Status update Episode 6
Added 2020-07-17 09:27:38 +0000 UTC
For the better part of this week, I've been working on the scripts and writing dialogue. I spent a couple of days posing animations as well.
I've made good progress on the script, but I have a lot left to write and code.
My PCs have been rendering animations all week and will continue to do so during the next week.
So, the static render count is the same as last week, but the animation count is now 54 completed animations, plus 17 in the render queue.
I don't know how many animations this episode will have, yet. But it's going to surpass 100.
The episode itself has gotten a title, it will be called:
Episode 6 - Damage control
I don't want to reveal too much about the episode, but it's going to be a long one and have more variation in scenes and settings than episode 5 did.
I've started to post Rooster content on Twitter. If you're not following me there, you can check it out once in a while to see those Rooster previews.

Poll news
This week, +$10 patrons voted in a cosmetic poll for Jill. The winner with the majority vote was option 3.

It will be featured in episode 6.
Soon another cosmetic poll for Sage will start.
Have a nice weekend

TBH after playing AL and how emotional it actually got I don't think I really want to see that in a game. I mean props due @DrPinkCake for being able to script emotion well enough to make it affect the player (at least personally for me) where you do give a shit about the games out comes for a particular character. I felt connected and it made me think whether or not DrPinkCake had something happen personally that make that emotion actually come out.

2020-08-07 02:10:05 +0000 UTCIf that happens in BADIK, I'm outta here. The third act ruined the AL for me and allot of people. Doc, make Bella story be sad, heart-wrenching, exciting, or dramatic, but please don't change the genre. That's not a good idea. Acting Lessons on F95 Zone has a little over 500 pages of posts (many of them people complaining about the abrupt change in theme). BADIK has almost 4000 pages of posts, because we love it. Think carefully before you change what we love into something different. Keep me coming back for more Doc, when this game is all over!

2020-07-26 17:10:07 +0000 UTC@Winter I have to agree. I don't want to see it happen but i think you are right. There is a underlying torment to Bella that seems to be coming to a head.

2020-07-19 16:57:24 +0000 UTCHave you played Acting Lessons ? If so, well, shit still didn't hit the fan yet, I expect a couple of AL type of gut-wrenching scenes and situations...

2020-07-19 14:59:30 +0000 UTCI don't know how many people read the last update post and the comments. So every night for like an hour I Play this game Just to get a real feel for it or just see thing I didn't see the first time. I said in the last Post that the MC is telling his story to someone at the beginning. Just saw that when you go to Bella in Episode 3 after asking Jill out. When she cries The MC talks back like at the beginning if that makes sense. Like hes adding a side note to his story. So Bella might be a Big part of the story near the end. "But if I had known the real reasons to her tears and to her persona... I wouldn't have kissed her that night." This freak me out like goosebumps type. Maybe im overthinking. I need some thoughts.

2020-07-19 06:46:09 +0000 UTCDrP doesn't do ETAs generally until he gets really close to completion. Episode 5 took about ~3 months or thereabouts so I'd expect about the same with Episode 6.

2020-07-18 04:38:22 +0000 UTCProbably a good title. Between the damage with the DIK mansion and Quinn herself doing some major damage control in all aspects of her life we've got a lot of drama ahead to navigate. :D

2020-07-17 11:43:50 +0000 UTCOh dear, you mentioned that the 5th episode was the biggest before, now the 6th is bigger, cool! I'm still trying to control myself and wait until it's finished, even if it will take until next spring lol. I finished Acting Lessons and the first season of DIK in February I guess, and replayed DIK to see different paths in June. Now I just have to know what's in the 5th episode, but I want to play the whole season instead, so somebody help me to be patient lol!!!

2020-07-17 10:57:10 +0000 UTCI think the chapter name should be something else, "Damage Control" reminds me one of the great song from the band Templeton Pek.
