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

2025-01-24 06:55:12 +0000 UTCthat 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
2025-01-24 06:52:40 +0000 UTCthis 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 :)

2025-01-23 21:36:27 +0000 UTCBasically 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

2025-01-22 15:42:06 +0000 UTCThis gonna be a huge plate of spaghetti when it's all said and done.
Nicholas Nail
2025-01-20 16:47:54 +0000 UTCTo 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.
Malathus
2025-01-20 03:06:09 +0000 UTCNot 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.
Cosmic_Sai
2025-01-19 22:44:34 +0000 UTCEpisode 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
Malathus
2025-01-19 19:37:20 +0000 UTCIt'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.

2025-01-19 13:15:21 +0000 UTCyes
Sadie Adler
2025-01-19 13:14:31 +0000 UTCSo does that mean the game will be completed sometime between mid-February and March?

briketsNbiscuits
2025-01-18 22:10:56 +0000 UTCSteam 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.
Scott
2025-01-18 20:08:01 +0000 UTCOh I actually have no idea, I just assumed :P
Adam Mossakowski
2025-01-18 20:01:30 +0000 UTCIt 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. 😁

2025-01-18 19:26:46 +0000 UTCYou'd be surprised.
CST1992
2025-01-18 19:14:57 +0000 UTCIs it coming on Steam? I'd think we have to wait till EP12 end for that, which is a year+ away.
CST1992
2025-01-18 19:14:18 +0000 UTCPlus if they are good at their job Playtesters break crap you didn't even think of.
Malathus
2025-01-18 16:51:03 +0000 UTCVery exciting! Ready for purchase on steam day one! :D

2025-01-18 15:44:17 +0000 UTCI bet ya do ya read it enough 😏
Frosty
2025-01-18 09:47:24 +0000 UTCBeta testing is done by others. It's the same when you read your own texts... normally you don't see your own spelling mistakes.
Nordwolf
2025-01-18 09:46:49 +0000 UTCSo if your playing the game front to back multiple times....don't you think that counts as your beta testing phase?
Frosty
2025-01-18 09:45:16 +0000 UTCUnfortunately 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.

2025-01-18 08:45:39 +0000 UTCThe release is getting so palpable! Let's go!

2025-01-17 22:34:52 +0000 UTCAwesome stuff Dr Pink, excited for the episode and the many playthrough that will follow.
Tim Anderson
2025-01-17 22:13:18 +0000 UTCSounds great DPC! I'm getting psyched for the episode. Have a great weekend DPC, All.
Scott
2025-01-17 21:04:25 +0000 UTCThanks for the update. I am stoked.
R2D2TS
2025-01-17 20:57:59 +0000 UTCMight be too soon but a Valentine’s Day release would be awesome. If overestimating the time needed for the rest of the animations.
Chris Martin
2025-01-17 20:44:57 +0000 UTCNice! 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 ✌🏻😉!

