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

[fiamin]

Guys can anyone share a save before chapter 7 my is broken.

 

[ChipLecsap]

As soon as MC corrupts Jill in season 3, expect DIK crazed Jill at the Pink Royce giving private dances to randy randoms for her fix!

"Pink Royce" . She buys the Pink Rose and rename it after herself ?! I like it

Hello, Could someone tell me who the girl in left is? Does she come in quinn route? I haven't tried all the routes yet. Would really appreciate if someone could help me.

Definitely Ana from Acting Lessons. I think somebody's custom render here is showing you the MC with the two "worst outcome" endings that were likely to happen.

Edit : The Jill Fan render is made by Dumitas

It's glaringly obvious that it's a fan render. You know how you can tell? Jill is smiling and doesn't look like a creepy, freaky little goblinoid.

Dumitas does good work.

If people want to play out that route, more power to'em, but I won't be on that team. My MC will be too busy raising his sprog from the other girls he's chosen to make a life with. Or maybe Derek will be raising them, because one of the ladies will have killed MC. THat's OK, too.

I was attached to few games like this, but man, this really is something else. Now I understand why this game isn't for people in tough period of life. I really never had such a connection with a game. Respect and thanks to the DrPinkCake for making this masterpiece. The soundtrack, animations, graphics, story and characters, everything is perfect.

the problem with depressed people is we actually have more time so we can play this game even more then others.
and we don't exactly learn our (acting) lessons .

and we don't exactly learn our (acting) lessons .

And that's my biggest fear with each new chapter that comes out for this game.
Will *this* be the chapter that drops an emotional bomb so big I have to give up the story?

Thus far in BaDIK DPK has done a wonderful job of making us face how cruel the world can be.
But he's done so in a way that hasn't been over-bearing.
The revelation of how much of a monster Maya's father is was well fore-shadowed. So it wasn't a harsh shock when we finally saw it.
We know Jill and Bella both have significant scars. But, again, we've been warned in advance and we're getting the clues to their personal horror stories in digestible doses. So, hopefully, when the reveal comes it will be sad, but emotionally manageable. And it will help that these are things that have happened other characters not 'us' (as proxied by the MC).

Please DPK,
Don't repeat Lessons and make 'us' be the ones that have to make the horrific choice in the 'here and now' of the game.
Teach us what you need to by way of telling us about what happened to the characters we love in the past.
And show us how to be better humans by giving us story options to help them heal those past traumas.
Just don't make 'me' choose again. I'm not a super-hero. I'm not equipped to face the hero's dilemma.

Burke's in deep:

• He admits to Jade he's had sex with three students. Some people have suggested that's Riona, Melanie and Sarah.
• He deletes Mona's "scholarship" after she bails on the whole "Quinn's Restaurant" business. Mona never had a scholarship, that's why she jumps at the chance of free tuition. Suddenly she has a scholarship. Then she stops the "free tuition" path, suddenly no scholarship. Burke is therefore directly linked with Quinn's Restaurant.

Bill Clinton fucked his secretary that was like a 3. Arnold Schwarzenegger fucked his housekeeper that was like a 2 or lower. Dudes will do stupid shit, no matter how educated or prominent.

It's pretty hinted that Burke is the tuition guru of the prostitution ring, making it an assumption that he is the ring-leader and not some John. Prolly just allows Quinn to keep russling with him being the main client.

Be careful, I'm talking about a student prostitute, that is to say girls who work for Quinn. Not a simple student.

Already a teacher / student relationship would be problematic if it were known, if you add prostitution to the equation it becomes catastrophic for the teacher.

And on top of that you say Burke would trade scholarships to give them to prostitutes?

If this is the case, it will really have to be well justified (for example he is blackmailed).

But the diary seems like it's leading to something big, and I wouldn't mind some one on one time with Lynette.

If Lynette's family is related to someone at college, the journal will be the best way to tell us.

My pet theory at the end of Ch 5 was 'Aunt Jill'. But that's since been quashed.
Saw a post a little ways back that suggested maybe prep Rich.
Personally, I think 'Cousin Sage' would be a funny twist. We know she comes from a wealthy family, so... it's a possibility

Does anyone else think Isabella looks a lot like Lucy from the show Parks and Recreation?

First there was the crazy aunty Jill theory and now this cousin Sage... what's next our mc is actually a Burke so Jade's mommy play wasn't that far from the truth?

