None of the DIK's have any idea what you are talking about, Derek never fucked a granny either.

Derek never fucked a granny either.

Have you even played the game?
Or are you just trolling?

In a universe where Derek fucked a granny, the mc wouldn’t have fucked Jade. There is no universe where the mc wouldn’t have fucked Jade!

Well, in my universe, my MC did fuck Jade, and Derek still had to fuck the granny...
Sucks to be Derek.

George Martin was just an example. And age is not the single factor, unfortunately. There are so much ways to die, get in some accident, become a disabled person, and whatever else. While he is doing his job great being alone, it's also the biggest cons in this case. A couple of people/team may continue work if somebody gets off, while single person - not.

Or eaten by a shark during vacation But fortunately, all this is unlikely. And we hope for the best. DPC is not the type of person who will work in a team or share a project with someone else - he is a fanatical individualist with a control freak. He reminds me of Andrew Ryan in this way.
The main slogan of this man, which shapes his work, was heard in the credits of Acting Lessons: "Wether the storm and follow your vision, anything else and it's no longer your vision."

I've been here for a year now, sharing a bit of modern history: There were a few problems during the development of Ep.9. Someone close to him died, DPC also suffered Covid, then the Friday Prophets, whose songs were the main soundtrack, demanded that treir songs be removed from the game. It took a week to patch, plus it ruined his mood and stifled motivation to work for that time. And literally after that, a week later, some scammer created an account on his behalf on itch.to (a platform for selling indie games), sold illegal copies, earning money on his project. DPC is very jealous of its intellectual property (it wasn't always like this) and it pissed him off. Development again froze for a week and DPC even asked fans for help to bombard the scammer with reports. Even on F95, through his discord moderator. It worked and everything got better. But at the end of the cycle, there was a delay again. DPC finished work with posing art, but there was a large queue of animations for rendering. He improved the quality of the visual and began to make long animations, his old hardware could not cope with them. I hope after upgrading to the RTX 4090 this will no longer be the case.

I agree with your estimations. 5.5k would be a reasonable number. But, tbh, he need to make just +1 render more than EP9 had and he is would be eligible to say the same

Knowing it, the Episode will be bigger for a few hundred renders. But I am sure that game doesn't allow him to make them smaller. Now game is divided into branches, more and more exclusive content for each route, this content is mutually exclusive. Plus the possible routes of girls who are not MGs are added. Everyone needs to pay attention. Do episodes as before, 3500-4000 renders each? Then one run will take 2.5 hours, no more.
Of course, he can cut non-essential content that many people talk about. I would cut useless characters like Sally and Madame Rose, also not sure about Nora, another potential teacher+student drama, why is it necessary when there are already three of them? This is my little criticism, mostly I am delighted with this project.

Yeah, it's great that this time will not be wasted. And knowing him, I bet that he will work periodically for little things like dialogues or some episode scheduling tasks, when he will have "free" time on his vacation, lol. Previously, he continued to work even when he was sick.

fingers crossed for August

I will cross my fingers too, but I will keep a little pessimism in myself so as not to be disappointed. I was also looking forward to Episode 9 on Halloween, how wrong I was.
I think he'll be doing some work on vacation, plus if he's going to travel, he needs remote control of his PCs via TeamViewer or something like that. PCs running at full capacity unattended, anything can go wrong.

Guys in here talking about waiting on BaDIK episodes to be like waiting on GoT don't know WTF they are on about.
I picked up A Song of Ice and Fire when I was in college Twenty five fucking years ago.

Being a pre-HBO GoT fan is like being the bottom-bitch port-a-potty in an Arab shiek's harem, but you're the one paying to be there.

I don't know if it was irony or not, in any case, I had something else in mind. The Song of Ice and Fire was an example of how you can wait for something for years, while we consider 1-2 months back and forth as a whole tragedy.

None of the DIK's have any idea what you are talking about, Derek never fucked a granny either.

funkymonkeyjedi - DIK's secret code was used by Jacob to save Derek's "reputation"

At least 20 times, at various times and along various routes. Have YOU played the game? Jacob spent his only secret code. Derek never fucked no granny.

Jokes are jokes, but sometimes scary or unexpected things happen. The main thing is not to get into the dry accidents stats though.
While some consider such principals and type of approaching with project as big cons, I think it's an opposite. If he would do it's job bad, than we probably wouldn't discuss this now. I prefer to work in the same way, bc I know, as example, that I will do my job alone better and faster and will enjoy the result, than would try to teach a person, then supervise it periodically only to finally find that I don't like the result. It's a real issue and a team work in large AAA studios as well as managing whole team is a hardest thing.

Yeah, I remember what happened to him from Q/A series, but I wasn't attentive enough to realise that it happened in a row literally. So, he had really a bad time during EP9 dev cycle. It's a reasonable excuse for a 9 months release time as well. 1 month was just fucked off.

Knowing it, the Episode will be bigger for a few hundred renders. But I am sure that game doesn't allow him to make them smaller. Now game is divided into branches, more and more exclusive content for each route, this content is mutually exclusive. Plus the possible routes of girls who are not MGs are added.

Absolutely agree with each word

Of course, he can cut non-essential content that many people talk about. I would cut useless characters like Sally and Madame Rose, also not sure about Nora, another potential teacher+student drama, why is it necessary when there are already three of them? This is my little criticism, mostly I am delighted with this project.

