Philippe D.R.

The way that he was talking in the last paragraph makes me think that he gave himself some kind of personal objective about the release date although he never communicated it to us. I suppose that he wanted to release the episode about the same time as the last one which is in December. I just reassured him that he shouldn't push himself too much and take some time for himself too considering that he's going through a period of mourning. We can wait.

Lucas Santos

Thanks for the update Doc have a nice weekend and dont stress yourself out 💪💪

Sam Korr

indeed, thats's what i've seen so far, BaD is a real benchmark ;-)

Sam Korr

il will^^

John Craig

Yeah they should check out more AVN's. Problem is when you start out with BaD it sets a really high bar...xD

Malathus

I like this game. Tales of the Unending Void, and Leap of Faith.....warning though...LoF can wreck you if you feel for Cece

Christian

Bella is intresting one :) BTW you shoud try other great games :)

Sam Korr

This year I stumbled upon this type of game, as they are (unfortunately) not allowed in my country. I find the concept very interesting, although I have noticed some significant differences in quality. BaD quickly convinced me with its depth, character development, and overall concept, so I decided to use Patreon for the first time. I love the dynamic between Bella and the (P.C.), and I'm already looking forward to the next chapters. Please keep up your excellent work!

Patrick Thrasher

Your work is the pinnacle of the genre sir. We can wait and the great thing about larger content is that it just means we can replay it more and keep discovering new things when it does come out. That said, I still find these updates reassuring because I've had my favorite authors instantly cease writing because 'life happens'. So please continue with your regular updates. :) Cheers, holidays are soon upon us and it's always a bear getting stuff done.

Snickersnack

I'd rather a good product than a quick product. Take your time and take care of yourself!

Jdog

Its all good Doc take your time. I dont know if youre married or have a woman but if you do, lay down in a hammock with her and look at the sky and relax. take some time and recharge we'll be here. if youre single go out with some friends find a single lady and blow her back out. we are patient and pretty much can sense we wont see a new episode for a little bit. thats ok because we know itll be great! relax recharge and get your creative flow goin. its all good.

Kenny

Doc I’m sure I speak for all if not most of us when I say that the quality of your work so far has been sublime and whilst I’m on-the-edge-of-my-seat-ants-in-my-pants eagerly awaiting this release, I am more than happy to wait for good things are worth waiting for. Your fans know your dedication to your work and we want you working at a pace that enables you to meet your standards and not our impatience. Please take your time and take care of yourself. We’ll still be here at finish line!

Bobhiller

I dont think it matters right now. He needs time to heal and get through this. If working on this helps then that's fine but I also think taking time for himself is also important. I'm not worried about when this will come out. I'm worried about him.

Bobhiller

DPC I'm pretty sure that most of us if not all of us agree that you are doing a great job. You've been through a lot this month and we understand your stress. We know that this game takes time and with what happened we understand if you want to slow down a little. We will all be here when you do release the update and we'll be excited to play it whenever it comes out.

Tony Warren

Holy shit with the amount of content that'll be in this episode alone I'd say each playthrough is probably going to take anywhere from an hour and a half to two hours if not longer each yeah, I'm definitely not stressing over how long it's taking because it's going to be a hell of an episode that's for damn sure so keep on keeping on bud.

John Craig

Can we ship you beer or something? You probably should drink a beer. Not a single person here wants you to rush this. I got Space Marine II to keep me company in the mean time. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast, fast is deadly. Later Doc

DIK Jizones

I'm so damn excited! Haha! Thanks for all the hard work. Sounds like it going to be a great Episode!

Fonzy

I have to say I started to play different routes again, refreshing my mind on the different plots. As much as I can't wait to play the continuation, of course ill wait patiently until you are happy with the next episode, as I am sure it will rattle us emotionally and graphically. Take as much as you need, to finalize the last steps to your content, and we are here for you waiting to see the amazing work you accomplished. I play a lot of lewd games, this is one of the best of them, mostly due to multiple well prepared plots, and great hi quality graphics and lewd scenes. Keep up the great work Doc, it is much appreciated.

