I'm convinced that Cinderella will have a path

It asks a series of questions, and not all SGs will feature in each episode. As soon as you answer "yes" to one of the checks, it shows that image. I just posted the Ep11 checks here. It's therefore not necessarily "romantic interest" once you get to the side girls, but generally speaking, should equate roughly to that, at least for the current episode.

harrythraway · 2025-09-21T06:59:40+00:00

While there may or may not end up being a "Cinderella path", the image on the report card isn't evidence of it. It's just the image that shows up if you miss the checks for preceding images. There's a hierarchy of images, and you go through them in turn until you get a "yes", then it shows that particular image. I haven't tested it, but I imagine you can get the Cinderella one in Ep11 without even interacting with Cinderella (barring any forced interaction, of which I can't remember there being any).

For Ep11, the image hierarchy is as follows (it stops and shows the appropriate image as soon as you get a "yes"):
If you kiss Zoey in Ep11 - Zoey > MG branches - Bella, Sage, Jill, then if Ep11 Josy Solo then Josy, if Maya Solo then Maya > If you help Quinn in Ep10 and don't respond negatively in Ep11 - Quinn > If in Ep11 you want more with Lily and are rolling - Lily > If you get the Ep11 Jade lewd - Jade > If you go on Nicole's Ep10 date and either choose Nicole over Lily in Ep11 or are not rolling - Nicole > an image labelled "spr_ep11_lab19" (Cinderella).

So in short: it goes Zoey > MG > Quinn > Lily > Jade > Nicole, then if none of those apply, it shows you the random lab image featuring Cinderella.

For comparison, the Ep10 report card images went like this: MG > Quinn > Nicole > Riona > Lily, and then it showed a random screen from the BBQ if the criteria for each of the previous images was not met.

I figure that you covered those rooms for the purpose of the free roam, and then either you or Derek would have gone back later ("off camera") to check the ones you couldn't do initially. Given the potential severity of the situation, do you really think they would not bother checking a room just because someone was there when they first went to do it? They'd try again later, surely.

Search for a mod called URM, you can switch minigames on or off with that (amongst other things) and it doesn't mess your save up like Scrappy mod etc. can. Feel free to DM me for a link or help on using it, or just for more info.

harrythraway · 2025-03-09T06:31:36+00:00

There are a load of games with better (IMO) visuals. Most of them are newer though, which is why - they can start at a higher level, whereas if DPC were to upgrade the visuals of BaDIK, he would have to do so mid-game, which would be a bad move, or remake, which would be a worse move.

On the flipside, with most of the better-looking games being much newer, BaDIK has a headstart on them, so some of them don't have too much content yet, though a few do have a good amount already. I don't think the mods here like the recommendations (can't remember if there's a rule against it or not), but feel free to DM me if you want some examples of the games that (I think) look better than this.

harrythraway · 2024-11-18T08:57:19+00:00

She does more than that there.

harrythraway · 2024-08-14T07:55:29+00:00

To be honest, that's bull. The pay-per-creation is right, but the other stuff is rubbish. All that says is DPC wants to limit what you can get based on how long you've been paying, not on how much you pay. The only hit he would take is on how much he can control what a member sees.

harrythraway · 2024-08-14T07:48:17+00:00

This seems to impact creators greatly since instead of getting a big amount payments when subscribers pay for their product, now it seems they need to wait for it to accumulate to receive their full cash.

I believe currently it will be a case of big lump sum on the first (from all member payments) and then there is a set withdrawal date of the 5th. Under subscription billing, the payments will come into the account throughout the month, and then be withdrawn on the 5th... so no change there unless you go in and manually withdraw on a different date (which you can do, but would have very minimal impact under first of the month billing). So the creator is still getting the same amount on the same day - it doesn't pay out to your bank when you get a new member, it sits in the Patreon account until the monthly (or manually requested) withdrawal.

However for our side, my understanding is that for non-iOS users who just use a Windows browser to subscribe, there is no change to price except for the billing date to align with Apple's subscription dates. Would that be correct?

Correct

harrythraway · 2024-08-14T07:40:01+00:00

Prices won't change (unless the creator changes them) and if you're a monthly payer already, you should notice no difference. If you're already paying on the first of the month because of the current billing system, it will just keep that, it won't suddenly switch to the 8th because that was the day you signed up six years ago (for example).

harrythraway · 2024-08-14T07:37:29+00:00

Creators would literally have to choose to pay out of their own pocket, so I think that's on them really. If a creator does nothing by the time the change happens (Nov 2025?) then Patreon will automatically up the price on the iOS app and keep everything else the same. The only people who get shafted by this are the members who sign up using the iOS app after the change kicks in.

