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

[SPACE_BOOOOOST]

DPC can not handle critical thoughts. I seriously doubt he looks at this. HE wants to be worshiped for his sub par writing and great renders. IF someone else took over the writing, like anyone else, it would be better. His renders are his ONLY strong suit.

You spend an awful lot of time discussing a game and developer you despise with such passion, might I ask what the point of it is? I don't mind that you dislike it so much, it doesn't affect my enjoyment of BaDIK whatsoever but it does baffle me that you can't seem to let go of something you claim to like solely for its renders.

While i believe there are better writters around here implying that his writting is pretty much shit is a exageration. Also he left this forum because crybabies started harassing him during Acting Lessons development because they couldn't take that game's last act.

Seriously, I just want to know the name of the dev/VN that has raised the "writing" standards so high over here that this is always treated like shit.
It may not be the best but, is still better than most of the crap that we see in this genre. Imho the writing is impressive considering he is managing so many characters with some level of drama attached to everyone.
With so much going on, the writing will seem a bit off sometimes but as long as it's fun it shouldn't matter.

And looking at the no. of pages in this thread, it's safe to say that it's quite enjoyable for a lot of people. So as the game fulfills its primary objective, "good" writing is only secondary.

A lot of people bring up PhillyGames and looking at Arigon's signatures it's probably the case here too. Because apparently there can only be one great writer and the rest is just automatically trash tier.

The dumbest part about this whole argument is that BaDIK is basically a porn VN version of all those college and high school comedy movies that were popular in the late 90s and early 2000s and none of those have complicated or particularly well-written stories because it wasn't the point. It's supposed to be fun, entertaining and a little silly and that's exactly what Being A DIK has been consistently for 5 episodes so far - with some more serious tones and topics sprinkled on top of it from time to time to make it stand out.

As far as DPC's ego is concerned, he could believe himself to be the reincarnation of Shakespeare for all I care, as long as the game is this enjoyable that's what I'm focusing on and not his supposed antics.

I see there have been some posts on Patreon about episode six. Could some kind member give me the gist of the posts? Looking promising or don't get your hopes up?

If you glance back through the pages in this thread, you'll see most of the patreon update posts. People are pretty good about posting them here.

never seen so much back and forth on which is the best woman in the game there is no wrong answer everyone has different taste

Yup. The amount of back and worth about the characters and the story itself on this forum proves that his writing is at least good enough to get player's emotions going. And that is exactly what matters.
While I won't deny that the amount of yummy nudity in this game gets me to pause once in a while, I usually skip sex scenes. The story itself and all the little sub stories are just too interesting.

someone give this man a cookie !!!

on what is well written or not everyone will always have their own idea that depends on the taste, experience and competence of each individual person.

you can love terrible films and find absolute masterpieces boring, and you are not wrong in either case.

the only thing we have to defend is how we spend our time. like talking about how treacherous Maya is ...

Or how Quinn is a bad person ,or how Bella killed her husband and keeps his body, or how Sage is the best of them all.

NO
She is nowhere as good as Harley Quinn.
She is a whore. Pimp. Drug Dealer.
Not even in the same universe as Harley. Sorry Bacchus, you are totally wrong.

It's not a 1:1 comparison. They share similar character traits and could have a similar character arc, so the comparison in this regard is quite accurate.

Also, Harley was a murdering psychopath when she was with the Joker and helped him do all sorts of unspeakable things, so I think the actions of old, villain Harley far outweigh Quinn's petty crimes.

DPC can not handle critical thoughts. I seriously doubt he looks at this. HE wants to be worshiped for his sub par writing and great renders. IF someone else took over the writing, like anyone else, it would be better. His renders are his ONLY strong suit.

Seriously, why do you keep harping on about this? I know you got banned on their Steam for voicing some criticism, but feels like you're holding on a little too lightly to a silly grudge.

If DPC's writing was so bad, there would a lot more dicsussion about it, but there isn't. There's far more discussion about the story, plot threads, characters arcs, etc, precisely because the writing is good. They might not always handle everything the right way, like the M&J situation in ep 4, but even the most experienced screenwriters and novelists can miss the mark occasionally.

Honestly, I feel like you need to let this go because the writing is not that bad. If it was, people wouldn't be so invested in this story and the characters, and the reason why they are is because it's a well-written story that has made people care so much.

WT for v. 0.5.2 please!

Seriously, check the OP.

Lol. Is it really a thing cause I 'm kinda a week in on the thread and I'm not going to read 4,3K pages.

Also he left this forum because crybabies started harassing him during Acting Lessons development because they couldn't take that game's last act.

I'm sorry i dunno who's the crybaby here, he as a dev knew (or at least i hope he knew) the "risks" and that his story will get negatives comments too not only praising ones, no he just got himself locked in his ivory tower after he hit the jackpot that's it, let's be fair...
