Are the seasons connected? Do i need to play season 1 and 2 before playing the third?
Yes. You have to establish who the main character’s girlfriends (or lack of girlfriends) are at the end of season 2, in episode 8. Can’t play episode 9 without that data, which ports into season 3.

I’m not sure why you’d want to skip the first two seasons; they’re fun. And you’ll have plenty of time to catch up before episode 10, because the developer’s a perfectionist and is juggling at least ten different routes through the game… and renders his own 60fps video, writes his own music, and obsessively adds other things to make the game more esthetically pleasing but takes him months and months to complete.

The mature way to handle it, well, at least for any confident man who hasn't turned into a complete pussy yet is to reply "That's true, and going forward 10 to 12 months will be the standard time per episode development cycle."
I'm guessing DPC would be wary of directly saying something like that. I'm sure there are still a bunch of his patrons that keep making up excuses like, "Nah, nah. It's because he was doing the special renders. That'll save him some time now. Nah, the new graphics cards just came out so now he has to replace all the ones he bought last year. We'll really be cooking with some gas after that. HE'S BUILDING A WHOLE WORLD, YOU UNGRATEFUL PIGS! PERFECTION TAKES TIME!"

I could see a few of them stopping support if he actually acknowledged one update per year is the established norm now. Probably not enough to even make a dent but enough to hurt his ego.

In terms of public image, there are two options. Directly address the issue and apologize or ignore it/suppress it until it goes away. The former will maybe help keep your reputation intact but might discourage continued support and maybe dissuade potential supporters. The latter will make you look like a giant dildo but eventually there will be new people who'll have no idea about what happened before.

Not saying it's not mostly due to how thin-skinned he can be but the reason I put forth might be an additional factor.
Well I figure DPC as a someone around 45-55 yrs old, most likely with a family. I can absolutely see him walking away, and just doing interviews and podcasts to promote his work. And just live off the sales. If he should commit to a new project, I'll certainly be more than happy to check it out. And I really hope he makes another, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Call it a gut feeling.
The way he's been going hard for BADIK kind of makes me feel the same. There are also times where I get the impression he's burnt out. It really feels like he's trying to make BADIK his magnum opus. Especially with just the sheer amount of different stuff he's putting into the game.
Might not necessarily mean he's done after BADIK but would he really be down to make another on this large of a scale again? I kind of doubt it.

Yes, but they have to be played in a specific order to understand the story.
First you play part 1 of season 3, then part 2 of season 1, followed by part 4, 1 and 3 (in that order) of season 2, which leads into season 1 part 3, season 2 part 2, the interlude between season 2 and 3, and finally part 4 of season 1.
You can ignore part 1 of season 1 as it has nothing to do with the game and is just a bunch of random family vacation pictures from DPC's time visiting all the men's rooms in Topeka Kansas where famous celebrities took a shit.
Enjoy :)

Oh it's definitely Patrick's fault he has her so stressed out and confused
She doesn't know what to do or say
I feel really sorry for her
No one else has suffered as much as her

But fear not I am here to help her
She is my queen and I will solve all her problems

Heck if she wants to fuck Sage I would be right by her side
We are a team after all
Haha.
And there’s Quinn, who grew up with her father, a drug dealer, and a mantra, trust no one, not even your father, and when you find someone you think you can trust, don’t trust him because he wants something from you. Which her father actually gave her. a407327b-df60-4c09-b847-e8081381dc35.jpg

The updated ETA on the animations in the render queue is 10-12 days. I am confident that beta testing can start within two weeks.

As usual, I can set a release date when testers have played, and I've gotten a feel of the remaining workload with bug fixing for the episode. The checklist they must work with for episode 10 is bigger than usual because of the new features. And more text means more proofreading, too.

I plan to announce a release date this month.

In addition to playing more runs, I added bios to the episode and touched up some details with tutorials and gallery replays. I ensured the in-game phone was enabled/disabled in the correct spots.

Furthermore, I've laid out an early plan for episode 11 development and started writing scenes. And I've started planning for the episode 10 release by preparing banners and art I want to post. My work currently consists of a mix of random but important things like this.

Thanks for your patience; the wait is always extra hard when it's getting close.

Have a nice weekend.

well I wasn't expecting this, I'm pretty happy I'm not going to lie.

I can attest to this. From what I've seen, he would even be willing to take "cummy kisses" from Maya (whatever that means, I don't want to know). Can any of you say you'd do the same for Josy? Case closed.

Why was Halloween in December last year? I must have missed that memo.

The episode was set at Halloween but DPC was 2 months late getting it out if he aimed for the Halloween episode to be released at Halloween.
Nah, bro. It's just that the guy loved Ep 9 so much that he was brainwashed into thinking it was released exactly on Halloween of 2022. He's been 2 months behind everyone else since then. Celebrated Christmas on Valentine's Day. New Year's Eve in March. Went to the beach in September and wondered, "Why the hell is it kind of chilly in the middle of summer?" He's been 2 months late to every wedding, family reunion, birth of his first born. If you can name it, he's been 2 months too late to it.

The real question is, how the hell does he know Halloween already happened? Right now, it should only be September for him. But it's okay. DPC is going to have a "Thanksgiving" special for Ep 10 so after that, he'll only be a month behind. Except if he's not from the states then he won't know what to do with that and may very well be celebrating Christmas in June out of sheer confusion.
