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

[Ottoeight]

He's dumb, but he recieved those pics Arieth fucking all the diks and are they still together or again ?
Since MC's/Dereks prank with his shaker in hell week Arieth avoids him pretty much and goes after Big A and later Celeb.
I hope he isn't that dumb and just accept it.

Anything can happen. I have the feeling that the whole pregnancy affair is the way DrPinkCake decided to dismiss a whole subplot and some characters (like Mona and Cathy). Did you notice that Chad and Troy vanished from episode 9?
Some antagonists aren't useful anymore (Chad, jocks, Dawe), and here he comes in the Real Bad Guy (Vinnie).

So can someone let me know when their is a walkthrough for the EP 9 Freeroam, because im not re doing that free roam for every save.

The fanmade walkthrough used to come out before the Official one. It's a really well done walkthrough.

I agree with you, anyway. Better wait for the walkthrough.

Editing is actually a huge part of art that most people don't appreciate. You can have the greatest, coolest idea in the entire world and sometimes it just doesn't fit in the story, and it has to go. Or with episodic art like this, you do have to choose what goes where. Some lazy devs would have just cut the party in half to cut down on work and meet a deadline, which IMO ruins their art. Others would throw in literally every single thing they made cause they spent money and time on it. DPC does neither and I think it's one of his strengths as a Dev. Each episode contains an idea, or a problem and we work out way through it, just as each season contains a larger problem that we chew through. It's not perfect, but it's good to see.

People don't often realize it, but almost all visual moving art uses the exact same formula and when artists don't follow it, it's usually really hard for the audience to understand their work. Humans are basically robots that depend on rigid structure, then petty children who get upset if the artist can't disguise the structure behind a magic trick and make us forget we've heard this story before a thousand times.

I will raise the problem of psychology in your second paragraph. Yes, people generally do not see the whole picture of what is happening. Here the situation is this: people have been waiting for the development of the script for a very long time - they got a little different, the episode is almost entirely dedicated to the party. And they got angry. "How is it? We waited so long to find out about Cathy Cluck, Bella's closed door. What links Lynette and Royce, and other secrets! And we just get a party?"
Whereas a person who only yesterday discovered Being a DIK, playing all nine Episodes at once, will not notice anything. He will say: "Cool party!".
It is a matter of perception of the situation of two people who find themselves in different conditions.

Wooah, how did you get this? In ALL my playthorughs I always convinced JamJam to leave his gf, but I ended up having them together at the party, and he let Leon down.

 

[ffive]

The only save i have where ive skipped minigames and its the Others/quinn/manwhore one. And of course im no longer allowed to do all three activities, they cost 2, 2 and 5. Budget is 8. The fuck DPC?!

You can pick telling scary stories as one of the activities. And/or pick drinking competition instead of body shots. This will bring the total cost down to 6-7, so within your budget.

[The Dick]

Not the best party, the free roam takes most fun out of it, even the MC behaves like it's a chore.
I hardly see the negative reaction to the free roam as a overaction, many like the game despite free roam and minigames, not because of it.

Worst... Party... Ever...

Couldn't agree more with all you've said... And I'm not even one of those cases that like the game despite free roam and minigames, au contraire, after the setup of season 1, my favorite parts of the game in season 2 have been the parties, and I prefer sandbox games over stricto sensu VNs.

But this party was a drag...

The game started well, and the Visiting the Burkes part was really fun (at least for those on The Others path), but the party was just grind...

And, people, don't get me wrong. The formal aspects of the game are well done as always and look quite professional; the sex animations, for the most part (and when they happen), are very good. The problem with it, though, is that in other parties we had some freeroam, than action, some freeroam, than action, and so on... In this one, we had to endure everything just to have a payoff in the end... And even in The Others path, though we have three scenes, they are branched; and after you see the first one of your choice, the others feel like porn because they're not immersive anymore (in the sense you're just seeing what you've missed, like in an alternative reality)...

