It'll take a while to play through 8 episodes. Might as well just start now then play ep 9. Or just wait like 5 years for the whole thing to finished.
But nah seriously. It'll probably take a few more years of waiting for the game to finish.

Well i guess to the people that said he will upgrade his setup and updates will come faster here's DPC response updates won't be coming any faster than this so i guess 1 update a year now.

i mean, i appreciate his work ethic and i trust that he isnt deliberately and maliciously stalling to get more money over time. but this does kinda seem like a long winded series of excuses that always amount to "it's my way or the highway" and implies that there is literally nothing possible on this earth that he could ever do to speed up production or to trim the fat overall on BaDIK. If every single major story beat is already "mapped out in advance", then there is no reason other than his own lack of self control (or desire to stall) for every episode to be bigger than the last and take longer to release.DPC said:
also some of the stuff he said is kinda confusing to me: like him talking about how if he didnt use his current system that players on different branching paths would have differing amounts of content. Do people expect every single path to have 1:1 ratio of equal content??? That seems stupid because each of the LIs have different stories, and they cant possibly all be of equal importance in the big picture. so some girls would get more content but that doesnt make it "wrong" that makes it a natural story that is not padded out with filler crap to make each path be "fair" and equal with the others. Like Sage and Maya are clearly major players in the story no matter what path you are on, so it makes perfect sense that if you are on their designated path that they will "feel" like the have more content because they kinda do and thats okay. then some of the other stuff he says kinda comes off as like veiled threats, which im not sure if that was his intention or not.
if i could ask him a question, it would be "Does he think its okay to continue to balloon each new episode, even though he said himself that everything is already planned out in advance?" If his answer is "no", then we dont share the same mindset. And id say that since he already makes more money than most of us combined ever will in our lifetimes, maybe if he decides to add new stuff that delays the episode (or make something like the Interlude) that he should pause all the donations on Patreon himself until he is back on schedule. just my two cents

No... He'll realize the earlier episodes lack animations and he'll pause further progress to remake the whole game.I mean if we get this update in january then we gonna have 2 updates in 2023...
Maybe it's because of all the different scenes needed for separate LI paths. Episodes 1 - 4 still felt pretty long but you still had to go on the tennis date with Jill, sleep over at Bella's after showing up drunk to Luigi's, etc. While ep 8 overall didn't feel that long if you just played one path, if you played all of them you realize just how many "path-specific" renders there were.Maybe split updates isn't the best idea but i think most people would agree he should start making smaller updates like he used in the beggining of this game and just make updates with 1550 to 2500 renders taking it to 3 or 4 months of waiting like his earlier updates and let's be real 1500 to 2500 renders is still a pretty big updates compared to other games updates he can't keep making updates always bigger than the last or do you think waiting 2 years for 2 updates is aceptable
Plus the interlude could have been sumarized in the newest update with one or two scenes and we would have gotten the update earlier instead or getting a single character update which i think most people aren't really that interested in .
Idk, I'm not saying it's the sole reason but it should definitely be considered as a factor.
There's also the matter of increasingly "complex" animations. I don't know what that means, first of all. There was someone who posted side-by-side comparisons of two scenes where more apparent effort seemed to have been put in (lighting, other technical stuff, idk, etc.) than the other in the same episode, in the same free roam for ep 8. I just thought "Yea, I didn't really notice the difference. Both were still good". Rather than the sheer number of animations, it seems to be more like the complexity of the animations that seem to hold things up the most.
I'm saying, if I can't really notice a clear difference then I'd personally be ok with the less complex ones if it meant we weren't all on the edge of our seats watching the animation renders finish because it determines whether we get ep 9 this year or next.

Like a fire... Then you have to choose to save Jill or Bella and the other one dies...
Actually, on second thought, I don't think anyone would put that on a porn game... Me and my crazy ideas... What am I talking about...
I get that this game is much more complex than acting lessons but i still remember he made and finished that game in 7 months 1 update each month with renders betweenn 700 to 1000 renders and back then he used to have a job in real life and i perfectly remember when he started developing this game he still had that job and said and i quote"Due to my full-time job and because I want to do BADIK bigger and better, I will never be able to release monthly again." now i'm not even remotly saying give us montly updates i can see how much different and bigger this game is but are you telling me now that he quit his job IRL a long time ago he can't give us more than 1 update a year WTF
. Also nobody complained about earlier updates being short and i think people can agree we would prefer faster updates as long as they were the lenght of the earlier episodes nobody would complain.

So, now I've been pulled from this OP too? WTF... really? All those mods listed and I'm the only one pulled after the OP was "updated" a few days ago?

Man, why are you making suggestions that are hurting DPC's business ?
He's obviously not padding the game with irrelevant content and random minigames to delay development.
We should feel blessed that he will take 10 years to finish this masterpiece.

Yay! This means we'll have enough to talk about for the next seven years! Or maybe even more if we're lucky and he starts to make biennial updates!

But he said you can contribute with something else that isn't money in the same post you linked. Again, it's always so simple, the people that actually pay for this game can just stop paying for it.

And all seven years in the comments there will be a heated discussion of the release dates. I'll probably order a popcorn truck, that's will be fun.
I feel like he's making a mistake about the basic presumption here -- because posing it as just an on/off matter of "do you want the side content or not" is completely ignoring (or missing) that the complexity of presentation of said content isn't something set in stone. Specifically, the exact same content can be illustrated by wildly different amount of renders. Something as simple as using 3 shots to illustrate a scene instead of 4 shots can lead to huge gains when such modicum of restraint and better judgement is applied to entire episode. And to the end user the difference in quality is likely to be hardly noticeable.

puts tinfoil hat on
I may sound like one of those crazy conspiracy theorists but with him actually acknowledging this problem I think that when he posted that status update where he said something like "THIS UPDATE IS SO GOOD" he was already expecting shit to hit the fan when patrons realized they wouldn't be getting the episode this month so he decided to hype it up further to try and somewhat mitigate the meltdown.
