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

[xtrema]

I just played through 1-8 episodes again since almost 2 years; I just did Neutral/DIK Jill run and I'm gonna also prepare my canonical Others path (first to be played once EP10 comes out) and one each for Sage and Bella. I was inspired to write this after MC's and Bella's convo about him wanting to date Jill.

I grew so much as a person in the span of those 2 years (now 23), and even though I did already, I started to like BaDIK characters even more and appreciate the beauty and heart DPC pours into creating this established world. If not for sex scenes and render gathering, I would believe you; it's not a pornographic visual novel. Going back to characters, I found that the one character who grew the most in my eyes was Bella and I realised how much I liked her after that specific conversation.

And I have no idea why. Her character is great; she has her guard up but is a really warm person and she has a great sense of humour once it's down. She is the most helpful, mature and really protective of people close to her. I get why people assume we are heading towards some twist with her husband, but for now, I cannot freaking believe it, not one bit. There is nothing in her character, aside from being cold to strangers if she doesn't trust them, that could in any way scream "I'm hiding bodies in my closet".

Yeah, it would be a great twist, but it wouldn't fit the story, in my opinion. She's just not like that. Or maybe I just am in a deep world of helo effect; god, I hope not... What do you guys think about it?

yeah i like her too and even playing the game again one thing i also noticed there is more content with bella than the other LI for starter where you will stay after the jm drama(choice bella, sage, derek) and in ep 9(bella path) she came the earliest and have more scenes even the shots jealousy one that was hilarious and i think she deserves the best costume too

Yeah but I don't see how we can get her without being on Jill's path (the Matthew cheating plot)

By Bianca not being a stupid virgin and coming at Fuckface and asking him out? She was drooling the entire time she looked at him on every path.

 

[felicemastronzo]

Aren't they more likely to meet the lawyer at their offices rather than at the Royces' private residence?

There's no reason for DPC to include Jill's campaign for her sister, including the call to Jonathan on how to publicise the campaign, if he has no plans for a future plot involving this campaign.

exactly the same reasoning applies to Jill's offer of help. in the same way asking for Burke's help has only served for now to let us know who Burke is to Sage


to me it seems a bit forced to involve a "just a friend" MC in this campaign that Jill cares about but she hasn't shared anything about so far. while MC is already involved in Maya's issue so it wouldn't be strange for him to accompany her this time too

 

[felicemastronzo]

She invited Fuckface to her recital (which she was only telling people she liked about) even if you're not on her path, if she wants a big fundraising party to start her campaign it would make sense to invite everyone she knows (even if she doesn't particularly like them). Even if the poorer students can only donate a few dollars each it's still a good start to the fundraising. I'd expect basically the full cast to be invited to the fundraiser.

the recital was a college thing anyway, and that was before an eventual decision. now MC is officially just his friend, before it could potentially have been anything.

but above all it seems quite likely to me that this campaign is Jill's wish and not her family's, especially when linked to Lana apparently being estranged from her family

and then why in order to raise money Jill would invite her very poor friends to her very rich family and their rich friends? you need people with money, not numbers, it's not a pageant

think what happens when mc got invited to the fundraiser on others path(not on jill path) and met bianca there and told her about the cheating

 

[felicemastronzo]

She invites 30 students who donate $10 each, that's $300, it's not nothing, it's also about publicity, the more people she invites to the campaign opening the more word of mouth spreads and therefore more money comes in from strangers. For example, she invites Fuckface, the campaign makes an impression on him, he tells Neil and he looks into it and is also moved to try and help, he tells all his colleagues on the building site (lets say 10 people), they then tell their families and friends (lets say another 10 people each), they then tell all their friends (another 10 each). That's already 1+10+100+1000 so 1111 people, they donate $10 each that's over $11,000 and obviously the number grows exponentially from there as word of mouth spreads further and further out.

