Special renders are not in game previews. Just a random set of lewd renders of a specific girl/s.

I always thought Cammy's expression was the key to this scene. She looks upset.

DPC's focus is more on the story and character personalities (and sometimes even branching). A compelling plot and enjoyable characters are what make the game so popular and stand out. Imagine this, every other person on this forum will find different reasons to like or defend a particular girl or girls, and each side could come with perfectly valid arguments. Special renders are special too, because you see your favorite girls in all their glory. I agree with the fan art thread, but don't forget that DPC also has a game to write and code. It has the complete package: hot girls with personalities, nice varied animations, good and sometimes great visuals, and most of all, an actually compelling narrative for most that serves as a centerpiece to it all.

Someone here thinks the sex scene with Sarah is one of the best?, I don´t think she is pretty or anything of interest to me but the sex scene with her was one of my favourites.

We have a tendency in this thread to use the word "dark" a lot, but sometims I wonder what people qualify as "dark".
So far this game has dealt with a lot of what I would call "heavy" themes, like the drug/prostitution thing and Maya's fear of being outed, but it hasn't really had anything yet that could be considered too dark, but what would that be if it does? Thinking back to AL, it too dealt with a lot of heavy themes like Melissa's domestic abuse and Liam's cancer, and it only became dark when we discovered Leah was a psycho, stalker, pyromaniac killer. Right now, everyone is looking at Bella to be the one with the dark storyline because of the locked door and the mystery of the missing husband, but I personally don't think that, whatever her story, it will be "dark", just "heavy".
Maybe there's some tragedy there, something that might ellicit some tears from even the hardiest of players, but I don't think it will reach the level of "dark", especially not AL dark. Personally, I don't think anything will get that dark, even Quinn's story. The "AL effect" is making people think it will get that dark because DPC did it before, but I'd like to believe that this game will deal more with heavy, emotional storylines rather than dark, destructive storylines.

we also think so because DPC tells us in the BADIK prologue to prepare ourselves in moments, at least sentimentally, "heavy".We have a tendency in this thread to use the word "dark" a lot, but sometims I wonder what people qualify as "dark".

it seems to me that the death of a character is narratively overestimated, it is absolutely not the worst thing that can happen.
Would it be worse for the story that Sage died or kept dragging herself into an unhappy affair with Chad that we, as MC, can't wake her up from? failing in our every attempt to make her take the last step?
the endings impossible to digest are those in which happiness would have been possible but for some reason we have not reached it, but it remains there at hand, then if as players we knew that this possibility did not exist it would be heartbreaking

I don't mind themes that are heavy, or even dark, as long as the story is redeemable and the player can have some sort of agency.
AL took away that agency away with its final twist, leaving the end on a downward trend.
In BADIK, I hope that if there are events that are heavy and or dark the player can repair or fix the damage. Having the story take away a major character that's your primary love interest that uppity can't avoid could essentially kill the entire playthrough and experience.
Basically, if you play right, you have a happy ending.

Good point, and don't Get me wrong, the story for that particular game was good, but it's not one I wasn't to replay or experience again. Maybe im being selfish in that aspect, but I don't think I'd be alone with that statement.

The disclaimer could also simply be there because DPC knows his audience. IE...adult VN players that while they moan and whine they want realism...in reality they actually don't. Shit happens, people leave you, you can't always save a relationship. But if that was to happen....the player base would go ape all over his ass because as I said, everyone wants a happy ending where the LI worships the MC and nothing bad ever happens which really, is as far from the truth and reality of life as it could possibly get.
Which to a point is fair enough, most of us I would guess play these (like any other game) for an escape from reality but you can't want one thing then complain when it's given to you. I didn't like AL as I just didn't think it was very good all round, the twist at the end was a very meh moment to me and I didn't even think twice over who to save. If that happens here, or an LI we're persuing (say Sage for example) decides she is no longer interested in us, then so be it. That's realism and good writing.

If Sage were to die, that would be "dark", but if she just continues to drag her feet with the Chad situation, then that's just frustrating. If the MC were to fail at every attempt, then that would mean the player has no agency of that relationship which is an entirely different matter altogether, and not one that it is likely to happen.
The difference between what is "dark" and what is "heavy" is simply that a heavy storyline is one laced with raw emotions and possibly tragedy, whereas a dark storyline is one that involves more visceral themes like rape, murder, kidnapping, accidental death, etc. In this regard, the death of a character is the worst thing that can happen because of the finality of it, and even moreso if it's unpreventable like in AL.
Yeah, but these games are meant to be better than life. There's enough bad shit that happens in the real world and the joy of these games is that they take you away from that for a short while to enjoy a better world. We don't really need reminders of the fragility of life in a game where we're trying to enjoy a better sex life that most us could ever hope to have in the real world.

I agree with and understand your statement, every good story needs some conflict or challenge to overcome. But I don't think many play these games for actual realism. If that were the case many of us older players would just look back at our previous relationships/mistakes.
Badiks overall tone, so far, despite some heavy moments (maya/josy for me), is still far more light hearted than AL.
you can still have serious and heavy moments without going down the AL path and still have happy endings (again, if you make the right choices in the game).
In the end, its dpcs game and story, we're all hear for the ride. I can only hope for an ending I want.

We don't just think Bella is going to be the one with the 'dark' storyline... because of the line in the library, we know it's her (or that she's at least one of the characters with a dark, heavy, or tragic storyline). Again, that doesn't have to mean a death, or that anything bad will happen to her. It could be a tragic event in her past, a mental illness of some sort, some dark secret she's hiding, etc. None of that would prevent a happy ending down the road.

I agree with it. Only thing that gonna stop us from Bella is return of her husband which I hope DPC wouldn't have included in the game. But Death of Bella has no reason and it's kinda melodramatic.

A tragic storyline isn't necessarily a dark one. For example, the theories some people have had about her having a miscarriage or losing a child that was very young would be a tragic and heavy storyline but not a particularly dark on. If, however, James were to have suffered a mental breakdown or been suffering some sort of PTSD and smothered their child to death, that would be dark.
This is why I feel there's a distinction between what is tragic and what is dark, and they can't be lumped in together like they're the same thing. Death, murder, rape, psychotic behaviour, etc, are what I would consider be dark themes and anything other than that is just tragic and heavy. The dark themes would prevent or at least dampen a happy ending, whereas a tragic one does not.

Call me a romantic or a fool, but I think that no one is incapable of having happiness given the right circumstances. It's just unfortunate that many don't get that chance, in real life or a game.
