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

I didn't expect to be as engaged by this game as I've become.
The graphics and models are top notch as is the gameplay.
If you're not a fan of the minigames you can choose to turn them off by choice as you start the game.

The story has turned out to be very good and pulls you in, as can be seen by the threads activity.
Characters are also well contructed with their own needs and wants and as a player you feel like what you decide matter in the grand scheme of things.

10/10 will play several times on several paths.

Dr PinkCake seems to be the best game developer. After a great game like Acing Lessons, he is doing a much better game here with Being a Dik.
Defenitely it's a game to make history in porn games.
It has awesome renders, awesome animations. Every update is better than the previous one and their size has nothing to envy to complete other games.
It has an entertaining and very funny history. And it's characters have a good background history making them very interesting.

The best erotic game ever. Period. Well written, great renders, great storyline, pacing is fantastic and there are actual game mechanics that mean choices actually matter in the long run.

If you haven't played this I can't recommend it to you more! The breaking bad of the porn world.

This is the best VN currently in development when you consider the amount of sheer sexual content, exceedingly high quality renders and overall visual presentation, all driven by compelling characters and a sufficiently good narrative to hold everything together and drive the story forward.

Dr PinkCake deserves every penny of Patreon support he receives for this game (and more). Once complete, it could very well compete for the best VN ever published.

After finishing version 0.3.0 I've come to the conclusion that this game is the BEST erotic game as of now. Ofcourse, tastes differ but you cannot go wrong with Being a DIK. Extremely well written, amazing art and great, unique and memorable characters.

Acting Lessons was one of my all-time favourite games, with high-quality content, perfectly complemented by a brilliant storyline.

Naturally, when I heard that Dr PinkCake was releasing a new game, I was thrilled! I've only played through the first episode so far, but man - I'm happy to note the same high production value, engaging characters and brilliant humorous undertones. I look forward to playing through the rest of the current version of the game!

The fact that the creator is able to pull these VNs off single-handedly speaks volumes about his genius, too. 5 stars!

There is so much work put into this game. I cant believe we play this for free.
Like, for real, the creators of this game have really thought out the story in a hollywood romantic movie kinda way. I downloaded this game just to fap but then literally fell in love with the charecters. There is a perfect balance of comedy and seriousness.

I would really urge the one who came up with the story to do something they truly love because that kind of story telling is a gift not many of us possess.

Besides story telling, the renders and the animations...the whole flow of this game is perfect.

Do keep up the good work people.

Amazing game, one of the best I've ever played!
The writing is great and well developed, all characters look quite autentic and real, the minigames are quite decent and complicated. The detail level and the graphics are amazing, well drawed models, looks like they were done with love and dedication.
Can't wait for the rest of the updates!

A lot of my problems are very subjective but thought i'd leave a review for like minded people, plus I told some of the lovely people I chat to here i'd see how I felt about after the third update.

Seems my opinion hasn't changed.

I was going to give it a 2 but i'll give credit where it's due, the dev puts effort in and the updates are substantial enough to be well worth playing and with content enjoyable enough for people that like this kind of thing.

The characters are my biggest problem.

I don't like the MC at all. I can't point to any specific thing I just don't click or empathise with him at all. At first I thought it was a gender issue and being a lass was the disconnect but I play a lot of games with male MC's and don't have this issue. I just can't find anything I like about the guy.

Same goes for his friend. I know a lot of people here have that 2bro" thing going on but, and this might be a gender issue, I don't get it. He's immature and annoying as fuck. I'd had enough of him by the end of the first chapter.

And now the big issue ...... the girls.

I don't care about any of the main girls which, for a dating sim, is a very glaring issue. The only girls that stood out to me as interesting are some of the side girls with the main one being Quinn. Were she to be one of the main girls I probably wouldn't have the issues I have now.

None of the main 5 stand out at all. By the end of the third I like a couple of the girls even less than I did to start with and it's not for "betrayal" reasons, I wasn't annoyed at the reveal in fact it quite pleased me that something like that happened but it did make those girls look like awful people if you follow certain paths.

The story didn't grab me either. It's typical teen college drama with frats and sorority's which is an American thing that we don't have here so I don't get the point of them. They always struck me as very cultish. The whole college setting isn't exactly exciting either.

As I said it's very subjective and my points won't be the same as others.

The one shining light in all this is the one and only girl that stood out at all and that's Quinn. A lot of what goes on revolves around her some way yet she's relegated to side girl status and that is the single biggest let down of the game. The fact that one of the most interesting characters in the game is side content when far, far weaker characters are main character status, it's very disappointing.

