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

[NebulousShooter]

and thats exactly one of the things i love about the game... cause first of all, it shows that DPC has mapped out most of the things from start to finish. Not exactly where and when those decisions will trigger the consequences, but that they will at one point, thats for sure. So yeah... everything matters. Which is annoying for some, and huge plus for others. To me thats a HUGE plus.

I have a real hard time dealing with AVNs around here where choices dont matter at all. Especially if you are given choices all the time and all of them are pretty much pointless until you have been asked "wanna fuck?" it gets... BORING very fast. And there is zero reason to play those games more than one time.

I agree that its mostly cool, but it also very easy to overdue it, when you get asked to pick your favorite color between blue and red in ep 1 and get game over in ep 15 for picking the 'wrong' color. People used to meme that Maya's question when you grab a coffee with her in ep 1 will come back to bite you in the ass, they did came back in the gender studies question in a later episode ,but were meaningless overall, but the concept people were making fun of its this one.

Artemis the VN has a lot of these little things, that come to bite you in the ass and after 5 episodes makes you realize that you have to go back and make 100% focused saves, because even dreaming about someone else, or missing a phone call, makes you miss content 3 episodes later.

Like I said, its a cool concept but extremely easy to misuse and when it fails to deliver it makes the player feel like shit. The more content you have to go back and remake saves the more chances there are the player will just say fuck it and just drop the game entirely. Most AVN players only ever play their one save that they come back and continue in each update.

And, for goodness sake, the fact that to be able to train in a real gym the MC have to had trained ON HIS FUCKING PHONE three episodes ago...

yeah thats a little strange.... BUT. here the player has to get "immersed" kinda bit... to understand, the brawler game on the phone is no "game on the phone"

Yeah its very strange how DPC handled it. But in it own kinda way... it made sense, cause in Brawler Season 1-2 you face actual characters out of the game. And the fighting stats in season 1-2 on the brawler game are the same stats used for the ACTUAL fights in the game too. On easy mode you win every fight easy... but on hard mode? Without 4 points in every stats? Good luck beating tommy. With that it mind, it made sense to carry over the stats, well, 1 bonus point each that is.

But i agree, DPC should have handled that way better. Lets say... everyone should start with same stats in ep10, no matter what your stats out of Season 1-2 showed. I get the feeling that DPC might add that in a update.

I wanted to know why the fight app doesn't appear for me, would anyone know the answer?

Phone mini-games are also disabled if you chose to play without mini games at the start of season 1

Exactly this.

This concept is vastly overdue IMHO in Being a Dik.

(And, by the way, in Acting Lessons there are plenty of pseudo choices, like no matter how you treat the psychopath nurse you just CAN'T ditch her --- so why on Earth DPC bother us with FAKE choices multiple times?!?)

How strange because I had to play some minigames during these saves...

 

[gabriel07]

Anyone knows how to restart the entire game from scratch? I feel like I downloaded with mod and now my game keeps crashing at the point where the lights go out during the halloween party.
Playing on mac using Renpy by the way

This is a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation, some people like the role playing aspect and making every single choice matter, others just want a linear porn story with plenty of content to jerk off to.
Can't please everyone, but with DPC's popularity so far, he's probably doing something right.

Can someone help me?

Ah and there is a little thing... you should add, Most AVN players on F95 only ever play their one save that they come back and continue in each update.

Cause... and this is something not many know or notice and i learned only a year ago. F95 is not the mainplatform for being a dik anymore. Not even close. And most players who are playing being a dik without being a user on F95 are VERY different about the game than the average F95 user. I was stunned at the point where i noticed that... most players of being a dik doesnt even KNOW about F95.

The players on F95 and on other platforms are VERY different from each other, especially in the approach to the game... its really strange, but it is what it is. The F95 user is not the average being a dik player.

Can someone post a picture of what the unlocked gallery for episode 10 looks like? I just want a hint as to what scenes I'm missing, not unlocking it straight away.

 

[joypinse]

no Jade Scene in this Update so waiting another year i guess ;(

 

[ZenoMod]

I get the feeling that DPC might add that in a update.

If I know the guy, he won't.

1) These time bombs are in his style

2) He would rather lose all his patrons than admit that something is improvable in his holy plan

3) besides his hardcore patrons after having payed for development something like 6k dollars each in a ten year span and downloaded the official release can always come here and download the cheat mods to fix DPC's most unpopular design choices

So I don't see any drive for him to change his mind

cause your game is screwed up about something... its not the brawler game that is missing, its every minigame shuffle and triple tile are gone too if you didnt notice.

My guess... did you used a mod, in the past or whenever, or used a modded savegame? Dont answer... cause the answer is yes.

*edit* sorry... of course *faceplam* well... you have turned off the minigames at the start of the playthrough, and there is no turning them on again.

Aren't they randomized? My board looked nothing like that.

Or maybe he chosed to disable the minigames in the very beginning menu?

(Or loaded from an unmodded save but with minigames disabled)

If so, he could enable console then give the command:

minigames=True

(Case sensitive)

Yeah... DPC is not the one to change or question his decisions, thats true.

 

[blaackstarr]

you have to spend them? You will get 2 points for the first win, another 2 if you beat him again. And you have to decide where to spend them of course.

Otherwise... there is something wrong with your game or savegame, ever used mods? if so.... i dont bother with those and those errors occur soley because of them.

No mods. It says skill point plus 1 but it upgrades a skill automatically and doesn't let me choose.
