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

[michael1984]

According to some of the dev's comments, the game may well have up to 20 episodes and we are just right at the beginning of the story near the end of 2nd week at college.

Trust me i been here since episode 1 i know all of that already... Just saying that there are plenty of loose ends to cover on the long lenght there is still left..

20 episodes is a stretch tho ... So far what we know 3 seasons are confirmed depending how many episodes there will be each seasons it will be probally around 12 episode if he keeps up with 4 ep per seasons


But on a story stand point he has enough material to cover alot more then 3 seasons

But looking at a personal standpoint and the long work time it takes since he works on it alone will he get bored or tired after 3 seasons it will stop at that...

Lets hope he will keep his energy and enjoy the story and the fan base and keep working onwards to season 4 and 5 time will tell

I think Jill would appreciate a guy on a bike more than a boaster on a motorcycle.

I think the key words here are guy and boaster. We've already seen that Jill isn't impressed by material posessions, she'd rather be picked up by MC on a bike/motorcycle than by Tybalt in a Rolls Royce. And it's not like the motorcycle is gonna be anything fancy anyway when your maximum funds are $$$$$.

My point is, you can be a guy on a motorcycle (be nice, genuine and humble to Jill) while still kicking a li'l dirt in Josy's eye.

Jill doesn't like boaster is one thing. Her lifestyle (yoga, tennis, jogging) is another thing.
So still a cyclist over a motorcyclist.

A lot of it depends on DPC himself will he be able to keep going? Some devs have burned out after a while and updates for them start becoming a chore and the excuses roll on in that hasn't happened here yet, I just hope he can keep himself motivated and hope it doesn't go down the same route as the likes of Icstor.

I don't think that will happen to him, Icstor never did show such professionality or such love for games as dpc did, dpc may take a vacation like all us do each year, that will be normal... but abandoning games half-completed...... I don't think so.
When you are passionate about something is almost impossible to get tired of it, you may take a vacation to enjoy a bit of life but you will want to go back to work if is something you enjoy.... i think icstor just did lost that passion or never did have it to begin with.

She doesn't strike me as the type to "push" her healthy life-style though (unlike some RL vegans and cross-trainers I know). And the scene where she and MC join the roleplaying session shows she respects other people's hobbies and interests and is open to them. Heck , she was more into it than MC.

Now that be a nice next date … go cycling with Jill I wont mind seeing that

I'm definitely not opposed to seeing that ass move on that bicycle saddle.

Luckily the release date is just a few weeks away so we have to remain strong and replay badik some more

I am exited as well as terrified for the next update so idk how I should feel about it

But I am also ready for it to drop to get the anxiety over with

The DIKs :

Founded by Rusty and Tommy 3-4 years ago

Maggot Brothers :
1st year : Nick and Vinny
2nd year : Jamie + Leon
last year : Jacob and John Boy
current year : mc and Derek

Not sure about that. MC and Liam were DIKs during their college days in Acting Lessons. Unless being a Dik happened long before Acting lessons, DIKs have been around for a while. (Unless this is a plot hole DPC overlooked).

It's not a plot hole, they're two separate stories that don't happen in the same world.

DPC has said as much.

So MC and Liam didn't go to B&R? I'm curious to know how DPC explains it because I thought he got his idea of the DIKs from the AL story complete with hell week.

AfaIk AL and BaDIK take place in different universes, so there might be similarities but no continuations.

I think, from what others have said, he just used the same name because he liked it. It may have been what inspired this story, I'm not entirely sure, but I do know that they don't exist in the same world.

Well I hope that passion never burns out because he has so much potential from this with the number of side girls in the game he could make a bunch of DLC or even separate games.

There are real life fraternities with name Delta Iota Kappa, see google. And DIK is probably the best possible name for a frat in a college porn game, same as HOT for a sorority.

I get it now. I thought the two stories had a common thread that bound the two together

 

[Holy Bacchus]

They could have been, but then this story states that the DIKs have only been around for 2 years and that Tommy and Rusty founded it. Had the frat been older, like 20 years or so, then it would have been more likely that they were linked.

 

[Ace_X]

Does anyone else have feeling that Zoey will appierd in HOTs in very near future?

Yes, and I hope so!

 

[f96zonetrooper]

Did DPC exaggerate mc's reaction on Josy + Maya in chapter 4 just to have a common ground when mc and Jade later talk about their respective relationship problems (Jade-Stephen and mc-girlfriend) which finally leads to mc's long night with Jade?

Common knowledge unless you live in some cave He has been influenced by a lot of college movies.

No.
