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

[KekWGgWP]

Quinn keeps getting included in these types of posts. I think it’s fairly safe to assume that she’s definitely a path, not just in an unofficial way. Munch on that broccoli.

She was always a path, that's why it's called Others/DIK/Quinn path.

She is one of LI.

Hey everybody does "Broccoli" mean a Hairy Muff?

 

[Afapp]

When the game dropped, I was in a fresh relationship.
For Episode 9, I have a kid that's walking and running around.
By Episode 10 she will most likely talk(with sense, and not random words she learned xD).
By Season 3's ending, I'll probably have mini conversations with her.

It's kind of hilarious if I look at the game's development time in parallel to developments in my own life xD

Yea we probably could have had Ep9 before Halloween if this and a few other useless animations were not done! I am getting more and more frustrated with how long it took to get from Ep8 to Ep9. BaDIK has become my 2nd or 3rd AVN. How to ruin a franchise.

She is, if you are going after her, she appears among the chicks you are gunning for in EP8 end.
It's just that her path is not as direct as the others. But she'll turn around.

Nope.

It's code for publicly showing affection to your partner; Quinn doesn't like to do it, it's like eating broccoli.

You're not being serious right? Penny is the one who did the full body zombie makeup and was getting nailed by the scuba diver in Jamie's room with the snorkel in her ass.

Oh yes

Even tho BaDIK is not my favorite(Summer's Gone is), I don't mind it. I enjoyed ep9, and it being the actual first episode of season 3(Interlude is an in between) I expected it to be slow and setup heavy. At the end of the day, I don't care if the game finishes in 2025. It's a fun distraction at the end of the day, nothing more. I'll continue to support since it costs me nothing and gives me back decent laughs in return. Plus, part of the game is the community here(not the echo chamber on Discord). The chats for this game here are more fun then 90% of the games on this site, lol.

What?

No, it's a metaphor that Quinn and MC have, it's like trying to eat broccoli and you dislike the taste of it, but you have to do it because it's healthy for you and you know that.

In Quinn's case, broccoli means doing romantic stuff, like kissing, holding hands and doing whatever couples do, Quinn doesn't like to do this things since she isn't used to it and makes her feel awkward, but at the same time she must do it because she likes it (but doesn't want to admit) and must get used to it all for her dear love Tremolo.

As far as I know, in Rap/HH terminology, broccoli is slang for marijuana/being completely stoned.

But for MC and Quinn, it's more of an inside joke.

I was just joking. It's funny to see all of the reactions.

Whatever you want to say about Dr Pinkcake himself, what he did in thos episode is a masterpiece. The longest freeroam, the best (absolutely best!) animations, the story, every smallest detail on the highest level. It was worth to wait so long.

Well, BaDIK at all is one of the best AVN, that's for sure. But this episode should be a masterpiece? Nah, I can't agree with that. You suggest "the longest freeroam" is a good thing. No, it's not. I understand why DPC have done this, because it's the easiest way to drench all branches together in one point and it's much easier now to go on with the story. But as a player it's annoying because you have to waste a lot of time with clicking around to get the next little piece of the story. I like freeroams. I do. But only if they're well dosed. In Ep9 it's way too much. For me Ep8 was hardly the boundary and now he breaks it.

The best animations might be. I know other AVN's with animations as good as these. But all those devs haven't the time and the financial background like DPC does. So that's something I expect from DPC. He has the time and the money to do so. Besides that it's not all that good. Many animations are too long or wasn't necissary. This genre is called Visual NOVEL. A novel is all about the story. My favourite VN is "One Day at a Time". The graphics aren't as good as in VN's like BaDIK, Summer's Gone or Chasing Sunsets. But the story is really good. So yes, we need good graphics in VN's but it's by far not the main point to rate a VN.

You mentioned the story. Well, which story? In Ep9 the story haven't really continued. We had the meeting with the Burke's, there was the thing with Zoey and a little bit Quinn/Tommy/Vinnie drama. The rest is only the drench of the branches and a little bit bonding in all relationships. Every episode before had a way more story content.

