For all the flack DPC receives for DnG, I hope we haven't seen the last of it.

I get it that people want the MC to have sex in the "real" world and not inside his imagination while playing the game, but I actually enjoy it. Who knows, as these DnG games progress, marginal characters (like Sally and KRJ) get a chance to shine.

And Sally, she shines diamond in these scenes, taking Tybalt down a notch, getting thrown into bushes...

If KRJ gets roped into the next game, I think it could be pretty hilarious! :D
I agree! I really enjoyed the D&G stuff. If I had to complain about anything, I wonder where the whole rebuild-the-DIK-mansion stuff is going to go. If restoring/repairing the house allows for other activities to happen (for example, repair the TV room so you can invite Josy and Maya over and watch movies, or repair the main party room so the DIKs can have another party, etc.) then it makes sense to invest that kind of time and effort, but the whole point of that is not clear to me yet. DPC is a very talented developer and so I trust that he's thinking about that, but sometimes I do get the sense that he does some stuff just to flex his game development muscles. I admire that he's building skills in other areas to broaden the game. I imagine he's eyeballing that "overwhelmingly positive" rating he has on Steam and is hoping that a much bigger, broader season 2 will help him sell more copies, etc.. But it's important that each episode advance the story and have the kind of adult action that really engages the fans and Patreon supporters. First and foremost, I got hooked on Being a DIK for the story, characters, and the hotness. For me, the D&G stuff fits well within that. The scenes are funny, we get to spend some time with characters like Magnus and Sally (love me some Sally), and our MC's imagination allows for all kinds of other fun, besides.

Anyway, if we're lucky we'll see episode 7 come out in April. With all the new hardware at DPC's disposal, he's been cranking out the animations like crazy and has said he's wrapped up (or is close to wrapping up) the longest "lewd scene" yet. Don't know what that's going to be with, but I can't wait to see it.

Am I missing out on something? Who exactly is Maya's mom? And what do people mean by Jill hiding something?
Not sure about the second one, but the "Maya Mom" theory is that Nora is actually Maya's Mom since she just so happens to be at the bar on the same night the Dad shows up at the college. This theory also ignores Nora saying she has no kids and claims she was just lying.

Wait what 50k-100k a MONTH? Holy shit that's a lot. We thirsty boys are really feeding them aren't we?
and if those devs deliver they deserve every penny! except isctor he should be banned... scammer!

i run out of reactions its a 1st time thing for me... feels awkward... worst part i wasted it on holy when he came back with the aunt theory, just stop it!

its as people explained the college theme scratches the right hitches for most people as its normally the time where they reached their peak in options and wonder what if they had picked differently although an high school would probably be better if not for legal reasons...! in college my personality was already formed and i had my many options open already i did not had to define myself and open new routes to life hacks!

Also if you want beautiful girls alcohol and plenty of excuses for sex there are few other options that can bring in the perfect storm!

also i do not mind the clones they are fulfilling an important market function of signaling there is a market for these things and therefore more producers artists programmers and so forth will try and take advantage of the opportunity that will increase demand for technology and processing systems that will make the stories run faster!

eventually there will be a consolidation and teams will form up, i hope DPC is one such element that creates a team around him preferably with Yuno Gasai or perhaps yuno will do what ocean lab did find an abandoned game with potential talk to the developer to get the script and create it himself!

anyway the end result is i have something to entertain myself for 18 hours a day and with quantity comes quality!
college theme , sci fi etc. are common themes

Ancient war theme VN needed
now here is a concept i can get behind, probably philly would be the best choice for developer or at least writer since war game means there will be some "forceful" interactions! not that there are not better writers out there... i just do not know who they are!

Also for people who do not know! DPC is German married to a feminist Swedish girl (are there non feminist Swedish girls anymore i wonder?)! that is the best of my knowledge!

the reasons being that he fell for a girl who wanted to live near her family, German laws regarding porn and tv are retarded when you add in porn games the politicians always use the most "practical" angle to screw over people! do not get me wrong love German culture hate their history and i find some of them quite enjoyable as people, but thats because my requirement for friends tend to be high and not so much that they are friendly!

