Well what is the real numbers because the jump he gets from ep 10 or 9 doesn't really count because most likely are just buying the update then leaving until the next one which is pretty smart on there part, it the base number that really keeping this going
Between steam and "occasional" patreons, I think its existence would be assured anyway
Three scene I've never seen thankfully yes Madame is a waste of time but I'm not going to blame a girl I don't even see, yes she does, those 3 scenes alone was probably at least a month. Making the Renders, the animations, the script, and everything for just those 3 useless scene.
He went to the " Full time Game developer " mode, when he reached the 3500 patreon target mark, that was his target, when he decided, if he reach that goal he quit his job.
. and reassurance that he can, wait for it .... Milk it
A typical day at F95. Nothing new
This happens with every game with every update drop; not everyone can afford the luxury of a monthly fee. Just an observation that this release was a record breaking one.
This is guesswork. We don’t know how much development costs him, thousands of assets from DAZ, each costs the same as an AAA game, bills for electricity, hardware, + he lives from this money, not having another job.
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.
The Patreon system is cool and allow to support an endeavor with little if no guarantee. Problem is when patrons detract it from his meaning (updating a game) to a render/report project.
Let's not get make DPC a martyr though.
A project involving only one person cannot be so heavy and so in need of funds for survival.... Then certainly the more one earns, the happier one isA typical day at F95. Nothing new

Maybe now yes, the dude is a multimillionaire and is buying himself another Koenigsegg, but even to go on Steam and release there Season 1 he needed patrons - this is how the indie industry works in most. No Patreon - no game, that's simple. Especially such heavy project like BaDIK.
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 .
Of course there are really slow moments but are you telling me the story is moving faster now?
I refuse to believe he not pirating the things if he can. That's all I'm gonna say.
Which it great ep 10 did that but if DPC was worried about his money he would be moving faster, personally I don't think number from the around the update and after it count unless he keeps them it the middle numbers that between updates that countA typical day at F95. Nothing new

I mean, for the most part the choices in BaDIK boil down to whose sex scene you will see or skip, too.
Never a martyr. There is something to scold him for. An obsession with control, a ridiculous solution with 60 fps animations, heavy censorship on Discord/Patreon and aversion to criticism... But I won’t blame the DPC for doing business, it’s ridiculous. After all, every game developer doing business.
He may and will begin to worry if there is a strong downward trend on Patreon, which is not observed now. Plus sales on Steam.
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.OMG, both are you are Fake.
DPC was a A Part-time developer, before Badik episode 5. Episode 5 from start to finish was the first episode when he worked at as a Full Time Game developer, . Everything before that, including the whole , and entire Acting Lessons was made while he had a " Rel life Job", and game development was just a Side gig for him, and in fact, he worked faster when game development was just a hobbie project to him
So, Yeah in fact he is working slower now, with much more time, and way , way better equipment, because it is in his interest to not make it fast.
If that were the case, it would literally be impossible to have a queue to render 24/7... Just saying...
That could happen if patreon's get tired of waiting it would test if DPC really means it when he says he would keep making the game even if he was the only one playing
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.
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.
