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

[funkymonkeyjedi]

The DIK in the title is an obvious wordplay on being a dick, and catfishing. Also people would expect in an adult porn game named Being a DIK (DICK) that you could be a dick to the girls, not just to the guys. And BaDIK is probably the game where you are less of a dick to girls than in all other games. Like others wrote it's the most respectful game to women.

If you use a name like that make it at least on the level of Stifler from american pie - and not a whiteknight simulator.

Catfishing.

Just like Alpha Nu Omega (Ano = anus in spanish) which is quite fitting considering Tyballs.

I did address that, though. The thing is that would need to happen as a result of your own actions.

Let's say you can choose to hook up with girl X or not. If not she fucks someone else, gets infected and later on passes that to you. That's the only logical way of this happening and we can rule it out because it would be too NTRish to introduce into the game.

Having the game retroactively change something just because would be poor writing.

It can be far simpler, on certain route MC might turn out to have STD if he slept with, say, any of Quinn's prostitutes. Or any girl from the "others". It'll then be precisely "a result of your own action".

That it may happens on one route but not on another is irrelevant. This kind of differences between routes can happen in this kind of games. And no, before someone starts screaming, it's not "bad writing". There's no obligation for the game to allow the player metagame based on what they saw in other routes.

Deus ex machina. Just don't apply it to real life. It will only get you friendzoned.

Does fuckface have to rape some girl for you to be content in his dick behavior?

you see the game as a single story with different decisions. so all actions happen on all branches at the same time and have the same results as long as it's not branch exclusive. and each result comes immediately after a decision. you fuck someone with STD, you get STD

another way to look at it would be considering each branch as its own story. then it only has to be consistent within that branch and "same" actions on different branches don't have to have same results. you fuck someone who has STD on another branch, you don't get STD because this branch has some other shit that the branch with STD doesn't

it makes writing complicated but not necessarily bad (or maybe I'm too used to time travel and alternate universe stories)

 

[ConvertedEquis]

My game graphic quality has dropped significantly since the last timee I played. Do you guys know why that has happened and how can i fix it? (I'm not using any mods)

The usefulness of the STD in history continues to elude me.

Until now DPC has had no problem getting Cathy to take off her panties to give a blowjob all to expose a 'betrayal'. now suddenly a scientific contribution is needed.

then an MC who got something before chapter eight technically didn't cheat on anyone (and the test I don't think even reveals who you possibly contracted this STD from)

First time hearing of this issue, HOPEFULLY SOMEONE CAN HELP YOU.
Also, a hint, when asking for help, make it more visible like this.
People get stuck in the dumbest talks in this thread, so sometimes people asking for help get overlooked

What is with the obsession with std's today lol

 

[ChipLecsap]

I might agree with that if you'd have the option of getting and using condoms, but nowhere in the game do you ever get that option. So it would be seriously dick-ish to condemn you to having STDs all over the place because of reasons. That's my only qualm with the entire STD angle. It would be interesting to have that variable be something to contend with if the game mechanics would actually give you the choice of using a raincoat or not.

Which is why I will admit to be a bit confused with the introduction of STD testing. Other than the obvious of proving how much we all dream of being popular manwhores. hehe

I already explained it, here
https://f95zone.to/threads/being-a-dik-v0-9-1-dr-pinkcake.25332/post-10148679

as for why there is a variable for it, ( if there is ? , I don't know ) it's simple, DPC just wants to make the Moders life a bit harder, that's who DPC is .

honestly, I don't even know why we're talking about STDs, I just have nothing better to do than arguing about non-linear storytelling with different timelines

I don’t understand how the quality of graphics can drop if all renders and animations are processed in advance during the development process and in fact you just play pre-recorded content, the game doesn’t even have graphic settings. Can you take some screenshots so we can see what you mean?

I just PM'd him telling him to share screenshots as well
First time hearing of this issue, so more info won't hurt.

If you yell "HELP!" everybody ignores you, but if you yell "FREE!" you got their attention!

Chances are the screen resolution was lowered within the windows/linux OS itself.
For windows just right click anywhere on your desktop if you have windows7 or higher and go to display settings and you can see if the Display resolution is set to "recommended"

In Linux it may depend on Which distro you're running. But if you're asking for help about resolution chances are you're running a windows machine. As most Linux users would already know where to check for their respective distribution they're using.

But typically it should look something like this
Desktop menu > Preferences > Screen resolution.

Also make sure you're not launching the 32bit version of the game.

Yeah I'm a retard, it was the screen resolution. Thank you for pointing that out fren. And thanks everyone for trying to help.

Hard to argue against that logic

No worries, that's what this thread is here for in the first place. To help the community with news and issues.
Some lose sight of that while circle jerking in this thread.

Don't beat yourself up over that, if you knew some of the things I can pull off. I made it my life's work to do or say dumb dumb things. If you're on that path, it's because I've cleared the way already lol

I only later thought about the screen resolution, the system can sometimes throw out such "tricks" when opening games, but they beat me to it.
