Guys, seems there was a leak from ep 9. I found a post in reddit, there is a lot of spoilers and renders.
Who do you think could have done something like that?

Thank god is fake because i can't see a scene with Nicole. Hope still alive.

With Maya and Josie, there will probably be something like group sex.

JoJo and May are concern about take MC's footlong in the ass, so the sweet Tremolo ask to whom is already experienced in this subject to help them.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, that was colorful language and not meant literally. People "steal" kisses and moments and shit in romantic media all the time, MC is expected to be taking from a few (or several, or many) jars and should do that (MC shouldnt be in only one) that was my point, and apparently I failed horribly at conveying this. Sorry my bad.




Thats a very good point, trusting the customer and shifting the content but not always. If theres a cohereant story outline already and DPC is sticking to it like the writer he is I think the error is in being able to singly pursue someone, it breaks the story kinda and thats why Zoey is needed now halfway in, to make it a story, to force people into a love triangle. The problem is that its taken too long since development start to reach this point, many fans have become too focused on the one LI and cant look beyond it.

To me going into a single LI in a narrative work like this so alien so the crossroad as an event wasn't of huge importance at all, instead a focusing and catalyst for drama not against it to do sappy stuff. Its like making a love story (a bit of hyperbole: like Gatsby or Wuthering Heights) and removing one of the suitors and obstacles until its only the one couple instead of a love triangle. It would end up having zero tension. Instead is a damn Marty Stu/Mary Sue story, an infallible main character that does no wrong, is great at everything(massive fighter, plays the guitar, huge dick, charismatic leader, snares all the ladies because everyone wants a piece) that always succeed. Supremely boring and most of all an extremely bad read. Like 99.9% of fan fiction. (IMO BaDik is in the porn category of story first with lots of smut instead of Porn first and story is whatever batshit insane "landlord" and "housemate" bullshit you always ignore since is copy pasted from elsewhere and fast forwarded through.)

MC have to be a shitty partner and break people to make the story sound (or the LI have to do it). I think the timing is great, its midway into the story which is good place to start raising the stakes, getting a label and enter into a bit of commitment (on the surface but not actually doing it maybe?) or you add new character from the outside that emotionally* means more to the story than any of the current LIs, its all done so it can come crashing down later in the final act. It have to come down in the final act how else is it a story worth reading!? Imo DPC feels like a writer first, porn delivery guy secondly. How the hell do you churn a happy, content and successful monogamous dating into an interesting story for 8 more episodes where the setting is collage, partying and sex? And multiply by 5 to match each different LI. Each requiring happy soppy stuff to cater to each girls fans? It just doesn't make sense from any angle imo to do that or make an outline like that. MC have to do dumb shit and fuck it all up (or the LIs). Simply HAVE to fuck it up.

*I dont think much of "your" or "my" choices because they shouldn't and cannot overshadow story, and thats why often when I read anger directed at Zoey or the Interlude, I think many fans are ignoring what have been written and shown to us (MC likely doing at least two LI and a side or two perhaps) people have instead made their own fanfiction in their head instead where there is only the one LI and with no sides and carefully follows walkthroughs to enable that at maximise favorability. Why else would the anger be so extreme (at times) for Zoey? Because she is presented with huge emotional pull on the MC that works in an out of story if you look at it in whole, its coherent and match up with MCs character in the first couple episodes, its in fact greater than all the LIs at the moment. And each vocal fans fanfictionlike headcannon cannot easily accommodate that, all they see is danger and the stress response is anger imo. Great content, it just cannot compete with fanfiction headcannon where every word against headcannon is treated as shit.

All in all, If its all only wholesome stuff happening... its boring. Might as well stop reading and just skip through all text until you get the lewd scenes at that point (which manwhore mode kinda facilitates if thats your thing while also enabling huge drama if you like everything burning , which is what it seems to be leaning towards for that particular path which I enjoy as well, the aftermath is whats interesting). I think im rambling. Been going over this reply too much.

I get where you're coming from and with I agree with parts of it, but I think as much as we all hope, the stories that we - the players - dream up become canon, we have to look at what actually is canon.

As of right now, DPC put a hard stop at the end of Season 8, not the players, not wishful thinking, DPC did. And he went as far as he could, short of using chastity belts, to ensure that all other sexual LI ties, except for the girl you chose, are cut off. Even Jade was taken of the field and put onto the bench, and he did give everyone the choice to stay single.

If you take a linear progression, from what we can tell after season 1+2, I think most agree that it goes roughly like this:

Season 1 - Joining the DIKs and getting to know everyone
Season 2 - Zeroing in on a certain LI and/or fucking everything that moves.

Now logically, a 'normal' progression for Season 3 would be :

Season 3 - Being in a relationship or fucking everything that moves.

And both those choices are present and accounted for. You have a point, that Zoey is a joker wildcard, and we have no idea yet where she will fit in and how.

You make the point that there has to be tension, and I agree with that, but why does it have to be love/sex drama tension ?

Why cant it be that the DIK's face a huge problem that threatens them, why cant it be Quinn making the HOT's explode, or drama related to your LI choice. Stuff like you chose Bella, and Burke of all people finds out, or you choose Sage and you have to deal with Jade, Tybalt and Stephen, or you choose Jill and her family doesnt accept you, or you choose MJ and the MC has to deal with Patrick and Tommy.

