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

[Better Cock Spock]

Fuckface and Bella have this amazing dynamic, their fucking sessions are basically the hottest thing in every episode, and you really want Jill to butt into it and ruin it? You'd basically have a 2 hour session of Bella teaching Jill how to suck and ride a cock instead of steamy, tiring, hot sex.
Lord have mercy, I'd rather watch Chad and Troy have a go at fuckface

It's not that I want Jill to join, because I do love Bella and don't need more than her. But I'd view a new throuple as something fun and extra, instead of Jill "butting in" and ruining what we have. Bella does indeed have the hottest sex scenes, and you don't view it as an absolute win for her to teach Jill to be even half as good as her? Put all that yoga to work baby

A threesome with Chad & Troy before a Threesome with Bella & Jill?

The dynamic of bella and the mc is the best, basically the mc takes her out of her comfort zone and that is especially noticeable during the mini game of beerpong.

Who would have expected such a serious librarian to be a gigastacy with such a crazy past.

Well she was an OMG sister
It's fun seeing Bella be wild and cocky outside of sex, but it's perfect how it balances with her typical deadpan, icy demeanor.

 

[Outlier69]

he might actually be more important for her mental health than Jill by now

MC's magic stick is doing wonders. Give him a few more months and he'll be more important for her than even James.

Maybe later, maybe later.

It is now later.




All the quality discussion has petered out anyway, so why not simp a little

 

[mintymuz]

Maybe later, maybe later.

So guys, I would like to discuss the more emotional moments of the game. Everything involving Lana, "Do you see?", the breakups after the Crossroads choice, etc.

How successfully do you think DPC has executed these scenes, and how much does it impact your replays? Does the story positively benefit from the more mature, "darker" themes?

I thought everything around "Do you see" was really well done, and hit hard, especially with the flashbacks to where it was foreshadowed. The breakups were also good, but mostly the MJ one – I thought the others were less hard-hitting (or not hard-hitting at all).

On every playthrough, I still manage to feel a little broken inside when Josy turns up at Maya's room, and the bits that follow – seeing MJ at movie night, etc. – even if I think MC is overreacting. I take it as being more for the shock of it more than anything around "you cheated on me" or "you lied to me", it's more "how could I be so blind" ("no, I did not see," to borrow from another part of the story).

Lana and Helen... fortunately, I have no close real-life experience with either of these, so maybe that's why they didn't really hit me that hard. Possibly also because they are still sort of "new", maybe when those stories have developed a bit they will be more impactful for me.

Overall though, yes, I think the writing of these scenes is well done, and their inclusion is definitely a benefit to the game. It's one of the things that elevates this above the majority of similar games.

Hence why I said "almost", we can't be sure, but the way she said she "felt like she was constantly drowning" and was "deep down in the abyss", shit sounded too dark.

And it did get me thinking about her relationship with Jill, several times throughout the game we see her saying Jill is pretty much the most important person in her life, in EP8 she even tells Jill that she would dump fuckface if she was asked to, but then she coped quite well with Jill not talking to her considering. Add the "please stay with me" EP10 speech to this and it looks like fuckface really did a number on her despite only having known each other for a few months, he might actually be more important for her mental health than Jill by now

doesn't it happen in chapter 9? after, not before, that Jill avoids her after seeing her with Mc through the window.

in a rather absurd dynamic in which she first asks Mc to leave Jill if she wants to continue the relationship with her, and then later declares herself ready to drop everything if Jill asks

the emotional moments, which DPC did not pretend to be such, are all quite successful, the simpler they are (like the scene of Bella alone on the phone dealing with the end of the story with MC) the more they get to the target.


Of the various moments you mentioned: the Lana issue for now hasn't really grabbed me much, and it's not even overly dramatic so far, her father's inability to deal with it is something we've really recently discovered, and in Jill's behavior it's never been such a central aspect, recurring yes, but not that important, as an adult she doesn't even appear that angry at her parents for their decisions.

