The app might be quarantined. To check, open Terminal and type "xattr " without the quotes and then drag the app into the window, so you get xattr /path to your app. Mind there's a space between the command and the path.
Hit enter and check the results. If com.apple.quarantine is listed amongst them, the app is quarantined.
If so, remove the quarantine wite xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path to your app


You were right, BAD was indeed quarantined, thanks for solving that issue! However... I still have the problem with the python path that I was telling you a couple of weeks ago. I've just replied to you minutes ago.




All the python executables files seems to be ok. So I'm pretty lost. As I said, a couple of months ago I was able to play previous BAD version without any issue. I can now run Ren'Py 7.4.11 without problem either so I'm guessing that the problem doesn't have to do with macOS. My guess is that something hapened concerning python paths when I downloaded and tried (unsuccesfully) to install BAD 8.0 several times while I still had BAD 7.X.X installed. But with my little coding knowledge I can't figure out what actually happened, much less how to fix it lol

Looking at the images that DPC has given us, it could be said that we will see different stages of the life of Zoey and the MC probably
View attachment 1550168 View attachment 1550171
Because in this image where we see a more current image of her when she has tattoos
View attachment 1550175

So I have a feeling that DPC will give us the days when the MC and her become friends, then they become boyfriends later when she goes to California, and her life in California then there will be several jumps in time to cover all that

Until we get to the point where she appears on EP 8
View attachment 1550181

It seemed weird to me when DPC made a wallpaper of her when it didn't make sense at the time

So he had already planned her return for a long time
I understand why a lot of players aren’t looking forward to Zoey’s return.

The mc’s made all these new friends, found new love and suddenly someone from his past, who we as readers don’t know very well, is gate crashing.

When the ex showed up in “Three Rules of Life” (I think that was the game), I just bailed. Same as College Kings or one of those games.

But fuck me if I’m not hyped for Zoey. I liked her sass in the flashback story, and she looks like she’s only gotten finer since.

If DPC does this right, by the end of the interlude a heap of readers are gonna change their tune about her and they will be all aboard on the blue train.

Done properly this interlude could bring her up to speed but that's easier said than done.

I hope DPC doesn't go full tragic backstory. If this interlude is 40-60 mins of BaDIK at it's best and by proxy is light on the contrived drama I can see her slotting in nicely. If she comes in as this fun, easy going character free from drama I can see her drawing a fanbase.

If she comes in as Maya 2.0 full of tragedy and angst I think I'll just hard pass on her route. This game needs more carefree relationships that aren't bogged down by outside forces. I am tolerating what we have, overall enjoying it, but we don't need more.

Do you think that if we remove the ex title from Zoey and just put her on as a new character there would be so much controversy with her? Since Zoey is the mirror for several users who project a failed relationship they had in the past on her

DPC never gave us a bad image of her that at least she and the MC had a serious problem that ruined their relationship, it only gave us a feeling that their relationship ended the moment she wanted to go to another city and the MC just wanted continue studying and thus be able to help his father in the future

Neil was the reason why the MC didn't go with her?

I really doubt that Zoey will become another LI. We just spent 8 episodes bonding with the cast and only now she comes into the picture.

What I predict is that she is a vehicle for DPC to develop MC characterwise. He had a sad backstory but the one of the few bright people in it was Zoey.

She is there to give contrast to what MC was before and who he is as a person today. Why is that important at this moment?

I honestly don't know, but I don't think she will turn down some casual sex either for the brief time she's there ;)

So, according to you, Maya feels physically menaced by Quinn, and instead of running away at the first opportunity screaming to call campus security to help her and her friend Tremolo, she grabs one of Tremolo´s legs to help Quinn, Sarah and Melanie to carry naked knocked out Tremolo through the campus to the DIK´s house... And then, she continues trying to be accepted into a fraternity in which she feels physically menaced... Is she stupid, coward, a submissive masochist... or all the previous...? :unsure:
She's felt menaced by her father for so long it feels normal. That's what happens with victims of abuse. Try having some empathy.

We are half-way through the story. She's a Complication. Writing 101.

I'm sort of ambivalent but if she's a cool girl then I have no problems.
I just hope she won't be a flashback generator to talk about MC's past too much. If she's as fierce as she looks then sign me up. We really need another "dik" type girl to balance the cast out.

guys, Does this game have pregnant sex? thanks
This game is intended to reach a very broad audience. The sex in it will never delve far into any kink or fetish. This just isn't that game. The most you are ever going to see is a little bit of very light bondage.

