So? The view doesn't work like that, Quinn's back is to the silhouette, she can't see him, if she turns around no one knows.

Wtf, is that right nipple poking through?

It could be September or October but the important thing here is that we already reached a point where we only see one update per year

Great

If the episodes are insanely long I don't care, after all DPC estimated it would take 16 episodes to finish the game. But if he has the brilliant idea of increasing the amount of episodes to 20, then just one update per year is really too absurd - completely unfeasible.

 

[Cabin Fever]

I held off as long as I could on August, but the two-week holiday shifts the optimistic date to September

Holiday or not, any belief that it would be before September were always hopeless fantasy.

 

[RohMadden]

But if he has the brilliant idea of increasing the amount of episodes to 20

The game will have 17 episodes for now, according to what he said if he didn't change his mind, that in a nutshell are 7 more years of development

But hey, if people are happy with that, what can we do? I canceled my Patreon subscription a long time ago when I saw that I had already spent a lot of money with this guy and I didn't see any progress in the latest updates.

August meant eight full months of development... I remember optimism done differently.

When I say updating the game once a year when the DPC target is 16-20 episodes is absurd, I don't just mean the wait that players have to endure. DPC works on this game alone, has anyone stopped to think that in the next 10 years there might be some tragedy with him? He doesn't have a team, no one could continue his work as he always refused to ask for help. There are scenarios that the DPC is clearly not considering. I don't know about you guys, but I would be very angry if a game was abandoned because the developer who developed the game alone (for even more profit) ended up passing away for whatever reason and now nobody can continue his work.

Making assumptions about these Quinn renders, I'll mention some possibilities that came to mind:

1 - Quinn isn't looking at the guy, but it could be that she knows him, is with him, and from the look in her eyes, she's on the lookout, watching to see if anyone shows up, if the guy is doing something wrong and someone appears, she will warn him.
(5% Chance)

2 - Quinn knows the guy, and is waiting for him, maybe to pick something, or deliver something.
(5% Chance)

3 - Quinn is just waiting for the Uber she called, and she didn't see or care about the guy behind her.
(90% Chance)

 

[Kpyna]

Good analysis.
I suspect that the man behind Quinn may be Rusty.

Thus, we have another new clue that may lead to various reinterpretations regarding the Chad blackmail, Cathy Cluck, and perhaps the destruction of the DIK Mansion.

Have we seen Rusty w/o DIKs jacket at least once? Besides the period when DIKs was not existed and/or flashbacks.

House shape is different, unfortunately. While some of assets is in place, like the lamp above the plate with the number or mailbox under it. Door shape is different, as well as windows to the left and right from door. Number plate is black with golden digits, while in Quinn scene it's grey or white with black digits. Plates shape is different too.

Very nice, but not all of us here spend almost 3 thousand dollars financing and helping this guy so that it takes longer and longer to give us the episodes.

My point of view and yours will not be on the same frequency

Well, if that happens it won't be his problem, so he really has no reason to care about something like that.

But I understand your sentiment, I've read Bersek.
I've read so many novels that were abandoned or had rushed endings that I'm used to it, I don't like it, but I got used to it.

I know for sure that 2 well known F95 devs passed away some time ago: Palmer and Chatterbox (Lexi). Quite a few devs just threw in the towel and left the scene because they simply burnt out.

No one should expect that BaDIK is ever going to be completed.

I think she was waiting for this guy to come out. Meanwhile chatting with MC. Then he comes out and locking the door to go with her.

I hoped we agreed on dalli_x to handle this if DPC went off the distance

He never said (at least in the recent Q/A) that it would be 20 eps, the last statement was 15-16 and 4 seasons, if I'm not confusing anything.
If he will be able to keep the current dev time for future episodes (I still hope for 7-8 months, rather than 9+), then the game could be completed in 4 years after EP10 release. I mentioning 7 months, bc he upgraded his rigs at the middle of EP10 dev cycle, so we haven't got a full potential benefits from this upgrade. Knowing the fact he will begin EP11 development with 4090 on hands makes me to hope that we may see a 7 months dev cycle or even a 6 months for a couple of episodes at least. 4 years is an estimate for stable 8-month cycle for 6 TODO episodes. 6*8/12. Optimistic hopes as well as 15 eps instead of 16 gives us around a 3.5 years estimate and pessimistic ones is around 4.5 years for 16 eps overall.

p.s. I bet he will upgrade one more time in future, 5090 or 6090, whatever. It would be usefull to handle 10k renders, 500 animations and porn-like lewd scenes with 1-2 minutes video loops

No, I would not be angry. The only money I've spent in something related to the game was when I became DPC's patron for only one month a few years back. Disappointed, yes, I like the game a lot and want to see it completed some day in the not extremely distant future.

