Does anyone else think that the characterization of Maya and to an extent Josy is a bit off in Chapter 5 ? I guess it could be because we spend far less time with them, but still.

I'm also super curious what's Bella's big secret that would scare the MC that bad. With that kind of setup it's going to be a let down if it's not something epic.

Shit, I was just scrolling and skimming trough the page and just saw the cards and skipped the picture fast, yet a thought popped into my had these cards are official and part of a new mini-game. The excitement grew rapidly inside me, how I was disappointed that my zeal was for a fan spin on beach series. (Good idea by the way) However, what do you guys think of a cards mini-game inside the main game?

Why would there be? You know DPC doesn't release preview renders with status updates.
Huh, I thought DPC had mentioned some sort of render, but it looks like he was referring to the number of animations. I guess that's what I get for trying to blitz through all the new posts after work. :oops:

Sweet! Now I can finally get into proper technical arguments about tags!

Wait...

I don't think Maya and Josy's characterization was off per se. I think they just had to be squeezed into a tight time frame (like most things in Episode 5, alas). Thus we get odd bits like Josy ignoring everything to read her letter or Maya's scene starting well but becoming disappointingly formulaic. There just wasn't a chance to let our interactions with them develop of the pace they really should have.

That said, it's certainly true that Maya remains very different from the way she acted in Episode 1 and most of Episode 2, but I think that's intentional. It's a result of the fact she's close enough to the MC that she let's him see her vulnerable side rather than the facade she tries to project. It makes sense, but I really do miss Maya's playful side. Hopefully we'll get to see it again in Episode 6 if she and the MC (and Josy) can finally start to feel good about their new arrangement.

Awesome as always. Thanks again, Bacchus!

One tiny, teeeeensy little nitpick? I'm pretty sure BaDIK takes place at a fictional College/University in the U.S. So, Cathy would be a 'math' teacher, not a 'maths' teacher.

Usually devs will get the tags sorted out by contacting the mods to add or remove certain ones, but since DPC isn't here, I guess it's up to us to do it. So maybe if we summon N7 and ask them to add the 'lesbian' tag to this, they may be kind enough to oblige us. :giggle:



That was brought up a while ago and it was explained that 'twins' is a tag for non-sexual content and is described in the tag rules as, "Used when there's a pair of twins".

So that's why it's there, even if it is kind of misleading.
I don't agree. Twins is a sexual tag. In a non sexual context is meaningless. Who would decide to play a game because it has two people that happen to be twins, but aren't even identical and have no sexual interactions together? It's completely meaningless. (I know it's in the rules, but using it like that is like saying people, or brunette if there's only one brunette in the background you don't interact with).
In any game where the dev doesn't upload it themselves, tags are the responsibility of the community. If nobody on F95Zone has reported the absence of the lesbian tag then that's on us (I happen to believe that only the most important tags need to added, for example, if the 'impregnation' tag is present, I consider the 'creampie' tag to be redundant and not worthy of inclusion)

They're the only twins identified as such in the game. I can't rule out Jacob and John Boy being adoptive twins but, so far, there's no evidence to back that up :p
Maybe Jill and Evil Jill are twins and we don't know it yet :ROFLMAO: .

And by the way, if you don't get to see the creampie, but you have sex with a pregnant woman (by you or someone else) then they aren't redundant).

Last week I've mainly been writing/coding and posing some static renders.
These last few weeks I've been working on the checklist I made. It originally had roughly 160 bullet points and now it's down to 27, with several sub-tasks per task.
My strategy was to do every simple task at first to gain momentum, leaving the bigger tasks to the end and that's where I'm at right now.
To break it down for you, this is what remains in terms of development.
  • Writing: 6 scenes + 2 free roam events
  • Static renders: 18 scenes + 2 free roam events
  • Animations: 4 scenes (~20-50 animations, depending on the length of the animations)
Coding tasks:
  • Adding Bios
  • Some phone content
  • Making sure gallery scenes work
  • A tutorial for something new
  • Some code for something else that's new
  • Relationship reports
  • 1 minigame
  • Freeroam code
  • Adding music/sound to 10 scenes
  • Playtesting and polishing before beta testing and proofreading can begin.
The current render count is 2365 renders and 94 animations.
I have a queue with 49 static renders and 26 animations. Animations have been rendering rather slow lately, but you'll likely understand why when you see what's been cooking.
I estimate what's left in terms of art to be 20-50 animations and 500-1000 static renders. These are rough numbers.
The checklist is a bit more tangible now and it's nice to look at it without having to scroll to see the remaining tasks.
I want to finish writing the remaining scenes as soon as possible, so I can focus on the art afterward. That will be my main priority next week.
It's a story-heavy update and as you can see from the animation count, there will be lewd events to satisfy as well.
I passed episode 5 size in terms of writing sometime last week and there will be more things to do, unlock and discover in this update as well.
I've been working through a pesky cold this week, but nothing is going to stop me.
I hope you're as excited as I am because the mountain of work for episode 6 is almost down to pebble size.
Have a nice weekend

The update won't be in October I guess. End of September is my guess, amazing
