Status update Episode 8

I only care for muh bella ;D

LovelyAineChan

Ah well, guess we'll all just have to wait and see...

Carmelion

I don't see BaDIK going to the levels of Acting Lessons, dark stuff yes, but not THAT dark

Jamison

So there's a way to avoid the fire? Because happy after that is relative.

Snickersnack

Hello friend. In AL actually there is a happy ending. I am sure of it, they are all happy at the end. Try different choices.

I have the feeling Bella is really fucked up, at one point the MC says if he had known something he would have never gotten involved with her. I'm mostly worried about Maya and Josie because of Maya's religious fanatic father. The best part of this game is the light hearted goofy stuff with Derik and pursuing all the girls IMO, don't need the sad stuff that was in Acting Lessons. I don't play games to get bummed out. The linier nature of Acting Lessons where there was no path to an actual happy ending sucked. I don't mind sad paths, but stupid illogical ones for the sake of adding drama or shock value are annoying. Like a grown man couldn't drag 2 95lb girls at the same time , that forced choice was stupid.

I don't think Bella will be killed off but I'm definitely sensing some trouble of some kind coming. I get stressed out just thinking about it. I think I can survive as long as nothing too serious happens to Jill or Maya. I just feel so bad for Maya, she's so pitiful. She has the prettiest, saddest eyes and her story is something I'm kind of familiar with being from where I'm from. I live in what's called the "Bible Belt" here in the US so I've grown up with people that have experienced exactly what she's going through, maybe that's why I'm a bit more sensitive to it but I always make choices in her favor when going through the story again and I would in real life too. Jill is my pick but I feel the most for Maya, I think.

Looking forward to a complete season 2, Like to have it in my steam library as well

unless I am misunderstanding the criteria for a main girl, I don't see Bella getting killed off

Jamison

I played Acting Lessons, it was really good imo. I'd like to think I got a good ending for my decisions. BaDIK is so fun to play too! Jill's character is written pretty well. Sure do love Isabella, just had be persistent...but why do I get the feeling she's gonna get killed off?

Carmelion

originally BAD was going to be a prequel to Acting Lessons, but DPC changed that. So chances are great, no Jonas and Liam.

Jamison

You should check out Acting Lessons if you haven't while on downtime till the next episode... I'm still curious if Jonas and Liam will be making an appearance at some point

Jay C

I love how we're starting to get consequences of chasing every girl in sight. Usually in games you just get whatever you can and build your harem, it's very cool to start seeing payoffs for what you would (probably) do in real life and go for one girl. Really amazing writing.

jobberjobust

I'm in awe from this game. It captivates me, and keeps me wondering and imagining. Keep up the good work. Rarely have I been this captivated by a game, ANY game! Awesome!

Jørn Vårtun

me too

Yes it's both, he's got more experience (he didn't rest on his laurels and learnt new things) and better equipment with his huge increase in support (I suppose he got at least a couple 3090, released last year)

MasterSav

Plus the fact that he does so well at it. After replaying Acting Lessons, compared to Ep 7 of BaD the difference is astounding. Acting Lessons was good, but the difference in quality of the animated scenes is impressive. I don't know if its upgraded equipment since AL, or him just learning how to do things better but its quite a difference. Maybe it's both?

Conso

You just keep rocking this game. I know it will be months until the next episode is done but am already anticipating.

Blacklabyrinth

Jesus man, the amount of work you do on this stuff is Ludicrous, I can't tell you how refreshing it is to see a h-game writer that doesn't just drop a project.

no voices except for the Jill intro at the first startup of BaDIK

Lectiuss

question: do you have voices in the game ??? because in mine there is no sound of voices, or it is not working ....

More Quinn to come awesome.

Gray

Lol, Jill, Lil' Red Riding Hood being chased by the Big Bad Wolf with Tibalts face...Josy, Cheerleader...Maya, Secretary.

Conso

I can already think of one theme...Quinn, S&M Dungeon her being a Dominatrix lol.

Conso

Why don't you poll for a theme instead of specific girls, like how you had Riona's cyberpunk theme. That way it balances out the coverage whilst still getting fan contribution :D

JakeyBoy

And now we wait....

Flover

I'm like 99.9% sure there will be a season 3, read DPC's Q&As, he mentioned BaDIK length estimate there

Lectiuss

Thanks for the update DrPinkCake 🖤

Jill Valentine

Will there be a third season?

Lukáš Paško

Thank DPC, your work is awesome :) I have just one small (maybe stupid) question in regards of special renders. Is there any hotkey to go from one to another? Or do I always have to close one to open next one?

Luksa

That sounds great! I'm still on episode 7, and i must say the renders are really well done. Great job!

Jonas Jalapeños

If you ever need additional proofreaders, let me know!

misadventureboy

Maybe lots of twists.

EvonIk

very excited to know how it will wrap up the season 2.

EvonIk

I'm so glad DrPC is organized and productive. If their games were this good but they struggled to get out two tiny episodes a year like so many creators, it would be soul-witheringly frustrating. :)

HappyHuman

Awesome dude! Keep up the great work cannot wait to plan that thing with Sage, No spoiler here!

Alpha Protagonist

Thanks for the update Doc! Have a good day.

Zeke

This is great! Especially the part about evening the special renders) Thank you) Can't wait!)

The Exception

Sounds great, man! Keep up the amazing work.

Tank you for the news

Robin Mottart

Looking forward to this episode, I really appreciate your work

Thanks a lot for wanting to give some love to some of the less popular girls. I am sure that in the end, everybody will enjoy a bit more diversity in the renders. I can't wait to see what you have planned for the episode and the polls!

Reboot

Good luck with new episode!
