One thing that might get over look is DPC likely knew there would only be one EP this year so he put as much as he could in EP9 to make up for that fact. If it works that reminds to be seen. As I said before I think its going to be great but I don't think he can have another year like this as far as development goes
I have a feeling that Episode 9 will be incredibly cool, such a magnum opus of the whole game.
I hope that he speeds up and the next ones will be more balanced, but... it's hard to predict.

Can someone answer this for me, IS THERE ACTUALLY TURN BASED COMBAT? XD
you have it as a minigame on your phone (a way to earn money on your freeroams)
and you get into several situations where you fight the antagonists. it's not that often

there is no s3 yet, you have an interlude as a standalone
but in order to play it, you need to finish the first 2 seasons

Señor NebulousShooter, the numbers don't lie and they spell NO UPDATE for us in November. :Kappa:
A November release is still possible. If DPC winds up adding relatively few animations to those already in the queue (or these animations themselves are smaller) and ups his rate even slightly he could finish in time for a release on the 25th of November. It's longshot at this point, but as long as DPC is finally in a trimming mood (as opposed to constantly looking for things to add) we've got a chance.

I have plenty of opportunities for pessimism, I figure I might as well celebrate all these numbers with some rose-colored glasses. :cool:


Funny you mention Christmas since that might be when we play it lol
Also that one excerpt about being prepared for the last few animations taking a while didn't sit well with me. On one hand, I thought we were done with that business of "really long animations that will take a while to render". On the other hand, I don't know why he'd say that if it didn't mean the number of animations per week was going to take a hit. Then again, it's not like everyone has a source of people tracking the progress of the game to minute details like this. ;) So he could just be saying "Don't think this is going to come out by Halloween."
Yeah, the fabled uber-animation seems to have been washed out in the final tally. Of course we didn't really get any numbers between August 5 and September 4, then another drought until last week. It's possible the slowdown would have been clearer if we had weekly reports. But in the end it's just one animation and DPC has 8 supercharged rendering stations. The real question is whether all the other animations are also increasingly long and complex. Given DPC's general outlook and the slower render rates this cycle, I'd say we have our answer.

Seasons 1 and 2 are a single, standalone program; there's a link in the OP. Season 3 is a separate program, but you'll need to import a special save created at the end of Season 2 to play Season 3. As of right now it's just the Interlude (a short cutaway to a side character that doesn't advance the main story). Once Episode 9 is finally released (which will be part of Season 3) the MC's story will continue.

If DPC did something like releasing it on the very last day of November or even on Thanksgiving, he'd be the ultimate meme lord by ruining NNN. :LOL:

I mean if anyone here got gaslit by two girls whom you thought had no relation to the other.
Safe bet any normal person would be pissed.
Y’all need to socialise more
There's no gaslighting going on there, buddy. Josy told you in the beginning she was involved with somebody. Maya was a bit less forthcoming, but neither of them had any reason whatsoever to suspect you knew the other, there was no real deceit going on with that aspect of it.

MC over-reacted like a bitch snowflake. Yes, he's justified in being upset, but not to that extent. Especially if you consider how much potential there is for him to have been dipping his stick elsewhere the whole time. Derek was right to call him out for it, too.

Having been fortunate enough to socialize with a couple girls who shared a dorm room, I wasn't bothered in the slightest. ;)

If anything, if I was the MC I would've tried to the turn whole situation around like "Hahaha, this is so funny right girls? Anyway, you like her, she likes you, I like you, you like me, she likes me, I like her. Let's just roll with this and see what happens."

Haha, I didn't mean it like that. I'm just saying usually there's only person working on a mod for a game. At least for BADIK, it's not all on one person.
Bud, I'm just poking fun. I seriously don't give a shit either way tbh. I mod for my personal use and share a few in case others like them as well. Life's too short to be bent over cartoon porn, ain't it?
