That's exactly my point, he CHOOSE to have this many, to constantly increase the amount. He could impose a limit on himself, keep what's needed, discard nice to have's, to deliver more frequent updates, but he rather up the numbers with each episode. This will legit be 8-9 year game. I guess it doesn't matter to him, he gets paid every month and once the game if fully out, with already established following, it might actually do really good, since all the new players will get the full package.
The momentum for current players though is all but gone.

You don't know that. Considering BaD is, like, 3rd most popular game on this site and how well the games sell on Steam. He isn't losing any interest, nor momentum, at all. In fact he is on the verge on having the most Patreon subs he has ever had. So by the metrics we can observe the momentum is actually more and more in his favour.

If you want to complain about delivery metrics then the space to do that is on Patreon where you can subscribe or not as you please.
On this site we're lucky enough to get the updates as long as they come and spread the word/rate it accordingly and even buy it on steam if we feel the work is of value.

Shaping up like episode 10 will be a make or break for a lot of players I really hope he delivers but if this another over hyped mess like last update could be real bad
This thread alone tells a different story. If the momentum would have be gone, do you really think this thread would get 3-5 more pages each and every day?
And even his patreon numbers are not getting lower. Which is kinda weird considering the momentum is gone as you think and considered that patreon itself is getting more and more insignificant.
I admit, i make a playthrough again and again every two months maybe, most of the time i just repeat my favorite path to keep everything in my head as a reminder or just to enjoy the game overall again. But being a dik is pretty much the only AVN where i do that. For all the others i just start a new playthrough if an episode comes out, well... if its a game where its worth it, most of the time its not.
Of course it annoys me a lot to wait that long for an episode, and its not reasonable too... he could very well deliver them 3 months faster with the same amount content if he would do more recycling of static renders and do less unnecessary animations. But well... thats DPC for you. and thats the reason why i canceled my sub on patreon and will only pay when its released once.
But looking at all the other games (with a certain type of quality) everybody can notice that the dev-shedule keeps increasing for all of those games. 10+ months waiting time if pretty much "standard" now. 2 years ago it was kinda like... 5-7 months. And compared to those other "quality games" DPC still puts out more content in the same time as them. You have to give him that at least.
I would perfectly be fine if DPC would recycle more renders again like he did in the first maybe 4 episodes. To lower the count of those but creating the same amount of content. As a matter of fact, i would prefer it that way. But just like DPC many DEVs decided to increase the render and animations count of their games, which increased the development time very much without getting more playtime out of it. DPC might be the most obsessed one with those things, but he has a lot of "company" regarding that.
*edit* oh and MOST Devs are just delivering less and less content, slower and slower, and doing less work or no work at all and all are just pretending with wallpapers and such... those are the milkers, and you can say what you want, DPC is for sure not a milker in that regard. I couldnt even name another DEV here that is writing DEV reports nearly every week... with sometimes real hard info in them.

I am luck to be late to the show here. I just downloaded the game for the first time and gave it a run through.
As a start-to-date exercise, there is a lot to do in one go. A lot a lot. It's very impressive, and I'm oddly invested in the characters. First time through the only path I deliberately tried to get on was Isabella, and somehow cockblocked myself. So I started over after applying the mod, and so here I am. I hope Cathy (the redhead teacher) comes back, and I hope I haven't seen the last of Jade. The three of them constitute quite the power trio...... it's like if The Police were super hot MILFs instead of a band.
I am not buying Jill and Isabella as best friends. The way they're characterized and drawn, I honestly thought Bella was her mom at first, not her bestie. So that's a bit weird. The game suffers from the common affliction of insisting older chicks have giant titties, and younger chicks have smaller titties. Not a rule in the game, necessarily, but some of these ladies, goodness.... haha (And I admit Bella falls into this category, despite being my favorite)
If you've been playing the game since 2019 and have become disillusioned over the pace of updates, I'm sorry. Because if you wait 4 years and play the game from cold-and-dark to where it is today, it's actually a decently long play and very entertaining.

