So, I got a bit surprised going through my notifications, didn't really expected people to try my lame guess dat booty game cause I'm not one of those pesky nerds who use common sense and reason, trying to guess really obvious events if they haven't even happened yet.

For those who took a guess, I left a (y) for who got it right and a :( otherwise. Keep in mind those were not at all objective descriptions based on testable facts, but my own very subjective impressions of each of the LIs (no Quinn, Jade & co).

So, finished a DIK playthrough (with some nice choices thrown in) and almost done with the CHIK playthrough.

Well, got some things to unpack.

The music, the renders, the animation etc, are evidently all awesome. But I think I'll focus more on the story/characters.

Well, the story clearly won't have the same tone as Acting Lessons, something DPC warned us about right away. First episode in, and we're already dealing with prostitution. Where will we be in v.1.0? All the same, the characters and the dialogue in general feel quite natural and authentic.

In terms of LIs, well, you have the main one, the one MC loves no matter your playthrough, Josy. Unlike Megan, though, she spends much of the first three episodes away from MC, presumably to give the other LIs more opportunity to shine. So we really spend most of our time with Maya, who is currently the best girl imo, though it was inevitable considering how much she's fleshed out compared to the others.

The MC is probably one of my favorite on this site. It helps that he has his own face and personality instead of feeling like a self-insert, even if we still have a control on said personality with our choices. His backstory does a decent job in explaining why he'd go for multiple girls by establishing how confused he is by his own emotions. I don't really like the fact that we're supposed to side with him when it comes to the fight back then, though. The guy was on the ground and helpless. It was over when he threw the first punch, then MC decided otherwise and punched him again, and again, and again. That wasn't self-defense anymore, it was a beatdown, and he would have kept going if nobody stopped him. I do feel sympathy for him, being bullied and everyone getting away with it, but what he did was still out of line.

In terms of gameplay, the DIK system seems pretty well thought-out. The fact that what MC says depending on his DIK score makes picking the same option to see what MC says an actually interesting experience. I like being able to keep track of my choices too, especially with the phone's magnificent UI.

The mini-games are probably the one thing I would have removed entirely from the game if I were DPC. They're quite repetitive and get boring rather quickly. The fact that they're necessary to get some special events in the game, most of the money you earn in the game, and a few special renders, despite the option to turn those off, doesn't help matters. Acting Lessons didn't need any minigame. The story, characters, renders, music, were more than enough to hold the game together. The mini-games hold this game back more than anything.

Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to play 0.4, presumably next month.

3. Not sure what you makes you say she's trusting of him when she's nice to everyone and well aware of his crush on her.
What everyone... :sneaky: Who is that everyone. Have you seen Jill with anyone else beside the perv and Bella? Anyone else visited Jill in her bedroom? Do you see anyone else in that rich house even greeting Jill? Am i missing something?

1. DPC doesn't do incest
But he does siblings, step-siblings and i bet he does cousins too, dear Watson :coffee: In case you have missed these pesky little elusive easter eggs in the game :p

Don't worry bro got you covered it's from the "Wayward Cloud" apparently this film was a big hit in Taiwan :LOL:. I ain't interested in watermelons like Tybalt, but that chick was kinda thick so I looked it up.
So you knew the name of the movie from a screenshot, totally accidentally, wow :sneaky: So melon porn... say, when you figured you like this game? Which part captivated you... The fresh and juicy bits and pieces of *cough* the story? :whistle:

also should i be increasing my DIK score or decrease it, it doesn't really explain what happens if it goes up or low too much.
Certain choices are tied to certain DIK/CHIK level. If you are commited to one sometimes you are only given one choice. Girls prefer various level of commitment on these scales. Some like DIK some like CHICK options. Some are into full-on chicks and some are into full-on diks. Its a balancing act but in truth you cannot have them all so don't even try, aim for what comes naturally for you.. and then use walkthrough-mod, savescaming. The usual stuff.

Those who say that DrPinkCake doesn't do incest are absolutely correct.

But, there are already siblings in this game. And if nothing ever happens being Tybalt and Jill (assuming that they are brother and sister), incest wouldn't be in this game, would it? That goes for the other sibling pairs, as well. No sex, no incest.

Having said all that, those who have pointed out that Jill knows that Tybalt is trying to get into her panties are correct, too. It doesn't seem likely that she would put up with any of it, if she were Tybalt's sister.

EDIT: Oh yeah! Bella would certainly know if Tybalt was Jill's brother. And she would certainly react differently in her conversation with Jill about him.

Prison school
Brilliant Anime, shame it never got to do a second season... Being a DIK Prison School. Now there's a crossover I'd pay to see. Our boys DIK's in Prison with the HOT's and Bella and Jade and Cathy being the School Council/Guards. Burke as Chairman:ROFLMAO:

there's a guy who would kill for a quinn doll :sneaky:
jill doll would come with authentic hymen :love: it will be a part of deluxe package though, high class hymen only for high class people would be a slogan in DPC's shop

this whole merch thing is getting out of control :ROFLMAO: we've got some legitimate ideas now.
Oh you can get high quality dolls. Listening to a podcast with a guy who has been making and selling them for a number of years it wouldn't be hard for us to have a complete Being a DIK harem in Dolls. The only issue is they can be pretty expensive I've seen some go for 1.5k upwards to 5.7k. I'd have no problems buying a doll of main girl or side girl. Cathy, Bella and Jade sandwich here we go boys! :love:

You know speaking of Bella and her relationship with Jill. I had started to wonder if what Bella said to the MC was purely to get him on a date with herself, a scare tactic, or if she actually believes what she said? Perhaps a combination of all three? :unsure: Just want to see other peoples thoughts on this. Bella tells the MC that to get along with/closer to Jill he HAS to get along with her (making it seem that her word in some ways would even be absolute to an extent), yet things I've seen in this game kind of contradict that. While I'm sure Jill looks to Bella for advice and respects her opinion; I'm just not as convinced it was to the degree Bella made it out to be.

For one Bella hates Tybalt and has verbally told this to Jill on many occasions I'm sure. Pretty sure she's even explained in detail as to why this is the case to Jill at some point off screen as well. But none of this has stopped Jill from trusting Tybalt, befriending him, or hanging around him. :cautious: In the same respect (forgive me if Im wrong here) but I think I remember that if you don't get Bella's approval but still have enough points with Jill you can ask her out regardless and she'll accept the date. I could be wrong its hard to remember everything when you've done multiple playthroughs on various routes. lol That's not saying Jill is supposed to be a robot. Of course she's going to make her own decision like any normal young adult would, regardless of what Bella says if Jill's interested enough in an individual. :)

It also sets up the possibility of Jill finding out how close the MC has been getting with Bella I'd like to see her reaction to that would Jill be angry with them? or would she be more shocked that Bella has opened up a little to the MC.

Or maybe Melonie.
At first i thought is just the obvious pun but then i googled it and lo behold, Melonie is indeed a thing :geek: I wonder if she isn't just the slutty melon who toys with Tybalt. What if Melonie is a HOTs "agent". A slutty melon infiltrator! ..have you taken your pills today? Just asking since you sound particularly inspired... Of course i did *takes pills*
Yeah, i like Melonie.
