But the thing is that he didn't lose patrons. After Ep.8, DPC reached a plateau at an average of 13k patrons, and now after a record-breaking wait for Ep.10, he has broken the record, reaching 19k patrons.
To be fair look at any TV show or movie all the good shit happens near the end the rest is just useless filler.
Yeah but what is filler really? We going from A to B there got to be a journey other wise moves and story driven shows would only be 15 to 30 minutes and shows would what be just 2 or 3 eps at the most
yeah, this kind of not really a good example to be comparable
To me filler content is stuff like mini games or useless sex scenes with ugly old cows like madam rose.
Knowing how to handle that is what differentiates a good series from a bad one. And unfortunately DPC is not good at that.
Pretty much no one likes Madam Rose but she isn't slowing things down and the mini games aren't slowing down things what is slowing things down is DPC wanting to make everything bigger and bigger and animations of Zoey running thought the woods or the preps taking a walk plus his own milking scams he try to shove down our throats
Ironically, without them the game wouldn't exist.
It always makes me laugh when people make fun of patrons do they not realise no patrons no game?
, yes she does, those 3 scenes alone was probably at least a month. Making the Renders, the animations, the script, and everything for just those 3 useless scene.
Well what is the real numbers because the jump he gets from ep 10 or 9 doesn't really count because most likely are just buying the update then leaving until the next one which is pretty smart on there part, it the base number that really keeping this going
Between steam and "occasional" patreons, I think its existence would be assured anyway
Three scene I've never seen thankfully yes Madame is a waste of time but I'm not going to blame a girl I don't even see
He went to the " Full time Game developer " mode, when he reached the 3500 patreon target mark, that was his target, when he decided, if he reach that goal he quit his job.
. and reassurance that he can, wait for it .... Milk it
A typical day at F95. Nothing new
This happens with every game with every update drop; not everyone can afford the luxury of a monthly fee. Just an observation that this release was a record breaking one.
This is guesswork. We don’t know how much development costs him, thousands of assets from DAZ, each costs the same as an AAA game, bills for electricity, hardware, + he lives from this money, not having another job.
The story was moving faster? At the end of EP5 we are barely passed through 1(!!) week in game universe. Even if the events was intense it was just a Hell week stuff and first week in college. Which is NOTHING in terms of planned year for the whole story.
The Patreon system is cool and allow to support an endeavor with little if no guarantee. Problem is when patrons detract it from his meaning (updating a game) to a render/report project.
Let's not get make DPC a martyr though.
A project involving only one person cannot be so heavy and so in need of funds for survival.... Then certainly the more one earns, the happier one isA typical day at F95. Nothing new

Maybe now yes, the dude is a multimillionaire and is buying himself another Koenigsegg, but even to go on Steam and release there Season 1 he needed patrons - this is how the indie industry works in most. No Patreon - no game, that's simple. Especially such heavy project like BaDIK.
Yeah, but every episode actually moved forward that event , and its actually started in episode 3 , the whole hell week arc. stil more than episode 9. Hell, more thing happend in episode 5, than in episode 9 .
Of course there are really slow moments but are you telling me the story is moving faster now?
