No need to do that because there aren't any other games producing 7k+ renders for an update. DPC's been at the top of production quantity for some time now, even when he was producing 5k+ renders. There's not another game I know of that has that much content per update.

We should stop talking about "renders per update" and use only metrics that correlate time and content produced, like "renderings per day". Some developers are publishing updates every three months, now are more rare. I prefer (for example) 15% less content but with a shorter update timeframe than waiting more than a year, having forgotten a lot of the plot.

For this episode he has produced less static images than what he did in Season 1 (also compared to a daily base), but he increased the number, fps and probably the duration of the animations (that are now blocking the start of the Beta testing).
I hope ElectronicRoberts will give us some stats about the dialogues and other code produced, so we can compare with previous episodes and guess what's slowing him down.

I have a wish for the guys that are producing statistics and useful analysis about BaD: why don't you open a common blog on Blogger/Thumblr or similar with just those kind on posts, so they are not dispersed into this messy thread?

ep's6&7 are smaller than ep11 by 55 renders if they was one ep it would had been done in 11 months. DPC has always had great output but with these massively long dev times it no longer has great value for that output.

But at least we around a month haft from this being over

comparing one season (4 eps) numbers to one eps is a poor way to look at it how about we look at PLAY TIME after the release and decide if the time was too much to develop

MightbeSomeone said:

I think 5 the last season I don't think will have a lot of choices to make - all the prior choices will lead to a finishing story and my guess is the last eps will be a wrap up kind of like Acting Lessons was

I mean this next update is christmas, and DPC referenced in the earlier episodes about valentines and spring break. The game will end after the first year tho, there will be an epilogue with your chosen girl summary type thing.

Darkwen the Josy lover said:

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think that can be cover in 2 eps thats a lot of game time

FalconLover420 said:

That is what im saying, but some people believe it will end in 2 episodes when DPC has referenced all these events in game such as Mightbesomeone who is speculating its wrapping up like acting lessons
