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

[Maviarab]

Nah, it's cool man, you don't to apologize. It's just it's something that pushes a lot of hot buttons as it's brought up all the time, not all that far behind from "Update?" ....

Update? When? Is incest being added at the same time?

*runs away cackling manically*

It's a relatively narrow point of view. The only thing to compare this game with AL is how he improved his artwork and how he wrote a good story with relatable characters. How faster he got producing, how creative he got etc. Just because his previous work was overall dark shouldn't automatically mean this game will also be like the previous one.

If DPC didn't back down when he completed AL, no way he'll change his vision for this or his future games for others' sake. He also said that.
So, his statement about how this game will go is still valid.

Exactly. as I've said before...the disclaimer is most likely there because nowadays the world is full of snowflakes who take offense and get upset at every little thing. It's on Steam, he just covering ass so no one can sue him.

Agreed

I hope this holds true. Anything can happen in our lives but I do hope you are right.

... Dammit!

I am sorry if i bothered you. I haven't played AL and when i started Badik i got that warning that threw me off. Since i don't like dark games i decided to look into AL and i saw what people said about it being dark and depressing. And i thought to ask about Badik here on this thread. Again sorry if i bothered anyone.

Don't worry about it. There's a lot of pages in this thread so repeated thoughts, queries, and theories are bound to happen. Some people just have a bit of a short fuse and get triggered seeing the same stuff over and over again and don't respond in the nicest of manners, but don't let them put you off voicing your thoughts and opinions.

No worries, just saw that talks by countless people that played AL too, it ticks me off.

How can I put the warning, let's say you have no problems with spiders. And there's a scene with big spider in the game. You wouldn't be bothered by that, but someone who has arachnophobia or who had problems with spiders before would feel bad about it. Think of it like that.
There was only one event happened that way. To summarize it without spoiling it is, when you play this game you can possibly bond with a couple or more characters. Since most of the characters are really relatable. Then one or more of these characters betray your trust. If you experienced something similar, it would feel really bad.
This game is one of the best games out there, if not the best.

Next time I'll burn some houses tho
Also, there were many people raged at DPC on his last game because there were no warnings about the dark ending, so I'm %99 sure he put that warning just to avoid that stupid backlash. Yes, there was a very big drama

 

[Zirael Q]

but the warning at the beginning

Lock your doors gonna buy gas and head right over

And that's how the college gets destroyed with all the LI's and Derek inside and you can only help one of them?

Rather jump in and die with them

and that warning will surely shut them up just in case !!

it can only go like this ...

I believe DPC is the snowflake in this case ...

I have a Mac, so I'll download 0.50 and then update that to .51 but I don't see a download here to .52. Where can I find that?

The PC one should work, just copy/paste to the v0.5.1 folder and overwite when prompted.

 

[Lightaces]

oh my fucking god, why is there still talks about if BaDIK is gonna go Acting Lessons way? DPC said after he "announced" this game after finishing AL that, BaDIK will have light theme. After 0.1 came out, it was said again. And again, and again, and again, and again, and again. If someone quotes this and says "but the warning at the beginning", I will burn down his/her house.

This. Game. Will. Not. Have. Dark. Stuff. On. AL. Level. ffs

Bella watches from the sidelines, thumbing her ax.

 

[Noor Oneal]

I don't know what's going on, but most of the people started talking about if the game will have a dark path. Or a dark ending.
To be honest I replayed the game multiple times and tried all the things. In the game, there is being a chick or a dik.
That will summaries the direction your character will take. obviously you knew that, or didn't.
I believe that meter opens the paths to either good, neutral or bad endings.
otherwise it wont be there just for show. Well, that is what I believe.

Yeah, I don't understand it... People seem to think that because the developer's first game was dark that every game they make will be dark. Since DPC explicitly said this won't be then I will take him at his word that even the bad endings won't be as dark as Acting Lessons. Of course we could just wait and see.

we have to agree on what a dark ending is.

if a Li (or an important character) died in a car accident would it be a dark twist? and for overdose?

these are "credible" events and also quite common.

for now the first twist was more of a surprise, followed by a long outburst, on balance nothing that left serious consequences (if a player wants Maya and Josy knows what to do, if he wants them individually he has to wait, but probably will be satisfied)

and I'm pretty sure that all players are expecting more of these twists, even more incisive ones, how far DPC will go no one knows.

Yeah, the game is still basically just starting to get serious. Season 1 was mostly introductions and how the game works.
This game seems to have different paths, it's up to the player which path they want. developer wont just force the dark ending down our throats.

Yes, And yet again, That is the players choice and that choice open different paths.

 

[Anthony11553]

Let's hope the game don't turn into Riverdale

 

[felicemastronzo]

Yes, And yet again, That is the players choice and that choice open different paths.

a car accident seems to me a very different thing from a psychotic serial killer ...

our choices determine the path, true, but not what happens or not, that establishes the plot regardless of what we decide

 

[Tserriednich'sNen]

Wasnt there a deleted scene of Jill blowing the MC in ep 5?

Nope, as of Episode 5 we're not even close to going that far with Jill, her and MC haven't even been fully nude in front of each other. Jill's the only relevant girl in the game so far to not have an actual lewd scene that isn't a glorified makeout session.

There's 2 walkthrough links in the OP, one is for eps 1-4 and the other is for ep 5. The one for ep 5 will be updated with ep 6 about 2 weeks after it's released.