If I was Jonathan and Jill asked for my advice on how to start a fundraiser for her campaign that's what I would advise her to do.

and for $300 you feel it's appropriate to organize it at the Royce's? I would say completely out of line to ask for the hospitality of a family if not rich, at least with a big name, for a very low profile gathering

if Jill needs the money, she needs the friends of faliglia and her parents, not her schoolmates

if on the other hand she needs attention she needs as many people as possible, in which case she may still need her family, but for them to come to her or otherwise support her and not the other way around, and MC's presence would be very forced

I'm also replaying the Bella only path. What I noticed so far (EP 6) is that in contrast to all the other main LI Bella doesn't really open up about herself to MC. Sage, Josy, Maya and Jill all tell personal stuff about themselves. For Bella we get to know stuff through the way the story is told but MC doesn't have this knowledge. Would be cool if she shared personal stuff with MC (soon) in EP10. Otherwise I dunno....this doesn't bode well.

Do people do specific MG only routes? I kinda just do my canon playthrough and try to go to specific routes as late as humanly possible.

I'm kind of a completionist, I have the manwhore route, the Bella/Sage/Jill/MJ faithful route, the Sage/Jade route, the MJ route breaking up with Jill, the Bella route breaking up with Jill, the Quinn focused route, the Riona focused route...

I even tried the virgin route

yes, I have a route for every main girl, I have my favorite route which is the tremolo manwhore. a yes, I also have a route for quinn, although I can't tell you the secret plan I have for quinn, probably the guy from Quinn's cult won't like what I have in mind.

To a Royce $300 is a cheap purse if Jill's goal is to raise the most money for her sister honor then do a community event yes students could be apart of it but the bucks that's where the money would be. Something like what the preps do just make it more fun would be best Party Planner part 3

Yes... Probably won't

Wait what, virgin run? Is it fucking possible? Is there any speedrun for that or somethin?

I'm so shocked that people run faithful runs. One of the biggest downsides of these types of games (even though BaDIK is without a doubt the best one of its kind in terms of quality) is that if you do not go for a specific girl as long as humanly possible, you won't get much content with them. And I like hanging out with characters in this game. I am already in pain because of lack of content with Maya and Josy after being rejected by them. Not because of sexual content, just content in general.

Also, how the heck do you manage all of those runs without running insane? Do you have Excel spreadsheets organised or something?

You don't end up with a double digits number of PT's without several pure runs. it's like a form of achievement hunting.


(I also did the 'virgin' run , basically just a boring dude who does and says nothing to anybody that could elicit any kind of reaction, the beige curtains of people if you will. Anyway yeah, the only woman he bonked is Zoey)

Also, how the heck do you manage all of those runs without running insane? Do you have Excel spreadsheets organised or something?

Who said anything about still being sane at the end? Also save naming - 'Bella-CHIK' you know he is a boring lemon who didn't try getting with anyone besides Bella, 'Sage-DIK' you know he fucked Jade and it awkward AF

I bought seasons 1 & 2 on steam and finished them - will the new stuff come to steam also, or will I be able to 'update' my steam game through a different download? Sorry for the dumb question.

Season 3 won't hit Steam until all four episodes of the season come out. So, you got about 2-3 more years before you see it there.

 

[Joshy92]

I still can't believe Maya & Josy think Sage is the hottest HOT
Why did they have to choose her for a possible foursome
Why couldn't they have said Riona
I tell you guys some people have very bad taste in women

Of course, I would turn down the foursome anyway
Because I only have sex with women I'm in love with

Who would want some random foursome with a big tits rehead
When there are already two beautiful women in your bed

I don't know man, why two girls who experienced a lesbian relationship will be attracted to a sensual tall redhead. it's a mystery.


Especially the sweet josy who is self-conscious about her height and just wants sage to take her in his arms and carry her, it's a mystery my good friend joshy92.

Do people do specific MG only routes? I kinda just do my canon playthrough and try to go to specific routes as late as humanly possible.

Well... i have... 21 savegames now with complete playthroughs, all different. "Faithful" routes for each girl iam interested in, for some main girl routes a different affinity... multiple "others" playthroughs on chick, dik or neutral with focus on different girls... and so on...

and yeah i made a excel sheet too for those playthroughs

Overall i have some favorite playthroughs which iam playing first if a new update is out, which are the Jill, Josy&Maya and others route.

Especially the Josy and Maya route and others route can be played in so many different ways with some nice interesting details.

Being a Dik is by far the only AVN around here with so much different little things... most other AVNs i only have 1 playthrough or maybe 2 or 3 if its worth it.
