It almost sounds like this is a point of no return with Jill, don't go on the picnic and it jeopardises the entire relationship. :eek:

Still, the fact that you can shun Sage for the entire game then go ballistic on her ass (in a good way) in episode 7 means there's hope for all the relationships to be rekindled at some point (we're not on the home stretch yet and the mc's only been at college for what, like a month?)

DPC's definitely taking a unique step here where seemingly lost relationships (M&J, Sage) can be rekindled later on (I'm speculating about the M&J, but it does feel like a couple relationship can be forged with one or the other eventually). I wonder if that luxury will be applied to all characters or if it's just to be chalked up to the randomness of life. :unsure:
I like the idea of being able to get a girl even after you missed an initial opportunity, at least in theory. But in practice, the way it was handled with Sage was disappointing. As everyone has noted, it makes no sense that a guy who'd turned her down multiple times would get the exact same sex scene as a guy who'd been fooling around with since Episode 2.

Giving girls multiple pathing opportunities only works if you can afford to flesh out those sub-paths in distinct ways. I think that might be more work than is feasible. Which makes me worry that missing Jill now is just going to lead to a confusing conflation of her sub-paths down the line. I could be jumping at shadows, but Sage was one of the few really false notes in Episode 7 so it's hard to ignore this concern right now.


Did MC ever mention Sage by name when telling Jill he is taking care of a sick friend? Again, lost all saves so no way to check, but I think he just said "she." How does Jill know who it is (enough to warrant jealousy)? If MC doesn't name Sage, then as far as Jill is concerned, it could be any unsightly female. It could be Wendy, or Ida, or the old lady in the senior center. I guess Jill imagines it to be the hottest woman on campus. Strange that Josy and her perfect ass had no such effect on Jill when she found out MC had a romantic history with her.
I'd say it works the other way around. As soon as she learns the sick friend is female, Jill assumes the worst: it's an attractive, sexually experienced romantic rival. As it turns out, Jill is potentially correct, but more by coincidence than insight.

Jill was able to handle the initial Josy revelation more easily because in that case the MC was on a date with Jill, one he asked for. It's a lot easier to cope with a rival that the object of your affection is griping about during a date with you, right? Whereas in Sage's case, the MC is avoiding a date Jill wants to spend time with someone else. That's a far more serious threat... assuming you ignore how reasonable an excuse "I promised to help a sick friend today, when else are you free?" is.


It's surprising that people would say BaDIK's writing is the worst around. As good as the visuals are, I think the strong point is the writing. Although this game dropped out of my number 1 slot after ep. 7, I think anyone being objectively honest would have to agree that this AVN is an achievement and one of the best if not the best on the site. It's still the gold standard. The renders are excellent, the animations are very good and getting better, the story is interesting, and the characters are memorable. I personally don't like DPC's style of punishment for not taking the exact course he wants you to (while retconing established character logic patterns), but that doesn't mean the game isn't good. Logic issues aside, where the game really shines is the dialogue. A mark of a good writer is the ability to make each character sound unique. If you remove the visuals from this game (horrible to say I know), you would still be able to tell who is speaking.
I think some people mistake the quality of the writing for the tone and subject matter. BaDIK is meant to mirror goofy college movies rather than be a that is more interested in character work than mimicking real world details. There's a lot of attention to detail, but only certain types of detail; other types (for example, financial logic) are not meant to be taken too seriously. That's how I see it, anyway.






I've mostly been working on animations this week, and I managed to build a decent render queue that will last a while.

In the past, I usually produced animations with a 1-2 second length as a standard. These days approximately 75% of the animations are at least 4 seconds long, all thanks to the upgraded hardware that you've helped me acquire.

So far, I have started working on and/or completed work on 9 lewd events. Episode 8 will have plenty of lewd scenes but also a lot of story content.

Next week I will be working on static renders and likely continue to write. I have a few new environments that I need to design that I look forward to.

We will kick off July with the poll that many consider the best one, "Special renders - Main girls". The winner of this poll will get a special render set in episode 8. A reminder for this poll is that it's been redesigned to make the game content more balanced. Sign up as a $10 patron to participate.

Have a nice weekend

Another week without comparable numbers. :cry:

I'm not surprised DPC is going for longer animations given how fast his new setup seems to handle the short ones. But it's hard to verify he's got a steady queue going when we only have a handful of datapoints over two months.

