I'm not saying that he's catering to his crowd, but he's playing along with the current judging by the reactions. Like for example if in the last update he went with the overdone handjob>boobjob>blowjob>pussy licking>sex scheme for Jill and spanned the whole damn thing for like 3 more updates, the reaction would have been catastrophic. He judged well by what people wanted and pulled the trigger on it and that's why the whole scene was unexpected and came as a surprise.
Drama theories:
1. Jill is adopted, because of the shame that her sister bring to her family
2. Her sister is actually MC's mother
3. Isabella & Neill were couple back in the days... and they loved each other deeply
4. The relationship between Bella & Neill probably is the reasons behind the death of MC's mother and the missing husband of Bella.
5. Neill is not the biological father of MC, his partner is, MC's mother slept with both of them during the renovation
Dude like all of these have been mentioned and discussed over and over again before.
1. Sounds really implausible. We've already had flashbacks of Jill, so I'm just going to say no.
2. Is impossible due to Patreon reasons.
3. Is a theory of mine, but it hasn't been hinted or backed up by anything before, so until MC brings Bella back home with him this one is a no.
4. Just no.
5. This one could be true, but not with the Lynette part.

6. Burke know about the whole situation between Neill, Bella & MC's mother, that's why he has all this power in B&R, because he keeps the Royce secret safe.
Now this is just ridiculous from the beginning till it's end... d3philer ^ this might be a prime example why I'm reluctant to be active... this is waste of space / time / assets / whatnot and even if the majority isn't this extreme but surely wondering into that direction...
I find it challenging to believe, after she spent so many episodes being a naive moron. Goblins have limited intelligence and should never be used as a player race.
Can't we just stop and be mesmerized about how beautiful Princess Sage is?
Talk trash about DnG all you want, I'm just happy to see this princess.
DnG could also be a foreshadowing. As spoken here before, when you save Sage and leave everyone else behind, you get killed by Quinn.
Not enough Sage stans in this thread btw, or are they just not vocal?
I'm currently tracking development for BaDIK, Pale Carnations, City of Broken Dreamers, Leap of Faith, and The Unbroken (I'm following Where the Heart Is, too, but they don't give render counts very often).
Unfortunately, it's impossible to make a proper comparison because, as OFT implied, there are no clear rules for what constitutes an 'animation.' A 1 second looping blowjob counts the same as a 4 second sweeping panorama of a city or a 9 second clip of a girl inserting a butt plug. That's especially important since DPC seems to be adding lots of small animations these days, which may pad his numbers unfairly. Drifty reports animation progress for Leap of Faith as "frames of animation," which would be a lot more robust, but no one else does that and trying to reverse engineer a frame count is more work than I've been willing to do. Even the static render count is a bit dodgy since Pale Carnations uses Honey Select for its character models.
Still, if we want a *VERY* rough comparison, we can give it a try. I think the best option is to take the total static and animation counts for the most recently released update, then normalize that data per development day. It's a very blunt instrument, but it's the easiest way to keep the data in the same ballpark and has the added advantage that other games could be incorporated relatively easily. So here goes:
First off, great comparison, although being the number cruncher you are, I can't believe you didn't back-calculate the number of Leap of Faith animations based on previous average animation length and estimated frame rate.
Second, my question was actually about the number of scenes. As I mentioned, I've seen a lot of comparisons regarding the number of animations and renders and the amount of gameplay time between BaDIK and other games. What I haven't seen is a comparison of the number of scenes.
On a similar note to what you said about there being no clear rules for what constitutes an "animation" (even though you mistakenly attributed it to me), it can also be said about what constitutes a "scene." I suppose it would help to define "scene" before I ask such a question.
If I were so bold as to set some basic ground rules, I would say a move from one distinct location to another is the primary definition of a scene change as it applies to AVNs, just as it does to film. For the purpose of this question, I'll mostly disregard (with certain exceptions) other types of film scene changes, such as during a group scene when some characters leave and others stay and a different dialogue begins, or when the focus changes from one group to another within the same location.
With this in mind, I'll give a rough total number of scenes in BaDIK Episode 8 with which to compare to other games. Remember, I'm mainly (but not solely) going by a change in location. Moving from one room to an adjacent room counts as a change in location.
Episode 8 Scenes by Category in no particular order:
I'm sure you've either spotted some scenes that you don't think are actual "scenes," or you think some were unjustifiably overlooked. Yes, I know I left out things such as phone conversations during free roams, the beach ball mini-game, and the MC trying to figure out how to use DPC's Official BaDIK Mod for future episodes....uhhh....I mean that black box on his desk. (A fella can dream, right?)
No matter how you want to tweak the list, I think the point is made that there is a crazy amount of individual scenes built into a single episode.
NOW, can anyone tell me how the number of scenes in Episode 8 compares to the number of scenes in an update of any other comparable games/AVNs?
More like get killed by Quinn's restaurant. This shit is still hanging there like a Checkhov's gun
Sage's gonna think you betrayed her and went around her back if you used it
