Well, would be rather curious how many supporters will DPC lose after this update. Luckily, I am just a pirate, so if I get shite, at least I didn't have to pay for it. It would be a very different story though, if I would be a supporter. I couldn't keep myself from playing it in the end, but damn, this update is a new low for DPC. This release was one of the most anticipated ones for me this year, and damn, A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT would be eufemism. And it is not just the free roam stuff and the branching for LIs. The MC is like I dunno, retared, whiny little bitch and has dialogues in this one which are totally off character, no matter which path. It is like he has become a totally different person in a very bad way. I hope the backclash after this shitty update will be a godd enough wake up call for DPC.

MC was sure weird in this episode. "I am balls deep in Sage. Let me talk about her family" or "I am going to throw a hissy fit because my girlfriend wants me to take an STD test before we continue having unprotected sex" MC can be such a drama queen.

Weird question but to anyone who has played this update, how much of that scary clown is in there?
I have coulrophobia and don't want to scare myself to death when I'm cooming.
Well, you'll see him several times, it's one of the DIK's after all, so you can't miss him (in the main room, at the door and in the hall with the DIK light there's scenes he is more then just in the background)
But he's harmless and doesn't do anything more scary than being an ugly clown...

In previous updates MC was so-so, more reasonable like em, Derek. But had a rather neutral personality no matter which path one woudld take. But in this one, he is just plain annoying, one would really just punch him. Not to mention those dialogues you mentioned they are like WTF?

Opinion. I don't understand all this "no story progressing" and " why its all free roam"whining. Forgot what the first season was like? It was about fun, parties, pranks, challenges - total madness. There was little plot - nothing serious, except for the Josy/ Maya situation and Hell Week. That's what Being a DIK is all about in the first place - fun. And this whole Episode has that vibe of Season 1 - most of the content is a huge party. The progress of the story is small, but I just died of laughter, like in the good old days.
If we look back, the game only got more serious and dramatic in Season 2, and I'm glad that before the storm (which is sure to happen) I got some relaxing and funny content.

Thank you for saying that, one of the best things about this game is the humor, and it's nice to see a positive pov, i was really getting bummed waiting for nearly a year and the feedback didn't make it sound like I'll even enjoy what we did get

:coffee: Updated BigTable™ with the recent informations.
Post-Release!

  • Here the updated table after data mining and release of Episode 9:
    • Renders: the final Renders per Week ratio is the third worst performance and in a very close cluster (120-123).
    • Animations: I was hyped for potential 30 minutes, it's only been 26 and 22 are lewd, we didn't beat EP8 length.
    • Music: out of 30 total; 21 are premium tracks and DPC been personally producing 6, and these takes time.
  • Ratio scored 161. This is underperforming the average of the Last Two main episodes in each benchmark:
    • Ratio AvgLT: 199 vs 161 | R/W AvgLT: 149 vs 123 | sA/W AvgLT: 49.9 vs 38.2
  • By raw numbers, DPC approximately "wasted" 20% of development time (2 months) versus the last two main episodes.

That is an amazing analysis, thank you for your hard work.
It make me sad, episodes 4-6 should be the standard, development time wise, 4-5 months tops. Drop all the side BS.

So the long animations he was working on were totally pointless.
Which animations?
I will not believe for anything that he rendered those long intro and ending animations for 2 weeks. In a Blender, a similar animation with a floating camera and heavy textures is rendered in a few days. He's lying somewhere.
Where did he say that?
And according to what someone said here he has 6+ GPUs, two of which are 3090s.

Rendering time shouldn't be the issue.

MC was sure weird in this episode. "I am balls deep in Sage. Let me talk about her family" or "I am going to throw a hissy fit because my girlfriend wants me to take an STD test before we continue having unprotected sex" MC can be such a drama queen.
At least on Sage's path he admits to be in the wrong and being a little bit of an ass about it. Though DCP really wants to force that last name thing this season it seems, we might get what MC's mom's last name is in the future. Also Sage's last name seems to be a huge sore spot the way she reacted. Gotta keep that drama going on her path with 1 her family, her real parents and the Quinn thing. But it seems DCP is putting it to the back burner with Quinn and Lily teaming up against Vinny and now Tommy and her apologized to each other.

I am surprised no one is talking about the opening scene. The ransacked, bloody Christmas, locked door opens scene at Bella's. Is it a future or past scene?
Probably future that's gonna be the Season 3 cliffhanger or something... Makes me wonder actually if he's going to do something completely stupid with Bella's husband now :LUL: Like him currently being in prison for mass murder :FacePalm:

Also, the planning thing. One would think that organizing and planning the renovation of a fucking MANOR/Frat house would be more complicated than planning an damn party, but our MC basically lost -80IQ points in this update.

It's F95, half of audience here like Tommy easy to piss off.
The same whining as after the Interlude. Well, there will always be a group of loudly screaming people who are unhappy with everything.

I don't think it's blood, I think it's wine.
If it is a flashback then I think it's probably the moment Bella and James' relationship went to shit, like their child dying or something like that.
If it is a future event then I can't even imagine what is going to happen tbh, but I counted 7 plates so my bet is a christmas dinner with MC, Bella, Neil, Jill, Derek, Zoey and Sage.