Also, I do not agree with you that the main reason behind DPC's working alone decision is monetary. The topic has also been discussed here quite recently.

And lastly, nobody knows the future. While it is true that the only requirement for fatality to hit is to be alive, the most normal thing to happen is that DPC will continue working on the game until it is completed. I read somewhere that he is forty-something. There is no logical reason to think otherwise.

If anything, he is the one looking at Quinn (being only a silhouette we do not know whether his back is turned or not, in theory he should be walking out that door), not the other way around, unless there is a later rendering.

Although I have not been here for too long, I had already read someone else (DIKAssman. His account is deleted, BTW) mentioning the possibility that Quinn was in fact Priscilla. Well, he was sure of that, as he put it. And his reasoning was not bad in my book. I don't know if the idea was entirely his or not, though.

As for the guy in the back of that render, personally I'm not even sure there is any hidden meaning in that render. Are we even sure that it is him Quinn is glancing at? From her position and angle, I don't think she can even see anything of the guy in the picture. And she is certainly not a chameleon, is she? I am not saying that it is meaningless either. I am just not sure of its significance.

What exactly do you consider as a suspicious here?

I brightened render in photoshop and decreased contrast a bit, after that house # near the door becomes visible & distinguishable. I don't have an access to unpacked badik resources at the moment, so if you up to, you could search through S1-S2 renders which contains houses & their numbers. If I remember right we seen Bella's house number as well as her house from different perspectives several times.

I think you should look for Bella's house, for Tybalt presentation, while he took pictures in front of houses in Bella's block and for some others too.

As for me, I see a 21892, even if I'm not so sure with 3 digits in the middle, but 2***2 are 100% there.

Regarding place, houses shapes, etc, If it's not a DAZ assets reuse (50/50), then I could suppose that it's happening near DIKs mansion, but from another perspective and side of view.

Here is the pic, which I made in times when Maya's preview was released to prove that she came to DIKs mansion.

Spoiler: View from DIKs mansion entrance on the street

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Compare it with redlined house, this house windows number, it's shape and placing, a chimney from the fireplace (?), and the road made of gray stone or something similar.

But I'm not sure, that it's the same place or even another perspective or view on this place, since house on the right with chimney have 3 windows, but on pic with DIKs mansion window to the right of chimney are a double one, since on Quinn pic it's narrow and ordinary.

Just a guess. And version with Bella house or Bella's block at least, sounds more plausible. Bc if Quinn was near the DIKs mansion she would probably come in to see MC instead to talking with him by phone, while standing literally near to him.

So? The view doesn't work like that, Quinn's back is to the silhouette, she can't see him, if she turns around no one knows.

What's suspicious is Quinn's sudden change in demeanour. She's enjoying texting the mc, her typical banter with him, she's regularly grinning through the exchange, and then, the last shot, she's deadly serious, turning her head to her right, and glancing her eyes further to the right. That's a clear indication that her thoughts are back to something that transpired behind her. An exchange took place prior to messaging the mc. One that is weighing on her thoughts, good or bad. DPC included this final frame for a reason...

It looks fucking suspicious to me!

...I don't know about you guys, but I would be very angry if a game was abandoned because the developer who developed the game alone (for even more profit) ended up passing away for whatever reason and now nobody can continue his work.

I'm hoping you're alone in that thought. If a dude died before completing a game I enjoyed, I'd feel momentarily sad for the dude and family/friends, and I'd move on with my life. He's theoretically fucking dead and your focus is on not being able to finish a fucking porn game? I dunno dude, kind fits into a certain personality type...

If Dalli continued with the work of the DPC it would be proof that God has abandoned us.

He never said (at least in the recent Q/A) that it would be 20 eps, the last statement was 15-16 and 4 seasons, if I'm not confusing anything.

Semantics.16 or 20 is the same thing where I come from.

I read somewhere that he is forty-something. There is no logical reason to think otherwise.

You're completely right, we have no reason to worry... after all, people only die of old age, right?

You can always just stop playing it? Ten episodes in and you people still haven't gotten over this.

What type? The realistic type? Some people think they'll live forever, that's the only explanation... If he dies I'll be sad, of course. But death is part of life. What do you want my reaction to be? Did he die and become a saint?

 

[ProxyGist]

Releasing a game in the same month with Starfield is a strange idea. Although that's probably what he's counting on. In any case, the end of August or beginning of September is unlikely to be that tedious: Baldur's Gate and Starfield are coming out.
So I don't understand your indignation. In the last month of summer and early fall, many anticipated games come out.
