really know why he made it.
Yes 7 months to make this update but it is still a year since the last episode that advanced the story, characters and relationships in BaDIK. I never said future releases would be a year and if DPC concentrates on BaDIK and doesn't make new games I don't think future releases will take a year for a while. If he doesn't lose Patreons and they don't complain I can see episodes taking a year when he gets to episode 13+ especially if Zoey becomes a main LI with her own branch which I am sure is going to happen.
Again, it is 7 months since the last update. End of story. You don't get to pretend the interlude isn't an update, and you have no idea if it progresses the story. It doesn't matter if you don't like it. It is an update. Any suggestion of "a year since the last update" is factually incorrect. It is, as it were, a dead parrot! It's not just resting. It's not stunned. It's plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead. It's not pinning for the fjords.
) but with the knowledge that every delay doesn't have any harsh consequences for him in financial things (speaking of he hasn't enough money to pay the primary bills).
You can say many things about DPC but he's not a lazy dev. There are hundreds of devs around to compare his work with.lazy. is the perfect word, especially, if we count that he did not worked because "someone hurt his business ", and his poor soul felt discouraged to work. and btw the whole issue was fixed literally a minute after he complained
I could call him even sloppy , that would hold some merit too. considering some of his render, and animation. lily's ass. Jill's face, etc. The way MC fuck, he literally, have the same motion in every sex scene, the same position, the same arm placement etc.
They can go and give me all the facepalm if this makes them feel better, I give them back, nice little fun, that change nothing regarding of the fact that he is lazy .
everyone know here , that he could create, the episode faster and as much effective, and probably with more consistent storytelling, like he did in season 1. back when it was a "side project", which he only worked on during his FREE TIME.
if he wanted he does not want it, simple is that. He doesn't have to because simps will pay him even if episode 9 comes out next year. and they praise it even if will not live up to expectation, which it won't , btw.
so in the end of the day what I said is true, like it or not, wont change it. He got comfortable, and he can be lazy all he want, because there is no deadline. " It will be finished when it's finished , shut up and give me your money and be greatful that you can give me your money, but be careful, i might ban you if your not a good little consumer "
DPC is not the first and wont be the last developer who is like this, so there is that if it makes folks feel better. Its always the same: "If you like the game support me, supporting mean, I can do this full time job, which mean more content and faster development time " - except that never happens.
apparently the 4090 is like 60% faster than the previous graphic card generation
Why isn't the interlude called episode 9 then? it's a year since the last episode or update that progressed the story.
I played it and know it doesn't progress the story. The final few seconds of the interlude start a new story of the MC and Zoey but it does not progress the story or anything that happened in the last 8 episodes. Also an interlude is a break in the story.
It is a year since the last episode of BaDIK. The interlude may be referenced in BaDIK and a character will be in BaDIK but it is not episode 9 and does not contain any of the BaDIK story.
right? I was reading through the latest comments to see how far along episode 9 is and all I see is people bitching about the dumbest shit. Being a dik is a really good game but come on to get so heated over a game is pathatic. Does these people not have anything better to do than to bitch about release dates or who's right and who's wrong? Worse part of all is most of em are probably pirates who aren't contributing shit to the game or DPC but for some reason feels entitled to bitch
if DPC's a milker or Lazy than don't support him, don't play his game. But the reality is each and every one of those people bitching aren't going anywhere, they'll still play his game for free and they'll still come here to bitch afterwards.Well said this is going to be fair chunk of an update but people moaning just look at the other high quality games that have just released or going to be soon these dev's all have hurdles to overcome especially with the musicright?

How can you call him lazy or a milker? Chip, I'm trying to understand your logic, but I can't. Update sizes are growing, and this is inevitable. In a branching story, the number of paths grows as you develop, and nothing can be done about it. DPC is a perfectionist fanatic who is obsessed with his game and tries to get the most out of it. Have you seen the quality of the visuals in the Ep9 preview? This begs the question why it's taking so long. He constantly tries to surpass his previous work and raises the bar of quality.
For example, I like free roams. This gives the feeling that I'm playing a serious game, rather than point and click to scroll through the pictures. I feel more immersed in the world. I also like mini-games (not all of them). You need to be careful when cutting content, because it will always cause dissatisfaction.
