It´s entirely and also extremely possible that I´m dumb but... Does Steam has any advantages over the Patreon, besides saved money? It´s a big decider I know but does it make a difference content vise?
The Steam version has the same content. What you get extra is the opportunity to get 44 achievements.
and cloud storage but that's a relative advantage
That's all you really need to know for now. And of course it's better for people who can't support DPC over patreon backing him on steam is the next best thing.

I mean, in terms of money, yeah, since the Steam version of BaDIK costs around $10 and it's a one-time payment whereas some patrons will be paying $10 monthly and will have been doing so for some time now, so Steam players who aren't patrons spent a lot less money on it.

The drawback for Steam players is having to wait until the entire season is done, and that depends on how many episodes DPC packs into season 2, so it could be a year or longer before they get to play it. Patrons, on the other hand, get to play each new episode as they come every few months, and people can also pledge when the update is released so they only have to pay once every few months.

The issue I see for a potential linking of Patreon with Steam is that patrons pay Patreon, not Steam, so Steam surely wouldn't be making money from patrons who can get the game on Steam by linking their profiles, if that's possible, because they're already paying Patreon. There's also the fact that, as DPC has said, the game isn't available on Steam in certain countries, like Germany, so making the game Steam exclusive would cut off patrons in countries where it's not able to be played.

Other big devs have tried to do this whole encryption, DRM stuff before and I'm not aware of anyone who's been able to make it work because it can be costly and hard to implement. Even if devs don't like their games being shared for free, most are doing OK income-wise and even the ones that aren't are generally happy to have lots of people play as it helps boost their profile.
I agree with you 100%. I´m already a Patreon, just wanted to know the opinion. I can´t imagine, how would you combine Steam + Patreon. Steam is almost as restrictive as Patreon. Basically, it´s a roulette

Not to mention all the bureaucratic red tape and fees that comes with getting a DRM, which is probably why devs who have considered it before haven't done it.

technically you just need to pay the fee once, patreon takes 30% of every subscription payment

Any news on the update? I've been away for a while and I don't want to search 100 pages for it.

Expected late May/early June at this stage.





Two weeks ago I made a bullet point list for you, with the tasks that remain before beta testing and proofreading.

Here's an updated version of it.

  • Scenes left to write and produce art for: 4
  • Static renders left to produce: 100-200
  • Animations left to produce: 1 + waiting for the current animation queue to complete.
  • Writing and adding Bios to the code
  • Writing Episode 5 ending report
  • Implement Replay gallery and rewards (almost done)
  • Some mini-game code
  • Music and sound effects have been added to ~95% of the episode.
  • Playtest and Quality control
I'm sure many of you are wondering if the release is in May or June.

It's hard for me to say which it is, right now. The final percentages of any project are the ones that take the longest time to complete.

I'm feeling fairly sure that beta testing (my group of private testers) and proofreading will start in May.

When it starts and I have a grasp of the workload for the bugs they find, I will announce the public release dates.

Have a nice weekend

Okay, so if you're like me, then playing the Shuffle game on a timer was pretty difficult. And if you're expecially like me, you've been drinking kraken all night and...

The strategy is to fill the top row first, right? But you probably get stuck in a position where the top right corner piece is in front of the top-middle piece and then you screw around with them for 40 seconds until the timer is up.

Start by identifying the top pieces, especially the corners.

Then, put the first top-left piece into its corner.

Next, put the top-right piece into the spot to the right of the other corner piece.

Find the top-middle piece and push it underneath the top-right corner piece. Now the whole top row should perfectly snake into order as you rotate them around.

Now you're playing a 3x2 puzzle and you should be able to click randomly until it all fits together. Maybe focus on the left side first until you're left with a 2x2 in the bottom right. But yknow...

This worked for me in the first area. I'll post more if things get more difficult. Get that cash-money and spend it on the hottest girl.<3

I'm expecting it to be something like that also I'd be very surpised if we had sex with her in episode 5 still think it's to soon for that.
yeah, i also say there would be no sex with Jill in ep5
also i even think BJ is out of the question at this time, i just can't picture it :D
she is so sweet, nice and innocent with her words that i think she never gave any guy a BJ in her life :)
maybe second date, little kissing & touching and that's it :D

With Jill, it's going to be all about the build-up I think that will be a step at a time but I feel as though the eventual sex scene with her will be worth the wait I am in no way a Jill fan but I'm very much looking forward to it can't imagine how the racoons feel :LOL:

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Joking aside, I hope you enjoy the game. I worked my ass off to create this and boy this is expensive.

I need funding to complete this project.

If you can't afford to donate on Patreon, you can still show support by liking or reviewing the game.

Cheers
I love your work, BaDIK was my fist game of this gender and still my favourite now after playing more then 50 games lol
Acting Lessons its great too I cried a river playing AL!

Bros I got a good feeling. The doctors been coding these past few days, he said itll take awhile for his beta testers to test each route though because the file size is 2GB (which is huge that's like the same file size of some completed games on here example depraved awakening)

Also in the discord they were estimating how much the final file size would be of Badik and it would be anywhere between 50-60 gbs.

If you can support this project, especially if its gonna be 10-20 episodes and 4 seasons.
