ename144 get in here
give us some facts you Tri-Beta President.
Awwww, but I wanted to go to Tosche Station to play the new Pale Carnations update! :cry:

Honestly, Holy Bacchus already broke this down pretty well. But if you want the pretty pictures, here's a pair of charts. The first shows the number of days each Episode (other than Episode 1) has spent in production; for this purpose, I'm estimating Episode 7 launches on April 16.

The second chart plots the projected release date of current and future episodes based on four possible estimates. First, each episode from 8 onward is released 133 days after the last (the current average production time, including the Episode 7 estimate). The second assumes Episodes 8+ are released every 168 days (the current longest production time, for Episode 6). The third assumes the delay between Episodes 7 and 8 will start at 133 days, but increase by 15% each episode. Finally, just to play against character, I created a wildly optimistic projection where Episode 8 releases 104 days after Episode 7 (the second shortest production time to date), and the delay decreases by 15% each episode thereafter.

As you can see, even with the rosiest-colored glasses available to modern science, it will take a long time to hit Episode 20.

I'm worried you may be right. Our thread megamind, ename144, previously warned us we may dip into May. Six months!?! Arrgghhhh

Well, the May release seems improbable after last week's update. That said...

can somebody please tell me what's the potential update release date? I tried to read through the posts to find it myself, but there are some potential spoilers (regarding what could happen in the story) in the posts that I don't wanna see.
Here's my latest estimate. I didn't mention it in the post, but it is worth acknowledging my unstated assumption is that DPC times the art assets so that the coding is done at roughly the same time as the artwork is done.

I think that's a very robust assumption in general, but with DPC's new rendering rig, it's possible he's miscalculated and will have to scramble to finish the actual game before he runs out of renders. Still, I think he has a decent guess how much longer the coding will take, and if it was a long time I doubt he would have chopped down his static render totals.

Let see if I understand correctly -
1. you always use this mod -
https://f95zone.to/threads/being-a-dik-walkthrough-cheat-mod-v0-6-1-scrappy.29402/#post-1844498
2. arriving at certain point of the game you saved it and decided to replay from an earlier point
3. the game crashes no matter which save you are using

If that's the case - try to delete <game_folder>/game/save/persistent
as well as Users/<profile>/AppData/Roaming/RenPy/<BeingaDIK...>/persistent

and try again from the latest save which was working.

However if the old save was made with different or no mod (maybe older version of the mod) - the only way to fix this is if you attach the old mod for reference.
Yup I always use that mod. But I started playing with the latest update. I don't replay from an earlier point, but continued from the point that I left off last time. The game crashes for certain saves but not all (So sometimes I have to replay and start off from an earlier save when the latest one crashes). How do I delete the save (" <game_folder>/game/save/persistent" this part)? Would that mean I have to restart the game?

Thank you so much!!

Computer died.. pissed off that I lost a lot of pictures and things.. Would it be bad if my next reaction was happy? I'm going to play this game thru a couple of times from the beginning.. Not rushing but relaxing and going the Dik.. and the Chik routes. Good times ahead.

I'll figure out a way to get the lost pictures and things from my brothers.. lol

I just realized that he is going to play for the first time and my sig has a big spoiler :ROFLMAO:
I don't think most people pay much attention to other people's signatures. I had to watch yours to see what you were worried about.

That said, that two main female characters make out in a porn game, not a big spoiler. :sneaky:

Casmyr, I couldn't resist, I deleted a few posts and now I'm back to 1337 status. So from now on, I'll just post all my replies in this single post. That will confuse people won't it! :D

Just keep on deleting your earliest posts to maintain the 1337. No one reads those anymore anyways. :WeSmart:

How could I have missed that.:eek:
Is it possible that Zoey knows Josy and Tommy? :unsure:

Tommy's been using his fake ID for a while, so he could be the big brother who gets the booze.

If I consider that Josy had a thing with Zoey and Zoey had a thing with MC without Josy and MC knowing about it, a drama bomb will explode. (DPC Style):unsure:

Wait so the relationship score points you get on the way don't matter much? If you don't farm the points with Maya but you farm the points with Josy, you guys still end up in a three-way relationship?
Yeah, pretty much. So far RP just gives you slight variations on scenes, like in Ep 3 if your RP is high enough with Maya she'll let the MC rub her pussy when she's on top of him, and in Ep 5 Josy will give the MC an ass job if the RP is high enough.

Other than that, RP hasn't played much of a big role so far in determining relationships or anything like that as it seems that's all down to the Affinity and various flags from certain events. It's possible that RP could come into play in bigger way later, but right now it doesn't do very much.

How could I have missed that.:eek:

Considering the contentious relationship between Tommy and Josy, I doubt he'd buy her and her friends alcohol.

Good point Dalli
but we need some Tri-Betas for facts

Unless at that time their relationship was not yet so difficult.

Apart from that, I have a hunch that the difficulty between Josy and Tommy arose from Tommy's misbehaviour towards Maya.

The difficulties between Josy and Monica could also stem from the fact that Monica doesn't believe Josy when it comes to her little boy Tommy.
Tommy's just an ass and that's clearly something Josy doesn't like. It doesn't have to relate to his treatment of anyone in particular, it's more than likely just Tommy's general behaviour and demeanour. There's probably also some resentment-by-association in there too, what with Tommy being Monica's son and Josy may see Monica as a bit of a "homewrecker", therefore Josy doesn't like Tommy because of Monica.

by how he got pissed at the bar, and how Quinn changed her tune when Josy said she's his step-sister... something tells me Tommy is one of those that use eye-patches.

Just farm those relationship points whenever you have a chance;):cool:(y). It could be really annoying if a lewd scene is only 50% percent completed because you didn't have enough rp point.:mad:
