AL is not a bad game. The full story with all the twists and revelations actually would make a good script for a Hollywood movie.

The problem with AL is that it started as a lighthearted Dating Sim where mc has opportunities to have sex with different girls. After some episodes the topics became darker (death, drugs, violence) and there where more consequences, blocking further progress with the main LIs if mc was dating other girls. And then everything turned into a psycho thriller type nightmare. So from start to end AL completely changed target audience. AL is a good choice if you look for a psycho thriller game with some sex scenes, but it is the completely wrong choice for people who look for a lighthearted sex and romance VN. Having to choose between M and M is no fun, accompanying your best friend on his bucket list tour neither.

Since the story of AL in 2020 is widely known, adding some of the dark twists to BaDIK would hardly work since players will recognize the pattern and there won't be any surprise but mostly rejection.

AL turned dark pretty quick, the very first scene. It's not like we weren't warned. That's why I think BADIK won't be that way, it's not in its general tone.

The warning at the beginning I believe this dark place in your life it was? I think it's perhaps referring to depression? or drugs use, A writer won't go down the same route twice.
I will burn with you if it happens again, bros before hoes ;)
(just prepare your heart in case it happens again, I have spare
handkerchiefs for both of us )

The music theme for dark things to foreshadow is : "Piano Cinematic" by AShamaluevMusic or "Spring in Russia" by Alexander Nakarada while Jill's piano theme is "Reaching the Sky" by the same artist.

I agree with that but story always needs some a surprise that players do not get bored.
BAIDK would go as a good porn game already, fuck different girls and milfs=everybody was happy.

But when the story is added then expectations go up.
which came to my mind: BAIDK includes whole or part of the MC college times?
(I guess no one knows(exept DPC) but had to try to ask or ask your option)

Yeah, I agree the story needs twists, but you don't need deaths, or lethal illnesses to keep the drama. Severe drug addiction could be a thing, but I doubt it will get to the point of someone getting OD'd, to name one possible example.

have to say its highly unlikely that DPC will do his fans the same fate as the first game

But who cares ill enjoy the ride none the less and go to therapy for the ending :LOL:
I just make sure I have enough Bacardi Black and Coke stashed. Oh, and Johnny Black or Blue to chase it down. That should make me happy again or at least insensitive to external factors.

I think the key to enjoy the game without too much stress is not to get attached to any of main girls.
Having nice bottle in the cooler cannot be wrong either.;)
Hence why i am going to Jade in my main playthrough. No more endless drama, just some hot sex without feelings. :p

EP3:
DPC already knew how to do it.
This, of course, is just my opinion but always heavier feelings come from worse things than good ones and therefore a straight knife to the heart always feels.. bad.

anyway to change mc name i just used the saves in op as i missed out on both of the teachers scenes and the names a
If you use the Bios app on the phone, you can click on the three dots in the upper right-hand corner. That should let you change the MC's name, though I have never tried it myself.

DrPinkCake is the type of guy that I can trust in the content that is being produced. It has an average of 3 - 4 months between updates, and each one has more content than the previous one in every possible way. Very different from NLT Media, which has three thousand patreons in front of DrPinkCake, releases an update every two weeks, and always comes with characters that have already been used in a massive way, or with characters that are in a ridiculous mess. I prefer to wait 3 - 4 for something massive and with a lot of content, than to stay every two weeks eating crumbs.

And Maya would have pushed the MC out of the window when he was crawling into her dorm room.

Oh and there would be a big guy holding doors for people a lot.
So Sage would be Dany then and Chad with his army of jocks would be Drogo and co? Lol. It's interesting reading comments on this game - don't think it's ever presented as a harem game but that's what everyone wants despite vastly different personality types and backgrounds in question and a system which literally positively or negatively effects perceptions of you based on your actions and how you treat them. Trying to imagine a happy ending where you have harmony between say the wholesome Jill who hates bullies being ok with Quinn who treats others as objects and we all have seen how possessive Sage gets when it comes to boyfriends lol. Props to dev though - I do like all 5 main girls so it's decisions, decisions, decisions...
