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

[_Azrael_]

I do hope that the next episode comes soon. DPC is awesome at story telling. I played Dik before Acting Lessons and oh boy what that a quick in the balls! Completly different stories....but hey...Dik is not yet finished but i hope it doesn't have such a heavy take like AL. The characters are funny and all have their special traits...and some of the parts does take me back several years when i was in university (drinking games are allways quite fun right?). Quinn, or as i call her "The Queen Bitch" is a evil yet lovable character to be around. Camilla is quite a sexbomb and Sage...well..she is red so that is allways self explaining! Maya and Josy are cute and sweet....i'm happy that my first ending was with both of them. Isabella is the hot woman in the campus that anyone would love to get their hands on. Jill is fun but honestly a bit dull for me...at least for now but who knows! What about Derek? That one is hillarious...the gender equality classes are some have some of the best comedies moments i saw in VN's!

Dik is not only a click, click, click and get to the "fun part" game. It's enjoyable reading it...knowing the characters and having some laughs. See you guys at the end of Hell's Week!

I couldn't agree more. Every character have something to contribute to the main story, and all of them have it's own particularities. The girls aren't just mere sex objects that trown themselves to the MC, and that's always a sign of good writing.

Yes...that's just it. If it wasn't good writing there would be no need to play this for just the sex scenes. After playing both DPC games i can honestly tell that he is a top writer. His two games are excellent. Having said that...DPC please don't take DiK in the same dark path as AL....a man's heart can only take so much!

waiting for season 2

I think we are pretty safe - a writer doesn't just want to repeat himself again. The warning at the start of BaDIK indicates some dark turns, but I'll venture it won't come close to something like AL. AL was dark from the beginning, BaDIK not so much.

Compare the lead up to the main story in the two cases:
- Get shot in a store v draw dick faces in a store
- Go into a coma v go to uni
- People coming to doors looking for a new "home" to stay

In AL they show up looking like this:

In BaDIK, we look for new homes like this...

So, yeah, the tone of the two stories are very different

Those are indeed fair points!

So just to clarify what will I need to do in order to play the update on release date if I have a modded save?

Get all new clean saves. If you used the scrappy mod and made saves with it, they don't work on a clean version.

how about with compressed version and unren to get money. does that will work ?

I suspect that any modification to the code, whether by scrappy's mod or manually changing it using unren, will affect the update. Best just to get a clean version of the game to ease any and all doubts, then once you get the update, copy the whole thing so you'll have a clean version for ep 6.

how long should I wait for this fucking update? quarantine was the perfect time to release season 2, but rendering a couple of animations takes 2+ months. very cool

Are u trolling here if so don't bother ....

And to clarify why it takes so long he is doing 3 seperates path ways so he needs to make plenty of content each episode for all those path ways...

Gues ur new with this game... Caus this game always took a bit of time... But with this 3 pathway it takes even a bit longer

And also he works on it alone … Were many other dev have a team behind them...

So just relax and wait paitently for the release

Are you serious rn OK I have memory losses because of my disease but do you know how much work you need to put to make a one render? And last episode had 2k+ and more than 100 animations and do you know that your pc needs to render it for you to have a final image we can wait just wait like all of us you sounded like Tybalt

ok maybe should play new game again. thanks a lot

2456 renders and 157 animations, to be exact, not "a couple".

DPC works to their own schedule, they're not going to rush an update just because you need fap material during a pandemic.

 

[barbatoscloud]

No, adding money through the console won't break saves. If your game works now and isn't modded you are safe.

i think i ll add new game in my save just in case that wont work

 

[Simon66666]

Guys I have a really stupid question how much of you see the scene where crab queen is fucking some dude on dorm room and some dude is peeking through the keyhole? It's just for a research purpose

For the most part I agree, though being less dark than Acting Lessons is a very low bar to clear.

That said, I do worry we are letting where we WANT the story to go cloud our judgement over where it will go. The narrative digressions about Bella and doors in Episode 3 are certainly ominous, and there's no shortage of other topics that could take a grim turn if DPC wanted them to.

I don't expect anything as crazy as, say, Maya to accidentally gun down Jill when Quinn finally drives her over the edge. But I could definitely see things like Maya being forced to withdraw from college and stuck under her father's thumb, or Sage taking the fall to protect the HOTs. Things that, even if we could avoid some of them, would still leave a very bittersweet taste when all is said and done.

Really, it comes down to whether this is a genuine lighthearted farce, or if it's only pretending to be one to amplify the shock when the real world intrudes on our fun. I'm certainly hoping for the former, but I can't rule out the latter until we get much closer to the ending.

What if I'm only using Unren?

 

[Holy Bacchus]

What if I'm only using Unren?

No idea. I'd imagine that any any manual alteration to points, money, affinity, etc, will affect the game but can't say for sure. Probably best just to get a clean version and make some clean saves to be better safe than sorry.

Very first message. That's what I call making a triumpahnt entrance.
