I also had the impression that something was going to happen to Neil, I imagined it would be something like he was going to get hurt at work, or he was going to "kill himself" from working so hard.
When Neil took the furniture to the MC he had a slip of the tongue and mentioned that he was no longer a supervisor (I don't have saves for that part to show here), so he may have been demoted, he needs money to fund his life and of his son, and for that he will have to get more jobs or something like that, and this will affect his health, or he could even get injured at work, and with the hospital bills the situation will only get worse... Anyway, yeah, something is going to happen to Neil.

And based on some of the previews of the next EP we've seen, the MC has stopped taking care of himself, he's unshaven, in many of the previews he's "sad" with someone comforting him, and let's face it, he's immature, he needs to grow up, and a drama like something happening to his father, his only family, can force him to mature.
Like the scene with Jill in the hospital in last chapter's Previews? Previews are chosen to be harmless, I wouldn't read that much into them

Nicole is definitely my favorite SG along with Mona. Such a good character. She is so beautiful, and smokin' hot! The whole MacAllens bar sequence was awesome. Getting to know some more mature ladies in a more private setting unrelated to their work was great.

Sandy: What are you his birthday present?
Nicole: (Kissing MC) He can unwrap me anytime.

I don't even pay attention to Jill, so I'm not going to comment on her preview, I don't even remember what it's like, but in the preview with Zoey the MC seems to be informing her of something bad, either it's something between them, or with someone they know, It's just an assumption, but it fits.

In the preview with Riona, the MC is unshaven, clearly upset about something, and Riona is comforting him.

preview_rio0.jpg

In most of the previews, the MC is happy and clean-shaven, so only towards the end of the chapter should something happen, something that should make him stop taking care of himself, if it's something related to Neil, we don't know, let's wait and see.

And I found the dialogue between Neil and the MC:

scene ep7_diary73 with dissolve
dad "As far as my supervisor is concerned-" <-----
scene ep7_diary74 with dissolve
mc "I thought you were the supervisor." <-----
scene ep7_diary72 with dissolve
dad "Supervisors have supervisors too."
dad "And as far as he is concerned, I went to the dump with the furniture we're replacing."
scene ep7_diary74 with dissolve
mc "Wait... Why are you working on a Sunday?" <-----
scene ep7_diary73 with dissolve
dad "We need to clear out the rooms of the hotel by tomorrow afternoon, and that means overtime."
scene ep7_diary74 with dissolve
mc "I see. Don't work too hard. You need to rest too." <-----
scene ep7_diary73 with dissolve
dad "Don't worry; I'll take a day off next week instead."

And again, why would someone as meticulous as the DPC "waste time" with this dialogue?

Hello,

Since the arrival of the next episode is no longer a thing of the distant future or so it seems and since I wanted to play new playthroughs for the different paths I like just before playing the newest episode in order to have important elements of the narrative fresh in my head, I just started a new game, after deleting my saves (I made a backup of them before ;)) and my persistent file. And there Jill was to welcome me to the game as if I had never played it before. And man, when I've reached this point, I've felt a strong uneasiness.

Don't play with my feelings, doc. I want my girls alive and happy. :cry:

Seriously, DPC is an asshole. He's going to find a way to ruin your favorite Li for the sake of cheap drama, one way or another. He has done it already, several times, both in AL an in BADIK. I don't know. Maybe your favorite Li is going to die. Maybe you are going to find some nasty secret about her past that you won't like. Maybe you are going to discover she's crazy, maybe she's going to start a woke campaign of activism, maybe she's going to be even deeper into some stupid, over-the-top criminal shit than you ever though, maybe you are going to discover she's a full-time prostitute for a gang, maybe she's going to change her personality and make her a bitch or a sex-crazed slut, maybe he's going to make her a lesbian and you can't have her if you don't agree with sharing her with another lesbian... It's DPC personality, he can't avoid it. And probably he doesn't even do it on purpose. It's just that he only cares about "his vision". He doesn't care about what the player could think about the moral values and politic views that he shoehorns into the game, or the nasty things he does with the Lis. He thinks he's George R. R. Martin. :FacePalm:

He added that stupid warning because he thinks that gives him a blank cheque to do whatever he wants. It his game, he does it for himself, and fuck the player's feelings or thoughts. It's his game and his "vision" and he graciously lets you play it if you pay. But you are not even a customer who buys the game from him and therefore can demand certain things. For example, regular updates in a decent and reasonable time, or not to be force-fed with woke shit. You just "support his work" on Patreon. You literally have no say. That's why I will never be support him and try not to get too involved with this game.

Let's start a campain of loving Maya, DPC would think that she's the major LI, he kills her and everybody goes with his initial LI. Except for Joshy :KEK:

Personally, I think that the developer should not give a damn about any moral and political views of the players, this game is not some kind of “build your own government” political simulator, it’s a damn porn game about a guy in college, a dramatic comedy based on the American Pie. Who cares about politics... Politically biased people should not have any influence on the author's creative process.
The developer must follow his vision, but at the same time not drown out any criticism as DPC does, resulting in ridiculous technical solutions like 60 FPS animations. As for interacting with the fan base, yeah, he's an asshole. Imagine spending a lot of time identifying the guy who leaks the previews in order to ban him.

