If ep 12 comes in two parts each of them is going to take a year and thus a total of two rather than one and half. Smaller chunks will end up taking more time. Which one do you want faster? Your next fix or the actual complete game? That's what those other devs do. They give you small updates faster, but in total their games take several years and still have less content than one BADIK episode.
How would he split it up anyway,

by route? Ultimately someone's getting fucked over as there preferred girls still months away?

By in game days? People would just fucking moan, no lewd content in this update, update brought no progression, etc etc

BaDik is not really a game that allows it's chapters to be broken down further.

Gonna be the 4 millionth person to notice this, but this is the first time reading previously read dialogue since my first playthrough

Ooh the foreshadowing View attachment 4430931
Cheap feminism, for a characterization then really never used. Because other than being a lesbian and taking the equality class, Maya has never expressed this feminism of hers

Yeah, BADIK is that kind of story. Technically there are a lot of plot threads, but they are woven into a complicated pattern. They need to progress together.

In a sandbox kind of game the characters' stories are only loosely connected so you can just update one at a time.

And a game with fewer characters can be updated faster because what sets the pace isn't the total content, but individual content. Simpler stories can be updated in smaller chunks.

The episode can be divided by freeroam. The freeroam is always in the middle of the game. This was the case in ep8 and ep10. It logically divides the game into two parts.
So if for example ep12 is so big that DPC can't make it in a year, he can split it by freeroam.
But I don't think that's going to happen anyway. He'll made poll and a lot of people will vote to release the whole episode.

It's kind of the point that Maya is an actual feminist while Wendy, Dany etc. are just a different type of wrong. I suppose you could have Maya biting Dany's head off when she is being a cunt to Jamie, but the relationship needs to progress a bit further. At this time Maya isn't close enough to the other DIKs to intervene like that. If she gets into a fight over MC or Derek she has a personal bias and Dany (or whoever) can just ignore her.

Except that it doesn't, episode 10 had like 4 freeroams
We did the dik mansion twice,
We did the bbq
We did myas house

Episode 9 had 3 of them, and that bloody started with one.

Splitting them by Free Roam you'd get the "there was no content in this update" complaint.

There's simply no way to split it in a way thats beneficial and pleases all

It is one thing to nom be a feminazi, but Maya does not even have with mc any conversation that makes us perceive her as a feminist. In the end it only serves to justify her taking Jade's class, and that's it.

So, 7th March release then, optimistically speaking. guess I better get all my saves up to date for Ep 10.

Actually, maybe you guys can help me, I'm half way through my Quinn and Maya (solo) playthroughs, but I have other potentials that I'm not convinced are required. yet.

Obviously I have the six main LI paths (Josy / Maya solo paths, and Quinn. yes Quinn is a main LI, she was just 'hidden'. you only got her by actively pursuing her, while the others kind of fall into your lap.)

Bella / Jill love triangle - Haven't played through ep10 is there unique content? is it necessary?

Sarah + Mel - I've gone maybe a third of the way through Ep10, but it doesn't seem necessary? does anything happen at the campsite with them?

Lily / Nicole / Nora - I have 'others' that I've branched off for each of them, but debating to go back and do full plays for them, or Lily at least. Maybe Nora?

Rio / Zoe - again, branched off an 'others' for Rio, but not sure either of them need their own yet.

Camilla / Jade / Cathy - Unnecessary I believe. unlikely they will have their own path. maybe Jade following the divorce?

Vixens - I only did this because I was expecting some kind of lewd scene the morning after the party, but fuck all, nothing! I think this is a dead path.

What are your thoughts? Anyone disagree ( :ROFLMAO: ) with the above? Does anyone see a path I've missed?


P.S. on a separate topic, I think 'yoga girl' is going to be the 'cheat' girl. she's going to be available to fuck on every single path, and woe betide anyone who gets their dipstick wet in her.

I also bet on 14 February. I think DPC is trying to create an illusion of overdelivering.
Everyone will expecting a release on February 21st or 28th. But he will release it on the 14th.

He could have done it earlier if he wanted, but of course he doesn’t want to.
Next week he will start working on the next episode, the same thing he did at the end of the previous development cycle.
Except DPC has never shown any care about any illusion of overdelivering. His M.O. has always been "I'll deliver however much I feel like, when it's ready, regardless of timeline." The only saving grace is that he has always feel like delivering more quantity than what is realistically necessary, so quantity has never been an issue.

So what would you have her do?
Do you know how a characterization works? Here it doesn't work just by saying that a character is something, but by making it clear by how they behave. Otherwise it's just "cosmetic." Normally if you talk to a girl several times you can tell.

I would love that as my bday is in that week, but I'm not betting on it.

Quinn isn't a main, but there are at least two levels of sides. Camila, Mona, Sarah, Mel, Sandy and Rose have scenes but no real relationship. Quinn, Riona, Lily, Nicole and Jade definitely have a relationship. A potential third group would be those who seem likely to have a relationship, but have very little progress. Nora is a late entry, but practically guaranteed to get more content. Cathy has history but was away for a long time. Heather has been off limits until very recently. And of course there is Zoey.

I wanna know something guys does DrPinkCake develop everything by himself or does he have a team. Because if he i solely by himself i don‘t get why he wouldn‘t get the much needed help. It‘s not like he isn‘t making enough money for it
