Why My Download Speed is So Slow For All the Links Just In This Game ?
Why Does Random Internet Stranger Capitalize Every Word?
please how can i play the interlude
Download it. Unzip it. Off you go. You'll need Season 1+2 exported save data to begin.
I am right. In Zoey's review, the MC clearly says that the last time he had contact with Zoey was six months ago.:p

And that was roughly during MC's 2nd week of college, so now it's been more like 8 months since he's spoken with her.

It wouldn't shock me if she did. She is a "Dudley Do Right" and she is extremly angry the guy she fell in love with and best friend both played her. She has that "I am going to stab you over 50 times to death, chop your dick, watch you bleed to death and eat your organs angry face going on.
But you got the keyword there, they're best friends, from what we've seen, Jill means the world to Bella and the feeling is probably reciprocate so I don't really see her ratting out her best friend, even if she starts hating her and MC after what they did.

My bet is that there will be some kind of redemption arc for the rest of the season, or even maybe the rest of the game where MC works hard to repair Bella and Jill's friendship. MC and Jill's friendship is one thing I'm very curious about, I think it might be one of those Cathy's panties, "consequences of your choices" kind of deal where DPC says "fuck it", locks us out of certain content in that route and we players have to come to terms with.

Was there a patch to upgrade version 0.7.2 to version 0.8.0?
Or do I need to do fully download the new update?
There was never, and will never, be an official patch from 7 to 8, because he changed from 32-bit to 64-bit RenPy. Some members of the community made an unofficial patch, but it was easier to just torrent the whole thing from RPDL.
anyone else notice all the unprotected sex and no one pregnancy issue. damn this boy has poor swimmers haha
He's been in college less than 2 months. Excluding Bella, I doubt most of them would know if they were pregnant in that time window in the first place.

Not to say I'm not trying, of course.

If this game had normal RL pregnancy then 90% of the girls there would already be pregnant, or on the pill, even before MC arrives.
And what exactly makes you think they are not on it already ? :unsure: ( just because it's not depicted explicitly... though think again ;) )
Things like this are the reason I won't play Episode 9 right away, but wait for other people to check out the "Others" path first.
Chicken... :LOL::ROFLMAO::KEK:

how do I play the interlude? when I download it I only have the option to load in previous saves (which I have none)
Before you get lambasted by the other denizens of the board, I'll tell you that you do need a save to play the interlude. You can playthrough the "main game" or get a save from a friend. A few pages back someone posted a save they were pretty proud of. If you ask real nicely you could probably get one from some kind soul.

I know what most people don't care about Emma and Bret since they are brand new characters but what do you guys predict will happen to the two of them in the future. I feel like they kinda represent the worst case scenario of what could happen in a "Zoey route- bad end".

As far as their canonical endings, will depend on wether they hook up by the end of the Interlude. If they don't I imagine that's the end of it for them. If they do, it'll be bumpy but I imagine they'll work it out with each other despite the awkward morning after.

As for their future in BaDIK? I imagine it's going to be something similar to how Steve is treated in the game. Is there to help the player mold MC's (in this case Zoey's) personality then disappear into the sunset. Maybe show up later in the story as sorta fan-service or "if it isn't the consequences of my actions" sorta thing. But all in all rather meaningless to the the characters story.

Emma's cookoo and pretty much vintage trailer trash, so in her future i see 5 cents gumjobs to pay for meth.

Bret's a standup dude but loose with money, as can be evinced by his paying Zoey to literally just stand around, so i see him going bankrupt in a few years, then slowly falling into an abyss of alcohol and depression - partly fueled by the desertion of all his friends and loved ones - until finally he'll be enticed by a man of dubious intent into playing the geek in some godforsaken circus at the very edges of the civilized world, thus unknowingly - or maybe knowingly - fullfilling the macabre destiny he was always meant for.

Or what the guy above me said.

Wow, take it easy, Sage! No need to curb stomp Zoey's previews from the Interlude this badly! :ROFLMAO:


Considering that the basis of romantic relationships in the game are love triangles and relationship problems in the third season are likely to be guaranteed. That's when Zoey will show up (in my opinion). MС quarreled with Jill for some stupid reason, he will suffer and then Zoey will come to him to comfort him. A girl for consolation is of course a banal plot device, but this is the only way I see an opportunity to create drama and tension in season 3.
Really? As you noted, the MC's nascent relationships are beset with dangers (except maybe for Jill's, which is merely riddled with them). I don't think we *need* Zoey to instigate drama.


in real life it works like this... in that moment: "insert name of your choice" is the woman of his life, the moment Zoey arrives everything changes, because his life changes and he has to take it into account.