Was it worth to wait so long? This depends on how you define "worth". If I had paid 25 bucks eight months to get this I would be really pissed. 200 Bucks for this small content? Oh hell... Again: it's a visual novel not a porno movie. The content has to be the story presented with nice graphics and not some animations interrupted from some free roams and little dialogue parts.

Yes, BaDIK is a good VN to me. That's why I'm here and that's why I'm writing as much as I do the last days. But this episode is by far NOT the best episode of BaDIK. At the moment I'm unsure if it's the worst of all or the second worst. However, I don't think my opinion will interest DPC. Especially since it can't even reach him in the first place. He only goes where you lick his saliva. Criticism, no matter how fair and objective it may be, he cannot bear. He doesn't even take that criticism. Everything was different with him, but unfortunately DPC has changed a lot. His success hasn't done him any good as a person.

Hey guys, I just finished up Sex With Hitler and was wondering what I should play next, Sex With Hitler 2 or Being a DIK Episode 9? What are your thoughts?

Patted himself on the back and then announced a vacation

Well, you can find DrPinkCake in a jacuzzi with a few bottles of champagne since the release.

His patrons went from 11000 to 15000 after ep. 9 release. Let's wait for January for the aftermath count ( = how people welcomed the episode).

Hell NO.

Post-release update

The release week is over, and it went smoothly, despite some of the bugs that were found. I dare say that this was among the smoothest releases I have experienced.

Thank you all for the overwhelmingly positive response and support. It makes me happy to hear how much you enjoyed the episode. And it feels great to set up the proper start of Season 3.

At the moment, only three lesser bugs have been found since the v0.9.1 release, and unless something bigger shows up, there won't be a v0.9.2 patch. The new bug fixes will be included in the next major version, v0.10.0.

Please, keep reporting bugs and typos if you find them.

There have been many questions regarding the episode 9 walkthrough. I can announce that it will be released in January - after the eligible tiers have access to the update as usual.

What's next for me is a few days off during Christmas and New Year, but other than that, I don't see any interruptions in the game development for the moment.

I am excited to continue the development, and you can look forward to a new development cycle with polls, previews, updates, etc.

In January, there will be the annual Q&A post - yes, it is now an annual event - where you can submit questions about the game development.

Happy Holidays to all of you!

Take care of yourself during the final weeks of 2022, and I'll see you all in January with the first Status update for Episode 10 (I can't believe we're in the double digits with this one).

Love
Dr PinkCake

in all honesty, the only reason you would ever specifically say something like this is because you know there is a lot of the exact opposite happening in reality, and you want to deflect from it while reassuring as many people as you can that everything is fine and going according to plan. this just screams BS to me personally.

like the epitome of this:

 

[travelman]

Basically the biggest criticism of BaDIK is that it takes so long to release the episodes. No one would complain much about the details if it wasn't judged by "was it worth the wait" lens.
Animation looks kinda woody? Sure, but it's still nice.
Animation looks kinda woody and it took 9 months? Not worth it, shouldn't waste his time on this.
Details wouldn't matter that much if everyone was expecting episode 16 by end of 2023. They would just roll with it because game is still good.

 

[Afapp]

So he's well known? I didn't saw something like that here before. Okay, sure there are some incel posts from time to time but this massive. Shit, I really don't like trolls..

I don’t know for sure but I sounds like J.A.L.. He has returned using various aliases in the past. Antifeminism was only one of his many fine qualities.

Or you have scared away your critics with bans and censorship for daring to say you fucked up.

I agree, this episode was....decent to say the least, but it can't be compared with other episodes, the long free roaming is the biggest reason why.

And i also felt like the content was pretty short compared with other episodes, but it felt longer because of the free roam again and because everything happened only around the party while in the rest of the episodes, the story expands in other places not just one.

He may not consider the criticism from people in some random pirate website, but certainly he considers criticism from his supporters.

 

[Crepusculum]

This is the kind of attention to details that makes me question if i pay enough attention to this game.
In the images, Bella is congratulating Jill about her relationship with the MC.
On the left, Bella and MC were in a relationship and he chose Jill at the end of E8, on the right, no previous relationship
