I must say that this is a very interesting theory. If that happens, and the choice is left to us, it will have a big impact on the future of the game and how the DIK will resurface.
How would something like that even work though? Through one significant/Major choice or a sum of choices you've made throughout the game after having some time to think about an offer that will impact the kind of ending your MC gets?
If something like that were to happen, I'd imagine it would either be that the MC is given time to decide on what to do, i.e. until the end of the game, or he will simply be granted access to the money without any choice but can later decide (at the end) whether to keep it or shun it. Having it branch within the story would probably be too much as it would create two separate paths, but a few different renders and lines of dialogue with each of the LI endings would not likely be as much work.

In either case, whether he's given it automatically or has to decide what to do, having the people at the college find out about it would be interesting for the story as he could get both advice and pressure about what to do and it would be interesting to see how others react to it and what their attitudes are to both it and him when they find out.

It indeed would be fun, The letter has to be the next big thing to push the story further.

That would be somewhat interesting however, I'm certain a majority of people wouldn't care as they aren't close/friends with MC, and the only conflict I could see coming out of it would be Quinn trying to use MC as some sort of piggy bank for her own personal gain only to get rejected.

That's what I mean by "people at the college"; the DIKs, HOTs, Jocks, Bella, Jill, etc. Seeing how these people react to it is what would be interesting.

Quinn is a main girl, just not a love interest.

She's actually the 2nd most important character in the game after the MC. For example, the entire plot of Ep.5 derives from Quinn's decision to push the HOTs toward the preps and not telling Tommy/Rusty about it. The DIKs storming off, the adventures in the Prep mansion, the DIK house being trashed all flows from Quinn's decision.

One could take any one LI out of the game with some rewrites, but remove Quinn and BaDIK is an entirely different game.
haha Quinn bad brrr

True, It would seem that what ever is in the letter has to be forced. And i still highly believe it's the rich family.
I agree and think this makes he most sense, whatever happens as a result of the letter will likely be forced.
Forced is a strong word. Coming into money could just be part of the story, same as going to B&R - we didn't have a choice to not go to Uni either or not be a good guitarist etc. That's just baked in.

There is also nothing inherently "dishonorable" about getting money. People that win the lottery aren't bad, just lucky. Plenty of stories/movies have a protag getting an inheritance from a long lost relative they've never met, nothing wrong with that - until it turns out that the inheritance is a creepy old mansion with a book made of human skin in the basement that is :LOL: ).

There is no moral dilemma unless there are major strings/conditions attached. e.g. It could be that the heir to the "Buffet" fortune recently passed away and MC is the only blood heir of the family alive. Grandad decides he has no choice but to name MC as inheritor - but we will only get it on graduation - so the choices will pertain to how the MC behaves as a rich/influential guy on campus and not a lame game of "choose what to invest in."

Having said that, we don't even know if the letter involves money or not. The chances are high tho because it has been foreshadowed twice. First in our conversation with Jill (where we joke about her buying islands) and second in our conversation with Maya outdoors where she specifically asks what the MC would do if he came into money.

I agree, I believe and also want the MC getting the inheritance. In a way he could be the only child of the family meaning the only one to get the inheritance. Seems everyone is on the same page of what the letter might be. Now it would be a huge letdown it it wasn't anything of this sort. But somehow i doubt it.

DOWNLOAD (v0.5.0)
Win/Linux:
I have a question about the links!

all links except for NOPY, I can download normally, even in NOPY, but 70% of the time the download gives an error and when I choose to continue it returns from the beginning regardless of how much the file has already been downloaded!

This happen in all games I try do download

Does this happen to anyone else? Thank you

Do you think the MC is a B or R? His mother was from a rich family. Possible?
A few people here think that MC's mother might have been a Burgmeister however that wouldn't make much sense since I'm sure his dad would have told him that. Even more so if he was a Royce. DPC would (theoritically) be treading on a mighty thin incest line since Jill is also a Royce.

I'm hoping it's different/more prominent family his Mother hails from.

I'm really impressed by DrPinkCake sense of detail... For instance, the guitar lesson :
View attachment 706485
That's indeed a major G ! Almost the way to do it when you're novice...
However, MC should know that the fingering can be further improved... He has to let index finger free to go down on major G7... But that's just guitarist's frenzy !! ;)
It is poor fingering - as you say, you should use fingers 2-3-4 because it make G7 easier, but also makes transitions to C chords, F chords, etc. easier. But the MC is a self taught guitar player, and this is a common fingering for folks with no formal lessons. But hey, what do I know, I only spent 15 years studying guitar, and a lifetime working on them.

I don't know about Americans or French or Algerians but, does Tommy have a secret crush on Josy or he just hate her guts? I'm getting the secret crush vibe because he cannot stand her being in HOTs and he cannot stand her playing that spin the dildo game. What he told Quinn might just be an excuse, unless he really is a brat and kept a grudge for the nail polish incident.
