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

[felicemastronzo]

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.

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)

 

[godkingxerxes]

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.

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

 

[Canto Forte]

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.

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.

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

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

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.

 

[thorin0815]

Jesus you're an asshole. No wonder you're a quinn fanboy.

I know we're all pirates, but you still shouldn't overdo it with the rum.

 

[TheHighSpire]

Does anybody have any info on when the next episode will drop? I just finished the last episode, and I'm already craving the next!

why would you call your own sister a slut?

 

[Ilhares]

why would you call your own sister a slut?

Steve: What if somebody calls my mama a whore?
Dalton: Is she?

...wat

 

[dalli_x]

I don't know about all of those, but the underlying theory of one or two possible departures is a clear and present danger. If that happens, then we might see some new pledges in the spring.

Derek - He is really straining those chest muscles. Is he struggling to squeeze out a shart, or hold one in?

I noticed that Derek wasn't that muscular in EP1. Ergo, he played sports. I don't know why.

But I noticed another link involving Leon, Jamie, Tommy, Jacob, Quinn and Arieth.

I didn't write anything about the screenshots from the link below because I thought people would notice.

https://f95zone.to/threads/being-a-dik-v0-7-2-dr-pinkcake.25332/post-6688514

But it isn't. It's about Quinn and Tommy's line of sight after the sperm petition. Quinn and Tommy are looking at Arieth. What happened in the freeroam event after the cum petition? Jamie and Leon fucked Arieth. Jamie's cell phone may have changed hands in the process. Did Arieth have something to do with it? There is also a scene in EP3 where Dawe is fucking Arieth. She has a cell phone in her hand with a picture of Jacob on it. Is this perhaps Jamie's cell phone? If so, why does Jamie have such a picture of Jacob on it? Questions upon questions.

 

[Ilhares]

If she's dressing like a slut, acting like a slut, she should be told she's a slut, before she brings a bastard into the family.

Bastards happen all the time. Dressing slutty rarely has much to do with it. You havin' sex and not married? That's how it happens. Male, female, don't matter.

My MC? Bastards everywhere. Just waiting on DPC to finish the flash-forward renders.

 

[ename144]

I've wondered the same thing. DPC placed opportunities to fix the house in specific parts of the story. How will he reconcile those story breaks if, say, one person finishes the house two turns before another? I'm guessing that if one of those scheduled breaks comes up and you've already finished the house, he might skip the part where the MC checks the board and the subsequent game, similar to if you had the minigames disabled. Later, he might put in a scene something like the DIKs breakfast, and in the MC's summary, he announces that all the work is done and the windows can be replaced.

My guess is the final repairs will only take place at the end of the mini-game (when Luis installs the windows); until then we'll just be told the windows are paid for and the work is nearly done. In the meantime we can probably keep assigning the DIKs to work jobs for extra $. It's possible that money might be used for something optional (like buying "better" stuff for the Halloween party), or that it will feed into a new management mini-game we'll get for Season 3.

I have similar suspicions. Nick seems particularly upset about Vinny's departure. If Vinny got chased out by Tommy, and perhaps they feel that Rusty didn't support Vinny when he should have, then Nick might be helping Vinny ruin the DIKs as part of a larger revenge scheme. Or Nick is sad because he knows it's Vinny doing this, but doesn't want to rat out his friend.

Popular theory, but it doesn't make much sense to me: if Nick was that upset by how the DIKs treated Vinny, why didn't he just leave in protest? The notion that the DIKs are so strong that only an inside man could hope to bring them down is giving them far too much credit.

To me it makes much more sense if Nick is sad that Vinny was forced out, but fundamentally agreed with the decision. Nick could still be an unwitting leak (underestimating Vinny's hatred for his ex-brothers, or passing along intel that is more important than he realizes), but making him an active mole would, IMHO, require that Nick realize he's a character in a game and act foolishly purely to further the plot.

It's possible that Nick isn't even fully aware that he is the mole.

We know he catches up with Vinnie often, it's pretty much all he talks about, but that doesn't mean he holds a grudge against the DIKs, but he may have given some information to Vinnie or whatever.

I'd say when Nick's room is untouched after the mansion is trashed, Nick realises what's going on and he feels genuinely bad, buying stuff for Jacob, offering to help out at the old folks' home instead of the strip joint.

Precisely.

Does anybody have any info on when the next episode will drop? I just finished the last episode, and I'm already craving the next!

Again, no one knows for sure. Best guess at the moment is sometime in November.

 

[Heycock]

Yeah maya is a nun.

She dress like whore.

Will grind mc cock in 3 day of knowing time.

Make her own video.

Pure lesbian but bit of cheating won't hurt.

Randomly make out with anyone if quinn tell her.

Even if mc says he doesn't love maya, she chose to make out with mc in garden when her brother catch her.

Will do anything for money, like deceiving the sluts for their money. I mean what is the big deal she just want to take away money which was earn by hots from sexual favors.

She want do all that so she can be a lesbian on open street.

Doesn't matter if she is all about her, her and more her.

Really great character.

These things should be moral morality standard " Snatch, grab and use the world as anyone see fit, She has ever right of it because she has vagina.

The internet genious. Plays a porn game and get angry with the characters for dressing like sluts.

Personally I find it very distracting! It's hard to read the articles with all these naked girls around!

 

[dalli_x]

And people still think he'll abandon this game...more like he'll prolong as much as he can, no guarantee his next game will be as good or successful as this one. He will finish but only time will tell when, each update after I finish the chapter I replay the entire thing because I can't remember shit, 12 ~16 chapters seems a good number to end.
If he prolong more than this I foresee a lot of minigames and D&G in the future.

In the past he's said 16-20 episodes. That was a while ago though so who knows what's on the table now. Given how insanely profitable this game is it does seem more likely he'll try to drag it out, but on the other hand, given how hard he works on it he might want to end it early just so he can stop for a while.

I don't think that DPC will artificially drag out the game. He himself has written that he needed longer for Hell Week than he had actually planned. DPC wants to present us many details of the story and that's why the EP's are getting bigger. Personally, I would not mind if it becomes 20 EP's. His motivation is not only the money. DPC himself wrote in an EP8 status report that he had a lot of fun creating a scene. I think of DPC as similar to me. As long as I have fun doing something, I am fully concentrated and enthusiastic.

Thats true. When i read "college settings" i was so excited for the mathematics class. But it was just another clickbait.

 

[lemonfreak]

Sorry bro ! Are in need of my help , Should i call 911 because there is a smoke coming out of you.

Let Internet genious live. A humble plea. I don't want to be crucified by maya fan.
