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

[TrainHardnett]

so overall for the plot it is better to be Chick (in my opinion being neutral is the most limiting solution as dialogues and actions), for action to be DIK

I disagree, Neutral path lets you see pretty much everything if you so choose with the differences of M&J path. There are very few things you cannot do on Neutral affinity (go in the hot tub with the HOTs in the prep mansion and flirt with heather as well as the option to help Lily with 1 of her tasks in ep6, for everything else you are game).

 

[felicemastronzo]

economy in the BADIK universe seems to be quite deflated you can have buy windows for a big mansion for $60 and even a get a VIP stripper for $10 (probably less than minimum wage) .I am afraid DPC might make it possible to pawn your kidneys so that maya can learn feminism

the dev has updated to latest hardware so the render times are around 150% faster
so it might be sooner

from MC's reaction when he read the letter I would say that € 5000 is not a sensational figure, probably close to the value they would have in reality.

so at most it might take Maya to take time to find a solution, but I really don't like the idea that MC pays for his relationship with Maya.

until now their relationship has been bound to the HOTs and the scavenger hunt, it would be the case that it becomes freer

in terms of dialogue it is very limiting

not counting the Maya + Josy question, what is there you can do as a neutral and not as a CHICK?

being neutral is just easier but doesn't give any real advantage (apart from again Maya + Josy)

Ok so I copied the content of the patch folder and placed it into my game folder of my Being A DIK 0.5.2 version. It's not patched. Can anybody help? It isn't that hard I thought

the 5.2 is an unpacked version so you have to place the pach(update6.rpa & ep6_image.rpa) in the game folder and then unpack the rpa using unren(https://f95zone.to/threads/unren-ba...compiler-console-developer-menu-enabler.3083/)

I stand for Maya no matter what cause is the right thing to do and I honestly like her and feel for the fucked up life she got (meanwhile I'll fuck everyone else )

Actually still feel is unfair how radical feminist are represented in the game, tho I'm not from the u.s. (and afaik DPC is from Sweden?) but were I'm living the most radical ones are the coolest, they don't say the kind of bs they say in the game

the entire point of Neutral is that not everything is black or white, MC is not a huge dick or the nicest person on the planet, he is flexible to the situation, you know like a real person. Granted there are some bullshit moments that make no sense but those are writing faults to railroad the plot forward.

I do not know.

it is impossible to carry the complexity of life into a game

but if I take as a reference the "major choices" of the game, some in my opinion clearly mark who takes them, the balance between the two seems to me more a cynical question of game opportunities than of personal nature

 

[mariaskare]

isnt the guy who is stalkin quin and then punch her lookin like main from AL ? if i remember corectly he was drug addict . Another crossover like that Leah flirt before MacMiller bar ?

Chad:
You see the Jocks and Arieth, Mel and Sarah in the Gym while you pass but it's not really clear how quickly you find the changing rooms and what the others are doing in the meantime. Since all the other Jocks are about to go back to the changing rooms after you listen to a call for maybe 1 minute, it would not be shocking that the girls just got ready to leave either and that Mel is currently in the womens chaging room on that call. Or she might have excused herself and currently be in a bathroom. After all with Chad asking "did you like the gift(panties) I sent you?" the call is probably JUST starting.

So, if you're right about Mel and just leave one minute after Chad... knowing the slut Mel, she would have join Chad in the changing room instead of having a dirty phone call. That would not be a shock for Sarah because she knows about the secret and Arieth is dumb enough to don't see what's going on.

Shes over 18, she can change her life if she wants too, jesus christ you guys act like shes a child who needs protection 24/7.

THIS

She can wait till her graduation completes but no

 

[felicemastronzo]

Shes over 18, she can change her life if she wants too, jesus christ you guys act like shes a child who needs protection 24/7.

until now she needed someone (Josy, her father, Quinn, MC ...) to tell her what to do

we hope the shock of the surprise visit will unlock her

That would not be a shock for Sarah because she knows about the secret and Arieth is dumb enough to don't see what's going on.

That only accounts for the HOTs though. Technically Arieth is also stupid enough to snitch without realizing she is snitching but aside from her any of the Jocks could walk in on them. Or any other random college student that might also train there. Not really a safe place to have sex in when even 1 person seeing them could lead to Chads reputation being ruined and Mel getting kicked out of her sorority.

But as people informed me, the call clearly already started before we go to the Gym, so it can't be Mel since she would still be training while the call is ongoing.

 

[JenMistress]

Should be released on Friday when the $5 patrons get access to the update. Hopefully someone will upload after that.

I do wonder if the walkthrough will contain a guide on how to maximise the mansion repair, perhaps even say where it's best to spend points and allocate DIKs.

Agreed, that part I could use the most help with figuring out myself.

