Status update Episode 7
This week I've been writing dialogue and coding phone and free roam content.
I haven't posed many static renders, but I did pose all animations for one lewd scene, and they are currently rendering.
There are 13 animations in the queue, and 173 animations are completed. The duration of the completed animations, so far, is 12 min 15 s; roughly 3.5 minutes longer than episode 6.
I have 2 ½ planned lewd scenes left to pose for, so I will likely overshoot last week's estimate a bit. 200-230 animations total for episode 7 is the new estimation.
Next week, I will continue to write the story and code.
I'm making good progress, but there's a lot left to do under the hood despite the high render and animation count.
So, let me try to paint a picture of the current state of the code for you.
The update's main file has ~7100 lines of code; it can be compared to episode 6 with ~11100.
The free roam code of episode 7 has ~6300 lines; it can be compared to episode 6 with ~5200.
I've mapped out most events in the update, and I have ~30 scenes (normal scenes and including any free roam events and/or hangouts) left to write and pose art for.
The episode will likely be bigger than episode 6 when I'm finished.
The reason updates are getting bigger is that I don't want to cut any story content to fit a deadline.
I'm not counting the lines of code written for the new feature I revealed a few weeks ago (I won't spoil what it is if you chose not to read that update), but content-wise, it has ~600 GUI elements (Rendered and/or photoshopped) and 73 script files.
I hope this gave you a slightly better understanding of what's going on when I say that I'm writing/coding.
In poll news, Titty sucking and Groping/Squeezing won the recent poll for animation types. They will get featured in a lewd scene in episode 7.
Have a nice weekend

OMG (see what I did there?) But seriously.....will I have to choose between Jill and Bella? That’s not fair! I’ll have to start over! 😂😂🤣
I love everyone really. But Jill has already won’t my heart. I really wish more scenes with her.
So excited to resolve things with Maya's father. Yea i'm boinking your daughter!
At least your faster than George R R Martin
As others have said "Always worth the wait", no worries here! 👍
Congratulations the development of the history is awsome ... Continue like this DrPinkCake!!!
God damn if you didn't get me playing D&D with your game. Definitely my favorite part of the game so far! Hope to see of the D&D scenes soon!
Thanks for the update DrPinkCake 🖤
Respects from here! What distincts the BADIK from the rest is the realist storyline, individually constructed characters and the slow built storytelling - and that is an absolut compliment. Suspension builds slowly, and A player must patiently wait the reward. Top work Mr. PC!!
Absolutely have to agree, so easy to connect with every character and the story is phenomenal. Actually had to sit down for a bit following the end of the current update. Plus the music is absolutely killer, best music in a game I've heard in a long long time.
Hi DPC - considering the new feature(s) being included as part of the next update, will we still be getting a patch version for EP 7? Or will it require downloading the entire game?
Patch as usual, and I don't see any future event that would prevent patches for the game duration. Even if the changes were retroactive, patching is usually possible thanks to the modularity of RenPy. With every patch, you always get updated code for any bug fix/change to Episodes 1-current episode.
Thank you so much, as always, for your detailed updates. You're the best, Doc!
probably a April release
no！
It'll come when it'll come. We'll be right here waiting, don't you worry none.
Always worth the wait.
Dont worry about a release date i would rather wait and have no cut content then get it sooner but have stuff cut out
Love it! I hope more Sally in the new chapter.
Thanks for all the hard work, Doc. Looking forward to it.
Quality of your story is indeed more important than the deadline. Thanks for the update Dr PinkCake !
Awesome work, DPC!! Keep it up.
Ayyyyyyy awesome progress!! 🙏🏻😋 :GiveBella:
Hard to remember all the names, but White hair Female. Finally grew on me, turns out she is a scared little girl after all. Hopefully we can save her in episode 7 or 8.
Her name is Quinn and I agree she was very vulnerable in episode 6. I hope we see more of that side of her in future updates.
I can’t wait but I will. Take your time. I’m proud to support this project.
Honestly you can skip the lewd stuff at this point because the story in itself is absolutely fantastic. It's honestly been a while since I've been extremely captivated by a story.
I'm 100% agree. Even though lewd scenes are a +, the story is so well written and told that lewd scenes have, in my opinion, become just a bonus. Keep up the good work and take your time for good quality 👍🙂
Such an official update and then it's capped off with "titty sucking/groping 'n squeezin" lmao
Lol, yeah it's a bit weird being formal only to end on that note. But hey, that's a big part of this gig.
As always flawless in your communication and amazing in your scope. Keep up great work and thank you for all the effort you put in!!!
Thank you for the amazing work! Keep it up.
That lewd scene will be on both consent or one sided, hehe. Gotta know that
Consensual.
Dont focus on deadline. The quality is the most important!
