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

[Marley300]

When i was younger i used to go in a bar where a lot of whores, pimps and any kind of perverts where spending the night after "work". I remember that there was a guy i knew from highschool, who's name was Jean Luc, who had become a trans and was "working" there under the name of Virginie. At that time we called him/her Monsieur Virginie!!

But i have a question why that Madame is getting so much attention, yes she seems to be a higgh class MILF who has a kink to work in a strip club, so the mask i guess. Who is she, maybe some of the DIK's mother (hello Dalli!)

Damm ! I guess you can never know what your high school friends could become in the future.

And now that you mention it Madame does look like one of the Diks...

what do you find hypocritical about Jade?

within the limits of the context of a porn game, therefore inevitably male-oriented by nature, she seems to me a coherent character

she's a wife who, despite being in a weak position in relation to her husband, both economically and professionally, stands up to him even publicly. a woman who isn't afraid to launch into an adventure (let's compare her to Bella) that has no sentimental ambitions, it's sex, very pleasurable sex.

Jade seems to me a strong character and, if we must use the term, feminist in a positive sense.

Being a college professor in a position of authority, but yet actively engaging in the sexual predation of a student in her charge. A key tenet of feminism and equality of genders is fighting against the power imbalance often associated with relationships such as teacher/student, boss/empolyee. Disclaimer, I'm totally fine with Jade doing this to my MC. I would have a loved to have gotten it on with one of my teachers. Just pointing out the hypocrisy of a first wave feminist doing it. Fem dom and feminism are not one and the same; although, they can be related.

Another (to a lesser degree) would be Jade's apparent superficial dislike of Bella. Perhaps something else has happened between the two off screen, but they seem friendly enough prior to Burke asking for a threesome. Bella's great crime? Refusing to fuck a Burke. Is she not her own strong, independent woman? Can she not decide what man she wants to sleep with without incurring the wrath of another "feminist" woman? And Burke being overly attracted to Bella isn't Bella's fault. Jade should be solely upset at her husband for that, not Bella.

the fact that Jade goes with a student is part of the context of the story, the story of a porn game whose protagonist is a student

and her behaviour doesn't seem particularly predatory to me (minimal compared to MC's in general), her approach to MC is very playful, she wants to have fun

we don't know how it went between Jade and Bella, for sure Bella doesn't like Jade either, even towards Cathe she would have reason to be angry always because of Burke but she forgives her so I don't see a jealousy pattern there. the impression is that Jade doesn't forgive Bella for judging her negatively ( and considering Bella's apparent inflexible morals it's no wonder)



Derek, I take everything you write seriously, damn it.

Man, now I'm really starting to like Madame. First Chip's post now yours. As hideous as I initially found Madame, if she turned out to be Tommy's mother, I'd be hitting that VIP room the very next time Tommy and I were there together. I'd want him to see me going in there with her and I'd give him the old wink and two gun finger point that MC gave Tybalt.

I'd probably throw up during the act, but it would be worth it to see the look on Tommy's face when I walked out zipping up my pants. DPC needs to put Monica in the game regardless...I want her.

Anyhow, I don't find this game to be subversive in any way, honestly speaking feminist reprezentation in this game is spot on, i know 2 gay dudes Who look Chad's boyfriend so that's spot on as well.

I roll my eyes at the boogieman Christian father trope though. I don't even get how Maya's oppresed, she gets to live by herself, no roommate to disturb her, father even pays for her shitty social worker degree, is that the worse a christian father can do? LOL, maybe Maya should get a job if she believes her father to be so ofensive

Lets remove the religious element here for a moment. Maya's father has a key to her dorm. He can come and go as he pleases in his adult daughters dorm room. Can you not see the problem here? Do you not see how this can be considered oppressive? Do you consider this normal behavior from any parent?

I would also add Josy, Heather and Tania in that scenario ! That way we would fuck his mother, his girlfriend, his side bitch and his step-sister at the same time.
And, of course, him tied up in a chair to make sure that he doesn’t miss a thing ! Sorry Tommy you shouldn’t have been such a shitty father. #CuckTommy

Yeah man, I second that. She is such a hypocrite that she punished mc in sexual labor in janitor closet instead of physical labor. Which feminist does that, shame.

never said father is in his right mind, kids usually lie to these types of parents & do their own thing, like derek does, there's nothing specially oppressive about him.

Make sure drivers are up to date and that your phone/computer has enough space. This game eats gigs like a black hole. Also, using mods can mess things up. BaDIK runs pretty well, so if you are crashing, it's likely your setup and not the game. You might need to share your "An exception has occurred" error screen so the computer gurus on the thread can figure out exactly what went wrong.

 

[magaclaawe]

You should read properly and also everything.

From your original concept, has there been any significant deviations?
Aside from scrapping the idea that the game would be a prequel to Acting Lessons, the outline since hasn’t changed much. It has been expanded with more story events and sub-plots.
So far, the only deviations are that some events have been introduced earlier than intended, while some events have been pushed back for later.

Will there be some relation between Being a DIK and Acting Lessons or any future installments?
No, the games aren't related more than that Being a DIK was initially meant to be a prequel to Acting Lessons. Some ideas coined in Acting Lessons made it into Being a DIK, like the fraternity name and Hell Week. You'll even see Angela and Hedwig sporting the HOT sorority clothes in a dorm not too dissimilar to Maya's dorm in Acting Lessons.
Despite some of the similarities, it's best to treat them as independent works of fiction. Their stories won't intertwine at any point.