Rellik6801

i agree time needed to get over and well again, but i never saw a targeted release date did you ?

Rellik6801

great work so we are talking 2025 then for 11 ?

Draeken

Is more PC's not an option?

Lucky Strike

Take your time and do it right man...we will wait patiently and we know itll be worth it

Fabledname 248 Aprko

As long as I get more scenes with my 🐢 I'm happy 😊

Philippe D.R.

Honestly, I would rather wait a little bit longer and get a high quality episode 11 rather than seeing you cutting content to finish at your targeted release date. Take the time that you need and we will happy when your work is done anyway. You've been facing difficult times in your personal life recently and you have the right to take it easy a little bit.

Trayolphia

I’d rather wait longer for something you feel is better. Your content was what helped me get through the plague years, and if you feel things need to be pushed back in order to keep up to your own standards, then so be it

Sam

Perfection can't be rushed. I would rather an episode that you are proud to deliver than something half baked to appease the masses. Love your dedication to delivering the best to your ability and you haven't disappointed to date. Keep up the awesome work Doc

Icemedic

That's what I meant, though. In the game release talk, December is considered soon. But I can get behind the optimism we had the last chapter on Dec 8th last year if I remember right.

jacksonianmckee

You got this DPC. Don’t stress. Take the time. It’s worth the wait.

Yepthatguy

Doesn't matter if doesn't release around the usual time. But on thing that's worrying me about the path of the game, is since the season split it's been a lot harder to motivate myself to go through the paths. And I haven't even completed the last update yet. That and hidden images during scenes instead of only during free roaming, this game has gone down hill IMO. Sorry to come off negative. But it has been a bit dissapointing.

Dušan Smrček

Great and hard work. Wooooow, can´t wait for J+M and others!!!

Big A

Thank you for all the hard work doc. This is integrated stuff it'll take what it takes and we can all enjoy it when done. Take the breaks when you need them it's all good 😊

Jacek

Yes! Agree with the others. Chillax, take your time. The quality of the previous episodes has been spectacular. We have chosen to trust you with this. And will keep on doing so. All the best!

Randall Flagg

All in your time, good sir. You'll get there.

Allen0206

I wonder what he did to make Bella mad at him?

Debonair Sonavar

That sounds incredible! I'm sorry if you feel stressed looking at the big picture, but everyone here is ready to wait. I think a lot of gamers nowadays have taken a stance of "take your time, don't rush game development!"

BBShotGun

Even though I'm sad about the waiting time, I don't want you to cut corners. Take as long as you need dpc

Pappy Trappy

Bro, you always deliver top-notch quality in every aspect of your games. We're willing to wait because we know that what you're delivering is going to be great. Don't let expectations or timelines get to you because most of us would rather wait a few extra months for the expected quality than get a rushed and unfinished product.

Daniel SF

Im truly a fan of your game so far at least 4 years . I still love ep 9 at the beginning of season 3 , Halloween Ep is still the best chapter I ever played in the entire games . The last ep not as good as I expected but I still love to waiting your new ep . Take your time & make us surprise like you always do it .

P L

Although nice, I don't think anyone is honestly expecting is to be done this year. If we can see it first half of 2025 that'd be great! My 2 cents - reign in the amount of side girls, unless there's a new MG. Then flesh out those MGs and SGs.

Mac70

I miss my girls but they’re worth the wait. In Doc we trust ❤️

SludgeMan

This update is hilarious. "We are nearing the end of the development cycle," he says after cataloging a volume of remaining work that's equivalent to many other dev's entire updates. Gotta love the ambition and work ethic!

IFL

Oh, no I with for the tax office. Believe me, no one thanks me for my service!

Schobbob .

Just do your thing and it'll be done when it's done, no need to rush or stress, we all know it'll be worth the wait.

Blacklabyrinth

No pressure Doc. I want it now... but I want it the way your want it to be. I'd rather wait a bit and get the great story you will deliver than get it a couple weeks early and not get the story you wanted to tell.

Christopher Abraham Luciano

Take you time Dr. We'd rather it be great and slow than rushed and buggy.

