So we've established that TV shows with teams of writers are better written than niche AVNs written by single writers. Anyone got any other astounding insights they'd like to share?

BaD can only be compared to other AVNs. Yes there are probably better written AVNs but they are usually of lesser quality in terms of visuals, or in terms of playtime. Leap of Faith for example is better written but it's a complete game that is the length of BaD's first season, and the graphic are of a lesser quality. There may be better written AVNs that use Honey Select models, it doesn't matter how good they are, Honey Select can never look as pleasing as Daz 3D. Hillside is better written but it's an outlier in AVNs as it's 11 chapters without a lewd scene, that's a point a lot of people will not be able to see past.

Yes there are probably better quality AVNs in terms of visuals, but they lack in story as much or more than BaD does, someone mentioned Summer's Gone earlier in an apparent attempt to put down BaD. It looks amazing but Ocean knows his writing is currently limited which is why he is taking a course to improve it. To claim it has a better story than BaD at this stage when complaining about DPC's melodramatic approach is ridiculous considering in the first chapter the main character contemplates killing someone who's just been ran over, and then the person who did the running over and then the following chapters are simply girls falling over each other to get close to the MC (this is coming from someone who is a fan of the game as you can see in my signature but it's not close to BaD's overall quality yet).

Put simply, if you were to score every AVN out of 100 on the following main points: visual quality, writing quality, length of playtime. BaD would come out top in a majority of people's opinions.

Yea, what this guy said. ^^^
Not to mention the pacing. Some VNs have good writing but terrible pacing in terms of overall game direction which makes it feel like a drag to read. DPC seems to understand that pretty well.
People might also hate the game mechanics and the mini-games but they're better than most and make the game more engaging. I think DPC understands to some extent, his weaknesses as a writer but it terms of overall VN development he gets so much right that others don't. He knows his target audience and he writes a premise for that. I don't want to play a game where the MC goes to a pretentious art school lol.
Now if only someone could convince him to make some compromises while developing so we could see an episode more than once a year. :ROFLMAO:

I don't really see the purpose of nitpicking a porn story, and a lot of the points being made here aren't really that good, just throwing stuff at a wall to see what sticks. What exactly are you trying to prove here, that the story isn't perfect? It's not like you're going to find Shakespeare writing porn for patreon cash. Great writers aren't that easy to find nowadays, especially when entertainment is so saturated with trash writing.

So imagine being this smug about tearing down the writing of an amateur porn VN. Go write your own if you're so knowledgeable about writing, and let the people who like BaD enjoy it, even if the story isn't perfect. And if you have some actual constructive criticism them go bring it up with the writer, because what people are doing here just sounds like "stop liking what I don't like".

Also, what's with people expecting dumb inebriated teens to act like rational fully grown adults? Even most adults don't act in a perfectly rational matter. Having people do dumb stuff isn't "bad writing", it's just people being stupid, as they have been for thousands of years. I guess God is a terrible writer?

I also kind of want a Watermelon Interlude. How does a fine young Watermelon from a great and respectable garden of watermelons get involved with the likes of Tybalt?

Bro, don't ask, 'cause it might happen.

We'll have a Xmas update. DrPinkCake might need a break after that ---> therefore a Watermelon Interlude.
