A silly question: How can I change variables of this game without mod installed (wanna change some variable of Ep8 for Ep9)? I've heard that DPC is pretty stubborn about "protecting" HIS game so I wonder if I'd fuck up my save while trying to do so.

The official walkthrough is not mentioning the new cheating variable.
DPC gonna unleash the break up scenes at the end of season 3 because of all those actions you took and watch the world burn. :KEK:

That issue has been there since forever. The official guide never tells the impact of some decisions that it totally should.

Guys, is it possible to win Shots competition with Becky? If so how to do it?

You have to be on 9.1. There was a bug in the initial release. From there just pick the choices that focus on the minigame.

Yeah easy, Transfer shot, pour fast and Focus.
But the real question is why would you pick Becky ? If you pick Tiffani, you get the best parts of the shots battle. :ROFLMAO:

If you got "Others" then you got knocked off Jill path at some point. Mr. Bubu has a good guide for it.

For the Jill branch in a nutshell, Basically stay on the CHICK or Neutral path, Jill must think you're a nice guy by EP4, Make out with her whenever there's an option, choose to "Fight for Jill", and save her at the recital.

The EP6 date with Jill isn't necessary for Jill to appear as an option during the DIK breakfast but it is important for Jill choosing MC at a later point.

Doesn't matter if you use a mod or not if DPC's protection checks contradicting choices made.... It's not detecting mods... It's detecting impossible variables in a playthrough... You can't be a huge Dik and in a relation with Jill, Burke can't have the Jade vid when you are in a relation with Maya/Josy.... Messing with saves that followed a certain path will give conflicting variables.

I disagree here.
If he let the boring and tedious rendering and basic stuff to others, He will in fact have more time over to work the details. So in my opinion.. Getting help enhance quality. Not the other way around. Similar to a film director that leaves like 90% of the total work to others.. Still gets all the cred for the finished Movie :)

My gut feelings for that are split up. I think you both could be right with your opinion. Like it could happen that the quality drops, because if you delegate important stuff you did by yourself to that point, it might not be the standard of the quality you used to achieve as a developer by yourslef. On the the other hand, its an opotunity to focus and take more time on other things. So its a situation where it depends on the people you get into the boat. If they do a great job, i do not see any problem. If they cannot offer the same quality, it could cause grudge on the fans. So one way or the other, its DPCs decision to set up expantions for his company and be good about it. The best thing we can do is to just trust him to want the best for his own game and i do.

And that's where I felt it went wrong. This could have indeed been a girl that hit it off with all the DIKs because she is essentially a bro but a girl. That's the direction I felt it should have gone and move with Jacob from there on. But she is pretty much glued to Jacob. Why? Because he let her into the party?
I feel there should have been way more interaction between her and the DIKs in general, not just Jacob. She's just following him around like a puppy it feels like.

It's the mutual art/drawing thing

I think the way this website works is the best way to maintain a healthy relationship between developer and user. Its like a well ment handshake. You like it? Then go ahead and support DPC if you want to, the game does not developes by itself. If you dont like it, thats fine, just get the fck out of here :D

I like how some developers have control when to release the free version; I don't mind waiting.

I feel like this site always help most AVNs get Patrons than most sites.

Vinny is strange. On the one hand he behaves like an asshole and on the other hand somehow like a big brother who wants to teach his little brother something. The whole thing with the dog, that he should know his place, sounds like Vinny is reprimanding his little brother. I'm looking forward to EP10 and how things will go with Vinny.

The cameras will have always been in the DIK Mansion because I assume so the DIK Mansion was the campus clubhouse before. Rusty's father will have only intervened to make the clubhouse the DIK Mansion.

Tommy is actually a loser and through the MC Tommy becomes more and more aware of that.

Both Vinny and Tommy are losers but at least Tommy knows he is Vinny on the other hand thinks he's the GOAT or to put it a other way Vinny thinks he is Josy but really he's windy:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

People are free to use mods if they want to, it's no skin of my nose. But I've got to stick up for the game mechanics a bit in the face of the above criticism. It seems to me the common thread in these complaints is that the unmodded game limits a player's choices. I can understand that if your goal is just to unlock all scenes as quickly as possible then those limits would be frustrating, but if you want to actually play the game in a way that makes the MC a reasonably consistent character whose choices have consequences for the world around him as well as himself, those limits are surely a necessary part of the process.

The DIK/CHICK system is meant to be an approximation of mood and personality. It is far from perfect, of course, and can't ever hope to convey the complexities of a real person's attitude. But there is a logic to the idea that a character who makes certain choices would lean in a certain direction, personality-wise, and respond to situations accordingly, that such a character would be more or less attractive to other characters as a result, and that the choices he makes would open some doors and close others.

If you're reading the situations and the dialogue and thinking about the choices, then some of the limits mentioned above shouldn't be coming as a surprise, in my view, because they mostly make sense within the framework of the game and the personality you've shaped for the MC with choices. A CHICK MC is less likely to want to respond to a situation aggressively, a DIK MC is less likely to want to hug a friend. Of course, we know real people are more complicated than that, but as a rough sketch it's not so unrealistic. I also don't think the choice about whether to go with Jill or take care of Sage is such a far-fetched dilemma the way it's presented, and the consequences of that choice seem about right to me, knowing what we know about Jill's personality in particular.

Each to their own, and mods can certainly have value sometimes, but I get a lot of satisfaction out of knowing the game takes note of my choices and unfolds differently because of them.

This is a good argument. It is the argument I expected and I get it. However you are arguing it makes sense when it really doesn't. Any one of us can be a really kind, sympathetic guy/girl 99% of the time but have a moment, a day, a week when stuff just goes wrong. Where you become angry and frustrated and act out of character. This is normal. And it happens frequently. And this is what BaDIK's system fails to take into account. Once you are locked into a path it's incredibly hard to get off. Say you act nice 8 times in a row and that pushes you from neutral to slightly chick and you are faced with a couple of choices and the one you want to pick is locked behind being neutral of dik. You can't do shit about it. It is, factually, an unrealistic and broken system.

In any game with a functional and rational system you are always given at least a choice to act nice/evil and the game adds up the amount of times you act either way to shape up your personality accordingly. You can lock scenes, events or paths behind that overall score. That at least keeps it balanced. It doesn't force you to pick evil options 10 times in a row just so that you can comeback to neutral ground.
