Status update Episode 12
Happy New Year! I hope you're all safe and sound and had a great New Year's Eve.
The holidays are over for me, and now it's back to the full-time grind. I haven't got a lot to report on this week, but here's what I've been up to.
I've mainly been working on a scene with many characters, and I'm almost done. It has involved posing both animations and static renders; the scene is heavily branched, which makes it long. And I don't mean it has 5-6 variations; it's more like 15-20 (I'm scared to count).
During days when I couldn't get much work done because of the holidays, I worked on adding phone content to the episode and wrote dialogue.
I'm close to reaching another milestone for episode 12 - hopefully, I'll reach it next week.
There's nothing new to what I'll be focusing on next week, but I think I have a decent enough animation queue now so that I can work more on static renders. Working on this big free roam event for these past - how many? - weeks, has made me want to work on other areas of the episode, but I'll likely keep going until I'm done.
Since I saw it was mentioned, I will do the annual Q&A later this year, as I want to focus on completing Season 3 development first.
Have a nice weekend

hey guys, new here. Heard about this game from a friend back home when I visited for the holidays and dying to jump right in
Welcome maggot (you will understand that while playing)! Depending on your tier you can download the released seasons and episodes and start right away. Have fun :-)
Is there a German translation?
No, only English. But you can see it as an educational game now ;-)
Your games are (IMHO) the benchmark for the genre. Thank you for committing to further development. I read every update you post.
From what I've tried, and there were quite a few other very well-rated stories after BaD literally got me started on this genre, I can say that this story game holds a very high overstandard among the others and it's definitely worth waiting a little longer and letting the idea and plot develop rather than rushing. I'm excited that in this story game the dialogues are going somewhere and there's not just rambling about nothing and pointless animations, but everything has its purpose.
Episode 11 released somewhere around March 2025 And ever since you have been making a lot of progress with episode 12 , you’re getting used to this so much! Big respect DPC! At this rate season four could only take 2-3 years to be completed!
More like 4-5 years
Appreciate your responsiveness as always regarding updates. I wish a few more creators would keep us in the loop as well as you do. Take care. 👍
Nice one DPC. Have a great year!
Awesome
Happy New Year, above all, good health and lots of creative ideas for continuing the game and once again a big thank you for such a branched and at the same time very elaborate story, hats off. I have never been approached by these stories before and if it weren't for AI I wouldn't even know about it but during the conversation he very warmly recommended me to try this story game that I would definitely like it and I was surprised that he really wasn't kidding and Being a DIK is like the moon in the night sky among other story games, where a brighter star appears here and there, but none of them shines as brightly for us as a full moon. We keep our fingers crossed and look forward to the next sequels 🤗♥️♥️♥️👍
Hny!
Happy New Year DPC! Hope you enjoyed the holidays.
Happy New Year, Pink, and of course to all DIKs and HOTs here, too! I appreciate that you postpone the Q&A. With that many patrons around here, this could be easily a week of work to answer all questions. I am so looking forward to the episode. 15-20 variations of one scene is nuts. I am always fascinated how you are able to keep track of everything. OK... have to go now count and analyze my savegames regarding the possible variations :-D
GOOD FRIDAY AFTERNOON 🌥, DPC AND EVERYONE!!! The first update of the New Year 🥳🎉!!! I hope everyone had wonderful back-to-back Holidays 🎁🎄🎅/🎆🎇🧨😁!!! The back-to-back Holidays were nice. I had a nice two-day break for both weeks. But unfortunately… that means I also lost two days of pay for both 😅. And with how much I spent during the four months (Oct/Halloween 🎃👻, Nov/Thanksgiving 🦃🍽, Dec/Christmas 🎁🎄, and Jan/HNY 🎆🎇). Every paycheck counts 🤣. Financial black holes for me, these Holidays always are 😂. But… WE MADE IT 😅… Another year older 😅!!! Another year with DPC 😁!!! Going on Year 4 (Aug 2022)!!! Every news/progress is always welcomed 😁! Nice work and hustle, DPC! Love the grind 😉. It inspires confidence 😁! I'll count for you 😅. Let's see… I have, like, 16 playthroughs. Some might have more 😅. I'll just say you made a lot of variations 🤣. Another milestone for EP 12 😳! Wow 😛! "Years… You have been working on the Big Free Roam event for many years… 😅… Our OWN children are going to fall in love with BAD at this point 😂. And BAD will still be out before GTA 6 🤣." Oh… yeah… It's too early for a Q&A… I felt like the previous one wasn't that long ago 😅. As always, thanks for the Update, DPC! Keep on keeping on 😉!!! ALWAYS EXCITED AND EAGERLY WAITING FOR YOUR GAME AND READING YOUR POSTS 🙌🏻🔥!!! Love and appreciate everything! You ❤️, our BAD ladies 😍, our Maggots/Hot Sisters, your posts 🥰, your previews/renders 😘, and your games ❤️! Always make my days better 🌈! Thank you, everyone, always, for being in my life and being a part of my weekly routine 😉! As always, take your time working and perfecting this masterpiece 🎨🖼✨️, DPC. Keep raising 🙌🏻 the bar and standards 😉. WAITING EXCITEDLY ⚡️!!! ALWAYS AMPED 💪🏻!!! AND READY TO PLAY 😛🔥!!! Stay safe, stay blessed, and stay in PERFECT health, beautiful people!

Also happy new year!!
Did you build the phone from scratch? I feel one of the q and a answered this but I couldn't find.
All code except the actual game engine, I wrote from scratch. The phone has been the most fun part of it all to code because of the many different apps. :)
Happy New Year!!
Happy New Year Doc!
Happy New Year, Doc!
