There a lot of women that would disagree with thatRendering is way faster than creating... Just saying...

However, that's basically just nothing but obfuscation of the same, simple premise, isn't it? The branching and the decisions don't actually influence the plot in any noticeable manner beyond whose sex scenes you will see on the given playthrough. Now, i'm not excluding possibility this suddenly changes, but i also don't think the likeliness of that happening is high, half way through.Well, mate, I think complexity matters... There's a big difference between a novel (because I don't consider them games) that's just "blah blah blah", "do you wanna see that scene?", "blah blah blah", "do you wanna see that scene?", and so on, and a game that has a complexity of branches, decisions, and variables attached to it.
I see people ask for walkthrough or "full saves" even for simplest of games because they're first and foremost fucking lazy and would rather get spoon-fed for guaranteed outcome (i.e. these sex scenes) than even try to think for themselves. BaDIK is still a Choose Your Own Adventure book at heart: sure, maybe with a few more decision points, but it doesn't really change its basic nature.Moreover, you can say that BaDIK is really a game: even if you want to see a scene, you may blunder and not be able to do it. The proof is there's a walkthrough and people in the forums asking for help to unlock some scenes, while in those "skipnetic" games, not even the really mentally challenged needs a walkthrough to see any scene.
Hell, more thing happend in episode 5, than in episode 9 .
I think this fact does not deserve to be disputed... both story moving faster and bigger number of events per episode. I mean really significant ones.Of course there are really slow moments but are you telling me the story is moving faster now?
I can't confirm or deny this, and neither you. DPC can say whatever the fuck he wants to say, and it's up to individual person whether to believe him or not. I tend to belive him less and less, personally.Well, here's why I think you are wrong. Even back in the day, DPC wasn't leaving his computer idle while he was working on his day job. His computer was rendering 24/7 back then too. So the limiting factor wasn't how much time he spent on "creating", but how fast his computer could render his creation. The fact that he wasn't a full time developer was somewhat irrelevant.
I think it'd be more accurate to say DPC used to be more concise, not productive.past experience however showed, he was more productive when he was a part time developer.
after all he did finish a game over in a year. He was able to tel a full story, with a bit more than 5000 Render, now he need 5000 render for a Halloween party night. and at the same amount of time, with more free time, and better, way better equipment than one 1080ti.
there is an actual day and night circle in episode 5. That is the point, it's not a couple of hours in a party. You start with the evaluation, go to the party than spend the night at Bella, Drive home cathy, and the morning, time with Bella and Jill, Yoga, Sauna, pancake and than you visit Sage, and Josy and Maya, and then MC visit the mansion give a speech and get his jacket.
Nope... EP5 party was several times smaller than EP9. There are no flashbacks and other stuff, which also works as story progression.
Nope, it can take considerable time to set up a scene, especially when you have multiple characters, there's a reason why Render Queue from the Daz store is so popularIf that were the case, it would literally be impossible to have a queue to render 24/7... Just saying...
I assume that Darkwen meant the development of the story for the characters and not the time component of the story.The story was moving faster? At the end of EP5 we are barely passed through 1(!!) week in game universe. Even if the events was intense it was just a Hell week stuff and first week in college. Which is NOTHING in terms of planned year for the whole story.
Well, I have a fair number of issues with the way DPC operates, but I haven't come across an any good reason why he'd lie about his development work yet. Literally every single bit of talk about "slacking off", "slowing down", "milking", etc. are pure speculation with no actual proof whatsoever.I can't confirm or deny this, and neither you. DPC can say whatever the fuck he wants to say, and it's up to individual person whether to believe him or not. I tend to belive him less and less, personally.

I looked this up on Dr. PinkCake’s Patreon blog out of curiosity.
Eight episodes in eight months. I know; it’s hard to imagine lately!
- Episode 1 of Acting Lessons dropped May 2018.
- Ep 2, mid-May.
- Ep 3, mid-June.
- Ep 4, mid-July.
- Ep 5, mid-August.
- Ep 6, mid-September.
- Ep 7, mid-October.
- Ep 8 (final), December 2018.
While Dr. PinkCake was dropping those last episodes, he was simultaneously developing Being a DIK. He completed four episodes—the entirety of Season 1—in 2019. I get why it took him longer to work on Being a DIK: more paths, mini-games, and detail.
He’s since slowed down a lot. Partly because of perfectionism, and partly to milk (and potentially lose) patrons. But that quarterly schedule shows us what he’s truly capable of.
Your right what I meant was that the story was developing faster and the relationships with characters, sometimes time moved slowly and other times it was moving faster but the point is the story made progress which is the important partI assume that Darkwen meant the development of the story for the characters and not the time component of the story.
EP1-EP4 served to get to know the characters of the game and to make a future-oriented decision regarding the LIs with EP4. That's why it's tied to the EP4 branch.
EP5-EP8 are intended to consolidate or change the decision made by the player regarding the LIs. I assume that changing an LI between EP5 and EP8 will only have milder consequences. But in EP8 the selection of the LI is made fixed.
In Season 3, the MC's player can finally start to strengthen the relationship the MC has entered into and set the course for a future with his girl in the right direction, or he can really mess it up by cheating. In this respect, EP9 was really enlightening because the TC points were introduced and the MC may or may not collect a lot of such points during the Halloween party. Remember what Jill said in EP4. As long as the MC isn't in a committed relationship, dating other girls isn't a problem. But in EP8 we had to make a firm branch decision.
So I think for Riona's kidnapping to actually be the introduction to the Season 4 theme.
You are right, there are no more events, there are more routes. In season 1, we all played the same playthrough with minor changes. Now the game is divided into routes with a lot of exclusive content. As a result, the game grows in width, not in length.Yeah, but every episode actually moved forward that event , and its actually started in episode 3 , the whole hell week arc. stil more than episode 9. Hell, more thing happend in episode 5, than in episode 9 .
I am argument is asinine?The total size of Acting Lessons is less than 1/8th of the size of BADik at this point. You're argument is asinine.
Jill will take it up the bum in the upcoming episode. She will at least try it after the tremolo guy asks her. Will it be successful, who knowsIn his Q&A DPC said that two of his favourite lewd scene to write were the two big anal only scenes in which MC fucks Sage and Bella in the ass for the first time, so I think this pattern will repeat in next episodes. My main candidates for ep 11 are obviously Josy and Maya, as after all the teasing during Halloween threesome I expected to see at least one of them trying it in ep10. The way I feel anal will be introduced is by a dare in the game they are playing, either by MC to both of them or more likely one daring the other. So I expect them to be all together when it happen, but I wonder if they will both try it or one will only watch the other (it would be fun if also this time Josy lets Maya try it and than bails out, or even the opposite as a revenge for the tongue piercing accident).
Another possible candidate, although I think less likely as she is not a main girl, is Lily, that hinted in a few occasions the possibility to let MC fuck her in the ass.
My very optimistic theory for anal fans is that DPC planned this season 3 as a first anal season for all main girls, even if I don't know if Jill will be ready for it by ep 12. Do you think there is that possibility or is it still to early?
So, which girls do you think will let MC inside their asses next and who would you like more having anal sex with him?
