VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.11.1] [DrPinkCake]

[flippityflop]

I don't really get this whole "dull girl" thing. Do some people just expect every girl they meet to be some wild, spontaneous, unpredictable, off-the-wall, free-spirit? Is it because guys expect them to be great in bed, or something like that?

Not necessarily, no. Merely wanting to have a conversation without feeling like you might doze off at any moment also comes to mind.
Many seem to underestimate how important and integral communication is for a good and healthy relationship.

Because in my experience, girls that some might consider "dull" are anything but that in the bedroom. In fact, it's the quiet ones that usually have the kinkiest streaks to them. (Looking at you, KRJ. )

I used to think that way too. But that's a gross generalization and somewhat of a misconception.
Also, there's a difference between being dull and being reserved. KRJ is the latter.

 

[Holy Bacchus]

in addition to being beautiful, she would also be an interesting "LI", different from the others, not at all related to the BR, with the complication of a young son, adult like Bella, but tied to practical issues

she would add something to the story

DPC's next game: "Green with Envy". The MC, a man with the surname Green, is down on his luck and drowning his sorrows at the Pink Rose when one of the strippers, Envy, takes pity on him and befriends him. Slowly their relationship builds, as does his relationship with the other girls - Brandi, Rose, Sandy, and Lily - but is the MC looking for committment with Envy, or just to have a good time with her and the other girls?

As long as you do it bellow 44 dB she should be ok .

Yes.

Interesting, I though I would have noticed those earlier...

The MC gets trapped the DIK mansion and burns to death in the final episode
Endings relate to which LI gives your eulogy.

He's referring to the miserable genre shifting 3rd act of Acting Lessons where it went from a Sexy Romantic Drama in Acts 1 and 2 to a Tragic Psycho Thriller in Act 3. That's bad storytelling. It was like watching your favorite sitcom, then tuning in one day to find out that half the characters been murdered and it's now a horror show. That's not what I signed up for. For me it utterly ruined the game and I deleted it from my computer.

If he has something like that train-wreck in mind for BADIK, turning "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" into "Halloween 3", I'll be deleting this game to.

Stick with the formula, Doc. People love the game for what it IS. If you change it into something else in the 3rd act, what makes you think that's gonna keep us invested? There are over 3000 pages of active posts on people invested in the story you created. Don't pull the rug out from under us. You want to do something different, start a new game! I'm sure we'll love that too.

Just my 2 cents.

We know what he meant. And AL wasn't a sitcom at all, it was a tragedy since the beginning, it had lots of dark moments before that. This game doesn't come close to the earlier episodes of AL.

I am playing Acting Lesson in these days, and I confess that I immediately thought that if I had played it before probably I would not have started BADIK.

the third act of AL has two problems, one is the one you were talking about: the senseless accumulation of WTF drama, useless for the story. and the second is that in the third act in practice we stop playing, we "suffer" the consequences of what we have done up to that moment with very few interactions.

but they are two serious flaws (for me the ending is worth half the work) on a great game

I hope that DPC has learned something, at least on the first problem, on the second I already have some more doubts

the first 5 -6 chapters of AL are a masterpiece.

they are better than anything I've ever played (here at least)

Personally I didn’t particularly mind the dramatic choice but disliked the fact we ended up thereafter with few interactions.

DPC accumulates too many dramas in AL, and some of them don't even exploit them enough.

that Melissa's stepfather is also in the drug business and has a policeman on his side, what does it add to the story? nothing, just confusion. if all the attention had been only on the abuse of mother and daughter wouldn't it have been better?

a nurse / stalker / murderer would be an exaggerated character in any story

the dilemma, and then the feelings of guilt, about who to save from the fire was enough to make AL a very adult story anyway. the rest is ballast

 

[Roelandt]

What do you mean?

will there be different games in the next chapters? or will they also be replaced in the chapters already seen?

If you're struggling with the mini-games, buy all the ingame cheats from Derek and the Nerds. That helps ALOT.

Or set the game to Mini-games Off at the start of the game. I'm there for the story, though I did do a run through with the games On but that's not my cup of tea. At least the Games don't form a Hard Wall that prevents you from proceeding in the story until you finish it like some games do.

I think that was to make a diversion from Leah, so we wouldn't think too much about it.

the stepfather would still have been the prime suspect, even without drugs and compliant police.

Dick is also given us as a false clue, and that's fine

 

[Gh0st_Harambe]

She deserves to be the star of her own game as the prime LI.

I wouldn't mind swapping Nicole for Bella as main girl

Bacchus! I've never seen this slide before! Where is it from? That's the shirt he wore on his first day! How did you get this to happen?

If you piss her off in ep 1, she throws you out. I never got that happen to me, but know where the render is in the files.

Try flirting with her while having a DIK affinity.

I used "sitcom" metaphorically to illustrate a dramatic change of tone and genre. I said it was a Sexy Romantic Drama (almost a Romantic Comedy with strong Dramatic elements), not a Tragedy at all until ERRRRRRRRR CRASH!!! Act 3! And SCRUBS suddenly turns into SAW. Jarring, sloppy storytelling.

BUT...so lets talk about BADIK in this Thread. Let's take AL discussions to the Acting Lessons Thread.

You Forgot about Karen Rebecca Johnson

I only listed those with a lewd scenes. No Karen, no Heather, no Brandi, no Sally, no "Super Hot Chick in the Red Dress".

But, I understand that Karen, or KRJ, is a fan favorite. So much so that I expect Doc will include her more in the future. I like her to. She's adorable, though quite fragile.
