VN Ren'Py Completed Acting Lessons [v1.0.2] [DrPinkCake]

[Alphaeboy]

My problem with Megan is that she feels like she was designed for the MC, as opposed to her own person. She's a Mary Sue, and as a result their relationship feels "too good to be true", all their problems were external as opposed to any internal ones. Even if you vibe with somebody really well, there's going to be bumps, maybe not big ones, but ones to at least give you a bit of pause(hell their biggest internal issue was whether Megan was ready to take a chance on their relationship or not). I think the Thrupple scenario with Melissa would have been perfect, it doesn't need to be a huge fight but it could be something that they do have to overcome, to finally get to that point where Megan say "okay i'm willing to try this out because i love you both", but nope she's just accepts it.

I do agree about Megan's death, one she had this great career, and relationship going for her, then you have the fact, that Megan was Melissa's rock, her soul-mate, she had a really shit life, and that was the one person who helped her get through it all, and now she's gone, not to demean Melissa's death or anything, but it definitely feels like the depth of pain is greater on that side. The "comforting scene" was also more powerful because of how real it felt. Most narratives like to use some melodramatic dialogue or moment to represent "healing", but DPC going for that approach shows how much he understands, how powerful simply having somebody there can be. Just knowing that there's somebody who understands what your going through, and is simply willing to be there without expecting anything else from you can be extremely comforting.

Yeah, the MC relationship with Melissa and Rena (I played her route last) felt more real, especially with both girls being somewhat emotionally damaged plus they both have daddy issues.

Also, I don't see the problem with Megan accepting the threesome relationship. She treated and knows Melissa and didn't want to lose her and the MC. The MC is in love with both works as well, personally, I feel like they work better with doing that than just dating Megan. Or Being with both girls and wanting Rena.

Another thing, I replayed it last night had sex with Anna, and told her I still love her but I also had sex with Rena while dating both girls. If you keep Megan alive and also escape from that crazy bitch. She told the MC You talked about how Anna broke you but in the end, you became just like her. I was like damn I was waiting for someone to call him on that as well but having Megan say it hurts a lot lol.

I was also surprised how Rena is cool with fucking many girls during her romance path. Because she finds out about MC fucking her friends (After the club or Beach) and his ex. She does call him out on it if you confront her lol I was so shocked. Including, Liam calling the MC out if you choose her over Megan or both girls.

It's not really about her accepting it, but rather how fast she accepted it. Any person in that situation would need some time to process, and even then it would be hard to totally see it from the POV of the other ppl. Dating multiple ppl, and fucking others at the same time is fine, your not exclusive, but it's common sense to not do it with a person's best friend. So even if it wasn't malicious, it's still going to take a person in Megan's situation some time to clearly see the picture. It would have been a good time to add some dynamism to her character, showing Megan doesn't always handle every situation perfectly, she's a human being with her own flaws but tries to do right by the ppl close to her.

Rena isnt' in much of a position to judge so she doesn't, but she does know that she doesn't want to be the type of person she has been, and so refuses Jonah if he seems like he'll take her down that path. Honeslty thought the Rena path could have been done better. Not a fan of you basically having to fuck her twice, then push for a relationship with her, as it goes against her own character development. Would have been better if she had a lust path and romance path, if you fuck her before the club scene then she's not interested, but if you hold back, but made the right dialogue choices with her, then she's interested. I do get it though DPC wrote himself into a corner with Megan being the main LI, so kind of had to work with it.


Didn't like Liam calling out the MC in that scene, felt too patronizing for my taste, like i get if he doesn't agree, but he straight up acts like he understands the MC better than he knows himself. Even worse, he talks about how Megan is "good for MC" but ignores the fact that Jonah is willing to pursue a relationship with a girl he's know for a few weeks over her, so does Jonah really half deep feelings for Megan as Liam thinks? probably not. Wouldn't be fair to Megan for him to be with her just because she's "good for him". It also felt invalidating from the POV of me as the player, like DPC yet again was trying really hard to force Megan down our throats, which begs the question, why give me the choice then?

