DPC has a outline just without details. I get idea's come to you while working that's how its done but there should at least be script even if it just a rough one it helps keep things clean

Maya is difficult to learn and the annual license costs as much as a top PC, well, this is typical for Autodesk products. Plus, if there are difficulties with the transfer, this program is not the best for creating AVN games and fan art, it's more for professional studios.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure, of his patreon actually would have suffered some loss he would be faster. He went all butthurt, during episode 9, even created a special post about the long development time when he went very arrogant and said, " even if I lose my patreons I would finish this game " blah blah, I would have loved to test that,
He need to fall out around 6-7000 patreon, then you would see he suddenly not need 9-11 month for an episode
but since that's not gonna happen in the foreseeable future, ...
it's just an another Friday

its not about romance
, its about lust. For Sage it was a bucket list point that she was reluctantly talked into doing and for Quinn it was a game to prove how cool she is, if it was about how attracted they are to each other, Quinn, Sage and DIK MC should be fire together, instead it was a dud, either because of the stupid costumes, or the cringe banter resulting from the circumstances I just pointed, it had no right not being the best threesome in the game.

Nothing bad with joking in positive spirit but after every updates there's always some hatred here.
Like people read those updates and see DPC like this:
I still don't get why there's so much hatred towards the guy from that particular perspective.
I get what he's done or said in the past and why people like his product more than him. But hatred because people are impatient, like how many people here DPC owes anything? And even if you do, you can always vote with your wallet, the thing tha allows him to make such huge episodes and alos development times.
I didn't defend his ability for planning, because you people proved its lacking. I think he shouldn't make such promises without being sure of them. But:
- As I said it's how creative work is done. You don't have to be any creative person, you can just jerk off to video games, but you nobody has to be ignorant. Even reading up about it will show that the biggest game dev studios can't help themselves either.
- I think it's not that bad of a thing. He broke his promise but it wasn't about quality or any particular feature, was just about the size of the episode which also meant the time of development. But that was kinda assumed on our part. Most emotions of people around are because of simple impatience. Which I get it, but I believe that if you want something done right, let it cook.
Hi everyone, would anyone be able to help me with the 3 keys to escape haunted house? I've found one in the fridge. Have clicked the green bottle several times, nogo. Haven't been able to find the one in cage, clicked on the cage several times as well, nogo. Have been hopelessly stuck in the haunted house for 2 days now.
Edit - Figured it out! We need to click on the notice, then the things move.

Did you check the official walkthrough, maybe it got some information there, I would help but I not yet gotten to that point, started a new playthrough and still in the early seasons.
Yes, already went through it. People who followed it and found all the keys must be geniuses.

Thanks for the incredible work, as always. Only now, looking at the speed of the animations and what is left, I'm not sure about October, it seems to me more like November. Although we can't be sure of anything. Learning DPC is like learning quantum mechanics.

Since I don't know shit about hardware performance and whatnot, any guess about the lame animation ratio with such powerful GPU?

That's a valid point. There are certain games where I've begun skipping updates due to their lackluster nature—updates that often comprise disconnected scenes lacking a coherent storyline or any relevant plot point—, and when we compare the yearly content output of most developers to the substantial content updates within a BaDIK release, the difference is minimal, if not in favor of BaDIK. Each BaDIK episode unfolds as a cinematic experience or a lengthy installment of a high-quality TV show. While the wait for these episodes can indeed be frustrating, BaDIK's content volume doesn't appear to be overshadowed by that of other developers; in fact, DPC seems to deliver more yearly content than his counterparts.

