I know you don't like the mini-games and side-plots but they are still content. They aren't always winners (I was unhappy with the D&G animations in Episode 6, for example), but I don't think we can expect any game to perfectly cater our tastes every single time. BaDIK has a high enough hit rate to justify the time spent on them (IMHO, of course), so I think it's less an inherent flaw in DPC's storytelling and more a stylistic choice that any given player may or may not like.
As for the total volume, I hardly follow every game on the site. But of the games I follow in my signature, BaDIK delivers content/day at least equal to any of them and superior to most. The branches don't affect the main story very much, but they do affect scenes in a myriad of small ways and I really enjoy exploring those branches. Frankly, I've found that a much more successful model than games that try to allow "major" branching decisions (prior to the finale any way), because those games always struggle to connect the disparate events into a coherent narrative.
On the Sage guitar scene in particular, I don't think it would have required anywhere near a full rewrite to handle the non-FB route. After all, events between Sage and Chad will play out the same way whether or not Mel and Sarah see the MC kiss Sage. The exact content of the scene is not plot crucial, it's just a chance to advance the MC/Sage relationship - which doesn't have to be purely sexual. A lot of the scene could have been left as is, just tweak the line about the MC and Sage pulling the DIKs and HOTs together, and end with something other than the kiss.
As an added bonus, you could also have a modified version of the Sarah/Mel scene where they admit they're not sure what the MC is to Sage, but they're still going to call Chad for [reasons]. This would not only help clarify why Chad will break up with Sage in Episode 6 regardless of our actions, it could also lay better ground work for the non-FB Sage path in Episode 7.
Sadly, DPC either didn't think the scene needed these tweaks or felt it wasn't worth the time to add them. So I do agree that this is definitely a flaw in the game and in DPC's writing style. I just don't think it's quite as large and omnipresent a flaw as you do.

" I just don't think it's quite as large and omnipresent a flaw as you do."
No you wouldn't, you guys have bought this game hook, line, and sinker. And if that's what you like, more power to you.
The whole point of my criticism of this game, and it's creator, is that it's not a good game, it's just a really well marketed one. That makes BaDIK the AVN equivalent of the worst kind of mainstream drivel, no creativity, no depth, no soul.

Yes Sage is an issue in itself. I think if the MC leaves it at a pure friendship and is not a Fuck Buddy, the relationship between Sage and Maya will become the same. The MC will impress Sage so deeply on friendship level with his honesty that Sage will help Maya even without reciprocation. It doesn't always have to be you scratch my back and I scratch yours.As others have said, I think there are clear reasons why Sage didn't have a guitar lesson in Episodes 6&7. To me, the real question is why the MC will only give her a guitar lesson in Episode 5 if he's her fuck buddy.
My first playthrough of Episode 5 was happened to be on the Sage path, so I was really looking forward to seeing how that scene would play out without the kiss. It turns out it was just omitted completely.
Sadly, I fear this is the real reason we haven't seen any more lessons since: they were just a means of getting Sage and the MC together, and are no longer needed now that they are. We'll probably see another one someday as mixture of nostalgia and a way to iron out some future threat to their relationship, but I doubt they will be a regular feature. Which would be a shame, so hopefully DPC will prove me completely wrong.
But if he is Fuck Buddy, Maya will find that out in EP5 at the latest. Then the train is heading towards Sage and Maya.
But the whole thing gets complicated when Josy/Maya/MC are in the throuple. Then we have again what the MC said to Josy in EP4. We are all just cheaters.

Right, and my point is BaDIK *is* a good game, with strengths that more than compensate for the very real flaws it does have.
The game's never going to be for everyone and I have no problem with people who don't like it. But frankly I see no indication that it's soulless or devoid of creativity. Whatever DPC is, he isn't the AVN equivalent of Michael Bay cranking out Transformers sequels.

