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

[victoryroad]

Just did a replay where I choose Derek to stay with and during the first free roam I found a red backpack that does... nothing
Not sure what that is about, guessing a 'red' herring but maybe I missed something. Anyone got something to say about it?
(Leave Derek's Room, click the arrow pointing at the drone, click the red area between the plant and waterfountain on the right)

I think there's a special render hidden there, if you haven't already found them in a previous route.

I must say i really like Sage.I didn't like her at first because i thought she was the basic bitch cliché , being the president of the HOTs.Also i was playing more like "how iam irl" so i was mostly intoi the chick side because i don't like trouble and tend to ignore it.

But she's quite nice and i think at some point she'll be more than just "fuck buddy" and probably can't get her mind off you.

Seriously i'm shocked that she's been more interesting than Maya which i find to be bland (not bad, just not interesting to me)

I think it would have been much better if Maya had of been wilder, actually interested in being a hot rather than the meek naive mouse. Given Jill cornered the sweet ingenue market, she’s rather pointless imo beyond those who want the ménage a trois relationship.

How do I unlock these two, I have tried loading the game save several times but I don't know how to unlock.

hey the possible grandfather of the mc was talking to sage's father or was that guy pure coexistence?

Agreed, the game needs to commit to what it is. On the one hand, it spends inordinate effort in Episode 4 to play up how momentous the decision between the MC, Maya and Josy is. But on the other hand, Episode 5 insists nothing was really decided and the MC is still free to bang anything that moves (except non-Bella teachers, for some reason) because Maya and Josy want to take it slow.

As I said before, I sort of get the logic behind Maya's string theory and I think it is likely the game will be watching our actions behind the scenes to figure out if the poly route works. But it would be so much more reasonable if trio agreed to a certain amount of exclusivity and the MC would thus be deliberately cheating should he continue pursuing other girls.

I suspect the problem is that then the game would need to develop a whole new set of non-sexual interactions with the other girls (lest episodes become even shorter for lack of content on each path), and DPC wants to avoid that workload as long as possible. You see a few signs of that kind of interaction in Episode 5, in the Maya/Josy scenes when you reject them, or Sage explaining that guys don't turn her down often. But those scenes were repurposed from the sex scene lead ins, right down to a lot of the dialog. It would take a lot more work to, for example, replace our second date with Jill with a platonic interaction with her.

So I get that there are real world concerns here. But it's just so frustrating how much the game bends over backwards to prevent us from experiencing the logical consequences of the actions the game not only demands we take, but demands we take in such dramatic fashion.

This is why I'm sincerely hoping that, as good as this game is, it will end sooner rather than later. The longer it goes on the worse the strain will get.

BaDIK is not perfect but compared with other games it really sets standards and is the best game of this type I know. I would rather see it go on as it is than have it shut down soon just to give choices in the game more consequences.

It's a common mantra that games are about choices but this usually applies more to games like chess, which have limited content (chessboard, 2 colors, 6 different pieces, ruleset) and where the player creates his own story, and less to VNs with unique prescribed stories and prescribed decisions.

Major decisions with consequences split a story into exclusive paths and so spread the content over more and more different paths, making the story for each path shorter than it would be without decisions (if we assume the same amount of overall content). BaDIK is published in episodes. If all episodes have about the same size (amount of content) and some major decisions, then the later episodes will only feature an exponential number of progressively shorter stories and players will be disappointed and frustrated.

The affinity system (DIK, neutral, CHICK) is probably the best we can get since it is more like a two-/three-lane highway which simply follows the main story and where the player can decide if he drives left, middle or right to see some special landmarks on his journey. The main part of the content (the highway) remains the same for all players. And unless one does an extreme DIK or CHIK playthrough, most will probably end somewhere in the middle (neutral).

If someone has a working concept for a game with 10-20 episodes of fixed size (100%) and at least one major decision per episode I would be interested to see how the (limited) content can be spread over the increasing number of different story arcs in later episodes without stalling the game.

Since day one playing this game, i knew SAGE is my go to girl,,, she's so smokin' hot, the rendering of her on this game is absolutely amazing,,, she's like a secret gem that you wanna keep and dont wanna loose,,, i think she's more than just an ordinary fuck-buddies, she IS the perfect companion, both of the MC and SAGE are almost in the same route, being cheated at the same time, and by being cheated, they have the same feeling and emotion. Sage definitely my number one girl. the number two spot is almost a tie between Jill and Maya...

PS : i think we need to see Sage doing anal in the next season,,,

for you DrPinkCake, i say thank you very much for creating this amazing game, as anyone said, at first play for the lust stays for the plot

 

[TheOtherGuyWithGlasses]

Then it would be your's list, not his?
Then you'll want to see this

Never in my life have i ever been so disgusted and quite frankly insulted at the fucking audacity this man has to even contemplate such trash. This "Tier" list is a sin against God himself and represents everything that is wrong with the world. Maya and Josy belong to the streets.

I like Sage, but I have to say that in the first episode she doesn't look that good. She looks better ep.2 onwards. And in the flashback this episode... Readhead dyed... even redder

Four of five months. It will be a while.

If he ever makes a scene where we can do this to Burke himself I'm all for it Tybalt had that coming and Dad is next in line for a punch although I think I'd much rather see Jade do it and then flip him off

Anyways, is the number of episodes already decided or will it end on version 1.0 or 10 chapters?

Uh dude its a game. Calm down, we all like different things in life and women. Life isn't a dick, don't take it so hard

Guarantee you that if DPC gives us that option my DIK MC will take it

Theory is somewhere between 15-20 episodes

Maybe a huge fight where both burke and Tybolt gets their asses kicked by mc would be epic. Kind like the above but both burke and Tybolt gets a punch at the end.

Dr PinkCake really out did himself again. This now already feels so big and also the different path. This game actually feels bigger then even his previous game.

Anybody afraid of Cathy in episode 6?
Knowing that the students are scared but find her hot may push her more into the dominant direction that was foreshadowed in season 1 dreams and special renders.
