VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.10.1] [Dr PinkCake]

[Simpgor]

Wanna bet that in January (the month after the game gets an update) you will find out that DrPinkCake is going to have at least a thousand Patrons more than in November?

Not particularly I'm just saying that baDiK does nothing special in 2023 every other of the "top 3"/whatever are that high (in like 1/3rd the amount of time) for a reason..... if dpc dropped update 1 this year people would be like "it has potential but some things need to be addressed" and now it's "please for the love of fuck no more animal husbandry minigames!"

 

[LiuXuande]

Explain it plain English how your godking reinvented the genre.... I had no idea he was also developing renpy behind the scenes! He really should brag about that more.

Also I touch on this exact shit in my review.....do you defend jumping jack flash this hard? Why not IT INVENTED (not revolutionized) the 3d gaming genre

Before Being A Dik, AVNs were a niche like far more that today. DPC put the genre into the spotlight with his game like none did and encouraged devs to try their chances on Patreon. Whether you like it or not, Being A Dik is BY FAR, the most popular AVN and the standard that most devs want to follow. No game in the screenshot matches that.

So where are you getting these objective stats about the female characters?

1) a poll that appeared on DrPinkCake's Patreon;

2) what people write somewhere else;

3) logic and the awareness of how internet works: the most extreme and negative people are the most vocal.

Season 10 is not worjing, the game is closing after starting season 10

Download fix from scrappy. You probobly had mod instaled

 

[Asnaeb_]

At the bed scene after Quinn talks to the drug dealer game closed itself. I tried crash fixer but it's still the same. Has anyone experienced this situation and how can I solve it?

Stop bothering me by stressing evidence and simple logic. Reviews don't count. Likes don't count. Views numbers and posts numbers do count.

Don't answer me anymore.

I have only finished my "others" path as is my main one but I gotta say that although BADIK remains at the top3 of the genre to me the game is feeling more and more like a cookie-cutter formula and disappointing in several aspects.

The sex scenes are as bland as ever, high quality, sure, but it lacks something different... after what it feels like 100s of them since the game started they don't excite me as much anymore, I guess visual appeals can only get you so far.
The carrot on a stick approach of the main plot seems to piss me off more and more as time goes by, the plot it self advances but only to bring you more questions and now here we are, waiting another year only for that to repeat itself.
THE FUCKING ENDLESS POINTLESS MINI GAMES. Do you want me to play multiples paths or not DRPINK? Because this certainly doesn't make me wanna play again having to do all that shit again + free roams.

IDK, I'm still digesting the update but this is how the game is making me feel every time a finish an update since EP8 onwards.
I used end those excited and craving for more up to EP7, not anymore.

That is why we use mods. As he continues to make his game unplayable with his minigames for us, VN readers, to try multiple paths, we use mods to bypass them. I am happy we have these 2 guys, Scrappy and Sancho, to make this less tiring for the people who are only interested in the story. I don't mind minigames when it isn't too complex. that I have to stress out trying to understand them or reading a book tutorial to understand how they work. Now the new brawler reminds me of the good old times of mortal kombat combos, where you had to be fast to press your combo during a certain amount of time for it to work. Even on normal mode you can't just chill as pressing the commands. He even removed the easy mode. So now you are forced to do them successfuly if you want to have a good progression even when that isn't the reason why you play VNs in the first place.

I play on other path, I didn't see my mc telling her that. that he was over. She was dwelling about cheating Maya with him.

Dunno what you've done in your save but if you pick everything with Josy after that split she will show pics in EP10 on her phone and will tell him that she still have feelings for him. You will have a choice on others path "you have feelings for her"/ "and you're over her". No such a choice on any other of LI paths

So his f95 is invalid but his patreon (which not everyone is on) is? Where is this somewhere else? I've seen it written over here and over there (2 places) that quinn is the best? Ah yes so you also knew I would ask for sources and you still said "uhhh places" you really won this one!

Bro just because you touch your penis looking at 3d renders does not mean it isn't niche..... go into public and see how many people have played the most popular "game where you flirt with fake people to see their fake sexy bits"

As I've just wrote above, F95 users don't represent what BaDIK players think of the game AT ALL. People who post here on F95 are a quite peculiar, vocal and niche minority.

