but we only know this distinction in the rear, and it doesn't take much to change the "status" of an SG

by chapter 8 it was predictable that Camilla would not, at least for now, have her own path? earlier she had been one of the most recurring SGs.

Nora was supposed to be the one-night stand now she is certainly a recurring character, as a professor, and probably the bearer of unwanted pregnancy.

Bianca did not even have a name before chapter 8.

all this preparatory work is not necessary to make a fuckable extra, a new romance target
I never saw a potential storyline with Camila because she has nothing, just a hot college chick who likes to have a good time. Unlike Quinn, Riona, Zoey, Lily and Nicole who have a developed personality and their own story.
Nora is definitely the odd one out at this restaurant because the role of milf teacher is already filled by several characters.
Bianca? Bianca is the ultimate holy grail. ;)

Why wouldn't he finish the game? This is his life’s project, his alma mater, no matter how he feels about it. There are no prerequisites that indicate that he is losing interest, burnt out from the project and intends to abandon it. He continues to provide feedback and work steadily on the game, no matter what. He took time off a couple of times, but that was it.
There was already one guy, Arigon. He predicted that Ep.10 would be the last. It didn't come true.

I forgot I'm talking to Kpyna and you love long posts. Fuck me :HideThePain:
There is some truth here, SGs are divided into two types - those with full-fledged relationships, and others just for fucking. We see that those who focus on relationships will receive their own blocks of content every episode - Riona (Ep11 - ?), Quinn, Lily, Nicole, Zoey. They all received some kind of activity (not necessarily lewds) in both Eps 9 and 10. At the same time, Sarah/Mel and Camila continue to receive episodic content. They were practically absent in Ep.10

By the way, I remember that DPC said that the openings and endings of the episodes would be fully animated, which was not the case in Ep.10, apparently he refused this. It is possible that the criticism of long animations reached the DPC, and he heard it. He will never admit that it was a mistake, but he can quietly remove it or reduce it.

Something small can be added in a winter setting. The same snowball games. Honestly, I don't mind it. Snowballs are fun.



I'll be honest, let it be as you say. I myself want the episodes to come out as soon as possible. Nobody likes to wait, and I am no exception. Plus BaD spoils me a lot - I play no more than 10 high-quality AVNs, the game has raised the quality bar for me, so I can't kill time with other AVNs. We'll see how it goes. But in order not to get too upset in the future, I set a time limit for myself of one year. If the release is faster, that's good.
I meant in the sense of not letting it end. Maybe he will finally reach a point where he feels like he's made enough money to end the game. Or, he may decide that it's not in his interest to do so, four seasons become five, five seasons six and so on until enough people get tired of waiting and stop supporting. And if you look at his Patreon and Discord you'll see quite a few that would go on supporting. That's what I meant about mindset. DPC has no real reason to end the game until it's in his interest to do so.

Yeah, status affects dialogue not affinity.

The only RP that has mattered so far is actually the RP with the DIKs but only on two specific occasions: if you play with minigames off then you need high RP with the DIKs for Rusty not to sell his car and if you let the Preps into the Halloween party then the rest of the DIKs will defend you to Tommy, low RP and they'll back Tommy.
I'm pretty sure Bella's RP matters at the start of the game, not fighting Troy, not wearing the helmet etc. As for DIK RP this is starting to sound off to me. So I let the preps in and everyone berated me for doing that. Based on your comment I must have low RP yet I fail to understand why I could have low RP, it should be high as far as I know. But even if it wasn't high the MC has fucking fixed their entire house and planned their parties while they do little to nothing. Along with Rusty the MC saved the entire fraternity from being banned, he and Derek completed everything on the hell week list and he has fought the jocks many times. DIK RP should be the least important RP in the game, the one thing that DPC could ignore in my opinion.

Regarding status and affinity I suppose I have kept both of them at similar levels which is why I thought affinity caused dialogue changes, it made more sense to me. Still if you imagine that the MC changes his body language and the tone of his voice based on affinity it could make more sense why girls react to it.

who you are or are not interested in is not important and is not in question :rolleyes: .