To be a teensy bit fair, Bella wanted MC to choose her or Jill, so he chose Bella. They were going to tell Jill, but just like the MJ reveal, Jill learned about it at the most inopportune time. But yeah, she was ready to drop us if needed Idk if she'd feel the same way now though.

Unless there's some dramatic twist that reveals a darker death for Lana, I don't see any future Jill drama stemming from her sister's death. She's definitely handling it the best of the three Royces.
It could've served as a mirror to MC and his dead mother, but he hardly knows anything about her. He's probably going to learn her surname at the end of the diary, instead of ever asking Neil about it in 19 fucking years.

It does, I just wrote EP8 because I'm a dumbass.

 

[KiwamiLorenzo]

Probably has already been asked here before, but do you people thing BaDIK only will follow Tremolo's first year of college, or we might see larger timeskips in the future (because I noticed we started to have some timeskips). Yeah, I know it could create issued with the Sage route (she's not very far from finishing college if memory serves me right), but it would still be interesting. No matter the path DPC takes, it sure would be nice to see an epilogue of sorts of Tremolo's life after college. With whomever he chooses as his love interest, of course.

As a main-Jill guy I must say, Lana's story haven't got a hold on me yet, still pretty vague to me, the only emotional moment related to that that I can remember is Jill talking to MC after their first time that they hold hands and she talks about destiny (the reference to Lana here is the moon through the window). Also when they're at the lake and they talk about music and songs Lana liked, but it's not deep enough.

About the break ups, is one of my favorite emotional moments of the game, I like the dialogues, but as I said before, I rather see a bit more of conflict even if in some specific cases only, like Jill if you pick Bella, I'd like to see Sage sad and/or mad if you pick Jill over her.

About the throuple with Jill and Bella, I gonna say it again: would ruin Jill, makes absolutely no sense for her character, it would be pure porn-logic if she joins. The only threesome possible with Jill that I somehow see happening is with Bianca if the two of them decide to "party like old times" and get enough drunk for that. And IF that happens, I really hope for a regretful and ashamed Jill afterwards. Jill is too prude to be bi or experimental with sex, she found it hard to understand when MC slaps her butt during sex scene for god sake! How quickly something has to escale (yeah, bring the meme in) for that to make sense? The other possibility is her finding out somehow that Lana was bi and experimental in sex and trying to emule her big sis, but I would also see this as a long shot.

I think Sage is the reference for the game because of her graduation, but I only see the first year and the some epilogue with your ending.

We're about halfway through the game and we're halfway through the school year, so it's more likely that the game will close with the first year of college, but I think at least at the epilogue level it will go further by having us spy on the fate of the characters

BADIK only covers MC's first year. If it were the whole college experience we'd be looking at a total of 60+ episodes done around 2080.

There are ways for graduating student characters to stick around if the story were to continue, but I expect the various endings of year one to make it clear that that was the year all the drama happened. Either you get a good end and the rest of college is a happily ever after or you get a bad end and it's living with the trauma ever after.

 

[Educifer]

I certainly prefer a more serious and dark tone to a story. Over a collection of shallow sideshows with zero depth, trying to be funny IE: Derek, Tybalt etc. I don't particularly have a high opinion of this style of writing. It's a good thing that my preferred path seems promising with the gloomy side of things.

I'd love to elaborate more about that, but I will not lower myself into the pits of simping about it though. I still have some self respect.

Derek is epic. Also I fucking love the scene in the car with Tommy mumbling jokes if Derek has fucked the old teacher.

 

[Educifer]

What if Tybalt were given some tragic backstory that explains his pathetic behav—oh wait.
Yeah he's 100% comedic relief, on top of serving as a secondary antagonist. Sage explained it pretty well, Tybalt shed his filthy commoner skin and fully embraced being a rich snob, and thankfully that pushed Sage in a different direction. I mean maybe we could get a flashback to their time as orphans to give some more detail, but as far as Tybalt is concerned it wouldn't really matter.

I think we'll only get that in Sage's branch
