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

[Tserriednich'sNen]

to all the experts out there, when we can expect the next update roughly ?

Probably mid-late October

Not really, they could easily make him a soldier who's just MIA, with the assumption to be KIA and i get the feeling that's the route the dev is planning for Bella's husband, especially since we've seen the military boots in the locked room. I expect these forums to explode once he returns and Bella starts neglecting the MC.

I take it for granted that it happens. and if it happens towards the end of the game I also doubt that it's a solvable problem.
I don't see a happy ending with Bella without forcing the plot

and if that were the case it would be the same, if not worse, than letting her die in a fire

 

[felicemastronzo]

Regarding Bella's mysterious hubby who may or may not return? He is an asshole.

He has to be. Because if he is not. If he is a sort of victim well that would put us Bella pursuers in an impossible position, or i should say in a position that is pure guilt tripping. Imagine if Tybalt would be an absolutely blast of a cool kid. A nice, smooth, funny, loving caring individual who really would want the best for Jill and all. How would that feel. It would suck.

One way or the other, the competition has to be easily dislikable. Otherwise its a very uncomfortable, awkard situation. Not something you necessarily want your players to endure extensively. It kills the fun. Japanese level of drama about absolute hopelesness with an unavoidable bad ending. It would suck.

So in my mind, Bella's side of competition whom we believe to be her mysterious James.. simply must be someone who we can easily condemn and with good reasons. He cannot be a hero. If he is.. he has to die or be dead already.

normally yes, it is

but already in BADIK, whoever is interested in Josy or Maya, individually, must compete with a "good person", who somehow will have to throw out of a relationship, for now, happy.

for DPC the more drama the better.

Stuck in version 5.0.2 at "I wanna check out the Cluck that Jill posted." I go look at the post and I am still stuck with the same statement repeating. Is some variable supposed to flip to let me get beyond that point?

Nevermind. I had to click on the Cluck then post a response. Once I did that I could get past that screen

Have you replied to the post ?

Lol, so true. Dev even posted a warning before playing the game that there might be some sad things going to happen. Knowing his desire to crush his fans' heart in AL, I am scare what will happen at the end of DIK.

It's a choice based game, everything is forced.

 

[ItsNotMeToo]

Been playing a more DIK-ish type of MC, I like how the game causes me to feel more for the current girl I'm with and wanting to forget about the others... then move onto the next one and fall for her instead lol.
Gotta say tho, as a DIK...

what do you mean?

the only one who can force the plot is DPC, our choices have a very relative weight

I consider it a happy ending, if in the end we can consider that there is a stable relationship, possibly not clandestine

and to make possible a happy ending with Bella there is a lot to force (by DPC).

she is about ten years older than MC, and it is the minor problem
she is married, husband and marriage need to be settled
she is a teacher, will Bella have to leave her job? will she be fired?

and this without giving weight to the thousand theories, which in any case will bring additional drama and difficulties

Trying to find a discussion on this in this thread is nigh on impossible. Forgive me if it's been discussed.

My main save is Jill/Bella because I didn't like the Maya/Josy dirty pool. Although, the MC overreacted I think. Just finished my second playthrough and decided to focus on Maya/Josy. Things going well until the very end. See spoiler.

Technically Maya and Josy share the same list. Speculating but by the point you see the list you should have either fucked Maya or Josy at the prep party. They both blow you.

Your right though there isn’t proof of this. Still it’s fair to presume most of those sex acts will get covered by the threesome.

Correct, but then why isn't the blowjob crossed off if they are counting the prep party? What proof is there from the prep party? The implication here is that one of them fucked another dude and that's earth shattering for the MC on this save. What am I missing? Or is this a writing oversight?

if they can't prove it it's like they haven't, I don't think Quinn takes their word for it.

so either they actually have evidence of what they did with MC, even if nothing was shown to us (bah .. it would seem odd to me), or they did it with others (it would be a twist thrown at random, I would say impossible), or have already marked them on the list because they are not a problem, when necessary they will take the necessary photos

do you have a screenshot of the list?

 

[Everilld]

Guys I can'y get lily scene in mansion (Ep. 5) I'm following walkthrough and in the moment when I am supposed to click on her to start scene I just can't click on her. Did I do somwthing wrong in erlier episodes?

I tried to go back to the list for a screenshot, but I'm too far advanced in my save. Sorry.

I don't know why they would mark something off the list early. That would defeat the purpose of planning to me. Yes, the threesome and outdoor sex tacitly implies "fucked a guy", but there is no reason to mark that off (while leaving threesome and outdoors unmarked) unless one of them already has. Something isn't adding up here.

 

[Cigar-Ferras]

I'm getting server error trying to post the list screen. I'll try again in a bit unless someone else does it.

No, it sounds like a bug. Try to load an automatic save and try again.

Well in my save, they were both saying that they would cheat, either by using porn or dildos, so maybe they managed to edit a porn video to make it look believable ?

same for me, however I have the list here in front

let's say that the way in which the different activities are marked is strange, it almost seems to be the ruling of the sheet

the lines are not perfectly above the affected ones and there is also a graphic error where the last line goes on Maya's finger ....

they explicitly say that only the most difficult tasks are left to do (public sex, threesome, blowjob?!? and buy 10 packs of condoms!?!?! ??!?!?)

 

[felicemastronzo]

but they also say it proved much more difficult than they thought.

it could be as you say

It's not an oversight. 'Fuck a guy' is only crossed off if the MC 'helps' Maya back in Episode 4 Episode 3. If you left her hanging, the list is longer.


So it seems like Maya and Josy have decided the video she shot of the lewd scene is sufficient to convince Quinn that Maya fucked the MC.
