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:
Well there isn't much to "see" so i think DPC didn't see it as a scene people would replay

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

Because in this image where we see a more current image of her when she has tattoos

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

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

Yes, I had to open the game folder with the 7.4.6 Ren'Py SDK and Force Recompile before loading it from the SDK. That's the only way I've been able to get BaDIK 8.x to work. There's something seriously wrong with the Ren'Py SDK 7.4.10 and I haven't been able to find anyone besides you having identical issues. A quick review of the commit history in the GitHub repo didn't show much, but it is also hard to follow without any release tagging.
Thanks for your answer. I tried to use both the RenPy SDK 7.4.11 and the 7.4.6 but I have the same issue that I have when trying to run BAD. The icon would bounce two times before shutting down. As I said before, a couple of months ago I could play the previous BAD version without any problem but now it seems that running Ren'Py programs it's impossible in macOS Monterey, at least with my little coding knowledge lol

Zoey's heart is ready for the MC after a year apart.

Did he stop doing weekly status updates?
Yes. He'll do them whenever he's in the mood now, or as news arises.
Well, I gonna reply like this; who are you going to choose if your only choices are Lily and Zoey? The person who chooses Zoey is clearly a retardinho. So that puts Zoey all the way to the bottom.
An "age appropriate" (somebody else's issue, not mine) Jade variant with colorful hair, and in-world backstory and significant history with the MC both as friend and girlfriend vs.. stripperwhore classmate who is only concerned with popularity status and being stoned out of her gourd?

Yeah, i'll take the smurf, thanks. I'm not hating on Lily, in general she's fun, but I'd take somebody who could be just as fun and has an actual emotional connection to the MC instead. She ran off to San Diego to have a good time and learn to surf. Clearly she's perfectly down for impulsive behavior. What's she got that Lily doesn't, aside from natural tits?

Yes, I had already noticed
She only appeared for 5 seconds and already has this thread on fire my Chloe Price :love:

Some incels are not ready for her
It's the reason why I like Zoey since Chloe is my favorite character :ROFLMAO:
I'm not good with faces so I didn't notice it at first :HideThePain: I suppose that posts about Zoey is Jade's daughter will come along with her :unsure:
It's just DPC being DPC reusing the models on other characters :ROFLMAO:

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

That error means the application can't find the Python libraries. This is strange, as the game has Python build in and does not rely on Python being installed on the system. Check /Contents/lib/python2.7.
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

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.

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.
