Huh. Now that necklace looks pretty familiar... I'm assuming someone already mentioned this at some point, but damn! It'd be pretty interesting if Cathy's replacement was an old friend of MC's mom.

Interesting catch. She looks a bit older than I’d expect, but… We know MCs mom is young (18?) when she meets Neil, but we don’t know how old she is when she gives birth. Neil looks 40+ and was early 20’s when they meet, so it’s possible he and Lynette could have been together years before she dies.

Teacher: I was your father's wife's former friend.
MC: What does that make us?
Teacher: Absolutely nothing.
This is true, except what it could do is allow a 3rd party to reveal some home truths about Neil, Lynette, and her family.

It could also just be a shared Daz asset.

Called it.

As mentioned in my original post, Season Finales takes more time for any number of reasons. One of those reasons is you have to bridge old stuff to new stuff, handle technical debts etc.

Now STOP spreading October release estimates, and in general spreading naive optimistic estimates pretending they're realistic expectations.

Also, IF I'm wrong (which seems unlikely at this point), then we all win anyways.

Let me lay it out:
Optimistic
Expectations
Pessimistic
Expectation
Early ReleaseSatisfaction of being Right
:cool:
Positively Surprised
:D
Late ReleaseFrustration and Dejection
:mad:
Satisfaction of being Right
:cool:
a.k.a.
Manage Your Expectations!
The main event of this update is going to be, if I´m not in a wrong, the Halloween party. It makes all the sense that the developer aimed to release the update around Halloween, as other well known developers do when they create "Halloween special" updates of their games, "Xmas special", etc. It's a well-founded speculation. Now... Is going to be this update ready in Halloween? I don´t know. But it´s not "naive optimistic" to think that the release date could be around the last week of October.

It wouldn't be the first time; Neil and Derek look like they use the same model, so Derek looks more like Neil's son than MC does.
Yes, i think the biggest mistake he’s made is using the same male model so many times. A necklace might be subtle enough not to matter and it might reveal all sorts.

at which point the diary would be used to introduce a character who would then appear directly in the story to reveal some secret...

at which point what clue would the necklace be?

The first Rooster preview from Ep 7 was in late January, 3 months before release. That means we have to wait until January.

Not really but imagine if we have to wait that long.

That wink though...

Starting the Rooster Promotion, with Best Girl, is a good choice from DPC. I approve
Guess who's featured on this episode's first preview?

Not quite. It's just that this time he postponed the content of the rooster at the last moment. And during the development of the 7th episode, DPC did it in parallel.

Other games here use the same concept:
  • Fetish Locator
  • Love of Magic
  • Rebirth
There's nothing wrong with the concept. It simply means subsequent downloads aren't going to be excessively big. People are already complaining the download for this game is too big (~14 GB). Games like this one and College Kings (also currently ~14GB) would benefit from this approach.

The next episode of BaDIK is likely to be almost 18+GB for the whole game. Hopefully the episode sizes start to plateau eventually, but considering DPC intends for around 16 episodes (give or take), the game is gonna be close to 50 GB by the time it's done. I don't even know if Renpy could cope with that shit.

So, in the effort to reduce future download sizes, and to not break Renpy, splitting the new seasons into different "games" makes a lot of sense.

Right now, when a new episode comes out, people either download a patch (and have all sorts of issues with it) or they download the whole game again, and then copy their save game across.

With the new approach, you'll download the new (partial) season and import your save game. As the episodes for that season are released, the download will get bigger until the season is complete (at an arbitrary 3.5 GB per episode, that means 14GB per season). Once the season is complete and the new season starts, you'll import your game into the new season, and so on.

With the estimated 16 episodes, that only means having to import twice, it really isn't a big deal, and it avoids the game getting so big that it'll cause issues.

I'm all for it, the only complaint is it'll delay the release of this currently awaited episode a few more days, we'll live.
If you are right he is going to divide a game in two or more parts.
So if new part comes we can put choices manually right ?

If you are correct some the the characters story going to end very soon by the end of the game.

Well you kind of a giving me a hope. That in the end everyone can have ending they desire.

Yes, thanks for pointing that I was also checking that recurring data, the worst case scenario seems to be a mid November release, looking at the numbers and checklist with my last post, it's don't make sense DPC would need an other three months, we would get a better picture when we see if he decide to release like two or more teaser per weeks and/or simply less total.

Not necessarily. He might just have some default profiles with preset choices for new games started at Season 2.
No.. .
Please do that to me. I don't keep any save file.
Now comes real question does someone else save work or how about moded save.
If not i am served upside down. :WutFace:
i don't know about you man but preset choices don't cut deal with me.

If it's like some kind of Mass Effect style, than, the easiest solution is simply put your save files to the new game save folder.
Or at least one of your save file, like the end of each episode when it say " save Now " . You save there and carry that save file to the new game, and after season 3 over, you save again and carry that main save file to the new season etc etc etc.

Manually entering hundreds of choices we had?
I think there's a better way to do it
Normal way to do it (like Rebirth does it, for example) would be to make a save at the end of Episode 8 which will later be used to start Episode 9
