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

[lewd_gamer_31415]

this is not harem game(seducer), its a dating sim game for store release , mix path gives replay value that what this game is about. don't expect something that a game doesn't tell you expect. Have you played 'acting lessons'. you expect this to be like milfy city , filf, dreams of desire ,nlt games but its not. u cannot compare a darks souls game to jrpg one, you get the reference

The biggest issue is it feels VERY forced. You have people who continually say to the MC, "It's cool if you fuck others; I don't care." Then end of episode 2, the MC goes "Well, I can no longer abide my fuckboy ways. Whom do I pick?"

Then even if you pick "no one in particular", all the girls that previously didn't care if you were screwing around now really care overnight. S1, and most of S2 Josy&Maya: "Nah, it's cool if you're with Jill/Sage/Whoever." S3 Josy&Maya: "You didn't choose us, so never look at us again."

If all the characters in S1/S2 were continually pushing the MC to make a choice and eventually stopped screwing the MC until he did choose, it would not feel so very poorly forced.

Ohh, unexpected. I downloaded the latest update, but it's got no START function, it's just chapter 9.

It's probably impractical for the game to include everything in one, but it sure would be nice to not have to go from essentially one game to another... especially since my copy of the original game is on my old PC.

Sorry, but I was just wondering, for those who have a mac or MacBook and have downloaded the compressed version, did it work for you guys? Because for some odd reason it is not working for me. If anyone knows how to solve the issue, much appreciated.

How do you start the haunted mansion?

 

[MasksDude]

Nice update/visuals but judging from the story that we got it wasnt worth the wait or the time that it took, i feel like this update was more to the "just tryna see some sex scenes and bust" rather than "we wanna see more from the story"

Cause the last update was big and we expected big things from this new update like the Adjustments for MC but instead we only got One night of party (where tbh why did it need to have so many free roams in one night and the mansion was pretty stressful) it was a bummer i thought we were gonna have a cool new arc but still loved the effort from DrPinkcake I hope next update isnt gonna take this long

One of the most controversial decisions of dev..(seal path) not giving the option to continue the harem in case of neutral path on all girls..
Until now I don't understand if it's because of wanting a faithful mc (MC asks the girls what they think about being unfaithful and makes the decision, that BS feminist)
Or if the Dev got tired, and maintaining mix paths is a lot of work..and bugs.
At the end of each (I don't know how many months now) you have an update with less encounters..(aka Fap scenes)
Because the dev thinks it's better that way..

It is better. Most people like this game because the characters aren't just empty development wise. How are you gonna tell any of the women who arent admittedly whores that you love them and want a relationship. That's not how characters with good writing and depth work. Jill and Isabella definitely aren't sticking around for that mess if you dont want their writing to go to crap. Do you think Sage isnt going to hear about how you fucked all of her sisters after you said you want to commit to her? Also you can reject getting into a relationship and hit all the side tang. Some of the best parts of the game are the developing relationships with the girls and the fuckboi game never lasts that long when feeling get involved.

Side note: there are 18 new scenes that are all pretty damn good. How many would make you feel better?

I think I'm coming to the end of the halloween party now. How much is left after?

Pretty disappointed with this episode so far. It's been one giant monotonous free-roam and I've never enjoyed those

it s the very first episode of the season. Its supposed to be set up and continuing threads.

 

[lewd_gamer_31415]

Yeah, kinda sick of free roams. I feel like the free roams earlier in S1/S2 had at least a bit of "if you do this in free roam first, thing X happens. If you do something else first, thing Y happens."

But in S3 and later in S2, they have turned into "click each room until you find all the interactables; it means almost nothing the order in which you do things".

 

[mayrrrrrain]

Anybody knows all rewards' location? And what path is Jill's <Ep9 story> reward related to?

 

[Deleted member 4541730]

Can't wait for the "Bianca finds out about the cheating and begs MC to split her ass open in revenge" arc to open up.

 

[dking239]

Can you win the shots game?

 

[Hotkillerz]

ok im lost i cant somehow start the haunted house.

 

[SlapE]

Love this game and episode 9 was great, still have a lot of paths to play-through.

 

[UnoriginalUserName]

So, potentially stupid question here, but at the end of the party I've got the optional tasks of talking to Sarah/Melanie, Finding Sally, Talking to Lily/Nicole and Talking to Quinn. I can do the Mel/Sarah and Find Sally ones just fine, but Lily/Nicole and Quinn aren't highlighting and aren't clickable, which is fucking annoying as all shit since Quinn is Best Girl.

Anyone have a solution to this by any chance? I saw it mentioned as a problem earlier in the thread like 40 pages ago but the only "solution" offered I saw wasn't actually an answer because the dude misunderstood the problem.

I also had a weird situation where going with Sage to the Haunted Basement swapped her out for Riona and Camila, blocking me from getting a Sage scene in the basement when on her path apparently.

Are these old save mod-related issues or something?


Either way, unless the Quinn and Sage scenes I missed are fucking spectacular this felt like a fucking weak update that turned the MC into a giant pussy in many ways and further forced fucking Tit-Tats Zoey back into the god damn spotlight again. This shit seriously needs a "Nope. Fuck off, bitch." option for her and for fucking Maya.

 

[Andy211]

How to fix that loop issue? Should i start ep9 from the scratch?

 

[Mamaragan]

Yeah, I think we can all agree that this episode is the worst we had.
What make it even worse, is that it took almost a year to cook an episode that has barely any content story wise.
Most of the episode is just a free roam in the DIK mansion where you babysit everyone.
The good? Being on Sage path or others path, where you get some content at least. Sage was especially hot in this episode. Loved the animations, and you can tell DPC got better compared to other episodes.

The dinner, which was one of the thing a lot wanted to see after episode 8 "fuck fuck fuck" cliffhanger, was a letdown in my opinion. The obvious happen Maya didn't get her scholarship, strangely, after she said she was with the HOTs
We also did get some answers like, who is actually pregnant, then, again, a let-down (unless DPC surprise us).

But yeah, not a good update... I hope that DPC don't get arrogant and see that this episode didn't please the players, to the point that even on reddit, where they generally suck his dick, were not happy about it. And that he actually brings back storytelling and less fucking free roam! I get that it can be good, but this time it was the whole fucking episode!

Hi, can someone here share ep6_images.rpa (S1-2) only? Always had problems downloading from websites other than mega & pixeldrain.

 

[irezawa]

any idea what 6 songs were removed?

Band called "The Friday Prophets" apparently wanted their music removed from the game. Can't check the names of those songs because I updated my copy of the old version before reading the changelog.

EDIT: Actually, you can still find them from YouTube with mentions of Being a DIK. The songs are:

Punk Rock Flu
All the Roads
Amsterdam
Seed of Doubt
Social Wreck
Guardian Angel
