Android link was broken and removed.All in one Android link please
Ok thanksAndroid link was broken and removed.
It's a waste of time asking in the thread as there is almost no chance that anyone with the ability to create one will see it, try in the request section

The update won't be in October I guess. End of September is my guess, amazing

Last week I've mainly been writing/coding and posing some static renders.
These last few weeks I've been working on the checklist I made. It originally had roughly 160 bullet points and now it's down to 27, with several sub-tasks per task.
My strategy was to do every simple task at first to gain momentum, leaving the bigger tasks to the end and that's where I'm at right now.
To break it down for you, this is what remains in terms of development.
Coding tasks:
- Writing: 6 scenes + 2 free roam events
- Static renders: 18 scenes + 2 free roam events
- Animations: 4 scenes (~20-50 animations, depending on the length of the animations)
The current render count is 2365 renders and 94 animations.
- Adding Bios
- Some phone content
- Making sure gallery scenes work
- A tutorial for something new
- Some code for something else that's new
- Relationship reports
- 1 minigame
- Freeroam code
- Adding music/sound to 10 scenes
- Playtesting and polishing before beta testing and proofreading can begin.
I have a queue with 49 static renders and 26 animations. Animations have been rendering rather slow lately, but you'll likely understand why when you see what's been cooking.
I estimate what's left in terms of art to be 20-50 animations and 500-1000 static renders. These are rough numbers.
The checklist is a bit more tangible now and it's nice to look at it without having to scroll to see the remaining tasks.
I want to finish writing the remaining scenes as soon as possible, so I can focus on the art afterward. That will be my main priority next week.
It's a story-heavy update and as you can see from the animation count, there will be lewd events to satisfy as well.
I passed episode 5 size in terms of writing sometime last week and there will be more things to do, unlock and discover in this update as well.
I've been working through a pesky cold this week, but nothing is going to stop me.
I hope you're as excited as I am because the mountain of work for episode 6 is almost down to pebble size.
Have a nice weekend

