anybody ever think about what happens if this update isnt like the best thing DPC has ever made? like what if there is some really lame unavoidable plot twist just for dramatic overload? what if the branching paths are just a very poor illusion that all lead to the exact same scene (again)? what if we immediately have MC second guessing the choice we were just forced to make last episode? what if we learn something about Isabella or MC's mom and its REALLY stupid/contrived/convoluted?

DPC himself hyped this up to the extremes, and the ridiculous wait time to play it since Crossroads has driven most people here to ludicrous hype levels. i am of the mindset that 1 update per calendar year is gonna be the norm (yeah even with his 10% speed increase or whatever), and for that model to be "acceptable" to most people this singular episode needs to be like his literal best work to date to validate the lengthy wait time and the Interlude itself.

i wont lie, im not nearly as hyped as some of you. 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. its hard to be as invested as before when there is nothing to talk about for like a year when compared to the previous release schedule. so while i am still looking forward to it being available soon, i also feel like this is kinda a "do or die" moment for the story he is trying to tell us (which will take several more years to finish at this point in time).

anybody else ever think about what happens if the consensus on this update after the dust settles is anything less than "best DPC product to date"? i kinda feel like this cant even afford to just be mediocre or "good enough", it needs to have everybody love it 120% or it will still be considered a failure in the eyes of the general audience because of the massive time investment this story requires IRL. just curious what your thoughts are (if you have any lol)
Short answer: nothing.

Long answer:

Badik is being writen with a core narrative that every player is gonna experience no matter their choices. No matter how much you help or avoid Maya you are gonna run to her in her "tuition crisis". There are lots of moments like that in the game and there are more to come.

If I'm wrong in my previous assestment this is the episode to prove it.

Cheap drama is gonna also be there because is how DPC writes the game. Zoe complains are just the new shape it took, when episode 9 drops its just gonna change shape again.

This thread is gonna be the same. Some theories here and there, a LI war, DPC denfenders vs DPC retractors, tier list and someone insulting Jill or Quinn and of course people asking when is gonna drop the next update. Some people would check the thread everyday, others from time to time and some would just pass when episode 10 drops. Some faces are gonna change others will remain the same.



Personally I don't feel hype or overhyped, its just another episoded of Badik. It will come and will go.

Can I ask the thread denizens to use the spoiler tag for the first couple of weeks after the episode is out to discuss anything about the contents of episode 9?

Don't know if there a rule about it but seems a few days to a week is normal to keep things in spoiler tag after that everything fair game. Also Josy is the best girl

That's true and that probably applies to the vast majority of singular updates on this site. It doesn't hurt to keep that in mind when properly assessing EP. 9 in a couple weeks and it also helps to keep your frustrations in check.


We saw the bitchy queen's halloween costume in one of the previews. So chances are we might get a shot at the party.
me for some AVN I still think it's worth the wait and all in all I'm glad, because caring is always good, even taking into account the disappointment that can result.

But I after six months forget even the email password, let alone the affairs of people who do not exist

True true.

I must say the long pause has made me feel pretty indifferent towards the overall story of BaDIK. Quinn can continue to fool Sage for all I care.
Depending on possible twists and turns in Ep. 9 my interest can spark againI guess.

I can't believe so many here would betray a total bro like Chadnar. Violation of the bro code, lads

How do you figure? Chad's a juiced-up jock who is also a raging (literally) homosexual, there is no part of the Bro Code in effect with him, he lost any claims to that the moment he started acting like an asshole.

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.