Artem pupsik
2025-01-17 19:27:33 +0000 UTCIn 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
Craigbk1976
2025-01-17 19:22:58 +0000 UTCIncredibly jealous you get to play the game! Thanks Doc can hardly wait!
Kenny
2025-01-17 19:13:01 +0000 UTCI 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
2025-01-17 18:34:48 +0000 UTCAnd 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.
Nordwolf
2025-01-17 18:30:31 +0000 UTCCan't imagine what your save file section looks like 😂. I'm betting each girl and Others have about 50 pages a piece.
Ldub
2025-01-17 18:26:14 +0000 UTCIn the last month I played all the girls except Bella!
Heraclivs
2025-01-17 18:25:22 +0000 UTC😂
Lilatentakel
2025-01-17 18:00:40 +0000 UTCI can only agree with the previous speaker: it's really worth playing every lady in her story, including Quinn's story.
Lilatentakel
2025-01-17 18:00:08 +0000 UTCSame 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. 😂
Jeffrey Pantaleon
2025-01-17 17:59:03 +0000 UTCI 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.
Lilatentakel
2025-01-17 17:57:26 +0000 UTCcan't wait for the update to be out keep up the good work
chris
2025-01-17 17:57:10 +0000 UTCThanks 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
Calhoun28
2025-01-17 17:56:27 +0000 UTCOnly MJ and Sage? I would say, you missed 75% of the game :-D
Nordwolf
2025-01-17 17:56:24 +0000 UTCYeah 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.
Jeffrey Pantaleon
2025-01-17 17:55:51 +0000 UTCAt 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 😅
Lilatentakel
2025-01-17 17:55:08 +0000 UTCYeah 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!
Jeffrey Pantaleon
2025-01-17 17:54:49 +0000 UTCI understand that only too well. I have lots of subfolders where I store all the saves...and this folder is big 🫣
Lilatentakel
2025-01-17 17:52:36 +0000 UTCThanks for the update. It seems we are getting close now. :-)
JEH
2025-01-17 17:51:02 +0000 UTCFellow DIKs, the light at the end of the tunnel can be seen.
ZackNero03
2025-01-17 17:51:00 +0000 UTCI 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
2025-01-17 17:50:45 +0000 UTCI 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
2025-01-17 17:48:13 +0000 UTCI repeat myself: It is always worth playing this game from the beginning 😅
Lilatentakel
2025-01-17 17:44:05 +0000 UTCOnly way to do it. I will be doing the same.
John Craig
2025-01-17 17:42:32 +0000 UTCI think Doc certainly has enough people here...and as with any developer, these are people he knows and trusts 😅
Lilatentakel
2025-01-17 17:42:29 +0000 UTCIt is always worth playing this game from the beginning 👍
Lilatentakel
2025-01-17 17:40:17 +0000 UTCNice one DPC. Enjoy your weekend.
Arta
2025-01-17 17:35:18 +0000 UTCAmen!
Richard Doelker
2025-01-17 17:27:41 +0000 UTC@Lilatentakel, I have so many saves and playthroughs it's embarrassing lol
Fantasist
2025-01-17 17:27:22 +0000 UTCI'm thinking more likely it'll be at the earliest end of February but more likely early to mid March before we see release.
Joshua Dershem
2025-01-17 17:27:10 +0000 UTCOMG, OMG, OMG!!!
Richard Doelker
2025-01-17 17:26:40 +0000 UTCSame 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. 😂
Jeffrey Pantaleon
2025-01-17 17:26:28 +0000 UTCMay have to delete my saves and start again from the beginning stoked for this

2025-01-17 17:25:24 +0000 UTCFacts
Jeffrey Pantaleon
2025-01-17 17:22:46 +0000 UTCDon'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. 😆
Jeffrey Pantaleon
2025-01-17 17:22:13 +0000 UTCHow do you become a beta tester?
Brownaaa
2025-01-17 17:21:53 +0000 UTCIts becoming real!! Have a great one doc!
Kurmblog
2025-01-17 17:21:30 +0000 UTCI prefer February if he can do the finishing touches.
Lilatentakel
2025-01-17 17:20:22 +0000 UTCJosy on top though
Gynics
2025-01-17 17:19:58 +0000 UTCThanks! Can't wait for the new episode. I've recently replayed cause I missed a lot of things doing only MJ and Sage.
Heraclivs
2025-01-17 17:19:14 +0000 UTCI hardly dare say it, but I have a separate playthrough for each of the ladies. And of course for the single route too 😅
Lilatentakel
2025-01-17 17:19:10 +0000 UTCCan't wait 😁
Fabledname 248 Aprko
2025-01-17 17:19:02 +0000 UTCAye! Another Sage and Josy fan. I find myself liking them more than the rest of the girls.
Jeffrey Pantaleon
2025-01-17 17:19:00 +0000 UTCThanks Doc, have a nice weekend. 🍻
Demis Bandini
2025-01-17 17:16:47 +0000 UTCHello 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.
Lilatentakel
2025-01-17 17:16:36 +0000 UTCSame, Sage and Josy are my favs too.
Fantasist
2025-01-17 17:16:19 +0000 UTCThat is great news . Cant wait to see what you have in-store for us
Tom W
2025-01-17 17:14:09 +0000 UTCReplaying the entire game sounds like a really good plan for next week. Will do that, too!
Nordwolf
2025-01-17 17:12:21 +0000 UTCWon't happen, brother... but one can dream.
Nordwolf
2025-01-17 17:11:38 +0000 UTCCan't wait! Ended up doing a fresh playthrough just for Sage and then another focusing on Josy more than Maya.
Jeffrey Pantaleon
2025-01-17 17:11:02 +0000 UTCThe doc is delivering as always. So excited!
Fantasist
2025-01-17 17:10:56 +0000 UTCLets go!!! Can't wait
