"Special Announcement" next Friday.

He realizes he's about to get a ton of shit for going a whole calendar year without any sort of new Chapter, so he's trying to get in front of it.

I mean, honestly, the thin skinned prick deserves to get shit on here.

He should have NEVER done the Interlude, and he should be releasing this new chapter in chunks if it's going to take this long to get out a new Chapter.
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.

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.

For the sake of replayability, once a player has succeeded in the mansion repair and in the party planner, they should be skippable retaining the same result.

I mean: they can be fun ONCE but we have so many branches, and most of us want to explore if not all of them at least a few... being forced to repeat those looong minigames is a boring waste of time. It's no surprise people resort to cheating.

The same goes with the looong free roams that make impossible to skip already seen content and concentrate only on the differences between branches.

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?
On Windows, if you go to C:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\Roaming\RenPy (or equivalent if changed), you should find folders for all the Ren'Py games you've played, unless you've been in there before and deleted them. This is the backup location for save and persistent files. If you copy this folder over to the same location on the new PC, you'll be golden, even if you haven't yet installed the games themselves. Once you install the games, your save files and settings will be there waiting for you.

Announced Announcements never delivered, no matter what. So... nobody cares.

But the DEV report is looking good to me... a January release is still in reach. Depends on the animations though and how long it takes to render them. Which depends on how long they are, which we dont know. But the whole Dev cycle is build around the animation queue from day one, so no suprise that the animation queue will be the finish line too. But the remaining animations should be done in january. If he can manage it to finish them early january, a january release is possible, otherwise february... but i dont think it will be later than february, that would be weird. It looks like much is left, but its not... besides the animations everything else will be done within a month or so...

That said... i hoped for a october/november release when the dev cycle for this episode started. But at that time i thaught that episode 11 will be smaller than 10. But here we are. If the episode would be about the same as episode 10, it would have been released already. Now the episode is about 20% bigger than the last. I dont like it that we have to wait longer and longer... but getting more content is a trade-off i can live with. Most games deliver less with each update but taking more time... so, yeah. I dont have time to play much in december/january anyways, so the waiting doesnt hurt me anymore at this point. And i still need to complete some playthroughs before episode 11 anyways, enough to do.

January is a pipe dream with a queue of 60 animations, plus the ~20 that still need to be posed for the last lewd scene,

Add in all the statics required for the 20 scenes of various sizes that only have the writing done and combine that with all the time it takes to polish the Episode (which by itself might add more scenes which demand statics/animations) and a Beta that won't be shorter than 3 weeks and only late february/ early March is viable.

That's assuming a 10 animations rendered per week average btw, which is a bit optimistic.

while i agree he deserves a big pile of shit,it's unlikely to happen, no one dares to do it due to not wanting to get banned from his discord and patreon.

*rolls eyes*

Because piracy websites don't exist, or you can't use a Hotmail account and a pre-loaded debit card to set up a fake account for one month to rip on DPC, get that "sock puppet" account banned, and continue on with your regular account.
