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

[Ennoch]

Just in a game where he has gone out of the way to give even minor characters a personality, Bella sticks out like a sore thumb. He has Jade and Cathy for the older teacher stuff and he obviously spent more time writing and designing them.

What you see as lack of personality, i see otherwise. I quite like her personality and understand it as well. She is simply not your preference, thats it. Someone who you genuinely dislke. I for example dislike Derek greatly. I couldn't care less about Maya or Josey. I'm stuck with them.

But i consider them integral part of the game i don't want them to be just changed or removed, maybe the game later offers a chance to get rid of them.. that is, to avoid them. But if not so be it.

But these aren't mistakes here. They are just different personalites, and differ this greatly for a good a reason.

Yeah, it's most obvious with her "proportions," very stereotypically "MILFy." I've seen fan renders and the younger Bella renders that are more proportional and I honestly thing they are more attractive than what is there now. It's not like you'd have to change the story, her role in it, or Bella's characterization either with this different model. There are other "mommy" characters like Jade that fill the visual niche too so it isn't like that role would go unfulfilled.

I have to agree about Bella. The anormaly big tits seems like he (dev) was trying to pander to a specific crown. Still she is a great character despite this.

However i do like Jade's model a lot more. She is a actual milf while having more proportional body measures. Hell i wish she was one of the main romantic routes, i even know who i would kick out to give her space.

Not harsh enough. If they are really harsh, 99% of the posts here will be deleted

True, but we really can't be expected to remain civilized at all times while talking about complex issues revolving around virtual titties. All that pent-up frustration between updates has to go somewhere, might as well shitpost and pointlessly argue about whose waifu is better.

That's why we should be grateful that we still have 4000 pages of shitposts around.

Is that Bella in jav mode

Do you guys think this game will have dark turns? I know Dr said this game will be more light hearty but still.

I’d hope it won’t be as Dark as Acting Lessons. I think that will actually spoil this. I see this as soap opera meets teen comedy. At the moment it the story is leaning into soap opera tropes, while the setting and characters are teen comedy. Hopefully it keeps riding the line.

I like all of the main LIs. They all have their own charms. Maya is cute but makes bad choices, Josy out going, Jill is sweet, Sage is grumpy and mean and kind at the same time, Bella is moody but funny just Deadpan. The journey with her will presumably be drawing out her personality she has hidden behind the ice queen persona.

In fairness I think nearly all of the main love interests have hyper sexualised characteristics. Big hips, slim wastes, perky butts, big boobs. Yes Bella is the most cartoonish, I don’t think any of them can be consider realistic. I mean, you manage to tit fuck Josy i‘m sorry to say there is 0 chance of those B cups preforming that godly duty IRL



To change the subject slightly, I’ve been wondering if the Crabs might not actually be Arieth. Isn’t she clean shaven? We do know however that one of the DIKs has a girlfriend with a honking great bush. my lead suspect; Dani.

You have the most fun out of the game then, lucky you Of course they have their own charm, i always say that they are for different types, so that a wider audience could have someone to pursue. White Knights have their waifu, wildchilds have their own, degenrate melon fans like myself have Bella Not that her proportions have anything to do with her personality really.

I find it somewhat interesting that some just can't handle a mature personality. Bella's precieved fault is that she just doesn't fall into the MC's arms from the get-go and unlike so many games.. she doesn't want to tell half her life-story to some random kid she just met. Its beside the point that she has some issues the meantime.

It could not be Arieth, sure. But how do you explain that Dani passed the crabs to so many DIKs? (Pun may or may not be intended ) Butit's true that Arieth looks shaven. Is there anything better than this?

I don't know the whole discussion about Bella, but personally Bella and Jill are my favorite. I keep on waiting for their content every time. I love Bella's character not just because of her proportions, but because she has that hard to get personality and probably some past which we have started uncovering slowly and steadily.

I like Jill because she is just bubbly and fun personality.

Cathy and Jade are extra side characters whereas Bella is a main female love interest. I like the games where their is some development, and this Dev is amazing. He has let the romantic development not be extremely fast, but not a very slow burn as well.

Personally I like all the girls in this game. But if I have to rank my preference, it is Bella>Jill>Sage>=Josy=Maya. The other Hots are good as side characters and I like them as well.

I have a hard time believing that Bella has a mature personality. She doesn't know what she wants and says (and thinks) one thing and does another. Jill looks more mature in that regard. She know what she wants, what pace she wants and acts accordingly. Even Jade is more mature than her.