The same thing happened with the Spanish poker player community , they all moved over to England and other places since Spanish gambling laws are retarded and oppressive!

Just learning about college kings. I think undergrad steve has a team tho or is looking to make one.

Anyway I never saw Nora getting a wallpaper. The KRJ wallpaper isn't looking to good atm but I mean who even wants a Jill wp.

Im pretty excited about this free roam hes talking about. I know you tri betas want 'story' but im here to fuck.
The Prep's party freeroam was pretty big, and eventful.

The free roam when staying with Sage was really good; I mean roaming free in a sorority filled with scantily clad or just downright naked college babes, how can that go wrong (and the interactions with Sage, Quinn, Mel & Sarah (and their daughters - Ash & Lily), Heather, Riona - they were all thoroughly enjoyable.

The DIK mansion freeroams aren't that exciting; mostly a sausage fest (thank you Heather for breaking the monotony).

So yeah, looking forward to the biggest free roam yet, can't imagine where it may be taking place...

This a hundred percent. I really want a good barbarian low fantasy vn. Conan the Barbarian style shit.
Conan even had his comic sidekick - it's just waiting to be made!

It seem that to succeed in AVN, college theme (highlighted in green) would be the best bet. In fact college kings growth rate is faster than BeingAdik when it was first released and i still have figure out whats the reason. Anyone mind explaining?
Intertwined deserves more love.

im wondering if this game will become sad at the end like acting lessons
I've seen a few people say "DPC likes dark endings," and similar opinions, but Acting Lessons is the ONLY other game he's ever made. Unless we think DPC is like M. Night Shyamalan, I don't know why we would assume that Being a DIK is going to be the same.

Clearly, the story has some sad elements. For example, we already know that whatever happens with Bella will not be happy in the end ("If I'd known then why she was crying, I would never have kissed her that night." or some such is what the MC narration says in that season 1 scene in the library). And we see that Quinn, Mona, Maya, Sage, and plenty of other characters are struggling with things. Jade is unhappy in her marriage, Sally is perhaps a drug addict, Nicole is a lonely, struggling single mom, the list goes on and on. These storylines are going to play out to varying degrees over the coming episodes. I love this, as these add real depth and nice doses of reality to the story. But will there be a "holy shit, they shot Jill!" kind of moment? I think not, and DPC has repeatedly asked people to stop spreading rumors and assuming that based on Acting Lessons.

I think that Bella has some dark stuff in her past for sure. But I'm really hoping that MC will help her overcome that and they can still have a happy ending. I'm REALLY HOPING HERE, DPC. Please don't hurt my feelings.

Vinland - Vikings. Ginger. Win.

Yeah i think we will have plenty of mini games and free roams than usual in episode 7 because we need to balance experience levels and skills for the MC and DIKs brothers in order to repair the mansion, what tasks to be given to each of DIK brothers, working for money etc - Yeah the window cost $65 though. I think this is also one of the reason why episode 7 will be bigger than previous episodes.
I think we will finish up the mansion mini game in ep. 7. I liked it for the most part, but I don't want it to drag on for too long. I want the DIK mansion cleaned up in time for my long-awaited Halloween party. :)

I wonder if there'll be any consequence for using a save editor to edit money on the mansion mini game.

You mean if the game will break if you complete everything too soon, or if DPC will code something sneaky in to see if you made impossible progression and undermine you?

Probably not. Different rooms being complete will result in the various rooms having cleaned up renders, but an actual "Yay we've finished" scene my not play at the right time.

I pretty much cleaned up the entire mansion in the first few sessions and maxed out everyone's stats (so they can all clean a room in one go on their own). Got about three rooms left and they are done...

Lol like a week ago some scrub (probably from here) came and asked DPC for help with this bug that was bricking his game right and DPC was like "that bug only occurs with a pirated copy of the game. Please use official release"

Shit had me in stitches. But yeah what you said shazba about him adding something sneaky.
