Damn how did he use that much time on such a little update how long has it been almost a year or something.

BD's sheep aren't as slavishly loyal as before, but he still gets paid far too well. And as for DPC...

It doesn't really matter whether it's burnout or money. It might be a mix of both. The bottom line is, BD is a con artist who has used almost every excuse imaginable—ranging from claiming the game is a passion project and that he’s a perfectionist constantly reworking scenes, to citing personal tragedies as reasons for the delays. I’m honestly shocked he still has supporters. Maybe they admire his creativity in coming up with new excuses. That's the only reason I keep checking this thread every few months. I want to find out what his next excuse will be.

Let's not veer into blasphemy lol . While there are indeed issue with the way things slowly move and advance in DIK ... the quality of those two games and their updates could not be further apart . When an episode did drop for DIk , it was actually substantial . And it's still coming from someone that actually finishes his games , and good ones at that .

DPC is open and honest about how long he and his team will take to complete an episode.
Each episode is extremely detailed, long, introduces new mechanics to keep it fresh, has a coherant story, massive replayability and is on time to the set timetable.
no one is bothered by long spaces between updates if they are advertised to us in advance (Light of my life for example) it's when developers lie and gaslight it's a problem.

Speaking about BaDiK, the reason I respect DPC is that he doesn't try to set release dates he won't be able to meet. Yes, a single update takes a good 10-14 months to make, but when a single path takes a good 8-12 hours per update, which means a good few days worth of gameplay per update, it's justifiable that he takes a while to get one released. Hell, he doesn't even give us a good timeframe until he's absolutely certain the game is close to ready and then only after the playtesting finishes up properly does he reveal when the update will drop.

Exactly people do not mind waiting for a update if the quality and the amount of play time for the months it took for the update is good. With BD he put out little 300 render updates ever 4 to 12 months. Which for the amount of time it take to get those small updates and how much he gets in support is unacceptable. I also respect BaDiK for not setting release date he cant meet. It's better to just say I am working on the update and I don't have any time frame for the release yet. I will post one as soon as I am sure I can meet the release.
With BD it the update is coming next week. Next week gets here and BD tells us some excuse or another of why he failed to meet the release date promises it will come in a few days to weeks and miss the those release dates over and over again. Then when we finally get it he has to spilt it up into tiny updates.

I remember when this game was just starting out - big and very frequent updates - even too frequent. Folks in the comments were advising BD to slow down to not burn out. And now I've realized that it was 5 years ago, damn (and BD has completely burnt out - or just lost full passion, but the money is too good).

looks like BD lost about 800 subs in the last 2 months since "update is coming" OG post, more than 25% of his entire cash flow

I hope that, even if it isn't what I think (I have two options, the MC is the manwhore or some girls are the prostitutes), it can be avoided.We won't spoil it, but the prostitution is not what you think. Too late, someone ruined it, phooey! Shame on you mosxyz and you suck Krypt.

-Overpromised + false expectation that lead to burn out.
-Small excuses that continuously adding up and the inability to suck it up and admit that he lied.
-Keep writing himself into a corner by adding characters after characters that he doesnt have the plan, intention nor the capability to deliver a coherent narrative for. Because it's easier than writing an actual coherent story.
note to future self and other baby devs to avoid these mistakes.

yeah wenn it all startet he brought an update every one and a half week maybe two if i am not mistaken.
and then it was already 150 to 250 renders.
add a litte more to it and you have the amount of renders what he brings out every few month now.
a decent updatesize is 300 to 500 renders a month for the most developers here.
of course that depents on the game that is beeing made.
so yeah it would be better for him if he would go where he was lets say 4 years ago.
