I liked it when the game updates were at max 2 months apart.

"Hey guys, this week I reached a significant milestone - we have surpassed the 4500 render mark for episode 9. My computers have been working hard for the past week but I am still not happy with some scenes and thus will probably add another 500 renders. Also, I have added 10 more animations into the queue to support those renders. I am also working on a new minigame, because the one thing the patrons wanted were more minigames. I also have to playtest the game, because a lot of areas have missing code

Next week I will be able to give a clear estimate about the amount of work left for the update. Anyway, here are 3 random renders of girls staring into the camera. See you next week."
Fucking Nostrodamus over here!

I have to do this for five branches
Sage, Jill, Josy and Maya, Bella and I assume the 5th will be Zoey. Zoey is probably the worst character in a game on this site. Having an episode all about her has made it so there will be a year since the last time the story advanced. Also having to include her in future episodes will be more work making each episode take longer to make. Adding in a basically new character as a main LI to a 3 year old game is one of the worst things to do. If DPC was willing to add all this extra work then having a separate path for Josy and Maya like a lot of people have been wanting for years would have been a far better option or make one of the side girls we have known for years a main LI like Riona, Lily or Quinn. It wouldn't have been that bad adding Zoey to the game if there was some flashbacks of Zoey and the MC throughout the previous 8 episodes but just having the one didn't let me get to know her well or get attached to her. That's why to me she is just a new character.

I'm really losing interest in this game. Between the no solo route for Josy, lack of screen time for side girls especially Riona in ep 8, basically a new character in Zoey and now waiting 7 months with at least another month and that will probably be normal. I was really looking forward to episode 8 especially the closer it got to release but with episode 9 I don't really care when it comes out. If there isn't much content for Riona and Lily and still no sign of a possible solo Josy route in ep 9 I won't be playing anymore.

True. the thing is I'm pretty sure there are enough content already, but this whole " I play test, and see if I have to add something to it " is really not encouraging thing to hear.
fucken aye rite, fuck mini games, just give me story and choice, do we really need a whole bunch of brain puzzles? "HOW ABOUT NOOOOOOO"-Dr Evil

lol she isn't even the worst character in BaDIK

...
If there isn't much content for Riona and Lily
perhaps, when talking about girls you like, you might take into consideration which are actual LIs and which are just not-that-really-important sidehoes
main girls get most of the time. others are there to fill the story.

I'd like to have cammy bangable in every other scene but sadly I have to refuse riona in certain scenes because why would DPC even consider wasting time on a character like riona instead on a sidehoe I like?
it's all in the eyes of a beholder.

Hasn't others been in all branches? I don't think I have a playthough without a main LI.

Sage, Jill, Bella, Josy/Maya, Quinn (she's in the banner now so I'm calling her a main LI).
Quinn has been in the banner for a while now. I don't think she is a main LI with her own branch because at the end of ep 8 when you choose who you want to be with she isn't one of the options.

To play Devil's Advocate here: If there's genuinely 15 hours of content then that is considerably more than most games on this site have all together throughout 3-4 years of development, so if it does take 18 months between ep 8 and ep 9 that's still faster (and with higher quality content) than most devs.

She isn't really a bad character but what I wrote about her after taking months away from the story for her episode, adding long waits to future episodes along with basically being a new character in a 3 year old game makes her the worst character in a game for me.

Of course they aren't going to get the time the main LI get and I have never complained about that or said they should.

it's all in the eyes of a beholder.
I am not asking or telling DPC to give certain characters I like more. This thread is for expressing opinions about the game and all I said was if Riona and Lily didn't get many scenes in ep 9 I won't be playing anymore. I'm not asking for anything just saying what I wanted to say.

Well, if you are a Patreon supporter, let me ask what is the general mood on the comment section after this announcement?!. are they at least start to get impatient?.

It's nice to be your own boss, but even in that way, you should set up a personal deadline at least, and not the: "it take ass long as it takes ". In the past, he at least had a reasonable development circle, with proper progress. Even Interlude was more Focused.
He knew what he wanted, what he needed to achieve, it was productive and visible, progress. EP9 is off the rail.
I don't frequent the patreon comments, I prefer to hang out here. When I first played just after ep 7 came out, I was so enthusiastic that I wanted to show my appreciation so I subscribed, but that's all, I never engaged further.
That's over now, and one of the reasons, besides my disappointment, is that I realized that I gradually lost my interest first for the Friday status updates, which I looked forward to in the past, and lately even for when the next episode will come out. I mean it's been so long, that I'm kind of detached from the story and the characters.

If a run lasts three hours, the chapter is not 15 hours. 70-80% of the runs are identical

She will be there, I keep my hopes up!

The "Others" option is only available if you aren’t in Josy’s and Maya’s relationship and don’t have a successful relationship with Jill. It will be focused on side girls ( Quinn, Lily, Envy, Jade, Nora... & probably Zoey ).

the fifth branch is "others"

Zoesy will be in all branches
Zoesy ? Zoey and Josy's lost girl ? :illuminati:

Good thing there are only 5 LIs for now. If Quinn, Zoey, Lily, Nicole & Riona had a whole dedicated path, DPC probably would have feel to need to add even more extra content for each of them. :oops:
