I don't know why, but I have the feeling that this game will never cross the finish line. Normally, the development is still relatively relaxed at the start and the further the plot progresses, the more complex the development becomes. If this really is a one-man show ... then it could take another 10 years until the finale ... then the beginning will be 15 years old ... which again calls for a rework somewhere ... so I hope I'm not right but oh well

While he has shown interest of remastering it, he has said that he won't do that until after he's finished since he would also change some stuff so he would need to rework stuff in the whole game.
I really doubt he won't finish it. I can't see any reason for him not to finish the game, unless he gets seriously sick, and even then he would only take a longer break. This is literally his dream game.

Yes, I know that from myself. Perfectionism or loving your work can sometimes be really bad. It can happen that you just don't finish. When there are 200,000 people waiting for it ... I don't know ... not really funny ;-) but I'll leave you alone and come back in 2026 or 27 or something like that ... i suppose some people also wish that the game would never be finished ... because then the thread here would also have reached its end ... what do you do all day then

What I didn't consider was that when you hit reply, it pops the spoiler open for you anyway. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Yes? No? I really don't know the answer. It depends on you. You need to be an amazing story-teller, and have a very dirty mind to create a game like BaDIK if you know what I mean. :WeSmart:

It's really not. You don't even need to be a good storyteller as some of the most beloved VN's have absolutely fucking shit stories. Now... doing something like BAD is significantly more complex than the average VN. Though it would also be fair to argue it's become unnecessarily difficult for DPC due to his own personal failings. Back to the traditional VN, you can actually find tutorials of how to do all of it on Youtube. It is a time-sink, but if anything the bar for entry is too low.

Now, I'm not going to call BAD vanilla, but it's REALLY not that out there let alone dirty. It's not that dissimilar to something like GREEK, it just shows the explicit content that wouldn't have cut it on a Disney owned ABC Family at the time. My own life at that age was both significantly more mundane while being significantly more over the top. I went to HS in NV, half the chicks in my class ended up working at the houses. A kid a grade ahead of me drove to school every day in a company vehicle with his parents whore houses branding plastered all over it.

Oh man, that scene REALLY tore me up emotionally. As a widower, I know how difficult it can be to let go and after many conversations with fellow widowers, it is VERY difficult to remove your rings. My late wife wore rings EXACTLY like this! A diamond, her wedding band and a 10 diamond, tenth anniversary ring I bought her.

I really had a sense that her husband had died and she had a hard time letting go, and how she felt guilty to have desires for anyone else (as many widows/widowers do). This was one of those scenes that I felt was REALLY well done and made me think the dev had personal knowledge of this sort of thing, who knows.

Been just over three years since my wife died. This is also part of why I really like her character and feel that perhaps she lost her husband and is just having a difficult time letting go. Who knows... well written character anyhow.

This post really caught me off guard. I've found that as I've gotten older my empathy has also grown. Maybe it's because I've been through more at this age, maybe it's because I've seen more and more people I care about endure tragedy and heartbreak, maybe it's because I work in medicine and as much as I'd like everyone to happily ride off into the sunset...that isn't always possible. In any case, I don't know you or anything about you, but I'm sorry you lost her. She must have been an amazing person for you to remember her so emotionally years later. All the best to you