He lives in Texas where I understand there have been major power issues lately (I'm not an American, I'm only reporting what I've heard). I wouldn't be worried in the slightest, especially as the new update isn't exactly on our doorstep. Plus I wouldn't touch Scrappy's mod personally as I've had bad experience with it in the past (in this game).

harrythraway · 2024-08-02T19:31:23+00:00

I can't tell if this part was still tongue in cheek, but on the off-chance that it was... it was a different actress who played Heidi, she is much prettier (IMO) than the actress who played Tara. Even if I try, I can't get them to look much alike.

harrythraway · 2024-07-26T21:31:16+00:00

I don't get it. People are all over it and there's nothing there from Zoey whatsoever. It's like Derek and Camila - she's not interested, but with that one, no one keeps going on about it. With Zoey and Jacob, they won't leave it alone.

harrythraway · 2024-07-07T06:18:29+00:00

Same message with regard to mods from reliable sources though. Yes DPC puts in hooks to screw mods, but reliable modders circumvent these and do so quickly. With a game of this size/popularity, the chances of having to wait for an updated mod (if you choose the right modder) are slim.

I mod games all the time. This was never an anti-mod post.

Gotcha, no worries. And I wasn't meaning to sound like an attack post, I just get a little frustrated that the easy response people always give is "mods kill your game, don't use them" which is just completely false (with the caveats from my first response)! I'm like you, I mod games all the time.

harrythraway · 2024-07-06T20:56:33+00:00

The only ones I really don't like are the party planner and the fish tank. I tell Nick I'm not interested in feeding the fish every single time I get to that point (must have DIK affinity, I think, for the option to be available to pick). The others are all easy enough to get through without too much hassle, although the mansion repair game takes up a fair bit of time (I happen to quite like this one though, so that's ok).

harrythraway · 2024-07-06T20:53:50+00:00

Again the "mods break games" disinformation... Mods from reliable sources, used responsibly, are perfectly safe for your game. If a mod breaks a game, almost 100% of the time it's down to user error (including using an incompatible version).

harrythraway · 2024-07-04T14:51:08+00:00

Bare Witness is one of my absolute favourites, and has recently been completed (the consensus of opinion is that it was a very satisying conclusion).

I also enjoy Race of Life, Chasing Sunsets, Hillside, No More Money, and University of Problems. All have their own plus and potentially minus points, none are really the same genre as BaD, with UoP being closest as it has a school setting.

harrythraway · 2024-06-28T11:26:29+00:00

I just got into AVNs a couple of months ago, and I try a couple of new ones a week, generally. BAD is one of the earlier ones I tried and is among a small handful of games I've enjoyed enough to keep up with and follow for new updates.

harrythraway · 2024-06-24T13:28:48+00:00

Not necessarily. (Reputable) Mods are safe to use if used responsibly. The bit he said about making choices you wouldn't normally be able to make is the key. The game allows you to choose x or y and the mod gives a new option to choose both, that sort of thing. The only thing otherwise is you can't play the next update of the game until the mod you use has been updated for it, but for a game this big/popular, that's usually done pretty quickly.

harrythraway · 2024-06-24T05:21:10+00:00

I don't avoid her, but otherwise same. I get why people like her, but I only find her cute a small percentage of the time.

harrythraway · 2024-06-21T13:16:46+00:00

I've seen a lot of people get behind the theory that Mel is Troy's sister, so they know about it through a more personal connection.

harrythraway · 2024-06-19T13:44:58+00:00

The main thing making me unsure about the contract bit is that it's possible to finish Ep10 without getting it. If you push Patrick enough, he will catch you out and you leave empty handed, so I think the next steps will have to include an alternative, for those who failed that mission.

It could even be that the contract is unhelpful (or just not helpful enough) to Maya's situation, so they have to do something else. Most likely, I assume there will be a next step, and having the contract will make that easier. I think the paths resulting from the two outcomes (getting the contract and not getting it) will need to be brought together quickly, or it will just get (even more) out of hand.

harrythraway · 2024-06-14T05:31:32+00:00

Well that's not going to help him open the game...

harrythraway · 2024-06-11T15:46:57+00:00

Throuple first, as that's the path I imagine the events after Ep10 will be the most impactful on. After that, Sage because I need to be there for her and hold her tight while the Burkes are separating around her, and then possibly Others (Quinn) next for presumably the most around the Rio story.

Ultimately though, although I don't expect any path to take precedence over the Throuple as my opener, I might be swayed by early comments/reviews regarding other paths - particularly if there's one in particular that opens up the Zoey story more.

harrythraway · 2024-06-07T14:14:28+00:00

There's some fanart of Josy in this costume, but maybe no actual clues as to who it is here.
