Pardon me for playing "Devil's Advocate" here, people, but you are all moaning about the time it takes for the dev to put out updates. Meanwhile, you're all sitting there, partaking of the fruits of their labour completely free of charge. I suggest that, if you want something for nothing, then you're not exactly in any position to whine about update timetables that don't suit you. I suggest you learn some patience or, if you want the right to moan, then start contributing to their Patreon or similar

#1 dev that does not deserve the benefit of the doubt or a devil's advocate, dude is a compulsive liar.

Dear Devil's Advocate, I'm not trying to be an "idiot", but I'm not deciding what's more pathetic, that you're coming out and saying nonsense to defend BD or that you needed so much attention that you're looking for it here.
I'm clearly leaning towards the latter, you're provoking for attention. To think that the problem here is the missed dates is really lost if you really believe that.

Bruh I hate this defense to the core of my soul.
If my bud pays for my ticket to a sporting event or movie/etc I'm no longer allowed to gripe?
Because I didn't shell cash out?
Secondly plenty of people support others after finding ways to get it. I've done it numerous times with games just to make sure it runs first solidly. I'm tired of forking over dough for half finished broken messes. This dude has shown he half asses his work even when it is released and expects top $ hell no.
Third we're still allowed to gripe because the man is basically running a cult here. They praise after 20 delays and then ask for 40 delays next time. All while continuing subscriptions knowing fully well what hes doing. Hes not some 5 year old playing with toys. Even a 16 yr old knows whats right and wrong. So stop being some shill for him.
Edit - don't use that "make your own game" crap either.. I actually do overhaul mod projects + commissions on games. I make half my living from it and I don't promise empty things like this man does.

If it looks and sounds like a delay, it must be an effin' delay. I guess, the fifth within the last week.
That said, I am strongly considering playing all my five paths on Delta Iota Kappa from scratch (since all the data is on my old hard disk in the old defunct PC and I am not sure I have a balanced neutral path to score both Maya and Josy) and I am doubting that BD has this update out by the time I am finished.

To me the most hilarious part is how specific he was with the date and time. I mean how difficult would it have been to say in the next few days or something equally vague?
First off, if I were able to deter even one person from becoming a subscriber of this scammer all my posting would've been worth it.
And secondly, a lot of us are former patreons as well (me included) to this utter shit show so maybe get of your high horse you absolute donkey. Or do you think one would have to be an active subscriber to voice opinions of someone so blatantly lying and deceiving the people who funds his entire life?
Wait, let me just subscribe for a month so I have your blessing to be vocal of my criticism, but that only lasts for a month so do I need to subscribe next month as well to be able to complain or does my time end as soon as my subscription expires? /s
I've seen a lot of stupid takes on the internet but this one must be at least top 3. Do us all a favour and get the f outta here.

you misunderstood me. the mcdonalds comparison stems from how popular badik is, not the quality itself. i wasn't calling it bad. he has 15k patreons + steam and gog sales. adding such character is polarizing for a vanilla college dating game. badik is quite literally the biggest "porn" vn we will see in the near future.

I guess he had to announce a date of release to justify unpausing the pledges.

You're missing a key piece here for I would imagine not just myself but for a few of us. I used to pay for the Patreon, but like many once the dev got flaky I decided to cancel my sub. This site is great for trying a game and then supporting the creator if you truly want it. At least that's how I view my interactions here.
I don't think anyone is out of line here hoping that the dev gets it together. The reason we are so passionate is this game has potential if the dev could stick to a timeline, or simply care enough to keep a schedule.

