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

[The Glorious LIME]

Hey everybody does "Broccoli" mean a Hairy Muff?

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.

 

[James H Boner]

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.

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?

 

[Ottoeight]

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).

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.

Nope.

It was worth to wait so long.

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

EDIT: While I had a chance to chat a little to DPC and OCEAN(Summer's Gone and WIAB creator), DPC really hates this site, mods and criticism later on. I was banned twice on DPC's Discord xD

Ocean on the other hand is the kind of developer that would drink a pint of beer with the fans. Ocean has another issue, he's a perfectionist, so he re-worked his games, and I mean COMPLETELY change them.
But all the drama aside, I respect them both all the same. His approach aside, DPC delivers a game that keeps me hooked, makes me laugh and is rich enough for me to warrant to play it many times over for different paths and affinities.

Only a sith deals in absolutes. There are things DPC should be criticize for but he delivers

 

[PussyDelendaEst]

Damn DPC is pretty savage, don't really understand how can you hate something that doesn't affect you in any way, besides this site is also promoting his game and it encourages people to support him even though it's a pirate website.

I play games from Ocean too, both Summer's Gone and WIAB, gems from this website and i know he is very chill with his fans, very self conscious when comes to his games content.

I would guess It's an issue of our human brains being weird. If DPC see's it as affecting him, then it does. Whether or not it's the reality or even logical. I mean without this site I wouldn't know about any of these games so I agree with you 100%. I can however imagine the stress/toll the "perceived" problems could have on someone. Legit criticism is seen as hating in someone else eyes right?

stoopid monkie brayn.

 

[xummu]

How do you get this scene? Or should I say how do you get on the Quinn path to get this scene?

Have to be on DIK path, have done Quinn's sex scenes (at MC's room and at Quinn's room) and not be on Jill's path.

 

[xummu]

Good catch!
God damn it, this game has so many well placed hidden details.

IIRC, if you get here, you can't be at the dinner date as well, correct?

Well I'll be damned, nice catch. Didn't focus on the pair myself tbh.

Actually, someone in the Reddit group pointed this out but damn at the party I even forgot about it. LOL

Since we meet both Matthew and Olivia at the dinner table before episode 9, we could have known about this affair since last year. Damn, got to watch like a hawk everything in the Halloween party now

 

[The Glorious LIME]

It's even more stupid knowing that he has an account here so he most likely visit this place from time to time and sees how appreciated his game is, hell it's one of the top games, how can you even hate that?

I play games from Ocean too, both Summer's Gone and WIAB, gems from this website and i know he is very chill with his fans, very self conscious when comes to his games content.

It is what it is. This site does promote him and garners him more fans, but most developers go on from it due to toxicity.
And seeing how they are all doing things pretty much solo, I guess I can't blame someone for deciding what eco system he needs.

At the end of the day, DPC delivers and I enjoy the product. Even if I got banned twice(not perma, I'm still there), I'll always support him and his products. Without a friend recommending me AL, and me having enjoyed AL(even more so due to the twist), I'd never have discovered this entire genre and site.

So I take DPC with the good and the bad, and as a customer, I'm still happy with the result.

 

[NebulousShooter]

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.

There was one comment with the MC with someone, I don't remember, where she said there was some people screwing if you were paying attention and I was like "Ok, I need to replay this paying more attention"
