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

[hsaIV]

So the MC's mom lived in the house Jill later grew up in?

 

[Ottoeight]

Not today

It should be.

Actually, Bella's dead baby theory is a good one.

The basic idea is that James left after after a miscarriage/died in childbirth. Which would be a huge stressor on a marriage.

So the locked room is a nursery Bella keeps locked up. The stress of losing a child broke them up. That would explain why she keeps talking about James as if he's alive, he didn't just go out for a pack of smokes and kept going.

It would also explain why Jill and Bella are BFFs, they went to a support group together, since Jill also lost her sister. It would also explain why those two are so tight, despite differing personalities.

Although in general this theory is "normal" and is supported by logical conclusions and what this leads to in real life. BUT... I don't expect to see anything very "dark" or "crazy" in this game. AL was initially more gloomy and about the lives of people which already took place in life, adult people. BADIK - about the life of teenagers, college, fraternities, first love, etc. Stories with dead children and other things would be too contrasting and would bring us back to the mood and scenery of AL. I think it was some kind of tragic event with Bella, but still more simple and lighter than death of her newborn child. Even rape or something similar is perceived somewhat easier than the death of newborn children and other gloomy things. The way she "gradually" gives MC access to herself and constantly talks about the pace, not allowing MC to "insert" his cock into herself for several weeks, this is very similar to the behavior of a rape victim who experiences fear, distrust, and so on to the men. Jill's words - that Bella always speaks unflatteringly about guys and that MC was an exception also gives some hints. Judging by her past, Bella had nothing against the guys, was a party girl in college, naughty with her husband.

Is that really what Jade says to the MC?

I'm reading from your post that this only happens if the MC is or has had an affair with Jade. This is a DIK move, so I conclude so that the DIK MC is just like all the other men. He doesn't stand out from the crowd and is therefore ordinary.

The opposite conclusion would then be that CHICK MC is not like all men and therefore something special.

As I have written many times before, what matters is not how many girls the MC fucks, but how many girls want to fuck the MC.

It becomes clear if the MC was good and is a CHICK, so that the chosen LI will fulfill her CHICK MC's every wish because he is unique at B&R, something special. Not entirely true, we read the one in EP8 so that the MC can authenticate himself with JB. But through Elena, JB has threesome sex with different girls. Elena fulfills JB's wishes. The only problem is so that JB doesn't get checked out by other girls like the MC. This could lead to interesting situations in the relationships between the MC and his chosen LI. I'm thinking of anal sex with Jill, Josy and Maya, as well as threesome and/or foursome sex.

How about Neutral? And speaking about the CHICK MCs and people around... We recently got Joshy92, we expected him to be a classic romantic cheesy pussy, and how it turned out?! Just suddenly, out of nowhere! He want to eat cum! doesn't matter his own or someone else's! He want to play snowballs! How do you like such a romantic and a snowflake?

Bella's husband James is currently in prison for murder. He's up for parole and will be lurking around. Since MC is too retarded to ask about the husband... James waits to bash his head with a baseball bat once he exits Bella's home.

OMFG!
You're more of a DIK than I am, how could you!?

Just for clarification, no one has a painting done of a dead newborn. The hidden painting in Bella's locked room is clearly of a child of at least 4-7 years old. Which suggest that Bella and James lived happily as a normal family with child. But again, I stress, no one has a painting done of a newborn of what the child "might" look like a few years later.

I have my own theories about why James left, but I won't bore anyone with it. All that to say, the newborn birthing death and the miscarriage theories are simply a no-go. It doesn't even make "a little" sense, it makes zero sense.

Although in general this theory is "normal" and is supported by logical conclusions and what this leads to in real life. BUT... I don't expect to see anything very "dark" or "crazy" in this game. AL was initially more gloomy and about the lives of people which already took place in life, adult people.

I get your point of view, and I personally fully expect DPC to throw us a major curve ball at some point just like he did in AL. The difference here with BaDIK and AL, AL was a much shorter story than what we have here. BaDIK has a much more elaborate setup, and for DPC to take such a calculated story line, I am 100% convinced we're going to have a rather impactful moral choice to make later on. On this, I have zero doubts.

I also suspect that Tommy is trying to make a good impression on Josy's father. Possibly with some false sense of nobility to his own mother. And I suspect it's because Tommy realizes he's a delinquent ass hole who's most likely about to flunk college. And I think he's trying to play the "I'm a good guy" card and not appear to be such a failed son to his new father. Who really knows what his true motivations are to get so bent out of shape about Josy's well being. Is it legitimate or is there something more he's trying to establish within his new family.

