I really hope me being bored as hell these last months dont screw me over. I downloaded the gallery mod and I am scared shitless it will break my future saves, I didnt knew stuff like that was problematic and didnt back up any of them. As much as I like BADIK, doing another 10 hour playthrough is not on my to do list.
Yeah you probably are screwed, i play with the mod too and every release broke my saves (i dunno what dpc has against mods cuz with every release he does modders life harder) but i wait until the mod is out and then i play it and its fine... last update if i remeber right i waited over a week for scrappy to release the new mod...

So much delusion going on about it possibly being released in October.

Again look at the development length per episode:

EpisodeDevelopment Length
Episode 1Unknown
Episode 287 days
Episode 3105 days
Episode 4148 days
Episode 5141 days
Episode 6169 days
Episode 7162 days
Episode 8154 days and counting
(as of Sep 23rd)

While development time has increased over time, the most marked difference was during the Season Finale. As Ep.8 also is a season finale, by looking at only this data we should expect a November/December release.
  • Episode 2/3 took about 100 days each on average.
  • Episode 4 (Season Finale) took roughly +50 days more, or +50%.
  • Episode 5/6/7 took about 160 days each on average.
  • Episode 8 estimates:
    • Estimate A: 160+50=210 days (mid-November)
    • Estimate B: 160*1.5=240 days (mid-December)

Now add to this that there is so many things not even started based on the weekly updates (DPC still working on setting up the last renders) so we still got several weeks to go before feature-complete. Add 2 weeks of QA. Is it even remotely feasible this will be a late-October release? A remote possibility maybe, but overly optimistic in the extreme.

TL;DR:
  • Don't expect a release before mid-November.
  • An early/mid-December release would not be too unlikely either.
  • Late December release probably would indicate unexpected problems, and would be the first point where describing it as Delayed would be appropriate.
DPC crunching and going hard to meet mid-November release makes the most sense to me. Since that gives him a month and change to prepare the steam release, get it approved by steam, and make it for the Christmas Sale.

Game shouldn't break as long as you delete the entire game every new update (make sure to put your current saves on a folder, of course), download it again with new update, copy your saves and download the updated mod.

If you just download the update, game will recognize that you have modded saves and will fuck you up :KEK:

As mentioned in my original reply. Delusions. Fueled by wishful thinking.

Crunching is terrible for quality, and DPC has shown a clear preference for quality over speed.

...What the-

If you are going to download the mod again, then just wait for 2-3 days for the mod to be updated and update it....Who the hell would delete the whole modded game and download it again, just to mod it again?! o_O

fappybeard is this your second account or did you ask him to troll here? :KEK:

I remember reading comments in the Scrappy mod thread that said that the game breaks if you update the game and you have the mod as well, that you need to download the whole game from start.

I don't know if that's a lie but I don't want to risk it :KEK:

It's been a while. Has DPC given any date for the release yet, or is probably going to be around november? Where's the guy with the very high IQ, that was the last time I was in this thread Lol

Plenty of people, when a full compressed release is smaller than the update.
Not to be rude, but that's just stupid. One would still wait for a day or two for the new mod update. Why waste your time, deleting the whole game and downloading it again?

Yes, I read those too But it didn't happen with me, maybe because I read the instructions carefully :whistle:

You need to download the entire game again, you cannot use the update only for a modded game, something to do with the mod's extra files. Modding the game is always done on a "clean/fresh" game if you want to avoid as many headaches as possible. A clean "install" would let you use your saves too if you are that impatient for the mod.

copy game to another folder, use the mod on that one. create a completely different save, don't touch the original game folder.

I'm talking about a new update (i.e. chapter) to the game. I assumed that was what everyone was talking about, since a new chapter would necessitate a new version of the mod.

Well that's true, it makes it a little easier (y)

Gonna grab my saves, DL the game again (why there's not a freaking torrent file in here!?!?), copy my saves back and see if I still have the gallery unlocked. If not, sigh... I pray I have some saves from at least episode 5 around. I might actually do it again since I kinda of fucked a bit fixing the mansion anyway. Its just so many hours just to get to that point.

EDIT: Found some saves I have here, not sure if its from episode 5 or 6 tho. In any case, its at least something if I have to re-do some stuff

As today is Friday, DPC will soon send out his weekly update. It's possible that today he might drop at least a ballpark completion date for the episode, though I suspect we have one more week before that happens. If DPC also includes render and animation numbers in this week's status update, then the number crunchers will plug that data in and see if the previous estimate of November 5 gets adjusted.
