Status update Episode 11
Added 2024-12-13 13:30:27 +0000 UTC
Happy Friday, DIKs.
This week, I've continued to work on art.
I'm up to 6995 posed static renders - of which 308 are in the render queue.
I'm up to 389 posed animations - of which 66 animation files are in the render queue.
I also added Discord rich presence functionality for Episode 11 this week—I'm almost done with it.
I only have two scenes left to pose, and I estimate I need to pose a maximum of 150 renders before I'm done. I aim to complete this remaining art next week and continue working with Music/SFX and other coding tasks.
I can start polishing the episode within the next two weeks if all goes well.
Have a nice weekend
Dr PinkCake

Years, but yeah.

2024-12-24 19:50:16 +0000 UTCMaybe this will be a teachable moment for Quinn, she may see that this life is going to get people hurt, for real, and maybe change her ways. I don't think Rio will die personally. Though I wouldn't rule it out for someone in the game. We all know the heartbreak of Acting Lessons.
Scott
2024-12-24 17:34:53 +0000 UTCI hope so
Sullivan Kilmister
2024-12-21 18:47:46 +0000 UTCShe has so much potential if we can pull her out of Quinn's orbit
Malathus
2024-12-20 08:39:37 +0000 UTCIt would hurt me so much if Rio gets killed especially because you can finally start the whole dating her with Ep10. Though that might be by design.

2024-12-20 08:26:28 +0000 UTCThis is why I support DPC. You can pay 100 dollars for a game that has maybe 8 hours of content through the triple As, or you can invest in storytelling that has kept me going for several months now.
Malathus
2024-12-18 21:59:33 +0000 UTCDamn, it’s a really impressive game
William Juul
2024-12-18 15:29:42 +0000 UTCSooooo Many replays, and I keep finding new stuff. Little details....like after the Rio incident at the end of Episode 10, if you go back you notice the same panel van shows up as far back as Season 1.
Malathus
2024-12-18 14:34:31 +0000 UTCWell it’s a bit of a let down to go for her in every situation for her only to say that she doesn’t do relationships. Kind of wasted a lot of choices on her if it can’t turn into more but I guess that gives me a reason to replay the game
William Juul
2024-12-18 08:55:07 +0000 UTCI never really warmed to Sarah...She's too mercenary even by HOT standards. She does gain points for calling out Heather and Lily at times
Malathus
2024-12-18 04:04:35 +0000 UTCMan he say's in the last line of this udate that he can start polishing the episode in the next 2 weeks,if all does go well,do not scare them on here,me included
James Mcallister
2024-12-18 01:03:16 +0000 UTCFuck man, I just finished season 3 after 4 days of basically spending most of my time playing the entire game. I fucking loved it. I wanted to turn Sarah into my girlfriend but she seems like she can’t commit lol. Anyway, now I’m deeply in love with Zoey instead. Holy shit, that look she gave the main character before she left the thanksgiving party was just something else!
William Juul
2024-12-17 23:24:44 +0000 UTCCan we throw Quinn under the bus to save Rio?
Malathus
2024-12-17 22:12:06 +0000 UTCYeah, one more episode after this one before the season 3 release... so... soon is probably 2026 EOY unless the fourth episode goes quickly.
Jason P
2024-12-17 15:09:26 +0000 UTCDPC, Ive been doing more playthroughs and I would really hate for Rio to be kidnapped and killed, Shes such a sweet girl underneath what Quinn has her doing. I know the story is already in motion, I just am hoping we have a way to get her out.
Malathus
2024-12-17 03:49:35 +0000 UTChold onto that worry :O
Jerry Edwards
2024-12-17 03:03:02 +0000 UTCHey Dr! I finaly played acting lessons. Let's just say I hate you for the harsh choice at the end.. but the game was really good. But now I am very worried about riona..
Sullivan Kilmister
2024-12-16 18:29:36 +0000 UTCCan also see it in the walkthrough screenshot on steam
Pancakes
2024-12-16 17:46:09 +0000 UTCYou are right I just rewatched the Epi 9 intro and it is coming out of that locked door. That makes it even more ominous IMO
Malathus
2024-12-16 03:40:41 +0000 UTCHe already said somewhere that there will be an episode 12 in Season 3.
Philippe D.R.
2024-12-15 20:21:00 +0000 UTCI believe it will be 4 episodes as usual based on the Steam page description
Cayde
2024-12-15 19:22:11 +0000 UTCThose 66 animation files that DPC mentions in this post will take quite a while to render out. Could be months still even at top speed. Then after they are done, there is beta testing, fixing bugs, and polishing. Going to be a bit but it drops when it drops.

