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

[shazba]

Fuck me, have we just swung away from the gay debate and now on to NTR?! These are dangerous waters!!

DPC, fucking release episode 8 already!!

 

[AchedCroissant]

DPC should focus on adding more fetishes. Like Futa, bestiality or NTR. Make it an option for the player and this game would be perfect. For now everything is really vanilla.
I think by not adding things like NTR DPC is really limiting his game. They could be used for interesting stories.
Maybe Sage could find out that she likes dogs. There are so many options.

Better a donkey

Better a donkey

I would rather recommend a blue whale, Sage is already used to horse-sized dicks.

No pain, no gain!

 

[SpearOfReigns]

Learning from experience, I guess there will be a purge coming soon. Y'all be easy

Haven't played this in like a year and recently started again.
Like it a whole lot so far and am somewhere in episode 6 I guess, but I feel the need for a short vent.
About an episode ago DPC made me choose between Josy and Maya or Jade/Cathy or at least it felt that way.
I chose the teachers because it just felt like the potential for kinky scenes is higher there.
Now an episode and a bit later I had two half-assed short scenes with my choice but a BOATLOAD of potential scenes with the other option that obviously went nowhere because I clicked the other way.

Without going into spoiler territory, does it stay that fucking bad and should I load back and reconsider or does it get better at some point?

By adding NTR, DCP will be taking risk of losing more than 70% of his audience. Please understand the gravity of damage that NTR will do.
NTR holds capacity to destroy a well loved game.

If it was forced sure but by making it optional like the rest of content it would be just fine. I dont think many people would have a big problem with it. If they have a problem with it just skip it. Its really no different to other choices. But the anti NTR people hate even giving us an option.

Yeah, there are slowly situations arising where choosing one character will undermine the progress in another.

These have been posted before, but I'll whack them under a spoiler tag since you've set that trend here:

Maybe DPC should change his name to DrCockBlock.

I just don't quite get the argument that this game is woke or anti-religous. If anything it seems to go after the left more than the right. A modern day woke game wouldn't tolerate such a manwhore MC. Currently in the mainstream entertainment you have James Bond, the ultimate ladies man, getting rejected. But in BaDIK, almost no woman can resist the MC and his magical catnip-for-women dick. Doesn't seem very progressive to me.

Also, the game is loaded with homophobic jokes and there are a lot of characters (DIKs and Jocks) who seem like closet homosexuals. I've honestly lost count of how many times DPC has played it for laughs. I'm not sure if he is doing it to ease the minds of players who are overly concerned about the three letters, but it is quite noticeable.

And then you have feminism getting ripped on at every opportunity. Maya is the one of the only "good" non-hypocritical feminists in the game. Most of students (HOTs especially) seem to acknowledge taking the class only for the easy credits. Some even outright laugh at the feminist teachings. BaDIK just seems like a light-hearted, horny, politically incorrect game. Until the fires start. Having one, stereotypical religious dad character doesn't seem like an overindulgence.

I agree with this take. Game may have been considered what we now call woke 10 years ago but by modern standards it's downright tame. He even let's Derek, on occasion, make a good point against feminist talking points (although he does usually ruin it with the next sentence out of his mouth since Derek is the clown character). I'm not a "right winger" (libertarian who leans hard right on economic policies but fairly left on social issues such as drug legalization and gay marriage) but I've been opposed to the "woke" garbage for years now and I just don't get that vibe much from this game. A few things here and there but the dev IS Scandinavian so some degree of it is to be expected.

I do wish he had another openly religious character in the game who was a good person to balance out Patrick to some degree though. I myself am an atheist and am not personally insulted by the "religious guy is the bad guy" trope but it IS so overplayed that it just feels like lazy writing at this point. Religious belief is a deeply personal and nuanced topic and boiling it all down to intolerance and bigotry is boring.

Anti NTR are the softest of people on this site.

They would have every guy be gay and all girls be virgins to not even have the possibility that one of their previous quuens have even touched another boy.

I dunno what this talk about NTR is for. We already cucked Burke. NTR is already there. Its just the good kind.

I think the herd of DIK's is thinning out. Look at the seat split.

John said at HOT's party that Elena is his family too.

Opposite Tommy seat Leon. I think he might be a rat who stole the cell phone from Jamie. It could have been used to take the photo of Cathy. The DIK's cell phones were connected to the DIK's laptop at the time of Cathy's cluck.

