Let's put things into perspective. The thread was created in April 2020 (almost 5 years ago) and in these 5 years, the 2 devs produced together 6 chapters of average length (I've seen games with shorter chapters, some with longer)
Being A DIK thread was created in February 2019 (6 years ago) and the dev alone produced 10 extremely long chapters with an 11th nearing completion.
All 3 devs mentionned here are supposedly developing their games full time
I am only giving facts. Make of them what you want.
I get what you're saying but using BaD as an example doesn't work. DPC has the resources to have a dozen workstations running 24/7 if he wanted. Very few devs can match his render output. I'm sure there are better examples.

As far as I can tell the limiting factor with this games chapters hasn’t been the render output but rather SirD’s procrastination.

True. The person I replied to was talking about the length of chapters in a certain time frame though. My point about very few being able to match DPC stands. I'm not gonna defend SirD I just think there are better comparisons.

Don't know how many workstations Alorth and his artists have.
But even leaving aside that DPC makes arround 4-5 times the amount of content per update, this game still only got half the number of updates.

Not sure who would be a good comparison off the top of my head.
SirD/Alorth have years of expirience, have the hardware (Alorth even a team) and they are fulltime devs.
Yet the updates and amount of content this game get's aren't even good in comparison to many newer devs, which work alone, have not the best hardware and have a day job...

It's a good game?
Try it and you shall see :ROFLMAO: In all seriousness, check the thread and see when it started and how many pages the thread contains and read the comments, that should give you a fair idea of the quality of the game ;)

Nope, I was not only refering to render count, also the number of releases. You focused on render count on your own. Also how do you think DPC got to where he is now, with his supercalculators? He releases updates consistently since Acting Lessons, kept his patrons updated on what he's been doing without spoiling the content of his update (which, when I was subscribed, was one of the BS reason sir jammed mentionned as why he could not post regular devlogs).
Had he had a real work ethics, I believe he would be on par with DPC on the number of supporters

Chapter length = render count. Like I said, not gonna defend this dev and I don't care to have a lame ass argument either. My point was no one can match DPC.

''august 2024, really'' -- before august
''almost done, just a couple of weeks, promise'' -- end of august
''at the end of the month'' early december
''in a few days'' -- end of january
''in a few days to the testers'' -- at the end of last week
''joking aside, really am almost done'' -- today

Just make a guess yourself, the dev doesn't know any better either.

Nah DPC always had really good output. Even before all of the money. He used to drop a update like every 3-5 months with like a hour of content or more. DPC is just a machine. Doesnt seem to suffer from burn out, writers block or boredom that bad like the rest of his peers.

this game has really slow dev time, with mediocre scenes most of the time. Not really worth the wait. Sir Damn is also just too lazy. Just a hour of new content every year is really bad.

All paraphrased so to all the people hung up on the technicals, get off my ass lol, but this is how my memory serves me.

March 2024 (End of Ch. 6 release): "We are making good progress and staying on track Ch. 7 is scheduled for July to maintain a 3-4 month release schedule."

July 2024: "Hey guys we know we said July, but it looks like August, ONE MORE MONTH! NO REPEATS OF THE PAST WE'RE CHANGED DEVS! we will keep you updated."

*Nothing for a few months*

November 2024: "Hey guys, we're working REALLY HARD to get the update out, it will come out soon lmao."

December 2024: "Had a few setbacks, but we are working on getting the update out to the testers and will be released to you shortly."

January 2025: "Hey guys, I didn't like the way the Chapter was written so I re-wrote approximately 20% and that will be out to testers and in your hands before the end of the month."

February 2025: "I have writers block... feel bad for me... give me money... wahhhhh"

something like that.
yeah now he will go on rinse and repeat mode... this trsh developer
