Normally, I work 7 days a week, but next week I have to take two days off for a personal matter. Knowing this, I pushed myself extra this week, staying up later than usual to compensate. I'll make sure that my PCs will render when I'm gone.

This week I worked on static renders and free-roam events.

1835 static renders and 134 animations are produced.

I tried to roughly estimate what's left to do in the update, before proofreading and beta testing. Take these numbers with a grain of salt.

• Scenes left to write and produce art for: 7
• Static renders left to produce: ~400-700
• Animations left to produce: ~15
• Some phone features during free-roam
• Writing and adding bios to the code
• Writing Episode 5 ending report
• Implement Replay gallery and rewards (partially done)
• Some mini-game code
• Some free-roam code
• Music and sound effects have been added to ~75% of the episode.
• Playtest and Quality control

Thanks to all of you I reached 5000 patrons this week and to celebrate the final poll for Episode 5 is open for all patrons. The poll isn't over yet and it's a close fight for the third spot, cast your vote

Have a nice weekend

Guys are you sure that remaining progress takes 1 month?Because remaining animation and render count seems not much according to this legendary worked week.Can one of you tell me that how much time remainig works takes except renders and animations.

I know I am new here, but I had to stop by and just say it: This game is a f***** masterpiece. I am in Chapter 2 and this is just great writing. Thanks A LOT.

Yeah still a month to go at least you have to take into account proofreading and testing will be the last thing he does.

Well, put it this way; last week's progress update said they'd done 1572 renders and 126 animations, and this week's update says they've done 1835 renders and 134 animations. So, in one week, they've done a little under 300 renders and 8 animations. The recent update says they still have 400 - 700 renders left to do and 15 animations, so you do the maths on that one.

Add in all the coding, writing, free-roam events, and testing, and yes, it will probably be about another month.

I asked because i don't know about coding thing and I had a hope someone answers who at least understands that.

It sounds reasonable about testing thing.Thanks

 

[Holy Bacchus]

I asked because i don't know about coding thing and I had a hope someone answers who at least understands that.

Even if someone with coding experience answered it's still impossible to know exactly because every game is different. The level of coding in this game is not the same as others, especially those that are far more linear. My only experience has been with coding for back-end web development and Flash games many years ago, which itself was a major pain in the ass, so I can only imagine just how long this game takes when it's fairly clear how complex it is and as such will certainly take a lot of time.

That is much better and I know you are a huge fan of BaDIK and checking forum everyday.Appreciate it bro , thanks.

I'll put it bluntly the only person that knows is DPC we can speculate on when it will be ready, and that's not counting any issues that may arise which seems to have happened over the past week or so and it's not just about the coding either you got to take into consideration the rendering. He even says we've to take those numbers with a grain of salt.

 

[likeWhatever]

Good luck, you will need it , she loves chick choices, same as Bella

Yeah i kinda figured, just hoping for simple yes or no and none of the chick choices but that's probably wishful thinking. Oh well what's a game with no challenge

 

[topkeker]

Maybe i`m just a flaccid wiener. chick, but every time i try to do a full dik play-through i still end up longing for the Raccoon Queen.

And every time Chad beats the mc and i choose to act like a dik towards Jill something inside me cracks , prolly balls.


Hopefully 99% of that 1835 + 400~700 renders will be Jill`s. Rest can be Derek`s feet in MCs mouth .

Raccoon Queen?

I guess this has been asked before but ... at this point in the game is it better to go for a route (dik or chick) or can I go neutral (without losing content in general)?
What is the address?

Regardless of what route you pick, you will not get all content on it. Some content is tied to the DIK path, some content is to tied to the CHICK path, and a lot of content is tied to general choices. If you want to view all content, you will need multiple saves on different routes and to save and load your game at certain choices in order to see different bits of content.

As far as which one is better, it's down to personal preference. There is no objectively optimal route at the moment, only what route is best for you.

 

[BloodyEntry]

Is there a Riona (best girl) sig? Just wanted to know.

Go to page 1 and view the fan sigs.

NEUTRAL path is full-fledged choice. You don't have to be DIK or CHIK. You can be a normal guy.

 

[Deleted member 1571565]

NEUTRAL path is full-fledged choice. You don't have to be DIK or CHIK. You can be a normal guy.

you're still going to miss content by being neutral, just saying. its better to keep multiple routes.

 

[Buggie]

for this one, being a dik will reward you more...juicy content. I really looking for the new season

 

[DeFuZe]

Happy Easter everyone! I really wish that these free-roam events to allow us to redo some scenes like Riona and Camila phone call in bathroom with some text variations like you know *Hey you are back, or something to keep it fresh* , or future scenes to be implemented that way. For me thats the beauty of free roam- to be able to go back to some side girls and relieve the stress beside collecting magazines and money across the map.