It is a Good game, enough of the baiting bullshit.
. If your product Suck it won't matter how much you marketed. and in fact he doesn't really do much marketing nowadays, the actual product talk for itself.I only speak for myself, but I yet to find any game in this "porn genre", that can makes me remotely as entertained as DPC 's Badik does. and I'm on the search constantly. but really is 90% of them, is Inces Incest, incest, ugly render, 3 sec loop animation, Wall of text reading in front of a drawing and etc etc.
in this site, you go to search and choose the top rated games, and that 10 games is about it, that can be called quality, and even those, most of them is nowhere near close to the content and the quality of BADIK.
There is no perfect game, despite you think we all saying badik is perfect. It's not perfect, but simply the overall Enjoyment is so good that it's overwhelming the Negative aspects of the game.
if this does not give you the same feeling , I can respect that, but frankly I don't Envy you for this.
.We should really move on from this subject, its should be obvious for you now after all this time, that you never gonna convince us that This game is Shit, because it's not. It is that Fucking simple.
.Peace and Love

We just don't have enough information to accurately say at this point, but I would plan on 5 to 6 months between episodes.
I think it's an excellent game, but there are some things that frustrate me to no end. D&G is a prime example. Don't get me wrong, I'd love a D&G side project from DPC, but its implementation in BaDIK makes it feel like a drawn out distraction from the main narrative. It's like doing a 3-year stint in prison for drug distribution (that was really your dumb uncle's fault). You've had to get by with silent, midnight jerk sessions with some butter packets you nicked from the chow hall. The occasional tossed salad doesn't do much either besides make you question yourself a little more each day. But finally you get out and hunt down the first prostitute you can find. She agrees to slob your knob behind a dumpster. You've been waiting for this for 3 long years. You unleash the kraken and prepare for bliss, but instead this dirty ho gets a 20-minute call from her pimp. You're left hanging, literally. That's what sitting through a goddamn pointless D&G session is like when all you want is to get on with the main storyline. And the two second long filler lewd scenes in D&G don't make up for it. Fingers crossed we've seen the last of it.

Yeah that's the whole point, no one WILL ever convince you. If you had a more introspective outlook that might bother you.It is a Good game, enough of the baiting bullshit.

Imagine the next DPC game is a D&G and he turns it into a GoT, there will be no characters saving their lives.

Someone was complaining about the worst kind of mainstream soulless drivel? If someone had a more introspective perspective they might...
Oh fuck it, what's the point. More anal with Quinn, please!

OMG, I never knew that we could help Bella with painting the fence in EP5... Why are those bloody cans so far? The Help option on the top-right really helps...Still man, I am such an ass-man

