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

[Alphaeboy]

Again, attention to small details in the game. At the moment, we are considering two renders with the same situation, but different choices made by the player.
How Sage reacts when you pick Zoey in the top 3 for a costume contest.

First scenario. The chosen path is Others. Sage already knows that Zoey is MC's ex-girlfriend (thanks Derek), but since you and Sage are just friends, her reaction is positive and she continues to smile, keeping her spirits up.

Second scenario. The chosen path is Sage. And she's your girlfriend now. She is a little confused, no smile, and a shadow of doubt is written on her face. I think Sage has a lot of thoughts in her head right now, "why did MC invite her." Even the dialogue has changed, it's an ellipsis before she finishes the question. Sage didn't make a scene of jealousy, but she would remember that.

Another amazing moment showing the immersiveness and liveliness of the BaDIK world. And as always, these moments are not easy to spot. So if anyone sees it, please upload it.

Tbh: I for a while figured that Sage would of been Jealous of Zoey in some way. Don't forget she got out of relationship where she was really cheated on & was scared to take a risk with dating MC. I feel like there will be more reactions like this in the future with all the main girls.

Mostly, I see Sage & Jill being more threaten by Zoey.

Jill would be feeling a big type of way especially being nervous about not being experienced in the bedroom & then you have Zoey who pretty fucked him regular basis going back in life confusing him somewhat.

But, The thing Sage & Jill got over Zoey is that MC never Zoey about how he felt about his birthdays.

Only he tells Sage or Jill about it but always Sage if your not on Jill path.

 

[ReeseQian]

Yeah, and Jacob is the father

Or Nick is the Father...

( I am playing again and I am on EP6 Now without skipping this time.. Before I used skip till I stop to see Sage or Jill lol )

im definetly new here my first dl was an apk insted of windows

 

[LMMFAO]

I hope we get some good comedy bits about Arieth trying to find out who the father is after it turns out not to be Dawe.

 

[OFT]

Yeah, in the world of BaDIK, same surnames can only be used by relatives.

Considering you can be called "Fuckface" and the game uniquely acknowledges it, why did DPC get all serious when it comes to a surname?

Sage: "Yeah? That would make you "Fuckface Fuckface". Stop fucking around."​

mc :"Yeah it's so silly isn't it Sage, not like "Fuckface Smith", not silly at all. "​

It would have been better if the mc could say all those surnames, and Sage responded something like this:

Sage: "Tailor... Aren't you two... fucking? So you've been giving it to your own sister?"​

​

mc: "For fuck's sake Sage, not everyone with the same surname is related!"​

​

Sage: "So you are fucking her then... good to know... "​

mc: "Ahh you sneaky bitch! "​

​

Sage: "Ahaha! "​

​

or

​

Sage: "Burke?! Really? So you've been fucking your mom and your sister?! "​

​

mc: "What?! No! I mean, you know I'm not related to you or your mom!"​

​

Sage: "Hang on, you have been fucking my mom? "​

​

mc: "Oh shit..."​

​

And then we know where that leads to.

Brother, you don't know the half of it.

That 2nd render happens in any path, except J&M path

That made me giggle x3 you could have just said "That 2nd render happens in most paths, just not J&M's" I don't know. Saying the render happens in "any" path means that it happens in every path, including J&M's. Sorry for nitpicking >.<

No.

 

[NewTricks]

Wait how did you know?

I don't, to be honest. Just an educated guess or a parody of the development schedule depending on how you look at it.

 

[typicallord]

is anyone able to play the mac version? for me it just says i cant open the file

 

[LMMFAO]

I would say we won't be getting anymore Interludes for this game. But seeing as DPC likes to piss off and annoy his fan base, it might just happen.

 

[NewTricks]

I have to say that I don't mind hunting for the special renders but the story special renders are a pain in my ass. The only reason I found them at all is because I played through the update six times. It took three playthroughs to even realize where to look for them. It had been so long since I played the interlude I forgot that they had escaped the free roam at some point and were now residing in random story cgs.

Hopefully the story renders aren't a common theme going forward with the rest of the game.

yah, got it, thought saying "any...except" was kind of clear, english is not my main

I think some Devs use sandbox/point & click/render hunting, to keep you playing for much longer than you normally would.

I bet if you took out the sandbox/point & clicking/hunting for renders etc, the game would probably be way shorter than it is now.

I wish they could add a skip function to the sandbox portions (especially if you plan on replaying a game like this more than once) after you complete the game, anyways.

 

[Roundell]

why can't DPC be like Yuno Gasai ?
these are the most beautiful sky-blue eyes,a look that melts my heart,
the most beautiful wavy black hair that flutters in the wind.
this is a masterpiece.

put this in being a dik,
instead of a banana jill,and I'll forget all the rest

DPC should hire Yuno Gasai at least for the rewards. They would be real rewards.

Also, DPC should get rid of the 2D drawings. Idea for modders: create a mod to remove the 2D drawings of the frames of the wall of MC's study and to put amazing images like this one instead.

Status update Episode 10

Happy New Year!

It's 2023, and time for the first Status update for Episode 10.

I have been focusing on posing and rendering animations. You'll be happy to know that my PCs haven't been idle for a single day since beta testing started in early December.

It's been tricky to keep everything going during release weeks, Christmas and New Year, but I did it. And thus, I've got a nice head start on the animations for episode 10.

I have posed 85 animations, of which 37 are complete.

209 static renders are done, so there is some progress in this area.

I have been writing dialogue and working on the episode layout. My main dialogue files are roughly 5300 lines long. Compared to episode 9, this is roughly 20% of the episode.

I'm still planning the episode, adding events, and creating its structure. I'm aiming for a smaller episode than episode 9, and time will tell if I can do that.

Reaching the 5000 render milestone for a single episode was insane. Episode 9 alone could be compared to the entirety of Acting Lessons. It's been easy to add more and more scenes and renders when the game's cast is this big, and I want the spotlight to shine on as many characters as possible in every episode. But with the Halloween episode done, I can limit myself a bit with this next episode.

I can already tell from the events I've put in the episode layout that plenty of story and lewd scenes are to be had. I have decided on the girls getting lewd scenes in this episode, but I left some wiggle room if I feel something more is needed.

There will be plenty of new mini-games in this episode. I love creating them, and I developed several alongside episode 9 development last year. I have planned a couple of mini-games but have yet to create them. They aren't on the same scale as the party planner mini-game, but I think you will enjoy them even so. I'll likely tease you some of it during development without spoiling too much.

I'm looking forward to this development cycle! Right now, I'm battling a cold. I will rest for a few days and hope it will pass soon.

I'll post a Q&A post where you can submit your questions about development soon.

The walkthrough will be updated soon, too - it's about 95 pages long for Interlude and Episode 9 alone.

You can also look forward to fresh polls for episode 10 in January.

I hope this makes you as excited as I am. Have a nice weekend and a great start to the year!

What happens if Zoey wins the competition and MC is in Sage's path? Any different reaction to other paths?