As I've already pointed out, if you followed this thread you'd think that most players hate Jill and Maya. The truth is that Jill and Maya (with Sage) are the most popular female characters.

Anyway, if you want to know which games are the most popular here on F95, you just have to look at the views numbers.

Dude, it's evident that you completely disregarded my entire reply just to focus on F95 users' ratings not mattering. However, my main point was about DPC's questionable practices and how many people disliked the anti-mod in episode 10, which caused the game to crash on purpose. Now, let's address your statement about F95 users' opinions not representing players' thoughts on the game. I strongly disagree with that. F95 played a crucial role in bringing Pinkcake's game to the mainstream, as it is one of the largest, if not the largest, porn game sites. Moreover, the game received significant hype from various YouTubers who play porn games and porn game developers. Claiming that F95 doesn't represent BaDik is a narrow-minded perspective. I am completely certain that if this game hadn't been shared on F95 and other porn platforms, it would have remained a hidden gem. Additionally, a majority of the game's supporters on Patreon, who actively fund its development, are F95 users.

 

[KingCoomba]

99.9% of people on f95 aren't paying for the game at all, through patreon, GOG or steam. At the end of the day we aren't the target demographic for the game or its audience. Criticism here might be valid (...some) from an objective standpoint, but all that actually matters to a games development is what the paying audience thinks, be they blindly feeding the creators ego or genuinely enjoying their direction for the game.
Besides, we can bitch all we fucking want but at the end of the day here we are FOUR YEARS later still playing it, haha.

EDIT: for the record, I'll happily admit there's a bunch of shit in it that's fucking stupid, but I still love the game and will be right back here for ep11.
I am the problem.

 

[ReallyNotTimmy]

Ha iam curious of how you thaught it will go with Josy if you decided tzo go for a real relationship with soemone else?

Well here’s the particlar path I created before I got to the scenario I wrote about.

1. Achieve the throuple.
2. But rather than “ask for something more,” I had the MC tell them he just wanted to be friends.
3. Also had him tell Derek he still had feelings for Josy. Got that? Still have feelings for her. That’s an option built into the game & everything.
4. Also had him choose to hang out with her, and be all boyfrendy and shit, when given the option.
5. In episode 8, when he has to choose an LI, and we see various black-and-white collages of the LI options, you see a Josy one… and an “Others” path. Which I took.
6. In episode 9, I had him tell Josy he thinks about her all the time.

So now we’re in episode 10, Tremolo’s hanging out with Josy again, she gets into lingerie and climbs into bed (in a pillow fort, but it’s on her bed) with him… and now the very game cockblocks him. And now Josy is uncomfortable around him, because she’s embarrassed about confessing her crush on him when he’s not interested.

It’s extremely annoying, and I have only two words to DPC about this particular development:



I do like the rest of the game though. So far.

What you're writing is exactly what everybody was writing here 1 year ago (me too). 1 year after and the dude has more Patrons than 1 year ago.

People should learn from past experience.

What's more is that this episode 10 is far better than episode 9.

I'm not much less investment required to see "how the mighty have fallen" once a year

 

[hakuna-matata]

I can't believe this buffoon is Jill's father, let alone a Royce. The dude is a happy drunk.
Meeting the parents went better than expected. I was expecting them to be more snobby and snooty.

Any idea why he is hunting Scrappy mod and not Sancho mod?
Is Sancho mod somehow approved by DPC, or is Scrappy on DPC blacklist?

jokes on him. it took 10 minutes for scrappy to upload a fix to his anticheat.

I do. And I pay a lot too. I am here for hints and tip how to proceed in the game, because although I love the game, DPC can be an arse about the minigames.

 

[IvanGam]

I'm not sure if anyone has already pointed this out, but BaDik fell to 5th place after the release of episode 10. Now, we just need DPC's braindead patreons to snap out of their delusion and stop blindly supporting him. The good doctor needs a reality check that he's not a god.

You seem to have comprehension difficulties or you're a troll. I never said AVNs aren't a niche, I'm saying that It is less that before and if today so many new games are developed, it is because someone like DPC proved you can make millions while creating them.

In any case, talking with you is a waste of time. Off to the ignore list you go.

I wonder how much it cost his fans to pay for those 10 minutes
