I worked on the big free-roam event all week and estimate I'm ~70% finished with it. To some of you, it might feel like I've been stuck here for a while, but there are plenty of scenes and characters in it and I can assure you that everything is going forward at a good pace.
The free-roam has 771 renders, and I have 15 scenes left to work with before I can move on to something else. 8 of those scenes need writing and art; the rest needs art.
I mostly posed static renders this week, but I also posed a longer animation that I think will come out great.
I also produced two new songs I wanted for two specific parts of the episode. I wasn't sure if I would make any new songs for this episode, but I love how these turned out.
Meanwhile, my PCs are slaughtering my render queue. 16 animations remain in the queue, but two are very long, making up for ~3000 frames together.
I have counted six lewd scenes left to create for this episode, and I plan to work on some of them after the free-roam event to get more animations into the queue.
Have a nice weekend

he'll be breaking the 20k render mark soon (Static plus animations as animations are made up of statics, essentially). Guy is crazy and I am all for it!

 

[adast]

Btw, is he working alone or he hired someone?

Alone. Which makes it all the more impressive. but, then again, he has 5 monster PCs all with 4090s. When you have 13k subs the skies the limit, I suppose!

It's really weird to me that this guy doesn't hire anyone.
He could've achieved much greater quality and speed if he did.
Plus he can grow his business this way and there is a lesser chance of him losing interest in this when he can outsource the boring tasks to underlings and concentrate on the creative stuff.

P.s. Talking about 4090s - it's kinda ironic that I bought one for my PC and all I play these days is Being a DIK.

15 scenes left in the free roam. Hpw fucking big is this free roam?! Fuck! Another free roam fest. Looks like this is the way of BaDIk going forward.

This debate goes around and around, but here are the key points why he doesn't hire anyone:

• He doesn't want to.
• He'll earn more money if he does it all himself.
• He enjoys doing it all himself.
• He's in no rush to finish it.
• He's a bit of a control freak.

And that's pretty much it in a nutshell.

Do you not like them?
To be honest I kinda enjoy party free roams in s2 and s3.

I enjoy them, the first time around, but I enjoy the story more than clicking around the joint, and they make replaying it using different options more tedious.

Are you playing on PC? Did you ever save your game with mods installed? Tell us about yourself, the more we know, the more we can help, like do you enjoy along walks along the beach?

He has a vision and doesn't like people meddling, nor does he like being a boss to people. As he says this is his project and his alone. I can respect that. He makes, like 40k a month or something ridiculous purely from BaD. Rarely goes on holiday and is always working on the game - even when he is bed ridden he is writing code or something. It is his life seemingly. His business is already over many platforms. Undoubtedly already a multimillionaire from the AVN game.

He is pretty much the most successful AVN dev out there and BaD isn't even finished. Been at the AVN business now for, what 6 years? Has zero signs of stopping.

Once this game is done I am sure he will get right back on it and start a new game. Plus, the quality is fine.. Also I doubt many can render faster than he can now. Those five pcs are sure hard to compete against unless you have a 15+ all slaved together with server level tech etc.

Yes I play on pc I already saved with mods yes but a long time ago and I never had any problem and yes I like walks on the beach x)

This is an english forum, moderators will delete your comment becouse of that. Answering at your questions i think there is a spanish translate in some place, but i recommend you play it in english, the translates are no very good... If you can´t speak englis, please use translator, i speak spanish too, but this is the way.

They can use ChatGPT to translate.

DPC is a control freak, it would be a miracle if he would ever hire someone.

And financially it's way more profitable to keep his pace than to release updates faster. He is probably gonna ride the BaD train for another 4-5 years, then release a remaster or a couple DLC's a year after and live happily ever after.

I don't think he has any buisness plans beyond that and I would be shocked if he ever starts on a 3rd game, but then again anything is possible.

DPC wants it to be completely his project with his vision, he doesn't want to share it with anyone.
In addition, hiring other people always needs to be distracted by management, and this doesn't always lead to faster development.
I mean, people study management for 4-5 years in college and not everyone can learn this talent, but here we have a solo artist and IT guy who probably doesn't have this skill. So hiring people is not always a good idea for an indie project like BaDIK.
But I have to admit, game became to big and popular in this genre for "indie".

The free roams from the last episode left me with ptsd

Incrdible how one Developer can do all this by himself!!!

I have the feeling that he can greatly expand his business (and profits). Just look at the Subverse Kickstarter campaign - the market is untapped.

And that's pretty much it in a nutshell.

Don't forget that hiring someone also mean turning time he spends directly on the game into time spend on project management and so the time saving is not as much as most people think.

I'm willing to bet most people who keeps complaining about DPC not hiring someone has never spent a day managing a project and has no idea how time consuming project management is.
