You want something even crazier?

That's not a mannequin. That's actually Stephen dressed as a soldier. He sneaked in Bella's house to peep on her, but obviously drunk MC wasn't in his plans and accidently ran into him in the middle of the night. Put on the spot he stood still and pretended to be a mannequin.

Besides we never run into the mannequin after that night again. :Kappa:

I'm not opposed to the idea of integrating 2D artwork into a 3D game, and I think it's been done about as well as it could be in BaDIK.

I just wish DPC hadn't picked FlowerXL to do the artwork. The faces all look the same, and the tits all look like fake balloons.

Well, let's hear it. I'm legitimately interested to play these games that have much better dialogue.
I'll have to message you, cause apparently even when you talk about BaD in a post it's totally off topic if you mention any other game. But not right now. I'm seriously bombed.

I don't disagree with you here. (I will disagree with those daring to call Lily 'flat', however. Petite isn't flat, you mouth-breathing heathens). All of the 2D artwork seems to have overly enhanced the women, and many of them very much do look alike, which reduces the appeal somewhat.

I am, however, thankful that it's not wasting DPC's rendering time, he just has to insert it into the right portion of the game, which is a very minimal thing compared to all the rest of the work in making the game.

Overall an excellent VN but with some serious shortcomings as well....

I REALLY wish some of the most interesting LIs would look like actual women and not like blow up sex doll caricatures or something a 14 year old with raging hormones would draw in a sketchbook. Namely Isabella and Jill are very well written, they have great arcs, but every time I see them I just cannot help thinking how either ridiculous, Isabella, or weird and alien, Jill, they look and how interacting with them feels silly. Jill's face is especially offputting on top of her overall proportions, to me she looks at times like a female Michael Jackson. And Isabella's proportions are just Spinal Tap levels of ridiculous. at least her face is pretty.

Fortunately everyone else is fine, many characters look even great, but as far as main LIs are concerned two look not like actual human beings, two other (very sweet and natural looking) LIs, Maya and Josy, are locked behind a forced threesome (at least for now, let's see what the future will bring), and some of the really interesting and/or good and realistic looking characters are just "others" with limited content unfortunately or they aren't even LIs and have almost zero content (Elena). A Jill that looked more like Elena would be perfect, in my opinion. The Elena DAZ model looks more like a shy and somewhat insecure and innocent character and would have been a much better fit for Jill in my opinion.

The dev can absolutely create pretty and believable characters, why they made two of the major LIs so outlandish is maybe their particular sense of humor, can't say... It's not gamebreaking, the game is otherwise one of the best VNs ever, but it's very unfortunate because it feels so unnecessary.

It's ok, don't worry about it. Not worth getting the slaps.

weird and alien, Jill

Welcome to the BaDIK thread fraternity sir. Your dues have now been paid in full.

Regarding Bella, it's her small waist that bothers me, not the curves. I like games with a variety of body shapes and sizes. I'm cool with Bellas as long as we have some Lilys to offset. Anyway, it sounds like Josy body is more your speed. She and Maya will likely breakup at some point (if you direct it with your choices), so I'm sure you can have a solo with her eventually.