2024-12-15 17:30:33 +0000 UTCMy drunk Hallucination of a soldier in the corner of the sitting room......or was it? Also the wall frame that got lowered and Bella turned and looked at it. Something definately going on.
Malathus
2024-12-15 17:20:41 +0000 UTCis season 3 only gonna have 3 episodes?
Jay C
2024-12-15 17:15:04 +0000 UTCTo me it looked as if the man in that scene came from the room that is permanently locked. Seemed to me as if something really bad happened there. MC and me want to know what is in that room. I refuse to stay one further night in this house before seeing the room!
Nordwolf
2024-12-15 16:01:55 +0000 UTCLooked like there was seating for 8 is my only reason for thinking its foreshadowing, but I hope you are right. I always took the comments about him being missing and might still come back as him being in the military but thats just an assumption on my part.
Malathus
2024-12-15 01:09:26 +0000 UTCThe way you're talking about it, it feels like there isn't all that much remaining to do before final release! This makes me very enthusiastic! We might be able to play it in January! :) I can't wait to continue my game on Jill's path!
Philippe D.R.
2024-12-14 22:41:07 +0000 UTCI personally interpreted it as a flashback rather than as a premonition, but who knows. I was suspecting that her husband might have disappeared around Christmas 3 years ago and that the approaching holidays might make Bella struggle with those memories. We shall see soon enough I guess!
Philippe D.R.
2024-12-14 22:38:37 +0000 UTCAll that work and posting an in-depth report. That's why I'll stick with DPC without question.
Julian Miranovič Štefanič
2024-12-14 15:48:00 +0000 UTCWhen you're online on Discord there's an extra subtitle that says something like "teaching Sage Guitar" or something depending on what you're doing in game lmao, not something I'll be advertising to my friends but it's a cool feature
D T
2024-12-14 15:21:08 +0000 UTCChristmas theme....pans out...one table knocked over with what looks like blood but no one arround and someone approaches the open door from the outside with the haunted house theme playing.
Malathus
2024-12-14 02:40:31 +0000 UTCThanks Doc! I’ve got to tell you I’m on the edge of my seat and gripping… hard! Can’t wait to see your work!

William Juul
2024-12-13 22:22:26 +0000 UTCWhat does Discord rich presence functionality mean? Other than not understanding that everything sounds great. Have a great weekend DPC, DiKs.
Scott
2024-12-13 22:08:00 +0000 UTCWhat happened at Bellas? I can't remember

2024-12-13 16:19:58 +0000 UTCHello Doc, Thanks for the DevLog. It's hard to believe how quickly the finish line is coming into view. No matter how or why, don't let yourself be rushed. BaD is a masterpiece and masterpieces take time. So take all the time in the world and release the update when you're happy with it. We'll give you all the time in the world. Best wishes, have a nice weekend and stay healthy.

2024-12-13 15:59:43 +0000 UTCI keep coming back to that Chrismas opening before the holloween party and something looks to have gone horribly wrong at Bellas. That along with Rio getting kidnapped....some real anxiety
Malathus

I don't know which folder name I need to replace the one from the info post with since I am trying to install season 1-2!

2024-12-13 14:14:28 +0000 UTCThis is sounding great DPC, the most exciting time is almost upon us.

2024-12-13 14:06:01 +0000 UTCWe were just discussing the presence of the word "polishing" in the dev. log and what it means and here we have it. Damn Friday the 13th might not be that bad after all. Thanks DPC
