depending when you started playing the basic varies greatly! evreryone agrees with you nobody agrees on what the concept of basic is!

it was a facepalm consider it a facepalm i keep my promises today and perhaps tomorrow all your posts will get a facepalm!

but you loose in growth, every new project you get that reaches a new demographic or market brings in more people! DIk brings a certain crowd Al brought another and his next project will bring another crowd so the faster you finish your projects for as long as you do no compromise in quality means wealth increase! just because he makes green bucks does not mean once he reaches 25k patrons he will not be making the orange bucks!

ofc he will need to find a new angle, perhaps a buddy cop comedy or a Beta life to reach his new market, so the longer he takes to finish or update the staler his brand becomes and fewer and fewer clients he will find going forward! there`s a reason why companies like Netflix Tesla Uber or Google spent at least 1 decade not giving profit and eating up investment money! its called growth the moment you choose to act on the profit your growth potential pays... but the moment you turn 1 billion users into 100 million 10$ payers the 250 to 500 millions you lost you recover in 1 year and then some moving forward! if you fallow the other path after 10 years you´re making 10-50 millions a year and every new customer as an higher price to make market penetration!

the dangers of such strategies is if your moats to entry into the market you just created is not enough to keep competition at bay for long enough for you to make the turn around such as whats happening with Youtube, every time they try to a turnaround a new competitor appears and a few clients abdicate the service and get Disney+ or Netflix! but i attribute it to their monetization system being run by great marketeers (the best that money can buy) and not really creative people like me!

Kellermann do not underestimate the power of blueballs mountain queen many a Mark takagi have suffered by such assumptions

as for me paying as a patreon is not for me i use steam by giving a friend the money and he buys it for me as a present, do not trust the interwebs with your wallet!

Easy with my name there Jack. Are you people actually that petty to trash talk me behind my back and belittle me like this? What are you? 12?

People like you here never learn. Because I happen to have morals and decency to play a game and not be a typical guy screwing everything that moves? You know, I dealt with more of my fair share of people like you in school, you types weren't with my time then, and you sure as hell are not worth it now.

So keep laughing it up. I'll keep lurking and responding if I see something.

Boooooo, man whoring is as valid a kink as any other and I, for one, will not be shamed for it

Mark Takagi I give you a good advice.

Don't respond to them, as soon as you do, they realize they are successful and move on.

Just read over these posts and don't respond to them.

It seems that Jade's skin has suffered burns

You see that face, you see those tits and then you see that shoulder

I think DPC should contact Yeero since he is also from Sweden, and he could teach him to make the skin much better

That's what I thought too. It almost looks like she was sleeping on her shoulder and just got up. Also, again with the milky eyes, like a snake getting ready to molt. But, I'm pretty sure that won't be in the main game. I hope.

jade she is sexsy as always

I don't patron games though because even though I understand that you're supporting the developer the idea of paying so much for a game doesn't commute.

I'm glad DPC's games are on steam, because patreon is really out of the picture for me, specially considering the exchange rate of my local currency

 

[OFT]

Once you make the 10-20 buck commitments, it's too much effort to cancel it.

It's literally 5 clicks to cancel. I put more effort into responding to this.

 

[Razrback16]

that will be a big problem for many players....

I'd love to start seeing the updates have a torrent created for them just like the base install due to the size. Would help with download speed and reliability. I have a monster internet connection so a big download of even 100GB wouldn't be a problem for me but for folks with limited speed in smaller countries, etc., some of the download hosters that sometimes stall in the middle forcing a restart would kill it for folks with slower connections. Torrents don't have that issue.

 

[dalli_x]

I have no problem supporting talented game developers on Patreon.

I just hope that DPC doesn't burn out so quickly. As I read, he works up to 18 hours a day and in my opinion that's not good for your health in the long run.

I also read that he doesn't want to have any employees. But maybe he should reconsider this attitude.

His EP's are getting bigger from time to time and at some point it might be too much for him. With a small team of selected employees (2-3) he could reduce the update time at the same quality and probably increase his patrons on Patreon.

