Do we know the Burkes are RICH? I mean really rich not just well off. I don't think we do. I think it's safe to assume Jill's and Rusty's family have real wealth, but the Burke's we don't know that. They certainly wield a lot of influence at B&R but BIG dough we don't know that.
One more thing, in my opinion, I think it's certain Mona is going to return. That bit of drama is too juicy for DPC to pass up.
I know making out that Tybalt of all people isn't really rich is a fun plot-device (for argument's sake).
But I don't think it fits here because he would be looked down upon by all the kids in the fraternity that come from real money (even if not the same level as Burg & Royce.) He might be tolerated because of his family's influence (a genuine part of the group, but I don't see him having the respect/clout in a group like that without real wealth/status behind him).

The dev could also be making a point about the difficulties of trying to 'fit in' in a highschool/college environment (like Maya, Josy, Chad (definitely)). Not just for the drama, but also to point out that all the characters have more to them than the stereotypes they first appear as. Or I could be completely wrong & it's just him trying to add more depth to characters as the story progresses.

Yes, I agree. Maintaining the girls you reject as friends is a narrative resource to keep the characters into the story. Problem is, when you are not into the route of those characters, is no more Tremolo´s (the player) story, but some side story in which Tremolo has a secondary part. In my case, I can´t care less about M&J love story and drama. It´s not my Tremolo´s story. I don´t even find plausible that Tremolo continues involved into M&J plotline. It´s like he has known their secret by chance, and now is trapped into their dramas due emotional blackmail, more than for friendship. It only has sense if Tremolo were into their route. And probably the same happens with people that is not into Bella´s or Jill´s story, for example. It´s the problem of that way of writing a story.

Devs tend to bite more than they can chew. DPC is creating a story with a lot of characters and main an secondary branches. Now he has the most difficult task: to finish it well, and before all his fans are dead of old age or boring to death to wait for new chapters. A story a bit more simple and with a few less characters could be more rounded, with less scenes hammered into the plot. Also, would be easier to write and the updates would be more frequents. As you say, it would be a more intimate story, in which Tremolo (the player) could be involved in every branch in a more personal way, not just because, apparently, he´s a saint that can´t see a damsel in distress (even the ones that hurt his feelings) without trying to help them.

JAL this can also be viewed the other way around. If the player does not reject JM, i.e. chooses the romantic path for both, he is still forced by DPC to interact with Sage, Isabella and Jill.

This is exactly where I see what DPC is getting at. He wants the player to decide on his LI as early as possible.

The later the player decides, the more complicated the friendship is likely to become and the jealousy factor that DPC introduced (I believe in EP7) will strain the LI relationship and friendships.:unsure:

The example below is from the JM path. I don't have any other path. But it shows the pattern of DPC.

My MC has no romantic interaction with the other LI's.

Jill: My MC helps Jill with tennis against Tybalt and the concert. But he can't and won't help Jill on her third date with Tybalt. What is the consequence. Jill stands up and shows Tybalt her cute raccoon teeth. Conclusion: The MC has boosted Jill's confidence. This is going to be a great friendship.:D

Isabella: The MC convinces and permanently proves to Isabella that he is a decent young man and not the pervert who ran around campus naked. She also sees him helping Jill. Summary: At the end of the concert, Isabella gives the MC a friendly hug after saying that it warms her heart what great friends Jill has. Yes, Isabella was damp with the hug. But not because she was excited about the hug, but because the ice queen's ice shell is melting.:D

Sage: Needs a real friend more than anything. From the scene of EP5, I conclude that Sage's experiences with boys have always been the same. Falling in love quickly, horny sex, and then bye-bye. She probably never had a real boyfriend. So it's all the more important that the MC stands up for Sage and Maya during the walk in the woods. Did you see Sage's reaction to this. Just fantastically portrayed by DPC. After that reaction from the MC, Sage knows that the MC is her best friend and will remain so whether she can help Maya or not.:D

In short, this is to show that there can be a happy ending if the MC is and remains a decent guy. There will be no jealousy with and among the LI's because there is simply no reason for it. But that's what Zoey is on her way to the MC for.(y)

So the real game wasn't the giving of the DIK, but the friends we made along the way... of giving Sage the DIK :p.

I think you're right though and this probably also reflects back on the game's title. I'm convinced "Being a DIK" is a meta joke made by DPC about how everyone who plays adult games only thinks with their DIK*. So I expect some bad endings/lecture about how these girls also have feelings. Instead, if we actually treat the girls as people, the endings are probably going to be great. Hell, DPC pretty much spells it out with the whole Hell Week thing; at the end it wasn't about completing all of the assignments, it was about the friendships you got from it.

* Imagine that thinking porn is only about getting people off...

That happened to me. I was 16. My first gf left me 'because she was Young and didnt want to fall in love bullshit' and the next month she was dating one of my best friends.

I don't know what Jill is going to do but I never talked to them again.
dude, that guy saved your life, imagine it would have taken you 15 years to discover how much of a whore she was? nowadays you would be divorcing getting your heart ripped out through your ass by a divorce lawyer and yours entire worlds being used as an excuse to bleed you dry in child support!

he jumped on a grenade for you! he probably told you she was a slut and you refused to believe him so he took matters on his own hands to save you... i did that for a few friends but fuck them if they refuse to believe me i just fucked the sluts and never interfered afterwards the dumb cucks!

I wonder if in future episodes you break up with LI and pursue one the LI you may have rejected.
only happens if you are super rich a super star and have a magic dick.... and even those 3 combined can end badly for you there is no anger like a spurned woman and they will never forgive you... trust me i have plenty of experience at rejecting dumb cunts after using them and then reevaluating them and trying for something more and it never works, fuck they can hold a grudge for decades!

Ehm, wasn't Burke the one who tried to abuse Mona? And considering Sage is adopted... I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out Sage was abused and this is why she's so casual about sex. Then again, she obviously loves her parents. Which is kinda weird considering what we know about them and how other characters (mainly Bella) behave towards them. So maybe Sage is a case of Stockholm syndrome? It also would put Tybalt in a different light; DPC obviously wants us to hate Tybalt and makes us laugh when he's miserable. So I fully expect him to make us feel bad and show Tybalt was actually a victim.
Man, I hope DPC won´t go that path! It´s disgusting. And totally unnecessary.

Burke is already an asshole. No need to make him a pederast. Also, I´m pretty sure that would be against Patreon´s politics.

But if that spurned woman is Maya, does it really matter? :ROFLMAO:

short question when you bring out your mod, will it appear for both seasons?
Good morning. If I'm satisfied with the product once complete and decide to release publicly it would be a full and complete, professional distribution. I might push out an Early Access internal release which would likely be through Season 1. Internal releases are via a predetermined control group. I'll keep y'all updated as always, I've always committed to being as transparent as possible. Regards.

Yeah, I think I'll hold off on another run until (if?) that mod comes out; I have way too many random collectibles to find that this would make so much easier.

This is what the MC says at the opening of the game.

His father explained to him that family is more than blood relationships, that being related doesn't necessarily make you a family, and that family is the people who help you, support you when you need it , ...

This is what the MC does with his friends and loves.

We also have the opposition between the family in the proper sense, and the family that we create with our friends. There are several characters who are better surrounded and guided by their friends than by their real family (Maya, Rusty, Jill, Sage maybe, Quinn to a certain extent).

Hard to answer.

If I were DPC, which I am not, I would place a dramatic bomb right at the beginning of BaD that provokes exactly what you are wondering.

For me, the bomb's trigger would be the decision between Jade and Cathy. The MC's dreams give it away. Jade represents the seductress and Cathy's dreams actually represent more professionalism (Pink Rose, prostitution). That's how I see it too. Everyone interprets it differently. Now I'm bringing the pregnancy test into my thoughts. The MC can fool around a lot and has many dreams and also blackouts. Will the MC have a child with a seductress, stripper and/or prostitute.

What if they were not just dreams, but activities while half asleep and/or under the influence of drugs. Every time the MC woke up after a dream, DPC added this fog to the images. This is not a rendering error and has nothing to do with the lighting of a scene. The blackouts speak for themselves.

What if the MC had impregnated a girl in such a state, who later is not or will not be his LI.

Recently someone mentioned the resemblance of Zoey and Jade. In the third and last dream the MC had with Jade, we as players can decide if the MC wants to cum in her ass or on her pussy. What would happen if this was Zoey visiting her "friend" Josy once? After all, on the EP2 date with Josy, the MC wonders why they sleep in her parents' bed and not Josy's bed. Josy says that there is not enough room there. Josy's parents arrive and he flees out the window. Maybe Zoey escaped then too and secretly took up residence in the at the MC. Who knows?