Javier Zarate

Take your time. We know what you produce will be wonderful.

Matthew Griffin

DPC, as someone who has been here nearly five years, I'll happily tell you I have never been disappointed by your releases or the time it takes you to 'make it right'. Your art and storytelling are top tier because you care so much.

Julian Miranovič Štefanič

With all you've done and the great work you've delivered to this point, I will speak for myself, but probably for quite a few others, too. You do you doc. We'll wait, especially thanks to your weekly updates that keep us in the loop.

Scott

The worst possible thing that could happen in my mind is that your work didn't live up to your vision. I can say from my standpoint that your vision is amazing. You have created a Universe rivaling anything I have ever seen before in a video game forget other AVN's. They don't hold a candle to your work. This is because your vision guides everything you do. You stay true to yourself and the story you want to tell. Never feel stressed about that DPC. Sure everyone wants to play it and cannot wait until it comes out but I would much rather wait until you are satisfied with your final product be it one episode or the game as a whole. This game is my fun escape from the every day grind and it's because you pour your heart and soul into it. Take your time and enjoy what you do. This episode sounds amazing and I'm sure it will be well worth the wait. Besides, your game is so replay able it amazes me. I still laugh and get the feels in certain parts. Have a great weekend and remember to spend time with family and friends.

batyoxide

Cant wait to see ep11. I hope I could see what I wish to see

Justin Richardsn

Can't wait to play it but take your time

Thomas Kain

Please don't fell pressured, there is no reason to hurry. Your game stands out compared to other VNs and episode for episode we can see what you've accomplished. Personally, I rather wait a bit more and have something impeccable to enjoy :-)

Etienne Rosel

Thank you for sharing these information. Based what I read this means this will be a massive episode. And it is better to be done on your own and your PC pace then trying to rush something and not be satisfied with the end result yourself. We will keep waiting until you put the last cherry on that cake.

jake

looking to be quite a big episode take your time

Targonis

You have touched on one of those things that gets missed, keeping the amount of content for all of the characters balanced with each episode. Many games will go heavy on a number of them, and a bit light on several, leading to complaints from those who prefer the ones that didn't get as much content. I doubt there will be any complaints about the episode, except for how long it has taken, but quality takes time, and I'd rather wait for great content than get frequent servings of nothing.

Charles Martin Yamat

I hope you never feel rushed to get this out. The game is so great because of the time you take when you follow your vision. Can't wait to play!

Nordwolf

What an awesome update. Thanks for all the details about the status of the episode. I don't care if some more time is needed until release. Your updates show that it will be a very great episode and I rather wait some longer than knowing you cut soemthing out (what you would not do anyway). And I am looking forward to the hangout and with which girl it will be. I personally like the hangouts of the previous episodes a lot. Have a nice weekend and don't push yourself to much.

jquatro

Recently upgraded my system, so I can see the previous episodes in higher resolution. Which means once again, I 'm replaying the entire game. Take your time, it has always been worth the wait!

Arta

Such an ENORMOUS EPISODE 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯. Good stuff DPC, enjoy your weekend.

Littleletterman

With all these characters we all care about, this was always going to have to be the way to make sure everyone feels their favorite branches get love AND make sure the story progresses too (especially with the cliff hanger we were left on) I'm sure there will be some jerks who won't be ok with the wait, but the ones who've been with you for a while on this journey - who know you update us every week on progress - are completely supportive of you and your process to continue making this game so fun.

M.M.

Aww, I love the fact that the amount left still sounds daunting buuut it's actually near the end of the development cycle, so what it just once again highlights is "OMG, look at the size of it, it's freakin' huge!"

Jonathan Hang

Woooo, still have lots of work... and I'm looking forward to playing and experiencing it all 😛! DPC... you have nothing to stress and worry about. Take your time. Go at your own pace. You ARE making one of the GREATEST AVN EVER! I think I can say for everyone that we LOVE your passion and your ambitious nature. We don't mind waiting however long it takes. We'll patiently wait and continue to support you completely because we know at the end, you ALWAYS delivered. You could take a year or more to work on an EP, and "I'll—STILL—BE—HERE!" And I love reading my weekly updates (it's a part of my routine now) 😁.

