VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.11.1] [DrPinkCake]

[dalli_x]

The story was moving faster? At the end of EP5 we are barely passed through 1(!!) week in game universe. Even if the events was intense it was just a Hell week stuff and first week in college. Which is NOTHING in terms of planned year for the whole story.

I assume that Darkwen meant the development of the story for the characters and not the time component of the story.

EP1-EP4 served to get to know the characters of the game and to make a future-oriented decision regarding the LIs with EP4. That's why it's tied to the EP4 branch.

EP5-EP8 are intended to consolidate or change the decision made by the player regarding the LIs. I assume that changing an LI between EP5 and EP8 will only have milder consequences. But in EP8 the selection of the LI is made fixed.

In Season 3, the MC's player can finally start to strengthen the relationship the MC has entered into and set the course for a future with his girl in the right direction, or he can really mess it up by cheating. In this respect, EP9 was really enlightening because the TC points were introduced and the MC may or may not collect a lot of such points during the Halloween party. Remember what Jill said in EP4. As long as the MC isn't in a committed relationship, dating other girls isn't a problem. But in EP8 we had to make a firm branch decision.

So I think for Riona's kidnapping to actually be the introduction to the Season 4 theme.

I can't confirm or deny this, and neither you. DPC can say whatever the fuck he wants to say, and it's up to individual person whether to believe him or not. I tend to belive him less and less, personally.

past experience however showed, he was more productive when he was a part time developer.
after all he did finish a game over in a year. He was able to tel a full story, with a bit more than 5000 Render, now he need 5000 render for a Halloween party night. and at the same amount of time, with more free time, and better, way better equipment than one 1080ti.

Well, I have a fair number of issues with the way DPC operates, but I haven't come across an any good reason why he'd lie about his development work yet. Literally every single bit of talk about "slacking off", "slowing down", "milking", etc. are pure speculation with no actual proof whatsoever.

As far as 5000 renders for a full AL stories vs 5000 renders for an episode of BADIK, it goes back to my same point - not all episodes are created equal. And for the same reason, not all renders are created equal. And surely you are not saying AL is as complicated and expansive a story as BADIK, right?

I looked this up on Dr. PinkCake’s Patreon blog out of curiosity.

• Episode 1 of Acting Lessons dropped May 2018.
• Ep 2, mid-May.
• Ep 3, mid-June.
• Ep 4, mid-July.
• Ep 5, mid-August.
• Ep 6, mid-September.
• Ep 7, mid-October.
• Ep 8 (final), December 2018.

Eight episodes in eight months. I know; it’s hard to imagine lately!

While Dr. PinkCake was dropping those last episodes, he was simultaneously developing Being a DIK. He completed four episodes—the entirety of Season 1—in 2019. I get why it took him longer to work on Being a DIK: more paths, mini-games, and detail.

He’s since slowed down a lot. Partly because of perfectionism, and partly to milk (and potentially lose) patrons. But that quarterly schedule shows us what he’s truly capable of.

The total size of Acting Lessons is less than 1/8th of the size of BADik at this point. Your argument is asinine.

Your right what I meant was that the story was developing faster and the relationships with characters, sometimes time moved slowly and other times it was moving faster but the point is the story made progress which is the important part

 

[Moni23]

Yeah, but every episode actually moved forward that event , and its actually started in episode 3 , the whole hell week arc. stil more than episode 9. Hell, more thing happend in episode 5, than in episode 9 .

You are right, there are no more events, there are more routes. In season 1, we all played the same playthrough with minor changes. Now the game is divided into routes with a lot of exclusive content. As a result, the game grows in width, not in length.
I think the DPC could have stayed in the 2 updates per year mode if they had left only 5 main girls available for relationships, and the rest only as a "Fuck at a party" function. Fortunately, he didn't, because I would have quit the game then.

 

[Lord Bradley]

Imagine rose petals whirling around hotel room
Leaving traces of lustful passion cocktail
Overgrown feelings manifested in bride and groom
Venus queen and Mars king under loves veil
Enchanted delight clears all feelings of doom
Natural soothness instead bolsters the sail
In vast romance ocean under moonlight loom
Couple of opposites magnetized together can never fail
On this dark night stars like fireworks boom
Letting world know beggining of a forever tale
Even time claiming us eventually will leave everlasting tomb

Had to write another poem for my lovely Nicole
English is not my first language so sorry if something looks... off.

I am argument is asinine?

Easy poke at grammar aside: Okay, Being a DIK is currently more than eight times as big as Acting Lessons. Fair. Still, eight episodes of Acting Lessons were created faster than one season 3 episode of Being a DIK; the entirety of season 1 was created faster than one season 3 episode of Being a DIK. And Dr. PinkCake is now a full-time developer with much faster processors.