Tbh, I find Sally hilarious. Such a unique rebelling nerd. Also each her scenes with MC are fun as hell. Madame... yeah, I still doubt the nessesity of adding such specific character, because DPC would play this off in much more reasonable way, like making similar scenes with one of Pink Rose girls (mostly MILFs of course) which we had meet before. And she doesn't occupy anything else than lewd scenes space. A couple of renders she took away when MC meet her is a drop in the sea. Later, he just called her by phone to "teleport" to Pink Rose. Will she play any other role and take some noticable or even important part in the plot? I still doubt in this too.

I will cross my fingers too, but I will keep a little pessimism in myself so as not to be disappointed. I was also looking forward to Episode 9 on Halloween, how wrong I was.
I think he'll be doing some work on vacation, plus if he's going to travel, he needs remote control of his PCs via TeamViewer or something like that. PCs running at full capacity unattended, anything can go wrong.

My first bet was on late May-early June. I was so inspired by his reports in the first months that I expected a 5-6 month release. Then I moved to late June-mid July and now... well, we are at August at best. I want this bet to win.

Remote control is a very common thing. I don't think it's even worth discussing. Control, the ability to add something to the queue or cancel, etc. so as not to come back to the PCs that have hung up or dropped out with an error. Just to tell in update next to vacation that "Soooorry guys, I fucked up a bit, my PCs stucked and renders fucked, see ya next week".

You did know you don't have to show the Jade video to anyone right?
Doing it that way, Derek gets to fuck a granny every single time.


But why do I get the feelin' you're just fuckin' with me!? (pun not intended)

 

[anonnyscouse]

If you need to talk to a lawyer, you don't wait weeks to do so (weeks when Patrick would only have to cross paths with Josy in the BR for everything to fall apart). , in the real world. Then if I have to accept it for the plot, fine. But let's not talk about realism

Again, it's only urgent to Jill and the lawyer (the people who decide when the meeting will take place) if Maya has told them the whole problem which she probably hasn't. As far as they are concerned the problem is that one of Jill's friends has issues with her loan, to them there's no imminent threat of Maya being thrown out of college so it's not an urgent issue. You can't project our knowledge of the situation onto characters who don't have the same information.

It's hard to see the difference since the prop is so small, but if you go back and forth between these two pics, you'll see the highlight. Just like magazines and such.

I just checked and in my game I can't notice anything when I hover the mouse cursor over it. That being said, it is at the very least curious that the lollipop only appears during the third phase of the free roam event.

Does Sally have the lollipop when she's there with KRJ? That could explain why it suddenly appears, not why it's clickable though.

I've never noticed Sally sucking on a lollypop.
As far as I can tell, the only one who sucks on one of those is Lilly.

[DMNOV3R]

The good thing about having frequent timeskips from now on is that we can hope the MC gets rid of that yee yee ass haircut.

 

[funkymonkeyjedi]

Fuck Jacob, he's not even a good artist!

 

[Mfka5]

20 TIMES? bro you played a porn game 20 times??? i think it is time to go outside and get a life bro how the fuck do you play a porn game twenty times. thats crazy

Fr bro i dont get it either.
I always just do 1 playthrough and be done with it unless i somehow fuck up my save then i gotta go all over again, which i did 3 times.
I get it theres more routes but 20+ playthroughts is a bit extreme lol
Yikes

 

[funkymonkeyjedi]

i think it is time to go outside and get a life bro

I have gone outside after my first playthrough, but I dropped my life down a sewer drain.

So here I am.
Lifeless, replaying every path and waiting for more updates.
Sue me!

Just like rewatching a good movie, there’s nothing wrong with playing a game over and over, particularly if there’s heaps of different paths!

Part timer indeed!

Off the top of my head you'd want the following saves for maximum content:

Current main routes:

DIK Others - manwhore route
DIK Sage - without fucking Jade
DIK Sage - after fucking Jade
CHICK Throuple
Neutral/DIK Throuple
CHICK Jill
CHICK Bella - without pursuing Jill
CHICK Bella - with perusing Jill

Current minor routes:

DIK Others - with DIK Zoey
DIK Others - with CHICK Zoey
CHICK Others - with DIK Zoey
CHICK Others - with CHICK Zoey
(Zoey's affinity reaction with Fuckface's affinity is currently unknown so the mix required for a Zoey branch is unknown)
DIK Others - Quinn focused in ep 9
DIK Others - Nicole/Lily focused in ep 9
DIK Others - Sarah/Mel ending in ep 9
DIK Others - bed with vixens ending in ep 9

Potential routes you'd want to be ready for:

Any Affinity (I went DIK) Others - telling Derek still interested in Josy, telling Josy in ep 9 that you think about her all the time, in case of M/J break up and solo Josy route available
CHICK Others - telling Derek still interested in Maya, in case M/J break up and Maya solo route is available.
Neutral Jill - in case not being CHICK affinity produces different content in the future
Neutral/DIK Bella with and without pursuing Jill - again in case of different content than CHICK affinity
Any Affinity (again mine is DIK) - Rio focused


And that's just off the top of my head without looking at the saves I've got, I'm sure other people can mention other routes that you'd want to have too.
