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.
I would also add, now Being a DIK have higher quality soundtrack, I will quote myself about the estimate:
If all licensed music are about 199$, that EP6 had 24 of them, that's a 4776$ bill. (EP5 was: 17/3383$)
Worth it as always, DPC have really nice picks. That EP6 Soundtrack was awesome, almost 70% licensed.
So that's about 8159$ of licensed music purchased for the game and EP7 will surely add an other +5000$.

I see people calling DPC greedy but seriously the amount of production and quality he put into the project is really high compared to some "ICSTOR" devs with one update per year (if lucky) and still have +7000 patrons.
You guys really need to realize who are the true milking greedy around there.

And I also share the opinions how alarming that project ending estimate is really far away, DPC seems to be unable to scale down and make each episodes bigger. There is also the case he refuse to hire a dedicated coder for all these mini-game and phone upgrade, we could also see an extra writer since that one is his weakness, as he said. These extra hands would free so much dev time; but I also understand the thrill to do that alone.

Bookmarked.

So, theoretically if Josy does move into the HOT's right. Who do you think she'll bunk with?
Lily would be best because I think they could be good friends and a force to be reckoned with, but I reckon she and Ashley will stick together because Lily might feel quite protective of her. So, I think Josy will probably be bunking with her HOT Mother, Arieth.

Yeah, removing $5,000. from $450,000. would leave DPC a mere pauper.

I haven't seen that many people calling him a greedy milker. I have seen people (including me) say he works hard but he pulls in a shit ton of money for that hard work. More than enough to pay for any special assets and licensed music.

Sage, of course.
Do you think she'll leave the room when MC comes in for a late night booty call with Sage?
So, I think Josy will probably be bunking with her HOT Mother, Arieth.
I wouldn't wish that fate on any one and in that position I would sleep in a tent in the backyard.

No, especially on the night that they invite Jill over for a slumber party.

In a one bed room? I don't think so. Nobody bunks with the President or Vice-President.

On that note, isn't it odd that the President has a smaller room than the Vice-President? :unsure:

Because he produces substantial content on a frequent basis, even when that frequency is 4-5 months apart.

The "milker" moniker is given to people who produce little content, particularly sexual content, and the updates are several months apart. Also, being generally non-communicative, sometimes dropping off the map for months without any word on what they're doing, is another trait of the so-called "milkers".

No, that would have been Maya's room, like her brother Derek.

If Josy does move into the HOT's it's only fitting that she moves in with her Mother Arieth. Though if that does turn out to be the case it's only fair she be notified that Arieth is a walking seafood buffet. Ya know, precautions and all.

He's making hundreds of thousands of dollars on this game. The soundtrack budget is more than most, but not outrageous.

Just because someone is REALLY greedy doesn't keep someone else from being greedy. Nobody is arguing that he doesn't make quality content - he's the best DEV out there IMO. BUT, the average patron is paying close to 50 bucks an episode. That's a bit much. I just think it's unfair to ask someone to pay that much for updates and two episodes a year, but it's not my money - people can do what they want.

Maybe that will be a consequence of saying you like a little bush when choosing Josy in Ep 5 on the M&J path; if she's clean shaven she'll stay clean, but if not, then it's crab city. :eek:
