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

[Marley300]

I doubt it will end at season 3. My thought was it will have 4 seasons and 16 episodes. That's two more full seasons and several years. That will be plenty of time to tie things up nicely and still have lots of fun before people start dying and ladies get pregnant. A fifth season would be jumping the shark.
Solve some mysteries, give me a Halloween party, hopefully a Christmas, and really hopefully a time skip to spring so Bella can teach MC and the DIKs can have spring break and I'll be quite satisfied. After that I'll be ready to leave B&R behind and excited to see DPC's next project.

I really want a time skip too, so we can have all those parties and events faster !
It's still hard to think that episodes 1 to 7 takes place in more or less 30 days

Episode 1 : 1 week
Episode 2 : 4 days
Episode 3 : 3 days
Episode 4 : 2 days
Episode 5 : 1.5 days
Episode 6 : 1 week
Episode 7 : 10 days

If the MC started college in September, we can assume that now he's in early to mid October... If DPC going to end the season with the Halloween party, he’d better pick up the pace ! I really want the whole game to be Mc's first year of college, with as many different parties, events and holidays as possible ! And please new classes !!!! I'm so done with the English mini game that one sucks Bring on Bella's class and that taboo relationship !
And please keep the pregnancies in an epilogue after college, I don't want to add baby drama into the game that's too much.

Yes, I can't handle any more English classes. Please DPC, make it stop. I'll even gladly sit and listen to the feminists over having to do one more spelling contest. Bella's class Now we're talking! Was ep. 7 really 10 days? It's true, DPC will have to speed up ep. 8 to make it to 31 Oct, but it would be such a missed opportunity if he doesn't make the Halloween party happen. The timing is perfect, not only with the holiday itself, but with the completion of the repairs on the DIK mansion.

 

[Roelandt]

Not sure about the coverage, but I do know they apparently got that siccness for the thiccness.
Nothing wrong with that. In a land of skinnies, a woman of size will be worshipped.



Wow, I had no idea Summer Saga was still in production. Reveals another problem. When games continue for too long they start showing their age in terms of visuals. As a dev you either have to stick with the originals until the end or upgrade at some point in the cycle, which can be jarring when the changeover happens (unless you redo every render including the ones from the early episodes...game "Shut Up and Dance" is attempting to do this...a lot of work).

BaDIK early graphics are still good so not a big deal. Animations have really improved, though. I'll be interested to see if we get another jump in visual quality at ep. 8.

What are you guys even talking about?

 

[Kellermann]

It's a mish mosh. You have to work your way back through the threads to see the original posts to understand the context.

Gender study is all right it brought us Jade and KRJ and it does have it funny moments.

Yeah, I think it's about 10 days... It started Friday night after McAllen's, then there was the HOT party next weekend and right now the MC is at the gym with Josy on Monday. I'm sure DPC can pull off some small time skip so we can get to the juicy parts, that would be the smartest move.

IIRC EP 7 cover a month, while jogging mc said something like " and just like that a month has pass". I could be wrong, I haven't played the game since its release.

EP 1 to 6 cover 3 weeks, so I guess 2 months or 1.5 months have passed

Episode 1 Week 1	Episode 2 Weeks 1 & 2	Episode 3 Week 2	Episode 4 Week 2	Episode 5 Week 2	Episode 6 Weeks 2 & 3
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday	Thursday night Friday Saturday Sunday Monday	Monday night Tuesday Wednesday	Wednesday night Thursday Friday Saturday morning and afternoon	Saturday evening & night Sunday morning and afternoon	Sunday night Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday

Good you kept the exact days count ! I just estimated the days of memory !
After checking the jogging montage again, I didn't find "A month has passed". Just him recapping his first month and how days became more mundane after Hell Week, no sign of a time skip...

Sage and Josy also invite the MC to the HOT party on the weekend so a month’s time skip, doesn’t make sense storywise...
I'm pretty sure that there will be more weekly time skip like the montage ! Even if it changes the pace of the game. The first season was "hell week" for a reason ! Every hour of every day counted !
Now only the parties and the hangouts with the LI matter

 

[lipe2410]

My loved ones josy and maya deserve a moment just from them to make them overcome one more shudder in their love. I just want to see them happy and I know a very special thing awaits for me if I make them happy. I love maya and josy, josy loves maya and me and maya loves me and josy. That's all that matters.

Somalia is into BBW...classic

That's absolutely true, when i was young a friend of my mom did marry a somalian guy, he was 1.6 m tall and weighted maybe 50 kg but my mom's friend was about 1.7 m tall and weigthed 160 kg at least !!!
That was quite a funny couple!!!, you could believe that that huge woman adopted a little somalian boy

 

[zetsupetsu]

It's the first time I decide to play a full vanilla porn game and wow I'm glad I did.

Production quality is top notch and Sage is just...

I wish there were even more scenes with her.


My only criticism of the game, is the horrendous free roam mode. It feels like a chore everytime and the navigation is just so confusing.

You'd think the fast travel option that eventually comes in would be handy. But since you pretty much have to go everywhere anyway, by the time I know where I want to go it's just as quick to remember how the house is laid out than to find the room I'm looking for in the scroll.

Please though, all future VN developers: please don't have rooms where the default view is facing back the way you just came.

 

[dalli_x]

I believe that DPC is currently planning with 18 EP's. You screenshot.

7cl 38.5%
18cl 99%

But there will not be more than 21 EP's.

Can I just say, before I begin my quote fest, that for the first time in a long time (like since episode 7 dropped), it was fun reading through the comments on this thread. The five pages I just read through since my last post were interesting and funny. Thank you.

This worries me as well. DPC has been working like a mad man for the past several years, hardly any breaks, and cranking out an incredible amount of content. I hope he doesn't lose his focus. If this goes past season 4, then we add years on to the development cycle and goodness knows how many gigs. Shit, players will be able to finish real college before the game is over. And my big worry is episode dev times extending well beyond 6 months. As much as I enjoy BaDIK, I feel like a season 5 (20 episodes) would just be dragging the story on unnecessarily. DPC does have a tendency to stretch out plotlines for longer than they need to be.

Can you imagine still no solid information on Bella's mystery by season 3 end? Or any revelation about the stalker/traitor? And Maya's tuition/daddy drama? Or if Jill is still a virgin by then? Personally, I'd like to see the game wrap up no later than season 4 end (episode 16) and then move on to DPC's next game after he has time to refresh. That is still many years away! I know a lot of people would like to see all four years of BaDIK college, but the game/setting might go stale by that point, especially if some of these mysteries aren't solved soon and new ones introduced.

I agree with this

I'm getting more and more the feeling of "Lost", with the constant impression that for every "answer" that is given at least two new "mysteries" are born, which involves either a lot of planning or just a Lost-like ending

So You Admit it is your Fault ? .
seriously I don't get the Fucking Fuss about it. I can sympathise with ename144, because He's Nerd brain craving for dopamine that numbers gave him. .
But do you guys started to smoke some fucking shit that Quinns gave you ? .

Lately you guys acting very stupid. Nothing indicates that DPC lost purpose or desire or any other shit you came up with.

More Than likely he does not work in specific order. for Example, Episode 6 development, probably not went in this way: I start With Jill Flashback, then, continue with MC x Josy x Maya, meeting with May's father, and then Josy, sex ... etc etc etc.
Creating a Free Roaming is probably more time consuming than create Renders for more simple scenes, like Jill's Flashback.

The important Data was the 2,5 Giga. Ep 7 patch was 3,9 . More than likely he is Half Way.
But if he say something like I created 200 Render and 30 Animation, , enema144 would analyze it , and lets be real, it would feel like very little progress, Because we don't know what kind of content he is Working.

It also probably less Stressful for him, to every week calculate how much render he created to compared to last week.

But first Shazba, then Kellermann and now felicemastronzo, You all inventing thing that are not there. He just did a Q/A recently, where he confirmed how excited he is, how he is grateful that now there is no holding back when its comes to animations, He even take a break before Started ep 8, to regain his energy, and now you assuming he get tired ? Burned out ? Based on what ?

I apologize, but come guys we are better than this

I might have been a little too harsh , I hope I did not offended any of you..
I like to be cautiously Optimistic, not always works. Lets Face it, When this game is done , there is no way it will live up to our expectation. We would Feel he could have done more, or differently.

And this is probably the main Stress factor for him too. He mentioned that once he put behind the Game, he does not want to feel that he could have done more, but I think that is almost impossible.
But We Will see. Right now I don't See, or Feel anything that Indicate that he is G.R.R. Martin, Who was incapable to finish a single book in 10 year, and lost the interest entirely , He just to fucking big of an asshole to admit it to the audience.

Off the top of my head, I don't feel like too much new material was added in the last episode (might explain the typical abysmal discussion in this thread since ep7; there's been nothing new to talk about other than the Madame's poor skin hygiene).

A few things were exposed:

• The mystery woman with glasses was Jill's mom,
• Troy & Chad are an item,
• Jill's virginity was confirmed (and the fact that lemonfreak was wrong all along, she does indeed have a cunt),
• Jill's sister is hotter than Jill (R.I.P.)
• The mystery photo was indeed Jill on her sister's shoulders

There are some nice developments like:

• Lily's new found interest in the mc,
• Quinn's public display of association with the mc,
• Sage actively chasing the mc's affection
• Jill's jealousy (and Quinn's jealousy for that matter)

But I can't think of any new juicy details other than the pending Halloween party.

So I think the story isn't really getting away from itself, but there's still a while to go yet.

Overall it's just a fun goofy story with some low-level drama, but I wonder if things will be amped up eventually. I don't know if the more unpleasant events so far are related and will eventually drive the plot towards its finale, or if the game is just a slice of life at college with its ups and downs.

I think the biggest issue with the game is our obsession with it.

The Game of Thrones TV series took 9 years to complete. I remember watching the first season without any recommendation and instantly being hooked (kinda like when I first played BaDIK). But between season's of GOT I just got on with my life, and when I found out the new season was out, I watched it and so on.