Maya is so fixated on the idea of being with Josie that she doesn't pay attention to the fact that her actions can cause pain others. She literally lives for the sake of dating her. But let's assume that Josie went to California and broke up with Maya. Then everything Maya did doesn't make any sense. She doesn't need to go in Hots. It's enough for her to tell her father that she started dating a guy and the problem is solved. It is very strange that our triangle has not yet decided to play like this. Play a fake and fictitious couple. This is the easiest way.
It's like you've never even heard of the concept of an abusive parent. Even without Josy, getting out from under her father's control makes Maya's life better.

okay i know im late to the party but i finished episode 8. i might play through all the episodes again because i think i messed up Jill's path haha. I stuck with her but then also with Isabella and Jill saw what the MC and Isabella did in her house and walked away. I had 2 saves, one which had ALL the main girls like the MC (from the mod) and the other was mainly Jill's path with some of Isabella. so my question is and i probably know the answer to but i want to clarify, what do i gotta do to make sure the MC and Jill are a thing? I know Maya and Josy are close to MC from the start as well.

You need to kiss her on the night MC become a dik (you can kiss her before on teh first date but this one lock you in Jill path), then you need to go on birthday date with her (don't call sage when she's sick), then fight for her after the double tennis, (after that she should invite you to a dinner with her friends) help her when she go on stage. All of that while you are in neutral or chick affinity (if you are in dick affinity she will reject you in the end)

First of all, that solution requires that the MC commit to the throuple, which only just happened. The ruse wouldn't work if the MC is still dating others, or if he might not stick around for the long haul.

But second and more important, it's not going to solve much of anything. Patrick isn't just against Maya being a lesbian, he's trying to control all aspects of Maya's life. Remember, he started to insist Maya get a solo room the instant she had a roommate, even if he liked the MC. The idea that the MC could get Patrick to back off just by publicly posing as Maya's boyfriend is ignoring the full scale of the problem.


Several candidates? Who do you think could it be?
I'm just wondering :)
J.A.L. already mentioned Quinn and Riona. I'd add Neil to that list; the death of a mentor is about as classic a trope as there is in coming of age stories. (Obviously I'm *hoping* all of them will survive.)

Errr, yes, nice picture and all. But we already know Zoey will play a big role in the Interlude, DPC. Do you have anything new to add?


Daaamn, look at all those new Zoey simps on the thread :LOL:
We need to scroll back to like 2-3 weeks ago when mostly everyone was complaining about her, now look at this new positive sentiment around her :p
She looks great, cannot wait for when the Interlude is released (y)
Please don't make me regret promising to lay off my concerns about Zoey. :cautious:


I have to check with you guys, if you played through the Josy/Maya path and Josy sex cleanly after the HOT party in EP7, do you have an entry in the Scene Gallery. Maybe it's a bug. :unsure:

For me it is only see when I play with mod.:whistle:
If you are asking whether the quick sex scene with Josy (if she goes home with you after the HOT party) shows up in the unmodded gallery, the answer is no.


Oh F you Shazba, I had to turn off my Spotify right in the middle of a Tom Petty song to respond to this crap.

Anyway, I refuse to compromise with anyone defending Maya in this scene. This scene is the absolute focal point of my dislike for that character, and all characters like her. There is no defense of her selfishness and manipulation here. Dear God, she's so self centered it's a wonder that other characters aren't ripped apart by her gravitational field.
This is probably a hopeless endeavor, but you'd need to be able to see the scene from Maya's point of view. At that time she'd only known the MC for a few days, and she considers the free tuition vital to her future. So even if she *hates* what happened, the fact of the matter is she still needs to make out with someone and that's just more important to Maya than patching things up with the MC. But since asking to make out with the MC is the least unpalatable option for her, she does so. It's possible she also intended to apologize to him afterwards, or thought that ignoring him to make out with someone else might make things even worse, but that's just speculation.

I think it's fair to say she should have led with an apology before asking (to put it mildly). And I definitely think she should have apologized immediately if the MC refused to make out with her (rather than claiming it wasn't her fault). But I'm not contending that Maya isn't selfish at times. I'm just saying that it's possible for characters to be selfish without being completely narcistic megalomaniacs who see people purely as toys for their own aggrandizement.

Interestingly, I felt the opposite about "3RoL" because in that game it's clear that the MC's own behavior in the breakup with his ex-gf left massive scars on the his psyche. There was a huge amount of baggage that needed to be dealt with, regardless of whether the MC ever encountered the ex again or not.

But that's not the case here in BaDIK. Zoey and the MC split up amicably. In retrospect the MC realized she meant more to him than he'd thought, but even that is more of an intellectual observation than a real regret. She's just like the other LIs in the wake of the crossroad, a path not traveled.

Naomi in 3RoL filled a role no one else could. Zoey in BaDIK is stuck in a role anyone else could fill (and in some playthroughs, already have). At best, Zoey simplifies the game by serving the same role in all the branches, but even that has to be balanced against the time spent bringing her up to speed (and adding yet another path to an already crowded game going forward).