That's partly also why I think it'd happen (though I wouldn't call it cringe personally). There seems to be a number of DIK-oriented options getting added so Sally would make sense as a CHICK-oriented one.
IMO, the entire fun part about Sally is the banter resulting form Fuckface being a DIK to her, even Karen joins in in ep9 :LUL: If you make a chick MC and her be together it will just feel like a lesser version of already established relationships.

I agree and somewhat disagree at the same time.
Allow me to elaborate, I agree about how you suggest users should leave out personal politics and expectations.

But I disagree about the part where you suggest creators should listen to criticisms before the work is done. A VN is not a public collective. A creator has his/her own vision of what they wish to create, so critics be damned! The only input and suggestions a creator should even remotely take seriously from the public while his VN is in development, is for 'bug fixes'. Period. Suggesting that a creator's fans know his vision better than he does, is simply just ridiculous to me.

Nobody has any right to complain about a 'possible' story intent of a creator. If users don't agree with the proposed story, then they have 2 options in my book, either fuck off and find another title, or try their hand at creating their own if they think they can do better. So yeh, in a strange masochist way, I have no problems with DPC being an epic asshole and be uncompromising. But I think everyone else knows my feelings about the galactic stupidity of going to 60FPS animations. On that note I seriously question DPC's cognitive abilities. No one with a brain larger than a pre-chewed grape would ever think that as a good idea.

As for how he squelches vocal criticism so much on his discord and/or patreon, you absolutely need to keep in mind that 99.9% of users are moronic sheep (the current geopolitical state of North America right now proves my point, yup keep voting morons! it's really helping. NOT!). All it typically takes to start a shit show of ignorance is just 1 fucking troll, and most morons who can't think for themselves will jump in as well.

At the beginning of episode 9, Do you get a Bio update if you fucked Nora in an earlier episode (5 or 6 I think) ? I know I forgot her in one of my "Others" playthrough but I can't remember which one and I'd like to continue the right one.

You see, ignoring any criticism and an uncompromising ban from his Discord creates one problem.
People know that they can be banned for criticism and prefer to remain silent - in the communities controlled by the DPC (Patreon and Discord) only praise takes place. This can create an echo chamber where the developer becomes convinced of the absolute correctness of everything he does and becomes uncontrollable - his creative inspiration can go the wrong way. For example, the already mentioned idiotic decision to double the FPS in animations, as a result of which we are just sitting here waiting, although we could already be playing the game. I think this is a consequence of the existing echo chamber. Was this really necessary?
The problem with the animation was the slow and sometimes unnatural sex scenes, many of which lacked passion. If this had been pointed out to him and he had accepted it calmly, could it have been corrected? I think yes. Pay attention to the lewd animations - in many of them MC moves only with the hip joint, the rest of the body remains static. When you pay attention to it, sex in BaDIK looks weird. Or unnecessary subplots like Nora. Why do we need teacher-student drama in relationships when there are already two of them and a potential third? Or did he create this for the Steam achievement “Success in Swiper”? Strange.
I agree about politics - anyone who pushes their agenda into the game and tries to impose their views on the author should be banned. If someone doesn't like two bisexual chicks in the game, that's his problem, don't play that route or delete the game if it offends his conservative feelings. Someone don't like feminist representation? Let him delete the game so that it doesn't offend his progressive feelings.

I also can't completely disagree with anything in your post.
But the above snip I took out of your post is really one of the larger troubling issues with those networks.
And it is why I have never been a fan of social media networks. It doesn't matter if it's for a VN or any other closed minded group. Social media reunites snowflakes into massive circle jerking sessions. So in my opinion the problem is still not entirely on DPC's shoulders. I suspect he also understands this. And with his new found fame and wealth, I don't think someone, even you, wouldn't want to risk any possible reason for a platform to cancel your channel because it's only filled with 'in-fighting', insults, threats and vitriol.

So with a project as large as BaDIK is, I'm not surprised he rounded up a few mindless followers to police his channels so vigorously dishing out bans and kicks because someone veers off their idea of how a fan should behave, think or speak.

For example, let's talk about discord. Discord staff monitor and sneak into your chat channels without your knowledge regularly. How I know this you wonder? Well I'm glad you asked, #1 they openly said it and #2 they did it to me a while back while I was tutoring a friend on how to hack a scammer. At the time I was in a private channel I had created and set a password to it. Next thing I knew, my channel got suspended and my account banned with hardly any explanations. The only thing Discord informed me with was the ban itself and I had somehow broken their terms and conditions. The only explanation is that someone from Discord's staff came in my channel 'invisibly' most likely half way through our conversation, and got the wrong idea out of it and jumped to a wrong conclusion. And I got hit with a ban hammer.

So keeping that in mind, I think this would take a serious chunk out of your monthly/yearly revenue. So I get it, I get why DPC is a monumental ass hole when it comes to his little circle of brainless fanatics. And in a sense, I wholeheartedly agree with his angle, because simply put. Social media platforms are ALL garbage. Social media is just a tool to monitor everyone and log and categorize your opinions to only be used against you in the future. That's all these corporations care about. Becoming "big brother".
