Didn't he once say EP16 will be the last one? That means around 6 more years at the current rate.
That's what I thought, but I can't remember if epilogues/endings were in the 16 or on top of the 16.
How many episodes total will DIK be? Has the count raised or lowered as you write the story? The episode count has increased since the start of the project. Originally, I thought I'd need something close to 8-12 episodes to tell the story, with way shorter episodes. Today, I'm fairly sure that Season 4 will be the final season. I also suspect it won't be a traditional season, as it includes the endings. How many episodes Season 4 will have isn't decided yet, but I know the rough outline of the final season, and I will enjoy every moment of creating the conclusion to the story. We are getting closer to the end as episodes start answering more questions than asking new ones. I believe my previous estimate was 15-17 episodes, and depending on how the episodes will be counted in the final season, I believe we're looking at something like 14-16 episodes total for the game. I know I need up until episode 14, for sure. At that point, it gets blurry, but I'm not stopping until the endings are what I want them to be. I don't want to rush the end of the game, but I don't intend to linger to extend it beyond what's needed.

At the rate of 1 update a year, maybe. How many more updates to the end?
problem is the one update year is likely coming to a end this year. DPC hasn't confirm yet but there 14-16 eps in all. So lets go with 16 Ep 11 comes out in 2025 that would put ep12 2026-2027 at best then another interlude so ep13-2028-2029 maybe 2030, ep 14 2031-2032 ep15 2033-2034 ep16 2035-2036

Genuine, without insulting anyone, why in a visual novel, would you find attractive a broken person like Quinn?
Is it overall a gag? Like ha ha i can fix her?
Quinn's not broken and there is nothing to fix about her. She's just a bit relationship shy, but she's opening up at her own pace. It takes time, but it's well worth it. :giggle::love:

Theory crafting time:

Is there a DIK traitor? No.
Then who installed the camera? Ron.
Why Ron? He's a peeping tom (Derek's path in dorm) and Betas wanted revenge on DIKs and Alphas for their abuses (wedgies, etc.). So, he used his technological know-how to install the camera (he probably also installed cameras in the Alpha locker room where he captured Chad + Troy together) and put the photos under the Alphas door as a prank rather than blackmail.

Why did Beth put up the Hell Week photos? She wanted revenge on DIKs for their abuses (walk of shame).
Was Beth also responsible for Cathy's posters? No.
Then who put up the Cathy posters? Dawe. He hates Cathy for flunking him, so he saved the Rooster cluck and put up the posters and can't help himself to 'show off' asking Lily if she saw them, etc.
Was Dawe also responsible for the Rooster cluck? No.
Then who sent out the cluck? Ron. He obtained the photo using his hidden camera in the locker room, then hacked the laptop to send out the cluck.
How did Ron get on the laptop in the first place? Not enough information at this time. He probably works for campus IT or something. DPC put some misdirection about Rusty hooking up with someone and the laptop going missing in the library as a red herring to create the impression there might be a DIK traitor, but not really.

How does Stephen Burke get the Jade video? Jamie's lost phone was sync'd with the DIK laptop and the Jade video was transferred over. Ron in his IT role was given the phone through lost and found, he snoops and finds the Hell Week materials, and sends it to Stephen in hopes it gets the DIKs in trouble.

What role will the Vixens play? They are looking to score drugs. At the Halloween party, they find Tommy's needle in the basement (it disappears from Tommy's room between free roams after the party starts). This is what they mentioned to MC while under the sheet thinking she was Tara ('we got something good'). I predict in a future episode they may find Quinn's cocaine baggy. The ensuing OD may cause Quinn's empire to crumble.

What's the deal with Bella? She has an untreated mental condition. The library scene with Holier-than-thou Hilda shows Bella fooling around with James. But, in reality, James was a figment of her imagination in this scene (there was likely a real James, but he had already left the picture). Hilda sends Bella home because she is speaking to no one, not because of perceived public indecency. Note Hilda never addresses James. This scene occurs just prior to Bella taking her position at B&R. Her cold persona is a result of a mix of medication and trauma. When MC exclaims he would have 'called for help' in retrospect, it is referring to her medical condition.

What's the deal between Jill and Bella? Bella was close friends with Jill's sister and was probably also a wild child. After Jill's sister died, Bella became a motherly figure for Jill. When Jill started college, she mentioned to Bella that she was sexually inexperienced and that this was a source of anxiety. Bella provides her with basic sex ed, but after a night of drinking wine together they ended up falling asleep in Bella's bed and getting intimate (kissing, touching, but stopping short of full intercourse). Bella has a strong negative reaction to this (related to her mental condition) and forces Jill to never speak of it again.

What happened to Jill's sister? She was using drugs and ultimately died from drug abuse. This will tie into the Vixens and Quinn/Tommy/Vinny storylines.

Why was Jill bullied as a child? She has a stutter. It is only revealed in a few lines of dialogue in the game thusfar, but she has likely had speech therapy to overcome the issue.

Why are Quinn and Riona doing what they do? It is mentioned they owe money to 'her' (probably Priscilla), referring to something other than drugs. The cause is yet to be revealed, but almost certainly involves something in their lives prior to joining B&R. The cause might end up being surprising and paint Quinn in a more sympathetic light.

What about the restaurant? Stephen Burke wanted to have sex with college girls. So, he arranged to launder money to pay for their scholarships to get it. Stephen slept with three girls - Sarah, Melanie, and Riona. Quinn is using them plus Camilla to also hustle money on the side using the glory holes while also bribing security guards to look the other way about drugs.

What about Madame Rose? Josy hates her mom. I wonder why ... who wants to bet that Madame Rose is Josy's biological mother and that she marries Steve's dad from the mini-mart, making Steve her second step-brother to pair with Tommy?

What's the deal with Maya's tuition? The loan is a ruse by a used car salesman to try to control her behavior. This will be swiftly realized in the next chapter and an easy workaround will be found. The drama with Maya's family will involve rebuilding trust with Patrick in the short time remaining before Helen's death.

Is Derek a genius? Yes!

What's in Derek's 'do not drink' bottle? Twice distilled ass vodka

Will MC's grandfather come back into the picture? Yes, we've already unknowingly met him at the Prep party. He was the one talking about a corporate retreat and disliked Jill's dad. He will be one of several important voices to help B&R weather the storm when Stephen Burke publically falls from grace.

What is the importance of Zoey's affinity? Zoey will enroll at B&R and either help (CHICK) or harm (DIK) MC's chances at solving a future dilemma. Zoey can also become a LI if she shares same affinity as MC on Others path.


That's all I've got for today, go away now!
