Status update Episode 2
Added 2019-03-15 18:00:03 +0000 UTCStatus update
It's almost scary how fast each week goes by.
I had a lot to do at my IRL work this week, too, but I stayed up later than usual to squeeze out some more dev time.
I would love to work with BADIK full time, but this week it's been evident that it's sadly just my hobby.
I worked hard on the script and posing static renders. Animation wise, I think I have about a handful left to pose, but the render queue has never before been this full of animations.
All I can say is that Episode 2 will have more animations than Episode 1.
For static renders the current count is 553, and honestly it just feels like I got started. Which is pretty funny, because 500 renders is actually a lot.
In terms of completion, I estimate that I'm about the 50% done, but it's so difficult to estimate this. The binary size is currently 1.47 GB after image compression.
I know many of you are anxious for a release date and your enthusiasm really makes me happy, but also stressed at the same time.
I've promised myself to not rush this, as I'm developing my dream game right now. I want to enjoy every second of this.
So, even if I can't promise release dates, I intend to see this through until the end of the game.
Poll results
This week, patrons voted for which main girl who will be featured in the special renders in Episode 2.
As Josy won for Episode 1, she wasn't included in this poll.
The winner by a mere 7 votes is Jill.
Jill 31%
Isabella 30%
Sage 20%
Maya 19%
I will post a preview of Jill's special renders next week.
Shout-out
While you wait for the new update, perhaps there are some other games that you've missed out on.
For instance, The DeLuca Family by HopesGaming, which will have an update very soon.
Or maybe you missed out on the recent release of Timestamps by Motkeyz.
You can get both of these games on their Patreon pages.
What I like about these developers is that they also love making their games and they put so much passion and effort into them!
Have a nice weekend!

I can live with 4GB. It probably won't download without a Mega-imposed delay, but at least I'll get it within a few hours. Thank you.

2019-03-17 18:31:57 +0000 UTCDon't worry, I have plans to split the game into chunks of 4 GB. So, maybe after Episode 4 I will implement this.

2019-03-17 09:11:36 +0000 UTCI just hope that DrPinkCake doesn't make Being a DIK too good, so that he feels that he cannot improve anymore and stop creating games! :P
2019-03-16 18:12:00 +0000 UTCTake all the time you need. The content seems like it will definitely be worth the wait.

2019-03-15 20:19:21 +0000 UTCHi, Thank you for the new update. i thought the first episode was amazing. Please take your time, if the 2nd episode is as good as the 1st id rather wait than for you to rush it and deliver an inferior product.

2019-03-15 18:40:54 +0000 UTCSince each episode is getting quite large, do you have any plans to release the episodes as patches to the previous episode, in addition to altogether? At this rate, you could hit 20GB before you finish the game! Using the free version of Mega, that could take days instead of minutes to download.