With BaDIK, we're on this board daily obsessing over it, making it a bigger thing than it is, and worrying about enduring the years it will take to complete. If we just fucked off and then later pleasantly discovered a new episode was out, we wouldn't be spending any time worrying about it.

Personally I'm not too worried. I just sensed a change in tone with DPC's posts and mentioned it.

I respect your opinion. For You it's feels okay, if an another Man put his Dick in to your girl Pussy or Ass as long as you are inside of the other hole. . I just don't share this sentiment.
But We all have our Fetish.

The thing with the mmf situation, you shouldn't be sharing your girl with some other dude, you should be fucking their girl with them. That's why the JB & Elena thing works, where as the MC sharing Jill with Tybalt hasn't gained as much traction.

My only criticism of the game, is the horrendous free roam mode. It feels like a chore everytime and the navigation is just so confusing.

But if that is the best part of the game since it is the only opportunity we have to control the MC

You'd think the fast travel option that eventually comes in would be handy. But since you pretty much have to go everywhere anyway, by the time I know where I want to go it's just as quick to remember how the house is laid out than to find the room I'm looking for in the scroll.

Please though, all future VN developers: please don't have rooms where the default view is facing back the way you just came.

Yeah, the events and interactions of the free roams are fine, but the navigation is appalling. He should work with a floor plan and the mc should always face the direction you press, but he's fucking all over the place!

Given how meticulous everything else appears to be, I don't know how he ballsed the freeroam navigation up so badly.

The last time I played the free roam in the DIKs mansion when they all come together for a meal, the quick travel button disappeared and I got pissed off trying to find the table. Found it, but it shouldn't be even remotely confusing to walk around the house.

The technical aspect of the game is fine and AL beginning wasn't awful, but then when I discovered I was going to be stuck with an ugly version of Josy (Meghan), and her insufferable acting practice, I began to zone out. The fire was sweet relief because I was ready to kill that woman myself. Still, the forced "decision" itself was dumb. Add to that a creepy 40-yr old MC who tries to fit in with the 20-yr old crowd.

Yeah, the story just got worse as the game went along and never recovered. I couldn't delete that game fast enough after I finished my one and only playthrough. It's a shit sandwich. Bon appétit

Yes the structure of the game itself is not bad. The coding isn't terrible, the renders aren't terrible. All of that is fine. I personally hated most of the characters, but that still isn't the biggest issue. Something I hardly ever feel when playing a game, watching a movie, or reading a book is utter and complete boredom. When that happens then it's game over (literally and figuratively). That game bored the hell out of me. I didn't care if Liam lived or died. That's how disagreeable I found him. Out of all the completed games on F95 that I have played, AL had the most boring and morose final third. I'm still in awe of how much DPC improved from AL to BaDIK. It's like an artist going from creating a child's finger painting to creating the Mona Lisa.

These are all the reasons why AL did nothing for me as well. Once the mc went into melt down after the fire I completely lost interest.

I did play AL after I'd completed BaDIK up to episode 6, so maybe if it was one of the first AVNs I'd played it may have had a completely different appeal.

I find it's the Ctrl key on my computer. Do they both accomplish the same function?

You have to hold the CTRL key down continuously, whereas you just press TAB once and it speeds through until the next option or next new text. Same outcome but less effort.

I doubt it will end at season 3. My thought was it will have 4 seasons and 16 episodes. That's two more full seasons and several years. That will be plenty of time to tie things up nicely and still have lots of fun before people start dying and ladies get pregnant. A fifth season would be jumping the shark.
Solve some mysteries, give me a Halloween party, hopefully a Christmas, and really hopefully a time skip to spring so Bella can teach MC and the DIKs can have spring break and I'll be quite satisfied. After that I'll be ready to leave B&R behind and excited to see DPC's next project.

We need Spring Break, definitely Spring Break.

Personally I'm not too worried. I just sensed a change in tone with DPC's posts and mentioned it.

BADIK is definitely one of the games I'm most looking forward to the new chapter of, but there are so many other games to distract yourself with, and I'm someone who almost only plays complete games with very few exceptions.

the problem with the comparison with TV series is that more or less we will continue to watch them until the last days of our lives, if we like a series the main concern we have is that it is not interrupted for poor results

with BADIk the situation is more complicated, the risk of it being interrupted is there anyway, in the end many games, even successful ones, have suffered more or less permanent stops, but that's not the problem

in 2 or 3 years (but in reality also in 6 months) will you still be here waiting for the release of the new chapter of BADIK? I don't even know if I can hope for that...

coming back to the game instead.
the first season was an excellent journey (surely the fact that I played it all at the same time weighs in the judgement), it's very easy to talk about what happened in the first cycle (whether we liked it or not), already this second season is more vague, less cohesive, several things have happened but less linked to a unitary plot development. now we're waiting for the end of the season, which just like in a TV series weighs more than the single episode, we'll see.

but the impression is that it will be another Game of death, with a fun but senseless sexual marathon, at the limit with a final drammatic twist (which for me, in a season finale is almost more of a flaw)
