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

[Meushi]

sorry, it seems to me that it has already been talked about but I can't find the post:

if i want to start playing before the new chapter comes out, what version do i have to play to make sure the save is recognized? is the last one okay?

Any of v0.5.0, v0.5.1 or v0.5.2 should work.

I wouldn't recommend using the full v0.5.2 in the OP though - it's unpacked so probably can't be directly upgraded to v0.6.0.

So what are the chances to bang Bella in this next update?

I don't want to get my hopes up too high, even though if hadn't been for Jill she may very well have ridden him in the sauna. That being said, I really don't think DPC can continue to blueball people when it comes to Bella for another episode. A recent comment on their Patreon made it sound like we might just be getting 12 episodes max, and if that were to be the case then this upcoming episode would put us at the halfway stage, so surely we should get some proper action with Bella at this point. Full sex would be ideal, but even something like 69ing would be great, so I'd (hesitantly) say the chances of something good with Bella are about 70-75% likely.

you are right.

considering then that several players / games are focused on one or two LIs, they too have to find their content otherwise playing becomes less interesting. and the more we go forward the more the focus on an LI will become marked

I also think Jill has about the same chance of something as well because she too was ready and raring to go in ep 5 but stopped herself. Even if it's just a handjob with some naked boob groping, that would at least be something, but I have a (cautiously optimistic) feeling it might go a bit further on that ice cream date.

Honestly, if this episode covers a whole in-game week and we could have sex with all the main LIs and even a couple of side girls like Quinn and Nicole, then it would be the best update ever.

Jill is likely, if we are in a relationship with her there is "narratively" no reason to postpone a new appointment with some progress. and she is also quite present in the previews

Bella is much less present, we hope

 

[felicemastronzo]

That's what's worrying me. She's had one preview and that was with sage so i don't know what to make of that, but if i remember correctly she didn't get that many previews last episode either and we still got the sauna scene so...

Not expecting full on sex with her but at least a bit more action this because this been stretched long enough.

look, I'm more worried about the time available than the previews.

some surprises are always hidden by the previews, moreover many of these do not seem significant to me (any reference to D&G is purely coincidental ..)

the problem is that it seems to me an already "full" chapter

the sauna scene was enjoyable, but it's actually a filler, it doesn't mark any progress in the relationship, like grinding with Jill.

we are halfway through the game (maybe) it is the case that relationships begin to develop for real

 

[der123fer]

I can't remember? But I think you also fuck her at least 2 other times, once when tied to that chair, and a threesome that you have to pay for.

It's not really a 'fuck' per se, but it's still a scene. It's when you move in to the HOTS mansion, so you have to choose Sage

 

[felicemastronzo]

I don't think the sauna scene was filler, like okay sure there wasn't much there but she was about to jump on MC if Jill wasn't there. I agree there hasn't been much progress regarding their relationship, but it's a bit hard to make progress in the relationship when we only know little bits of her.

We have to see some progress in their relationship, lewd wise too...unless DPC will make Jill stick like glue to Bella and MC. If that happens then i'll seriously doubt his writing.

but the relationship between Mc and Bella is in this situation practically from the beginning, she would jump on him (and it is not even clear why, what she sees in MC that he could not have seen in one of the other students) but in the middle of opera thinks about it and runs away.

the sauna scene reaffirms the status quo, to be optimistic it puts us in doubt that without Jill we would have taken some steps forward .. but we didn't do it so ..

I gave it a try...Beginnig was so boring then there were good content but all i can tell as a summary at the end it's not as good as i expected.The emotion is missinng.Story is like copy of the movie of "Shane's World" of 1990's.

I know they say, "everyone's entitled to an opinion", but this one? Nah, bruh.

"Boring"? There's copious amounts of sex with a veritable bevy of hot girls, and pretty much all of them are among the hottest girls in adult VNs. The story is also immensely gripping and engaging with all sorts of dramatic twists, turns, and secrets.

"Emotion is missing"? There's a shit ton of emotional stuff in this game, so much so that it's honestly incredibly hard not to develop an emotional connection with some, if not all, of the characters.

"Shane's World"? I think you mean "Wayne's World" and this is nothing like that. Aside from the settings being massively different, Wayne's World was a pure comedy movie whereas BaDIK is a teen drama with a sprinkling of comedy added on.

do you mean the first chapter with "beginning"?

I can only advise you to get to at least the third one, then if you really don't care: peace, there are other games

you may be right.Maybe i was so fast.

yeah sure....i mean the last chapter wouldn't be beginnig lmof.

 

[felicemastronzo]

In the beginning she was more distant than she's right now so i believe she's slowly 'progressing' in that regard. We still got plenty of time to get her story straight but so far this really has been a stalemate



You're right but the next time they're alone something gotta give, right?

rightly when she found him naked behind a bush some doubts came to her ..

however practically from the drunk date on we are in a stalemate, from which we could go out in the sauna, but it did not happen so in fact nothing has changed

brother we all hope so !!!
as you said previously, it also becomes difficult to imagine big steps forward until Bella is a mystery with legs (and an ass and tits ...)

 

[Journey95]

After replaying Being a DIK again I really appreciate the pacing of this game so far. Many devs milk their games and blueball you with cheap teases and pointless dragged out dialogue. But here I think the dev here has managed to have a good balance. The conversations are never dragged out and are usually interesting + the sex scenes deliver as well.

Its actually fun to replay, unlike 99% of other games of this genre. I just hope the dev keeps this up and doesn't go the acting lessons way again..no need to go that dark!

I don't really agree the relationship with Bella has been a "stalemate". The tone of the relationship has changed, particularly in the last episode. Granted, there's a reasonable argument that it hasn't progressed fast enough given the limited time the game has, but the progress is there.

From episode 3 to episode 5 we see a subtle shift in Bella being outwardly indifferent and resistant sexually/romantically to MC to showing some more overt affection/warmness. It's subtle, but it's there (and subtlety is the name of the game when it comes to Bella) . It's clear in episode 5, with Bella's open praise for MC's handling of Cathy, Bella's tiny smile after MC remembers her favourite song, the yoga splits scene, more overt enthusiasm sexually in the sauna etc.

the only event that seems significant to me in the relationship with Bella is that in the library, when Bella explodes emotionally, but then there is no clarification, a reconciliation.

but it's a real, exciting reaction, not the usual hit and run that makes Bella look like a nymphomaniac, unable not to jump on me when alone

if history proceeds with subtle, very subtle changes, three seasons are not enough