So maybe there’s a valid reason for the holdup; maybe it takes a mighty long time to brainstorm new ways of torturing us mini-games. First figure out how they might fit the context of the game. then code them in Python, then shake the bugs out by playing them over and over. That could reasonably take a month per game. Meanwhile, contests for special renders so he can raise money.

Just another reason for me to hate mini-games.

I have downloaded s3 for this game how can i continue with it. As i have played s1 and s2 before but deleted them from laptop entirely so i cant import anything. Is there a way i can play all of it now

 

[Mnblpo]

In his Q&A DPC said that two of his favourite lewd scene to write were the two big anal only scenes in which MC fucks Sage and Bella in the ass for the first time, so I think this pattern will repeat in next episodes. My main candidates for ep 11 are obviously Josy and Maya, as after all the teasing during Halloween threesome I expected to see at least one of them trying it in ep10. The way I feel anal will be introduced is by a dare in the game they are playing, either by MC to both of them or more likely one daring the other. So I expect them to be all together when it happen, but I wonder if they will both try it or one will only watch the other (it would be fun if also this time Josy lets Maya try it and than bails out, or even the opposite as a revenge for the tongue piercing accident).
Another possible candidate, although I think less likely as she is not a main girl, is Lily, that hinted in a few occasions the possibility to let MC fuck her in the ass.
My very optimistic theory for anal fans is that DPC planned this season 3 as a first anal season for all main girls, even if I don't know if Jill will be ready for it by ep 12. Do you think there is that possibility or is it still to early?
So, which girls do you think will let MC inside their asses next and who would you like more having anal sex with him?

Jill will take it up the bum in the upcoming episode. She will at least try it after the tremolo guy asks her. Will it be successful, who knows

Either play through them again or download someone else's save files.

I think one of the girls Josy or Maya will be dared into anal, Josy's ass needs a good fuck by MC

I myself am not into anal whatsoever. Nor feet. But if that’s what Dr. PinkCake is into, and that’s what the fans want, what the hell; I play Being a DIK for the story, mostly.

I have known women who love anal, and would rather do that than vaginal. I don’t get it, but hey, whatever floats your boat. What’d be absolutely hilarious is if Jill turns out to be one of those girls. She reluctantly, hesitantly tries anal… and to both her and Tremolo’s surprise she absolutely loves it and cums like crazy. Suddenly the nervous virgin wants it in the ass all the time, her buttplug collection takes over the top of her dresser, and both her and Tremolo’s rooms are starting to smell wrong.

More hilarious: The first time happens in her room, Tybalt hears it all, and weeps throughout.

And now, one of Dr. PinkCake’s favorite jokes (cuz he’s used it twice now):



(In real life this triggers a whole lot of screaming and swearing.)

 

[JillybeanEnjoyer]

Anyone else feel Bianca is related to Miranda (one of Lynette's best friends)? They look pretty identical.

You say you're not a fan of anal, but then write a fan fiction.

Okay I'm sorry if this is redundant, but I could not find an answer after much searching and trying to figure this out on my own.

I am trying to unlock all the rewards in BaDIK v8.3. I found the "persistent files" linked on the front page under "Extras".

If I am reading the instructions correctly, in order to unlock all the rewards for 8.3, you just need to delete the existing persistent file in the games\saves folder and replace it with the new persistent file (after renaming to simply "persistent"). But when I open the game, nothing is different. No new rewards.

Then I saw a post that mentioned needing to change the persistent file in the "BeingaDIKSeason3-Patreon-1535311494" folder in AppData, which I also tried. Still no changes.

According to the "persistent files" post, it seems that saves have nothing to do with unlocking the rewards, but I can't figure this out. Can anyone help me? I'm not sure exactly what to ask because I don't know what's wrong. The persistent file change seems very simple so I don't know how I might have messed it up, but since nothing changes, I clearly am doing something wrong. Any advice?

I really appreciate any help in advance!

Pretty sure the Jill path is going to uncover a whole lot of Tremolo’s family members—as was sorta made implicit by the fact Jill grew up in his mom’s old house.

Because a person can be still be amused by something they don’t personally find arousing.

I agree. I didn't even notice they lived in the same house. The Steam achievement for her road is also called "Connected", so there's also that.

I think next episode will still be too early, I expect her to experiment more with blowjob and try to swallow, but as a Jill fan I would be happy to be wrong. For sure sooner or later he will ask her to try anal as he seems really in love with that ass.

I think one of the girls Josy or Maya will be dared into anal, Josy's ass needs a good fuck by MC

My hope is that the dared girl dares back the other and we get an anal threesome.
I agree with you, all the teasing Josy did can't go unpunished.

Don't know if it will be anal threesome butt I think an anal dare is in the cards