She isn't from a wealthy family (at least wealthy compared to others we know of, like B&R). Sage says at the party that her dad is trying to impress people/make connections. So he isn't rich enough to draw attention, he's the one that gives attention.

Judging by the size of the mansion in the flashback, Lynette's family is minted. A family that rich isn't trying to suck up to others at the Prep party.

Another thing is Sage and MC have had sex multiple times. DPC has said no incest is happening.

No way Sage is related to MC.

 

[Master Duck79]

question does DPC do all the programing himself or did he hired a programmer ?

 

[EmperorGus]

1st. I said 'funny twist', not that I was placing bets
2nd. If Lynette's a Burke, then Jade is only related by marriage.
But... It'd be fun to watch Tybalt's head implode upon finding out he's related to MC

 

[Ripe]

First there was the crazy aunty Jill theory and now this cousin Sage... what's next our mc is actually a Burke so Jade's mommy play wasn't that far from the truth?

Well, he is almost certainly related to someone we already met... and probably met in Episode 1. So the only question is to whom is MC related?

Both Jill and Sage are potential choices (not very inspired ones, but potential), but it really could be anyone. And we shouldn't consider only girls, guys are also an option for relations... I don't think MC is a Burgmeister but it would be funny twist if it turns out Dawe is his first cousin or something like that.

Jill won't fingerbang if you're a DIK.

Being a DIK is not douchebag, it's just not being an emotional lesbian.

Dik route is kind of a douchbag, but to be honest that's kinda the games fault, i really hate that this game also comes across with those morality systems where you are ridiculously evil or excesively good (or in this case, you are either an asshole or a pussy)

Is one of the few flaws i see on it

 

[JETracktor]

So the only question is to whom is MC related?

I think MC is Rich's cousin. MC got inheritance not from his grandfather but his grandmother who passed (in what universe the grandpa who hates his grandson sends him his mother diary?). I don't remember any hints from the story that tells that Lynette is the only daughter - her possible sister or brother may be mom\dad of Rich. Rich isn't Burke either - his (and possible MC's too) grandma died and noone of Burke give a shit.

 

[BTimeDev]

This is a great game, good job Doc.

I managed to get this done by the end of Round 7 (with enough points to raise the first group to 90% Clean for good measure) without buying any of the skill boosters. I'm scheduled to complete repairs on the mansion and order the windows at the start of Round 8. At that point I can start buying the Work of the remaining DIKs up as we run up the score in case we need to bankroll, say, a Halloween party.

You have described the path of action which fits my playstyle. Now, I just have to figure out how to arrive at that destination from the starting point. (I don't yet understand how the minigame works.)

Seriously, I was enjoying this game until faced with the "renovation," but I haven't touched it since. After a long, hard day of work, the last thing I want in the middle of my relaxation time is more "work."

Only if you go full tilt to one side or the other.
It's perfectly reasonable to do a little of both DiK and Chick, just lean to the side needed for the route you're on.
As an example. On my Maya & Josey and Jill/Bella saves (both of which require you lean to the Chick side), my MC still stands his ground and beats the crap out of jocks when the choice comes up.

IMO it's one of the story's great strengths that you can mix and match your DiK/Chick choices as you like.

I just don’t think people pay attention. You gotta read between the lines and wilfully misinterpret everything as incest to get the whole story in this game.

My take on what we know so far is Lynette’s twin sister probably married Patrick (making Maya the MC’s cousin) before dying simultaneously due to twin stuff.

Due to Ep2 I got the impression that before marrying Tommy’s father, Josy’s mother was married to MC’s grandfather making it pretty obvious Josy is actually MC’s aunt (Jill was a bluff).

If you look at Neils thumbs you can see a distinct genetic feature that only one other character has... Sage. It’s not 100% proof she’s his daughter but Chekhov’s incestual gun would make it a fair bet she’s actually the MC’s sister. Why draw such attention to both their thumbs?

I don’t think I even have to explain why Bella is related to the MC, they have basically outright said it. In fact I’m 90% sure DPC did it was that blatant. If not just look at how clean her axe and boots were and tell me she isn’t related to him.

As for Jill. She’s a clever one. The double bluffs in her story confused people but if you follow the threads she’s almost certainly legally MC’s grandmother but I’m betting you anything the big twist is she’s genetically his daughter.

The clues are all there, just some people are too ignorant to see it.
