Why is this game 18 gb exactly? Music etc?
The game has a lot of content, if you play multiple routes be ready to spend serious amount of time. Music, superb renders and story, it perhaps is a highest quality VN/game you can get here. Be sure to try it if you haven't.

DPC has hinted twice in the game that we players might experience spring in BaDIK.

- Tybalt told Jill that he thought the concert would be in the spring.
- The Iron Man competition that B&R is holding is in the spring.
Tbh I think the game will end after 1 year at B&R. Is way too short to end the story in the middle of the year and way too long to end it at the end of the college. So spring will be included too
:rolleyes:So much for the threesome.:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Option 1 time skips several times even during seasons...
Option 2 best prepare for tragedy... or something real shady and or stupid get's done which results in ejection

Either way if it won't revolve around the MCs college life the title would lose all meaning so..... :whistle:

It would make a lot of sense to cover one whole year, but the first suppsedly-half of the game has only taken us halfway through one term. Either things will move a lot faster with a lot more {a few weeks passed with not much happening} ... or there's going to be ten chapters .. or we're only going to reach Christmas.

the fact that Bella said that in game made it all the more satisfying that my MC now calls her mommy as pet name. I derive entirely too much pleasure from exploiting the pet names feature to call LIs things they would hate or forcing them to call me the name of a person they hate or would make them uncomfortable. :devilish:

Maya - Patrick
Josy - Steve
Jill - Nephew (sorry I'm sick)
Isabella - James Jr. or the to be discovered name of her dead son (again sorry, I'm deeply disturbed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
Sage - Stephen
Jade - Derek
Quinn - Rox

Season One spanned almost 2 1/2 in-game weeks. Season Two was either 5 or 6 in-game weeks, depending on the length of the time skip in Episode 7. When you consider the storyline is halfway through the semester, and DPC says he's halfway through the BaDIK story, I doubt it'll have the legs to run two full semesters. I'm expecting the entire BaDIK run will cover a single semester, maybe stretching through the winter break.
I assume the author to make clever use of time ellipses to ignore the dead times that occur throughout the school year. The tempo must speed up as the characters have already been introduced, and the narrative tricks won't be enough to fill the class-party-hangout routine. Longer time frames also test how solid the main character's relationship is without resorting to new drama each week.

Speaking of the timeline, it's funny using it to put this whole "Maya/Josy hurt me" drama in perspective.

Josy shows up at the dorm less than a week after you make out with Maya for the first time, four days after your dinner date with Josy, and the day after you have pseudo-sex with Maya.

Obviously the entertainment industry is saturated with examples of people falling in love after a very short time, such as being stuck in an elevator together, meeting on a transatlantic flight, or other absurdly short periods. We suspend our disbelief of love just as we do for everything else for the sake of immersion.

Is six days enough time for a fictional relationship to turn into a romance? Absolutely. In real life, am I going to act all butt hurt about someone I met six days ago. Doubtful. Don't get me wrong - I would be damned disappointed. But I'm not moping around for three days because two girls for whom I was developing feelings proved that the red flags they voluntarily revealed really were red flags, especially if I have the option to wake up to this:

I might swallow my pride in order to wake up to this:

You're forgetting one detail. Josy and the MC have known each other for much longer. The MC fell for Josy right at the beginning of his summer job. That's how it's written. Ergo, it can be painful for the MC.:rolleyes:

I think a lot of people are forgetting that someone can be emotionally upset and feel angry even while, at the very same time, acknowledging in his head that he can't really justify being that angry because he wasn't that serious yet with either girl...

MC openly admits to being impulsive and not thinking things through before acting. I don't understand why this argument continues.

While MC is spending so much time in the library working, maybe in ep. 9 he can stumble upon an old newspaper clipping that talks about the mysterious deaths of Mr. & Mrs. Bellamaidenname, whose only daughter survived. :unsure: Or better yet, the mysterious disappearance of a certain James Roberts. Or even better, the mysteriously high rate of reported peeping toms in the B&R area who are looking in windows while people are wanking each other off.

Who said anything about axe killer? Where o where do you guys come up with these wacky theories? :giggle:

Regarding peeping, I think DPC included yet another lewd scene in ep. 8 with an ominous camera view from outside the window looking in at the action. Was it Maya's scene? Not sure, but they keep popping up throughout the story. DPc sure is growing fond of that trick.

I agree with you that purely from playing, we will not have more than 1 year of B&R. We lay the foundation for the MC's character development through our decisions during that time. (y)

However, I could see the game ending with the completion of the entire degree, so after 4 years. DPC could extrapolate the last 3 years based on our decisions and present different endings in comic form. This is purely technically possible and would probably be a milestone again.:unsure:
The "happy ending in the future" scenario would actually make a lot more sense if we see where he's at *when gradating college.* if you're going, say, the Sage route, then seeing Sage watch him graduate and all the rest is very easy to believe, whereas there's no reason to assume that whover he gets involved with this early in his life, will be the one he's stll with aged 50 and the mother of all his children... happy ending doesn't have to mean happy ever after.

Did not said it directly but some shady shit was implied there... as to who comes up with such bullshit... your best bet is to ask the theorists themselves :LOL:

my happy ending scenario is the MC as an engineer living in a trailer park paying 10 different women alimony and having a fat Quinn screaming at him to go and buy cigarettes while a 50 year old MC is chasing the young girls in that trailer park or teaching one of his son´s how to get tail and looking all proud as his son performs a threesome with the neighbors daughters!

because seriously Neil house is totally like a trailer park scenario and you can leave the trailer park but the trailer park will never leave you!
