i think its about 200.000-300.000 a month overall, via patreon its about 150.000 or even more, and the game is running via steam and some other sites too (and has good buyrates there)
At LEAST $30,000. That's making some absurd asumptions on the low end, but I'd be surprised if it was more than $100,000 most months. It will vary, of course, as people come and go between updates.
Regarding Sage's family revelation I wasn't that bothered at first tbh, I thought about when I first went to college and I talked to people in my classes every day and didn't knew their last name.
But then I also remembered that as soon as I added them on social media, I learned their names, so then I started to think, BaDIK's world has rooster, and thus, the illusion was completely broken, yeah, I can't really buy that the MC doesn't know Sage's last name, especially if he's dating her.
I can completely buy that. It once took me 6 months to remember a girlfriend's last name. And no, it had nothing to do with our breaking up after 3 years.
At LEAST $30,000. That's making some absurd asumptions on the low end, but I'd be surprised if it was more than $100,000 most months. It will vary, of course, as people come and go between updates.
It's a shame DPC isn't interested in making BaDIK as dark as Acting Lessons, because there are some potentially very dark endings for Quinn, everyone involved in her Prostitution ring , and possibly Isabella & Tommy too.
A lot of things are getting retconned, mostly to appease to the masses, because I think if DPC fully explored the narrative he initially set up, the game would be getting a lot more negative reviews
Episode 1
Ick, redheads are usually my type, but her hair is just all over the place. Hard pass in favor of other options.
Episode 2
Oh, okay, apparently that first day was just a real bad hair day. Her boyfriend seems like a douche too, so I'll hit that.
Episode 3
This teacher is in an unhealthy relationship with her cheating husband and she wants to get back at her hubby. Sure, why not, I'm fucking my way through half the class, so why not.
Episode 4
Wild sex with a teacher while her husband is in the other room? That is my fetishhhhhh. Sage is growing on me fast though, smart, cute, wild? Fuck and yes.
Episode 5
Prooobably didn't need to share the sex tape. On the other hand, her son is Tybalt so fucking LOL. This couldn't get much better.
Episode 6
Sage is sick and I'm crushing on the poor girl. So sad. Was going well till I noticed that the sex tape that was 'sealed' by the Diks is in the end credits. That, isn't ideal. Maybe a breakup is the best thing for her family? Shitty that I'll probably lose that relationship when it blows up in my face though.
Episode 7
Not sure it matters anyways, my official main route is now 100% sage after the great scene and great characterization in the episode.
Man hahaha you just described my first playthrough. Let me guess? You also abused the shit out of Tybalt breaking his teeth in Tennis? Hahaha I'll say that the sage path has been the most "interesting" one. Even when I was aware of the theories of sage being Burke and Jade's daughter, when they were going to help Maya I was on the edge of my seat. My other DIK playthroughs weren't as impactful.
Help please, I have play 3 save playthrough but all of them MC decided to not in a relationship with any LI's
1. Chick with josy-maya, bella, jill, sage
2. Neutral with josy-maya
3. Dik with sage and sides
Why there is no option to dating or choose to date one of the LI's?
Thanks if anyone can help.
Uh oh blurred out name, someone's self-inserting and not using the canon Fuckface name I always imagined Sarah to have a bit of a husky voice, super sexy.
2) The MC is becoming more of a Mary Sue. Now this is always a problem with porn. Porn its a narcisistic activity, its self congratulatory. On top of that, mary sues are a frecuent problem in modern fiction. Yet Badik was different mostly couse it avoided it the first episodes. The joks hated the MC, the preps too, the nerds overlooked him as an idiot, even the DIK's didn't care too much since he was a maggot. Quinn and Sage were just sex no love, Bella thought he was a stupid kid, even Josy and Maya, the cutest ones let it clear that even if they like him he was just one wheel in the tricycle. On top of that he was broken and insecure.
Yet since ep 5 everything started to change. The DIKs become less of a cool gang you want to be with, and more of the group of "beta" male MC club fans. Quinn is less of: "let me show you the dark force, kid, see?, this is weed" and is more of a: "Wow, this is a relationship daddy, show me how it works?". The guy plays the Pachelbell song on a classic music concert and becomes a "Rock Star".
As a result we have line after line of: "Wow MC you are so cool/great at doing X/ big/ handsome/ strong/ intelligent". Sometimes is just ridicoulus and you laugh, sometimes is lame and you feel embarrased, but mostly is boring.
I do think the character development is a bit too quick I guess? It takes only 1 season to transform MC from a nobody the hot shit that we see in S2. What I was going to expect was MC would begin to be accepted by people around him. like
Tommy: "Look MC, I know you are not happy with the Hell week treatment, and I am not going to say sorry. It is our tradition that maggots have to prove themselves worthy and willing in order to join DIK. But now you have passed the test and become one of us. In the future if you have any problem, just tell your brothers, doesn't matter who, Rusty, me, JamJam, whoever, we will do our best to help you sort things out."
or
If MC is a dik, Quinn: "Look perv, you know besides fast food, we also too serve... liquor... but only to clients who are.... "licensed". Say are you interested?"