What if DPC was in pain the last 9 months? What if he is hurt because he released such an iconic Halloween special, something that will forever be as his Halloween tribute, on a chilly December morning?
And now my guy is just stalling because he's faster is gonna let you choose between burning Maya or Josy to death than allow to play Thanksgiving chilly episode during Halloween hype of October. Nah nah!

dude needs a project manager or something this shit is getting out of hand. why does he need over 5000 renders for one update exactly? did he ever question this or is he just looking at data itself as some sort of milestone? the game took off like mad with half those numbersYou must be registered to see the links
Grab a cup of something and take a break. A large chunk of text without a tldr incoming.
First off... Boom! The 5000 render milestone was reached this week. Now episode 10 has more renders than episode 9 - the previously biggest episode in the game. And because I reached this milestone, I had to try and estimate how much is left in terms of development.
I have been working on art and coding all week. I started by completing two smaller scenes and one free-roam event. The better part of the week was spent on creating the last free-roam event of the episode. Since it's a new environment, there was environmental design to carry out first, and also preparation of the characters for it.
The dialogue for this free-roam event was written months ago, so it's a matter of creating the art and coding the events and buttons. It's a labor-intensive yet easy free-roam event to create, so I should be able to maintain a good speed without any speed bumps.
After the recent weeks of playing and polishing the game, my flowchart has been updated, and the following checklist is what the current state is like.
As I develop these episodes, I always ask you to take numbers with a grain of salt because the scene/render/animation count will change until the last few weeks of development. This is why it's always hard for me to give accurate estimates.
As you will notice below, the scene count is larger than I reported earlier because of the addition of some scenes that were needed to make some branches feel whole.
Checklist Episode 10
This is the current checklist of what's left to do before beta testing can begin.
Scenes
Three lewd scenes - One is written. Neither scene has any art.
Three free-roam events - One is almost complete, another has a few scenes left, and I'm ~70% through the last one. All writing is done. All need a different degree of testing and additional phone content.
Three normal scenes - One is written, one has partial writing, and one is planned. Neither scene has any art.
Art
Based on the scenes above, I estimate I must pose an additional ~600 static renders and 70-100 animations.
Current static render count: 4892 produced. 220 posed renders in the render queue. 5112 renders total.
Current animation count: 237 produced. 28 posed animations in the render queue. 265 animations total.
Code
Pack Quest - In the planning phase.
Vault - Ensure that numbers are placed and work as intended.
Rewards/2D art - 70% completed. The rest will be placed in free-roam events, story scenes, and the Vault. Testing and possibly correction of code are needed.
Gallery - The lewd gallery has been coded but can't be tested until all lewd scenes have been made. Some art remains for miniature images.
Phone content - There's some work left with the Rooster and Chat apps. Also, the new phone gallery will get additional planned content. The music app needs updated code to include new songs.
Bios - I always leave bios for the last part of the development.
Episode end screen and report - In the planning phase.
Credits - I haven't added new patrons to the credit section yet.
Sound
SFX work has been done as I play-tested parts of the episode; I estimate it's ~80-90% done.
For music, it's the same as with SFX. Most of the scenes that are complete have songs in place. 25 new songs have been added so far.
Testing
I haven't played the episode from start to finish yet because of gaps in the episode and missing content near the end.
My personal tests and polishing remain. How long they take usually depends on how much I have played the episode during development and whether new features are involved.
Episode 10 is packed with new things for the game, meaning testing might take some extra time to ensure high quality.
My thoughts on the checklist.
The animations will be the most demanding part, but cannot be skipped or trimmed as the scenes are essential for the episode.
The static render estimation can change in either direction but is likely lower than stated.
The code tasks are all fast tasks to complete. I estimate that I could get all of them done within 1-2 days of work, but they depend on the art content I need to produce first.
The remaining work on SFX and Music won't take too long, 1-2 days here as well.
Testing is another demanding part. I have lots of new features to test this time around. And we are talking about the five main branches on top of some very ambitious branching within them.
As always, there will be waiting time for animations near the end of the development, and this is when I plan to perform my personal tests and polishing.
Hopefully, I have covered all aspects of the checklist, but I may have missed something minor - all big tasks are accounted for.
My plan going forward.
I plan to work with art until I need to write the last scenes. Animations will be posed intermittently.
I plan to be done with my testing as the final animation frames are produced, thus minimizing the time between the PCs being idle and the start of beta testing/proofreading. As usual, at least two weeks will be allotted for private beta testing and proofreading before the episode can be released on Patreon.
Next up for me is to continue with art on the free-roam I'm working on and hopefully be able to move on to other scenes later next week.
Have a nice weekend, and thanks for reading

In short, DPC works alone and creates very large updates. Usually larger than the previous episode.