Camilla is one of the first to confess, indirectly through Mona, that she has an interest in MC, from that moment she is a constant presence.

if she had also had an "ending" in the after halloween party no one would have been surprised. and the expectations would not have been the same as Melanie and Sara or the girls in the dormitory

I don't think it is about the money anymore. I doubt it is a coincidence that Stephen Burke talks about feeling unfulfilled being rich and trying to find some purpose in episode 10

Yes, but the money isn't his motivation. The money just enables him to spend his time doing what he wants to do, make games. I don't think he envisions it as an artistic project either. That's not his motivation either. He stated that it was his hobby to make games, and that he would continue to do so, no matter what.

By the same logic, there was no point in finishing Acting Lessons and coming up with hundreds of reasons to continue it. And if he understands that he wants to earn money further, then he does not need to stretch Being a DIK to new seasons, but finish and start a new game. So far, as he says, he has no plans for a new game, he is completely absorbed in DIK, and is thinking about rest, that this will be his last game... But that’s for now. And then in the distant future in a few years... A new game, or a BaDIK remaster, BaDIK 2... There are many options. But there is no point in endlessly milking one game if you can finish it and start something new. Because patrons can really run out of steam, that's true.

sometimes affinity does it. in ep 9, Dik affinity MC tells Tommy Fuck you, while neutral tells him Please help me. same with the drinking competition Dik MC is the one who comes up with the idea of spilling the beer on tits , neutral MC not.
And Yes I have dik status even with neutral MC.I also remember a conversation with Becky where MC can mock her, about she is the girl who farted in class :LOL: , that also was with my Dik affinity MC, while my Neutral MC not said it to her.
in earlier episode namely for the first 3-4 status was usually there to gain or lose rp points. and also some scenes required specific status. like Spnaking Sally, or the Mona x Cammy sex
as the game progresses its lose its significance more and more.

I think Bella has plot points to tick off in the same way as Jill does, rather than RP being the important decider on her route. Winning the mansion and party minigames have no affect on DIKs RP, that's in dialogue decisions like status is.

If I remember correctly he was still working a day job during the development of AL. His situation is completely different now. I'm also basing my argument off of his own statements, I don't recall him ever saying he had any great motivation for making the story of BaDIK. His only statement on intensions, as far as I know, is that he considers the making of BaDIK as an exercise of his hobby, not the execution of an artistic project nor is it a business venture. He's never stated that. His only statement, when confronted with discontent at the slowness of development, was that he was making BaDIK as a hobby.

She does but there is a certain criteria you have to meet in order for her to approve you to Jill, and consequently open up for a relationship with her. Failing 2 or more classes gives you negative RP, wearing the dick hat gives you negative RP, so does fighting Troy and trash talking the cafeteria food (I think). Other actions gives you positive RP, like some dialogue choices during the date. You need at least positive RP to make her like you. I know because I screwed up royally during my first playthrough and I looked it up.

We'll see this in a few years (if we live, of course, this is hell of a quest quest in our reality)

Wait does status affect the MC's auto dialogue and not the affinity? I thought it was the other way around. I also thought that RP decided whether you could start a relationship with a girl. If not then that is pretty bad. My impression was that you needed a certain amount of RP to make Bella like you at least.

Either way it's strange that RP seems to mean very little. For Jill the most important thing is to go on her date, take the picture and to fight for her. But I would hope that RP would be relevant in future episodes somehow. There are unfortunately many things that seem meaningless at the moment. Doing a good or bad job with the cleaning doesn't affect anything and I haven't seen any example of when DIK happiness matters. You plan all of these parties to make the DIKs happy but why? What do you get out of it? Having good grades etc. I hope it will all come together later on in the story.
Status gives sometimes extended/altered scenes. The last recent one was in Throuple branch in EP9. Josy will flash to MC with Neutral or DIK status, but will not do this for Chick status. So to get the scene you must have a Neutral affinity with Neutral or DIK Status or just a DIK affinity. The Chick MC can't get the scene anyway, since his status is always Chick.
But for the dialogues it's an affinity checks most of the times.

