This week I started off making animations and renders for a lewd scene. After that, I felt like playtesting Sage's branch while polishing everything I found along the way.

I created Pack quest for the episode, added all lewd scenes to the gallery, tested special renders, and fixed some code for it. I fixed a big chunk of the final free-roam event code and wrote a bit more dialogue. I added some more choices and a couple of new scenes and polished what I could spot.

I enjoyed playing Sage's branch, and I'm sure you will too. What struck me the most were the differences between Isabella's and Sage's branches, playing them back-to-back. All hard work is feeling worthwhile, and this episode is starting to come together.

Here are some stats on the current progress and what I have left to do:

Episode 9 current total:

• 4564 static renders (0 in the render queue)
• 260 animations (231 animations produced, 29 in the render queue)
• 25 new songs
• 8 new sound effects
• 18 2D-art pieces
• 5 2D-art animations

Work that remains:

• 2 scenes left to write
• 6 scenes left to make art for
• 3 lewd scenes to make animations for (50-80 animations)
• Make some missing GUI for the new mini-game.
• Add music (95% done)
• Add SFX (95% done)
• Special renders/2D art - Some testing remains
• Scenes gallery - Testing and a couple of thumbnails for the missing lewd scenes remain
• Playtest and polish (20%)
• "Previously on Being a DIK" section
• Ending screens for all branches
• Verify bug fixes from the Interlude.

Phone content:

• Rooster (90% done)
• Phone chats (90% done)
• Bios (0% done)
• Stats (Testing remains)
• Vault (Testing remains)

Overall completion:
Static renders: 95% (Based on a 4800 render target)

Animations: 76%-84% (Final animation count is still hard to estimate)

Writing/Coding: 95%

Further insight:
I am currently alternating between writing the final scenes, posing animations, and playtesting/polishing everything. As always, I aim to keep a 24/7 uptime on my render stations while multitasking the remaining areas.

Have a nice weekend

Velma is officially a Lesbian!

Who is Velma?

 

[-VQueS-]

Foursome? Elena, JB, Fuckface and another girl? Or Fuckface and three girls?

Foursome? I reckon Sandy and Nicole want to invite a friend...

So, you're saying I can play as Zoey and have a Lesbian foursome? Squirt Wars! oh... you didn't mean... This is only for the Male MC? curses! Okay, games with Female MC's, bring on the Lesbian Foursomes! I mean, Jinkies! Velma is officially a Lesbian! let's go!

You're so easily fooled

 

[OFT]

I felt like playtesting Sage's branch while polishing everything I found along the way

Three guesses as to what he was polishing while playing Sage's branch.

 

[Oliver Wendell Homely]

Who is Velma?

I assume this is a reference to Velma from Scoobie Doo, not an actualy BaDIK character.

 

[n0cn1l]

1. DPC hires an assistant to speed up the work
2. The release is possible ALREADY at the beginning of November, possible couple days delay. November locked!
3. 260 animations are ready, about 50-80 are left.
4. Cut out a few scenes so as not to delay the release.
5. First foursome in the game.
I just don't know what to say. So much good news in one moment. It's ultra-based.
It seems that we finally waited. All the whiners will now calm down, all the alarmists will be silent, and in a month, maybe plus one week, we will get the long-awaited Episode 9. Open the champagne, ladies and gentlemens.

Heycock post was a joke man

I want to start this update with two important news. For the first time since I started working in this game I have hired a new artist to help me speed things up. This is going to be a permanent adition and I am quite excited that it would make development way faster. I will introduce him in the following days.

I also decided to remove a couple scenes I was planing to include wich means the actual target of animations left to render has been severely reduced. All things considered, with the new aditions and the new goal I think we can start beta testingin a couple weeks aiming for an early November release. Don't get too excited thought, the release may be delay a couple days if things don't go smoothly.

When it comes to this week I have been working and mostly completed a new scene I was hoping to work on for a long time now. I don't want to spoil anything but I think you will like it guys. It's the first foursome ever in the game and I am hoping this to be a new feature in every update. Special thanks to Heycock for sugesting me some of this changes.

Have a nice weekend
Love ya

I knew you would do the right thing, Pink Cake.

 

[hidden_robot]

This was not funny

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

Heycock post was a joke man

Damn he got me.
And it sounded too good to be true. But the numbers in the update look good.
So November still looks plausible, he has no statics in the render queue, only animations remain.

 

[ffive]

I was going to say OFT was a goddamn prophet...



... but, yeah.

You almost gave me hope for this game to be finished before 2030...

You motherfucker, I can't believe I fell for that

Shit I was already dreaming a foursome with MC, Jill, Tybalt and his watermelon.

This week I started off making animations and renders for a lewd scene. After that, I felt like playtesting Sage's branch while polishing everything I found along the way.

I created Pack quest for the episode, added all lewd scenes to the gallery, tested special renders, and fixed some code for it. I fixed a big chunk of the final free-roam event code and wrote a bit more dialogue. I added some more choices and a couple of new scenes and polished what I could spot.

I enjoyed playing Sage's branch, and I'm sure you will too. What struck me the most were the differences between Isabella's and Sage's branches, playing them back-to-back. All hard work is feeling worthwhile, and this episode is starting to come together.

Here are some stats on the current progress and what I have left to do:

Episode 9 current total:

• 4564 static renders (0 in the render queue)
• 260 animations (231 animations produced, 29 in the render queue)
• 25 new songs
• 8 new sound effects
• 18 2D-art pieces
• 5 2D-art animations

Work that remains:

• 2 scenes left to write
• 6 scenes left to make art for
• 3 lewd scenes to make animations for (50-80 animations)
• Make some missing GUI for the new mini-game.
• Add music (95% done)
• Add SFX (95% done)
• Special renders/2D art - Some testing remains
• Scenes gallery - Testing and a couple of thumbnails for the missing lewd scenes remain
• Playtest and polish (20%)
• "Previously on Being a DIK" section
• Ending screens for all branches
• Verify bug fixes from the Interlude.

Phone content:

• Rooster (90% done)
• Phone chats (90% done)
• Bios (0% done)
• Stats (Testing remains)
• Vault (Testing remains)

Overall completion:
Static renders: 95% (Based on a 4800 render target)

Animations: 76%-84% (Final animation count is still hard to estimate)

Writing/Coding: 95%

Further insight:
I am currently alternating between writing the final scenes, posing animations, and playtesting/polishing everything. As always, I aim to keep a 24/7 uptime on my render stations while multitasking the remaining areas.

Thank you very much for posting this...

btw astonishing how many people got fooled by Heycock Nasty Joke

However, Renders almost done, but we all know... they are not the most time consuming thing. The code, the little details like the phone and such, and of course the animations are taking the time. And as we see he has still to do about 20% of them. Woah thats a hit in the gut, dont think he can do them in less than a month. Than testing everything again, a little more polish... *sigh* even late November seems to get optimistic.

I know he is polishing and testing already, but its one thing to do that within the development with about 10% missing from the episode, and doing it when all is done... he has to test and polish again, cause the missing scenes can maybe influence others too, maybe he has to change some things and so on... All this will take time, at least another 2 weeks. Adding the animatiuons to this, i would say, a optimistic gues would be 6-7 weeks left... add another week as buffer, preparing the uploads... and we are very near or in december.

I want to stay a little optimistic, and stick to mid-late november, but it would surprise me a little if we get it in november i admit.

 

[Ottoeight]

Heycock, you naughty cheeky boy.

 

[Ottoeight]

Is this considered to be exciting news?

Well, now we are totally 100% sure that we won't see a Halloween update. Maybe a late november one.
