V080 and then 082...for me it worked to overwrite files from previous version with the new ones (copy-paste 080 files into 072 folder and after that apply the 082 update files) . Also don't forget to update the Walkthrough mod if you used it previously

However I strongly recommend to have an backup for stable version (072)before doing something. You know... Just in case

Thanks for the quick reply!

I'll try to find a v0.8.0 somewhere in thread then!

Also, big RIP to NOPY. :cry:

We all know that the friendship of Tremolo with the girls that he rejects as romantic interest is a narrative resource to maintain them into the main plot of the game. But it´s a narrative resource that not always works. Let´s see:

- Jill: let´s imagine that Tremolo doesn´t want a romantic relationship with her. Let´s say that her smile scares the shit out of him or whatever. Jill helps Tremolo when Chad assaults him. That´s reason enough to maintain a friendship with her. She´s clearly a nice girl and Tremolo is grateful. Also, she covers Tremolo´s back with Tybald after Tremolo´s shenanigans at the prep´s party. Makes sense that, even if he´s not in Jill´s route, he learns to play the song for her, helps her in the concert and in general try to be a good friend for her.

- Bella: again, let´s imagine that Tremolo only want to be a friend of Bella´s. Makes sense since she´s old, married and a teacher. Bella helps him when he´s naked in the parking lot, reason enough to be grateful. Also she´s really understanding when he goes drunk to the date dinner, and also is a teacher. It´s always good to have a good relationship with a teacher if you are a student. Again, makes sense that Tremolo cultivates and maintains that friendship.

- Sage: I can´t possibly imagine a reason why Tremolo wouldn´t want a sexual and romantic relationship with that bombshell, but whatever. Let´s imagine that. Sage tries to manipulate Tremolo at the beginning of the game to spy Chad, and Tremolo ends up being a target of Chad and the Alphas. Its not a good beginning for a friendship. Actually, I don´t like that presentation of the character of Sage at all. But we can´t change it, so... Then Sage keeps asking for favors: teach me how to play guitar, teach me self defense... It makes sense if Tremolo is looking for something, but spending so much time with a girl that is mostly asking for things and that is a potential source of troubles with a half-man half-gorilla like Chad, only by "friendship"... I don´t thin so.

I think there is a good reason why Tremolo would want to be friend of Sage: he can met the other HOTs thanks to his friendship with Sage. But that should be explained with a line of dialogue or some kind of interior monologue of Tremolo. It´s plausible that Tremolo wants to be Sage´s friend, but it´s not well explained.

- Quinn: Again, let´s think that Tremolo only wants to be a friend of Quinn and nothing more. A DIK Tremolo would like that kind of "bad" girl and he would enjoy the banter with her. Again, it´s difficult to see Tremolo looking only for friendship with a girl like Quinn. It always makes more sense if he looks for sex with a girl like her. She doesn´t seem to be the kind of girl that has real friends, she seems to be always looking for something or having a hidden agenda with all the people she met. But again, she´s the vice-president of the HOTs, and a good relationship with her could lead to a good relationship with the other HOTs, so it could make sense, if it were better explained.

- Maya & Josy: Tremolo is forced to fall for them, or at least have a big crush for the both of them. And then he discovers that they are actually lesbians, into a relationship, and have been manipulating him. Also, they are a big source of drama and problems. There is no way in hell that a boy with two testes and half of a brain would want to be a friend of them. The only possibility to maintaining a relationship with them would be Tremolo wanting to be bigamous, or wanting to steal Josy from Maya, or Maya from Josy. Maya is Derek´s sister, and Derek is Tremolo´s friend. Well, makes sense that Tremolo would maintain a correct relationship with her to not make Derek uncomfortable, but never a real friendship. But actually, Tremolo spends even more time with them that with the Li that he wants as a couple. It doesn´t make sense at all. That´s why I think that M&J characters have been hammered into the plot and the game would be better without them. IMO, DPC should have reserved them for a dedicated game. A linear VN in which the player only has they as LIs, or something. I would not play it, but I suppose it would have its public. But DPC has created the backbone of the plot around two characters that shouldn´t have any special relationship with the MC, unless the player is clearly following their route. Thats a great mistake, IMO. M&J don´t belong to BaDIK.

Sage has done something else good for Tremolo. She introduced him to the realities of campus. Explained to him how fraternities work.

You have the wrong thought process with Maya and Josy. They are not lesbians. Tremolo falls in love with both of them. And through the friendship and the Maya-Patrick problem, Tremolo gets a chance to get to know the Burkes privately in EP8. That would be completely pointless without the friendship with Maya. Who knows where that will lead Tremolo.

Not true, in my experience it is completely possible if she is ugly

Occasionally it works, even when they're not ugly. My ex is one of my best friends. After we broke up and all the stress of the relationship was behind us, the friendship worked wonderfully and has been for almost 20 years. Or maybe it just worked because we were way past the phase of sexual attraction. :unsure:

Hey guys! Quick question for you!

I'm currently playing v0.7.2.

For the newest version, do I need to completely redownload the game (I heard he changed stuff with how saves behave) or can I just download the v0.8.2 update patch?

Thanks in advance and sorry if the question was already answered! :)

A question about saved game files. before the release of ep8 there were 2 locations for saved games one in the game folder itself lets call that regular saves and the second was in the username/appdata/roaming/renpy folder let's call that persistent saves. After playing Ep8 you get to save games for season 3 lets call this season 3 saves. Where are the season 3 saves? I would like to back that up in case I have a drive failure etc prior to 2054 when season 3 is released. Also do we know what happens to season 1&2 after season 3 is released?

looks to be username/appdata/roaming/renpy/persistent (not ../renpy/BeingaDIK/persistent). at least mine is located there in the linux equivalent. file is called BeingADIKSeason2Transfer and some numbers afterward. season 1+2 will remain a separate game, essentially.

hey guys im a new player, the game so far has been great, but I have one question, Im trying to go for sage first and it was mentioned that she likes bad boys, I was wondering if this meant that Im going to have to choose all dik options and just ignore every other option in the game for fear of being locked out of sage route.

You can be good or bad boy, it does not matter I think she is the only Li who so far does not have a requirement (Affinity) to be on her route

Am I strange if I like Bella not for her physical characteristics but for her nature? Actually, I'm not a fan of wasp-like waists at all.

Strange ??? Like Doctor ? :LOL: Nope I don't think so... maybe you just have affinity with dan/kuudere types... and what should be wrong with that ? OR strange ? :unsure::rolleyes::WaitWhat:
