About half an hour.. depending on how fast you read or how bad you are with the mini gamesHaven't had a chance to play through the Interlude yet. How long is it?
Oh, I don't think we have to worry, he's well aware.I'm not saying it will or won't happen, but it always amuses me when people take a single precedence as confirmation that things will or will not happen. A single instance isn't even a trend. And there is this little concept called "doing things differently".
I mean, if DPC isn't free to do things differently and BADIK has to follow AL's precedence, then we all should be wondering which house will catch on fire and who we should be saving.
Relax, DPC isn't going to force you to be with Zoey and dump your chosen girl from episode 8. He didn't do it with Anna from Acting Lessons, much less in BaDIK.

Just did an off-the-cuff comparison between AL and BaDIK, since people often think DPC will repeat things between the games:Oh, I don't think we have to worry, he's well aware.
That said, I'm sure he'll have some similar kind of situation that adds to the tension. Up until the house fire point, I remember the public being extremely positive around the game. My complaint was only that you were not permitted to save Melissa unless you were fucking her, and I really hope he's learned and doesn't do a stupidly slanted bias like that again.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.

Haha, saw that punchline coming a mile off, doesn't mean it didn't bring a smile to my face.Just came on here to say I've only played one game on Steam: The Witcher
Suddenly I open the Steam Store and what do I see? BaD being recommended to me because "you have played games with tags 'mature' 'choices matter' and 'multiple endings'"
Well when you put it that way...I suppose they're the exact same game. Only difference is one game is a loose collection of an unrealistic amount of sex by a bland MC in a game that goes out of it's way to try to come off like it's mature but really comes off as something a child thinks is mature
And the other is BaD
Uh...yes, potentially. Right now it appears there may be endings with LOTS of different love interests.will there be a potencial ending with Bella ( the librarian)?
I like Zoey as a character but I don't think I have any interest at all in playing a route with her. (Then again, with how DPC writes the characters in a compelling way I always end up changing my mind). Still, even though I liked the Interlude I kind of get a little more salty each time the estimated release date is pushed back. Hopefully, as more time passes we can get a clearer idea of a release date.Just found it in myself to play the Interlude, and I am not you're if you're serious or not, but yeah, doing this honestly made episode 9 go into delay more than it should, and it was already gonna be the most dev time we've ever got before. I do understand its point, especially in a solo path in much need of drama now that most stuff got locked. It could be interesting and Chloe Price... I mean Zoey, can have some nice moments to make the MC doubt its own choices.
The reason why I dont think will work as it should its because... well, although she's playable you can only shape Zoey so much. Unlike the MC she's her own character and I dont think will matter much that she has feelings for the MC...
...unless she goes nutjob like Leah after being rejected. Oof, I am already having a bad feeling about this.
PS: I also curious why Sage was acting mad towards the MC at the end of the interlude. Maybe Jade nuclear bomb dropped she's been messing with the MC?Fuck me I should had not played this thing, now I want episode 9 sooo freaking bad.
I share the same sentiments with your last paragraph. That perfectly summed up what was floating around in my head.Another week, another mismatched jigsaw piece. DPC has completed "Big"-35+NewlyRendered animations this week, an average of darnedifiknow/week. Slightly less unhelpfully, we know he's a day or two away from posing static render #2500, and the queue is ~240. Last week we estimated the render count as 2201, which means our current render count should be between 2201 and 2259. A normal day's worth of static completions is ~15-20. If we assume that roughly translates to his expected posing rate, he'd currently stand at ~2235, which is smack dab in the middle of that range. So it's probably a reasonable estimate... if not an optimistic one. Let's take a look at the charts.
As you can see, static render rate took a hit this week. Normally I'd use the current rate for the projections, but since DPC has a solid queue I think it's likely he'll at least approach his overall average rate. Plus the chart was just too depressing at <40 statics per week. Even as is statics are now on pace for a November release, and while that could easily be an outlier, it's hard to believe it's such an outlier that it will offset the already pessimistic animation numbers.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.

There's still a chance DPC will start to cut material near the end to speed things up, but I don't think we should count on it. In short, I think we'll be lucky to get Episode 9 by Halloween at the rate we seem to be going. Obviously that's not what any of us want to hear, but personally I could roll with the lengthy development cycle if I had faith the resulting episode would still deliver. In the wake of the way Episode 8 ended and the wasteland that was the Interlude, however, it's really hard to maintain much faith. I was really hoping we'd either get a short turnaround this time or a better sense of where DPC intends to take Season 3 during development, but I'd say we're getting neither. This is going to be a very tough wait, at least for me.![]()
excuse my ignorance ! but who's the girl in the gif?i have never and will never back down
maya will always be #1
come @ me noobs
Also since no matter how you play the game (believe me I tried almost everything just to check), you end up with the same ending scene going "Fuck. fuck. fuck."
That's actually a good point.
Why does Fuckface react like that on a full CHICK throuple playthrough? The worst he's done is help steal a stag's head from her brother and threw eggs at her brother. Obviously not ideal but hardly enough to provoke that reaction.
Has Fuckface actually grown a braincell and linked Burke's ability to pay tuitions to Mona running away from him at the party and then leaving B&R and how Quinn's restaurant works? Surely we're still a few episodes away from that drama?
Here's a breakdown of all the baggage the mc may have going into the meeting, and my take on why he responds the way he does:I could see him reacting like that on a full CHICK throuple playthrough because maybe he's worried Jade is still salty about being rejected. Idk. I'm just going to leave it at it's going to be one of the scenes where there's going to be different reasons that awkwardly fit in except whichever is the "correct" dialogue.
Also, lol no way he'd be able to make those connections.
I could quibble about some of the details, but I largely agree with your main point. That said, it's not really a fair comparison until BaDIK is complete. AL felt extremely different at the halfway mark than it did at the end.Just did an off-the-cuff comparison between AL and BaDIK, since people often think DPC will repeat things between the games:

On top of that, I'm fairly sure not a single name from AL is repeated in BaDIK, except Melissa and Josy's dads are both called Peter (definitely different kinda dudes though).
Are there any other obvious similarities or startling differences? There's the domestic violence theme in AL that doesn't really have a parallel in BaDIK (maybe Maya's dad controlling her...)
Anyway, my take is they are starkly different games that overlap only in that the they are both AVNs, but other than that, I see no reason to worry that AL's content has/will influenced BaDIK.
I'm pretty sure the MC will remain as clueless as ever. My feeling is the fuckstorm was all about selling a dramatic cliffhanger to the audience. DPC is a slave to the drama, so he had the MC go into a full-on meltdown regardless of exactly how significant the revelation of Sage's family is to him. He probably figured it would keep people hooked over the season break and he could always paper over any seeming inconsistencies in Season 3 if necessary.That's actually a good point.
