Status update Episode 11
🕑 Added 2025-01-17 16:53:48 +0000 UTC
Today's update will be short, which is good because we're at the end of the development cycle.
I've been play-testing for the better part of the week. I am now focusing on continuity and replaying the entire game, Episodes 1-11, during my tests. I will make a couple of playthroughs like this in the upcoming week, and it's pretty time-consuming as the game grows bigger.
I've also been taking some time to write content for episode 12 and write the code for the remaining mini-games in Season 3.
I checked the render speed of the animation queue today, and February 7-9 still stands as the completion date. Beta testing will commence shortly thereafter and beta testers have been alerted.
I will post a preliminary changelog for you next Friday and release the final preview of episode 11 before that.
Have a nice weekend

hitmanbaker
that is not true unless im totally wrong the plan is 4 episodes to each season..we have had 9 & 10 the next is 11.. still one more episode to come after the next episode releases february hopefully
hitmanbaker
this is only episode 11 update .episode 12 will complete the season 3 which is still a long while away..each episode so far on season 3 is bigger than most avn games total. i cant wait for episode 11 though hopefully its mid feb :)

If you want some translation give us a heads up

Basically a AAA game. Like yea it's adult themed for consumers of that content but you could hoenstly delete all the 18+ stuff and still have a decent VN game
Nicholas Nail
This gonna be a huge plate of spaghetti when it's all said and done.
Malathus
To add to this we all get into "auto mode" where we just process things as quickly as we can and miss small details. As Cosmic said playtesters tend to catch these things.
Cosmic_Sai
Not at all. Humans aren’t perfect, but a lot of humans can add a variety of perspective and show you things you missed or didn’t think of. It’s why it’s important to have multiple people test a game.
Malathus
Episode 11 will. Steam and Gog will not do a release until after Episode 12 is completed. You will be able to DL Episode 11 here as a Patreon member

It's been a long time since episode 10 was released, but the branching is probably getting out of hand for how much content there will be based on player choices. So, I know episode 11 will be amazing, and also makes me wonder how many times I'll have to play through seasons 1 and 2 again to get some things in episode 11.

Episode 12 LETS GOOOOOOOOO 🗣

So does that mean the game will be completed sometime between mid-February and March?
vityan

Scott
Nah we carry many biases of ourselves.
Adam Mossakowski
Thank You Scott, I'll keep an eye then! :)

OMG OMG OMG
Scott
Steam and Gog get full seasons only. It won't be posted there until ep12 is finished and posted. In the meantime you can get Interlude, 9 and 10 from here. Then 11 when it comes out sometime relatively soon.
Adam Mossakowski
Oh I actually have no idea, I just assumed :P
Julian Miranovič Štefanič
It would be great if it's finished on February 8th since it's one of my favourite holidays. But any day the chapter's complete is a holiday for me. 😁
CST1992
You'd be surprised.
CST1992
Is it coming on Steam? I'd think we have to wait till EP12 end for that, which is a year+ away.
Malathus
Plus if they are good at their job Playtesters break crap you didn't even think of.
Adam Mossakowski
Very exciting! Ready for purchase on steam day one! :D
Frosty
I bet ya do ya read it enough 😏
Nordwolf
Beta testing is done by others. It's the same when you read your own texts... normally you don't see your own spelling mistakes.
Frosty
So if your playing the game front to back multiple times....don't you think that counts as your beta testing phase?
Phillip
Unfortunately as much I would also love that, I think it’s too unrealistic as that would give testers a couple days to play then the fixes need to be reported then fixed, their is simply no time, I mean anything is possible but just saying very unlikely.
Jiji-kun
The release is getting so palpable! Let's go!
Schobbob .
let's fucking go
Qii Yukihira
Yeayyyyyy
xyz666
Sounding sooo close, can't wait
Dušan Smrček
Yes, yes, yes!!!
Tim Anderson
Awesome stuff Dr Pink, excited for the episode and the many playthrough that will follow.
Scott
Sounds great DPC! I'm getting psyched for the episode. Have a great weekend DPC, All.
R2D2TS
Thanks for the update. I am stoked.
Chris Martin
Might be too soon but a Valentine’s Day release would be awesome. If overestimating the time needed for the rest of the animations.
Jonathan Hang
Nice! Excellent and exciting news 👏🏻!!! I can't wait to read the changelog and see the final preview and for the EP to drop! Always over 100% HYPE 🙌🏻!!! So many playthroughs to play 😋! Thanks for the update, Doc! I always look forward to reading them! They always make my day better 😁! As always, hope you and everyone continue to have an amazing and awesome week! And I'll catch you all—ON the next one ✌🏻😉!

Gay porn hard!