MrGamerEyes

one step at a time doc. and also follow your heart. as for me. ill be here patiently waiting for the winter wonderland episode. meantime ill be doing reruns of the game :)

Calhoun28

Thank you for the update and keep up the good work Doc. It will come out when it will come out. Sometimes, you can either do it fast or do it right, not both...

briketsNbiscuits

Take your time and don't stress about it. We know you create gold and won't make us wait for some BS.

OfficerBacon

Yeah Doc, quality over a rushed end every time. Stress less 🤘

SilverThunder

Don't worry about it, Doc. Take your time cooking the best meal for all of us. We'll wait for as long as it takes you to finish it without regrets. Also, the most important thing here is to keep your wellbeing in check, we all know you need a constant reminder for that.

Volker R

Over the past few years, i played a number of AVNs. Some are quit good, others ok and some not so entertaining. But i never felt this connected with the characters in these as with those in BaD. I thing the reason for this is a result of your devotion to your work and the way you handle it. You do it your way and it is working great. A nice weeking for all of you

Jdog

Bring on a lackey to do food errands and get you coffee.

ArchAngel121996

Thats why i said late November to sometime in December

Kurmblog

Doc, we trust you, youve proofed again and again not only that you deliver on each episode but you are raising the roof on each one. You still surprise me on each new release and each playthrough is a delight. We trust you, we trust the process and Im pretty sure that most of the brothers here, we care about you!! At the end of this we want you sane and as healthy you can be. Anyway, unrequested support message finishes here, have a great weekend!

Icemedic

I think that was shot down with the "not done anytime soon" but I believe that is a more then reasonable release schedule (not the date) but the one massive chapter plus fixes a year.

Don Draper

No need to stress; slow and steady wins the race, as we all know.

d3dledger

The fact you do weekly updates is all I need. Other creators might be plugging away, and I support that, but it's hard to tell when you hear from them once every 4-6 months. So thanks for keeping us up to speed.

AfterLife

Doc, in this "relationship" we are in, like developer and community, we share the same goal: a great game and story both side can enjoy. We know you put your heart and soul into this project and we know it'll be top quality, whenever it comes. We are patient, because we know it'll pay off and we can throw our mind out on the window at EP11's cliffhanger ending (like every other time before). But for this, next to work you need to rest too. Please, don't push yourself too hard, bro. Take your time when you feel to rest or to mourn. As I read, it's not an easy time for you, but I'm pretty sure, that most of the community is patient and stands with you. 100%. Stay strong and have a nice weekend!

Alen The ALl-in

Trust me we wont complain if the episode contains a lot. Keep doing at your own speed and we are going to continue supporting you

ArchAngel121996

sounds like it will be 1 chapter per year until book 2 is done and this chapter will be late november/December

Petru O

Such an amazing story and game takes time. We all know this(i hope). Thank you for all the amazing work that you do! Do not stress over this too much. It will be done whem its done! I will continuento wait and support you!

Lucas Santos

Thanks for the update Doc no need to stress art takes its time , keep up the good work and don't stress yourself out

Kalveren

No need to stress too much. you can not do more than one thing at a time. step by step you will achieve your goals. I just wonder if there will be another poll before Dec. and if there will be a poll, I wonder what I could be about.

Jacek Wiśniewski

Damn, it's gonna be massive. Thanks Doc, you're setting new standards, as always. I hope you can get through this in a reasonable amount of time without too much stress

Tim Anderson

Honestly dude, in terms of Visual Novels, Adult themed or otherwise, you are likely going to be one of the GOATS. I know the work your doing is insane and daunting, but the end product is going to be absolutely astounding. I'm hoping when it is all said and done that future creators take your example and push themselves to do more, to make the medium even better.

AngelousDraven

Can't wait you always deliver with each episode.

Andres Reyes

Take your time DPC, there is no rush.

Don

Take your time. Anything worth having, is worth waiting for. I just wish I knew if there is going to be a Zoey route.

Joshua Dershem

Just out of curiosity, would another pc help with the amount of rendering you're doing?

