the only thing i have to say about this: we can hypothetically imagine plenty of scenarios where he could speed up his process. we can even take him at his word that the percentages have finally increased and things will move along faster now.

but as it as been from the very beginning, DPC has always been able to speed things up and finish BaDIK faster but has yet to actually do so. no matter what platitudes he gives us, i think its very fair to say he will finish this game as fast as he feels like. and that pace has never been particularly fast

He never explicitly stated he worked 7 days a week. He said 12-18 hours a day each day of the week. A week can be a working week (5 days) or a full week (7 days), but his recent update actually gives me the impression he doesn't work weekends.

"I will return to posing animations next week."

The fact that he does the status update letting us know what he's worked on for the week on a Friday, and then starts telling us what he'll do "next week", I get the impression that starts on Monday.

So I'm going with, he works long hours Mon-Fri, then he takes a break on the weekend while his rigs just keep on chugging along.

If he's smart, he won't work harder than that, there's absolutely no reason to.
I hope he takes at least ONE day off a week. Working at such a pace without interruption is insane. Chronic fatigue, irritability, then nightmares about game development and then finally inability to work and burnout.

DPC - Yes, this guy, what's his name... Oh, yes, Geralt. Geralt is right. I perform a feat every day. But I'm not complaining. I'm doing this for you guys. I can't help it. That's the way I am.

Well, it always depends on motivation. I work every week at least 40-50 hours in special field. But still I do not get even fraction of donation. Of course money is not everything, but if it is funded by community it should be well spend on hiring team/proffesionals.

I actually disagree with this, DPC has an autistic obsession with this game, he's done well this far, and I'd hate to see shit getting fucked up by some outsider coming in adding in shit that disrupts the vibe of BADIK, it might be slower but I'm not in any rush, I'd rather be certain that the same dude who's made my favorite AVN by himself, continues to deliver the same stuff he has been.

For what? To make the development even more complex and slow down? Hiring people to make an renpy game doesnt increase the development speed one bit. There are hundreds of example around this site where teams are making games and they are slow as fuck. I cant name one single game with a team behind it that can even be near the quality of BaD, dreamers or Artmeis for that matter. And especially not content wise. There is just one reason they form a team... cause the indivudals are not capable of doing everything on their own, beacause they lack talent... Devlopers like DPC, philly, drifty, digi.b and maybe ocean too, prove they are making more content of higher quality than any other "devs" or even Dev-teams, by far... and they all are flying solo... so i really dont get it anymore why some people think everythign would be better and faster if DPC would hire people... it doesnt work like that.

DPC has the ideas, while he writes scenes he get new ideas... so, if he maybe would hire some artist for the renders, each and everytime DPC has an idea he has to contact the artist and this artist has to make the renders... by the time this is running DPC would made the renders by himself already, and would be pleased with the outcome, if somebody elese would make them, for each render DPC has to check them... which is just as timeconsuming like making them himself... story writing in the hand of others? Nope no fucking way... animations? DPC loves to make them, if he would give them out of hand he would have burned out long time ago... there is a reason why he put so much time into making them, especially making pointless animations, cause its fun to him, otherwise he woudl go nuts. Coding minigames? the same, its fun for him and sometime a distraction, give this out of hand and he will lose his passion pretty much in an instant, guranteed. We already were at that point, it the reason why DPC made the interlude, cause he was sick making BaD.

No it wouldnt make anything faster, and for sure not better... and it doesnt make any difference if the animations and renders slaves are his or someone others either. So really... hiring people wouldt help in any way, ONLY if they would be capable doing something DPC cant do. And thats the only reason why other DEV hire people... Overall it would more likely disturb his work flow very much and slow everything down even more.

I mean we don't have any solid proof that they hired those 100000 ppl they were saying they did so your argument here is not valid...
Not sure why they'd lie about it. There'd be a lot more sympathy for one person dealing with learning a new system for the next season of their game and therefore delaying an update then there is for someone who has hired a team to deal with it and then suffering huge delays despite the new team. This isn't the thread for that discussion anyway.

If you want another reason why DPC shouldn't hire people look at Ocean who tried to hire coders to help with his game and they just didn't do the work for him. Unless that's just another lying dev because it doesn't fit your preconceived ideas about what is best.

but on this subject do his words have this much value? it seems normal to me that he 'tells' of a heavy and continuous commitment (I remember in an update he announced that he would be taking a week's break and emphasised the exceptional nature of it), any other version would be counterproductive

in the end he is like a worker paid by the hour (actually months)

I would give Tybalt better odds of fucking a hot chick then DPC hiring a team keep in mind I put Tybalt chances at 0:ROFLMAO:
In fact, we must admit that in reality Tybalt has every chance to fuck any chick he wants. And he doesn't need to be a genius for that. It's enough just not to be that super space-scale jerk, as DPC presented him in his game. In reality, it is guys like Tybalt, rich, with a great prospects in life, they fuck any chicks. Yes, yes. Any chicks... Given the context of the game, MC should be more careful. :WeSmart:

in reality, Tybalt could never fuck any chick he wants.. it is proven. Jill can't stand him. and all he did with her was stalk her and be himself, the lying, manipulating little dick cunt that he is. unless he changes his personality with say a lobotomy, there is zero chance he changes and the only way he will ever get laid is if he is pursued by a gold-digger that he likes the look of or if he hires a hooker..i give him better odds of hiring a hooker..since the money is mommy and daddy's not tyballs...
