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

[Holy Bacchus]

You honestly think DPC cares about what we think? He has made it clear from the very beginning that he is writing his story.

What part of this isn't subject heavy? Sexual orientation discrimination? Parent(s) threating to alienate/disown their kids based upon their sexual partners? Kids walking away from their parents? Sororities pressuring women to have sex for money? Same sorority pressuring women to perform sexual acts to pass an initiation? Intravenous drug use? I could go on and on. Are we playing the same game? You are basing your level of "heavy" off the end game of AL and we are only 5 episodes in to BaDik. Trust me when I tell you, it's going to get worse before it gets better.

The difference between these two stories and their subject matter is that AL felt much more grounded in reality and this story, while grounded in certain places, is less grounded in other areas, such as what's going on with the HOTs. Again, it speaks to DPC's inspiration of those American comedy college movies because whilst the characters can portray very realistic traits and attributes, and the settings can also very realistic, the events and antics they get involved in are often farcical and/or contrived due to their outlandishness.

As such, when something seems less believable, like a sorority selling drugs and sex, you can more easily divorce yourself from the reality of it because it is less believable. AL, on the other hand, rings much more true to real life and there isn't much of anything within that story that feels particularly unrealistic, thus giving it a much more "heavy" feel than this story because it sets a very different tone.

Never say never
Besides, you don't have to call it "harem". Call it "sharing relationship" as you just did or .. Polyamory as i would call it..
As for Bella's "one time things" we all saw already what kind of "one time" they can be with MC

We can say "never" on a harem because we've been told as much, so a poly/throuple relationship is the best we can hope for in this game.

DPC stated during the Q&A he did back in February I believe that he won't state his favorite girl until after BaDIK is completed however when looking at the clues anyone with a functioning brain can make out that Jill is his favorite girl.

Because he's kept her pure? Is that what people are going by? Because it's the only thing I could point to if push came to shove.

The fact that he knows the commercial appeal of a saccharine ingenue character doesn’t at all suggest to me that she’s his favourite character.

Not at all, look at the little details and you'll see it. You're looking at the obvious things like content time and what not.

Do you know the name of track 11 of the licensed music?

i think it was lets go or something like that might be wrong

I take that!
In fact, for me, a "polyamory" relationship MC & Bella & Josy & Jill would be even better than a "harem" coz everybody would love everybody else and not only fuck them all - although.. that also

Which is exactly why I don't think he'll pull the same trick twice, I don't think DPC is that bad of a writer where he fails to come up with originality.

A death of a character is not a lack of originality unless he echoed the first death. Look at all the deaths in movies, books, and theaters (plays). It's a way to yank hard on the strings of the people who have grown fond of those same characters. Death is a part of life whether dying of old age, dying young tragically or anywhere in between.

haha, dear friend, you're such an ass. But I really like your point of view.
You are maybe one of the most interesting person to discuss with. Never agree, but always something relevant to say.
But for the first time ever, I am totally agree with you.
DPC already proved us he was capable to write a good story all alone. And remember on his last game, the story always contains a strong moral with adult reflexions, not like other teenage porn game.

Sooo did anyone post the best girl's special render preview yet?

Not at the moment

 

[Mr. Mayhem]

I see some people say that Bella might be a psychopath but I don’t really see that I just think she’s lonely. I want to know other people’s thoughts

well, she said that she "didn't like violence", that would be contradictory you know. But no one is immune to a turnaround

It's because the dev's previous game Acting Lessons has conditioned people to think this because of the locked door, but it will more than likely turn out to be something much more benign and emotionally charged than something dark and sinister.

Ah you are looking at the leaves and failing to notice the tree is falling on you. Look at the whole picture. Granted the whole "college" thing does give it a touch of levity, the situations we find ourselves in are just as "heavy" as AL. I for one haven't noticed that I feel disconnected from any of the story because it is on a different wavelength than AL.

DPC has tied the strings of his story on to our thoughts/emotions by getting us to care about his characters. Slowly but surely he has created situations that start pulling on those strings to get us to respond. He has already started building up toward bigger and bigger things. That's the problem with building any sort of tolerance. That in order to get a reaction you have to go bigger and badder to get the same level of reaction.

We already see him upping the ante. Look at Quinn talking to Camilla. "Is she going to be a problem?" The implication is that one way or another Quinn is willing to correct it. Look at the damage to the DIK's frat house. Look at the level of drama that is in the current episode. I can see all of this building and building from little ripples to this huge cresting tidal wave ready to come crashing down.

When Episode 6 does come out, is there a way to transfer the save files from the current one

Also, i finished this game in a little over two days and im wondering if theres other games similar to this one in regards of the different actions/storyline?

As long as he doesn't change anything on the back end the saves will be compatible

Hello, I'd like to have your opinion on the second picture. Jill looks like her sister's shoulders, don't you think she looks like mc's mother?
