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

[The_Hat]

This game is really interesting, I'm not gonna lie, for a while I thought this game was overrated, but you can't make the mistake of judging without playing. I bought the game this week on Steam and I just finished the second season. I had the impression that maybe the third season will be the last. Those of you who are already playing the third season, do you also have the impression that I have or do you think there will be a fourth season? I don't mind spoilers.

I believe I read there are around 5 seasons planned, but I may be making that up. I'm sure I saw somewhere that it's longer than Acting Lessons and considering that the party planning game introduced in season 3 is set up to be something that looks like it will be used in future episodes and big parties won't happen every week, I figure this story will run for at least a year in the MC's life at college and maybe even the whole three years?

Graphics are still average at best. The picture is too flat. The game uses low-poly models, there is no normal lighting and shading. As I understand DAZ has no ambient occlusion and texture maps like in Substance Painter or other 3D programs which makes renders look too flat and uninteresting.

You should replace your monochrome CRT monitor.

Same pls help!!

so you have to read the same answers we gave him

based on how long it has taken DPC to tell the story of the first semester, if he plans to go the entire college life of the mc..we will all be old and grey by the time he gets there..some of us older probably will be ded long before that time too

What? What link? I don't want to post links to my artstation here.

The Cheating Points I collect on all my saves, kissing Riona and telling Josy I think about her all the time.

I just cant leave Josy without it xD

It's been DPC's well publicized plan since pretty much from the very beginning to have 4 seasons, so whatever impression you had, it's not quite correct.

American Pie if it was a game (Probably not a very original assesment but hey)
Idk why I put off this game for so long, it's great.
Very well written, with a fun plot from start to (current) end.
Deep (that's what she said) thought out characters with a consistent main story, not just a bunch of loose (...) ideas meshed together like some games.
Good english and no second hand cringe from the writing or MCs behavior.
The renders might not be the best, but they are good enough.
Choices that actually affect the story (even if not by that much, but then VN), no too overbloated scenes (even if there are fillers).
Good UI (tho sometimes hard to click stuff in freeroam), without unnecessary weirdness. Good performance and zero bugs.
A ton of content with probably at least some replayability.
Even the minigames aren't annoying.

And the music, it's freakin great.

All in all deffo in top 10 / top 5 pgames I've played. Better than many regular games.
Great job!


Oh. And the game is pretty based on some controversial topics, while not reading like a 4chan thread at the same time. Def an added bonus.

I may be assuming too much, but wouldn't it make sense that the gameplay focuses primarily in the first year of Fuckface at college? I mean... One of the MGs (Sage) is in her graduation year after all. What will happen with her character after graduating, especially in those scenarios in which she is not the chosen girl by the MC.

She might find a job in the finance department of the college or since she is not in a hurry to find a job do a postgraduation course or complementional course like psychology for human resources.

It is my own idea. Too complicated and basically useless a longer cycle. Then why not all five years? What about work? And marriage?

After DPC finish BaDik, he will introduce his next game. BaDik The Second Semester.

Joke aside, the idea of a full college experience is sound good on paper, but it's clear it's not a job for a one Man Army. and Some characters goes while new ones show up that could shake things up.
But unlikely it goes beyond MC's second year. We know Xmas will happen, and I fully expect at least Spring Break, as major events.
everything beyond that, only he knows. He mentioned something briefly about knowing the necessary Time Jumps he need to achieve what he want.
Me personally never look beyond the next episode, I enjoy the ride, even if I more critical nowadays. But even Episode 9 grown on me a bit more, than in my first experience, while Interlude I dislike a bit or lot more

 

[Lightaces]

Damn, the clown series is pure cancer. What a waste of resources and time.

It probably took him all of an hour to pose them, given his output, and not more than a day and a half to render them, if that, given his equipment.

So I finished the game up to season 2, is there a way i can salvage Jill's route in season 3 because i was dissapointed to find out that there was no choice for her towards the end, i have gone through that recital torned because i knew the MC have to let go of bella. The next day after that recital, elena made the MC choose who he wants and i chose bella because there was no option for jill only sage, bella and others. In the epilogue jill saw bella and the mc together and was devastated, i think she has fallen for the MC.

