Updating an Adult Visual Novel made with Ren'Py and DAZ Studio once a year is ridiculous. Anyone know the reason behind it? Steam big bucks?

Haven't followed anything AVNs related in a long time, may be out of touch
Well his updates are miles bigger than some other's 2-3 updates a year so better ask them why they can't put decent sized updates out over.
Seems he just likes to make big updates that have lots of stuff in it. Guess he could release a update that takes 5 mins to play after 6 months like others do. Would that keep people happy, who knows. At least the content is normally good and of a sizeable amount.

Again, the point i made last year still rings true. I was actually not pessimistic enough, looks like 1 episode a year is going to be the norm.

Jill, Sage and Bella are probably the 3 most popular characters. Combined, how many scenes and focus will they get by 2025? Not enough.


Absurdly large Free roam & Exclusivity paths shutting you out of 80% of scenes will kill this game. DPC doesn't seem to get is that the more you delay a change the harder it will become to change into something else, DPC himself said it would be between 14 to 20 episodes.

In the next 2 episodes (so 2024 at the earliest) how many scenes will someone on the Bella route see? No more than 2-3 actual sex scenes, same with the Sage & Jill routes, because you keep getting shut out of more & more content each episode. Really terrible decision making

When you compare it on a content to timescale view it's practically the same if you release smaller but frequent or more but infrequent.

Hell 1-2 updates a year seems increasingly the norm of late by devs in the 3D AVN space.

Yeah, his updates are just massive. Then again: Some of his decisions aggravating the problem considerably...*cough* 60 fps animations *cough*...

No argument there from me, I've mocked it enough myself.

DPC has some of the worst feature-creep issues in this space, especially with the need to insert pointless minigames (paint the fence, drink the booze, tidy the room) whose only point of existing (the rewards) can be skipped and just unlocked via the Vault.

Even the more thought out ones of late like the mansion repair and party planning then have a stupid emphasis on RNG to require save-scumming non-shitty set-ups.

And why shouldn't he. You generally don't make completely new backgrounds or settings.

I can't even number the games that have used this park with underpass:

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I think BaD hasn't used it yet, but the overall I don't find it to weird for DPC to use the same assets in different games as long as they are of good enough quality and do their job.
I ain't sayin' he shouldn't. Both games are his, aren't they? But I think he shouldn't use that many models of Acting Lessons in BaDIK, or if so he shouldn't use them for main characters like Josy, Quinn, etc. Not gonna lie whenever my MC bangs Josy, It feels like banging Ana to me. Same goes for Quinn as well. And believe me that feeling is kinda weird lol

I don't really see that much of a resemblance with most of them, but I can understand how this is pretty much a "what has been seen" situation. :KEK:

I also would agree, that it makes a difference if we're talking about a setting or background or a character.

I'm almost sure that Queen is much more popular than Sage and Jill, because it is clear that in the first episodes she was quite secondary, but then she slowly moved to the shelf of the main LI. :unsure::)

I call obvious bias on your opinion about Quinn. :KEK:
What does bias have to do with it? This is a fact. So it was. That's how the game developed. It wasn't me who transformed Quinn from a minor character into the main LI.:WeSmart:
And I could be biased with other girls, but Bella and Jill are on my agenda and not much inferior to Quinn. Although Quinn and Zoey certainly come first.:)

I meant that you accidentally wrote "Queen" instead of "Quinn". That looked like a clear freudian slip. :KEK:

Actually, no. Quinn went from having the same variables as the main LIs, which meant she was originally a main, then dpc removed her variables as an LI and even made a huge announcement on Patreon that Quinn, Rio and others had been moved to side pieces. Now, I don't know wtf he's doing, but Quinn still doesn't have any of the variables that the mains have.

Edit:
Was proven wrong. Don't mind this post. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Uhm, there were never any "LI variables" for any of the side girls, going all the way back to the v0.1 release. And even pre-release, DPC told us the 5 LI's and none of them were called Quinn.

Yes there were. RP points.

So on and so forth. Some of those are still listed in the scripts.

Isn't the point of a freudian slip, that it isn't reeeeeaaaally an accident? :KEK:
Ok, let me spell this out for you. Was it really an accident or are some people so enamored with Quinn that they purposely call her Queen?
Yes there were. RP points.

I know what the RP points are, and those only ever exists for Josy, Maya, Sage, Jill, and Bella, the 5 announced LI's. Those exist from Day 1 and are still in use to some degrees. But none of the non-LI, including Quinn ever had any RP variables. What you claimed, that Quinn had it and was subsequently removed, is factually wrong.
