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

[Holy Bacchus]

What would be the % of the people who saved Megan in AL, would it reach 5%?

Even though they're fictional, I still feel somewhat bad saying this, but I didn't want to save Megan if it meant just getting her alone. Melissa was better and the 2 of them together would have been great, but Megan solo was not an appealing prospect.

That's what makes M&J so different in this game; both are great, in my view, and although I do prefer Maya, it's like a 55/45 split in terms of favourability, whereas with Melissa and Megan it would probably be more of a 90/10 split.

Can he fuck her?
Did he fuck her?
Will he fuck her?
Is he a fucker?

Duh

in my first runthru i went with megan, then started over with melissa, and finished with, melissa choice,but rejected her for smurf, or something like that'

melissa was loveable creature but scared to share feelings, megan was cute af, but simply more interesting in acting than a relationship, smurf seemed to be the inbetween choice for me. all three had baggage. pick your baggage an roll with it in your best friends "blackmobile"

I begin to be restless i need my trimestral BaDick so hard

I love that game, my number 1 way above the rest of the field

 

[Alfagrem]

ah,ok, but I wouldn't say they are unexpected consequences...

when you are at the cabin for the game you are already bound to Meghan, regardless of what you think as a player

You're bound to that person from the very start of the game, you just didn't know it.

I wasn't into either of the two girls you have to make the big choice over and I'd of been quite happy to not invite a total stranger into my house and get involved in her tedious life (although I would of missed out on Smurf) and instead ended up with Nursey.

I know we all have different tastes in the LI's we pursue but I don't particularly enjoy having to grind through scenes with a character because my MC is 'forced' into pursuit for no other reason then the author tells me that I love her. For that reason AL was a major grind for me but in DiK the only path making no sense to me that I have to double-click through is the Jill path.

This thread takes too much energy to follow. It's like a part-time job to read all of the posts. I find myself skipping multiple pages each time I visit, which is a shame. There are a lot of very good posts here... just too many posts overall.

 

[DaBigD]

yeah theres a few games out there where your bound to a primary girl, and they seemed forced in that respect, which is why they become controversial or not liked. but most of those forced games eventually allow you to reject her for others. just have to wade thru the being forced parts.

It depends on the game. WVM is an example of a game that you're forced to keep the relationship going. At this point i think the dev does this as a badge of honor, or something. Where it all began have one of the most direct and satisfiyng ways to resolve things. You can just break up with the asshole GF that the MC starts the game with after some chapters having to put up with her bullshit.

BaDIK luckily doesn't have THAT character. I think M&J are the closest to it, since the other 3 LIs kind of become side characters if you're not on their path. Bella in particular, if you're not on her path you hardly pass any time with her in some episodes. Jill and Sage feel a little better integrated in the general story, in particular Sage.

True, nothing irritates me more in a porn game than beginning the story with a girlfriend (that I invariably can't stand). Part of the fun in AVNs is choosing whom to pursue. And the pursuit itself is where a lot of the enjoyment comes (heh). A good AVN gives you choices, a wide variety of LIs, and doesn't overly punish you for sampling the various dishes at the buffet line.

It's a DPC produced AVN, there's going to be more punishment than is necessary by the time this ends.

That bothers me. In a college game, things overall should be relatively fun and we should be able to play the field a bit. I assume that is what people do in college (before all the craziness in the world). You don't need to find your life partner in the first couple weeks of your first semester as a teenager. Some drama is ok, but I hope DPC keeps things light. BaDIK is more successful than AL because it's fun. Drama for the sake of drama? No thank you. Please no house fires, no deadly illnesses, no serial killer murder sprees. Just a fun college comedy. Is that too much to ask?

Hey guys, took a long long break from the game, played it again yesterday from the beginning. Didn't even realise the next episode will come out soon(ish). Anyway, I'm excited.
Really hope there will be more Sage on the next episode. I remember being extremely disappointed with her absence in the last one, but it made sense.

Don't worry, you've got at least two lewd scenes with Sage from what we can tell from the previews. One most certainly in MC's room. In all the previews I've seen, Sage is fully recovered from her illness and very grateful to MC for helping her.

Oh, my...
Now you have my attention.

Have you seen any college comedies from last 30 years? Those average 3 house fires and a few date rapes a movie.
The most wholesome college comedy I ever saw is Van Wilder, so think on that for a second.

 

[mpa71]

Been replaying recently that over 8 hours soundtrack until EP7 drop and it's still so good.
I can replay the whole game in the head by just listen to it.

I had no idea they could be that bad! I recently watched the Revenge of the Nerds movies because I wanted to see some likely 1980s and 1990s flicks that DPC says he is into. I think that is about the extent of my college comedies. Nerds movies were corny, but fun. Nothing too severe.

Judging from the previews and tweets she'll be in it quite a bit.

If you view the Nerds movies thru a modern perspective, you'll spot the date rapey behaviour and absolutely not okay bullshit right away.

Those movies did not age well. Funny still, but more in a 'holy shit how did this get past Ratings committee' kinda horror comedy way.

On a separate note, I was thinking about something. By end of Ep 6, it's possible to lock in permanent DIK or CHICK affinity. By Ep 7, it'll be almost too hard not to if one is on a given path and not neutral.

Isn't locking people into a moral affinity scale something that usually happens towards the end of a game's story? Or maybe DPC didnt think that thru, I dunno.

Oh yeah, the moon bounce scene! Yeah, like anyone would ever be happy that they were tricked into having sex with someone who disgusted them. I thought the Greek Games part was pretty fun though. That's something that might be interesting to include in BaDIK