Surprise Tara! it was us on the other side of that bathroom stall, so Ditch Oscar, who apparently has slept with Gina, and enjoy the ride.
Malathus
As you feel Bella's ominous stare on the back of your neck Heraclivs
Artem pupsik
Thanks for the update
Craigbk1976
In the process of replaying and tweaking a major play through of mine all most finished with plenty of time before the release. So stoked great news can’t wait. Have a good weekend DPC
Kenny
Incredibly jealous you get to play the game! Thanks Doc can hardly wait!
Nordwolf
I keep my saves and start all with episode 11. But every couple of months I do a complete replay with something different as before. Let it be another affinity, a run focusing on one girl, a run with or without drugs / fights, different decisions in some areas, and so on. I even have a playthrough named "sexless", lol, where I did nothing with any of the girls until now. I want to see, if it possible throughout the whole game and if this triggers something else in the future.
Nordwolf
And next month, you replay all of them with a variation in this scene and another decision in that scene and realize how scenes and little details change based on that. I am always amazed when I see how coherent and logical the whole game is made and how your actions and decisions really make a difference.
Ldub
Can't imagine what your save file section looks like 😂. I'm betting each girl and Others have about 50 pages a piece.
Heraclivs
In the last month I played all the girls except Bella!
Lilatentakel
😂
Lilatentakel
I can only agree with the previous speaker: it's really worth playing every lady in her story, including Quinn's story.
Jeffrey Pantaleon
Same here, if it wasn't for me going through the naming process, I would have been confused as hell as some of them are the exact same thumbnail but different names. While others have thumbnails during the sex parts. 😂
Lilatentakel
I can't wait for the next update either, but I'm happy to wait until March because I know it will be out in a very good condition. We mustn't forget that BaD has become huge in the meantime.
chris
can't wait for the update to be out keep up the good work
Calhoun28
Thanks for the update Doc! This is great news. Now is the time for the brothers to start making arrangements to take that week off work. lol
Nordwolf
Only MJ and Sage? I would say, you missed 75% of the game :-D
Jeffrey Pantaleon
Yeah I backed up my saves a while back and damn, a lot more than I realized when I went back to the game on my Steam Deck.
Lilatentakel
At some point it became too confusing for me and I created lots of storage folders that I copy in as required. Of course, this causes the display of the saves to go haywire from time to time, but that doesn't bother me 😅
Jeffrey Pantaleon
Yeah that's what I'm wondering. I wonder if that's just a means to use Rio as leverage against Quinn? I really hope it's up to us to rescue her!
Lilatentakel
I understand that only too well. I have lots of subfolders where I store all the saves...and this folder is big 🫣
JEH
Thanks for the update. It seems we are getting close now. :-)
ZackNero03
Fellow DIKs, the light at the end of the tunnel can be seen.
Lilatentakel
I also really like Rio and have a playthrough just for her. I'm curious what Vinny has done with her, after all he kidnaps her at the end of episode 10...Rio, I'm coming to rescue you.
Lilatentakel
I started playing all the episodes again in December (one playthrough for each lady) and then again from episode 5 (don't ask why exactly from then on) with my main ladies. The game is just mega good. Now I'm ready for episode 11 😂
Lilatentakel
I repeat myself: It is always worth playing this game from the beginning 😅
John Craig
Only way to do it. I will be doing the same.
Lilatentakel
I think Doc certainly has enough people here...and as with any developer, these are people he knows and trusts 😅
Lilatentakel
It is always worth playing this game from the beginning 👍
Arta
Nice one DPC. Enjoy your weekend.
Richard Doelker
Amen!
Fantasist
@Lilatentakel, I have so many saves and playthroughs it's embarrassing lol
Joshua Dershem
I'm thinking more likely it'll be at the earliest end of February but more likely early to mid March before we see release.
Richard Doelker
OMG, OMG, OMG!!!
Jeffrey Pantaleon
Same here and I didn't realize this until recently, I was asking myself why do I have so many saves? Oh well at least we have a ton of slots available for them. 😂
Brownaaa
May have to delete my saves and start again from the beginning stoked for this
Jeffrey Pantaleon
Facts
Jeffrey Pantaleon
Don't get it twisted, I do too. Impossible not like them all in their own way like Rio as an example, if I had known Rio was an option when I first started playing, I would have had one of my first playthrough focusing on her. 😆
Brownaaa
How do you become a beta tester?
Kurmblog
Its becoming real!! Have a great one doc!
Lilatentakel
I prefer February if he can do the finishing touches.
Gynics
Josy on top though
Heraclivs
Thanks! Can't wait for the new episode. I've recently replayed cause I missed a lot of things doing only MJ and Sage.
Lilatentakel
I hardly dare say it, but I have a separate playthrough for each of the ladies. And of course for the single route too 😅
Fabledname 248 Aprko
Can't wait 😁
Jeffrey Pantaleon
Aye! Another Sage and Josy fan. I find myself liking them more than the rest of the girls.
Demis Bandini
Thanks Doc, have a nice weekend. 🍻
Lilatentakel
Hello Doc, Thanks for the update. I can't thank you enough for your efforts and for this masterpiece of a game. What you are delivering is pure madness. You are simply the best 👑 And we are patient because we know it's worth the wait 🥰 I wish you and everyone else a great weekend and stay healthy.
Fantasist
Same, Sage and Josy are my favs too.
Tom W
That is great news . Cant wait to see what you have in-store for us
Nordwolf
Replaying the entire game sounds like a really good plan for next week. Will do that, too!
Nordwolf
Won't happen, brother... but one can dream.
Jeffrey Pantaleon
Can't wait! Ended up doing a fresh playthrough just for Sage and then another focusing on Josy more than Maya.
Fantasist
The doc is delivering as always. So excited!
Finekity
Lets go!!! Can't wait
Tarrgot
I can feel the anticipation in my bones! Thanks for all the hard work DPC :)
Malathus
We appreciate all of your hard work Doc, and look forward to the continuation of the story.
ArchAngel121996