But this is my opinion and DPC should and will do it as he sees fit.

Was gonna mention it too, but I just assumed the lighting made it look weird and foggy.

We're looking at 6 months in between updates. If this goes for 20 episodes then it won't finish until to 2027-28. Even if it goes for 16 episodes, it won't be completed until 2025-6.

I think it's fair to say that the extended release times are an issue. I also don't think it's unfair to question whether or not updates are delayed as a way to make more money. It's your decision, but donating 60-120 bucks per update is absurd.

This week I focused on working meticulously on lewd scenes.

I posed static renders, checked and wrote the dialogue, and added animations if I felt that I wanted more of a scene.

I chose to do this now, so I could pose any additional animations early so I don't end up with them at the end of the development. The updated animation count is 240, of which 236 are fully rendered, and I have two lewd scenes to do this process for.

Many static renders were posed overall. There's a big lewd scene in particular that I spent 2.5 days working on. This branching lewd scene is my biggest one yet. It has 69 animations and more than 200 static renders.

I spent some time scouting for sound effects and music as well. I purchased and implemented a few new songs, but I'm not done with this yet.

Next week I will most likely complete the 2 remaining lewd scenes and then continue to work on the story.

I have produced 2891 static renders. If I look at the script and estimate the remaining number of renders to pose, the ballpark number is somewhere between 1000-2500 static renders. I know that is a big range, and those are huge numbers, but that's the best I can estimate right now, as everything is planned but not written yet.

Poll news
In the 2D art poll for Maya, the winning option was Schoolgirl with a front focus. I will order this 2D wallpaper and add it to episode 7.

Six wallpapers remain in the series, meaning that I will post the final wallpapers in March.


Have a nice weekend

Dr PinkCake

March April release, its gonna be the biggest episode so far. Im wondering who will have this biggest animation.
Im hoping Sage

 

[Razrback16]

I really hope DPC doesn't keep the paintings closed down to following certain paths I mean I dont feel like he closed certain ones for good and I kind of want them all.

ya wasn't a fan of that. i really want to get josy's but i was locked out because i'm not in the throuple or whatever the requirements were. same with a few other girls where minor stuff locked me out.

Ya, I was a Patreon for about 5-6 months at $15 and I ultimately have paid more for this game than I paid for AAA games with full DLC packages like Witcher 3, lol. For people who stay Patreons throughout most of the development, they are literally looking at hundreds if not thousands of dollars for one game, lol. That is crazy. I agree with dalli_x that it would be nice if DPC could find a way to hire a person or two to help out - updates honestly shouldn't go beyond 3 months on the lengthy end, IMO.

He is greedy, it will end up burning himself, if it continues at this rate with each episode having more content, we will have one episode per year.

DPC has created a beautiful game for all of us with "Being a DIK".

The hardware that DPC uses will have cost a lot of money.
I assume that he will not only have a PC.
He will have bought the software as well and it might be even more expensive than the hardware.
He will have bought all the 3D models from Daz3d, Renderosity and Renderotica to own the licenses.
He will take courses to improve his work and the courses will not be free.

There might be some things I haven't written down here. But the above alone should show everyone that DPC has enormous expenses.
Oh yes, he also has to pay for his fixed costs and food.

too bad I'm not banned yet so I'm "here" too

Jill Royce was banned from this forum ? becouse i dont see him/her posting nothing here

All of the hardware should speed up release dates, not slow them down.

So... I got it right, JADE

 

[felicemastronzo]

I don't think it's the skin texture.
DPC uses a lot of real main textures. (Maya for example)
With Josy, I assume it's an artificially created skin texture.

With the wallpaper of Jade, I think that the illumination was not optimal. DPC itself once said that it is one of the hardest parts of creating renderable poses and scenes. And I agree with DPC on that.

I don't understand the talk about illumination

let's not talk about real photos, where sometimes the lighting can play tricks on you and at that point you have to redo or retouch it

but of artificial lighting that should enhance the image, if it does not, there is something wrong, then they are promotional images, not the 1264th render of the game that one may not notice the defect
