shocked pikachuI checked what I'd done and what was left to do, and visually seeing this progress made me realize that episode 10 would be another big one.

Let's leave that for Episode 10 news. "This long intro animation is harder than Elden Ring on max difficulty"How can forget this interview

Episode 6 take him long because of the DnG animations, it take long to be animated, the real upgrade started with episode 7, and he actually finished that episode faster, and because of that that episode had a 2 week beta test time, the longest beta test.Unfortunately I speak from experience back in episode 6 everyone was so sure its an early release cuz he did an upgrade to his CPU when i said it will come out in November December many said I'm crazy and its a September release.
it came out in the end of November.
trust me I'm praying that I'm wrong but history with him (and I have been patron from ep 2) taught me otherwise.
It would also add in diversity for cheating points system.The problem with the freeroams is the fact that it still plays as a linear story. Given the amount of paths available it should be that things are happening simultaneously and if you go to a certain room then you see something but miss something in another room. So if you're on an MG route then you basically have a linear route spending time with them, but on the others route you can choose which girls you see and in which situations.
the only thing i have to say about this: we can hypothetically imagine plenty of scenarios where he could speed up his process. we can even take him at his word that the percentages have finally increased and things will move along faster now.Episode 6 take him long because of the DnG animations, it take long to be animated, the real upgrade started with episode 7, and he actually finished that episode faster, and because of that that episode had a 2 week beta test time, the longest beta test.
Will see, but this is the first time he was not immediately bragging about how he gonna use it to upgrade the quality , and exclusively talked about how happy he is because of the speed.
We need to wait a couple more week to see what he gonna say in the next couple of status report, regarding of Speed.
That's psychology but I do wonder if DPC being now the only bottleneck would make him stress and overwork since he will always look to beat the rendering speed to always keep the queue active and busy.
He never explicitly stated he worked 7 days a week. He said 12-18 hours a day each day of the week. A week can be a working week (5 days) or a full week (7 days), but his recent update actually gives me the impression he doesn't work weekends.I'm surprised he hasn't burned out yet. According to him, he works 12-18 hours a day, seven days a week. He hasn't had a normal vacation in 4 years.
If he capped the dev time to 6 months, that'd be OK, but the last episode took 9 months, and it was the most disappointing episode (at least for me) so far!Honestly I don't get that criticism. If you look at some of the best VNs in this forum (according to the overall average rating), they all take like 4-5 months for their updates and BaD is probably the most complex with the most permutations by now. So taking about 6 months for an update is not as outragiously long as a lot of people make it out to be.
And if people are annoyed, that he takes patreon money monthly while the updates take so long...well no one is forcing those people to stay subscribed, right? 4-6 months simply seems to be the time it takes to make a quality VN as a small or even single developer, deal with it.
the only thing i have to say about this: we can hypothetically imagine plenty of scenarios where he could speed up his process. we can even take him at his word that the percentages have finally increased and things will move along faster now.
but as it as been from the very beginning, DPC has always been able to speed things up and finish BaDIK faster but has yet to actually do so. no matter what platitudes he gives us, i think its very fair to say he will finish this game as fast as he feels like. and that pace has never been particularly fast
I hope he takes at least ONE day off a week. Working at such a pace without interruption is insane. Chronic fatigue, irritability, then nightmares about game development and then finally inability to work and burnout.He never explicitly stated he worked 7 days a week. He said 12-18 hours a day each day of the week. A week can be a working week (5 days) or a full week (7 days), but his recent update actually gives me the impression he doesn't work weekends.
"I will return to posing animations next week."
The fact that he does the status update letting us know what he's worked on for the week on a Friday, and then starts telling us what he'll do "next week", I get the impression that starts on Monday.
So I'm going with, he works long hours Mon-Fri, then he takes a break on the weekend while his rigs just keep on chugging along.
If he's smart, he won't work harder than that, there's absolutely no reason to.
DPC - Yes, this guy, what's his name... Oh, yes, Geralt. Geralt is right. I perform a feat every day. But I'm not complaining. I'm doing this for you guys. I can't help it. That's the way I am.I hope he takes at least ONE day off a week. Working at such a pace without interruption is insane. Chronic fatigue, irritability, then nightmares about game development and then finally inability to work and burnout.
I actually disagree with this, DPC has an autistic obsession with this game, he's done well this far, and I'd hate to see shit getting fucked up by some outsider coming in adding in shit that disrupts the vibe of BADIK, it might be slower but I'm not in any rush, I'd rather be certain that the same dude who's made my favorite AVN by himself, continues to deliver the same stuff he has been.Well, it always depends on motivation. I work every week at least 40-50 hours in special field. But still I do not get even fraction of donation. Of course money is not everything, but if it is funded by community it should be well spend on hiring team/proffesionals.
For what? To make the development even more complex and slow down? Hiring people to make an renpy game doesnt increase the development speed one bit. There are hundreds of example around this site where teams are making games and they are slow as fuck. I cant name one single game with a team behind it that can even be near the quality of BaD, dreamers or Artmeis for that matter. And especially not content wise. There is just one reason they form a team... cause the indivudals are not capable of doing everything on their own, beacause they lack talent... Devlopers like DPC, philly, drifty, digi.b and maybe ocean too, prove they are making more content of higher quality than any other "devs" or even Dev-teams, by far... and they all are flying solo... so i really dont get it anymore why some people think everythign would be better and faster if DPC would hire people... it doesnt work like that.Well, it always depends on motivation.

i believe he has said no to this multiple timesAnyone who thinks that DPC hiring a team to help him to speed up the process should check how that's worked out for Oppai-Man.
Not sure why they'd lie about it. There'd be a lot more sympathy for one person dealing with learning a new system for the next season of their game and therefore delaying an update then there is for someone who has hired a team to deal with it and then suffering huge delays despite the new team. This isn't the thread for that discussion anyway.I mean we don't have any solid proof that they hired those 100000 ppl they were saying they did so your argument here is not valid...
but on this subject do his words have this much value? it seems normal to me that he 'tells' of a heavy and continuous commitment (I remember in an update he announced that he would be taking a week's break and emphasised the exceptional nature of it), any other version would be counterproductiveHe never explicitly stated he worked 7 days a week. He said 12-18 hours a day each day of the week. A week can be a working week (5 days) or a full week (7 days), but his recent update actually gives me the impression he doesn't work weekends.

I would give Tybalt better odds of fucking a hot chick then DPC hiring a team keep in mind I put Tybalt chances at 0Anyone who thinks that DPC hiring a team to help him to speed up the process should check how that's worked out for Oppai-Man.
In fact, we must admit that in reality Tybalt has every chance to fuck any chick he wants. And he doesn't need to be a genius for that. It's enough just not to be that super space-scale jerk, as DPC presented him in his game. In reality, it is guys like Tybalt, rich, with a great prospects in life, they fuck any chicks. Yes, yes. Any chicks... Given the context of the game, MC should be more careful.I would give Tybalt better odds of fucking a hot chick then DPC hiring a team keep in mind I put Tybalt chances at 0![]()
but this is porn and he has a very tiny dick in life thats doesn't matter but here it does( don't freak out on me you know it to be true). I mean he pretty much Dawe but with money and not dating a whore well he get three dates with Jill so I guess that countsIn fact, we must admit that in reality Tybalt has every chance to fuck any chick he wants.
