Ooooor... there will be a "Save Riona" minigame set in Vinny's basement and implemented as a maze with random logic (*)

(*) clicking on the door you came from, won't get you back to previous room, instead at each click on a door a random room is selected. :mad:
Old timers like me will remember the WTF mazes in Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders :HideThePain:

Riona's kidnapping will play out over the next 5 seasons with the MC getting a random body part mailed to him at the end of every update. It will culminate at the end when the MC finally rescues her from her kidnapper but by this point the only thing that is left is her head on a stick.....she still survives though and goes into business giving excellent blowjobs.

Did anyone ever count how many times "Vinny van" was spotted through game and what significance that might have? I remember seeing it pass by Riona previously before kidnapping (when she had a chat with Camila I think). Also it was in the background when MC and DIK's discussed Arieth's crabjob situation. I'm sure there were other times sneaked in the background that I don't recall. So this all leads to Vinny and which inside man would be besties with Vinny? Nick. But it all seems so on the nose, every every evidence points towards Nick (his spared room from thrashing, him being in library when Cathy cluck got posted, him being in full body costume during Halloween party and not speaking (could be another person covering for him inside that thing), him being thoughtful/sad all the time, him wanting to get rid of Tommy because of Heather could be nice motive etc.).

It will either be a "oh, so it really was just like evidence suggested no mystery or plot twists... kinda disappointed" OR it will be absolute mind blown experience that was kind of foreshadowed, but not so on the nose. One of those "of course how could I not see!!" moments. At least I hope it's the latter. But really the former is fine too, not really a bad setup and certainly more effort towards plot than most games.

First of all, a couple of serious questions I have

1) The next month, I will use a new computer. If I want to play BaDIK in the new computer with my current full gallery and my saves, what archives do I need to backup?
Just make sure you do not delete your save files and your good to go. But if you deleted it go to your drive C:/Users/[pc name]/AppData/Roaming/RenPy
You will find the backup saves there and copy it to your new computer

2) When DPC releases previous episodes, Did he publish the walkthrough simultaneously or we will have to wait for it?



If anyone is so dumb to believe the obvious fraud, he deserves whatever happens after he installs the malware :devilish: :devilish: :devilish: :ROFLMAO:



The most important thing is Does Madame is still alive or she has been hunted for her oil and fat?

After reading the announcement, I still maintain March 25 for the release of episode 11 (I really hope to be mistaken) :cautious:

Also grab the files out of the 'persistent' folder inside the Appdata/renpy folder.

It will have your transfer saves to Season 2 (as well as transfer files and others for other games you may play).

It was a very productive week. I finished all the remaining writing. Yep, all of it, as previously stated - is written.

Moreover, I added new patrons since episode 10 to the credits, added the Vault digits to the episode, double-checked that they worked, and ensured that all special renders were added.

I've now started working on the remaining art.

Here's an updated checklist and my current thoughts.

Unfinished writing
  • Analyze if any branch needs more writing during polishing. Other than that, all scenes should be written and ready for art and polishing.
Unfinished art
  • I haven't counted the exact number of scenes that need art, but it's ~20 scenes of varied length.
  • Static renders and animations for a small lewd scene
SFX & Music
  • SFX & Music for the scenes mentioned in the art section; the rest of the episode should be close to completion.
Coding & other tasks
  • Rooster needs 1-2 more clucks.
  • Analyze how much more the phone gallery needs. It's near completion.
  • Phone chats are near completion.
  • Add Bios to the entire episode. It's a couple of hours worth of work.
  • The end of the episode report needs to be written.
  • Add Discord rich presence functionality for Episode 11.
After the above comes the polishing, proofreading and beta-testing process.

My thoughts on all of this
Creating the remaining static renders and animations will be fun and not pose any greater difficulties. I will have to design some new environments for the remaining scenes. I expect big progress with the unfinished art over the upcoming weeks.

There are two big remaining hurdles before beta testing and proofreading - one labor-intensive and one limited by hardware.

Rendering the remaining animations is one of the hurdles, but I'm seeing a decent speed on what's rendering. 60 animation files are currently in the queue.

Polishing the episode is the labor-intensive hurdle. I'll have to play it many times in different ways and make changes where needed. During this development cycle, I have only played the entire episode two or three times, with some gaps along the way.

I scrutinize the episode during the polishing phase and adjust art/code/writing accordingly. This is one of my favorite parts of the development cycle because it shows all the hard work since the last episode. It's when the episode starts to feel complete.

I plan on working on art until I'm done posing every written scene. I might do a coding task or two along the way, but the primary focus will be completing the art now.

Proberbly the release date, unless he's making another Interlude type of episode (but I doubt it since most seems to have hated it).

I doubt he will put in voice acting. It's way too much work and hard to get done right. And if he would, he would proberbly wait until the remaster he has hinted about maybe doing at some point in the future.

Good morning, coffee time. I'm very sleepy, so I will need two cups :coffee: :coffee: :coffee:

Interlude was so damn pointless imo. I didn't feel like I learned anything about Zoey tbh. I "learned" way more in ep10 and only at that point I started to care about her at all. I feel like it would make zero difference if interlude never happened (or if he just did like short recap of her trip in episode 9 instead, to how I'd feel interacting with her in ep10.

Also, if it was up to me, the only minigames I'd keep are the mansion and party planner one. The rest are so annoying and provide 0 replay-ability and he even went to rework fighting minigame lol. It makes replaying game so annoying and so much dev time wasted.
The only reason you have to play the interlude is getting the lewd scenes and specials renders the first time. After that, if you play it again, you are a Zoey simp ;)

About the minigames, after I played them for the first time, I will say almost all of them are a waste of time, but, hey, DPC is happy making them, so:

Being DPC a fan of the "The mentalist" (TV show), he can make a whole season about Riona's kidnapping. We will have to play at least 10 minigames posing as "Patrick Jane" looking for hints until we find who is "Red John" (the main antagonist of the series) and we find out Riona was in her parent's home the whole time (They were preoccupied about Riona being a whore and drug addict :ROFLMAO:)

Being serious, I don't think Riona will kidnapping too much time. Vinny will question her about all the things Quinn has been doing the last weeks about drugs and "the restaurant", so he can plot something against her, Tommy and/or the girls from the Pink Rose

Yeah, it's weak-sauce story wise. I didn't mind an interlude but feel it's by far the weakest chapter/episode of this VN. Zoey’s whole interlude could’ve been 5 sentences and 5 renders. She left, sucked at surfing, worked in a tattoo shop, fell out with a friend and came home realizing she missed MC.

We didn’t dive much into her as a character, we mostly see routine everyday shit like surfing and work that most stories skip over for good reason. Because of NTR fears there was nothing there lewd wise with her once she’s in SD either. Worse her and MC look silly because it's clear she's oblivious he's in love and we see that from her POV where she's confused how distant he is. If he was going to do an interlude there needed to be something there to hook on to and there’s not. You mostly see Zoey pottering about with zero emotional stakes until the very end when there’s sudden drama.

I wish the interlude had focused mainly around MC and Zoey before she left, show why he loved her and show their dynamic in detail. Plus you know we’d have seen her dicked down more than once in her own mini episode :rolleyes:. It’d at least have added weight to her character and her dynamic with MC and actually caught her up with the established MGs and SGs a little.
