Dr PinkCake is one of the few developers that are actually worth subscribing too, with consistent updates and good content, but come on, thats just sad...

I'm not here to badmouth anyone, so I'll just say I'm not surprised and leave it at that.

P.S. It's funny how people are all shocked and surprised DPC is so against mods and stuff. Have you talked to the fella? His ego dwarfs empire state building. Heaven forbid someone changes something in his perfect creation.

I mean there were the people who kept bugging him about bugs when using modded game files which were causing the bugs but aside from that, yeah the guy's ego is pretty up there. I do give him props for being consistent on his updates and actually finishing his projects though, unlike someone like "cough Icstor cough"...

So after finishing the update, I’m wondering what’s going to be done about certain branching paths and the like. At the moment it seems like scrappy will be able to do what he usually does and give the ability to just take all of them. However, now it’s a bit hazy if these paths are going to be like earlier choices where it only has some minor callbacks from time to time that really just add different flavors; or will it be full on dedicated stories that don’t connect the way earlier choices did. Personally I’m a bit spoiled and prefer to be on all branches and scenes if it doesn’t break the game. But whatever happens, I’m sure the mod will continue to be great.

It is remarkable that scrappy is able to do mods in such a hostile environment. DPC is being a real dick yet he makes the best games - his ego is backed by his products.

Jade scene on episode 4 seems to be really meaningful for the story, in an extent that it was impossible for being coded without one path conflicting the other. There's a solution for that, which is using the variables label on the cheat menu and activating both paths.

Eh some might disagree about "best games". Acting Lessons was a pretty good mostly kinetic novel thatt had beautiful renders and a great supporting bro character but the story railroaded you into having an MC that had to care about both Missy and NotMissy and if it wasn't for the one infamous scene would be considered a pretty standard generic story all told. It did some things very right but still had a lot of room for improvement.

BaDIK is similar in the "doing things right but having a lot of room for improvement" sense, only even more so. What it does right, such as the characters and the artwork, it does VERY right. But it's also got a story that's so far an extremely generic, almost paint by numbers college coming of age story, and it's got an enormous amount of bloat. If DPC didn't bother with all these minigames and uninteresting but very VERY long DnG sessions with the nerds and things like that he'd be probably be releasing episode 10 this week instead of episode 8 and the game would probably be a lot smaller than 20 GB at this point. There's a LOT of filler here. It was always going to be a much bigger game than AL since it has actually different routes instead of railroading you into the MC having to like certain characters, and that's fine, as long as you keep the narrative focused on those routes, but there's a lot of other stuff here not related to that that doesn't need to be here. A good editor could probably chop 40% of this game out without messing with the main narratives at all.

Filler for the sake of padding out the game length may work for triple A game studios with hundreds of people working on a title but it just bogs down development when you're one dude who absolutely refuses to hire anyone to do ANY of the workload for you.

Not to say that I don't enjoy BaDIK, because I do, but I don't think it's the best. I've got probably half a dozen VNs on my hard drive right now that I like more and several others that I just haven't gotten around to redownloading since my last hard drive took a shit.

Is the DPC really aganist this mod? Why is he added this mod to the "Extras" section on his game's page then? If the DPC is really aganist this mod, I don't know what to say really. This mod is a gem. Without this mod, I wouldn't have enjoyed the game this much.

Because DPC isn't the one who added his game here on this site in the first place. Considering I got dropped as a patron of his for downloading the game from here a few days before my tier should have had it I'm pretty sure he'd much rather his game not be on this site at all if there was any realistic thing he could do about it.

Hey guys, i got a question here. If i want to start over (like i always do) on version 0.8.0 with no mod, after the mod gets updated to 0.8.0 will my save be compatible?
Should i start over from 0.7.2 with the mod and then wait for the 0.8.0 mod to transfer my save or that wouldn't work? I'm asking cause i have zero knowledge about coding so i have no idea if in this update (having something updated on renpy) may break or just straight up make it incompatible with the modded version once it gets finished.

If the save is clean, I don't see why you couldn't add the updated mod whenever you want.

If you have the old version of the game, you can start a save for it to play with the old mod, no problem. When you get to the part of this last EP, go to the updated version of the game and put the mod updated to 0.8, normally.

No game pages on this site are controlled by the creators of the respective games. Even when the first post is from one of them, sometimes they are not allowed to modify the OP. And when they are, they are never 100% in control.

Seems to me like all that's necessary to fix the problem is to comment out those 4 lines of code.
