Dev Log Ep4 Week 7: Always Listen To The Advice of Your Friends
Welcome to McDonald's, can I take your order?
Oh, it's you again. Meet me round the back in five. I'm on thin ice here.
Right, now my manager can't hear us, we can discuss what I've been up to where that prick Jerry can't spoil my fun. I swear, you reheat your KFC on the grill one time and he treats you like shit. Guy's married to the brand.
Anyway, let's start with the topic of the title. Friends. Not the '90s hit sitcom. I don't know anyone who would think it's a good idea to include a Friends pop quiz anywhere in relation to their game...
So my good friend (I swear he's my friend, he doesn't know it yet, but he is), Mister Maya, and Volos, the guy behind Demon Seed, sat me down over the weekend along with a few of my other loved ones, who all seemed really concerned about me.
I don't know why everyone got together. They kept going on about some invention or something. Who knows.
Anyway, they seemed really interested in talking about my welfare and my plans for Episode 4, so I laid out everything I had planned. The whole episode. I have no idea how long I was talking. I blacked out for a while, but I think after about an hour they stopped me and said, "Dude, I don't think you can fit all of that into one episode. Plus it'll take you at least a year, and people who enjoy Moonlight don't want to wait a year for an update."
It was a hard chat to have, but honestly I'm glad they coincidentally all got together and I just happened to stumble across this little gathering of everyone relevant to my life.
So after they talked me off the ledge and convinced me to let Jerry go because I had taken him hostage with a broken KFC spork, I decided to hear them out.
Here's the crack.
To wrap this season up, I'm going to have to split what I've written into two episodes. It won't change the total development time, but it will mean you get more Moonlight, more sooner, and more...
Moore.
Did Roger Moore's kid ever get back to me about voicing Jack?
He wants how much?
Fuck that.
Less Moore, but still more, I guess.
Anyway, that's that. I never did find out what they were inventing.
This week I finished the animation for this cut scene. I still have to wait for it to render out because it's an absolute beast and it's killing my 5090, but I'm now free to get back to stills and I am so god damn excited.
That's all from me this week.
Don't forget, next time you're investigating a crime and all you've got to go on are fingerprints, don't rule out the humble clap bear.
Koalas are evil, and they will frame you.
Peace,
Bat

Please Please don't go down the Dr. Pinkcake route i meen don't get me wrong i Love "Being a DiK" but a year or more between updates no no no no please not that...............:o
That's not the plan don't worry. I was pretty much saying that above. The plan was to do 4 episodes for this season, but its gonna have to be 5 to tell the story properly. Keeping it to 4 would mean having to wait a year for an update, and I don't want that at all. so two normal-sized updates instead of one mega-huge, year-long update makes more sense.
Your logs are one of the highlights of my week, thanks BatMan! I would say take it easy and keep your sanity but we both know, your grip on reality is tentative at best! This is not a bad thing, we all know genius comes with certain... stuff! Have a fantastic week mate 👍 😀
Glad the chat with the other devs went well and even convinced you to let your hostage go. And the end of season in 2 episodes but more Moonlight. All for it. Let us hope the tattoo was all that and did not lead to anything strange.
GOOD TUESDAY AFTERNOON 🌥, BAT AND EVERYONE!!! "No... I am not using the mobile app. Yes, can I have 2 large fries, 2 double cheeseburgers, and 2 McChickens? "That's my usual Micky D order. I LOVE THE FRIES 😋! What?! No, man... I just want my food... oh, alright... I'll meet you in the back. *Sighed and pulled into a parking space.* "WHO STILL EATS AT KFC 😂🤣😂🤣?! Maybe you DO deserve it 😅." Bat tattooing MayaMan's butt 😂. I can't read the word, but I think it spells Tako. Why does MayaMan have Tako-YA on his butt 🤣? I love Friends. Oh... not the sitcom 😐. "Umm, friends, who cares 😂?" Great... you got me humming/singing the theme song 🎧🎶. Sounds like he's your BEST FRIEND to me (MayaMan 😅). Oh, the boys got together without telling us. What did you guys do 😛? Share it with me! I won't tell a soul 😅. Plot twists: They're not really here to check up on Bat. They're really here to check on the game. (JK, JK 🤣) Actually, I wouldn't mind waiting a year or however long it takes. I mean, other AVNs have taken a year or longer 😅. You love kidnapping people still. That's your go-to motto 😂. Thank god for Jerry's safety. And you're so getting reported to HR 🤣. Do what you got to do, bossman 🫡. You can afford the kid. You paid the live-action Moonlight cast, didn't you 🤑💰? Nice on finishing the animation for the scene. I can't wait to see it in action 🎬😋. My Batman is CLEARLY traumatized by koalas 🐨🤣. All they do is eat leaves and sleep... unless... that's their cover-up 😱. As always, thanks for the Dev Log, Batman! Keep on keeping on 😉!!! ALWAYS EXCITED AND EAGERLY WAITING FOR YOUR GAMES AND READING YOUR POSTS 🙌🏻🔥!!! Love and appreciate everything! You ❤️, your ladies 😍, your posts 🥰, your previews/renders 😘, and your game ❤️! Always make my days better 🌈! Thank you, Bat and the Bat Family for being in my life and being a part of my routine 😉! Stay safe, stay blessed, and stay in PERFECT health, beautiful people! And don't forget to stay hydrated! And you're never alone ❤️🫶🏻🫰🏻!!! OUR AVNS AND OUR DEVS CONNECTS US ALL 🤗!!! Have an amazing and beautiful week! I'll catch you all—ON THE NEXT ONE ✌🏻😁!!!
I don’t trust the clap bears who gave them the clap, why have they got so much of it, can we cure koala stds before GTA 6 find out on the next episode of Bat n Friends
Could you please tattoo Lemons face on my face?
And Volos's face on my tattoo face on his face please
Good Work Bat, (and the gang of Good friends and Loved ones). And lets hope the 5090 pulls through this ordeal <3
It's cooking me today so warm in this office
If all you have are fingerprints, your investigation is in real trouble. Splitting chapters/episodes happens. Don't sweat it. We know it is not ideal, but the product will be better in the end. That is what we want, big guy. Spend the necessary time to make each part what you want. We're all rooting for you; keep your stick on the ice.
Cheers bud
What
It's obvious...
Let's tattooing
