You LIKED it? Some of those "breakup" scenes were so heartbreaking... Jill saying "i wanted to be with you"

Have you no heart my friend?


You know what i think it is? maybe there was a heavier focus on them in the earlier episodes.

Anyways, I'll give them my undivided attention for a PT and that will allow me to enjoy it more
I didn't break up with anyone on my choices, but there's a moment when Josy confronts MC on her own, and waxes philosophical about if the two of you actually turned into a couple back when you both worked at the store. No Maya, no "you lied" drama, just the idea that maybe you two could have worked. MC can agree or disagree, but I thought it was an interesting moment.

It probably only happens if you're on a DIK run, because a CHICK run probably means throuple (or Jill) so there's no point because you're already dating.

It's on any run. If you're in a relationship with another girl, that choice is tc+2.

Whatever you want to say about Dr Pinkcake himself, what he did in thos episode is a masterpiece. The longest freeroam, the best (absolutely best!) animations, the story, every smallest detail on the highest level. It was worth to wait so long.
While i agree DPC is a genius, i felt like some of the animations were low quality and janky, and while i liked the free roam i wouldn't mind not balance.

The rest of it i 100% the attention to details is awe inspiring and i would pay to watch the man work.

Missed hanging out with Derek. He's my best friend in the whole wide world!
If you haven't played DPC's previous game, do that once you're done with this update.

I still think that she should have suprised the MC and the other cast by appering out of nowhere in the party.
I don't think many people at all would have liked that, least of all the MC. After basically ghosting him for several months and then just show up at the party uninvited would not have gone over well with MC, who was already stressed with all the party planning and putting out all the fires.

The way she was introduced after the having a LI choice forced upon you, it's pretty clear Zoey is intended to cause some deep thoughts within the MC, thus far it seems to be working well.

Quinn keeps getting included in these types of posts. I think it’s fairly safe to assume that she’s definitely a path, not just in an unofficial way. Munch on that broccoli.
She was always a path, that's why it's called Others/DIK/Quinn path.

She is one of LI.

When the game dropped, I was in a fresh relationship.
For Episode 9, I have a kid that's walking and running around.
By Episode 10 she will most likely talk(with sense, and not random words she learned xD).
By Season 3's ending, I'll probably have mini conversations with her.

It's kind of hilarious if I look at the game's development time in parallel to developments in my own life xD

Yea we probably could have had Ep9 before Halloween if this and a few other useless animations were not done! I am getting more and more frustrated with how long it took to get from Ep8 to Ep9. BaDIK has become my 2nd or 3rd AVN. How to ruin a franchise.

She is, if you are going after her, she appears among the chicks you are gunning for in EP8 end.
It's just that her path is not as direct as the others. But she'll turn around.

Even tho BaDIK is not my favorite(Summer's Gone is), I don't mind it. I enjoyed ep9, and it being the actual first episode of season 3(Interlude is an in between) I expected it to be slow and setup heavy. At the end of the day, I don't care if the game finishes in 2025. It's a fun distraction at the end of the day, nothing more. I'll continue to support since it costs me nothing and gives me back decent laughs in return. Plus, part of the game is the community here(not the echo chamber on Discord). The chats for this game here are more fun then 90% of the games on this site, lol.

Hey everybody does "Broccoli" mean a Hairy Muff?
What?

No, it's a metaphor that Quinn and MC have, it's like trying to eat broccoli and you dislike the taste of it, but you have to do it because it's healthy for you and you know that.

In Quinn's case, broccoli means doing romantic stuff, like kissing, holding hands and doing whatever couples do, Quinn doesn't like to do this things since she isn't used to it and makes her feel awkward, but at the same time she must do it because she likes it (but doesn't want to admit) and must get used to it all for her dear love Tremolo.

I was just joking. It's funny to see all of the reactions.

Well, BaDIK at all is one of the best AVN, that's for sure. But this episode should be a masterpiece? Nah, I can't agree with that. You suggest "the longest freeroam" is a good thing. No, it's not. I understand why DPC have done this, because it's the easiest way to drench all branches together in one point and it's much easier now to go on with the story. But as a player it's annoying because you have to waste a lot of time with clicking around to get the next little piece of the story. I like freeroams. I do. But only if they're well dosed. In Ep9 it's way too much. For me Ep8 was hardly the boundary and now he breaks it.

The best animations might be. I know other AVN's with animations as good as these. But all those devs haven't the time and the financial background like DPC does. So that's something I expect from DPC. He has the time and the money to do so. Besides that it's not all that good. Many animations are too long or wasn't necissary. This genre is called Visual NOVEL. A novel is all about the story. My favourite VN is "One Day at a Time". The graphics aren't as good as in VN's like BaDIK, Summer's Gone or Chasing Sunsets. But the story is really good. So yes, we need good graphics in VN's but it's by far not the main point to rate a VN.

You mentioned the story. Well, which story? In Ep9 the story haven't really continued. We had the meeting with the Burke's, there was the thing with Zoey and a little bit Quinn/Tommy/Vinnie drama. The rest is only the drench of the branches and a little bit bonding in all relationships. Every episode before had a way more story content.

Was it worth to wait so long? This depends on how you define "worth". If I had paid 25 bucks eight months to get this I would be really pissed. 200 Bucks for this small content? Oh hell... Again: it's a visual novel not a porno movie. The content has to be the story presented with nice graphics and not some animations interrupted from some free roams and little dialogue parts.

Yes, BaDIK is a good VN to me. That's why I'm here and that's why I'm writing as much as I do the last days. But this episode is by far NOT the best episode of BaDIK. At the moment I'm unsure if it's the worst of all or the second worst. However, I don't think my opinion will interest DPC. Especially since it can't even reach him in the first place. He only goes where you lick his saliva. Criticism, no matter how fair and objective it may be, he cannot bear. He doesn't even take that criticism. Everything was different with him, but unfortunately DPC has changed a lot. His success hasn't done him any good as a person.