I think to myself so that Tommy's biological father is a huge asshole. He will not have treated Tommy and his mother well. In Pete, Monica will have found a good husband and Tommy a good stepfather. Tommy doesn't want to lose that and he will like it too so that his mother is happy.

Tommy is Tommy and I think to myself that he's overdoing the big brother role because he doesn't want to lose this new family. His mother is happy and Tommy will also be happy with his stepfather Pete. But there was that nail polish incident that triggered everything.

In fact, it can be interpreted as a manifesto of a new way of thinking.
A kind of liberation from the framework of moral and ethical norms and restrictions rooted at the psychological level.
After all, if you look at this question through the prism of philosophy, then Is this not true - "Liberté, égalité, fraternité"?!
It doesn't matter whose sperm, is yours or someone else's, everyone is equal and everything is allowed.
From this point of view, Joshy can appear as a Prophet of a new ethics.
Bullshit?
Of course yes.
But to the same extent as most of the philosophical trends.

All right, here we go. It's time for the final status update for episode 10.

Special Announcement
Today, I'm pleased to announce a collaboration with a punk rock band named Dirty Toy Company.



Dirty Toy Company has graciously provided songs for Being a DIK, and their song "Over the Horizon" will be the title song of Being a DIK - Season 3 going forward.

With a punk rock sound, full of heavy and melodic riffs with attitude, I'm proud to shine a spotlight on them in the game and have them elevate it with their music.

On top of "Over the Horizon", you will also hear their songs "Stand and Fight" and "Burn You Down" in the game - starting Episode 10.

Please show our new Maggot brothers a warm welcome to the DIK family.

You can support them by giving them a follow or stream on Spotify - all their social media links can be found

Beta testing
Beta testing started this week. Testers and proofreader are hard at work.

Bugs and typos are being found and fixed, and they have an extensive checklist of things to test.

It's too early to say how things are going, as they've only had their hands on the episode for a couple of days and have just scratched the surface.

Patch information
The full game .zip file (v0.10.0) will be roughly 12 GB and the patch hovers around 5 GB.

The patch will only work on v0.9.0/v0.9.1 releases - meaning that if you only have episode Interlude, you must download the full version.

If you don't know how to patch or if this will be your first Patreon release, I'd recommend downloading the full version, with episode 10, when it releases.

If you are patching, make backup copies of your game before patching. Never patch Season 1 & 2 with Season 3 files. Doing this will corrupt your game. Treat Season 3 as a separate game, and you will avoid these problems.

Preliminary Changelog v0.10.0
I only listed the new content in this section. The full changelog will be included in the release.

-- Changelog v0.10.0 --

Added Episode 10 that includes

5868 renders

335 animations

8 2D-art pieces

4 2D-art animations

31 songs

65 sound effects

Regarding the release date announcement
As this was the final status update for episode 10, my next communication with you will be the release date announcement. It will be a December release, and I will be able to announce the date sometime this month, so stay tuned for it.



Thanks for your tremendous support and interest during this development cycle!

Big or small donations, you guys who stick with me throughout these development cycles are the MVPs.

I hope you will enjoy the upcoming episode.

Love

Damn bro, no matter how elaborate your theories can be, I always enjoy reading them. You keep giving me awesome material for my own project. lol

But I think Tommy and Josy's relationship is much simpler than all that. But before this, I'd just like to examine one particular point. I do not think that Josy had lost her father's attention. What I got from her story in ep4 when MC visits her before she runs away. Josy mentions how Monica always defended Tommy over Josy, she doesn't feel like Monica feels anything for her because of this. It is Josy that has a problem with her father and not the other way around. Also Josy chose to live with her father over her natural mother. But she's feeling conflicted and misinterprets her fathers position with apathy. When we find out later on that is not even close to being true with the scene during the prep party in the parking lot with Peter.

And that is my main reason why I dislike Josy, she's just as impulsive with her jumping to conclusions without merits. Even though she takes mature actions (by making the choice to just go to college without telling anyone) she's still very immature morally and emotionally. When you think that her emotional baggage only stem from her mother having cheated on Peter. She hasn't suffered any other emotional traumas to speak of. She comes across as "daddy's little princess spoiled brat" that needs all the attention for herself from daddy and anyone be damned!

I don't think Josy has any more depth than just that. She's quite shallow in fact. With the MC in her life she is discovering emotional maturity and will grow from there. But her character is mostly superficial. In this aspect, even though I'd gladly push Maya off a speeding train, Maya has more depth than Josy.