Wouldnt the game feel stale, if we recycle the same problems over and over, just with different faces ? Shouldnt there be a natural progression ?

Now I'm not claiming or suggesting that the Episode 8 choice should be final, as a matter of fact, the No/Yes Sage path proves that choices arent always final, but given what it took to get there, it should take a good amount of time to cancel it and to reorient the MC.

And who knows, so far cheating has never been an issue, because the MC didnt have anyone to cheat on, maybe thats a big part of the Season 3 progression, or as others suggested, consensual 3ways with your LI, well or 4ways if you're on the MJ path.

Above all this towers one question, we can discuss what will or wont happen, but we have to ask ourselves : Was the Ep08 decision meaningful for DPC ?

And what we should discuss is : Should the Ep08 decision be meaningful or just a cliffhanger before we go back to what we did the first 8 episodes ?

 

[exazubi]

maybe, maybe not. she's extremely jealous as a girlfriend.

There is no "maybe". This scene already exists. You just have to play the dik route, specialize in Sage and Quinn there. And then, of course, make the right decisions about it.

 

[mizilic]

I am totally confused by the use and meaning of this "Interlude" and also by the fact that nobody seems to care enough to post a comment here about it! I play and play and i can see no connection with BaDIK, the game that i love so much.

Where are the girls? What the fuck has this Zoey, MC's old fuck buddy, have to do with them and with the choices we made previously? I made 6 saves at the end of Version 8 and imported them all in this fuckin Interlude. Do i have to play now this stupid Zoey story 6 times and save again 6 times in order to be able to go on with those choices when the next update comes?

Or is this the way Pink Cake wants to fuck with us this time? Like.. "OK I won't kill a LI this time but i give you a completely different story that has no relation and no influence on the choices you made in the main story and on what will happen after it in the normal game".. if anything will ever come back to "normal" after it and will go on..

So WTF is this? I don't like this Zoey , I don't like tattoos, I don't like heavy metal, I don't like surfing... I don't want to play this shit 6 times! I want BaDIK!

Would somebody know if maybe at the beginning of the next update of the REAL game (if any) we will have again the choice to import our OLD saves from the end of Version 8. Coz if not, i will NOT play this stupid "Interlude" 6 times in order to make 6 new saves which, this time, can not be any different from each other! I better give up BaDIK completely!

DPK, SAY SOMETHING!

 

[exazubi]

Group sex refers to more than 4 people having sex with each other, you talk about threesome

As far as I know, a group is more than 2 people. This also includes the 3-way constellations MMF and MFF. What if two swingers had sex and they swapped partners? That's 4 people. Wouldn't that be group sex?

No matter, there is at least 1 threesome scene in the game. And it's good too.

There will very well be a connection with the next season. only the developer knows what that might look like. I strongly believe that Zoey will show up at college

 

[den_tiger]

I think we should consider the LI-agnostic issues. These will be the same regardless of the LI chosen. That will be the backbone of the story.

1. DIK issues -- who is the traitor? will there be problems regarding the Halloween party? For example, will the alphas cause trouble? Will Tommy's drug problems affect the DIKs in the long run?

2. Maya's tuition -- will Sage be able to help her get it? what will be the conditions? how will Burke turn this into his favor? How will this affect the relationship between Josy and Maya?

3. HOT issues -- there's a prostitution and drug ring via Quinn using the HOTs. Will they be discovered? How will this affect the HOTs?

4. MC's heritage -- The MC might discover something important about his heritage in his mom's diary. How will this affect him and how will this affect the overall story?

5. Zoey's return -- she's looking to rekindle what she had with the MC. Regardless of his choice, except maybe for the others, this is going to affect the Mac's relationship with his LI.

that was when they were just fbs. sage was even pushing Quinn to the MC as a way of protecting herself. as a girlfriend (to Chad) she was extremely jealous. the change to girlfriend status mighther openness to sharing the MC. but who knows? that's why I said maybe, maybe not

Why did Camila drink too much water? Does she want to take a pregnancy test? She is already on the way to the right toilet.

Going to disagree. The cheap wood veneer surface looks right, but the underlying structure and details don't quite fit. I considered if it could be the table next to the toilet, but the surface grain goes in the wrong direction for that to fit.

Not impossible, I suppose, but this looks like it must be someplace else.

Who is Zoya?

Remember ?

 

[sixart]

it must be someplace else.

Like Heathers desk for instance ?

 

[Dasanko]

I get an error when I open the game with this patch applied (0.8.2), it tells me every script in the patch is defined twice.

"The label basket_game_label is defined twice, at File "season2/scripts/classes/basketball/basketball.rpyc", line 78:

and File "game/season2/scripts/classes/basketball/basketball.rpy", line 78:"

Curious. Have you tried deleting the rpyc file, or at least just moving it to a different folder outside of the game?

 

[NewTricks]

I just thought of this, but it's possible Heather will have sex with the MC, depending on your choice whether you'd give her the jacket or not if she was your girlfriend, as she has permission to have sex with someone else.

It's also pretty interesting that Heather is suddenly nice to the MC after Jill's performance.

If there is one bitch in this game that the MC shouldn't fuck, it has to be Heather. Her bovine attitude earns her nothing but her current cuckquean status, rubbing it out herself as the MC fucks others in front of her and her boyfriend NTRs her behind her back.

Who is Zoya?

It is the version of Zoey but in Russian

 

[v1900]

So is Zoey going to show up to burn your LI's house down or what?
