View attachment 5515510












The year comes to an end, as does your first semester at B&R. The choices you have made, the divergent road you wander... Will you look at your journey the same after you have peered beneath the surface?


Being a DIK: Season 4 will be the final season that concludes the story. It will be released and sold separately as DLC.

I'm not sure I see what the issue is anyway, the green around her boob? It's from the green light behind her, it's illuminating the back of her shoulder as well. Presumably the angle, or another light source is why her titty looks like that.

Just keep going, tc. Zoey first maybe :cool:
I think these music and songs in BaDIK are a major highlight of the game. These words and lyrics you post can bring the thoughts back to those specific sweet moments. It feels nice.

I was talking about the party planner mini game. MC is going to help Sage plan the party. In ep 11 the game switched so that Nick was replaced by MC. It can of course just be the next event and MC just pays attention to the DIK side of it, but it would be more interesting if it switched again. And since the party is so big it would be appropriate for the board to get bigger to reflect that.
Maybe it could be that the board is for just the most notable members of each frat. So perhaps you could see the likes of Dawe, Anthony, Caleb, and Chad along with MC, Derek, Rusty, and Tommy. Dawe and Anthony get on it because they're Pres and VP respectively, same for why Rusty and Tommy are on it, MC is on it because he's the protag and the party planner, Chad is on it because perhaps he helps facilitate this truce and he's a Jock with more notoriety in the story than the others, Caleb gets on it because he's probably the Jock with the 4th most notoriety and a major obstacle for both the MC and Chad, and Derek gets on it because he's Derek.

Another potential way to change it would be for the DIKs to combine into maggot pairs. That way there would be free slots, but how you played the previous rounds wouldn't lose meaning. Leon's score and Jamie's score would combine into Leon/Jamie score which would simply be the average of where they left at ep 11. Same for John Boy and Jacob, Rusty and Tommy, and Derek and MC.

If we take DPC's 60% as accurate, then that puts Episode 12 release at July/August depending on how you account for production having started before Episode 11's release, and for needing playtest time after 12 is content complete.

As for the NYE party, it seems likely to be a single party with most named characters attending. Given that, there are two major options - either it's an official college function, or it's a deliberate attempt by Sage, Chad, Tremolo, and possibly others to avoid the mess of the Christmas parties - either way, it's taking place on neutral ground, with a presumed cease-fire in place.

Tremolo also knows that there's some third party trying to cause trouble for and between the frats, so a joint party could be part of attempting to push back against that.

Only 60%. Its probably the 4K mode that takes so much time from development
I thought there would be more previews and maybe some teasers of lewd scenes, but the announcement mostly features neutral renders.
Oh well.
What is likely is that it is rendering in 4K (including animations, lol), which is the reason for such a long development period.
I don't see the point in this 4K at all, DPC's renders are pretty average and not as high quality as the renders of Ocean, for example.
Like, the yellow color won't be so noticeable in 4K?
4k or fullHD makes not much of an impact in development time. Its more an hardware issue... which is none cause DPC has peak hardware. Overall it MAYBE increases the development time by... öhm... 5%? Not even that... when i render stuff, which i dont do often... 4k or fullhd makes not really a difference, only for the hardware... cause it needs of course way more space.

What takes more time is the higher FPS for animations, the complexitiy and the overall lenght. Thats the bottleneck. And DPC was increasing those a lot over the years... more and more animations, more complex, and now every animation will be 60 FPS. Thats time consuming. Adding 4k is not.

He renders everything in 4k and downscaling it for the fullHD release... which is no issue at all.

The main issues for us will be the diskspace and of course the time we need to download everything.

And if 4k is only availavle on steam, i will not be able to get my hands on it except some hero will share it here. On steam there are no AVNs avaiable in my country.

Personally iam fine with fullHD on my 4k Monitor when it comes to VNs, but if i can get a higher resolution i will.


Regarding the "Trailer"... well if you want to call those 3 seconds that. The most improtant thing? Arieth shows a babybelly. So she is indeed pregnant, wouldnt be a surprise if she was not able to use a test the right way and got a false positive test... but here we are. Though... she has to be AT LEAST past the 3rd month already to show that much of a belly... more like 4th or more. Which means, she got pregnant at the start of the game or even before the MC came to the college. I wonder if it will ever be revealed who the actual father is. Or if DPC just drops it and Dawe has to deal with it either way.

Overall 60% done with the episode? So round about... 10% progress every 2 months. September is still possible... didnt thaught that. September was my most guessed date... but after the last two DEV logs i was pretty sure its not possible anymore... but if 60% are correct, even august is in the ballpark again.

and considered the overall amount of content ep12 will have, the DEV time didnt even increase compared to EP11... IF the number is correct. Yeah EP12 will take longer to release, but is bigger aswell. So IF 60% is correct... everything is kinda "fine".

But its a BIG FAT IF.

*edit* Oh... didnt shared my thoughts on the episode title... well, of course its a wink at Acting Lessons too... its a frequent question "will you go the AL path again?" and of course he does like to troll those people...

But overall... its the same words play like before... "calm before the snow" and now "smoke and fire"... yeah well... New Year... firecrackers... maybe some stuipid accident where somebody sets something on fire. And of course you can use those words for all the drama going on too. But most people who know AL assume thats a reference for that... which is just a troll move by DPC of course.

Tommy will have to suck it up and deal with as will all the DIKs and Jocks, but it's happening. And even if it's the HOTs organising it, so what? That would just add more to this being a joint party.


I'm insistent because it's what's going to happen. It's literally how this freeroam gets to 87 people and having DIKs, HOTs, Jocks, Preps, Nerds, dorm girls, and even faculty here is prime drama and what would be expected from a big season finale before the final season.


It's happening. Deal with it.


That's not a glass door, those are metallic panels on the door reflecting the room she's standing in :ROFLMAO:


Why do you keep going on about empty rooms and can't seem to grasp the simple concept that the angle of these shots is not showing the whole room? There's going to be more people in each of these rooms, you're just not seeing the whole room in these shots.


What sky? She's indoors :ROFLMAO: She's clearly inside one of the rooms of this big party.


Nope. One party, one place, multiple rooms. Your idea makes zero sense.


This is all complete nonsense what you're saying here, reading way too much into a single render and coming up with a crazy scenario out of nothing, but also the notion that the MC would be at separate parties depending on path.

That is absolutely not happening, and no, what happened in Ep 11 does not set any kind of precedent for that. In Ep 11 he was at the party then has the option to leave to be with the girl(s) he's in a relationship with. In Ep 12, this is the big season finale party where a lot of dramas will come to a head and he's not going anywhere because there's only one party.
Tommy doesn't have to simply accept anything. He never has in the game.

Whether you insist on it or not is completely irrelevant to me. It could happen, but it doesn't have to. You've become so fixated on it that you're blind to other possibilities. Take a few HOTs and all the ALPHAs from all the people you've listed here. Then send the others to a separate DIK New Year's Eve party, and you'll still have 87 people. You're forgetting one thing. The DIKs throw the best party, and none of them like Dawe. Just because you don't see something doesn't mean it can't happen.

I'm not going to accept it so easily because it's completely unrealistic. Again. The Jocks destroyed the DIK Mansion. Would you celebrate with someone who did that to you? Sage is even present in Episode 10 when the DIKs find out it was Caleb and Darius. Yes, they weren't ALPHAs at that point, but that's splitting hairs.

This is obvious, so you don't have any powers of observation. In Chad's preview, you can see the basketball court, but not the "New Year" sign that you see in Sage's preview. Also, in Sage's preview, you can see balloons to the left and right of the door, but not in Chad's. Pay attention when comparing previews.

She's looking at the sky through a window. Look into Sage's eyes. You can see that she's watching the fireworks.

No. Two parties, two locations, multiple rooms. Again. DPC already created two parties at the same time in Episode 11. One big party and one small party.

My idea makes more sense than your idiotic one, so that the ALPHAs and DIKs can celebrate together. Imagine that, so that Sage wants to force the DIKs to do it. They simply say, "So Sage can do her own thing," and the DIKs have their own party. Which party do you think will be better attended? The ALPHAs' or the DIKs'? Sage would be shooting herself in the foot. So the DIKs will just party with the dorm girls, the Pink Rose girls, the nerds, the preps, and a few other people. Sage doesn't have the leverage to force the DIKs to do anything.

The idea that the MC can be at different parties depending on the storyline isn't mine. DPC already showed it in Episode 11, and in Episode 12, the MC will either be at the fighting tournament or playing guitar at the college Christmas party. The storylines are already diverging. Episode 11 is therefore a precedent because DPC does it repeatedly in Episode 12. It's either the fighting tournament or the college Christmas party.

There will definitely be drama because the ALPHAs, especially Dawe, will feel betrayed. They set up a large room for the party, and only a handful of people show up because most went to the DIK party. Most of the jocks head off to crash the DIK party, which is taking place off-campus. If nothing dramatic happens, then I don't know what to say.

Episode 12 isn't the end of the game, just the season :HideThePain:

Expect more haikus for years to come :ROFLMAO:
I ain't surprised, the soap opera must go on.
Cliffhanger ending for episode 12 MC discovers after playing 17 minigames and solving 22 puzzles, that his dad is the eldritch entity yogthu'l the builder, who made his mother conceive him under the guise of a human to raise his hybrid vassal to inhabit one day as the supreme fratboy of college. type shit

Is there a reason people keep saying this is the Steam trailer? I've seen it like 5 different times. You guys know what a trailer is, right?

It's not that, it's this, and it's for Season 3 as a whole.
View attachment 5517233
My guess is that they only saw the post and didn't go and look at the Steam/GOG posts. Hell, even I missed the trailer when I wanted to watch it on GOG, so I went to Steam and there it was because the app takes forever to notice whether I disabled video autoplay or not :KEK:

Yeah, not enough of episode 12 and feels almost as if too many spoilers for the rest. I’m actually glad I played this when I did. :)
I guess all in all, that's a... good thing? He went crazy with previews for the last Steam announcement, so some restraint is appreciated...

...

...

... no fuck that, I want another preview dump :BootyTime:

Oh maybe, maybe. I know the GOG version is the SFW version with only one unique shot.
