Did Cammy ever smoke in the previous episodes? I don’t think so. Maybe she will in the next episode. Time for my MC to get high again, hehe...

$75 is just to have access to those custom renders, but you have to be top-tier (i.e. $100) to order them.DPC on Discord>
Yesterday at 12:05 PM
Patron custom renders (Isabella & MC, Maya/Arieth/MC, Sage/Riona/Sarah, Jill/Isabella/MC)You must be registered to see the linksFor April, 2020.
join now for $75 per month
That means that one guy paying $100 a month decided to request a render with Maya and Arieth
.Fortunately, the other 3 seem men of culture.
The game will have 12 updates. It will be finished by early 2022.

I wasn't for real asking, I was poking fun at the people that ask for when the next release is daily, but I appreciate the answer though. Thanks

Has this been confirmed? Last word was that DPC didn't have a fixed number yet and that it could be anywhere from 10 to 20 episodes.

It's not that I gave you a serious answer. I was talking out of my ass, no worries
But hopefully I'm right there. 20 updates... 2025... some people are saying those things seriously and it freaks me out.
No, but I'd find it reasonable. Anything other than that would be ridiculously long.

Yeah, there seems to be a bit of a consensus about this. Obviously it's entirely up to DPC and if they feel like they have enough in the tank, both in terms of the story and their own motivation, to do 20 episodes, then all power to them because that will be one hell of a commitment.

DPC stated on discord before that he'll extend BaDIK if he feels it to be necessary so there's a good chance it will be more than 12 episodes.It's not that I gave you a serious answer. I was talking out of my ass, no worries

Well, if that's the case I hope his release schedule will be shortened to 2 months per update.
I don't care how good the game is (and you all know how much I love BaDIK) but 5 or 6 years to fully develop an H-game working full-time would seem absolutely unbearable to me and possibly to many other fans. You can only catch people's interest for so long.
2024, 2025... Damn. I'm not even sure DPC would be able to keep his own commitment and interest in the game all that time.
EDIT: On second thought, I don't buy his statement. Sorry but I don't. I'm sure DPC laid out the structure of the game before he even started working on it. He wrote the story and knows exactly how many updates it will take for him to wrap it up. Maybe instead of 12 he will end up requiring 13? That's possible. But I don't believe for one second that he doesn't know whether he will be needing 12 or 20 updates. This is DPC we are talking about, not Icstor.

you don't need luck, you need a deus ex machina the same caliber as "Grease" (does anyone here even remember grease?)

He has a lot of content planned for this game I'm sure so it isn't that surprising to hear.

Personally, I don't mind if BaDIK goes on forever. The MC is a freshman at the moment and finishing college takes 3-4 years. Right now we're in season 2 and MC has yet to finish his first year of college. I believe large story arcs should come to a conclusion at some point but it doesn't have to be the end of the game. As long as the story stays fresh, new girls get introduced, new plots emerge, and Derek stays alive then I'm down to being a DIK forever.

That's what I think too makes the most sense a year or two give or take is what I said but try explaining that to a brick wall
Don't want it to be too much and risk a burnout besides I think this thread will have died out by then kind already has, although spin-offs could also be a possibility with various side characters.

Given how big this game is becoming, update times are far more likely to get longer than shorter. Even if you don't take the rendering time into account, there's still the posing, lighting, coding, writing, animating, etc, and that probably takes the longest amount of time.
Obviously we're all on the player side of the game and don't know what DPC's plans might be, but I personally find it hard to see how this game goes to 20 episodes. The first 4 episodes have already pretty much wrapped up the Maya/Josy arc, the other main girls can also apparently have their paths shut, and Quinn's plans seem like they're about to come to fruition. That last one is also what seems to be the main underlying story of this game.
It might seem like the story is all about getting girls and joining the DIKs, but that's what movies often feel like too and then you find out there's other stuff going on that the lead character will get swept up in and the story is really about that whilst also trying to get the girl. It feels to me like this is the case, and so how that could stretch to 20 episodes when it's moving at such a swift pace already is what's hard to see right now. We've had a good first act/season and it feels like it could easily be wrapped up in 3 acts/seasons.

Having their paths shut doesn't mean their arc is over just the relationship side of it there is going to be much more of those characters stories to play out just yet. we have barely scratched the surface of Maya situation with her father.

You see here is the thing ,despite each update becoming larger than the previous in terms of the raw content, the release windows have remained fairly similar.
Initial release Feb 2019
Second release May 2019
Third release August 2019
Fourth release January 2020
While looking at the fourth release we should also take into account the 3 different paths he designed, each with it's own respective content, him quiting his job during the development time which required him to take care of certain obligations before leaving his workplace which ofc took away time from the development of the game and finally the steam release that he was working for behind the scene. Taking all of those things together we can see why there was a delay in the fourth update
As for now, he is working on this full time and also being backed by 5k patrons which ofc would provide him the monetary means of getting better equipment to develop the game which reduces the time required for developing each update but also allows him the leeway to add even more content with each new update while keeping the same release window as before. And that factor is likely to grow even further as he will surely keep getting more patrons as new updates get released
Yeah, I agree that having one arc come to completion isn't anywhere close to the end of content for a character. Really, it's just that one problem/area of drama has come to resolution, with a whole slate of problems still existing. And that's not counting the possibility of new problems or areas of drama coming up.
I initially made the mistake of thinking that the end of Season 1 felt like the game was heading towards a conclusion, but I think my instinct was based on assuming the scope of this game was like a movie. Most of the major problems/areas of drama are established relatively early, characters generally have a single arc, and the story ends once those are resolved.
But I think this game is more like a TV series. There are a lot more fans in the fire, and I certainly want to see what a relationship with Josy and Maya looks like. Them getting together is really only the beginning. I have a lot of friends who have poly relationships, and I'm eager to see more representation in stories.

Of course they'll still be part of the story, I didn't mean that they wouldn't be if their paths are closed in the first 4 episodes. It was just to say that, to me, being able to close all 5 paths at the potential 1/5th point of the story seems a little odd. I know AL could lock you out of paths too, but that happened at different points throughout, not the beginning. Obviously most people won't close all paths at this stage, and I suppose there might be some who don't mind if they don't romantically end up with any girl at the end, but for as good as this game is I just feel that having 20 episodes when you can cut off all romantic paths after the first 4 is a bit excessive.
12 feels like the right amount as it also fits into a nice 3 act format, although I wouldn't be opposed to having another 4 or 8 episodes as a spin-off/epilogue to the main story. Maybe call it, "Being a DIK: The Wacky Misadventures of Derek".
They have been fairly consistent and I hope it stays this way, I was just cautioning people not to expect it to get any shorter and to be prepared for possible long waits, like the 5 month gap between Eps 3 & 4. I know that was because of the branching paths, but if other branches are added or the existing ones are expanded, it could lead to longer times and people should be prepared for that.
