So it's a happy new year release then? Waiting for a couple of games now that I thought was really awesome, this being one of them :)

How about Mr Search Bar in the upper right corner over there?

Me: "hellooo Mr Search Bar, please tell me whether DrPinkCake announced a release date for Episode 9."

Mr Search Bar: "man, I told you 1 million times already. Just leave me alone."

Thought I'd just write something to keep track on games I'm waiting for updates on... But thanks for taking your time to quote and reply :poop:

For a visual representation of how much longer this episode has taken; this is the table for the static renders.

There are nearly 900 more still renders for Episode 9 than 8, but release will have taken an extra 12 weeks, which was already and extra 6-7 more than the previous couple of episodes.

There are actually over 50 less animations, but i'm not sure how consistant he is with tracking them. From what he's said this episode has more long form animations and animations that are made up of smaller animations, so it's possible this is actually many more for episode 9.

For this episode he had Covid, he had the issue with the music and he had the issue with the guy selling the game. So perhaps that's worth 3 weeks, so maybe the episode could have arrived a few weeks earlier.

The real concern I have going forward is animations. His average for this episode was 7.6 a week. Episode 8 had been 13.3 and episode 7 was 12.5. You have to go back to episode 6 before he got the 3090 cards to get to a similar average of 7.7. That episode only had 162 animations.

Perhaps if he fully upgrades his rigs to the new gen of Mobo's, Processors, RAM and 4080 GPUs he can get back closer to the episde 7 and 8 prodction cycles even with the new style of animations. Truthly I think a combination of this and cutting back on sprawl are probably the best way forward.

The problem with counting animation by the number is that a 5 second animation and a 50 second animation both count as 1 animation. But the time required to produce them are nowhere near the same.

In other words, counting by the number of animation is entirely meaningless, especially when DPC has said outright that there are more long form animations in this episode.

I am a fan of this game but this game will be 4 years old in 2 months. What year will this game be completed? 2026? and this is only the case if the development time is no more than 7 months per episode. Since development time per episode tends to increase then 2026 is an optimistic date. I replayed some scenes from episodes 6-8, and the game starts to feel outdated. I really hope I'm wrong, but over time, more players will begin to feel the same way, imo.

Yes, that has complicated the tracking of animations. It’s probably the real reason he has seemingly dropped from around 13 a week back to 7.5. Unless he upgrades his rigs, the average will still be fair reference point.

Realistically we’re talking one update next year unless he reduces size/ upgrades systems. That might just open the way to two episodes the next year. So possible season 3 will be finished in 2024 maybe early 2025. He may then have another 4-8 episodes. So could be anywhere between 2028 and 2031.

Dude, DPC doesn't really care. I don't understand why you people keep complaining about this bs in a pirated site. DPC gonna complete the game when he feel like, also it his game, his choices. Also, Basic business rule- Successful Businessmen doesn't care about their customers, only the product.
Also, next time if you want to complain do that on his discord maybe there he will read your messages (unless you got banned lmfao)

I've been waiting since 2016 for the last storyline episode of The Long Dark, so I think I have enough patience for BaDIK. And DPC provides much better lewd material. It's extremely difficult to fap to TLD (but not impossible :sneaky:).

If I recall correctly MC is not that taller than Josy. His freakin neck should look like this

Bet you didn't know MC is 8 MC dicks tall.

This, according to DPC's own measurements:

I could be extremely dumb and ignorant of what machines are required to efficiently render and process games of this quality cost, doesn't DPC make BANK? If he/they are being bottlenecked by something so silly as subpar equipment wouldn't that be such a lay up of an area to improve? Doesn't really check out to me.

Again though, I'm not going to run from allegations of me being an idiot, lol.

Yes, he makes plenty to upgrade. There is some argument for him waiting, until the newer tech has more stable drivers, and Nvidea stop their cables melting. He can probably increase efficiency a decent amount with new rigs all tuned up.

No, that's not Greta Thunberg. That's Filippa Paperin.

Here's the news article that picture came from.

I happen to have expert and intimate knowledge that my picture is, in fact, of Ms. Thunberg because I did a 3-second Google search for current pictures of her, and that’s what came up.


Killjoy. :Kappa:
