Its not in the walkthrough but when Josy texts you a pic of her outfit for the weekend DO NOT ask to see the backside or you will get RPJosy -1

Oh I see. Thx!

Superb game from the start. Knowing the developer, it can only get better.

I've played a lot of games but I don't think I've ever seen a more beautiful character than Jill. The high def textures, render sample combined with perfectly positioned lights make her the best made character I've ever encountered. Amazing work!

She's mine. You can look but you can't touch. lol

 

[AnonGuy]

Can we make Magnar watch?

Can we make Magnar assfuck Chad?

 

[Goblin Baily: DILF]

I'll touch her ovaries

 

[TiffanyMonroe]

Actually wrong, it doesn't give you -1, it's the other choice that gives you +1.
There's also RPSage +1 for "It's better than my idea to make them fuck in front of you" that's not in the walkthrough.

I find it weird how he decided to recolor the girls skin in some scenes instread of putting actual clothes on them. On kathys hand job it's obvious she isen't wearing gloves at all. It's just her skin changed color. I saw this even in Acting lessons on several scenes where Leah in the toilet is the most obvios. She is wearing stockings but her toes are simply just black from her skin having a color change. Concidering all the voice acting and other things that ooz of quality i hope @DrPinkCake starts using a diffrent render method for this. It looks really bad.

I don't know your experience with DAZ etc., but working with clothes in animations is a living nightmare. As soon as they start to clip or adjust in a way that is noticeable the whole animation can be ruined. Baking the skins with clothes is a strategy that circumvents that, especially when the clothing will collide during the animation. You didn't mention Jade's attire in your comment; her stockings are also baked. (Leah's stockings were awful; I'm still learning stuff daily)
So, yeah at times I will do that, because realizing too late that an animation that took 10 days to render failed is not an option for me. I intend to work with clothes in animations, too. It's a tradeoff.

I didn't say it's relevant. I'm just curious. And it's a deffo same universe - DIK would be just too much of coincidence.

Originally it was meant to be a prequel to AL. I dropped that idea. but kept the DIK part because of reasons. It's not the same universe, nor should you expect to see any deliberate reference or face from AL. It's a new story, I'm starting fresh. So if you play the updates waiting for it to turn into AL 2.0, you will miss out on the journey.

After reading the comments from fellow players, from what I noticed is that there are so much negativity comments in terms of the plot. Relax! It is just episode 1. These types of VN games must have the suspense to keep us, players anticipate for more. I'm sure DrPinkCake have more dramas in the upcoming episode, just like ActingLesson. I trust DrPinkCake will not disappoint us. Give him your support instead of giving him the negativity that he doesn't need.
Cheers!~

That happens with most games and threads around here. Some players need frame of references so they relate the game to things they know or to what I've done before. That's why you see comments about house fires and murder, because they don't get what this game is really about, yet. Nor can they, as you said it's just Episode 1. I barely pay attention to the hate and negativity anymore. You get jaded after hearing it all. I listen to the constructive feedback that will help improve the game and just plough on with game development. Thanks for the support, though!

Did the dev ever said, what rig he uses to create such big scenes with many models in it? Normally It would take ages to render such scenes, even with high end graphic cards

2 PCs with equal specs. 2x1080Ti, 32 GB RAM. Will upgrade RAM to 64GB later when I can afford it, right now I'm saving up for voice actresses.
Rendering the big scenes is tricky at times. For this scene I did two renders, superimposed the images and layered out the right and left parts. I used the MCs head as the vertical cutoff point.

It's way faster than rendering the entire scene at once. With my PC, the limit is ~7 characters in a scene, if I'm lucky.

The mc really needs a gf(Jill) to take him clothes shopping. lol

Ok my mistake. Just dont ask to see the backside and your golden.

There was some discussion earlier about this girl:

You must be registered to see the links

I totally hope she will featured more in later releases, she's mad cute!

She's the same girl that sits next to Maya in the genderstudies class, isn't she?

 

[AnonGuy]

but kept the DIK part because of reasons

I'm replaying AL and just noticed Angela has HOT written on her cheerleader suit, lol.

As for me, I'm just playing BaDIK as if it's from the same universe of AL, but not related (e.g. Jonas and Liam may pledge at DIK after the end of BaDIK and we ain't gonna see 'em, which is perfectly fine and actually a plus for me).

How do you use phone in this game?

Of course she is

It's in the upper-left corner of the screen.

It's good and interesting idea, but there is one big inconsistency ... if you take it as prequel to AL with Jonas & Liam pledging AFTER the events of BADIK, it's logical, that this game should be set in the end of 20th century/beginning of 21st century, but all the technology, items, style is from the present, so for me it's just like Pink said, (sadly) different universe set in same time (present) ...

 

[AnonGuy]

but there is one big inconsistency

I kind of know, I've actually thought about this; still it cannot be the other way around, since it's stated in BaDIK that DIK is only a couple of years old and if Jonas and Liam had already pledged we would have to meet 'em, which is not happening.
On the other hand is not like AL has an 80s vibe or something on it, it can easily be happening in our times: since BaDIK will probably cover no more than one college year, Jonas and Liam may be pledging the following year without major temporal inconsistency imo.

Also, as I said, I'm not trying to create a canon: this is just how I chose to live this story and it's working fine for me. It's the same for books or movies, you can speculate as you want about what isn't explicitly shown

I really enjoyed Acting Lessons, so I'm excited to see where this goes.

Think AL 2.0 with turbo-boost
