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

Honestly? I think Being a DIK is better written than Acting Lessons. Acting Lessons was decent, really got that 'bro' feeling with Liam but the

Being a DIK does a great job of fleshing out the individual relationships between MC and every other character, although the drama feels kind of cheap sometimes.

Maybe I've just outgrown teen issues as source of drama, but in BaDIK it feels cheap most of the time, not sometimes. The problem is that even more serious issues, like Maya's financial troubles are handled quite poorly. As for relationships, taken individually they might seem okay, but when you take it as a whole, MC having equally deep relationships with multiple characters is just unrealistic. Not to mention making him appear like a kid that can't make up his mind, which he's written as half the time.

Yeah, I realize it's a 'college experience' game, and true, it does tug the heartstrings sometimes, but when you distance yourself a bit and look at the big picture, you'll see it's not all that 'perfect'. By comparison AL had deeper relationships with fewer characters, but that made it seem more focused. Whether the twist was needed or not is a matter for debate, but it was relatively well plotted at least.

And finally - what's with all the unnecessary padding in BaDIK already. If you trim the fat the game would be ~30% shorter, much faster to develop and be way more focused on what matters instead of the random 'mini' and 'party' games.

Derek knows. All the DIKs found out when Jacob vouched for the MC during the end of Hell Week.
[...]

If Maya never asks, then that's that. Additionally, seeing as the incident occurred before Maya designated Quinn as the enemy, she probably wouldn't hold much of a grudge (hopefully).

If anyone's gonna go for both Maya and Quinn, I expect there to be crucial choices which may potentially collapse one of the routes and resulting in a shattered relationship between them and the MC.

You are right there, but Derek wants his sis to be happy. If Maya goes to him crying about how the MC KEEPS fucking everything that moves (which Derek is aware of), I expect Derek to take Maya's side. Sure, in Ep6 he says they are playing it open for the time, but I am not sure Maya really understands how wide a net (My MC) has thrown.

About Queen and Maya ... I don't see Queen breaking up with the MC. I see Maya furious and Queen giving her a victory middle finger of "I got your man".

There are a lot of very interesting girls in this game, and I wouldn't fault anyone for picking any of them as their personal favorite. To me, the best girl is Quinn. I know she is a slut, and toxic, and a bitch... She is just so irresistible though, and I know she has a heart of gold under that monster front she puts out. I know she has done a lot of bad things to people that didn't deserve it. She is more sinner than saint, some may even describe her as evil but its not all her fault. If you can win her heart, I know she would be loyal as fuck.

I personally don't see it as a porn game. For me it is a real game for adults. DPC puts a lot of effort into making the player emotionally attached to the characters. The game has depth and you can read that in the official walkthrough.

Y'all are joking, right? A game for adults might have a sex scene or two, but this one is literally built around them. Sure, there is a story to hang them on, but the lewd scenes take up more time than any other scene, and the "rewards" are all lewd pictures, and the scenes you can replay are all sex scenes. It's a porn game. A very good porn game, but a porn game.

 

[Lightaces]

People need to STRONGLY STOP saying a game is not porn. YES IT IS. Every thread with a half decent story game, people overly attached say it's not a porn game, stop bullshitting. It's a completely porn game. You have sex on rooftops, in public, you cheat, MMF, anal, drugs, MILF, prostitution with very little build up and reason behind other than having a big dick.

Please somebody start a fucking compaign to end this bullshit. If it wasn't a porn game it would explicitly have "no sex content" tag as games that are not porn games DO ACTUALLY have that tag.

I, back in the pre-streaming days of the internet, had a thing for Victorian era porn novels. They had stories. I mean, they were novels, after all. But they were ABOUT the sex scenes. Because they were porn. Like this game.

Look Basically,

A Porn Game has only sexual content. It does not include any other aspects. It has only sex in it and nothing else.

An Adult Visual Novel contains Adult-Related topics like Sexual content, Violence, Drugs, Murder, Drama, Trafficking, etc.

BaDIK is an Adult Visual Novel. It has other aspects besides sexual content.

I would say that porn game is not an appropriate term for this and most of the games here.

Most of the Games here are AVN's. There is a difference b/w Adult content and Porn content.

Yeah, just, no. Look, GTA is a game for adults. As the Supreme Court said, "I know it when I see it," and this is a porn game. The story, good (for porn) as it is, is secondary. You can, so far, bang 4-5 strippers, almost everyone in the HOT house, a teacher. I don't know where you got the idea that porn can't have a story, but you are just wrong. It's only in the last 20-30 years that anyone made porn which didn't have some degree of story. Or what, is Debbie Does Dallas not porn too?

No no no what are you talking about ?! Folks GTA is a porn game since We can have sex in it....

 

[dalli_x]

There are people who just don't understand the difference between adult content and pornography.

 

[dalli_x]

Jacob has something to tell us about what happens when the MC is a male slut.

Do you mean you want to start ep7?

If so, then just download the patch file, follow the instructions and you are good to go.

If you have used walkthrough mod before then update it. If not then you are good to go.

 

[dalli_x]

Could it be that Isabella is 45 years old?
Take a look at the two screenshots. If we assume that Isabella attended college at 18, take the date from the flyer, and then offset it against the in-game date, we arrive at the age of 45.

Oh yes it's possible. You've got some fucking sharp eyes Dalli

But Bella hates when someone discusses her age...

 

[Kukipett]

No she is not 45, i guess i have seen that she was 36 in a dialogue, Cathy is 38 but Jade is 40+

The date on the flyer is the foundation date of the sorority. (established 1990)

 

[dalli_x]

I'm watching the scene when Jill tells the MC that she had a date with Rusty. Now it occurred to me that maybe DPC is making us aware of what happens when the MC is like Tommy and Rusty was once like that. That is, impulsive, a partygoer, and a cheater. That would mean that the MC has fun in college, but in the long run becomes unhappy because he missed his chance.

There are key moments in life and if you miss them, you might not get a second chance.

Oh yeah I just remembered it. No dialogue in the game specifically says this but in ep5 in Bella's house, when Bella starts to discuss her college life, she says that 18 years ago. If we say that she started college at 18 then she could be possibly 36.

She's a young looking 36 if so. I would've said late 20s. I could believe Cathy's that old, and Jade is definitely over that, but Isabella always seemed a bit younger.

im not sure Quinn should feel honored or pissed that you think she's a toxic slut and a bitch
but you find her interisting ...

We were talking about Maya's studies . we know its social work .
i assume its gonna have to do with troubled girls in a broken/messed up homes .
(based of her own story , and quinns as well for that matter
yes yes Quinn had it much worse - shit home is shit home get over it)

im not expecting it but it could be fun to see Quinn finding out about it and doing 180
on Maya , just for that reson . (but that would make story more complicated
so i dont think there is much chance of it happening)

compare this to Big Brother . BB was just as popular as BaDIK in its day (heck it still has
games coming out trying to copy it) there was a story but story was 2nd fiddle .
BaDIK for most of us is other way around where story takes priority before lewd scenes

Would we still play it without lewd scenes ? Maybe , Deluca Family has single scene (of Grace masturbating)
half the story is about Lunas abuse .

BaDIK could still be popular without lewd scenes . Maybe more so , the fan base would be different .

Oh yes it's possible. You've got some fucking sharp eyes Dalli
