Are you in a dark place in your life, Darkwen? If so, you might want to stop now. Josy's tragic end will leave you wishing you had never gone down this path. Trust me, I'm you from the future! Don't believe me? Codeword: Pineapple! It's your secret code! No one else could know! Pineapple!!

Question and almost surely an unpopular opinion..

I absolutely love Acting Lessons. I think that, while the formula is simple enough, it was extremely well executed and left a very good effect on me! Kudos to dev, really. I even registered to Pinkcake patreon for a while to show support.

Then, some years ago I played BADIK up to chapter 4/5. It was not good. Like below average. To the point in which I didn't care about any single character (can't even remember their names).

Does the game ever become good like Acting Lessons, in the sense of being an emotional rollercoaster? Or does it stays as the average "insert yourself so you can pretend you live this awesome everybody loves you MC time at college fucking hot girls?"

I want chaos, conflict and despair, joined with happy feelings, thrilling and emotion, like Acting Lessons. Does BADIK ever comes close to that? or stays a teenage boy fantasy?

Half the chapters deal with pregnancy, religion, abandonment, blackmail, drug addition, and identity crises. In the next few chapters, everyone will probably get AIDS and thrown in Soviet gulag. Come play!

All those sound good, but it is more a "feeling" kind of thing what I am talking about.

Acting Lessons was good not because of what happened by itself, but how it was executed. You could feel the hole in your chest by having to pick who to save and who to left to die.

I want my heart broken, my chest filled with anxiety, my throat close with guilt. I want to suffer with the characters

That was the problem I had with the time I played it. Once I was done with the material that was there, I couldn't care less about the characters and their situation. I finished reading and never felt like "ahhh i cannot wait to keep reading, Pinkcake you motherfucker release the update now".

And it was not little amount of content what I have read by then. With double the chapters, and having lost all my progress, I am here wondering if it is worth it, or will just remain a university fuck fest.

It's funny, I enjoyed AL almost up to the end. Then the incident, which I found to be kinda cheap and gimmicky, reminded me distinctly of one of those awful 'who get's kicked out of the lifeboat' test they give you in school.

Conversely I really enjoyed the first season of BaDIK, but I sometimes wonder if someone else wrote the subsequent season's

It's possible that marrying Nicole is one of the endings for Others path. However all the fun stuff happens before the end. The end will likely be a few images and some text, eg "Stripper Ending : mc married Nicole. mc started a career as stripper so they could work together. They lived happily ever after. The End."

What kind of marriage content do you expect from a game about a young 19 year old guy fresh in college?

Your best choice probably is to learn DAZ and create your own Nicole content ...

Writers say, the good start is the easy part. The hard part is thinking up a good ending. I wonder if that is what happened in AL. He couldn't think of a good way to end it, so he sort of threw a tantrum knocked everything off the table and onto the floor. I suspect he won't knock it all on the floor this time, but perhaps he really isn't sure what to do with all these loose ends.

So maybe he will simply set the HOT sorority house on fire. That would leave Bella, Jade, Cathy, Jill and the rosy girls.

It's a good point, and I'm not on the solidest of ground here because I'm working on a 'sense' or feeling here. But the latter episodes (I would say after ep5) of BaDIK just don't have the same impact. A good example, the backyard guitar lesson in ep5. I really enjoyed that scene, I could immerse myself in a romance with Sage in that scene, looking forward to more immersion coming. But it never arrived. The date in the latest episode should have had something like that but I just wasn't feeling it.

How could that be? How could an author nail the first scene then completely flub the latter?

To be honest I don't expect anything from the end of the story. My expectations disappeared after chapter 9 and now I'm just moving on to see how bad the resolution of the different plots will be. Or to sum up my opinion would be the following:

Luv' me lads (Except jabcob, fuck that son of a bitch.)
luv' me main girls
luv' me secondary girls
luv' brawler
luv' me DIK status

'Ate alphas
'Ate betas
'Ate vinny
'Ate dawe
'Ate maya's debt plot

Simple as

Yep, I'm pretty much in the same place. Was only really interested in Sage, and DPC managed to ruin her in the second season so I'm only sticking around to see the end. If there is an end and DPC doesn't just get bored with it all and drops the game.

Acting Lessons was great and a true genre changer, transforming AVNs from simple one-handed gameplay into seriously dark drama.
DIK is a completely different game, if you want to feel empty, it probably won't suit you. It's a comedy inspired by American high school movies like American Pie. The game becomes a little darker, but as the author himself claims, it won’t be as dark as AL.
The saddest thing here is that you can break girls' hearts and leave them broken, but they come to their senses over time. Except for one at the moment, who takes it the worst of all.

come on guys, you can make memes and stff but keep it in the down low. if the pages gets flooded with them then we have to clean it up. the occasional 1 or 2 memes are fine

No problem. In the future I will put everything longer than couple images under the spoiler tag, I forgot about it yesterday. :HideThePain:
Just one thing, it's not about posts veen removed it total, if people see memes in the fan art section, it will again cause a discussion of “what can be considered as an art,” and others will start spamming everything there, garbaging the thread.
Just recently there was a situation where several users began to post screenshots from the game, passed through shitty color filters on the phone, and many didn't like it, which led to a fight.
Actually, this is all that revealed anxiety, thanks for clarifying the situation.:)

I think so that you will get what you want. Many people overlook the evidence. The MC once said to Maya that EVERYONE deserves a second chance. What will be the MC's second chance? Why does he get a second chance.

Each branch contains its own pitfall that points to a point in the game. Here’s to a second chance for the MC.
