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

[Jumbi]

After my first playthrough (DIK affinity, Others' branch, focused on Quinn), these are my initial thoughts on the episode. Avoid the parts in spoiler if you haven't played at least one complete playthrough of this episode 10.


For starters, I've really liked the introductory backstory for the episode, regarding the personal drama around the Baileys. It's been very interesting to see that actually it was Helen the original religious half of the couple and that as time passed and her condition worsened, it was despair that made her lose faith and then it was her husband that started to look for replies where reason can't reach. I'm pleased to see that the doc still knows how to deliver when it comes to touching, but not so evident stuff.


After that lovely introduction, it soon starts appearing not so good elements, IMHO. Non lewd animations are mostly not good, like that of Zoey at the start or Quinn sarcastically clapping hands at the diner. They are unnecessary and neither do they look good enough.


The overall tone of the episode has felt quite gloomy to me in my first playthrough, quite in consonance with the part of the year the events in the episode happen.


As for the specifics of this first playthrough of mine, well, it's been bittersweet. Spoilers ahead, do not read if you haven't completed your first Quinn run yet.

Overall, I've liked it. But as I said, it feels gloomy. Anyway, it's time for me to keep playing other branches. Happy gaming.

Gotta Fuck Em All

There is pretty much no path id dont play... it doesnt matter anywas, cause its mainplot, those dont change... i dont know how the epilogue dont make a sense to you cause... fuck... there is just nothing that CANT make sense its clear as daylight what is happenig.

look, I played the last episodes with a modd, and now my saves are corrupted jeje, I playing the jill path, and after deciding the food and drinks of the party in the ep 10 the main character go to sleep, when he wake up he has 3 messages one is by jill, and when I open that message the game show an error, and I am searching for someone who has the same bug and nobody has it, its frustrated do you know what to do?

I like Jacob and would be happy for him to get a girl my mc isn't chasing. Zoey was a great candidate as they had mutual interests, as i've literally no interest in her and there seemed like it was a nice signposted flag(for zoey pursuers to pick to avoid it). Curious why she's going to be carrying on hanging round in non romance path too.

Well dont know anymore about Jacob... until Ep7 i liked him... maybe even the most out of all DIKs. But that has changed a lot. Nearly everytime MC tells him a story, no matter what, he doesnt believe him... MC can help him score with a girl (blonde, short hair, forgot the name) in the HOT mansion party in ep 7... so there is that, but he quickly forget about that and now he is chasing after MCs-Ex in an instant. Well... *shrug* enough is enough buddy. I dont have that much intereset in Zoey, she screwed up with going to san diego. But Jacob should get it together. And he is even doubting MC only cause of some pictures... which btw, were taken WAY before MC even attended college "You are with us right?" go fuck yourself... after all what the MC did with and for the diks, no matter which route you go, asking that... while he himself, tommy, nick are acting way more suspicious. Jacob rushed down the latter very much in my book. John Boy and Leon are Top-DIKs for now... (of course Derek too, he is off limits anyway, no need to rank him... simply best guy)

So no... he can score another pussy, he doesnt mean it serious anyways, and even if i dont like Zoey that much, she deserves somebody better than Jacob.

a lot of people have problems with freeroam 1, but for you I think you just have to go to the main party room and click on Sage

Hi.
I`m stuck at cleaning mansion. i finished everything and talked with everyone

make sure you cleaned all the rooms just in case. not only the 5 the task recommends. see if that helps. Check if you did the tasks on your table as well, tried to open the black box and feed your fish.

Done Others/ M&J runs and now trying to get the motivation to go thru all those fucking freeroam sections on Bella/Jill/Jade runs. DPC is a sadistic *@#!

bro do you have a save for jill path? I need it ep10 please

 

[WangSmacker]

Can someone just drop a save for season 10? Not sure why getting saves transferred requires me to download more things.

Good luck with that mate...
Feel free to share it if you find it. ( The motivation.)

 

[Tefy]

He probably thinks the animations add to the cinematic feel, and judging by this episode he clearly doesn't want to be associated only with porn.
My only hope at this point is for him to figure out how to optimize development.
You're right, this episode is huge. It's a real miracle that it came out in 12 months, no artist I know of is capable of delivering that kind of volume in that amount of time.
I actually really enjoyed the episode, it's very emotional and heavy and I'm looking forward to the first update already to find out his plans for ep11. Hopefully we'll be lucky and he'll be able to publish the first status update this year.
I just remember his first status update.




It will just give us an understanding of what ep11 development will be like. Everything he said about ep10 back in the first status update turned out to be true. Except for the fact that he failed and couldn't keep up with the 5k renders

hi bro, do you can pass me the save, i need to play the ep 10, and my saves doesnt work, i dont know why

I tried this already. but on phone tasks is empty

My Jill save is like way back before the crucial choice cos I picked everyone else over her
Gonna take a while to get to this Season lol.

As usual, I like the story and the visuals. But. BUTT. What a shame this game's sandbox is so clunky and counterintuitive. You get like 4 to 5 tasks at times and have to keep using your phone to read them after I don't know how many wrong clicks.

The game joins the rest of games that claim to give the player freedom of choice but there's no such thing, in actuality.

And the minigames, don't get me started on those. Who's got time for them? I'm guessing not that many people who actually have an adult life.

And by the love of all that is holy, why did you join the derp army of "click the sexual position you wanna see next"? And to add salt to the wound, the dialogue during sex scenes is so sterile. Pun intended.

I noticed that about the sex scenes too. It seems as the game ages, dialogue (or writing in general during sex scenes) diminishes. Seems he is spending so much time in animations these days, that he forgets it's a visual NOVEL. Not just visual.

JB is giving us the Elena Pussy-pass. Like JB said, Sharing is caring.

okey mate thanks

 

[haunsa]

some of the test tasks being legit impossible is not good i think there are some issues with mini games directions

 

[Deleted member 2093814]

okey mate thanks

There's saves here: https://f95zone.to/threads/being-a-dik-v0-10-0-dr-pinkcake.25332/post-5618683 for start of S10.

Can someone just drop a save for season 10? Not sure why getting saves transferred requires me to download more things.

if you want to have no problem with ep 10, I will give this one advice. Instead of downloading the patch, download the full season 3 file. the 12gb one. After that. If you are having problems with your saves. Dont just ask for a clean save for season 10, you also have to delete all modded saves from both "saves" folders. The on that is inside the game folder, and the other that is in roaming/appdata/renpy/beingadik10.0.

Even if you try to play a clean save but you have other modded saves in your folder the game will crash on you.