Yannick Raymond

Patience is a vertu. Better take our time and do a great job then to rush things and have a poor quality story. Your doing an amazing job and can't wait for the final result. ☺️

Twinkybot

Yes nothing to add. Rather a good update than a rushed one.

Ty

Take all the time you need! Love your work, the level of quality and polish clearly speak for themselves.

Chaz Mannington

Season 1 was the trunk. Season 2 was the branches. Season 3 is the leaves in the canopy. It is a Herculean task to color every leaf, but if completed a true piece of art will be realized

Craigbk1976

I am exhausted just reading all this. Truly amazing work

Lilatentakel

Hello Doc, Thanks for the detailed DevLog. I think I speak for many here: take as much time as you need. We all know what you are doing and you have a fantastic update in the making. And it's going to be even bigger than the last one. Besides, you've just been through a tough time. And yet you have continued to work on BaD. So once again, take your time, don't stress and release the update when you're ready and happy with it. Thank you for BaD and your commitment. I really appreciate it. Have a nice weekend and stay healthy.

Grimgoblin

Take your time! It's clear how much effort you put in. We'll be happy whenever it releases

Endico24

Is there an estimate on the amount of episodes there will be when all is said and done, because honestly this story could go on for years since mc is in his freshman year, and I doubt if there are changes in the storyline that anyone would get tired of it.

Endico24

What branch are you in, I’m active navy myself

IFL

Better to take your time and release something your happy with. Timing wise, a longer dev cycle might work out perfectly for me, I'm not getting any time off over Christmas this year but I AM up for long service leave in February :)

Alex

You make the best all others are judged by, I'll be happy to wait

Aliragal

At the end of the day we all know we're going to get an extremely well made episode that will be larger than all the rest. If that means waiting a couple more months than expected so be it. I don't think there is any other game in this genre that even comes close to the quality of BAD. The wait will be well worth it!

Waiter

Hmmmm my guess of estimated release date might be next year of January 🤔 if it's fast, then might be end of this year. Either way, I don't mind👍

R2D2TS

Thanks for the update. Your work is worth the wait.

Shad0w45

You deserve a vacation after this Doc! We all love what you do and appreciate your openness with the dev process. Just don't burn yourself out too bad stressing over this. We're all here for the long run.👍

ImN0tDon

Good report doc, can't wait till the episode gets released, take your time with it, no need to rush, as you said before it gets finished when it's finished.

Steve

Rather wait for a good episode and wait impatiently 🤣 than to rush an episode that isn't great l, so keep up the great work

Artem pupsik

Thanks Doc 👌

Lee Wallis

Please done feel like you need to rush it. While I'm sure that we all want to play through the episodefor ourselves, we want it to be the very best that you can do. We love these weekly updates that you give us and it only gives us more confidence that what we will receive will be truly great. Take all the time you need, there is no rush for this great story which will only get bigger with each page. You've done marvellous work so far and I know the latest chapter will surpass is in every way.

roman kulik

Good report, you make amazing game so don’t cut corners just to deliver it early, every chapter was worth the wait, you are making content with such quality that other studios would need more time and definitely more people to make it , so don’t worry and make it how you want because the results are worth it

Richard Doelker

Hey… It’s all good. I’ll wait as much as needed as long as I get another of your masterpieces. That will make the experience even better. Thank you Dr. You’re the GOAT.

forgetful

DPC your episodes are better quality and as of recently have more content than entire games from other creators, it’s completely understandable why it takes the time it does lol, but everybody absolutely appreciates the care you’ve put into your story

Craig

Ooooooof

ohhavoc

Have a nice weekend Doc.

TheUnderlurker

Boss, it sounds as a tremendous effort from you. I am sure Ep11 gonna be top notch quality. I appreciate all your hard work!

MUDD

Take your time. Love to see your best 😊

Mr Rkoon

Thanks for the update Doc, have a nice weekend.

Maxyoo28

Thanks for the update. You did a typo in the animation count paragraph, you said "episode 11 had 335 animations" instead of "episode 10". Have a nice weekend :)
