The writing is good, but I am so impatient with such slow pace.
Hä, slow pace? I am not sure what you mean, TD and Gil are quite quick with their updates, considering the usual size of one update. Unlike some other developers, each update has substantial playing time on all possible paths. If you want to see slow pace of updates, I graciously mention to you the developers crushstation, L&P and Gumdrop.
Big on verbose, but hardly believable excuses and very light on content per update. Slight exception L&P, whose updates have some playing time, but he is extremly slow. You can recognize L&P´s car by the flies smashed on the back window.;)

I'm really glad that the best porn game has finally earned #1 spot (and got a significant influx of new patrons).

I like BaDIK but it's just too silly, even for porn game standards.

The plot is ridiculously bad, writing is atrocious really (but since it's a porn game it doesn't matter THAT much) and characters aren't that well written either IMO. And while the amount of content we're getting is significant, considering how long we have to wait for an update it's not as impressive as PC updates for example.
I don't think that's a writing problem so much as it is a genre problem. BaDIK is at heart a big soap opera; over-the-top melodrama *is* the whole point. It's entirely fair not like that sort of thing, but it's more an indication that the game just isn't your cup of tea rather than it being poorly written.

It's a bit like objecting to all the forced sex or sharing in Pale Carnations. Those are polarizing topics and I get why they turn people off, but they're an important part of what this story is about. You can't remove them without completely changing the game, no matter how well-written the new version would be.

I'd say the pace is fairly typical for a game that's no longer in the early stages (when branching is still minimal). We get a lot of good content with the updates, too, so it's not like the wait isn't worth it. Granted, we'd always love a faster cycle, but reality is what it is.

I would say it is a bit of both. The excessive drama does tend to affect the game's story with all the bizarre coincidences and events necessary to lead to them.

Game is around a 3 months release schedule. That seems to fall whithin the norm for most games out here.

Congrats for reaching the 1st place! :cool:
I would have never thought a Honey Select based game could get that far and even surpass BaD. :oops:
I tip my hat to you knowing the best is yet to come. :giggle:

That's interesting, though I kind of would like to date them all and make a decision on who to pursue exclusively at the end to avoid starting over from the beginning. That said, I am very intrigued at the prospect of becoming exclusive with the carnations in particular. Sure, while I adore Mina and Hana, I can already envision what a relationship with them would look like, even with their backgrounds, however the kind of baggage the carnation have almost make it seem insurmountable getting to a point with them where they actually develop real romantic feelings for Ed.

Of the three, I guess Rosalind is the most realistic as a lover despite the age gap since they've already shared intimate moments together and that can serve as a foundation for what their relationship would look like. I absolutely love Veronica as my sexy Amazonian ginger, but given her personality and her somewhat fluid sexual preferences, I have a hard time seeing her treat Ed as anything other than a sex toy/plaything to help her relieve her tension/stress. And finally, while I enjoyed getting to know Felecia more in this last update, the elephant in the room remains her status as a married woman, not to mention just who and why she married him. While I can almost see her lowering her guard by 'dating' Ed, at best, I just assumed they'd only work as lovers and nothing too romantic at that.

Needless to say, I absolutely love the game, the characters and can't wait to see how it contiues.
You must be playing Edwin as a maximum simp lol. It's great that romanced based players can enjoy this too. On the other hand, I'm trying to make him into a monster... although Mina might redeem my MC somehow.

BaDIK is overrated for sure... as any game that gets that much momentum would be. That said, the writing doesn't have glaring holes. It does the CW high teen/young adult drama style of story telling rather well. I mean, it's absolutely not my preferred type of story when it comes to adult games (and just in general), but even I can appreciate it for what it is. So there that.

Pale Carnations is just on a league of it's own because no other game could strike this balance of depravity and heart so masterfully.

Eternum also had its time at the #1 spot for a day or so. So that's 2 Honey Select games that surpassed BaD, even if only momentarily.

Pale Carnations is a wonderful game, it deserves its time in the limelight. (y)

It's good to see 3 of my top 4 games are in the top 3 places. :giggle:

Now if only The Headmaster could get some love. :cry:

I'm divided on Headmaster, the updates are pretty slow. For me. the best games are -
1) Lessons in Love (because of its trippy as fuck story, I hope it ends up in the top 10 one day)
2) Pale Carnations (for the hottest sex scenes)
3) BADIK (Renders, sountrack, etc)

Honorable mentions-
1) Defending Lydia Collier (because bimbo Steph)
2) ORS (because iof the realistic art)

Another Dev Diary today!

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
It looks like GIL has completed 382 static images and 0 animations in the 26 days since our last diary - an average of roughly 134 static images and 0.0 animations per week over that period. The total average is ~136 statics and 0.2 animations per week since work on Chapter 3 Update 4 began. Here's the graphical version:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
We're still heavily weighted on the static side as we wait for work on the exhibition proper to begin, which will presumably be animation-heavy. And we still have no real idea how the animation or static totals for this update will compare with the last few non-exhibition updates. By these numbers it will take until approximately May to match Chapter 3 Update 3's static image total, which is probably the best ballpark estimate we can make for the moment. But it's an extremely imprecise estimate, so don't read more into it than "we're still a long ways off."

The picture in the diary appears to be August sitting at a desk in what is presumably his office. That's certainly an interesting one, since it suggests he's going to have yet another (an even more formal) conversation after his talk in Update 3. I'll be very curious to see what comes of that.

Since there were mentions of so-called top tier games BADIK and Eternum, I wanted to ask Pale Carnations fans what do they think about them. May the devs forgive me for this offtop discussion, but I'm genuinely curious. I played Once in a life time and Eternum and quickly became bored from the beginning. While Eternum seem high above from the first game, I clearly may name the pros that I saw: it's good graphic and very interesting idea. And still, in Eternum I didn't even reached the VR part of the game, I simply became bored. Beginning and introductions was awfully long, there were too many unnecessary characters that just dropped on you without proper introduction into the story. Unlike Pale Carnations, the story choices felt meaningless and barely affected anything. If in PC the player start from the beginning engage in to the story and main conflict, in these two games you feel like you just playing slice of life story. Yeah, probably not just my cup of tea, I'm not going to say these games are bad, but for me they felt, like they not worth my attention. If story not catching you from the beginning it most likely it probably won't get any better, that's my believe.

As for BADIK, situation quite opposite. At first I was really engaged in the story and the gameplay, but at the some point I just started to get tired. Repetitive cycle of partying than cheap drama conflicts than again partying and than again boring conflicts. I started to lose interest in any of the main girls, well I liked Sage at first, but her sex buddy attitude and cheap drama with boyfriend ruined my opinion about her. So I stayed playing mostly pursuing second plan college girls, which suited me just fine. Still, I find this game worthy of the top for two reason: outstanding animations with large portion of girls for most tastes, good writing (except after chapter 4-5 when it went into stagnation and more boring conflicts started to pop up) and really good humor, as the part of the writing.

Concerning Eternum and Once in a Lifetime, it seems that you just have a different sense of humor. I definitely loved it, and the humor was the ribbon on top that made it all better for me.

BADIK is my guilty pleasure in that it's an awful lot like a soap opera, only the characters are actually hot. Totally understand why people don't like it, but it just manages to scratch that itch just right.