Regarding RP - J&M had a lot of checks for them in the first two seasons. During lewd scenes, during common scenes, etc.

Regarding Bella - she (any any other girls) likes MC by default. And her "Like/don't like" MC is just a starter attitude. You may make her not like the MC initially, this will bring some additional/alternate dialogues here and there, but that's all. The most outcome of this is in EP9, when flashback is shown how Bella tried to talk to Jill. A few dialogue lines will change, Jill will remind Bella that she was the one who said that she doesn't like MC. Etc.

It's hard to predict how the RPs will be used and when. Maybe at particular checkpoints it will play some role. Maybe high RPs will allow to dodge some of accumulated cheating points or safely pass through bad past decisions and choices. Maybe other MGs will start to get benefits from particular RPs amount as it was with J&M in the first two seasons. We will learn soon or later.

Wait wtf? We can do that? I thought rejecting her advances would lock her out. Damn, I have to try it now!
yeah, you get fewer sex scenes, of course, but the best part is that Sage chases after MC, and it's a first for her.

Fix Maya's skin?
why ? not every girl needs to have perfect skin. i would welcome some stretch marks from growth spurts for example.

How realistic is it that 5 girls that you have banged become friends and start hanging out? If it was me I wouldn't be able to remain friends with Josy at least.
depends how you break things off. if there is not much drama, and if each one decide that having you in their life is better than not, it's not that far fetched.

The worst part is how Josy is taking the rejection if you don't choose her, makes me regret the choice a bit since she is so lovely. I wonder if it is possible to reignite the relationship later on.
it's part of growing up. but yeah, DPC is certainly setting up baits for the player for a late Josy path. Maya also has an equivalent scene. might be more geared towards breaking the throuple, but could be adapted for late paths.

My impression is that Josy is more of a DIK girl but is CHICK-neutral because of Maya
or she wants to be liked by everyone so she is agreeable to all kinds of people.
she enjoys pranks and also being treated with respect.
closer to neutral. but it might change now that she is getting out of her shell and earning some character growth

I've been thinking about that scene. First she is about to delete the photo with the MC but suddenly decides not to. This could mean that she still values the memories and wants to continue being friends. But another interpretation is that she has decided to try to win the MC back. She is obviously bothered by what that guy said at the party and therefore she deletes her quite generic description on rooster. The question now is whether she will look for new hobbies and try new things for herself or as a means to impress the MC.

  1. This one is public knowledge because you post the cluck from the retirement home if you take that option.
  2. Only Jacob knows that you had any influence over that. I don't think he'd be bragging that MC got rid of the Alphas because he was too scared to talk to a girl while they were there.
i think MC also gets a cluck when he goes to the strip club, posted by a DIK

and during the HOT party, Sage would definitely know, she is not stupid, the Alphas leave just after MC arrives, and she gets the report from each sister that witness MC doing it. Josy also witnesses one instance. Lily another. Dawes is pretty obvious as it's a prank that only a DIK would dare try, and everyone knows Jacob wouldn't do it. Heather will link her event to MC directly. the rest are ambiguous, but a strong image begins to form at that point :D

So it's clear that the majority of the decisions that decide MCs affinity are not know by the LIs. Individual LIs would only know 2 or 3 at most of the decisions that decide whether they like MC or not. Meanwhile the everyday interactions that they have with MC which decide his status have no impact on whether they like him or not.
I see it more as the affinity choices shaping MC's decision making for stuff that happens off screen, and his overall behavior.
status only affects his replies, which can easily be tolerated and overlooked.

or she will work on herself not to need to be liked by everyone. cutting Becky out, or at least telling her off, would be a good sign. embracing what she really likes for herself, and not care about what other people think. etc. she needs a confidence boost if she is to have a hard look at her current relationship.

Fair enough, self improvement makes sense. But it's probably not a coincidence that this comes immediately after her decision not to delete her photo with the MC. Assuming that she doesn't do this if MC chooses her and Maya. I haven't played that path yet in e10 so I don't know.