But nope, MC became an instant hot shot XD instead.
But when this combine with your pt.4...
BUT for pt4 said:
4) Lack of drama (yeah, lack of it) Everything work so fine, everything is so cool. If season 1 was a struggle to remain in college (literary survival), season 2 concerns are girls troubles, which one of this hotties should MC choose from. It's like one of those shows where a guy has to choose between girls. Even worst I am picking all in different saves so...
MC status has not been really challenged since he join the DIKs.
It makes me think that the real shit storm is coming. With the storytelling pattern of AL (things are looking real good, a nice place to put a full-stop if it was a fairytale before the oh-shit moment). I'll say S2 prolly is a "transitional season", preparing the MC for the meat of the story.
Of course, this is just hypothetical, we may never prove our theory/glance at the full picture before DPC release the whole game. XD
So i would bet alot that the "others path" is the future of the game : here's why
maya and josey + mc =3rd wheel and a cuck (chick route =cuck )
Jill + mc = simp cuck
Jill will eventually leave for some plot twist
Bella +mc = eventual cryboy cuck
Some bs about work or ex coming back will make you a cuck
Sage +mc = simp and cryboy
But she puts out but eventually will graduate and leaves mc
Notice the word chick and
Cuck look similar only difference is a beta male saying "hi" "u"
Let be honest there storys are all run of the mill and generic so they burn bright but won't take you far.
dpc loves letting the underdog.
The others id say deep characters and complex ones go the farthest
Mc's ex will be a new main in S3
Riona her story is mystery so shes gonna have a deep story and probably a new main.
Quinn :boys... broccoli. Thats right we broke her shes definitely a new main
Nora= new bella/jade/cathy not sure she will be a main tho
Lily definitely the a new main she not your average blond that strips to pay for school unlike a few chicks for some reason she is very forward about wanting mc. She might be the new quinn a tough out to get to admit that wanting to "roll" together is really to have a relationship
And then we have Nicole her character is developing quickly she has a kid but thats a route that will make mc mature and leave school to play daddy with stripper mommy i mean it could very well be a deep route
Camilla nah
Sarah nah
Mel nah
Heather kinda nah i see her as more of a chick that will bring the diks to fighting each other
Sally nah she gonna just make the preps mad preps gonna get revenge some bs to do with midterms or some shit (great ass tho)
Im pretty sure were gonna get at least 5 new mains from current side chicks and the current mains are gonna be the new side chicks
Because thats the first m'nite shyamalan twist on a large scale
Its our house fire of acting lessons so to say.
Tho a very strict and simp path for jill and Josy may make it to the end their paths arnt gonna be very fun going forward
Josey already puts out qnd jill well shes too squeeky clean vergin-y tho it would be hot to see her character become "real" and corrupt but i kinda doubt shes gonna take the game to the end
The im not ready for a relationship bs choosing others is to only be really choosing a relationship with different new mains and getting them to break this false face of never have originally wanting a relationship its the sex em till they love you path its darker storys which is more interesting because people with darker storys who are harder to get love the hardest and fuck the best
Just saying id take the chick with walls built up any day they are defensive and fierce but will give everything when you have them
Chick routs and the current mains nah its too much beta male stuff for fluffyness and very unreal with life
Dpc likes the gripping realism
Thats why our harem mindset of fucking everyone i till chapter 8 just got a reality check
See, I feel exactly the opposite. When the two of them appeared, I said "Oh, hey, Kylie(or is it Penny? I can't keep them sorted mentally) has a meth-head girlfriend! Man, she's so scrawny and drugged-out looking she reminds me of Tara Reid!" then BAM, oh shit, that's who she is!
At least the brunette had some common sense. "Don't let him cum in you, do you want to get pregnant?" (yeah, looking at you Jill fans, DPC was harping really hard on it this episode).
Lmfao a few but tbh. If it didnt happen life lessons wouldn't have been learned and i would be worse off
Breaking walls darker storys are more mature for this game its realism with alot of people gonna be mad/sad but eventually reward this game definitely hasn't reach the plot twist yet so if its easy to have now later it wont be around late game relationship building with the maingirls been to easy
Hey, relax dude. It's only a game. Don't forget that. Becoming attached to fictional characters is dangerous. I'm sure most of us are guilty of taking the game too seriously, but you need to look at the game for what it is. It is beat-off material. Nothing more, nothing less.
reading through the posts I have to agree, where was Sally hiding that ass, like seriously, I thought she was kind of interesting during her times on screen and the DnG sections also having some rewards dedicated to her I think she would have made a more interesting nerdy girl love interest if the story were different.
HAven't kept up with the lore for a while so the ending of Ep 8 didn't really hit me as it might have. Is there a TLDR of who's who and why it's significant?
