in the end it was much crueller to leave Bella in the eighth (a real punch in the stomach) than to explain the 'betrayal' to Jill in the ninth

actually went quite smoothly, leaving open the possibility of a new relationship
Bella and Jill wasn't really that bad to be honest. They took it pretty well. If you keep maya and josy as lovers and pick sage in the end. That makes you feel like shit. That look on their faces is much worse than how bella or jill take the rejection.

The game is not as dark as AL, I don't think he will kill characters. But this is hypothetically possible, many authors kill off characters, despite the fact that they are popular. Remember the Red Wedding. :HideThePain:
i dont think DPC will do an "AL 2"
many years later people is still hating/crying about that infamous fire and if he does something like that again i think people will abandon DPC games forever. killing people just for the shock value is getting old

I got news for you there is fall and winter and spring and summer every where in the world:WaitWhat: Zoey could had left in the spring of the same year there is no given time frame apart from being close to finishing high school and says she going to fail trig
I know that too, but the likelihood of snow in San Diego is rather low, because even in winter it is between 10°/20° degrees.

Since B&R is close to the MC's hometown and it also snows, the climate will not be as mild as San Diego. By Zoey and the MC being lightly clothed rather than the MC saying goodbye to Zoey, Zoey will have left for San Diego before winter. Ergo, definitely more than 8 months have passed. Also, it is written so that MC left for San Diego over 1 year ago.:rolleyes:

People cried and fought in hysterics, but still this game brought him success. At that time, it was impossible to name such a well-developed game in terms of script / characters, it gave him a basic jump in popularity, which made it possible to quit his main job, invest in computer hardware and start creating his Opus Magnum - Being a DIK.
People who quit the game because "MUH HE KILLED MY FAVORITE CHARACTER" can only be sympathized with - it's not normal to be so hypersensitive.

Nah, they didn't tell it well if you choose one over the other.
Bella being hurt about it is subtle and Jill well she made it pretty clear how she feels.

Didn't DPC retconned the Zoey leaving part in Ep3 from an unspecified time to about 6 months before the MC-Bella cafeteria chat?


I got news for you there's no winter near the equator (a cold day is 20°C) and no summer in Antarctica (a hot day is -20°C). Not everywhere in the world experiences all four seasons in a year.
not 6 months since their departure, but 6 months since their last message, since Zoey's fantastic decision

because it was something new, like in game of thrones
we dont see a lot of shows where the main characters are killed so easily so its was something fresh, new and with a lot of shock value but if all the tv shows and games start using that method it will became boring fast
if DPC kills characters in this game, on his third game what are we expecting? being predictable is not good for business

I consider character death in BaDIK acceptable, but it should be optional, and depend on previous decisions, because the game is an immersive RPG.

Only time Bella and jill take it badly is if you pick bella over jill. But if you pick neither them nor Maya and Josy then Maya and josy takes it the hardest. I case nr 2 bella is hurt but she takes it very maturely and jill is also very understandable when you tell her you fell for someone else.

I like the blue denim and think the brown jacket is ugly.
Like, who is going to actually notice the jacket with the white pants stealing the show.

Based on that, either 2 or 4. Red goes well with Josy's little firecracker personality, and the other two options are pretty bland.

WTF kind of denim is that soo tight...:WaitWhat:
A common issue with lazily done clothing models. See also -- shirts magically conforming to the shape of characters' breasts, as if glued on.

Let's hope it is that way. But be prepared for anything, just in case. This game still has years ahead to get finished. And considering how much it is asking of its author and how much he is investing in his work, even if he is doing all of this with a passion, I can expect him to take a long break or even stop making games altogether after he's done with this game. Plus, he likes to project himself as someone who is faithful to his ideas. Going along with his fans, if that goes against what he, as the author, has previously decided for the story and the characters, would go against that spirit. He might feel as he had betrayed himself by doing so.

The good thing about all this is that we don't really know what he's planned for the story and the characters.
