Until it in development, I'm gonna stay and play, but without previous engagement level - not possible for me to hanging all the time like usually and not burnout with this long schedules. Plus, thanks to BaDIK i found a really dope people who has became irl friends (no kidding), and maybe find more, so it still can be useful.
Can't agree that game is dying - his Patreon numbers are at the same 13k plateau, means that game is still gathering the new audience to replace the people who left. And this is most important, game is still popular, bring him money.
As for the thread here, new people comes every year, which proves my word. Can't say this place is dead.
But I can agree with you, hard to keep engaged for long.

Also, saying the game is slowing down is a pretty misleading statement. Slowing yes, but to use this thread as a metric, there are almost 360K posts and who knows how many have been removed. A year ago it was less than 300K. Now it's not always on topic, but there are quite a few active games on this site that have been in development for well over a year and their threads haven't gotten past 10K total.

BADIK slowing down? Yes, it's now running triple marathons in the time it takes others to put their running shoes on. It used to do quadruple.

There is less interest because the latest update released 3 months ago, so there is little left to talk about. There will be a massive spike again about 1-2 months before the next update is expected. Also don't forget that after the next update this season will also be released on Steam, which will increase the amount of interest even more.

There are a lot of new releases from game studios planned for 2026. DPC got lucky with the release of Season 2 on Steam, which was during the gaming lull, and it became famous by hitting the Steam charts. That's not going to happen now.
I also remember the release of episodes 8 and 9. The hype was incredible.
The hype gets less and less with each episode.

The number of patrons means next to nothing. How many patrons does Summer Saga have? Way more than DPС, but the game is long dead.
It's barely talked about, they know it's there and that's it. Iсstor has a lot of subscribers too, but the forum about this game only discusses Icstor himself.
It feels like the peak of Being A Dik is long gone. The third season is disappointingly empty and gray. DPC has nothing to offer but dumb drama on nothing.
As for the newcomers, how long will they stick around after realizing the next release is 2 years away?

Not entirely true about it not hitting the charts. People who love playing AVNs (and maybe everyone who has adult content active) will almost certainly still get it shown among their "New & Trending" window and on top in the "featured & recommended" banner. Also don't forget it will still show up for people who search for Visual Novels, especially considering this will be published as a new game and not DLC. The hype gets less with each episode, but it will go up again when season 3 will be released.

Season 1 was a hit already, season 2 just as well. Many if not most people want to continue to follow the story, so I'm pretty sure at least 60-70%of the people who own S2 and are still alive, will also buy S3.

If you load into one of the later freeroams, first travel by shortcut in the lower right. Otherwise you need to load a previous save during a dialogue.

It's barely talked about, how is that expressed? If you're talking about this place, then you don't follow the thread, it's still the most active place on F95 with 10 new pages every new day, (the thread is empty - I meant no one discusses the status update because it's not informative) but for some reason you decided that I meant that the game is dead, although that's not what I wanted to say.
You can see Roger's post about this, and it's true:

So it's wrong, as Roger said, game is discussed.


Don't know about his Discord, fun unoficcial D&H is full of life. Fan-art thread is alive than ever. Creating art is another indicator that the game is alive, moreover, you post the works yourself.
I can't agree about Season 3. It became deeper, more serious, with an emphasis on the characters, the development of personal relationships and their story arcs. My subjective evaluation criterion puts Episodes 10-11 at the top, close to the best 7-8 episodes. The game changed the theme a little to the dark side, as he warned. Overall, I prefer Season 3 as more serious, compared to the 1-2, but I wish it was faster. Moreover, Season 3 starting to answer questions, not creating the new ones.

I worked on static renders all week. I've been working through a specific storyline with multiple scenes, characters, and environments spread throughout the episode, and I am almost finished with it. I have also worked on a couple of other medium-sized scenes with some branched variations.

My strategy right now is to work on longer, fully written scenes, as it feels like more gets done when I work on bigger scenes and can knock the art out in one go. It's a way of working that helps my brain tackle this episode and its many different scenes.

I plan to continue working on static renders for a while, as the two cutscene animations I posed a while back have kept my PCs busy. Both of those cutscene animations are now around 66-75% complete. My other PCs are currently rendering animations from two different lewd scenes and hundreds of static renders.

Have a nice weekend

we've made it through the first half of 2025.
if episode 12 comes in march 2026, then everything is fine, unless you're hungry for GTA 6.

Actually, we are still three weeks short. Half a year is early July, not June.

And even expecting ep 12 in the same 15 months ep 11 took is optimistic. The much more realistic 18 months would be September 2026.
