Gotta say, this thread is a great remedy for coping with the dev time of E12. I found out about the game last month and it already feels like I've waited for eternity, can't even fathom what you veterans must feel at this point
It's probably a very individual thing. I first started playing just before ep 9 came out. At first I didn't bother downloading S3 because it just had the interlude, but after playing S1-2 three or four times ep 9 was available. Waiting for ep 10 was agonising, but BADIK isn't the only game I follow and when I did the math on how much content ep 9 had compared to the time it was in development, I realised the guy is actually on the faster side of devs and until a certain point my impatience just wasn't reasonable. So I replayed the game looking for things I hadn't seen yet and spent time with some other games.
There's nothing like the feeling of getting a new update after mere three months and after being done with it... "That's it? It took this guy three months to make
this? It's a decent game, but BADIK ep 9 is at least 30 times this. Actually ep 9 is bigger than this entire game... That this guy has been making for more than two years... Yeah, ep 10 deserves a bit more time."
Ep 10 came out and after a few months I made this account. Waiting for ep 11 was easier because of it, but it was still tough. When the waiting hit a full year I thought: "Okay, NOW the impatience is justified." and that's how I deal with it now. For about six more months the impatience isn't justified. For three months after that ep 12 isn't any worse than ep 11. By the end of that coping should be such a routine that waiting for ep 12 being even worse than ep 11 won't feel like that much of an agony.
