Just made an new playthrough, its been a while since i played the game with full attention... strikes me everytime that you find some "new" things that slipped through before.

Early on in episode 2 Jamie is dancing with Sally here... Jamies Girlfriend (Dany) was almost pregnant... Sally behaved kinda strange in the last episodes, could be a pretty good bet that she might be the pregnant girl, and Jamie might be the one?

Well I think it's a November release based on this. He's averaging a little over 8 animations completed a week and a little under 123 statics. Based on 1306 statics to render that's 11 weeks, October 14th plus beta time. 121 animations will essentially take a scratch under 15 weeks, plus beta time we're talking 11th November plus two weeks beta time. So a release window of October 28th to November 25th.

A few ways it could arrive sooner. 1. DPC is overestimating how much contect he has left. 2. He could cut back on some scenes. 3. He is misrepresenting his progress. (I think this would be dumb and isn't likely).

This is the renders progress table. Finally passed episode fives static render level, but in fairness to 5 it also two weeks earlier in the development cycle.

The animation table looks like this. Animations have now surpassed 5 and 6 but not by much and episode 5 and 6 already released.

Just to illustrate the forcasted release window, here are the tables with the current averages upto and including his production targets plus two weeks beta testing.

Even though we know he's produced a higher average in previous releases, he's showed no evidcene of a significant uptick in this whole cycle.

Perhaps he could start beta testing while the last couple of dozen animations render and use placeholders but that doesn't really feel like his style.

Hold up, didn't he say he already workked on the big threesome scene? If so, then that "big threesome scene" is separate from this new threesome scene that he is working on for M&J (and they certainly need one by ep. 9). So who is the other threesome with?

Although I would love another Cammy/Riona, we had one already and I think it will be someone new. Same with Quinn/Sage. I doubt it is going to be Zoey. She would have MC before anyone else. Besides, she wasn't interested in sex during entire San Diego, so I really doubt she is suddenly going to whore it up with a bunch of strangers at B&R either. (And if Zoey/Madame, I riot :mad: ). So who else? More strippers? No, again that would be retreading old ground. I think the devil's threesome is on the menu with either JB/Elena...or maybe a lesser chance with Tommy/Heather.

Could it be Bella/Jill? :PogChamp:
No, it would be nice, but Jill still has her jealousy points to work on and DPC isn't so kind as to give fans such a bounty. I just hope it isn't with a couple of randos like that one with fish lips and meth mouth in toilet stall at the dorm party.
I checked with DPC and it's Magnar/Sally. You can rest now

I don't think it's schizo to choose an assortment of DIK and Chick affinity options.

Here are all the affinity oriented choices, and the highlighted are my typical options:
  • Fight Troy or storm out
  • Accept or reject Quinn's offer
  • Leave Steve or Talk to him
  • Fight Jocks or run off
  • Progress things with Jade or stop her
  • Party without limits at Strip club or don't
  • Smoke Weed with Quinn or don't
  • Fight Caleb or Walk away
  • Punch Tybalt or Walk away
  • Fight Tommy or don't fight
  • Use Fake ID or Stay Home
  • Go to Strip club or volunteer for Old folks home
  • Evict the Alphas from the HOTs party or ignore them
  • Study the answers in toilet or flush them (or just walk away)
  • Get revenge on the nerds or calm Derek down
Those options only just scrape it into the DIK permanent affinity, as 11 choices either way lock you in.

If someone wanted to do the above but avoid fighting and choose to hang with the Madame, it would result in a neutral mc:
  • Fight Troy or storm out
  • Accept or reject Quinn's offer
  • Leave Steve or Talk to him
  • Fight Jocks or run off
  • Progress things with Jade or stop her
  • Party without limits at Strip club or don't
  • Smoke Weed with Quinn or don't
  • Fight Caleb or Walk away
  • Punch Tybalt or Walk away
  • Fight Tommy or don't fight
  • Use Fake ID or Stay Home
  • Go to Strip club or volunteer for Old folks home
  • Evict the Alphas from the HOTs party or ignore them
  • Study the answers in toilet or flush them (or just walk away)
  • Get revenge on the nerds or calm Derek down
This would be the "Lover not a Fighter" path.



Not sure if DPC is going down the MMF path, but it could be Elena & John boy.

But it's most likely a couple of the vixens.
I tried replaying it to get a save without pursuing Jade, but that really messed up the choices i would normally make, so that i could still unlock scenes in between which require a specific affinity.

DIK isn't a direct synonym for asshole; the MC will be more blunt, hotheaded and profane, but he's still fundamentally the kid Neil raised. Meanwhile CHICKs are calmer and more measured, but you'll still become a de facto leader of the DIKs.

Besides, you don't necessarily need to go all in on DIK/CHICK. Permanent DIK Affinity requires making 11 Major DIK decisions by the end of Chapter 8. That means you can make up to 4 CHICK decisions safely (of vice versa). So if you don't want the MC to be the sort of man who would solicit prostitution or sleep with a professor, you can just pick the CHICK options at those crises. Likewise if you want your CHICK MC not to back down from a fight, you can play him that way (though that will use up most of your indulgences).

