Do you know why I like the way of working in DPC? Because in each update the 5 most important girls in the game Maya/Josy/Sage/Isabella/Jill have guaranteed continuations for their route and DPC does not issue a separate update for each of them
Yeah, I really like this too(y). There is nothing worse than you waiting months for an update and your girls are not get anything, eve if they are supposed to be Main Girls. Like City of broken dreamers. You wait 4 month and there is no Kate, and you wait again and still no Kate. :LOL:.

And then they try to compare DPC with others :ROFLMAO:

Who needs Kate when you have Shanlon.
Shanlon. Now there's a lady who appreciates a good butt fucking. Too bad she is a blonde, though.
Nice variety of characters in that game, but nothing can compare to the number and quality of ladies in BaDIK. It's wild to think how many well-rounded ( :sneaky: ) characters DPC had to invent from thin air to populate this game. Well done sir.

That's probably my favourite thing about this game, the variety in the girls and the amount of content they get.

So many of these games force you into a girlfriend, and so often she is one of the worse girls and her face is everywhere.

What do you mean here want to have? It will serve to the development process of the poly relationship history. The MC must also accept that Josy and Maya also need their private time.:unsure:
I thinks it's depend of the people I don't mind if my girlfriend have sex with another woman, Only if her heart belongs to me But here it is different since they are girlfriends in the first place

It's pretty clear that DPC tracks what is happening around here and knows that a lot of people who come to his page come from here.

At this point is safe to assume that he has stopped releasing numbers because he knows that some of the guys around here have been doing charts and through that predicting the status of the update.
Why would he do that? The reason any developer gives an update is so you get a feel for how the development is tracking. You're suggesting he stopped giving updates because it allowed people to see how the development was tracking?

Doesn't make sense.

But I do feel his updates lack a sense of enthusiasm. I have this dread feeling that DPC is starting to lose momentum. It's completely unsubstantiated, but I feel it nonetheless. Hopefully Ep8 proves how seriously off the mark I am here.

Is it just me or does the game open VERY slowly since Episode 7? On both my gaming PC and my state of the art laptop it take almost 5 minutes to get to the Main Menu.
It takes 40 seconds for my game to load through to the main menu for the first time after a reboot. If I were to shut the game down and reload it later (without rebooting), it takes about 10 seconds.

It still takes longer than other smaller Renpy games to load, but 5 minutes is pretty severe. Maybe you've got other shit running on your laptop that's causing drama, like all the branded bloatware that comes on laptops these days.

That's an entrance exam, not 6 years worth of exams and thesis'. You can't buy a degree. Try again.
If you're talking about Stephen Burke's degree, he has been awarded the title of "Honorary Professor".

How he earned this degree is unknown, it could have been due to his contribution in the field of business (I'm guessing it's a business degree), but it's likely more to do with his donations to the college.

That's all totally legitimate and above board, but if he gets a degree (honorary as it may be) by giving regular, substantial donations, then he's effectively bought his degree.

The honorary degree, however, does not state he is qualified in that field, it exists to "honor" him for his contribution.

Jade belittles him for getting his title the easy way, as opposed to her who earned her title (also professor).

I started viewing his status updates in Feb which was around 3 months after Ep6 release. Since I didn't follow his status updates before that, did he always give a proper status update regularly, after a new episode was released?

I am just guessing but maybe he doesn't have much info to give right now cuz he is just focusing on making the new content. Since he mentions that it is a new environment he is working on and unexpectedly it's talking time for rendering the animations, maybe he himself doesn't have the idea?

Maybe he is trying something new with animations? for eg, The Madame and Lily body animations were totally a new concept.

It took 5 months for ep7 and the last 2-3 months were full of Info about how much he had done for ep7. Maybe he will give tons of Info in upcoming months and I hope he does

Damn, I just lost my 2 hours of progress after forgetting to save at the end of episode 7. Sucks :(
You can replay it quickly, by pressing the TAB key once after each decision and it will quickly skim through to the next decision. Depending on your PC, it’d probably take 5 minutes to replay it.

since chapter 5 I would say the updates have been weekly, before that I can't say but I think it was the same.
for chapter 8 they are rather short and vague, seeming more like a due act than real information

this overview of the characters was often used in chapter 7, even on Lana in the flashback to create suspense about Lynette's return...o_O:ROFLMAO:

probably DPC tends to get bored and that's why lately he tries to introduce new things in every chapter (minigames, fast navigation in free roams, mobile phone, 2d renderings etc...)

you have to play the whole free-roam, you can only skip the dialogues, but you have to go through all the stages.

With free roam you just use the bottom right navigator to jump quickly between rooms (if you're talking episode 6 or 7 free roam) and you can still zip through the dialogue with the TAB key.

For other free roams (like the library and the Prep's mansion) you still have to navigate your way around, but once again, you can speed up the dialogue.

The good thing is, only dialogue you have already seen is sped up, if you make a different choice and new dialogue comes up, as long as you haven't got "unseen text" highlighted in the options, it won't skip through anything you haven't seen before.

It's easy enough to check, just do a thread search for "status update" by N7. There will probably be a few gaps where someone else posted the update, but should be good enough to get a sense of the frequency.
