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

[katzenstreu]

in general the strong scenes were with Bella, Riona, Quinn, Nora, Cathy

the cathy scene is awesome for sure.

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

I have a really good memory, but it’s not that good; I have an app that transcribes everything we say, and then I edit out all the “uhs” and “ums” and sentence fragments. Then I email it to ReallyNotTina, who inevitably finds fault with something I report she said… but I have a transcript! But I don’t want to annoy her unnecessarily, so fine; I don’t mind deleting it.

She picked Sage because Sage is my favorite. And no it’s not because I have a thing for gingers (and I willingly confess I do); I like Sage’s attitude. ReallyNotTina shares a lot of her take-no-bullshit sensibility. Without the rage issues.

She doesn’t look like Sage at all. She’s petite, 5 feet 2, naturally curly strawberry-blonde hair, freckles all over, cute as hell, and makes me laugh harder than anyone ever has. I hit the jackpot with her. So you can see why I don’t wanna irritate her!

I see they have a lot in common, lucky you anyway. And a gamer girl who shares your interests and, moreover, plays the games you love, especially since AVNs are really the best option. This is a damn long text about your runs together, but I enjoy reading it.

All the scenes with the girls are pretty good, except the start of the Quinn scene if you help her out when she gets mugged. That one could use a rework.

I'm not including Madam in that, I haven't ever run those scenes not even in the gallery. I don't play the minigames so I give the VIP money to the DiK's for the mansion fixes because that seems more in-character for the moment, even for a DiK run-through.

The problem with lewd animations in BaDIK is that they are very slow for the most part. Lacks passion. Plus, some unnatural ones. When the MC simply moves the pelvic part during sex, the rest of the body is absolutely static. DAZ is not very convenient for creating animations, but it can still be done with some pain and I have seen much better sex animations in other games.
And DPC ignores the voice acting of sex; he could have at least added moans, making it more lively. So mostly sex in BaDIK is 3/5 and DPC can't do it like they do it on Discovery Channel.

Son of bitch

 

[Ray_D]

So Sage is a basic bitch is what your saying. Poor Sage lucky for me Josy scene's are always a mix of passion,desire and romance

All I see is boring and basic attempt to troll. But I'm not in a mood for stupid waifu wars now. Josy scene was also 3/5 in Ep. 10 and in general the strong scenes were with Bella, Riona, Quinn, Nora, Cathy was the most passionate. The rest are generally average. Blame DPC for being lazy.

Notice I didn't do anything this time. It's all on Darkwen. But I won't dive in.

Hi all, I used one of the loaded saves from the forum and unlocked all scenes. But now the name shows up as "Stevan" in the replays, how do I change the name in the replays? I changed it in the phone but doesn't seem to affect the replays, thanks.

This is for episodes 9 and 10 btw and I installed sancho mod. The big gold yellow title still says "Stevan." I wouldn't mind going into the code and changing things but I'm not sure where to look

 

[NewTricks]

Does anybody know who this girl in front of MC is? I think she may be the blue-eyed girl in the ghoul costume who MC talked to about his relationships in Derek's bar in the Others path. I don't have any evidence of that other than the fact that she was talking to the yellow-eyed chick on the far left, who the ghoul girl posed with in the Halloween pics.

I pretty much agree with your assessment of the quality of the sex scenes.

I would guess that this is one of the by-products of being a one-man show. Apparently other games do it better - I've played them. So DPC hasn't talked to those guys about how they do it or hired any of them. If he's doing well on Patreon, he also doesn't have any financial incentive to make them better. I'm not saying he won't or that he doesn't have any pride in his work, just that the financial incentive isn't there. He makes plenty of cash doing what he's been doing. So I don't expect the sex scenes to improve much.

As a 3/5 - which I agree with - they're serviceable and better than a lot of stuff out there. But that's not a very high bar, most of the indie games produced are really bad or basic with sex scenes.

I think that's a problem a lot of 3D animation porn suffers from. It takes a lot of time to make it look natural, hence why you have so many animations out there where, for example, a chick rides a guy, while the guy in question lies there all corpse-like doing jack shit. Nobody wants to put in the effort. Things are getting better, but we ain't really there yet.

Yeah, and that's why he's doing all his animations at 60fps now. Even one of the most mediocre scenes (like Sage in the tent) looks and feels better than any Sage scene before it.
Yes, the tent scene is short and doesn't have many poses, but it still looks smoother and prettier than any 30fps scene.
Right now, the scene with Bella is the best in the game by a wide margin. In second place is Nora. Third place can be given to any scene you like.
Sure, there were some weird scenes in ep10. Like the scene with Maya where her buttocks were bouncing really weird. But I'll take that as inexperience with that frame rate.
I'm generally sure that the animations in ep11 will be much better. 60fps really transforms the game. DAZ is certainly not a professional program for animations, it has a lot of disadvantages, but even so animations from ep10 are better than any animations from other games on this site.
If the scenes just get longer, with more poses and still keep the frame rate. Oh boys, we'll have to get the napkins ready!

I hope this message finds you well. I am here to assist you in your endeavor. To resolve the issue, you will need to modify the persistent.name variable. I recommend enabling the development console to make the process more user-friendly. You can achieve this by using the following program. To enable the developer console, copy it into the game’s files, not the game directory. Once you’ve done that, open the game and choose the ‘Enable Console and Developer Menu’ option. This will allow you to access the console in-game.


