Status update Episode 8
Added 2021-07-30 13:19:40 +0000 UTC
While my PCs are working on the animation queue, I've spent this week producing static renders and designed free-roam environments.
I completed a bit more than half of the art for this particular free-roam event, so I expect to finish it next week.
After that, I will continue to pose static renders of normal scenes. I don't have an accurate estimation of this progress. I did play the episode for a bit the other day, and I could play ~1.5 hours without any gaps in missing art.
I estimate what's left in the animation queue to be the equivalent of 6000-8000 frames.
I've gotten many questions regarding the Steam version of Season 2, and I aim to work on it full-time around the Patreon release of episode 8 before starting any work on Season 3. There will be more information about it in the not too distant future.
Have a nice weekend

Will you be doing seasons like Semesters? Or is it just a few in game weeks at a time?

2021-08-03 05:25:57 +0000 UTCDrP has said he does not intend to ever hire extra staff. Reason for it is because he is a perfectionist and would be looking over their shoulder(s) constantly and nitpicking every little detail. I think he should do a hostile takeover of EA as a whole and fire every one of those morons that give EA such a horrible reputation. I'm happy though with him just going as he has been. Might burn him out to take on too much, like multiple game at once.

2021-08-01 18:54:24 +0000 UTCWell, it makes perfect sense)
The Exception
2021-08-01 10:02:55 +0000 UTCI have had perpetual blue balls since the first little hint of Bella becoming the star of one of your top notch animated scenes (truly in this game in regards to renders and animated scenes I have spent a lot of time, more time than I care to admit, trying to find a better or even equal yours) I mean that would have been enough to get me but then you go and make the game actually fun (sometimes I just get on there to play the fighting mini game lol and the storylines worth investing in. You should seriously consider hiring help and expanding your studio to the level of multiple games developing at once because I realised when I went back and played your first one after I liked being a dik so much that you were just as good at then just didn’t have the time or equipment to get so detailed and creative. Anyway looking forward to the release in the morning Wish I could donate more

2021-08-01 01:40:47 +0000 UTCI can honestly say this game is one I keep coming back too - keep plugging away, I enjoy just slapping the nerds in the fighting game!

2021-07-31 22:33:09 +0000 UTCUsually a few months between episode releases and the last episode was released at the start of May. I'm hoping for an August release but more realstically september or October TBH

2021-07-31 21:09:46 +0000 UTCPicked this up last week and I've laughed a lot. Great work Doc. Hate to ask a few repetitive questions but I don't know that I can find it among all the posts and comments. Any eta on episode 8? Any hint as to how many chapters there will be? Great work on Acting Lessons, too. Fun game

2021-07-31 18:59:25 +0000 UTCWhen I first found this game, I was for the sex scene, but as the game progressed, I was fascinated by the plot. You are a great game maker.

2021-07-31 18:57:45 +0000 UTCYes, you can install Windows on the Steam Deck, but why would you want to? Navigating Windows without a keyboard and mouse is a pain, Steam probably wouldn't offer support for it if something went wrong, plus the Steam version of BaDIK and AL is so much cheaper than a Windows license...

2021-07-31 15:39:17 +0000 UTCYou can just install "Windows" on Steam Deck and play Patreon version.

2021-07-31 02:40:39 +0000 UTCSpeaking of Steam, now that they’ve announced their Steam Deck handheld device, you’ll be able to take BaDIK (and all your other games) around with you…so an update on that version would be great…

2021-07-30 18:30:46 +0000 UTCWait it sooo much ...
2021-07-30 18:14:40 +0000 UTCno it's the same game. Only diffrence is patreon version gives you each episode on its release while Steam packs 4 episodes together and gives you a season. But the gameplay experience is exactly the same in both versions.