Nah mate. Ur wrong about that.
Ex sub aswell and I´m gonna be brutally honest. I´m only here to see that pathetic meatbag crash and burn. The time where he was able to redeem himself is long gone.
He hasn´t stopped lying, deceiving and scamming ppl for more than 3 years now after promising time after time after time that he´s going to do better. Newsflash: He hasn´t.
Luckily i stopped playing and paying after the pool party and haven´t touched that trainwreck since. The only reason i´m still here is to shit on BD, his work ethic and to warn new members about him.
It´s going to be pure bliss when we finally get an abandoned tag for this freakshow
Havent actively been here in a while, just scanning through sometimes, but I am glad nothing much has changed.
To the newcomers or naive people out there, some info that might help:
This is a pirate site, no two ways about it, so the paying for something argument is pretty misplaced in general IMO.
But a lot of devs (including BD) started from here, a lot of them are still active here even if it does not directly increase their income because.... they get most of their subs from here (or similar sites), and not a lot of them get to the point where this becomes a living hell (for their game and supporters), and they are pretty much "at war" with their "origin site".
Lets be fair, not sure how new some people are to the thread, but saying that only by paying to a scammer gives the justification to rant about it is wrong on so many levels.

The abandoned tag is almost impossible. The cultists have too much money to spend on him.
Just asking has he even done the whole season one remake thing yet or are we still waiting for that?
You're never going to see that. So please don't wait for it.
Dev Report #45 (March 7th, 2025)
New
19 minutes ago
Hey guys, first off I want to apologize for not having the rest of E13 up yet.
I set the date of March 3rd based on the remaining render work at the time and under the assumption that I would be unpausing at midnight on the 1st which I then decided after posting that I would not unpause until later which avalanched into some problems that I've had to deal with over this week.
I'm not trying to use that as an excuse, obviously none of that is anyone's fault but my own. The rest of E13 should have been up a long time ago and then none of this would have been an issue.
I also shouldn't have set a release date until everything was ready and uploaded, it's a lesson I've learned and forgotten many times. Due to me needing to unpause pledges I felt it was only right to do so with a release date attached.
I was feeling really good and honestly thought the date was a lock until I had to take my time away to handle issues in life. I set another date for the next day and did everything I could to hit it and I wasn't able to package the update until about 3am that night.
It took me a long time to fall asleep after and I ended up sleeping in late, I woke up ready to upload but I realized I made one of the dumbest mistakes at the worst time.
I use two different Ren'py versions, one is for the PC/Mac builds and the other is for Android. I had also just re-organized all of my files. Well in my half asleep attempt to get things packaging before I slept I accidentally packaged both sides on the wrong versions. I'm not sure if downgrading Ren'py versions would break PC/Mac saves but I know upgrading versions definitely breaks Android saves.
Not only that but I had left in my "testing" file that includes all of the uncompressed renders and animations for all of E13, including old iterations of scenes.
To add the cherry on top, right after realizing my mistake I got a call telling me I had even more issues to deal with in life.
After dealing with issues and having new ones, missing release dates, feeling like a dumbass.
My mental was in the gutter again and I kinda shut down. I've been trying to fight it but these last few days have been rough. I kept trying to get it out but it felt like I was in the same spot I was in before except now I didn't have a real "reason" to be there.
I instantly hated everything I made again and I kept almost making changes but I stopped myself, though I did add some things. Mostly a few animations to the flight home scene.
With all that being said, I'm waking up from the fog I was in for a minute.
I know where this road leads, I can't let myself self-destruct again and let a miss turn into 30 misses. I'm not getting trapped in this shit again, I'm not letting a bad week turn into a bad month again.
For everyone's sake, I'm not setting another hard date but an estimated release of sometime this weekend. There is no reason it shouldn't be up this weekend. I'm going to dip away from the internet while I finish the additions so I don't get in my head again so I'll likely just be posting the update when it's ready like I did last time.
I also included the numbers for what will be in the first release of E14, that's what this dev report was supposed to focus on but I don't want to talk too much about it while you guys are still waiting for the rest of E13.
All I'll say is the first release will include 2 scenes (Sneaking in, and Family Reunion.)
We'll talk about the rest next week.
Thank you guys for everything, I'm sorry for the shit week after saying I wouldn't end up here again. I'm not staying here, I just let myself get overwhelmed and I tried to handle too many things at once. Just bad shit at the worst time but that's life and I have to respond better.
I also start therapy again this upcoming week so hopefully that will help me keep in line.
I'll talk to you guys soon.
