Guys, I am new to VNs. BaDIK and Acting Lessons are the first two I played.

What does LI mean? I know what MG is. (Main Girl) Any other Acronyms I need to know going forward?

Also, does anybody have or knows where to get the phone notification sound from the game? I've been so obsessed from BaDIK, I want to use it as my ringtone too. Lol.
The phone sound could be in the phone app map but not sure about that.... There might be a map for all sounds but it would be possible to find it with UnRen i guess.

LI = Love Interest (Sixart says so, so it's true!)
MG = Main Girl (or Main Guy in homo-erotic VN's)
VN = Visual Novel (think the japanese invented that name so they didn't have to tell their GF's they are playing a game)
GF = Girl Friend (there's usually several of them in VN's but please don't let any GF know)
RP = Relation Point(s) ; some games you need them to get intimate scenes, BaDik uses them only for walkthroughs.
EP = Episode (some fans get them regularly in discussions while waiting for next update)
MFF = 1 guy and 2 girl threesome (usually MC is involved)
MMF = 2 guys and 1 girl threesome (usually Arieth is involved)
NTR = Basicly it's a mess in any forum thread that gets a visit from the people describing what it exactly is.

If I recall correctly, DrPinkCake introduced another blue-haired girl into the 2nd Episode of his other game, and she became a heroine in at least one route.
You do have a point, although her route was kinda like an asshole path for MC seeing that he cheats on Meg/Meg and Mel with her and overall Rena was filled with jealousy and envy for the most part but I did like her tho. She also appeared in Retrieving the past as the MC's neice until she was recasted lol.

If so it would remain bad news, because if you are tired of something is not a month's break (probably even less) to solve the situation.

unfortunately (based on very little, almost nothing) I have too this impression (about DPC's fatigue not about Zoesy being an impromptu solution to the problem)

but I highly doubt that Zoey can have such a lasting impact on the plot of BADIK, even if it is likely that she will become a permanent member of the cast.
It was also admitted by him that it was a nice break and felt like one creating this piece rather than moving forward with the plot. So, it shouldn't be based on very little lol. I should say it was admitted that it was a break not that he's becoming bored with the plot.

Do y'all think there will be some nods or details to the current events of BaDIK or will it completely consist of the past experiences of Zoey and will be unrelated to the main game?

There are many aspects of Being a DIK that I really like (and a few that I dislike, but that's for another rant), but perhaps the most important one is the connection I feel with its characters. This results solely from the quality of the writing. I'm not saying DPC is on the level of prominent authors, nor will he be winning major literary awards, but the fact remains he is writing a story in which I not only care about the characters, I have enough invested emotion in them that I feel their pain, sadness, anger, and happiness, and often (but not always) I can relate to their feelings.

So call me crazy, but despite the fact that in Episode 8 my heart melted when Jill came knocking, that my heart was racing after the poolside dinner date with Bella, that my stomach was in knots at the lake with Sage (even though I knew the outcome), despite all the emotional states in which I've made myself comfortable over the last 8 episodes putting in the work to woo a specific girl or girls, I WANT Zoey as a love interest. I WANT her to turn the MC's world topsy-turvy. Not despite the chaos that will ensue, but because of it.

If DPC's writing style is consistent, then I expect he will make Zoey's presence either enrage, beguile, dispirit, or delight me. It is primarily these types of emotional responses that make BaDIK addicting to me (well, that and Bella). And although I don't want or expect the gut-wrenching experience of a burning house, I do want the emotional brawling to continue, even though as The Goddess puts it...

I'm pretty optimistic (blind faith is not my thing) that it will bring something interesting.

but for the very reasons you point out (the involvement created with the LIs and the main SGs) it's not my first wish that Zoey be added to the line up for split screen time. there are already so many girls who would need space and to be given a story and not instead be left floating.

she's fine to enliven the plot, she'll almost certainly do a better job than recent gimmicks, but as a love interest who el should make room?

I'm just throwing it out there calling Maya May is the most disgusting thing I think I've ever heard in all 8000 pages of this forum.

I won't play it till ep 9 no matter how much praise it gets, if it's avoidable i'll skip it altogether, i do the same with nora & granny stripper.
The problem with zoey is that she's made relevant to the plot so i can't get rid of her.
well, to be frank, this is ridiculous...

i dont like zoey either, i dont want her back in the story and i dont think that she will be a positive add to the game and plot...

But why will you skip it all just like that without even knowing what the interlude will bring exactly?

You dont have a fucking clue what this interlude will give us ,maybe much more than most people think? maybe way more background about other characters not just zoey? and of course its pretty clear to me, we will at least learn something about the MC as well.

Could it really be a possible damage to you to play it? Dont think so... Yeah you dont like Zoey, i too... but i like BaD a lot and how its telling the story and how the characters are made. So iam pretty sure i will have at least a bit fun with the interlude, even if i dont like zoey. And of course i will play it, maybe not at day 1, but sooner or later... i would prefer a whole episode 9 over this interlude every time. But lets face it... its another part of being a dik and as DPC told us, the start of season 3 too, so of course i will play it, and iam very curious how this will turn out.

To shut yourself out of it just out of despite is not very reasonable.

Hi all, sorry for the probably dumb question but could someone give me an idea when we are to expect next update?
From skimming last few pages it seems we're getting an interlude version, maybe soon?
Thanks!
