Which branch? The best one, obviously.

 

[jd8097619]

Bella and Zoey look very good but the main girl missing
can't wait for Josy

Genuinely think Zoey is the biggest waste of development time for BaDIK. Introduced far too late to actually be an interesting choice unless you want to play through 10 fucking episodes first.

 

[rainnnnnn]

I know it's kinda obvious but... I'm doing new gameplay to refresh some things, I know this is just the game but oh god Maya is so fucking stupid. And it is the worst kind of stupidity, feminist who plays victim and thinks she knows all better, I have no idea how this girl can by anyone's favorite.

Kinda shame she is forced and her story is main plot, I would love to let her rot, especially while Josy is best girl out there.

She is not my favourite but she does look really hot with that orange dress and headband in the dorm party of episode 8 also with those thighs high socks in episodes 10.

 

[John Ness]

I think Josy is missing because DPC wanted to mess with Darkwen. And Quinn because of KARAMBA ))

 

[TonyMurray]

Genuinely think Zoey is the biggest waste of development time for BaDIK. Introduced far too late to actually be an interesting choice unless you want to play through 10 fucking episodes first.

Counterpoint: Plenty of people like her because she's an interesting option. You're going to play through 10+ episodes anyway, so it just makes it a shame that she wasn't around earlier to get more time with her.

Counterpoint 2: Bigger waste of time than Madame?

Na ... while development she was run over by a Train. Thats why we can't see Josy anymore.

Just a few more days.

 

[jd8097619]

Counterpoint: Plenty of people like her because she's an interesting option. You're going to play through 10+ episodes anyway, so it just makes it a shame that she wasn't around earlier to get more time with her.

Counterpoint 2: Bigger waste of time than Madame?

On point one, that's exactly the problem in that it takes too long to get to that point. Yes you're going to play through 10 episodes of story anyway but at that point she comes in and it's basically zero rapport or impact. Feels like a character DPC expected to be more integral but by the point she becomes an actual character you've got too many that are far more interesting while all we really know from Zoey is she was Fuckface's prior gf who left and is now back all of a sudden.

Point two, might not be a majority opinion but yes. Madame may be cheap filler that never amounts to more (though episode 10 does hint maybe a larger role in the future) but that is still all it is. Given her scenes are little more than animation tests it probably doesn't require significant development time compared to writing, programming, and posing full scenes for another.

 

[robrize2169]

my playing order. Josy/Maya. Sage/ Bella/ Jill/ all my others path which there are many starting with Zoey. if there is one for her. can't wait for the update..i play at least monthly on a new playthrough, but that's getting tougher to do since i play with minigames on and there are a few minigames i would like to see removed..or made skippable..new math..cough cough..new math..

 

[jd8097619]

There a lot of things that could be call a waste of development I don't think Zoey is one of them.

She got an entire Interlude that is basically a single DIK/CHICK choice when it comes to the main game.

That's a giant waste right there.

Zoey has been promoted to the Love interest statut and the ponytail midget has been demoted to the side girl statut ?

It feels right. I can live with that.

Zoey at the panty party, Maya looking real cute with her earmuffs and mittens (plus that's a brand new shot), Bella front and center where she belongs (and looking beautiful in another new shot), Sage looking rather serious in what I'm guessing is after she gets off the phone in her room with MC, and Jill sporting a cute top to distract in yet another new shot and Josy nowhere to be seen

Almost there!

Given her scenes are little more than animation tests it probably doesn't require significant development time compared to writing, programming, and posing full scenes for another.

She got an entire Interlude that is basically a single DIK/CHICK choice when it comes to the main game.

That's a giant waste right there.

Point 1 - I got a lot more than just "she was his ex", and I like the backstory that you have for her, and that you see her emotions as well, via the interlude. The downside of course is that it's all together instead of spread throughout the previous 8 episodes like with the other girls, however, Zoey isn't one of the main girls who have their own path, and she has more to her story than probably all those others, with the probavbly exception of Quinn (and yes, I'm including Rio, Nicole, et al in this).

Point 2 - Respectfully disagree that Madame is less of a waste of time, and there's not really any evidence that she will play a bigger role, there's only fan theory based on a couple of isolated renders. She has less there than LiBrian has in the background, if you can to go down that route. But regarding the interlide, I wasn't about at the time, but I understand that was also done as something of a test (of the port from S1 to S2, I believe), so it wasn't just a case of having it to introduce Zoey.

 

[treechild1]

the interlude was odd but it isn't the reason things are taking over a year

No, it’s Josy’s “red room” dominatrix mini game that has taken up development time. Her new hobbies are going to dominate this release. We are all just DPC and Josy’s sub playthings.

Point 1 - Unless it suddenly comes back in any notable amount almost all of that is fluff and filler. Imagine if we had an interlude between Seasons 1 & 2 where we spent a day watching Nicole live her normal life (pick up her son, spend time outside of work with colleagues etc). Sure you learn more of the character but is it in any way relevant or benefiting the story in a way that couldn't be reached via conversations in a regular episode? That's the issue I have with Zoey and the Interlude in that even DPC seems to have acknowledged it's all superfluous given only a single choice actually feeds back into the main game and so far her adventure elsewhere has not had any relevancy.

Point 2 - Again, if Madame ends up having no role but the "Madame Scenes" where you instantly teleport to them to just watch a couple of animations, then it really is cheap content filler that are likely nothing more than animation tests.

 

[jd8097619]

the interlude was odd but it isn't the reason things are taking over a year

It's not the reason development now takes so long but I can understand the desire for pretty much everything else. I don't get the point of 60fps animations but I can understand DPCs desire for them. Meanwhile DPC themselves has made the Interlude entirely skippable, which begs the question why they spent months developing it.

 

[Riggnarock]

Lily + Envy/Nicole
Riona (If I have any say about it )
Sage
Josy hopefully without Maya
Jill without Tyballs
And perhaps Zoey

And on the Free Path ill gank about everyone that wont get me into trouble later on

The rest i wont, out of previous promises, to certain People here