Besides that, I think that when played as a whole, this episode wasn't harmful, and those who'll play the entire season from Steam will enjoy it. It was for us who've been waiting that was disappointing... On the other hand, if the episode 8 was frustrating for DIKs, it was good for those who like romantic paths. This one, after the long waiting and as a standalone, runs the risk of not pleasing anyone (except those that liked the party per se)... For me, I wouldn't say it was a bad experience, but I was expecting more of it.

As for the romantic paths, I don't know why those who prefer them are not fuming, because it was kind of a non-event for them that party...

you have to choose one of them in ep8 and the other one in ep9

 

[vogelbeest]

Do you think Dawe is going to request a DNA test?

Nope, i think he will know it's not his after it's born..... So will Jacob.... lol

God, those are just tears of laughter. I'm on Bella's path right now and that was 20 minutes ago. I want to see Derek's face in Episode 10 when Bella beats Derek tricks during classes. He just told her all the secrets. Derek-Derek, such a comedic relief.

I respect that feeling, but almost all of the people complaining
1. Stole this product
2. Have no capacity to make a game themselves and thus, no idea what kind of work goes into it. It's simply entitlement.
3. Can't even point me to a game that's equivalent or a dev who does it better.

They ignore the fact that this game just gave them a dozen sex scenes, a bunch of great character development, so fun dialogue and a enjoyable few hours FOR FREE and instead focus on the fact that they didn't get what they thought should be in there. I know people like this in real life, and they are miserable assholes who are never satisfied, so they try and ruin things for others, because if they can't be happy*, no one should be.

Look how much content we just got.

*They are never happy.

Her scenes with Derek were so fucking funny, I wonder if Nick will be able to keep his mouth shut or if he'll tell the diks, poor Derek will feel so betrayed if he finds out

So This 9.1 is bugfixed. Is there a separate file or we should download the whole game again?

 

[KekWGgWP]

I didnt know DPC would screw you over like this but i guess im not really surprised.

The only save i have where ive skipped minigames and its the Others/quinn/manwhore one. And of course im no longer allowed to do all three activities, they cost 2, 2 and 5. Budget is 8. The fuck DPC?!

So the time have finally come, I need help. What variable do i change with the console open to re-enable minigames? Ill be damned if i miss out on all three for no damned good reason.

Yeah i want to know that too, the fact that the minigames aren't enabled fucked over the chances to do a good party, why did he do that though? it's so stupid.

He could have added an option to enable mini-games again when you play episode 9 at the beginning.

I don't want to spent a fuckton amount of time to a new save with mini games enabled...jesus christ DPC, is there a way to enable mini games from console while you play?

Based. I can't argue with that.
By the way, they are very similar to these feminists from the game, who are always dissatisfied with something.
But I think some of these activists will eat you alive now.

Fuck 'em. Anyone who cares about internet points is a loser IRL anyway.

I'm just here to gush about all the fun shit I just played.

In that spirit, Tara reminds me of those times when you date a girl (Maya) who's fun and hot and awesome, and they you meet her very similar in appearance younger sister who's even MORE attractive, and into you and then you're fucked, but not in the good way.

 

[Ottoeight]

It's not a "0.9 to 0.9.1" patch. Either you download the whole Season 3 or the whole episode 9 update.

 

[Crepusculum]

This may come off badly and desperate, but ill give it a go anyway.
As an entire experience, I think that this is the best AVN right now, everything is (overall) just fantastic.
It's hard for me to explain what it is in words: the characters feel genuine, the music is perfect and right where it needs to be, the renders are fantastic, its really a fantastic experience i would prefer over many "real" games.

So, to my question: does anybody else feel a sort of pit in their stomach after the content runs out or before finishing a replay (After a few months of not playing)? Assuming (hoping) that out of the thousands of people on this website, one of you is as odd as i am to get that "pit in the stomach" feeling when finishing something you really love doing (like playing this game), what do you do to deal with it?

 

[Mr. Muscles]

How does Jill react to the MC suddenly not choosing her in episode 8 for Sage? Assuming he chose to go with her instead of taking care of Sage. Honest question.

I would definitely like to fuck Tara again. It is a pity that there is no way to do this in front of everyone during the party, hiding behind her "ghost costume".