Once the developer console is enabled, you can open it in-game by pressing “Shift+O”. To change your name, type in

persistent.name = "Your Name"

Please note that there may be other nicknames set. For example, to change Josy’s name for you, type in

persistent.mc_josy = "Your Name"

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

It worked! Thank you so much!

He can do better, as he did in some scenes. Lily in Ep.7 and Cathy are just fire and he pays attention to some scenes. The thing is the amount of content he makes - a lot, I don’t know anyone who could make half an hour of animations and 6000 renders for an update in a year. So he rushes things and the quality suffers as a result. This is often visible, such as harsh shadows, meaning he didn't adjust the lighting. It's all because of quantity.
In my opinion, it would be better if he removed the useless scenes with Madame, the plot thread with Nora is not needed at all (just why?) and focused on increasing the quality with less content. It would be less stressful, he wouldn't have to rush too much and focus on quality.
But DPC has such an ego, if I had written this advice on his Discord, I would have received an immediate ban.

60 FPS in games is always better than 30, any gamer knows this. But is this necessary for BaDIK? The eirdest decision that brings nothing but smoothness to the scenes, as I wrote above, it would be better if he worked on the scenes quality.
It also means twice as many frames for GPU processing. That is, he unleashed RTX 4090 power on this.

Josy/Maya or Josy or Maya, they have interesting story arcs, especially can the three of them stick together or will one of them give in due to jealousy? or someone wants more attention, it will be interesting.

It will be interesting to see how the rest of the season plays out since there is strong belief Josy and Maya will break up, we already seen some jealousy in 9 if you have spend more time with one of the girls

I don’t do ultimatums in relationships. So if one of the girls demands my MC choose one of them over the other, fine—I’m not choosing the one who made the ultimatum. And if it’s both who say, “You have to choose,” fine—it’s neither.

I think we have 6 different storylines regarding Josy & Maya:

A scenario: MC is a friend, he told Derek he still has feeling for Josy and talks to her about it --> consequences: Josy is starting to think that she should have chosen MC over Maya.

B scenario: MC is a friend, he told Derek he still has feeling for Maya and talks to her about it --> consequences: Maya is starting to think that she should have chosen MC over Josy.

C scenario: throuple relationship and MC is favouring Josy over Maya --> consequences: Josy is starting to think that she feels more comfortable when she is alone with MC.

D scenario: throuple relationship and MC is favouring Maya over Josy --> consequences: Maya is starting to think that she feels more comfortable when she is alone with MC.

E scenario: MC started the throuple relationship but he broke up with them and chose Jill/Bella/Sage/Others. I'd call it: "the ultimate retarded asshole scenario". I'm not playing it, of course.

F scenario: we are perfectly balancing the throuple relationship ---> consequences: dunno, I'm not playing it. I'd call it: "seriously, you gotta walk on a thin line like an acrobat, bro".

missed one after B, where MC doesn't have feelings for either

By the way, remember DPС in one of the status updates saying that one of lewd scenes is a plot scene. Which scene do you think he was talking about?
I only have two possibilities.
1) It's Nora, because MC can only choose one option, which is to cum inside.
2) And it's Bella, because then she talked about her husband being missing.

E: you can't pick "others" being on Throuple and/or Jill paths, MC tied to both so much, that he can't consider that he isn't into a relationships at that moment.

F: nothing complicated, so far, just pick "a-b-a-b" or "b-a-b-a", that's all. The question is - will it help or DPC is just fucking with us and leading us as far as possible to make a tough choice later, muuuuch later.

C & D: Favouring one of them over the other one while being in Throuple is a much more asshole scenario than breaking up with them. Just absolutely and pure asshole move. "We are all in this, bla, bla, bla... and then, ups sorry, but I like J or M more, let's stay friends, ok?"

Pure solo from the "others" branch is the only honest and right way to get one of them solo if you so want to. You hadn't lead them, they both know that their own relationship is going south. So the only thing is to deal with consequences. Picking solo Maya will ultimately devastate Josy, worse than breaking up with Throuple, while Maya may take it better, not much, but still better.

Imo, the most asshole move, like a champ one: Play as a manwhore, fuck all that moves, pick feelings for Josy, confess her you still have feelings for her and... boom, after she talked to Maya: "I haven't promised you anything, sweet girl". Same for Maya. That's fucking nuts.

Seriously, DPC written them so and put in such circumstances, that picking one of them will always feel about the same as saving Megan or Melissa in AL. Still a fucking tragedy, but w/o deaths.

Scenario E - while definitely not my favorite - is interesting. You'll get, well I can spoil it for you if you want:

DPC said several times that no harem ending will be implemented and possible. It's a potential for cheating and temptations, but nothing more. How it may and will develop and end is a question. But all those "tc" points and other stuff are not for nothing. It's an interesting arc, but I don't expect any happy end from it. Cheating never ends well. Check Acting Lessons and how MC ends up in such case.

 

[znar25]

No doubt. But once you have them build you Emma from Hillside, you’re never gonna want a human woman again.

Now there is an idea. A cross over episode where Emma visits a DiK party and gets passed around....and it is on camera! Win! Win!

Nothing more? I don't agree with that at all. I also never said it would run its course all the way until the end.
