My son will inherit my savesI just can't help but laugh when I imagine myself 10 years later waiting for Ep 20 to relase after finishing Ep 19 and then coming here to discuss MC having testicular cancer with the same current members.

What a legendary first postMy son will inherit my saves
That and bigger chapters. Which is exactly what he did when he upgraded his hardware.I'm pretty sure that even if DPC agreed to expand his team this wouldn't reduce the time between episodes significantly.
He would improve the game, redo some parts he's not so sure about, develop some ideas that he's left aside at the moment...
I really wish he'd stop being greedy and buying shares in the rotten rish market in Sweden and make a small team.
A small team would allow him to still oversee quality and etc.
Or even small episodes like 3k renders.
I don't think DPC is greedy. I rather think that he does not want to or cannot share the development. BaDIK is his baby and he doesn't want anyone else to lay a hand on his baby.

This is true, although year 1 and 2 had three each. I personally would like to see him manage his content in a way that allowed him to hit three a year. Especially when that content is stuff like D&G.That estimation depends on where you believe DPC will stop. 12 eps, 16 eps 20eps, even more? Whatever it is, we're roughly at 2eps a year now.
Yes I agree that running a studio is very different from being self employed, that said he could ‘hire’ people on a freelance basis, but honestly I can’t see him doing that. I’m not sure which part of production I’d want him to give up. That said I do think he should find something ‘extra’ to do with the money. One idea I had was hiring an animator to make short films with the characters.Be careful what you wish for.
This game is a labor of love.
Once he starts employing other people, he’ll have a whole new ball game of drama to deal with, and it won’t be in game:
Eventually the game will become a chore, quality will slip and before it’s complete he’ll throw in the towel, or even worse, sell the IP to Icstor.
- Paying wages,
- Dealing with employee issues (like staff who whine when they don’t want to work 12+ hours a day seven days a week),
- Sexual harassment cases when he starts blurring the lines between the in game and office behaviour.
No, count your blessings. I don’t care how big any other AVN team on this site is, none of them are delivering the quantity and quality of DPC in the same time span or faster.
Philly? Quantity are less though.I don’t care how big any other AVN team on this site is, none of them are delivering the quantity and quality of DPC in the same time span or faster.
I enjoyed the DnG game and played it for every ending, but the best parts were when it cut back into the "real world" and dealt with character reactions. The girls getting freaked out over how sexually depraved the MC is, Sally mocking him and him mistreating Sally, Magnar simply loving it...This is true, although year 1 and 2 had three each. I personally would like to see him manage his content in a way that allowed him to hit three a year. Especially when that content is stuff like D&G.
When D&G was first speculated I was in favour, thinking of the episodes of Community where they play D&D and tell great character stories while they do. What DPC needed was some ‘real/ game‘ world consequence, instead its 30 minutes of game play that gets us nothing, no character progression and sex scenes that to short to be worth the energy. Removing that alone could have sped up release by weeks and we’d have lost nothing.
Yep, quality is definitely up there, arguably surpassing BaDIK, but in the same development time (in days, don't know how many man-hours are spent during that period for PhillyGames), actual play time is much, much lower per update.Philly? Quantity are less though.
Don't forget priceless Tybalt interruption ))0 The endings where MC wins also were really funnyI enjoyed the DnG game and played it for every ending, but the best parts were when it cut back into the "real world" and dealt with character reactions.

But yeah, if it expanded on some "real world" situation, like an obvious advancement with the girls, or even a fucking smile of acknowledgement from Sally, it would have enhanced it for sure.
If he does include another gaming session in a future episode, I think he'd have to keep it simple and maybe even use it as a backdrop for some other drama, where the game doesn't even finish and people go off throwing a tantrum or something with Magnar disgusted at the lack of commitment. Maybe Sally suddenly realising she is sexually attracted to the mc even though she think's he's a neanderthal.
Hey, that was actually reasonable. Man, you need your goulash fix.There might be another reason why DPC does not want to work in the team. Leaks could occur and thus take the tension out of the game. That would also destroy BaDIK.
For episodes 6 and 7, DPC has also been focusing on other features rather than solely producing content in terms of renders and animations. Repairing the mansion has been included, the in-game phone has been updated for episode 7, another new feature will probably be introduced in the next episode... It all postpones the waiting time but it also increases the quality of the game exponentially. I don't think 3 episodes a year will happen again since DPC is in a continuous rivalry with himself to outperform the last episode. And improving the quality means he has to put more time into it.This is true, although year 1 and 2 had three each.

I think rivalry is the wrong word for it. In my opinion, DPC wants everything to be perfect. That will be his personal incentive. But he should always remember that nothing in this world is perfect.For episodes 6 and 7, DPC has also been focusing on other features rather than solely producing content in terms of renders and animations.

Exactly as is was said before, this is his baby. And its hard to mesh different styles or find someone that create your vision.I think rivalry is the wrong word for it.

I had the same problem when I started with Poser 20 years ago. I wanted everything to be perfect and I was never satisfied.
So I had to come up with a new philosophy for perfection (in terms of 3D creations). "Symmetry is mathematical perfection, but unnatural. Asymmetry is not perfect, but natural."
Let see if I understand correctly -Hi, I'm using the walkthrough mod linked here. The problem first occurred when I used the mod to access the josy+maya path while being a dik and when I saved it the game during the story of how the DiK was founded. I went back to an earlier save (which was ages ago) and tried playing again. The problem kept occurring (again during the yoga scene).
Thanks!

considering that by that time the story is being written by DPC daughter that married phillygames son it might be a very different story where they are too busy taking care of DPC grandchild...."Thats for me, Timmy?"
"Yes, grandpa', i made it for your 92nd birthday!
"Ooh i wonder what is it.."
"Gallery unlocker and fullsave, grandpa!"

Well, let's say the next update releases in April, each update is now taking about 5 months each to complete and the maximum number of episodes for the whole game with each Season containing 4 episodes each. So, there are 3 estimates:How much time will it take (on an average) for this game to get completed if everything goes at the pace as it is going right now . I can not take this wait after playing 1 chapter and then waiting for another

The thing about working in a team is that DPC would not only have to give up some of his control, but he has to rely on others to be able to do certain elements of the work, not just to his standards, but to his timescale as well.There might be another reason why DPC does not want to work in the team.