But the hard decision will come. Will the MC choose the girl (LI) he loves and / or the girl who carries his child under her heart.

If it will come like this, my decision is already made. In my opinion, a child is not a guarantee of a good relationship and the child will suffer later from the inevitable tensions of parents. But this is my opinion.

But I am not DPC.:p

yeah the main situation here: Once you chose Sage on episode 8. you automatically break up with Jade. It won't even give you a decision to remain having an affair with Jade. So in my point of view, MC is covered. He didn't know Jade was Sage's mother. Once he took his relationship with Sage seriously, more than a fuck buddy, he break up with Jade. And it is not like he was fucking Jade knowing she was Sage's adoptive mother. So he wasn't doing nothing wrong other than having fun. Lets remember that Tremolo is single andSage was in a relationship while fucking Tremolo. And her father is also a cheater. Burke has been trying to have a date with Isabella as well. Better, He has been trying that for a while now and they already have history. My mc, never did anything bad against Tybalt. SO honestly. If Sage decides to end up the relationship with my MC because of things he did before they start dating. I don't even care lol. I will just date someone else. My mc, so far, on her path, didnt do anything wrong towards her.
It's even hard for me to imagine how such a twist will be implemented in the game code, lol. Because DPC's most important variable is not the main choice, but lewd scenes. For example, if at the end of Chapter 4 you choose Jade, but this does not mean that you will fuck her. You can give it up if, for example, you play well and go to neutral affinity and decide to be with Josie and Maya.
It's the same here. You can accept Quinn's offer of food from the restaurant, but you not necessary don't have to call her and fuck girls. So, hypothetically, lewd scenes will be affected. But there are 9 of them. And which of them will be the trigger that will simplify the path of parting with Sage is unknown. DPC will obviously not enter all 9 scenes into the code.
f Sage decides to end up the relationship with my MC because of things he did before they start dating. I don't even care lol. I will just date someone else. My mc, so far, on her path, didnt do anything wrong towards her.
Yes. If DPC decides to check out such a stupid plot move, fuck Sage. I had a Hell week and had a task to fuck a teacher. And in general, Jade was the first to molest MC. He didn't know Jade was her mother. He didn't know anything about Sage at all except that she like to be fucked in the mouth, lol.
As for girls and prostitution. They are fucked by the whole campus, all DIKs. I wasn't in a relationship at the time, I had a difficult breakup with Josie. I wanted to fuck, I'm an 18-year-old bitch. Fuck you, Sage, if you break up with me. I'm gonna go fuck your mother again, lol.
In fact, joking aside, this supposed turn devalues the whole Dik way altogether. For me, one of the main advantages of the game was the ratio and equality of the ways of Dik and Chick. If you want romance, go the way of Chick. If you want to understand what it means to be young, follow the path of Dik.
Now it looks like enforcing a certain pattern of behavior. I fucking want to be Dik and I want to be with Sage. Fuck you, DPC, if you forbid me to do this. I will become your main hater in the network.

Crazy theory o_O

What if Derek is bisexual and has fallen in love with his DIK brother the MC (not BI). He forgoes attempts at annährungs in favor of Maya, but secretly hatches a plan. He is looking for a third girl so that Derek and the MC can have a threesome when JM wants to have some private time. Of course with the knowledge of JM. :whistle:

Would be interesting. :unsure:

I'm more than a bit disappointed they didn't have a crossover finalist that included Melissa from AL.
1640012241847.png

Two days worth of voting, and a clear leader emerges.


For me, the choices in several of his Patreon polls are either so horrible that I vote for the one I hate the least (choosing a sex act with Madam is the primary example), or so bland that I really don't care which one wins, which covers this current poll. I find few of the finalists show any kind real imagination, especially considering DPC made it fairly clear that any of his characters from both Acting Lessons and Being a DIK were fair game.

In truth, I blame DPC as much as the entrants, because he condensed the list from more than 250 submissions down to 15, and I know there was a better mix of characters than what we have in the three bundles.

So, instead of the MC and Bianca double-penetrating a straight-jacketed Leah in her padded cell, we end up with MC and Jill cuddling under a blanket in front of a cabin fireplace, which probably will happen in the game, anyway.

Maybe I should be thankful one of the finalists didn't include Sewer Monster Arieth having tentacle sex with the DnG party.

:sick:

Jill's fucking fans will kill the game. The first season was fun and carefree, and the second with the snot of Jill and Maya I like less, even though there is my favorite mini-game for building a mansion.