What im talking about is this part "Aside from scrapping the idea that the game would be a prequel to Acting Lessons, the outline since hasn’t changed much. It has been expanded with more story events and sub-plots."
That means the main story of the game was already done before it was changed. So the story was written with Acting Lessons in mind and not much was changed.
Since the story was already made and not changed even after it was decided that its not a preguel to Acting Lessons that means that at end it must make sense with Acting Lessons in mind. And because of AL we know that the MC will be alone at the end just so he could meet Megan. We could assume that if it was made as a preguel for AL Derek would be Liam.
Who cares that now badik and AL are not connected the story was not changed because of that.
"the outline since hasn’t changed much. It has been expanded with more story events and sub-plots."
thats what i meant and what i was talking about. It makes the story pointless we know what will happen at the end. MC will be alone to sell crypto.
In a sense our choices wont matter at all just like in AL.

 

[Crystaldom]

If you can't see having a key to his daughter's dorm room is exhibiting oppressive behavior, in a controllling way, I can't help you. Unless this is normal where you live...

Even ignoring the points people have already made, I don't think your logic holds. The problems with the MC's marriage (in Acting Lessons) happened years after their wedding, whereas BaDIK is very unlikely to last beyond college (if that). It's been a while since I played AL (and I'm sure as hell not replaying it!), but as I recall the MC met Anna during college.

If I'm right, presumably the original story of AL would have been a specific variation of Anna's endings in proto-BaDIK. There's no reason to assume all the other endings would have to play out the same way. Even Anna could have had endings where she and the MC learn not to take their relationship for granted, thus averting the bad start to AL before it even happened. (And thus allowing Leah to continue her killing spree, you monster!)

Of course, I imagine this is the reason DPC discarded the prequel concept in the first place: it would be way too much work to write a VN with multiple endings only to serve as a prequel to a game with a single beginning. So I strongly suspect that even the early versions of BaDIK's story had already moved beyond the AL prequel idea.

You do raise an interesting point though. If Anna was meant to be a character in BaDIK, who would she have been? Assuming there's any validity to exercise, it couldn't be Maya, Josy or Bella. That leaves the side girls, Jill, and Sage. None seem like great fits, but I will admit I could conceive of Sage starting an affair to rekindle the MC's interest in her if their marriage drifted apart (assuming she'd already tried more direct methods, of course). And I could certainly see Quinn do it.

As I said, I think the prequel idea was thrown out early so there probably isn't a direct analog to Anna in this game. But it's a way of looking at our cast that I hadn't really considered before.

I knew I could count on you to bring reasonability . The way I see it is extremely simple, During Acting Lesson, He started working on an idea of how cool it will be to show the College Years of MC. or the main character could have been Liam. The inspiration was simply the Dik fraternity. And very early HE decide to scratch off the idea to have any connection to AL. Probably for the reasons you just said, what would be the point of it if you know how the story end. So, new Main Character, nothing to do with AL.
The basic "outline" was life in a fraternity. And this is the part that has not change. and With the New MC, who has no restriction, because he has no connection to the previous Game. Everything is different, including the possible endings.
so in short, this is not the Hobbit, to the Lord of the Rings .

Wasn't the MC of AL fat and his best friend had an Afro in college in a flashback to their college time in AL?
Or do I remember that one incorrectly, it's been years since I finished AL.
So I kind of always assumed that at the end of the game, those two would become new members of the D.I.K. fraternity.
Like in the second or third year the MC of D.I.K. hosts the Hell Week for those two, before then leaving college himself.

My good man. I've never played AL, so I can't do anything with Megan and so on. The MC will not necessarily end alone.

But I must confess to my shame, that I should have followed my advice myself. After rereading, I realized that my theory about the time line is not a theory at all, but a fact that DPC itself mentions.

"So far, the only deviations are that some events have been introduced earlier than intended, while some events have been pushed back for later."

I assume that something bad will happen to the MC that it can survive. The trigger for that is probably Josy. No, Josy will not die. Josy has a past that Maya may know something about. In Ep2, we learn from Josy herself that she sees cheating as a way out of unhappiness under certain circumstances. Josy mentioned in EP6 in passing that she has already had experience with a threesome. And there are also other indications that Josy is absolutely not an innocent. If the MC finds out Josy's past, it will throw him off track and a disaster will happen. He will overreact again. Also from EP2 we know that Josy has not had any human contact for a long time. But that doesn't make sense. In EP1 she works in the mini market. Human contact. She also has her date with the MC in EP1. Human contact. Shit, even Steve's ass slap is human contact. So it turns out that parts of EP1, EP2 and EP3 don't fit together.

Why hasn't Josy had human contact in EP2 for a while? You don't have to make the argument that she was separated from Maya because Josy had human contact in EP1.

Maybe I missed something, but even though I understand DPC had initially intended BaDIK to be in the same “universe” as AL, I never had the impression that the MC of both games was ever intended to be the same character.

Has anyone got a quote or reference that actually indicates DPC ever intended them to be the same person?

I mean, you guys aren’t the same mob who thought Jill was the mc’s aunt are you?

On a side note, holy shit I’ve never had so many posts deleted in one hit before! Not complaining, I think the whole thread was off-topic for the entire day!

 

[dalli_x]

Lol. I would not just agree!!!

I already made this theory myself a month or two ago.

You should also read the DIK birthday party for the MC again. This is before the madam. The word motherfucker is mentioned.

But for Josy and Maya fans, this should be a no-no. It does not come so well when the boyfriend fucks the stepmother.