For context: I started the game a massive dik and began slowly transition to neutral when maya and josy rejected MC in episode 3. I did the date with jill, always told the truth to her, did not go for cathy in the car, fought for her and help her in the recital, i can't remember the other scenes with her but i am pretty sure i got all of them except meeting her friends and her shower scene because i was still in dik status. i am hoping that choosing bella or "others" can have still a route for her.

 

[Nultron]

Started playing this about a week ago and finished my final playthrough of episode 9 (got a playthrough for each major relationship) and now I gotta wait? Can't imagine what you guys have been going through.

 

[NoobMaster30678]

Game crash after few conversation.(No mod install)

 

[larcnciel002]

As far as we know there's no route back on to Jill if she wasn't an option at the end of ep 8.

Did you go on the picnic with her or did you help Sage when she was sick? Also you said you slowly transitioned to neutral, did you get all the way to neutral or still have slight DIK affinity?

I'm sorry i think i got it mixed up, i went back to my save file and saw that i have permanent NEUTRAL AFFINITY and 9 DIK STATUS. I am positive that i went on a picnic with jill and remember skipping helping sage when she was sick.


I am hoping that i can still pursue so jill when i decide to play season 3. apparently there is only one episode out and 2 is still in production. I guess i have to stick to isabella for now, i will be so sad if isabella is using the MC to as a substitute for her husband because i suspect that shes still hung up with her late husband and i dont know much about her past.

Which date you went with her? If it was only at the tennis club, you also have to go to another date when Sage is sick (it's an option you have to do). If you don't go to that date, Jill becomes a no-no to you (not exactly because of the date, but because she has to think about the MC at night and masturbate, though the impression we're left is she dumps the MC because he chose Sage over her... Yeah... I know it's clumsy...). You also have to kiss Jill when you sleep at Isabella's (and at the Tennis Club, but I bet you already did it). Other than that, I have no idea why you didn't get the Jill option... She prefers chicks (MC chicks, not girls, ye know)... But I think only at the end (when you have to meet Jill at the shopping, during her showdown to Thybalt) you can't be a dick (well... I think you also have to go to meet her, otherwise Jill becomes a no-no too). I've seen somewhere that you have to be chick at the beginning of the episode 6, but I quite remember having the Jill option when I was playing as neutral...

I remember the MC kissing her or tried to kiss her in the tennis date. As for when sage was sick i think it was the picnic that i chose. I did not know that jill has masturbation scene. I also know that i was always polite when conversing with Thybalt. The impression that i got from sage is that MC and sage were only fuck buddies, and i was actually surprised that sage was really cool about when i chose bella in the end even though i wanted jill. There is no way i will get chick affinity in episode 6

also: i have permanent NEUTRAL AFFINITY and 9 DIK STATUS around episode 7, honestly i dont know which impacts more, affinity or status

 

[larcnciel002]

From what's in season 3 so far the only way Jill is an option if not chosen is when Bella is chosen over her, but that only appears to be the case when she's an option at the end of ep 8.

We don't know if James is still alive and if he will come back into the story and if he is alive and coming back what Bella will do if she's in a relationship with Fuckface.

There's so much time between episodes that there's no reason why you can't set up multiple routes. You mentioned transitioning to Neutral from DIK because Maya and Josy rejected you in ep 4, you could start a new game to get Jill, start a new game to get Maya and Josy, have a new game to get Sage and another one for all the side girls if you want and you'll still have waiting time before ep 10 comes out.

Damn, i hope its not. Oh well, i will stick to Bella for now because i am still interested in her story and what will go in season 3.

I honestly dont want to start a new game just because i got invested in MC's story and his mistakes. Funnily enough, when i started this game i was skipping dialogue just for a quick wank. then in episode 3, i remembered someone in the story getting emotional, so i got curious and go back to my previous saves just to understand how they felt and i got invested in them, and i realise that I or the MC was a piece of shit. so i went forward with the story that MC was rejected by maya and josy. Now I am fast forwarding sex scenes just so i can understand and read the dialogue faster.
