Status update Episode 6
🕑 Added 2020-08-28 15:42:39 +0000 UTC
This week I've been writing dialogue, coding, producing GUI elements and working hard on my checklist. PCs have been rendering animations non-stop.
Currently, we're at 2144 completed static renders and 88 animations (And 1000+ GUI files, which I never count for these updates, but episode 6 will introduce multiple new features that needed extra work). I can't wait to read your reactions to these new features upon release.
32 animations are in the queue waiting to render. I estimate that I have ~50 more animations to pose on top of that, but it can be more and it can be less. I'll know for sure when I start working on the remaining lewd scenes.
I usually allot a number of animations per lewd scene before working on it and then tune the number if it's needed afterward. That's why it's hard to give accurate estimates without limiting creativity.
Static render wise I'm still feeling 3000+ is a feasible number for this huge episode.
Since I have written dialogue this week, I can go back to posing static renders next week but also continue writing.
I'll give you an update on the checklist progress next Friday and hopefully, it can be of a more detailed nature as it's gotten significantly shorter already.
It's full speed ahead on my end.
Have a nice weekend

I never have been so enchanted by a choice game of sort. If anything from the music to the art to the scenes, choreography of the story; the DEPTH of each character has the nostalgia/sentimental vibe. In god speed we'll wait for the update! Stay healthy and safe! Thanks again for pulling on our FEELS!

@T'gran: It did end with a cliff hanger, but i have to say, it was well placed; personally i would have called episode 5 a great place to end book 1 and maybe called Book 2 Being a DIK - Project Phoenix.
T'Gran
I'm just happy episode 5 didn't end with a cliffhanger, like ep 4. The wait would have been a torture))

May i make a request, is it possible to do something about the text as most of the time i can barely read it. The backgrounds are often the same color for significant parts, maybe no one has mentioned this before, maybe no one finds it an issue, could just be my poor eyesight or something to do with how the ROG Strix screen renders it's output.

Take your time man! Make sure to take a break and enjoy some "me time" in between all those tasks! You deserve it.

This post makes me happy. Nuff said.

I kind of sympathize with this comment. Being a Dik, and Acting Lessons aswell, really put a new golden standard up there to which none other seem to be able to compete with. I've tried so many others here on Patreon, aswell as on Steam, and there's really no competition. There are good ones that works while waiting for another episode of BaDIK but they're not nearly as immersive and are mostly too formulaic, which render them too predictable and thus not as interesting to follow.

Thank you

Iβm expecting our MC to end as rustyβs cousin.
Dion Hyden
This is like the size of 2 episodes in one i love it
lIlIlIlIlIIIIIIIIllllIII
That sounds a lot more realistic haha, not sure what the time-frames are based on what he says in the status updates
Johnny P
Seems like this episode will be bigger than some entire games
MLink
Can't wait to see Josy and Maya or Jill, haha, oh my.

does anyone think a theory that MC mom is still alive is crazy? I think its not by accident that the MC tells almost every character in the story at one point or another that she died. I thought of 2 scenarios... 1) MC mom left when he was born b/c she got cold feet and ran off.... dumb i know but how about 2) Her rich family who did not want her with Neil pressured her into moving or leaving and threatening her if she didn't... it is probably a stupid idea and she is prolly dead but it is not impossible that I am right
Sander Damen
I'm new to your game, and just loved the stories and animation. Thank you for the hard work!
Flover

BunnyRabbit
I can't wait for the fourth quarter. It is nice to have something good to wait for.
MacTaggert
I have just jumped into the world of Daz and learning all the bits and pieces. That said, I can now FULLY appreciate the amount of time, effort, and energy that DPC puts into his work. I certainly salute you and all the things that you have done and look forward to seeing what is over the horizon. And, I am very happy to support this effort. Have a great weekend!
Stephen Birdsong
Iβve become slightly obsessed with this game. Itβs so well put together. Brilliant, and sometimes heartbreaking, story. Amazingly designed characters, better than any Iβve seen before. And the characters themselves are just ridiculously good.
Phillip
Nice update Doctor, thanks
Messè

Argos
September? No way. I think late October could be more accurate. Or November. I don't expect it before that. But is ok, quality
Andre
