Never got the appeal of Sally; no tits, no arse, no sex and she's an arsehole. It has to be a hatefuck thing right? They want her limping away bow legged, gaped and leaking for all them barbs.

This hostile attitude of hers for no reason always cooled me down. And no matter what personal problems she has there, this is not a reason to treat MC like crap. I never liked such people.
So I'm not reaaly care about her possible scenes/branch.

Sally isn't particularly attractive to me either. She's definitely not ugly but I blame the unrealistic beauty standards the other LIs (and whole other games) got us hooked on. You're just not the same after that. Plus she's a standoffish asshole to us for no reason.
Sally is nothing but a trophy fuck to me. I just want to get the chance to fuck her into a temporary vegetative state and document it in a suitable way. I'm somewhat confident that no one else will ever get that far with her again, especially after she's got "taken advantage of" this bad, by me.
Well who am I kidding, DPC is too obsessed with keeping the game "Patreon safe" to implement an encounter like that.

Maybe the real reason DPC left the site was because he could sense I was going to come here eventually
And he wanted to avoid me.

Maybe the real DPC is the friends we made along the way

 

[Ray_D]

Seems to always be the case when people get success. He was actually pretty polite and friendly on F95 while making AL, used to comment mainly from a guest account or PMs from what I remember. Didn't come across as arrogant or a dick just excited and dead set on making what he wanted to make which aren't bad things.

Don't know if it was success, the reaction to AL's twist or both that made DPC like he is now.

Give a man a lot of money and you can discover his true nature. Humility and honesty are not words that exist in the DPC bubble.

 

[DirtyMario]

My only real suggestion for him would be to use interpolation in animations so that he can save some time in rendering. The results from that method are almost as good as rendering in native frame rate and that would allow him to either update faster or make bigger updates.

I would also ask what is his current hardware setup (number of PCs and GPUs) since I'm curious and would use this data to try to improve my predicitions about when the next update will release.

Lastly I would ask him, if copyright wasn't a issue, which songs would he like to add to the game. This one is mostly to get some songs recomendations from him since so far I really enjoyed over 80% of all the songs he added to the game.

Now you've done it. He's gonna render animations for the next episode in native 4K 240 fps and becomes a singer/songwriter on the side so he can use his own music.
Might bump up development time slightly to around 48 months but hey, all sacrifices for quality!

Last night I introduced my girlfriend to Being A DIK. She’s entirely new to AVNs, but she’s played text-based video games before, so it’s not a wholly new idea for her.

We played it together… well, by “playing it together” I mean I had the laptop on my lap and clicked all the stuff, and she made the choices. Since I’ve played it so many times I could show her where all the stuff was, and give her hints about consequences (but not too many; don’t wanna spoil too much). And make sure she didn’t turn on the goddamned mini-games.

Plus we read all the dialogue aloud. At first I was gonna read all of it, but after the way I read the Jill intro, she forbade me from voicing any more girls. She would do the girl voices; I would read the boy stuff. It was hot; this woman knows how to read naughty stuff. Those of you with girlfriends—you gotta try it sometime. It’ll turn your crank.

She knows I have a thing for gingers—hell, she’s a ginger—so the instant she saw Sage, she said, “Oh now I know which girl’s your favorite.” Perfect setup; I responded, “Of course—it’s you.” Yeah I’m smooth.

He already knows about it, he just doesn't want to use it because it won't benefit his profits in the long run. He gets more money by developing his game for a year.

I would also ask what is his current hardware setup (number of PCs and GPUs) since I'm curious and would use this data to try to improve my predicitions about when the next update will release.

He'll probably tell you a lie about what he has.

did you two also mimic the sex scenes while playing?

AL players after seeing the direction this game is taking

 

[PEscobar]

Find a game you like the look of and then look the dev up

You must be registered to see the links

It's only an estimator and Patreon numbers do fluctuate a lot (especially in months when a game update is released) but it will give you a good idea on how much they are making, and you can compare different devs to see what the average earnings are.

