When it comes to faster releases, you're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't. Waiting time and included content goes hand in hand. You cannot expect a short development time without being disappointed by the lack of content, vice versa.

But I never felt a lack of content in the earlier episodes. As a matter of fact, it seemed perfectly balanced and episodes came out in the sweet spot of 3 - 4 months.

I believe in moving on and evolving when something has played its part, and for this mini-game, its purpose was to restore the mansion - the general theme of Season 2. It won't return in Season 3.

Now that we are invested in the characters, would you be willing to forgo some of the lewd content to add more depth to the relationships?

who the fuck asked this? One of you raccoons?

I'm adding as many tracks with lyrics as possible, provided they fit. It's tricky because listening to songs with lyrics can make it hard to read the dialogue, so I'm being very careful when I add a song with lyrics to a scene.

Exactly, thank you.

N7 said:
Do you think Lynette's (MC mother) scenes have lowered the main story's pace and need some action or make these scenes less frequent?

Not at all. I think her scenes serve an excellent purpose of altering the pace or making the episode feel fresh in the middle of it. During Season 2, her diary scenes have been one of my favorite types of scenes to create. Liking this part of the game comes down to personal preference, and I hope that players who play for the story appreciate these scenes as much as I do.

With Acting Lessons, Megan was the glue for the story, and the forced attraction to her was necessary

Overall, a very good Q&A. Thank you for taking the time to do it. (y)

With the game's release in Steam and GOG, the load and stress increased. Will you hire more staff to help work on the game?

This is a popular question, and my answer has been the same from day one, and it won't change. This setup I have right now with being independent is just how I like it.

I am confident I will be making games this way until I stop making games altogether. Expanding is not on the map for me.

This is all i needed to read from this Q&A, see you in 2030 with the end of this game...:FacePalm:

Well, where the fuck you got this idea in the first place? :unsure: He didn't say anything that imply one episode per year or,more, He say what he always say. He takes his time, he is not planing to make the update bigger , but it wont stop him if its nessecary. Exactly how he operates now.

While Patreons, don't have good taste, and can ask stupid question, this place has no mach when it's come to making assumption that always negative so they can bitch about something :ROFLMAO:

Dude, I love DPC as much as you do. He helped me get out of the depression associated with a difficult breakup(y).

I will always be grateful to him for that. I have always been optimistic about the future of the project. But his latest decisions make me become skeptical. I would be glad that the rate of 2 updates per year remained for a long time, but judging by his last words, I believe in it weakly every day.

It's more the math the Season 3 prelude episode messes up the timeline. If it's out next month or later we're only getting one full episode this year. The only thing that would equal two episodes a year is if DPC starts to take less time per episode like early season 1 aka 4 months... DPC takes 6 months per episode so e.g.
April 2022: Season 3 Prelude
October 2022: Episode 9
April 2023: Episode 10
October 2023: Episode 11
April 2024: Episode 12

So he's removing one of the two good mini-games and is making new ones? I get it, coding in RenPy is boring but you could, you know, make one good minigame and use it in every episode instead of constantly making new ones

His mini games are connected to the story, you genius. That's why he create new ones, and he enjoy creating it. The mansion is finished, so we don't need it anymore. We probably Get something related to the party planning and economic. The Laptop had some interesting folder, that implied these.
We also Finished the Gender class, do we probably getting a new Class with new mini game.

Yes, which only angers me more about the Interlude. And this preview shot...

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Now I have to watch Zoey or whomever these two rando fuckheads are working in a tattoo parlour? It's bad enough I probably have to sit through a surfing mini game in the ocean (dodging waves or whatever), but now I have to watch the drama of tattoo business like one of those mind-numbing reality tv shows? What does any of this have to do with B&R? I don't care about Zoey's backstory living at beach. I'd really like to see a preview render of the Interlude that increases instead of decreases excitement and provides some kind of purposeful link to the world of B&R beyond just: hey, Zoey is in it. Let's watch her sniff paint and whore around san Diego until she runs out of money and comes to the conclusion that she misses MC and and/or Neil's big dicks.

Some more preview shots and a good description of what exactly we are getting with the Interlude would alleviate a lot of concerns.

P.S. And even if you do get overly attached to these new characters, it's a one and done for all of them except Zoey. The entire cast isn't picking up and moving to B&R. You're never going to see these people again after the Interlude.

Plus those people look like they will give me Hepititus if I stare at them too long.

I'll bet the main premise is going to be Zoey working her way into the BIG surf competition...Ooohh, Ahhhh. You have to train up her skills in the ocean (mini game) while working at Hep B Tattoo joint and occasionally sucking off or scissoring your co-workers. And surprise, she wins the competition in the end! A close call in the ocean makes her realise she wants Neil MC back. Fortunately, she earned just enough money for train ticket back to B&R city.

How exciting...... No one asked for this. I wish DPC would have just started EP 9 and added a breif flashback when you meet Zoey again.
