-How Maya actually is the greatest character ever written in the history of fiction, 100 paragraphs of essays
sorry, I didn't make myself clear.
Excuse me! My trasngender lizardmen vs. sentient toilet theories are perfectly reasonable!
I guess, some could say that 40GB+ is pretty standard for most tripple A titles, so why should Being A DIK be any different?
Didn't he say that Seasons will be of different downloads and act as separate games
Not sure that's a better or more delicate way of handling this.Didn't he say that Seasons will be of different downloads and act as separate games
At this point, I feel like we need progress with everyone.
Can we please just all remember that this is only DPC's 2nd game? One game does not a precedent make. If they had made 2 or 3 games with emotionally tragic and fatal endings, then maybe we could say that this is their typical style, but AL is our only reference for DPC and this game doesn't necessarily have to go in the same direction and I, for one, don't think that it will.
At the moment, the MC isn't formally attached to any of them and if it were to stay that way for the majority of the game, then him being dumped for not being "faithful" isn't entirely fair. If, however, he commits to someone and then has sex with someone else, then perhaps that argument can be made, but again I feel that's too similar to what happened in AL and I would hope that DPC will handle this whole issue differently.
I'd probably vote on all 5, but ranking them in order of importance, I'd put them like this:
Dear God, I hope so.My, my.
No idea how it's built, but DPC is definitely building this into one big game rather than separate it like Fetish Locator, Echoes of Lust, or DMD.
I mean not a different game in the literal sense but Ren'Py would only need to handle the data of a single Season then. I seem to recall he was talking about this last year.
Never worked with Ren'Py, so I'd be the last person you'd want to ask about how it handles data. I hope it's possible though.
If James returns, then it's just the straight version of the M&J situation, and we've dealt with something like that already which is why I hope that it's something different with them. Maybe he left her and she's delusionally holding out hope that he will one day come back to her, but he never will. Her not being able to let go of a past relationship and having the MC be someone who can help her to let go of it and to learn to love again would be a better story arc for her.And turn this game into AL v.2?
I don't know many games that have tried to split their games and transfer the data (choice, etc) over to the next one, but I do know that Fetish Locator did it recently to mixed results and Thirsty For My Guest is looking to do the same. Echoes of Lust has a Season 1 and Season 2, but since that game's linear it doesn't need data from the 1st to be used in the 2nd, and DMD has you manually enter what points you had and choices you made in the previous game which isn't a great system if you can't remember certain choices.
I am in Heaven has this and yes, it has a sort of mixed results but i would say its just the minor inconvenience that it carries naturally. Still, the size is definitely an issue when it reaches a point and this title definitely reaches it so its a small price to pay. I'm confident that DPC will be able to come to a satisfactory resolution but the meantime i expect some form of minor inconvenience as well since relevant choices have to be transfered some way indeed.
Yes, I know that this is his second game. But DPC had made a huge 1st impression on AL. An impression that he is not afraid to cross lines. I see it as good thing for someone(like myself) who likes to read and watch. We'll have to wait and see if he does this time differently. But as for first impressions, I'm afraid for the safety and well-being of our beloved fictional characters.
So we would have to choose between her and James, or both?
Joking aside, i agree with you and also hope that it will be something different. I still think that whatever is left of their relationship exists only in her head and there's nobody left to be loyal to, but she's doing it because she (possibly) blames herself. I really hope that in the next update we get at least one answer to her problems because as of now the pile of questions only keeps growing.
But that's the thing, that shockingly tragic twist at the end got that game noticed. It raised DPC's profile, not only because of the controversy that it caused, but also the heartrending nature of it. As a first time dev, if you want to get yourself noticed, then this would certainly be a way to go about it. It also subverted expectations and, in a way, felt like it was taking a jab at adult VNs for always having harem and poly endings by literally killing off any chance of that in AL.
I just want to be able to bone all of them until at least ep 14, especially if we can go all the way to Spring Break. It would honestly be so boring if I had to settle down with someone by the end of Season 2, or even in Season 3 because there's still so much game left. It's like people who play the D-only path in DMD; they're missing out on so much by not being with the other girls and it also makes the game a lot shorter.I expected you to say that. You pussyhound.
Well, because it isn't a AAA title, for one.
Don't get me wrong, BaDIK is by far my favorite VN (it's bordering obsession at this point if I'm being completely honest..) but 30-40 GB for something that has very little to offer in terms of actual gameplay and is basically just clicking through pictures with a few animations every now and then is a bit steep. But I'm not even really arguing that it should be smaller just packaged more reasonably. The post Ennoch linked hints at this being the plan at some point for as long as the game is still in development but plans evidently do change.As much as I would love to see this happening, a conversion like that - especially with a game this big - would take way too long and we're already looking at a final release date of somewhere around 2023, and even that's pretty optimistic.
Looking at my list of games which I downloaded and haven't played, Maou-sama, Ecchi-sensei, Retrieving the Past and Mysterious Stones seem to be doing the same thing.
The best way to go forward with the game is by uploading patches as well as a full game, including all episodes. The old idea of keeping multiple binaries on Patreon will make my workload much bigger since it makes it too different from how the Steam version is being handled.
