This sounds like you don't like the theme and characters for BaD, which is fine, but doesn't really add to whether DPC's skills as a developer are overrated or not. When it comes to straight game design for visual novels, I think BaD might be one of the most impressive options out there at this time. Even the mobile apps like Rooster and Swyper have more thought put into their design than most full VNs these days.

This was good enjoyed that quite a bit the way we can flirt with Jane and see how that goes makes me wonder if that will go any further if that's the case probably not looking good for the Dad. Interesting choice in MC that sure is different from the same generic MC we get in most games so it's a nice change.
Hardly the worst role model sure DPC has done some questionable things but he does make a pretty decent story well up until a certain point anyway.

There are many games that are just awful in every way, I don't comment on them because there is no point. My disappointment with DPC is that he has the skills to do something absolutely amazing, but he doesn't. AL had a deeply flawed story line but what made it great was the relationship among the lead characters, so he killed one of those characters leaving the flawed story line (which just got worse as the story moved on.) In BaD almost every character is in a relationship and not one single character is faithful to that relationship. Add pointless mini games, juvenile humor.... I could go on, but this is another game's discussion. If S97 wants to admire DPC's rendering ability, okay. I just hope that S97 can tell a better story from start to finish.
I enjoyed the first release, renders are good, the story as well, apart from some bugs that were already mentioned I think this has a great potential.
There is one thing though that I don't get. We have the option to be not so nice with the girls, which is given by the situation, Mc lost his mother very recently whom he seemed to love very much and yet his father seems already moving on, moving in with someone in the other end of the country, after 6 months that his wife died, already seems fishy, which is reflected upon, while the narrative never mentioned that they had problems in the marriage. So in this situation it's understandable if the main character doesn't like the new environment he was put in, we do have choices about it as well, yet in the default dialogues he's acting all goody-two shoes about it. That's all right if we choose that way with our options, but the opposite choices aren't reflected at all, conversations go the same way regardless, and we get the narration about our relationship improving with them. On the other hand, if we go for the instant flirty route, the events like kissing Jane are instantly mentioned and has added dialogues, while the other route options is just being ignored mostly. I get that this is most likely so that the plot could be propelled in a certain way, but then having choices about how we handle this new situation seems pointless, since if we're acting unaccepting towards to the whole thing, it's just rolls as if we didn't. It's the same issue I have with Doors right now, since this makes the story incohesive, and nullifies the impact of our choices, since they are only the "do" or "do not do" types at the end.

Thanks dude, I read your post. If I understand you correctly, you want more dialogue and thought options for when the relationships are not going as well. That can be implemented for sure. As for the default dialogue, well, handling of one's grief is subjective. I can't really give anything away at the moment, but stick around, and the story will flesh out into something more of your liking. Cheers

i agree with another comment...MC should be a bit taller...
Something like that yeah. We make a choice of warming up towards to them, we get a few extra line because of that, but when we're acting cold, the flow is the same just without the extra line. Like when we're rejecting the hug, and then the dialogue regardless of that goes into the butter up towards them way. We decide not to help out, just watch TV, dialogue is still the same and our relationship gets better. If we're choosing to sort of ignore them, the lines doesn't reflect upon that, unlike when we're much open to this whole situation. The only instance where I haven't checked out what would be different is when they have sex, I interrupted them on both routes, because fuck them, if I don't have sexy time, no one else should have.

Don’t worry, brother. The MC will be at the same height or taller than the majority of the women in this game. It just so happens that Jane and Lana are two naturally tall sisters.