You say it like it's a fact that everyone else is just too oblivious to understand, when really it's just your opinion. I's just a simple case that this game doesn't appeal to you as much as other games you prefer.
Everyone has different tastes, but this game has struck such a chord with so many people, it's just sheer arrogance to sit there and say, "it's not a good game" and "BaDIK the AVN equivalent of the worst kind of mainstream drivel".
In my opinion, I haven't played a game here that's better:
- I started my AVN exposure with Summertime Sage and I loved it,
- Then I discovered A Town Uncovered when looking for similar games and, although the game's art is sub standard and the game is far from complete, I loved the characterisations (the relationship with the teacher was written so genuinely),
- Then I found "The Headmaster", a completely different game, but a must for anyone with a spanking fetish (a total fucking must),
- Then there was Taffy Tales, which I enjoyed (quite a unique one with the mc's alter ego),
- I also gave Milfy City a go (before I found out the dude had "abandoned" it long ago). I liked the relationship development (except for the whole rape-your-family-in-their-sleep thing, but I could never go back and play it again, it's boring now.
Then I stumbled on to Being a DIK. This game destroyed all other games for me. The character renders are very good, but more importantly for me, they come off the page, their personas are so present, so likeable, that I actually give a shit about some pixels on my screen.
The story is very compelling. I'm not saying it's a masterful story, it's really quite a simple tale, but enough is happening (and the way it's being delivered) that it keeps us here, musing over the game, for months between the updates.
Unlike any other game, the minute I finished playing it, I started playing it again. I couldn't get enough. I even started reading this thread and began posting (initially to try to convince some dumbasses that Jill wasn't the mc's aunt...
).I've tried other similar games since this one:
- Acting Lessons - For all the hype, it did nothing for me and ended up losing interest eventually (completed it but didn't care),
- A.O.A - Got bored of that eventually,
- Frosh Life - got put on hold too soon, quite enjoyed that one,
- Melody - Had to fast forward in the end, found the game slowly evolved into boring waffle,
- University of Problems - Enjoyed it for a while but can't be bothered with the latest update,
- WVM - Lost interest very quickly.
- City of Broken Dreamers - It's a good game but I wouldn't care if I never played the next episode or not,
- Depraved Awakening - Played it through to the end but didn't care about any of the characters,
- Heavy Five - Became boring after a while, basically I don't care about any of the characters,
- Leap of Faith - Makes we want to puke how the women's entire existence seems just to be to love the mc, can't even be bothered with the latest update,
- Once in a Lifetime - Was fun, good intriguing story, but I'm not likely to play it again,
- Pale Carnations - Not sure why I like this game, it's too unpleasant for my tastes, maybe I don't know myself as well as I thought ,
- Rebirth - Started off ok, but it's just dragging on and the characters are mostly 2-dimentional and the music is horrendous!
- What a Legend - Really cliched humour, minuscule updates and the mc is mostly pathetic. I can't understand why this is such a favourite.
The fact that BaDIK has so many likeable (or "hateable") characters just goes to show how well it's been created:
- Anthony: The likeable douche who's an "enemy" but even he doesn't see the point in that.
- Arieth: The crazy nympho; she hardly says anything in the game, but when she does, it's always gold. She's a legend for just how stupid she is.
- Ashley: The shy girl you want for your friend but also want for yourself.
- Burke: We all hate him and yet he's done nothing bad to the mc (except b a lousy husband to Jade), how many conspiracy theories is he wrapped up in?
- Caleb: The mountain we want to conquer (ok, hope that didn't come out wrong)
- Camila: Super sexy girl who is there to remind us this is a porno, and we love her for it!
- Cathy: The shy, late bloomer teacher, she may not look hot but we care about her future at B&R
- Chad: A complicated character. Not because he's gay, but because he was pitted as the enemy, the mc even stole his girlfriend, but he could become an ally in future.
- Dawe: Total moronic asshole that we love to hate (and beat up).
- Derek: What's there to say about this guy, almost everyone loves him and his antics
- Elena: She's not just the nympho girlfriend of John Boy (with their kinky underwear attitude), she could also be starting to become a significant character in the HOTs hierarchy.
- Envy/Nicole: the ultimate MILF. The few scenes with her in this game have been more satisfying than all the MILF characters I've come across in other games.
- Heather: Total bitch, everyone wants to fuck her though, just to fuck with Tommy.
- Isabella: What on earth can I say to sum up this bombshell!?
- Jacob: The other bro, to offset Derek's insanity.
- Jade: Every schoolteacher fetish rolled up into the perfect specimen.
- Jill: The ultimate virgin. A total fan favourite.
- Josy: The perfect girl next door, sadly probably the most underdeveloped LI, but lets hope she gets more character development soon. In spite of that she still draws a lot of attention from fans.
- Karen: How did such a marginal character make such an impression?
- Lily: What started off as a blatant Harley Quinn has turned into a very interesting character.
- Magnar: He's a cliché for sure, but who else are we gonna have to host the DnG games?
- Maya: The damsel in distress. You either love her or hate her. She's probably more polarising than Quinn!
- Melanie: She hardly has much to do with the story (other than her involvement in the Chad arc) but she stands out in every scene she's in.
- Nick: Just a quiet background character who could be harbouring a game changing secret.
- Neil: A wholesome parental figure in a genre filled with incestuous mothers and dead fathers. Neil is a great guy.
- Patrick: Either you hate him or you hate him. For a character that's had no chance to defend himself, the hatred is already entrenched!
- Quinn: We know she's bad for us, but we want her anyway.
- Riona: What is it about her that endears her to so many. She's a tragedy waiting to happen!
- Rusty: The friendly president of the DIKs. We don't even have all that much to do with him, but he's likeable all the same (hell people have been paring him up with Jill for ages).
- Sage: Total sexbomb. Of course there's more to her than just sex, but the sex is so much fun!
- Sally: Maybe because she seems untouchable, but this feisty character sure has her share of fans.
- Sandy: OK, maybe I'm on my own with this one...
- Sarah: She's not even pretty, but there's definitely something about her.
- Steve: Another asshole character that's memorable even though he's long gone.
- Tommy: An angry fucker that is slowly becoming the mc's friend (don't trust him though)
- Tybalt: This guy we love to loathe. Sure we can't take him seriously, but we can still hate his guts!
- Vinny: His presence is there even though we've never met him. Big things are instore for this dude I'm sure.
The effort, the humour, the nuance, the drama, the characters, the personalities, the sex scenes, the music, the pace. It all rolls together to make an extremely enjoyable game. It's common to see a first time poster to post on this thread, "Best game ever", because they fucking loved it.
But you don't like it. That's ok. Just letting you know, your opinion is wrong. But, in your own words, "no one WILL ever convince you. If you had a more introspective outlook that might bother you."