As others have said DPC is one of the biggest earners out there, a low to mid tier donation would make little to no difference to him.

Thank you for that, for making so much money DPC is DIK (pun intended) some Devs just get a big head and no longer care about the fan base that made them.

Just me or the players didn't like EP.10 very much? Has passed a month since the release of EP.10 and both F95Zone and Reddit are kind of quiet. I remember that after the release of EP.9 for at least 3 months players were all engaged creating crazy theories and discussing Ep.9.

Well there wasn't a lot going on story wise. No crazy revelations or anything except for the Beth thing and no one could really extrapolate anything from that anyway.
Doesn't help either that the widely known introduction of the "cheating variable" keeps people laser focused on their one and only LI. Wouldn't be surprised if the update has a runtime of sub 1 hour for some players and they're waiting a year for that.

 

[SirDawcio]

Don't waste your time, he is gonna cherry pick the questions to fit the answers he has already prepared.

His Q&A's are basically a yearly blog post about how "grateful" he is, and how "awesome" everything is going and how much of a "challenge" the road to making BaD is and of course how spreadsheeting years ahead is basically the new 42.

Y'all are some bitter people. Like, why do you care what the creator is like? Genuine question because I won't care as long as the product I get is satisfying. Like I'm a huge fan of the Witcher books, and the guy who wrote them is a total asshole. Still, I don't mind it because the quality is there.

And as much as it still can change, I feel like DPC will eventually finish BaDIK. And I don't know him personally, but I hope he's not that old, unlike George RR Fucking Martin, because you know we're never getting the Game of Thrones saga finished.

I like the idea, and we discussed it a bit… but not really. Not this time. We only read episode 1. There aren’t any proper sex scenes in it.

1. Quinn and Camila jerk the MC off.
2. Riona blows the MC through the glory hole.
3. Camila gives up the ass through the glory hole.
4. Maya grinds on the MC.
5. A wet dream with either Cathy or Jade.

The route we took through the game skipped the Restaurant. But even if we went that way, I’m not cutting any holes in my walls and sticking my cock through em.

As for the Maya grinding scene, duplicating that gets me tased at the end, so I don’t wanna.

Players for the most part like Ep10 a lot more then ep9. We got a lot of story this time the thing people down on are mini games. And really a lot of people that never played just came here to shit on it. Overall ep 10 is pretty great

take the M&J route and invite a second girl for a play date for the later episodes.
just kidding, thanks for being so open about it.

sounds like fun to me.

 

[ChipLecsap]

That's true about drunk people, maybe same for peopleon drugs. Well, you get it... about John Boy.

Well, J.B. is a cuck , even when he is not drunk or on drugs . and when he is drunk, or on drugs, it just give him the courage to Beg you to fuck his girlfriend in front of him.

ep 10, was not as good as people think it was. that is why. Every normal people know nothing will happen with Rio, and the Maya story won't be solved anyway, so in reality there is nothing realy to to talk about.

As much as I don't want to see it, he has to hurt Riona.

And Maya needs to feel free sting of either stealing from her dad or failing to steal from her dad.

If nothing happens, every other cliffhanger feels hollow, including that Bella one at Christmas.

He's been living off the reputation of burning Meghan, but let's be honest, everyone wanted to burn Meghan so that was good.

 

[James H Boner]

A theory for James Roberts (My Mortal Enemy) He had a one man expedition to either North or South Pole. Episode 10 shows my future wife Isabella hyperventilating about saying back then that she didn't want him to leave and whoever they is don't know where he is but say he still could be alive... I hope he is a frozen corpse for me and Bella's sake. However Episode 9 introduction shows a grizzly Christmas scenario which will probably happen in episode 11.... any thoughts?


Notice the article.

Badik is more mainstream then acting lesson ever was, he not gonna make the same game and things again. And We all knew James gonna come back, at one point, so that is not even worth to mention.

I definitely not on the edge of my seat because of these " cliffhangers". My reaction is more of a Meh, than anything