Given the remaining amount of rendering and animation work to be done I wouldn't get your hopes up for a September release.The update won't be in October I guess. End of September is my guess, amazing
Does anyone else think that the characterization of Maya and to an extent Josy is a bit off in Chapter 5 ? I guess it could be because we spend far less time with them, but still.
I'm also super curious what's Bella's big secret that would scare the MC that bad. With that kind of setup it's going to be a let down if it's not something epic.
I felt it was a little bit off in a few respects, most notably with Maya during the picnic scene. Here was a girl who 3 nights ago was seemingly ready to put Josy behind her to be with the MC, 2 nights ago was professing about how she should have let down her guard more with him because he was worth doing that for, but now is basically saying, "I'm cool with the potential risk of losing you by giving you a free pass to fuck other girls". It's an odd switch for someone who seemed to be expresing some very deep feelings for him and wanting to be with him to suddenly being OK with him not being with her. It almost feels like DPC was trying to pump the brakes on the seriousness of this relationship since there are still so many episodes left to go, but it was done in a way that seemed quite out of character for Maya.I don't think Maya and Josy's characterization was off per se. I think they just had to be squeezed into a tight time frame (like most things in Episode 5, alas). Thus we get odd bits like Josy ignoring everything to read her letter or Maya's scene starting well but becoming disappointingly formulaic. There just wasn't a chance to let our interactions with them develop of the pace they really should have.
That said, it's certainly true that Maya remains very different from the way she acted in Episode 1 and most of Episode 2, but I think that's intentional. It's a result of the fact she's close enough to the MC that she let's him see her vulnerable side rather than the facade she tries to project. It makes sense, but I really do miss Maya's playful side. Hopefully we'll get to see it again in Episode 6 if she and the MC (and Josy) can finally start to feel good about their new arrangement.
I know that's how they would say it, but it's wrong, because the full word is 'mathematics'. It's plural since you can't do calculations with just a single number. 'Maths' takes 1+1 to make 2, whereas 'math' would basically be just saying the number 2. It's a pet peeve of mine, so I'll stick to the correct plural word.Awesome as always. Thanks again, Bacchus!
One tiny, teeeeensy little nitpick? I'm pretty sure BaDIK takes place at a fictional College/University in the U.S. So, Cathy would be a 'math' teacher, not a 'maths' teacher.
Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just relaying what the rules say. I 100% agree with you though, but it's something you'd have to take up with the admins to try and get changed, which is something I'm sure people have tried to do many times already.I don't agree. Twins is a sexual tag. In a non sexual context is meaningless. Who would decide to play a game because it has two people that happen to be twins, but aren't even identical and have no sexual interactions together? It's completely meaningless. (I know it's in the rules, but using it like that is like saying people, or brunette if there's only one brunette in the background you don't interact with).
Well something is definitely going to have to change with regards to the Affinity scale because there's 11 nodules on each side of the scale and so far there have been 9 Major Choices, so either side is pretty much wiped out by now if you make all choices in favour of one side and 2 more choices in ep 6 would finish it off.Not sure if anyone posted these comments View attachment 802604
Sound like the DiK scale will be going away. Or at least frozen so MC will be fixed on a Whatever you are after the final choice. Kind of makes sense for a ‘first impressions’ system
DPC also mentioned he is planning to upgrade all his system to the new Nvidea cards which should help the process.
Well, I can see new graphics cards help (or influence) in several ways, accounting for his time to pose:As for the graphics cards, they'll certainly help speed up rendering time, but it likely won't affect the time taken to pose and create the renders as that's the more involved part of the process. But it'll still be beneficial for them nontheless.
Did DPC say it was going away or being frozen somewhere other than the comment you've posted? Because this quote only says something will happen with the DIK scale, without giving any clues about what that may be.Sound like the DiK scale will be going away. Or at least frozen so MC will be fixed on a Whatever you are after the final choice.
But if you're going for full DIK or CHICK runs, would it really matter? This game already requires going along at least 4-5 different routes to get all the content and this wouldn't really change that. There can still be Major Choices that affect something in the game, but the Affinity scale is already at a point where the game can't sustain continued choices that affect it, so this has to change and soon.I'm not sure i like the sounds of completely locking affinity. There's got to be a continued major choice mechanic if its still going then be used in affecting MC options.
But the fact that these choices won't have an impact once people have wiped out one side makes it superfluous and pointless for those players, so something surely needs to be put in place to give them choices that have an actual impact.Did DPC say it was going away or being frozen somewhere other than the comment you've posted?

Don't know that he necessarily needs to change it at all. Once you've maxed either CHICK or DIK major choices then making further CHICK/DIK major choices would simply have no impact an Affinity as the MC has already reached peak CHICK/DIKness.
I won't jump into conclusion yet. The thing is, taking away the freedom of choice suddenly, is not really an appealing idea. You make decisions, and suddenly you are forced to be on that path no matter what?! inable to change, not good. People can change, life is not black and white, something he himself acknowledged. image we have 20 episode, for 6 episode, you can make decisions, and then you are forced to be on that for the rest of the game, for 14 more episode. I don't know, it would feel weird. I think either it's gonna be reset, for example in each semester, or the whole Major Decision, crossroad event will be gone, or will be changed in different way.I'm not sure i like the sounds of completely locking affinity.

I prefer to think of it as revealing our MC. If, at the end of the game, your MC finishes at -6 (that would be 6 positions from the left on the Affinity metre) then that's who your MC always was, it's just that these complete strangers didn't get that at first and discovered it over time.I won't jump into conclusion yet.

Unless you want a polyamorous relationship with 2 slamming hottiesDIk Path is Best Path
But if you've gone full DIK or CHICK, then you've already made the choice. Even players going on a Neutral path have made their choice and even if there's some content locked behind DIK and CHICK affinity, well then this just means players have to have DIK and CHICK run saves which is what replayability is all about.I won't jump into conclusion yet.

The way I see, He just made the whole situation more complicated for himself right from the beginning.But if you've gone full DIK or CHICK, then you've already made the choice.
