Now am kinda curious what choices people made for their neutral characters.

Spoiler: Jammie: I'll show you mine if you show me yours! ... No homo!

Mine was basically don't be violent but party and fuck all the time. For some things like Steve, I just felt bad for the guy so I wasn't going to ignore him. For the HOTs party, I just thought "too many dudes here, they need to go". Everything else just strategically keeping within that neutral zone.

I can't remember the development timeline exactly but weren't there certain reasons for the prolonged development this time around? Again, don't remember everything all the way back to March but I remember there being a few hiccups here and there that just added onto things. Regardless of the amount of renders.
Maybe I just don't pay enough attention but I just have this feeling that ep 9's development time isn't going to be a trend and we'll still get at least 2 episodes per year. Then again ... that just be me hoping that's not the case.

Well, one of the main characters is a feminist and DPC not ridicules her at all. And it not ridicules feminist, only hardcore blue haired feminists. It´s impossible not to ridicule them. But, for example Derek is punished by Jade when he just discuss feminist ideas during a feminist rally with those hardcore feminist, and apparently that´s normal for DPC. And Jade teaches those nonsenses and she´s not a ridicule character.

Of course this game doesn´t have non-straight options, because usually only games that have to gay public as a target have gay options. DPC wants to sell games and non-straight options repels most of the non gay players in a porn game, just like NTR. But it seems that a gay character can´t be just an asshole, even if she cheats, like Maya, or are bad people, like Chad an Troy. DPC seems to try to justify them. He´s not so kind with Tybalt, for example, because Tybalt is rich and rich people are evil beyond redemption, or something. And I would not say it´s a woke project, but it introduce elements of the woke agenda. I suppose that it´s 2022 and woke agenda permeates everything, even a porn game, like marxists and fascist ideas and values permeated everything during the first decades of the XX century, although only succeeded at the end in certain countries. It´s just I´m sensible to those themes and have a low tolerance.

With all those things you vehemently point out, I suppose you shouldn't play Being a DIK.

Because, well, if you're sensible to those themes and have low tolerance, that's your problem.

Guys are there only 2 scenes in interlude chapter?

 

[shazba]

I like how people like you pretend it's all one sided like I wasn't responding to him denigrating me for making the choice to be kind, no no no, I just attacked him out nowhere.. Take your outrage and shove it right up your ass. You're the same type of asshole who cries about people punching neo-nazis and acts like they're just as bad as the nazis(they're not). But that's because you side those you agree with, the asshole and the nazis.

Dude, I think you're way off on all accounts.

Whenever I see a post from you, I always think, "I wonder what that angry man is on about now?"

But let's put this one into context:

Steve, a guy who we are introduced to as he throws a lemon(?) into the mc's face, who uses every opportunity to either put the mc down or sexually harass or assault (slapping a girl's ass is sexual assault by today's standards) Josy, is later found snivelling away in a storage room.

When you open the door, he calls you a fucker and tells you twice to leave him. At that point, after weeks (?) in the past of putting up with his shit, you can either console him or walk away.

But in your view, walking away at that point is 100% indication of a sociopath. Most people on this forum wouldn't agree. That actual scene and it's DIK/Chick affinity outcomes has been criticised a number of times due to how randomly it fits into the spectrum, and my guess is a lot of people only choose the Chick option here to manipulate the affinity scales.

But it doesn't matter, you've now been triggered and it's all about assholes and nazis...

Most people on this board are joking 80-90% of the time. I've rarely seen you not being aggressively serious. You probably need to lighten up a bit more. And when I said you were being a cunt, just remember, you're not alone.

And for the record:

Why would anyone choose to comfort Steve other than to manipulated their affinity (i.e. not a genuine action)? I'd rather piss on that cunt!

It's called empathy. I know it's hard for someone like you to understand but some people actually have a heart.

That would be you attacking me out of nowhere. My recollection of a lot of your posts are like that. If you don't agree with someone, you come in swinging with the personal attacks, and I'm not the first one to call you out on it. Maybe you can use all that empathy you're loaded with and go reflect on that shit.

There isnt a route with both of them at this time.

but like then what’s the Bella and Jill chick route ending?

 

[shazba]

but like then what’s the Bella and Jill chick route ending?

