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

[Crusader of Romance]

I keep getting exception errors just simply starting a new game.

At first I thought it must be the scrappyMod associated error, so I did a complete uninstall and reinstalled, booted up only the base game. Before it even reaches the first choice to choose whether or not I even want to play the mini-games it throws up an Exception Error. I hit Ignore, and it lets me continue, but this Exception Error continues popping up for literally every choice that comes up, including choosing what to name my character.

The game didn't do this before, at least not so persistently, was there any bug fixes that just hasn't made it to Steam yet?

No, it should all be up to date. That's really weird.

 

[Crusader of Romance]

any release date yet?

Nope.

I dunno what's the 'ick' with free roams some people seem to have. Is it because you just want to masturbate so non-lewd parts of the game in general bore you? Is it because you spam-click to progress as fast as possible and then can't figure out what to do in these free roams? Is it because you don't like parties and would rather sit cooped up in Maya's dorm instead and watch some movie? Just curious, not trying to judge.

So far we had only 5 parties right?
Preps with HOT's
HOT's with Alphas
Dorm party
Halloween party
Thanksgiving party

So which of these parties above you free roam haters didn't like and why?

There's nothing inherently wrong with free roams. What I didn't like is Episode 9's Halloween party. Especially during replays you'll notice how drawn-out it is. That's not to say that free roams are at fault, it's that the entire episode is just one big free roam which isn't ideal in a visual novel. Episode 9 is filled with content but despite all of that it'll remain known as one of the weakest episodes and biggest letdowns amongst the community because it's repetitive.

 

[saynotoNTR]

You don't and it's kinda the point. You never know what a choice will result in. If it was all predictable, how fun would that be?

It seems we're on opposite ends here, bub. I enjoy the unknown variables we may trigger or not trigger but you hate them.

I just think it's kind of shitty to lock away content behind something that doesn't give the player any indication of what content might be. When you first played the game and Tommy introduced you to the idea of the Haunted Basement, did you think, "Hmm, I could take Sage down to the basement and have sex with her..."?

I'm sure you didn't. The lack of a callsign is what makes me mad.

You're missing the party when Cathy's picture was leaked. I think that was the first one.

I can agree that putting a Sage sex scene in there wasn't very smart. Like you said, it's impossible to predict.
But the rest are consequences of your decisions.

I like the free roam sections. They break up the traditional format keeping me engaged. Adding the quick navigation menu was a big win. I've played other AVNs that were straight VNs & I get so bored just clicking through that I eventually just skip through until I hit a major event. Whether it's a sex scene or a choice. But I lose interest.

I don't like sandbox games. But I like most of the elements of BAD. Maybe it's because it's the first AVN I've ever played that my tolerance is high for game mechanics that turn me off with other games. Maybe it's the quality. No clue. This game has so many variables & variations of different scenes. I doubt I've seen half the content.

 

[Hentai_Desu-ka?]

No, it should all be up to date. That's really weird.

Yeah it is weird. I just deleted the folder after uninstalling, maybe there was something left behind that didn't get cleaned and so a complete fresh reinstall might fix that.

 

[Mordreut]

What was the alternative?

I keep hearing this but never saw it confirmed, so I checked the status updates and polls leading up to Episode 7. The closest I saw was an animation poll where groping and titty sucking won, and what a coincidence! Those are Madame's first two lewds
But when he released Madame Rose's wallpapers, he only said she's "someone new", with no reference to her creation or whatever. So I guess in a roundabout way the patrons did vote for Madame Rose
But personally?

My memory (which could be wrong of course), was that their was a poll about the extra content & a character, but no mention of who that character was or would be, just the content. Then 'Voila' madam appears.

Yeah all the poll says is that the winning options will be featured in the episode, and that's all. Could've easily been for any of the established big-boobied women in the game, like Bella, or Sage, or existing Pink Rose girls like Brandi or Sandy, but nooooooooooooo, we had to get a whole new character

First of all, my main and only source about Madame's origins is f95zone
The version I have read at least twice was:
- DPC creates a poll about what kinks his patreon would like to see in BaDIK
- The winner was the option "mature women"
- Next episode, Madame appears for the first time

I'm going to ask Santa for a Christmas miracle: Madame Rose falls down an empty elevator shaft filled with spikes

I will add one thousand poisonous snakes, just to be sure

Is there somebody thats good at doing PMV ? like i want to make some of Bella but i dont know how to start, witch program etc.. anybody that know how to start?

You can try here: Being A DIK: Fan Art

My guess is january release and then the next eps at the end of the year since dpc has learned how much longer the renders take to do

I didn't hate any free roam the first time I played it. The problem is when you have played them for the third time and your eyes start to bleed. For example, the Halloween party, even in the most optimized path until episode 8, you have to play it AT LEAST five times (Jill, Bella, Sage, J&M and Others) and this is really annoying

I can agree that putting a Sage sex scene in there wasn't very smart. Like you said, it's impossible to predict.
But the rest are consequences of your decisions.

I agree with you, but DPC should add some hints.

In the Italian region of Veneto all heterosexual men and lesbian women agree to the slogan "WE LOVE MONA"...

Do bisexual men and bisexual women hate Mona in Veneto?

He's a fucking tease, that's why. If she does not turn into a real character, I will burn this place to the ground

You're going to destroy F95 servers with fire, but first we must have a poll to choose a single thread to be backed up before the arson (BaD and AL can't be saved, of course... )

Remind me about the Carolyn thing, that was just a fan thing right? Because I checked the code and neither name are in the first two seasons (beyond that one mention of a possibly unrelated Gina in Episode 5), she is just an unnamed character until Episode 9.

Carolyn was born here:

https://f95zone.to/threads/being-a-dik-v0-10-1-drpinkcake.25332/post-7763185​

And that was because the user Carolyn was using her face as their avatar for so long, it just fit, since at that time we didn't know her name.

Sancho's mod even included an option to rename Gina to Carolyn.

Spoiler: But that was back when Carolyn was a real cutie...

Someone mentioned it to me a while back and I had a hard time buying that anybody actually likes Madame Rose. From further questioning, I found out that the person was referring to a poll where people voted for more "fetish and MILF content". There really isn't a poll where anyone would've explicitly voted for more Madame.

I don't have issues with them, but I can understand people who find then annoying - starting with season 3 and 5 different paths, you have to replay the event 5 different times

I think quality of the game would remain the same if free roam events were regular scenes, with different variables depending on choices, but to each his own I guess

I found the addition of this Yoga Girl in EP.10 very strange. She doesn't even have any lines, why did the DPC only add her now? She is deadly gorgeous. She should have been added earlier, she could easily compete with the main girls.

I think the simple answer is, he wanted a Yoga scene and instead of creating a new character he thought it would be better to use one he already created. Same as with Micha when Rusty needed a LI.

She has a line. She askes where she knows the MC from if you swiped her on Swyper.

Another example of how DPC is not clear with things and not just choices in the game. Whoever voted for this option clearly expected to see more Jade, Cathy, Nora, Nicole... even Tania... Not some Madame fuckin' Rose!

Looks like DPC already decided to introduce Madame and just let his patreon choose what kind of lewd act she was going to perform.

But just asking for what kind of act they wanted without mentioning a new character, he somehow tricked them in thinking "hey we chose her".

Something like an illusory choice in a magic show.