Now we don't know how Affinity will be handled in Season 3+, so it's possible you'll eventually be railroaded into choices you don't like. But given DPC added Neutral options to Major Decisions in Episode 8, I think that's unlikely. I think your individual decision are more likely to cause problems than your Affinity.



Eh, I'd say the odds are good DPC is either trolling or the eventual line will be an extremely minor variation of a more common one.

Still, if you need to track it down... we know the game tracks which lines you've seen so it can flag lines that are safe to skip. Is there an easy way to compare a list of flagged lines to a list of all lines and thus create a list of unseen lines?
Thanks for such an informative response. Wasn't sure what the differences were :)

I can understand everything, but how did you keep yourself from beating Tybalt? Oh that scene! I can press the repeat button endlessly.:LOL:

And getting revenge on the nerds with Derek is one of the funniest scenes in the game.

well i saw some dik/chick & Minigame discussions and i'd like to weigh in on that.
The minigame will likely be what we did with the mansion, but then plan the halloween event, get an income for that, costs planning (advertising and paying Quinn so the jocks dont find out and stuff like that)

as for the neutral/dik/chick discussion. i see it makes hardly any difference, Jade still walks away angry, unless you break up with her in class after she confided in you, telling her you'll keep it a secret wich was in my eyes the most neutral way and it should calm her down knowing you are in distress and might not be open to anything else. but even then, in the end you still end up saying, fuck fuck fuck, or isnt that about jade? sure sage has a brother, but he is crying his heart out becouse jill dumped him, so he aint much of a threat anymore, or is this about Sage's dad, we hardly spoke to, or does the MC gathered enough wisdom to know that sage's father is a perv looking for young victims and her mom is having an angry discussion with him (saw an preview picture where sage looked angry earlyer in this forum).
any case what worries me the most is indeed, what are we walking into?

as for the other discussion, wich involved the release date, and what yall expect it to be, many seem to think that it might be close to halloween itself, or hoping for it. but earlyer statements made by others gave me the expression that DPC sees no reason whatsoever to make an halloween release, in fact they say he is totaly against it, while i also think it might be him hoping to surprice us by indeed making it an halloween release, the statements so far suggest that he wont.

well these are my thoughts, questions and info about this all. i hope someone can shed some light on the question part.
and i hope i didnt made to many peaps cry becouse of the info part.

Greetings Riggnarock :D

Looking at a full year since the release of Episode 8 (with a mediocre - at best - interlude in between). This game is going to take another 4 years to finish at the least - 8 years of production in total. Why does he always feel the need to add more in each episode? The Halloween party has been hinted at for almost 2 years now. Man is really building his retirement fund at this point. We might see the completion of MILFY City before this game is done :LOL:

Because that's how games with branching storylines work. They grow in size as development progresses. In the case of DPC, the game grows not only in size, but also in quality. Of course, some things in the game are not needed, for example Madame

So remove the things that are not needed and it becomes more manageable from a release standpoint. The madame adds nothing. Interlude was disappointing. He spent significant time reworking the phone system in between releases. Quite a few mini-games have added little. Recently, he spent plenty of time working on a way to create revenue on another platform.

The amount of waste in this game is adding up. DPC's greatest quality is his storytelling, but he continues to add in other areas. Not great for the audience.

Why would you care if it takes more time to create top content or not ?

You got nothing else going in life ?

expect more, so far we got 9 episodes about the 1st year, and we even havent gotten 3 months on school yet (asuming school in america starts in august as well (like it does here in holland). okey maybe 4 more years in and hell have a company with many workers working for him, giving us a monthly release by that time, instaid of having 1 or 2 computers doing all da rendering :D

as for interlude, well it needed to happen one way or da other, she was the one that got away, and now she returned, i expected nothing less when i bought season 1 on steam. so yeah some sort of introduction was needed. sure the part about the picture ending up on our phone was out of place, i for one asumed that she herself sended me that pic, but apparantly it was her friend leaking that picture as a payback for thinking she took her boyfriend (wich in my playthrough didnt happen)

but yeah if Zoey came back into my life and i didnt get any explaination as to what happened all those months, the i'd be the one asking DPC for an story as to what happened.

Greetings Riggnarock.

1. I like everything about the game, with a few exceptions
2. The interlude was good. God, I wish Episode 9 would come out and people would stop whining about the Interlude.
3. The phone has become much better and more interesting, this is one of the coolest features in the game. Can't complain.
4. Mini-games are good. Another reason to love the game for additional activities. There is something to do in it, unlike 90% of AVN.
5. Dude, this is his life and he decides how to dispose of it. How the DPC spends its time is its own business. If he begins to spend more time with his wife, will you also be outraged? "How dare he distract himself with his family, I need a pirated free game right now!"
6. BaDIK is well balanced with content, story, and additional features like phone, Rooster and mini-games bring variety to the game world and bring it to life. In terms of game design, this game is almost perfect. If for the sake of high quality you need to wait more time, then this is not a problem.


You'll will piss off Madame's fans
