I didn't even really like the Punk Rock Flu song, I'm sure I'm not alone in that? It hurts my ears. Now the song when Quinn comes and sees you after getting robbed (episode 6 I think)... that is a great tune.

There is like dozens of similar bands around the world. I understand that someone may find this loss horrific but I think DPC can replace the music quite easily.

in what sense?
in chapter 8, you may or may not tell Sage about Troy.
if you don't tell him, DPC rewards you with a sex scene with Sage (a "well awake" blowjob)

is there a way to keep the song in our 'domestic' versions?You must be registered to see the links
I rarely have to post bad news, but today I must, so let's get it out of the way.
I've been asked to remove all songs from The Friday Prophets from the game.
When I downloaded their songs from Soundcloud, they were uploaded with the CC BY-SA 3.0 license, making them free to use commercially, but this usage wasn't what they intended.
I reached out to them four years ago about using their songs, and I got my reply this week asking me not to use their music and to remove anything I had added since.
It's sad for all of us, for me, the game, and fans, since the songs have grown to become iconic during that time. No replacement to Punk Rock Flu will give the same nostalgic feeling when you start the game or a new episode, at least not for many more future episodes and years to come.
I will respect their copyright and remove all their songs from Seasons 1/2, and 3.
Please, I ask you not to direct any negativity toward them because of this decision.
I truly believed I used their songs in good faith because of the licenses, and it's unfortunate for everyone that it came to this.
I tried my best to replace the songs with similar tunes to preserve the college feeling of the game. We'll see what happens in the future regarding the title song.
Patch v0.8.3 is live
I had to work with preparing new builds for Steam/GOG/Patreon this week, which isn't all that bad since it gave me the chance to include a bunch of other bug fixes alongside this.
This impacted the game development by a few days, but now I don't have to worry about patching Season 1/2 when it's time to release episode 9.
All work with the patches is now done, and I can go back to focusing on episode 9 again.
My team of testers and Discord staff have been awesome in helping out with verifying the bugs and builds, and they saved me a tremendous amount of time by helping out.
The new patches are live on Steam, GOG, and Patreon now.
If you want the latest bug fixes for the Patreon version, version 0.8.3 is availableYou must be registered to see the links.
You can patch your current Patreon v0.8.0/v0.8.1/v0.8.2 version if you'd like to receive all bug fixes. It is a smaller 415 MB patch for episodes 1-8.
If you can't patch your game, the full download (v0.8.3) is also availableYou must be registered to see the links.
There's no new content in v0.8.3, and I didn't post the patch as a big release post as I don't want to confuse anyone into thinking that episode 9 is being released with this patch.
You can find the changelog in the release posts.
Similar changes for Season 3 (Interlude) will come together with the upcoming v0.9.0 release, including episode 9.
Development news
Onto the development news.
Aside from work mentioned above with the patches, I started the week working on static renders.
I also wrote five more scenes for the episode, one per main girl.
I've started planning and working on the new main menu art for Season 3. I want the main menu to look as good as possible for the duration of Season 3. I have made nine new art pieces for the main menu and have 10-15 more to make. Next week's status update will show you a preview of the main menu.
I will continue my work next week to complete this task and then continue with static renders.
PCs have been rendering animations, and there has been no downtime regarding rendering this week.
Thanks for your support and understanding during this unusual time.
We'll get through this!
Have a nice weekend

I think he's asking about ep2 choice to either help Sage to find Chad's hoe or decline it.
Honestly that's the only thing I've no answer to - I simply always agreed to help

OK, if that's the question, MC can still tell Sage about Troy, in the end she knows that Sage fears that Chad is cheating on her anyway.I think he's asking about ep2 choice to either help Sage to find Chad's hoe or decline it.
Honestly that's the only thing I've no answer to - I simply always agreed to help
they change dialogues then according to different situations (if you're in a relationship with Sage etc)

Depends.is there a way to keep the song in our 'domestic' versions?
@Meushi , I summon you, holder of binary knowledge!!
In the short term, for season 1-2 just don't install the 0.8.3 patch. Then you'll still have the OG music (but miss out on new bug-fixes).
In the longer term, as crabs says it should be possible to mod the old music back in.
The main issue is such a mod might be targeted for music copyright infringement, if it redistributes the OG music which is no longer licensed.
Edit: An alternative approach might be to build a modded 0.8.3 patch, which adds the fixes for season 1-2 but doesn't remove The Friday Prophets tracks. Would avoid the redistributing copyrighted music issue. That wouldn't help with season 3 & 4 though.

Sadly. The tracks were good, iconic for BaDIK. Why didn't he buy a new license for them?You must be registered to see the links

We didn't get an exact number of completed animations/renders this week, but we do know that the computers are processing animations without delay this week while the DPC has been busy with other things with the music and the patch. I don't worry about static renders, they are about 15% left to complete, while animations are a bottleneck.

These dudes don't even have +2k followers on various social media after +8 years of existence, completely unprofessional with reply 4 years later and don't even know what licences they used. DPC can afford buying cash a commercial licence, they still dumb about it.
I'm speechless.

If they remained at 2,000 followers, they obviously gained nothing from this partnership with DPC.
Perhaps they simply weren't interested in licensing them commercially, or were but asked for too much.

It's not so that DPC can replace that music. For many long-time fans of the game, a new playthrough can be horrifying because it can feel different. Music is a direct connection to a person's emotions.
Normally, one would have to start a shitstorm against "The Friday Prophets". They have declared their music as free for commercial use. According to my understanding, the songs remain commercially usable even after a change of the usage condition, because they were and were already used that way. Only songs that are released after changing the terms of use are then excluded from commercial use.
I can't blame DPC for removing these songs from the game, because it could lead to a legal confrontation, which could not only bring financial losses, but also cost time, which DPC then lacks for the further development of the game.
My guess. The Friday Prophets may not be as successful. I just googled what I can find about this band. It's not very much. Maybe they just want a piece of the DPC pie.
