This is the price you pay for working with a true artist. Instead of milking or middling talent, you have an someone who keeps looking for ways to expand his craft, broaden his vision and reach deeper into the immersion.

I get it, you want your next hit of seratonin. But there are plenty of AVNs to give you a bit of black tar heroin. This isn't that. BaD is meant to be something in more. Even if you don't recognize that.

This is one of the few games that people have said they'd play even without the sex scenes. It's one of the few games where people are truly invested in the story. And that kind of quality takes time to create.
oh yes a real artist, we are talking about the same guy who made this stupid scene. :BootyTime:

because in the DPC universe the secondary characters are retarded and no one called the firemen. :KEK:

I don't know how it classified as stupid? As these things happen irl as well. Not gonna lie but firefighters always doesn't show up early and even if they did fire spread way faster and I think that scene was a well done plotwise. (No matter how much it hurts)

if anything, the house should've been burned down already when MC arrived there. wood really doesn't take that much time to burn with a properly started fire

damage, I don't remember that the scene damaged me, I was laughing for several minutes it was quite funny. it may seem logical to you and illogical to me, but it is what it is. besides Being a dik has too much convenience script at this point.

How about the "patch"? What is it for? Do we have to download that too or just int. + season 3?
What is the patch is for can you tell me?
I don't know, I've never used the patch, maybe someone else here can answer this for you.
I have already asked twice the moderators to spent 2 extra minutes to make opening posts more informative and less messy. They never listen and we constantly get questions like yours in many threads, especially this one because the descriptions are really made to create confusion. Please use the "Report" link in the first post to ask for better informative text above the downloads links.
To play from start, you have to download season 1 and 2, ignore the patch, then download Season 3 Interlude + Episode 9 (that should be written as "Season 3: Interlude + Episode 9").
I think the patch was necessary before EP9 was released, because it contained the import feature along with Interlude, that is now bundled in Season 3. Yeah, the present descriptions are really messy and written with the arse. But they don't give a fuck.

If many people ask the moderators to fix the opening post with better descriptions, maybe they'll finally modify it and we'll avoid headaches to many other players. Please use the REPORT function in the first post and let's see if they listen to people's complains.

After completing another run-though, it occurred to me however hard I tried to drop Bella, she was still a choice at the end of season 2, the only way you could drop Bella was to get a bj from Cathy in Bella's car. Also I could do everything for Jill and have her relationship points at 20, yet she won't go with you (or you just don't even get the choice to pick her) if you are DIK affiliated, I just find it is strange that you can do literally every choice with Jill and still get turned down right at the end.
I find that very frustrating as well. Jill is nearly impossible to get unless you pretty much do nothing DIK'ish (aka nothing fun). I finally did get to the scene with Jill near the end of S8, but not without all the weird interactions with Bella along the way. I keep hearing that DPC doesn't do the harem stuff but for whatever reason, MC can't have a relationship with Jill without her very close friend Bella creeping all over him, and us being left without an option to avoid her.

In fact, I'm doing a run through now where I'm being as much of a DIK as I can, denying all the main girls, and for some reason, I still keep getting options for Bella. It's infuriating.

Because you keep going after Bella. Her entire storyline is based around suppressed sexual desire. Dont try to kiss her or make her do anything sexual. It's normal for her to be around for Jill's story because she is her best friend. It only gets weird if you mess with both of them.

It's very easy to ignore most of the main girls, except Josy and Maya, they dont want to leave you alone, but then again they are MC's best female friends so it makes sense.

You can get with Jill on neutral affinity, so some DIK choices are allowed no more than 4 if my memory serves me well, but yeah most of the time you have to be bit of a pussy.

Obviously not, because if you kick Troy's ass in the beginning Bella will not like you. If you choose to not kick Troy's ass then when Jill tells you Bella told her she approved of you choose not to visit Bella in the library. Her route will be closed.

of the main girls -
Bella is compatible with any affinity playthrough. (DIK, NEUTRAL, CHIK)
Sage is compatible with any affinity playthrough.
Jill is compatible with a CHIK affinity playthrough
Josy/Maya are only compatible with a CHIK or Neutral Affinity* (This has to be at the time of the choice of the throuple, You can go DIK afterward but I don't expect it to end well in future chapters.)

Jill can go neutral as well, or she did on my last run.

CAn Ren'py even support 60 fps animations? I'm no Renpy expert, but I am a Python expert.
Even most optimized Python applications would struggle to hit 60 on screen frame updates in a web app.

Branching happens when you have a choice to make. Your choices then place you on different paths, depending on the choice. But I think for the purposes of the game both terms are more or less the same thing, or at least often used interchangeably.

A path is something you walk on. They are generally found on the ground.
A branch is something you hang from. They are generally found on trees.
You're welcome.

I dont know if you are troll or not.

If he is a true artist, people here have pointed obvious things that need improvement. Chrome teeth? Cyber Sage ? Isabella's proportions are ridiculous. When Jill smiles it creeps me out, she looks like an alien. Maya's skin is terrible. Animations are slow and MC moves like a pensioner. He should improve this before he can experiment with 60 fps animations.

Development was at 50 % in April. It is around this time he decided to experiment with 60 fps animations. Story is not a thing that is slowing dev time, it is his ego. Even triple A studios struggle to hit 60 fps. He is not working in unreal engine its freaking RenPy.
Agreed. Plus the fingers look like an elderly person on several of the girls or he's doing a close up of them. Not to mention, for the minigames, he hates the "rule of three" strategy. Whenever I want to do a new playthrough, I hate the minigames because you have to do them typically 5 times each. And boy do I hate that stupid pancake flipping one. It's tedious.

And yeah. Definitely don't need 60 fps for animations in an AVN. If I'm playing a FPS? Definitely want it, but not when I'm trying to bang a made up girl on my computer screen. DPC needs to focus more on making good animations and renders, with really good story, and go from there. Reduce the development time down.

Lastly, episode 9.. Just an entire episode for that Halloween party that involves yet another minigame that seems like it's going to be around for a while. If DPC only plans for 12-16 episodes, and if he goes with an entire episode per party (which I doubt) there's not going to be a whole lot of content this season. Especially since it looks like the game will end at this point before a full school year. So if 16 episodes is the full length game, that's two semesters maybe and the game finishes, which is pretty "fast" in the game world for all this happening. But it's still a good game, so I play it. Just hope some pacing issues are done better, less unneeded animations, and more plot development episodes.
