Seems like 5-6 months is a normal interval for a high quality single developer VN for larger updates. Eternum is in scope much smaller game and the last update was from February with the next being projected for late July or early August. For PC the two developers spit the next update in half to be able to have an earlier release with the first half and those are actually two guys working on it and not one.

DPC has a very high production quality, I mean in what other VN do you have a scene like you had during the contest in Ep. 9 with what...50 or so characters on screen? All in unique costumes, most of them have a name and at least some form of characterization as in "the player kinda knows them", with around...20 or so being very fleshed out characters...yeah, he takes his sweet time, but he also delivers the quality in my opinion. Sure, 9 months really is a stretch but there is no real way to make larger updates in less than half a year I think.
We are at a stage where we are closer to yearly update that 9 months, last update took 11 months. The update before that was the interlude and took 6 months while being small. As each update (aside from the interlude) always took more time, the future one will most likely not be released before November.

I'm just glad that DPC keeps updating his game, he could just advertise it with no new release for a few years with no significant drop among his patreons.

Not the case. Ep 8 was November 19th. Interlude was March 4th. That’s 15 weeks so around 3 and a half months. Ep 9 was December 16th. That’s 41 weeks or 9 and a half months.

Don’t get me wrong I think he needs to to reign himself in and get time back closer to 6 months or 7 months. Should be achievable with the 4090s.

Don't forget to count that newer episodes got more render and animations even tho ep9 was chore disaster it is still whole lot bigger than 6/7 month timeframe episodes.

Regarding content, here's a breakdown of the number of speaking (and thinking) lines the main characters have:
  • Maya: 3169
  • Josy: 2817
  • Jill: 2722
  • Sage: 2561
  • Bella: 2454
  • Derek: 2390
  • Quinn: 1854
  • Zoey: 967
Maya dominates (at roughly a quarter of the entire dialogue for the main LIs), and Maya and Josy both sit at the top of the list. Obviously the mc spent a lot of time with Maya in her dorm, so that boosts her dialogue count, and Josy and the mc have a little bit of history, so that gives her an advantage too. But I don't think that makes them canon in the slightest.

Most people can't separate their emotions from what is objectively the truth. Quinn is canon!
Quinn is truly perfect woman. Not only she is very hot but also doesn't speak too much unlike this accursed chatterbox known as Maya.

EP 10 can get things back on track, which seems like it will happen or at least hope it does.

The abomination called Interlude never existed. That's what we good people just want to believe for our own mental sake.

If you think that DrPinkCake will release faster updates because he upgraded his hardware, you're naive: he is going to make HEAVIER updates with more and more animations and frills (minigames, music, bigger free roams and so on).

I bet a tenner and a pint of beer that we will see 1 update only in 2023 e 1 update only in 2024.

Wait, let me count...

From November, we have Somuchshoppingmywalletwontrecover (1), December (2), Toodrunktoremember (3), January (4), February (5), March (6), give or take a few days that's about 6 months.

From March, we have April (1), May (2), Shescutebutidontrememberhername (3), June (4), July (5), Sohotithinkidied (6), August (7), September (8), October (9), November (10), December (11), give or take a few days that makes 11 months.

:p

If it doesn't, we may all wind up wishing Arigon was right. That's an unpleasant thought.
That would be worse then the worse case scenario, to me anyway which right now feels very unlikely. DPC might be crazy but he's obsessed and is the only person that really knows what is going on, everything else is guesses about 1 and 2000 are almost right everything is wrong. Keep in mind any of Dalix theory have a higher chance of being right then Arigon :ROFLMAO:

The most annoying thing with BaDIK is that DrPinkCake keeps adding more and more mysteries without solving the old ones:

in episode 9 we finally learn that Sage is harassing Tybbie on Rooster... but... who the hell is Priscilla? who's the blue eyed woman in Derek's bar? who placed the hidden camera?

Anyway, I'm starting to think that Stephen Burke posted the naked Cathy cluck on DIK's Rooster. If it wasn't him, then his wife (Jade) did it.
No, I think so that was Vinny.

Two problems:

1. MC wasn't a DIK yet when the cluck was posted, so he didn't have access to, or even know about, the laptop. He would not be a suspect to Tommy.
2. Vinny has a beard, MC does not. Even a girl as dim as Becky wouldn't confuse them.

I stand by my opinion on almost all points. You helped me to look at some things differently and change the course of my thoughts for a couple of things, but nothing more. I respect your point of view and I'm not going to reconvince you of anything. Time will tell who was right and who was wrong. I think that no one, in the end, because it is impossible to predict everything 100% accurately. So it's more correct to say who was right for the most part, sort of.

In any case, thank you for reading and for taking the time to answer.

Since I have nothing more to add and I have no desire to argue about the same thing over and over again, then maybe we will meet sometime later, after my next similar post. If you have the desire, time and energy, I would love to read your theory and view of the game, not necessarily on the same points that I had. There's a lot more to discuss left. It would be more useful for everyone.

I'm in a good mood today, I got a little drunk, so here's (the essence, cause and consequences of our verbal battles):