It doesn't exist. Near the end of episode 8 you can choose only one of the girls (Maya & Josy as a package), or choose none of them. But you definitely don't get an option with Jill and Bella.

If you were dating Bella and choose Jill, the mc will call Bella and break it off (she takes it well but looks a little sad when she hangs up the phone - put a few lumps in some throats around here ).

If you were dating Jill and choose Bella, well that shit goes down really bad! Jill see the mc fucking Bella through Bella's window, and that's some fallout to be dealt with in Episode 9!

By the way, I don't know if you saw the mod I made specifically for you, to allow you to be a DIK and still get Jill.

jill’s the one lol but nah she’s best tho

 

[NotTheReal16]

Ah damn. That sucks. Well it's not iron-clad. It's just how I did it when I wanted to play a Neutral run. Neutral run for me is pretty much if I want to play a Chick-affinity LI's route so it's not like you're missing out on anything for those characters even if you just do the "Chick" choices to balance things out. Idk, you'll figure it out ... or just use the mod which could potentially fuck up your saves. The choice is yours! You've got this!

thanks bro. And yeah maybe i‘ll try the mod who knows

I know it's not the right term, but there is any download link (torrent, preferably), with everything that came out of the game so far?

There is bunch of download links on the first page for everything, is that what you are asking or am I missing something myself?

There's not really "endings" yet, because the game is far from over. Jill Solo Path

Bella kinda has 2 outcomes, depending on if you where only going for Bella, or Jill and Bella.

How long does he usually take in between updates

 

[felicemastronzo]

How long does he usually take in between updates

the chapters gradually got bigger, we went from 4 months to about 6

this last one is technically taking a year, but in between there was a brief interlude

 

[znar25]

DPC has configured BaDIK for Steam and GOG. This probably took more time than Interlude because he had to configure the entire Season 2 for Steam and Season 1-2 for GOG.

Interlude was created for two reasons, as DPC wrote to us. First, to make Season 2 compatible with Season 3 and their save games, and second, because he wanted to outsource the Zoey intro because EP9 would have been too big otherwise. Ergo, we actually already have part of EP9. If he hadn't done that, the development of EP9 would be at the same stage as it is now, but without us being able to play Interlude.

Where the contribution of the Interlude to the main story is dubious. Had Interlude never been brought up, you would not have anyone saying, "hey, maybe we need a separate Zoey back-story."
Of course, now, all water under the bridge.

Yeah I used "endings" more in the sense that these are the endings for now until Season 3 begins. Didnt know that she ghosted both of them even if you werent pursuing Jill, though.

I’m hoping that it will be a much more appreciated part of the game, when the next update is out. Hopefully it will seem increasingly relevant, in a retroactive sense, as the story evolves.

I say this because I’m assuming that Zoey has a lot of scenes, and impact upon the events in the next episode. So first thing that I’m doing upon release is to replay the interlude, to get a fluent and continuous transition.

is this game back in development? thanks...

When you open the door, he calls you a fucker and tells you twice to leave him. At that point, after weeks (?) in the past of putting up with his shit, you can either console him or walk away.

Here you hit on exactly why I think Steve's "important decision" is misplaced. If DPC had made that important decision before he opened the door, probably 100% of the players would choose to just walk away because the MC would not be personally involved.

But the door is open.

My opinion on the chick option is simple. Steve was an ass to the MC, there's no denying that. But the MC could also be a dick to Steve in EP1 (e.g., by painting Steve's picture), so I suppose that went back and forth between the two for 2 months. During that time they were more or less on the same wavelength, so it was reasonably even.

But with Major Choice, Steve is on the outs. His reaction of calling the MC an asshole is actually normal given their history. My personal decision wasn't made until I looked at both choices and read the sentences that clinched it for me.

Talk to him:
MC: "I know you and I don’t get along that well..."
MC: "...but I'm not that narrow minded or evil that I’d enjoy seeing you cry."

Walk away:
MC: "I’ll leave you to sit there and cry in your corner."

DPC itself has written that players should decide as they personally see fit. Personally, I think if I'm down, hopefully there's someone who would help me up. It doesn't matter who that is. And this is where karma comes into play for me. Can I expect something from others that I am not willing to do myself?

That's just my point of view. Everyone has to decide that for themselves.