Sitting across from Derek is Nick. I don't have to write anything about that.

So Leon and Nick are already 2 candidates for being kicked out.

With Tommy and Rusty I could imagine that they might leave on their own. They will not leave the DIK's, but only move into a bachelor apartment. Why?

A reasonable theory would be that they want the old DIK life, but the DIK's themselves have changed.

A bold theory would be that the DIK Mansion no longer belongs to Rusty's father. The DIK Mansion was destroyed, in my opinion, because someone didn't want the MC to live there. The person or persons bought the DIK Mansion. How do you know? The old hotel that Lynette and Neil fell in love with has a new owner. Maybe the MC's family is behind it?

I think there might be shifts of people in EP8. There was a poll from DPC where new pairings came up. Heather-Riona, Quinn-Camila, Melanie-Sarah, Sally-KRJ and Lily-Nicole. What surprises me though is that Elena, Ashley, Sage, Maya and Josy are not there.

Now let's move out the four boys. There's a lot of space opening up. Derek gets Tommy's room. The Moose Lounge is too small for him and Ashley. Elena to John should be logical. The MC could opt for one LI or the other in EP7. There is an administrative trick for a throuple. The Moose Lounge. In my case, then of course Josy and Maya will form the throuple with the MC. But there are still up to 2 free rooms. How about Jill and Sage. Or Sage, Chad and Troy. But in any case, there would be rooms available again somewhere else on campus.

I could also very well imagine that we get in EP8 again a choice of three routes, as in EP4.

What could those routes be? Sage again, which would be the same as HOT's house. Alpha's house? If Dawe got kicked out of college because anscheiend pissed in the pool again, the Alpha's need a president. The MC is good for that. There are a lot of possibilities for that.

But those are just my thoughts on it. View attachment 1436725

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?

 

[ScroxDieded]

I'm finding it less and less likely for the dev to finish this. The game has now an exponential complexity because of the choices and systems he implemented so either each update will take a year (and more as time goes on) or he'll abandon this eventually.
I really like this, though. I hope that with the financial support the team has they can pull through this hiring the right people for the job.

Is this No Time To Die spoiler?

A betrayal in a game can be really emotional; my kid played an RPG ages ago where about 3/4 in, her character's sister betrayed the fuck outta the group and that made it the most memorable game she's ever played.

So done right, it can be an great plot device.

But in this genre, betrayal seems to have been pigeonholed into a weird fetish, and too many people make a huge deal about it.

How do these people handle it if they get dumped by a girlfriend? Shit hurts, you get over it and you get on with it. If you can't handle it in a game, fuck...

There's just one guy making this game, and he's earning 30-70K a month doing it as a full time job. So he'll likely keep going unless he gets run over by a bus (am I allowed to say that kinda shit or is that like jinxing it)?

Thanks for the answer.
I wasn't aware that we don't usually spoiler tag in here but I'm barging in on page 7500something and just wanted to be safe rather than sorry.

To be perfectly clear, I don't have a problem with choices. This game doesn't have the harem tag and I don't expect it to turn into that going forward. Also some girls are clearly main characters and others are (even labeled as) side chicks. While it's a pretty weird choice to make the player choose between 2 main characters or several side chicks as in the example above, meh, whatever.
I'm just extremely disappointed by the sparse and hush-hush scenes and encounters I'm currently getting as a trade off for permanently locking out 2 of the main girls and I'm asking if that gets better along the way or if I should bite the bullet and reload.

EDIT:

Oh I wish I could jinx someone getting run over just by talking about it. Holy shit, think of the possibilities.

A simple overview is:

• Play as a Chick, and get all the main LIs, but pretty much steer clear of the rest of the girls/women,
• Play as a DIK, and enjoy the smorgasbord but expect to lose Maya, Josy, Jill and Bella eventually.

I find it ironic that people with fetish of seeing his love interest getting railed by other person calling other soft. I don't really care about NTR but seeing NTR fans trying to push their fetish into VNs by masking it as if they're the macho one is really a choice

I think so too. No matter how good the DPC is, he won't be able to finish the game. This is too big a game and the risk of burning out is too great. My only hope is that the DPC sees this as a job, not as a hobby. For me, the third season will be decisive. I am sure that at some point he will get bored and he will either take a break or quickly finish the game.

I'm not pro NTR at all.

I'm just saying anti NTR gone too far, and you get WVM.
