I think we will get it late October. Beta testing only tends to take him a week. He could essentially do 100 stills and 10 animations a week and hit that sort of date. Possible it fall in to November, but I don’t think it’s likely to be as ‘late’ As December.
I so want you to be right
but this isn't like other updates where you fork the parent branch and commit the new tested update
its probably a major ui overhaul which will make the whole game to be playtested not just an episode so not too optimistic about early release

Though with the release of new ampere gpus (probably end of the year) we might get later episodes a lot sooner with more content

I've got sad news for you. VA is gonna be included in this game. Version 0.1 have some of it but was erased when 0.2 was out. DPC's gonna wait till the game is completed. Didn't want some VA failing in the middle of development and having to find a new one, reshoot all the lines, etc... The disclaimer when you start the game for the first time is a memento from that.
Personally, as long as the VA quality is high, I think this is a fantastic idea. Once the game is complete, adding good quality VA work would breathe new life into the game for me. I don't NEED it now, but adding it after it's done would be a huge thank you to the supporters and put a bow on things nicely. It needs to be good quality though, or it will subtract from the experience. Perhaps an option to turn it on and off would please the die-hard no VA people.

I’d be surprised if it’s a major UI overhaul. It would be a strange time to do it (episode 2) something like that would make more sense for an episode one. Especially considering the Steam release.

i don’t think the new GPUs will make the world of difference to DPC, as he works alone and already renders on a separate PC.

but to have a good VA you must have professional actors (not famous, but real actors, capable of interpreting a character and situations) and you must have many, at least for all the main characters, for the secondary ones it is also good to reuse the same ones voices.
and of course they must be available to interpret sex scenes (this is not a problem in 90% of cases)

we are talking about an important investment, with some additional work that would probably slow down the release of the chapters

sure, in your hypothesis to add it later, once the game is completed, it would certainly return interest, but would it be worth it? I don't think DPC would gain much economically

Nah, jack that motherfucker. My boi will slay Heather's pussy and he can kiss MC's ass as far as I'm concerned. He's using Rusty for his family's rep especially his dad's money, he also doesn't give a rat's ass about his "son" our MC. Rusty had his spoiled rich kid moment in the flashback scene from Ep.5, but he's a cool dude who actually gives a fuck about the DIKs.

I would hesitate to fuck his or John Boy's GF but Tommy's character needs a little more dev if he wants to protect his girl's holes from MC's missile.:devilish: But yeah, it would priceless to see his reaction to hearing that the MC fucked both his stepsis and his GF, it would be even better if an asshole like Tyballs showed him videos of that. Hope we get to "meet" his mom too, there's a Josy solo path that should have that option.:sneaky:
yeah this man gets it. I salute you brother

this game is good but damn confusing, most of my scenes are 50% and I tried to find a render in Jills room on the bookcase but got frustrated ans just left it. I've been trying to get into Maya and Josy's good books, but I've come to a part in episode 2 where you dont get a lewd scene if you are a massive dik or massive chick. Yet I've been doin ther chick chjoices to please Maya...... WTF. I'll keep playing but will prob have to import a 100% save because this shit is crazy confusing I cant even seem to chase 1 girl I want, whilst using the walk through too...

That wouldn't make any sense to do...

The game is hugely popular now without V/O, and assuming DPC maintains the quality of product and keeps with it, it could very likely remain popular for years. Pretty much anyone who has played any adult game has played or at least heard of BaDIK.

So... what would be gained by adding V/O once the game is completed? Hiring a cast of decent voice actors would be a large expense, so where's that additional money going to come from? I REALLY doubt there's a legion of potential players out there going "I'd buy this game on Steam or support the Patreon if only it had voice acting!". It might convince a few more players to try it, but not THAT many. It just wouldn't be a value-added feature.

The caveat to this is, of course, DPC's vision for the game. If he REALLY feels that his Magnum Opus of Porn Games needs V/O to be 'complete', that's his choice as a creator... I have my doubts, though.
It's not about adding or not adding. It's about the developer vision. I'm not making this up, its what he said. Maybe with the years his opinion may change but at the end of the day it's just another option. You'll be able to turn it off in the options menu.

He scrapped it for a reason. I'll assume that/those reason(s) still stand.
They scrapped it when they released 0.2 because it was too expensive, and even though it's been well over a year since then and they have thousands more patrons, they still have a very large cast of characters and even just hiring 4 or 5 decent voice actors who could do multiple voices, it will still likely be too ambitious for them in terms of cost when the game ends.
