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

and wouldn't that be a fate worse than abandonment?

a trickle in which less and less is happening from chapter to chapter?

I will fight as long as Kellermann fights.

That's definitely worse than abandonment. But at least it's still better than the ICSTOR route wherein you stop releasing updates at all but insist that you are still working on it so your Patrons don't leave. God help us if BaDIK ever goes down that road!

comes to see his daughter and watches her come back home in some skank as fuck dress

(Well actually is more like a porn addict idealizing a slut, but you get the point)

"Yeah, it's an ironic thing to hate bigots... It makes you a bigot! So you have to get to know them personally and hate them for some other random shit." (From Shazba)

And yet our entire moral sistem works and has worked all across human history exactly like that. Is built with violence and cohertion, yet is ment to avoid violence and make us to tolerate each other.

No, absolute no news, game has been abandoned for months now, people just keep coming here to discuss religion, LGBT rights and NTR.

Unfortunately, DPC's hectic schedule prevents us from closing any discussions and we are forced to reopen them from time to time.

fortunately the time when it will take a year between chapters is approaching, and besides mathematically doubling the beauty and value of the chapter we will finally have a chance to solve some of the problems that plague the world

 

[Sexypeasan]

I'm sorry but here the mature ones are at several levels higher than the young ones, do you have a problem with me?.

 

[lemonfreak]

Remember when me posting lemon dick versions of the girls was the dumbest thing in the thread?

I know some brothers here might be happy with 20 episodes, but I think the majority can see that another 12 episodes over 5 years would be overextending the lifespan of a simple (but very good) porn game about an MC "following his heart" at university. Going past the point of viability is the death knell of many games, books, tv shows, and movies, etc. Porn games do best when they aren't trying to be epic sagas following year after year of a man's life (without serious time skips). 16 episodes (covering one university year) would be enough to tie things up nicely, but DPC has got to put a cap on the "bigger/better" every episode mentality. Six months is already stretching the limits of my patience.

Nah, look at that flabby Jacob arm. I'm sure Felice has a better gun than that.

 

[Kellermann]

If Call of Duty and Fifa has so many fans, releasing the same content every year, I think 6 months for an episode is totally fine. We wont miss you.

So edgy. But yeah, I don't play those games; however, it seems like an apples & oranges comparison. For porn games like this one 6 months is a stretch. 3 to 4 months used to be he norm, but now so many are going to 6+ months. A disappointing trend to be sure.

I can't see it organically lasting 20 episodes, but that's not to say it couldn't be made to stretch that far. If he tried, I think you'd start to see the strain long before the end though - on the story and on player patience. Two main ways he could do it:

1) Expand and Repeat - more side girls get a backstory, more parties need to be planned, more hangouts/dates, more minigames etc. A lot of this could be fun and well-executed, but the implication is the resolution of key plot points keeps getting kicked down the road. And with 6 months and potentially more between episodes, it'd be a long long road (especially for Jill fans). You could easily see him experimenting with the format: like having a whole episode as a giant free roam on the campus, or an episode set entirely in D&G (perish the thought).

2) Resolve and Reinvent - pay off most of the key plot points by episode 12 but then introduce new characters, new drama etc. A high risk strategy because you're banking on people being as invested in the new characters and story as they were with the old ones. Hardly ever works and I doubt it's what he has in mind since he says he's had the whole story mapped out from the beginning. But...it would get him to 20 episodes and beyond, and hey, the demand may be there from some fans for that to happen, not to mention the enormous financial incentive to keep the show on the road.

The difference is, I don't cry if people hate on the girls I like in this game. And don't care if they're sluts.

Y'all need to defend Maya like she's your sister, but if she was your sister you'd tell her stop dressing like a slut.

Are we talking an F95 sister?

BTW, sometimes I have Maya call me Derek during lewd scenes. Other times I make her call me Patrick.

uh what a dream an episode all about D&G.... even if it takes a little longer than usual, you know what a bombshell?!?

in my opinion there isn't really the plot to imagine that BADIk could go on forever. the only way would be just to keep creating situations of resets and escapes or LIs or MCs, all the time.
"oh Mc I love you so much, but unfortunately in episode 27 you didn't open the car door for me so I think it's better to take a break for at least two chapters, then we'll make up and pick up where we left off".

But even the idea that we can go beyond a year makes little sense, MC has to court his LIs for more than a year? And once he gets the yes we should see if he can keep the relationship going? Or if anything see how he will react to James' return after a couple of years?

because honestly I think we can say that the parts of BADIK that don't strictly concern interpersonal relationships are by far the least successful of the game, the ones held together with spit, that only work by piling mystery upon mystery (the spectre of Lost always looms)

That's the best way to do it.

I set Josy to Steve right away so during the dream in the first chapter it says Steve.

 

[Zirael Q]

I never noticed that! It is rather "cheery" attire. What does it say below Awe some?
-
Mostly unrelated point.. If this game will cover only first year of MC's university, I wonder if any new recruits will pledge in the spring like before. It would be fun to supervise that, but I think it's unlikely. There are already a lot of DIKs in the house.



That dirty muthafucker

Seeing Hell Week from supervisor perspective would be fun indeed

MC is the brother from another mother to a nekkid guy roaming the campus,
planning sessions of pumping his peers full of beer the other way around.

Kind of a stretch not to think of this as Train spot t ing and everyone else is overdressed.

Incidentally the discussion about everything has been about as good as one could expect from a porn game pirating forum. Illtieralte dogshit from all sides.
