Well yeah definitely. He's not a homieAh, well.. he ain't in MY fraternity. But Tommy is, and fuck him, right?
You're absolutely sure about the door? I'm pretty sure we're going to learn something about James in the inevitable clash between Jill and Bella, but due to the Halloween party seemingly taking so much time of the episode, I think DPC will still stall it in some way not to give up too much information already. Like Bella justifying the relationship with something akin to "it's not wrong because James is never coming back and I've come to terms with it" or something of the sort. I'll be quite happy if I'm wrong though.Looking at a December release, and today being Dec. 1st, I figure it's time to prepare for the new crop of episode renders.

Aside from that, I was thinking about my thoughts on what might be revealed in the story. I'm not much of a theorist, and when it comes to fiction I try not to give much thought to what's about to happen, and just let it happen.
Nevertheless, I have postulated a few things that I think aren't outright ridiculous. So, here is my short list of my theories in which I have at least some trust:
Absolute:
What's under Bella's door.
Someone was definitely walking past the window.
Confident:
Vixens have identifying tattoos.
Derek is a genius, or is at least very smart. UPDATE: That was written almost 2 years ago. I'm not sure I'd still call him my favorite character, but he's likely in the Top 5.
Definitely Maybe:
Alison has cancer.
Feel free to call me out later on everything I get wrong.
but that easy the floor is under Bella's doorWhat's under Bella's door.
But I want my solo Josy path now!I think it is unlikely the thrupple will survive until the end, I’d be a bit surprised if it ended now.
In terms of relationships we’ve ended act one now. Next is act two, where every thing is going well, then you have the inevitable falling out then they either get back together or don’t. I’d imagine things will be okay for most of season 3 and then the breakup’s will happen in episode 12. Possibly with things starting to go wrong in 11. Then the final season (presuming we get 16 episodes) will be about either fixing things or starting something new.
I felt that. It's been ... rough.a lot of shit has happened IRL in the world since Crossroads, and the super long wait time has also taken its toll on me.
You know, I'll be honest with you Dalli: the idea that the game might branch so definitively that discussion in the forum was no longer possible had never even occurred to me. I guess I just saw it as so remote as to be effectively impossible.Don't worry email144. DPC wrote the following in the walkthrough.
"Hint! Whatever choice, it will have a huge impact on the story that follows."
When DPC wrote that, he hadn't even started creating EP9. The problem will be to make it not just a rabbit out of the hat spell, but a rabbit for every Branch.
Therein lies my biggest concern, so that the ramifications are too severe and thus the basis for discussions her in the thread are massively compromised because each Branch is too different. Then the F95 forum should consider creating subforums for each Branch.
*MOCKING INTENSIFIES*
Maybe. DPC did say it was the last status update last week. If we're lucky he'll announce that beta testing is underway tomorrow, but he doesn't always make a big deal out of that. And I wouldn't expect a release date; he only does that when he's certain all systems are go, which might be only few days before the release.Tomorrow update say that beta testing has started and a release date if not then next week
IMHO whether Episode 9 changes anything is very much the question. Episode 8 talked a big game then ducked out when the bill was due. If Episode 9 is more of the same tedious bait and switch, I'm out. If it manages to pay off our decision and start advancing our numerous plot threads (without blowing up anything else in the process), I'll be happy to stick around.EP8 didn't really create different branches.
The crossroad only concerned a small part of the game, namely the sentimental relationship between the MC and an LI. The rest doesn't change anything.
In the game, the player chooses who their MC sleeps with, and who they have a more serious relationship with. The MC gets involved in the rest of the plots automatically (Maya and her father, Sage/Chad, Jill/Tybalt, DIK vs Jock, and so on).
Finally, the choice of EP8 is anecdotal compared to everything that happens in the game. At worst, the only noticeable change will be fewer sex scenes on a save.
So EP9 won't change much.
Completely understand not subbing to the Patreon because there hasn't been a real update for over a year and forgetting the game should be easy since it only comes out once a year and will take more than a decade to finish at this speedI felt that. It's been ... rough.I mean staring into empty space in a dark room when you get home kind of rough.Could've just used some fun escapism and frankly everything else just kind of sucks these days. TV shows, movies, games, whatever. This was my last thing I had any interest in. Although, on the bright side it's forced me to stop flaking on my friends and go see them (though that's all kinds of draining and expensive.)
I've probably talked about this 2 or 3 times but yea, I agree that ep 9 feels like it might be a "make or break" type of deal.
I don't really care THAT much about the plot. I'm here for the fun college antics and the general vibe. I'm sure ep 9 will be great. Though if it's another "meh" then I'll probably become indifferent to BADIK and just try to forget about it for a few years and then come back to it. Although to be honest, even if it is a banger I don't think I'm going to get it from Patreon anymore after ep 9. DPC doesn't owe anyone anything and he can take as long as he wants but I just ... kind of feel let down in a way. Don't know why. Don't know how to explain it. I don't even think there's a legitimate reason to be feeling disappointed but I am.
- Ep 8 was overall kind of meh for me for several reasons.
- There are a shit ton of things to be addressed in ep 9 because of the timing of the events.
- Aside from the sycophants on Patreon and reddit, it'd be fair to say the Interlude had a mixed reception (on this forum at least). Some hated it. Some loved it. I personally am just overall ambivalent about it.
- It feels like we've gone past the optimal point regarding the law of diminishing marginal returns and more development time won't necessarily mean more or better content. Which means we'll be waiting once a year for about the same quality.
- It's become less "perfectionism" and more "pedantry". Filling the game with things that the majority may not even notice rather than spending that time to make something perfectly cohesive.
- I mean shit, I get it. We'd all still like the game if he only took 6 months and couldn't put in everything he wanted but what matters is that he takes those 9 months to put in everything he wants until he's satisfied. Otherwise, what's the point for him if he's not doing it for himself? On the flip side, what's the point in me caring about it enough throughout the year, every year, until it's finished? To play it, let alone remember it after this update.
- Etc, etc I've said this all before and I can't even be bothered to remember the details anymore. I can't even be bothered to remember most details of the story itself anymore.
She better get a redemption arc and a happy ending or we riot.The logical reason for Quinn not to be an MG and a choice at end of ep 8 is that Quinn cannot have an ending with MC, either she ends up in jail or dead. She certainly has had the screentime of an MG rather than the SGs.
hi- thanks. it must be finding the narrow hallway upstairs. i thought it was the one where i found Jamie and Leon. i havent found it yet. could you help with that?You can't find the answer in both the official walkthrough and the fan walkthrough in the OP?
hi- would you give some more details about finding the narrow hallway? thanxThe free-roam part? if you have talked with everyone and you explore the mansion a bit you need to find a narrow hallway a lot of people miss the arrow at the bottom of the screen make sure to click on that.
thanks a million. that helped me so much.Try going to the small hallway near with the janitorial closet. Instead of clicking the arrow to the left (which returns you to the previous room), click on the downward arrow. This will take you to another identical door, but this one leads to a dining area. If you've talked to everyone else, that should start the next scene.
If that doesn't work, you must have missed someone at the party, but this was the part that always confused me.
thats ok- i finally got it. thanx againhi- would you give some more details about finding the narrow hallway? thanx
thanks. i finally found the narrow hallwayYou can't find the answer in both the official walkthrough and the fan walkthrough in the OP?
thanxIs it the one in the DIKs mansion? You have to go through the door at the top of the stairs and then the doorway directly in front of you, then come back out of that hallway and it will show that you've explored the mansion.