Well Jade is about 10 years older than Bella

I actually think Bella is trying to play a role that isn't her and, as we learn more about her past, we'll realise she's actually a natural Hot Not a restaurant Hot but certainly closer to Sage than Maya.

And Jill is 10 years younger. My point is she doesn't look to me like a mature personality. Bella might be the oldest of the LI, but not the most mature imo. She's fallen for the MC the same as the rest, but her cold façade and her constantly denying it apparently convinces people that she didn't, but we've seen her trying to convince herself that she's not into him almost since the beginning. Pretty much as Sage with the "only fwb", but in a slighly different manner.

Jade represents the fantasy, the stereotype of the MILF. Cathe the cougar

Bella is closer to the older sister's porn/hentai stereotype.

the strong point of the 5 LIs that are clearly different from each other, but with many points of contact, in a realistic way. in the end the only unrealistic behavior is their attraction to MC, but we can't complain

 

[Darkdevil66]

I for example dislike Derek greatly.

Well, I’ve (fortunately) never had crabs. But whenever people tell stories about them I think they can pass through households through laundry. As far as we know the DIKs have them but the alphas don’t even though most of them have also fucked Arieth.

It was also not made clear if Derek had them, though it was suggested he might.

I have a hard time believing that Bella has a mature personality. She doesn't know what she wants and says (and thinks) one thing and does another. Jill looks more mature in that regard. She know what she wants, what pace she wants and acts accordingly. Even Jade is more mature than her.

Bella is traumatised and or heart broken. For whatever reason she is attracted to the MC, I think this could be a maternal feeling (perhaps playing in to the dead kid theory). Think about the MC for a moment;

In shape
intelligent
kind
funny
flirty
needs her help
gets on with her best friend
big ol‘ D

For whatever reason he’s unlocked her repressed sexuality, perhaps just because it’s the first time she has let her guard down in recent times.

What do we know about her personality outside her relationship with MC. She’s 36 give or take. Has been married, possibly had a kid. She has a sense of humour (which I like alot) but it’s very deadpan seemingly because of her trauma. She cooks, she keeps in shape, she likes wine tasting for fun. She keeps her axe and Boots clean and sharp (lol). Her idea of a date night is sitting quietly in her study reading.

The ‘she doesn’t know what she wants‘ side Is all part of her trauma. She doesn’t want to ‘cheat’ on her husband, but she knows the relationship is over (either because she murdered him and chopped his body into iddy biddy pieces or because he left for other reasons). She is also probably torn about the age differences, And about MCs relationship with Jill. I actually think those issues are part of her maturity rather than evidence of a lack of it.

 

[der123fer]

Maybe i'm mixing things up, but i recall DPC saying that Bella is his favorite character to write, so if that's the case then your last statement is incorrect.

DPC said that those were Derek, Quinn, Bella and Jade, in no particular order. It was from a Q&A back in February

 

[Holy Bacchus]

Ya, I'll admit, if this game ends up like AL, and it's seeming like a pattern is emerging that every game he creates ends with emotional devastation, BaD would probably be the last game I play from DPC.

This likely will have some emotional devastation (already has for some), but it will hopefully come more in the form of relationship drama and character backstories than it will in a major character death.

Maybe it's a conspiracy to prevent us from reaching 4k posts.

Pages, not posts.

It's not that she doesn't have a personality, it's that she's not expressing it. There's something that's making Bella repress her true self and as such, we haven't yet seen what her personality is really like but we have had some glimpses of it.

Bella's an enigma right now and it's this mystique that makes her so appealing because people want to know what's beneath that hard exterior, what the real Bella is like, what has made her this way, and I think we're going to discover more of that in Season 2.

I for example dislike Derek greatly.

I like all of the main LIs. They all have their own charms. Maya is cute but makes bad choices, Josy out going, Jill is sweet, Sage is grumpy and mean and kind at the same time, Bella is moody but funny just Deadpan.

Me too. I like all the main LIs and a few side girls too, and if I could have them all I absolutely would.

Arieth has a small landing strip, which I guess is quite appropriate.

DPC said that those were Derek, Quinn, Bella and Jade, in no particular order. It was from a Q&A back in February

Easy to see why as they each fall in to very basic character tropes; the idiot best friend, the rebellious bad girl, and the horny cougars. The other main characters, specifically the LIs, have more complexity and depth to their characters, although I suspect we will see some more depth from Quinn in the upcoming episodes as we find out more about her.