Mc is not a robot, the return of his first love, this time willing to a relationship, is not a minor event.
I never said Zoey would be a minor event. I said the MC can't just abandon his new girl because Zoey bats her eyelashes at him, and I stand by that.

First, this isn't real life. It's a story. If the MC keeps repeating the same arc over and over again, the story gets boring. Season 1 and Season 2 both ended with the MC deciding he needed to take a potential relationship seriously and not act on autopilot. If he goes right back on autopilot the instant he sees Zoey, well, you don't need me to do the math.

Second, I'm not sure real life is all that different. If I commit to a girl only to immediately backtrack over an old flame, I think she would be right to question my sincerity.

since the interlude is the last "chapter" I have to assume that it is worth more than what was said before that could be "retconned" again, it takes precedence.

at the beginning of her experience in San diego, Zoey consoles herself thinking that in the end Mc will be able to join her in a little less than a year (Zoey's thoughts), this means that MC's academic year is yet to start or at the most it has just started

then we know that at the end of the school Mc doesn't reach her and decides for college. there is no way that their separation lasted less than a year storywise

but going further: Zoey, what kind of a bitch would she be not to wait a couple of months for MC to finish high school? she still has the whole summer ahead of her to learn how to surf. it would be extremely selfish.
But again, we're explicitly told Zoey is still in school at the start of the Interlude: it's the reason she can't visit her grandmother.
Zoey_school_1.jpg Zoey_school_2.jpg
Unless we think Zoey was signed up for summer school, this takes place during the MC's senior year in high school. This can't be the tail end of his senior year, because then there isn't enough time for him to have lost contact with her 6 months before Episode 3. It can't be his junior year, or else it would be more than a year before he could join Zoey (and, you know, the age thing). This has to be in the fall semester, which technically matches the retconned timeline.

As for Zoey being a bitch, the whole point of the Interlude is that she ignored what she had in search of greener grass. She felt like she needed to prove herself to her grandmother and had a pile of money burning a hole in her pocket. Waiting for the MC (when she didn't even realize how much he meant to her) was the adult move, but Zoey was still young and naive.

I'd say the real question is what Zoey learned from her time in San Diego, but we'll have to wait until at least Episode 9 to learn that.


Wow, blast from the past. I haven't seen that image in a while. Great outfit. Season 1 renders are better than I remembered. Might need a new canon playthrough to experience it all again. Why not. There is plenty of time until the next episode. I wonder if regular Friday updates will return this week.
I expect we'll get updates on Friday fairly routinely, if that's what you mean. I very much doubt DPC will return to regular render counts. :cry:


But this doesn't make sense to me, I have two saved, one with Sage where I have the last expression and one with the "other" path where I have the middle expression.
The caption isn't talking about the branch (the choice of girlfriend during the crossroads breakfast scene), it's talking about who the MC slept with during the run. The middle image is if the MC slept with Sage OR slept with Jade. Did your "Others" path save fool around with either of those two (even if he didn't ultimately pick Sage)?


Because its a meaningless distinction in the situation. A person he didn't know was a friend or more moved far away, was starting to talk to him less and either got a boyfriend or was fucking someone so had moved on so he did the same.
It's a rather significant distinction, both in terms of our expectations and in terms of how the MC sees Zoey. The issue isn't the MC moving on, it's him assuming that Zoey had a long term partner based on learning she fucked a guy. If the MC had a history of conflating sex and love that would make sense, but that's one thing the MC does not seem to have a problem with.


should Jade find out that MC left her for her daughter would she really be so cruel as to want to destroy her daughter's relationship or would she rather have a reaction similar to Bella's when she finds out MC leaves her to be with Jill (another probably overrated drama)?
In the short term? No, definitely not. Jade is not the most well adjusted person and the MC's "betrayal" is pushing a very sensitive button. In the long term? She still probably won't be as gracious and introspective as Bella was, but I expect Jade would grudgingly appreciate the MC taking a relationship with Sage seriously (not that she'd tell him so).