Excellent game. It's not simply an erotic narrative; it's a full-fledged dramatic story with only a few parts of 18+ material. Characters are so beautifully written that you feel very close to them, and the events of the game work very well for you as a result of that wonderful writing.

If you look hard enough on both games of DPC you will see the ex-theme in both of them. As DPC once said most of the stories he writes he heard or seen IRL.
EX-theme is somewhat crucial in both of them. In this game it became one of endings, in BaDIK it will become.
Personally I think DPC experienced that hard relationship ending before and portrait it in both of his games. That's why it feels alive - it comes from IRL experience.
As far as I can see most of incest game devs never had siblings IRL, most of drama games devs never had real drama in his (her) lives. That's why these genres dying out - people who's trying to write it never experienced it IRL. They only have their dreams, but dreams often lies. The real live story always better then dreamed one.

not really. This is quite the unrealistic story. It's more of a Hollywood feelgood, or feelbad, depending on the audience, experience. Not sure what you mean by "these genres". The point of porn games isn't to "feels". This kind of "genre" is specially designed to sucker people with "feels".

I would say Rena drugged the girls but Peter most likely buried the house or at least knew it burning and did nothing about it.

but she was there to kill them so either they worked together which is unlikely since that wasnt shown or mentioned at all or 1 event happened without the other villain´s knowledge, but it doesnt make sense either way because, if peter started the fire, then leah just rushed into a house catching fire to drug 2 girls and then leave, timing is way too convenient OR Leah just went into the house, drugged the girls and left which makes me wonder what the point of that even was AND then peter set the house on fire knowing the girls were there and hes a scumbag but he doesnt strike me as this maniatic that would just murder 2 persons out of nowhere, because if he was like that he would have shot the MC by this point

 

[minoslune]

Or maybe went to the place and then left after doing something? and he didnt drug the girls or set the house on fire and leah did all that? but why would peter go back, commit home invasion and then just leave ? there must be something Im missing

This game has strangest threesome scene I have ever seen.

Yeah, DrPinkCake definitely likes to punch you in the gut. After first act of Being A DIK I was so annoyed that I almost unistalled game -.- First titjob boner killer then act one ending... AARG! But cold shower and fact that it took me almost one day to download game made me continue.

Hi folks quick question:

Can you save Melissa & Megan from the fire... or stop the fire all together? I'm actually really pissed that one died. Did u do something massively wrong at some point?

No, the fire and the death of one of the girls are important and unavoidable parts of the story. Nothing you can do but to press on and survive the aftermath.
What happens is simply part of the life lesson the game tries to teach You're supposed to feel sad and / or pissed to drive that lesson home.

Then I'm not playing further. The game was good. But fuck that. If I wanted to feel powerless then I would just continue my daily life

Thanks for the answer tho.

Well, that's exactly what the game wants to say in the end:
Pain is a fact of life you can't hide nor run away from. So you better find a way to accept it, work through it and move on, leveraging the experience into something better.
Which is why there's plenty of happy end to be had after the dark shit the game puts its characters through (though the quality of the 'happy' certainly is influenced by earlier decisions).
That's why I always recommend playing through to the end at least once.
But everybody is free to make their own decisions.

You're welcome.

I understand this but for me these games are supposed to be escapism. When I ask for recommendations I actually put this in so I can avoid such thing. It's the same reason i stopped playing Black Heart Hotel. Geuss my sources failed me this time lol. But thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

Yeah, I can understand it.

Bit surprised you didn't know something was gonna happen in the game, as it's actually become quite infamous for the fire scene.
To this day quite a few people haven't forgiven the author for what he did there. Not least since the game plays right into some of the tropes of the 'adult' genre up to that point. Hits people completely out of the blue.
Personally love it for the audacity, but I certainly get why many don't.

Anyway, better luck with the next title and have a good one...