Thanks to this game I can barerly enjoy other games now. Being a DIK takes adult games into an evolution! The writing is very good. The cliffhangers are on point. The way the story is presented and the angles of the scenes makes it feel like a deepening experience. Dr PinkCake, keep it up!

Might be the best game on this site. The models are perfect. The animations are so amazing and the story is hot and funny and keeps you guess. There is more then one girl in this story you will fall in love with i'm sure.

This is definitely the best game around as of 0.3 . Animations are great, renders are great, girls are great, even the side girls are great, gameplay is even greater right now with this patch. And story... the story is amazing. You just can't stop asking to yourself what will happen next. There is also a nice amount of humor, there is no way you can't have fun in this game. Definitely worth the time you spend on this game.
A solid 5/5 ! DPC is the man <3

PROS

• Animations are top notch, they are not loops of 3-4 images. They feel really dynamic.
• Great models with decent variety.
• You can play as an "alpha". I have not tried the gentler path.
• Cool story. Probably the best game that gives you crazy collage days vibe.
• Lots of mild fetishes: anal, prostitution, footjob, thighjob, milfs, innocent girls, frigid girls, strippers...There isn't anything extreme yet.

CONS

• Models have their eyes rolled in some scenes. They look like they are on drugs.
• I remember how an the previous game of this guy(Acting Lessons) ended:

  Nothing can ease my worry that this will have a similar fate.

A great game, DrPinkcake has taken everything he learned during acting lessons and improved on it.

Pros:

• Great renders
• Animation is great and plentiful
• Interesting characters
• Interesting story
• All the women are beautiful and there’s plenty to choose from
• MC has a strong personality which can be molded into either nice guy or absolute douche depending on your preference.
• Satisfyingly long updates (although they do take a while, but it’s understandable)
• Option to play with or without mini games

Cons:

• None YET

I would like to give this game 5 stars, however after getting burned in acting lessons I’m withholding the last star in the hopes that all the main characters make it to the end alive. Either way this is a game that should be at the top of all our watchlists.

A summary... this game is a superb game that is worth a play. I feel it is definitively worthy of a 5 star ranking based off of its near flawless game play. Anyone looking for a game flooded with a lot of nude scenes combined with an in-depth story line with many routes to branch from, this is the game for you!

this project is unique. i hope developer will be able to finish this project at all. as the jill says in intro '''this game is not like other ones,you might come here expecting to get fun and happy love story with lots of sexual content'' if u guys played dr pinkcake's games before you probably know how this game will be like,you might get angry or sad but the plot and the animations are unique and it will be worth to play.

Great entertainment value from this game.

Pros:

1. The girls are very varied so there should be something for everyone.
2. Great renders.
3. Hot models.
4. Entertaining story.
5. Laughed at certain parts.

Cons

1. You can miss content without a walk-through.
2. You're locked out of certain content because of the DIK/CHICK system. I really dislike having to do more than one playthrough to see all content a game has to offer.

Definitely worth being a patreon The amount of content the writing and the quality of images and animations are one of the best around. Loved prior game but this is impressive a Big Thanks to Dr PinkCake for the time and effort that you put into this

Good Points
+ We have good looking renders and place designs.
+ We have amazing looking animations with well maked physics and FPS value's.
+ Our story is not that much original but its well written and interesting.
+ We have freaking hot looking girls!
+ We have pretty well written character stories.
+ We have detailed but same time basic and not boring minigame mechanics.

Bad Points
- Updates takes too much time... I mean game is worth it but still it takes too long, espacily waiting last two update was annoying...
- Sometimes having two significantly different character affinities for MC feels pointless because DEV doesn't make different scenes when it's most needed... Like in season episode 9 MC acts like a little girl while having wild sex with Sage even though you are in dik path and massive dik! He cuts sex out of nowhere and it's not suiting that affinity at all. If you are not going to change how MC acts in serious situations like this then whats the point of having two significantly different affinities? I can understand this happening in chick path but dick path should have had a different scene for sure.

For The End
Hot girls, interesting stories, well-written character stories, nice gameplay features, etc. Everything about this game is amazing and I'm not gonna lie this is one of the best adult games I have ever played before interlude this game was a 5/5 perfect game but with the interlude, things got worse and that's the reason why I'm changing my review 4 stars to 5 stars.

By far the best Adult Novel out there.

Animation : 10/10. Perfect fucking facial expressions, no shitty 3 image loop animation or any weird "repeat" animation

Story : 10/10 . I skim through alot of these but this game ive replayed the first 2 episodes four times just to see if i missed anything, and boy did we. There's also already hints of an over-arching mystery that has the thread searching for clues

Characters : 10/10. Everyone super distinct and textured personalities.

I don't understand how some people are rating this anything below 4/5.. I mean what fucking games do you play?

In short yes play this amazing game.