 

[Wizard_Shiryuu]

But as people informed me, the call clearly already started before we go to the Gym, so it can't be Mel since she would still be training while the call is ongoing.

And even if it didn't it would be bad writing to have Chad talking on the phone with someone in the same building considering they would have snuck out to talk in person.

 

[felicemastronzo]

every time I replay it I move to the DIK side of the force ...

the first time I put most of the blame on Maya, but playing it over and over again I realize that Columbine will have started like this

Josy in the bathroom carries out one of the worst defenses in history, asking MC to stay and discuss it after she was the first to escape.


and the next day when we meet again our loyal maggot Derek he reveals what bothered him in seeing MC with Maya






I think Tommy and Ashley are right

 

[Holy Bacchus]

Well this thread is booming after the update
ok so I did the speed run two days ago
with Jill as my main focus ignoring everyone else
so I didn't become Sage's fuck buddy
not even a single time had sex with her
and stayed with Derek this time
everything went smooth We trashed the party
after that MC cleaned the library himself automatically
but I maintained A high point relationship with Jill and Bella
After Chad breaks up with Sage she calls us
but this time the dialogue is teeny tiny different
and this time I dont call Sage in the 2nd Freeroam of Diks House
So it was all clear this time I goto the date with Jill without Sage calling us
After that comes the MacAllen's bar scene with Nicole and Sandy I went on with it
After that Josy calls and same yada yada and the episode ends

So, in summary, a pretty boring runthrough?

from MC's reaction when he read the letter I would say that € 5000 is not a sensational figure, probably close to the value they would have in reality.

so at most it might take Maya to take time to find a solution, but I really don't like the idea that MC pays for his relationship with Maya.

Remember though that a one year, VIP pass to the Pink Rose was only $10 and fixing the windows is $65, both of which are way lower than what you'd expect them to cost in the real world, so $5000 might be a lot more than it seems. Yes, the MC's reaction isn't quite what you'd expect if $5000 in this world is like $50,000 or $500,000 in the real world, but it could be the equivalent of that.

It is an issue though that, after 5 chapters of one $ denoting a certain amount of currency, DPC has now added number values to the money and thrown everything off balance. I would imagine that, given the cost of the VIP pass and windows, that it might be the case that the number value has at least 2 missing zeroes, so the pass would be $1000 and the windows $6500, which would make the $5000 he's got $500,000. If that were the case, he could easily fix the mansion, give Maya tuition money, and help Quinn out, but of course, DPC won't allow that and it will be yet another case of us not being able to do something we really could do because they want us to suffer for our choices.

the entire point of Neutral is that not everything is black or white, MC is not a huge dick or the nicest person on the planet, he is flexible to the situation, you know like a real person. Granted there are some bullshit moments that make no sense but those are writing faults to railroad the plot forward.

Neutral is a good path to be able to get lots of content with the main girls and it is a path that presents a more balanced and flexible MC, but it's frustrating for always being aligned with the CHICK path rather than being the flexible middle ground it should be by aligning with both paths. There are a few instances where it's stated you have to have Neutral or CHICK affinity to be able to something, but never Neutral or DIK affinity even though, as you say, Neutral should be the non-black and white affinity and should logically allow for certain events aligned to DIK to happen provided certain conditions are met.

For example, Quinn accepting the MC's help in Ep 6 should be one of those things that works on the Neutral path provided he took her number, used her services, won the cum-petition, and had sex with her in Ep 4. Here he's done a lot with her individually, but his flexible Neutral affinity makes him someone who has DIK-ish tendencies, if that's what Quinn likes, so there really isn't much reason why she should turn him down.

isnt the guy who is stalkin quin and then punch her lookin like main from AL ? if i remember corectly he was drug addict . Another crossover like that Leah flirt before MacMiller bar ?

No, he wasn't an addict. He was an investor, or something like that, someone who made their money on the stock market.

Shes over 18, she can change her life if she wants too, jesus christ you guys act like shes a child who needs protection 24/7.

It is easier to criticize someone without knowing someone's life without knowing what it is like to live a life like the one she is living and to be told that you are the disappointment of your family and to be reminded 24/7 by a fan religious who wants to cure his daughter of being gay

Just look at something here there are two characters that are Jill and Maya, they are polar opposites, Jill was given a car on her 18 birthday and Maya she cannot pay for her studies

At the very top-tier US universities (the majority of which are private non-profits), fees and living costs are likely to add up to around US$60,000 per year (in the US)

Considering Jill and the preps that B&R is not a shoddy university

And without forgetting that living in the bedrooms is not free either

I have 29 years old and at 18 years old I still needed the help of my parents in my college payments

Those 10$ and 65$ are minigame money. They are not the same "currency" as the 5000$.
