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

[Arigon]

Depends how you look at it I guess and what endings DPC is going for. Many endings in AL (which i dislike btw) were made up from the tinest decisions which actually had little impact on the actual story itself pre ending. Whether these choices in BaDIK will actually have any meaningful importance or are just illusion of choice for flavour remains to be seen.

I posted my spreadsheet showing all my save paths a few pages back if you're interested. If you go the route of waanting to see all possible content and all possible branching paths, no matter how minor, you sure as hell will need more saves.

I strongly dislike AL and feel that DPC ramrodded his ending there to try and bring drama to the story. As I have stated elsewhere, and even was banned on steam for [gasp] being critical of DPC's story, AL was great until the end. Then it was absolute shit. Drama and death and no win situation purely for the drama of it is bullshit. I even replayed with the Athletic trait to ensure I could carry both of the girls out.... no joy there.. why? Because AL sucks.

That said, I hope after the scorching DPC got with his last story, that he is smart enough to refrain from impossibilities that are stupid... Sure if both girls had been shot in AL and only one pulls through, that would have been fine...I guess... but in this story, which is supposed to be a coming of age story and college comedy, to inject anything like AL in it will ensure I never read another story from him.

if the dramatic twist hit Quinn, it would be a sigh of relief for 90% of players ...

in this moment she is the villain of the story, much more than Tommy, it would not be a great twist if it was ONLY her to pay the consequences for the various criminal activities in the end

on the discourse on the number of Saves needed: nobody knows, perhaps to see all the final 3 saves are few

then it is not certain that one is interested in seeing them all.

True enough. Bella is the only one I would say is a must have for me to have enjoyed the entire novel. The rest are gravy. I am pretty sure that 3 saves to this point are fine, but as we have to eliminate the other girls and or go for manwhore ending I am sure a few more will be needed.

Does compressed version work? Or do i have to downlaod the whole 7gb pack?

then I will not again share all the concerns I have about the happy ending with Bella

 

[Vollezar]

There is one thing that MC says about Bella that is kind of scary. When he comes to the library to talk to her, after Jill tells him that Bella was the one that suggested Jill dates MC, when he kisses Bella and she starts crying he thinks to himself as if it's feature him talking to the Now him something like "... if I knew at that moment what I know now about Bella I wouldn't have kissed her. I would have screamed for help..." "I would have screamed for help" Help for him or her? Bothers the crap out of me.

Yeah, I never like foreshadowing... But I think it would be for her. IIRC the MC was fairly concerned about Bella's reaction to being kissed.

it works.

 

[mayylok]

hello are there any games where the protagonist is a woman? not lesbian please.

Wrong thread for that. This is a list of Female protagonist games https://f95zone.to/tags/female-protagonist/
Have to go through them to find none lesbian though, but there are a lot of those.

 

[Anthony11553]

Is the next version gonna have more in game time pass? i think the last one was only a few days or something

 

[Vollezar]

Considering what I think that locked room is I wouldn't be surprised that Bella will soon need help. And her having feelings for MC is what might set her off.

 

[cryhwks]

It's understandable, you got hooked on her from the beginning. I did too. Even when I started having feelings for Maya, Josy kept popping back up. Having said that, if there is a final decision to be made I have to pick Jill even with as much as I love Josy and Maya and the idea of a throuple relationship.

I like all of the main 5 ladies, I also really like Jade, Cathy, Envy. I will do all of their routes.

I'm new and I just binged through all 5 seasons in a few days. Sweet game! I have several questions that may or may not have been answered already in the 4320 pages of comments

1) What is the best way to support DrPinkCake? I'm guessing paetron. I'm looking at any of the $1-30 patronages.
2) If I get the steam version, will I have to buy Season 2 (5-8) as standalone?
3) Am I the only one who craves more free roam? My principal critique of the genre is that there are very few actual choices. Mostly everything boils down to a few select moments. At the same time, I find it very difficult to keep track of how my decisions matter and affect down the road options. I suppose this is to encourage replays.

I have the same concerns I am pretty sure... and fuck FUCK DPC if he fucks that up

Sage all day long

I have a question about this scene - does this scene happen no matter what or do you have to be fuck buddies with Sage?

Yes and accept to give her guitar lessons.

and this is why I worry that DPC is not smart enough to know his audience. If he fucks up Bella, he will lose massive following. I know the artist needs to be free and shit, but he is an asshole for how AL ended. If he fucks up this story, I am done with him and done with my dollars.

there are tons, but as I am a dude, only interested in being the dude in stories, I am NOT giving you titles. Surf em if you want to know.

I don't think it will fuck up Bella. I think it will be a point when she finally let's go of her husband and what happened to break them apart. It will hit her like a train when she'll have to deal with it, but she will bounce back. She got Jill and MC to help her.

 

[Rimmer]

Will there be problems between Bella and Jill, they both like him, they both shared something together before he arrived.....what exactly we don't know, so will there be jealousy or a possible threesome?