But Sage was never meant to be a massive dik li that could very well be Quinn later on, not as a LI but rather an antagonist because I don't think massive dik mc is a protagonist anyway. When every LI leaves us, all that's left will be quinn and dpc is projecting it that way with how frequenct and intimate scens mc has with her.
That's a really interesting way of looking at it - a massive DIK MC actually being an antagonist, and Quinn being the natural fit for him. The talk among Quinn fans is often about saving her in some way, but I'd be really up for a path that saw the two of them become partners in crime. Whether DPC's overall story structure would accommodate the amount of branching required to have a full on "Dark MC" on the one hand, and an ice cream party with Jill MC on the other, seems unlikely though.

character can evolve, at least that's what I expecting and hoping . Once you enter the relationship with Josy, having Dik affinity at least not affect her RP point in negative way. I don't know how I would feel about it if 4 out of 5 main love interest would be affiliated with Chick/Neutral, and only one would be allowed as Dik:unsure:. Regardless of the side girls, it is a bad design, no matter of how many side girl are.
Especially because being Chick often makes you feel like a pussy, there is a limit how much believable for player that a full beta male would be appealing to any of these Hot Girl. There should be a difference between a full Asshole - which btw you can't really be because MC has a generic personality - and between a confident Alpha Male (y).
Josy has a unique characteristic that no other LIs, and basically no other characters, have.

she initially, at the first date dinner, appreciates MC differently if he is DIK or Chick, in both situations she appreciates him, no RP, but in both cases she has positive dialogue.

was this a fluke? a uniqueness that has already been lost? we'll see.

Don't you think the DPC himself doesn't like Jill? He pays less attention to her and seems to deliberately talk about her last.

Oh shit, did his teeth really get knocked out by a tennis ball?
Yeshsh! And I have shpeshcial schavesh for the occasshion. He shpent hish entire preshentashion shaying "SH" for "S," and I loved every shecond of it.
He actually complains that his prosthetic is knocked out, so he's already missing his front teeth before the mc goes on the attack. Probably had his original teeth fed to him in high school. :whistle:

It's Sage, Josy, Maya, wholesome, lewd, and wholesome/lewd.

So you can vote for who you want or the style of renders.

Sage and wholesome/lewd was winning.
Sage is winning… That not surprising… Oh well... A wholesome/lewd style render set is perfect for Sage if that what they are going for I can't wait to see her. :love:

Maybe next episode we could have a special Maya & Josy Main Girl wholesome/lewd style render set. :giggle:
It would be great for those like me who want the throuple route. Not so great for those who desperately wants a solo path...
That would be my pick ! All we have now is custom renders...

hopefully the troupe will soon have some carefree moments.

I'm not a fan of the picnic scene (because I consider it a retcon to bring back an official relationship to a probationary one) but since then there hasn't been an equally serene moment between them, a constant hiding and running away

Let’s not forget Bella ! I had two variations for her ! A familly thats fuck together stays together ;) View attachment 1277216 View attachment 1277215
Remember kids, there nothing wrong with roleplay if that's your kink ;)
More step-family stuff? Come on bro, if you're gonna do it, do it right. :cool:

I guess I missed some really good scenes. I hit Tybalt with the tennis ball only once, but he wasn't spitting chiclets. I didn't keep after him because I wasn't trying to lose any more RP with Bella/Jill.

Gadzooks Bella, look at the gigantic size of your head.

Agree that what I'm waiting for ! Fucking Patrick had to ruin everything :mad:
At least the last episode 8 preview gave us hope for a hot lewd scene and let's hope that there will be a wholesome hangout before or after. ;)

Yeah, you're right... I should have used "Landlady" and "roomate" that's how you do it right. :LOL:

I said it before. The lack of "serene moments", as you put it, is what's keeping me from being especially fond of Maya. Josy is clawing her way up the ranks when it comes to my preferences and 95% of the reason why is how she is during downtime.

Maya just hasn't had any truly significant time spent one-on-one with the MC since like Ep2. I even took the movie date with her the wrong way since it became a vehicle for talking about MC's mother. Maya needs more time being Maya. Not being a lightning rod for drama.