Hm i dont think so.
I was very dissapointed with the interlude. Consequence was, i canceled my sub on patreon... i dont like EP9, in fact its my least favorite episode so it stayed that way and i dind renew my sub, only payed once for the epsiode, and i will do so agian. But its still better than most content delivered by any other DEV, except maybe 2 or 3 others, but they didnt deliver that much good content overall as DPC did so far.
Many players complained about episode 8 too, but mos tof the time i dont get why. Its one of my favorite episodes. But thats different tastes for you i guess.
No matter what, his patrons increased, if iam not wrong about it, he has reached his peak at the start of the year, naturally it cooled down a bit, but there a still over 13000 patrons which is more than he ever had before during a year. and those numbers will rise again when the episode comes out for a while, maybe reaching 15000 or more. On top of that... being a dik as really good numbers on steam and gog too. I dont think this will change with EP10, no matter if its good or bad. Not even the intelrude had a negative impact, and its the least favorite episode for most players, heck most players just skip it.
If there would be a "make or break" for a lot of players, it would have been a while ago. But there was only "make" not break so far. And EP10 will not change that. In the discord, on his patreon site, and especially in this thread you can see that everybody wants to get his hands on the upcoming EP10. yeah i complain too that the waiting time is too long, that EP9 pretty much sucked, and i even canceled my sub because of it. But it will change not the fact that i will pay once its out. And so will many others too.
A "make or break" point is long gone... His support numbers will not really go down anymore. The only think that can "break" this game is DPC himself.
For fucks sake... look at all the "milker" projects out there, not delivering any worth downloading content for YEARS. And still they have thousands of supporters and making a lot of money out of it, without doing anything worth it. I will never understand why people just dont quit supporting those milkers... but as long as DPC is working on this game, i am 100% sure he will not lose a significant amount of supporters.
For me... if EP10 is not that good (again) i will lose my overall "drive" for the game i think, at least until the next episode is out. so far i make new playthroughs every now and then, at least one complete playthrough every two months, or even every month... If EP10 cant deliver its likely that i will not make many more playthroughs anymore and just wait silently for the next episode. But nonetheless i would pay for next one too until the game is finished cause i just want to see the "end"
I really hope DPC can hold up his motivation to get the game done one day. With good will its at least another 5 years until the end, a very long time, where many things can happen in life. For most DEVs around here i would say "nope this game will never be finished" but i have good feeling that DPC wants to finish this no matter what.
Good advice... DONT use mods any kind. DPC doesnt want those, and is adding stuff with each episode to screw up the savegames if there was used a mod. Every single complain about the game "not working" is because of mods/cheats and those.
If you want to be rather safe than sorry, dont use them, use the walkthrough PDF if you are not sure how to go about a certain "path" Everything you need is in them, in detail.

I had an issue trying to do a New Game (Ep 1) after applying the Scrappy mod and the gallery unlockers. Then I started without them, applied the modes on a clean save, and was able to play all the way through Ep 9 without any issues.
The last time I touched this game was definitely when it was released and it's been a few years since then so I just want to know if I should wait longer or start with the game now because the next update will take even longer. Don't want to risk getting spoilers etc. "edit: but now i have my answer so yea..."

And also, if applying mods is something that breaks the game by design of the dev, then the dev is a sucky poo-poo. If it breaks my save in subsequent releases, so be it. I'll wait another four years and play the game from scratch again.
These are free-to-play porn games, and I am a grown married man with a job and responsibilities like cleaning my pool and eating Doritos. I'm not going to spend my limited gaming time resource by scrounging a Ren'py environment for $2 of in-game currency when I could just click "MAX Money" and get what I want out of my playing time. (Which is a diversion from the standard fappery of porn)

Erm..... NO?
You do realize that this is a pirate site yes? Being a dik is normally not for free, it is for free here, cause its pirated. iam kinda suprised that somebody like you who is a long time member on this site doesnt know that. Or is lying to himself...

Well judging by
You must be registered to see the links
's Patreon Daily you're wrong. The all time peak was ~18K in Nov. 2021 (0.8 release). The Interlude release peaked at ~15K, 0.9 peaked at ~17K. Up to 0.8 there was a consistent trend of increasing patrons, but since then it's basically plateaued around the 12-13K mark, with spikes around releases.Sorry wrong phrasing on my part, i said peak but didnt meant it. I wanted to say his average numbers were increased over time... and having about 13.000 patreons over a year now is the highest average amount he had so far.
And as i said, patreon is getting more insignificant, especailly the last two years. Interesting is his fellowship on other platforms, like steam or twitter (its on that graph too) which is building up more and more.
So no we are not at a "make or break" point or something like that, its more likely that his overall numbers will increase even more with time, though... patreon might lose more supporters with time, cause its getting more and more insignificant. Most of "the quality" games around here make already way more money outside of patreon. And thats the case for being a dik too.
