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

[Arigon]

No, I couldn't disagree more.

There's a debate going on right now over on the Dating My Daughter thread. If you're not familiar with it DMD was once one of the most popular games on this forum but that was when it was only about two chapters. If you were to play it now I think you would find that the entire 3rd and 4th chapters are a huge let down from the first two. In fact they're repetitive and boring.

To put it in terms of popular TV shows just compare something like Breaking Bad, where the creators fought hard against pressure from the network to extend the series, to something like Game of Thrones which completely went off the rails in it's later seasons.

When a story is done it's done. Trying to milk it for more money or pander to fan's that can't let it go only diminishes the quality of the original work.

Absolutely perfect

Not to beat the dead horse again, that non programmers can't seem to grasp, he just made the kind of branching that adds a ton of work. So he is going to do that ton of work for the climax (sic) and then do a short epilogue and we will be done. He is ready for new projects.

Peace

There in the RenPy.
Inside that folder will be next one called "Persistent"
There you should have a folder for "Being a DIK, where all the saves for the next season will be waiting.

So... its not a mod-able save file? Okay then....

maybe you messed around with too many girls?

How do you mean messed around with other girls? I am just fooling around Maya, Josy, Isabella and Jill.

He's telling a bigger story than that. And I do like big stories.

no...
He is telling a very very simple story with a few twists.
It is intended "INTENDED" to be something akin to a college Rom Com, and to a certain extent it has been loyal to that intent. He has definitely gone off his rails, and his story telling is his weak point. He fully and willingly admits this.
This story is one butt clenching update away from an epilogue... just saying.

I thought Quinn's price doubling was a one time thing to make up for her being robbed.

Yes, Quinn told Sally & Tommy it was a one-off price bump.

Price is the immediate issue for Tommy, since he's jonesing right now. Anger/pride the longer term problem he has dealing with Quinn.

Don't recall Quinn mentioning a price hike to Lily though, who keeps going on about how cheap Quinn's gear is. Which is why I think Quinn price x2 is still < Vinny.

are there an update for 7.2 to 8.0 or 8.1, or I must download the entire game again?

Come on now, there's a post about this just 8 posts above yours?

So... its not a mod-able save file? Okay then....

They're just for transferring to the new binary. They'll get turned into normal saves then.

So either edit your v0.8 save before getting to the transfer scree, or edit them later in v0.9?

I tried this and it didn't work for me for some reason, it only extracted part 1. I'm using 7-Zip do you think that is the problem?

No, 7-Zip isn't the problem, I used it to extract from the parts (makes a new BeingADIK-0.8.1-pc.zip).

Just right-click on part1 and select extract here from the context menu.

I'm just going to put it out here. I think MC is going to become a drug addict and die from an overdose.

That's what happens when you go behind Bella's Quinn's Jade's Arieth's back.

Guys, what do you think about the permanent affinity system? Judging from what I saw in Chapter 8, MС will become much less manageable and will be able to make only two choices (neutral and DIK/CHICK). For me, this is one of the interesting and contradictory things. For example, Jade is willing to help if only you fuck her. And two choices. Agree or refuse. On the way chick has for example a choice you to tell Burke.
The ending was pretty creepy, especially after Josie's words about a bad feeling.

I gotta say, I'm kinda upset you don't get a chance to mock Tybalt over Jill rejecting him!

I'm also kinda unhappy he stopped berating Tremolo when you like his Rooster posts. I loved how much it always upset him!!!!

That's a real thing in the game?
I never thought of liking his clucks, so I'm suprised

It's a perfect little detail.

 

[KarloB1990]

I loved that scene, I did not expect him to say that. The reaction was predictable and perfect, though.

This was probably the only moment, when I really struggled with beign on Tommy's side that being nice to Heather

Yeah, I had no idea he does that. That's comedy right there.

There's a handful of little interactions on there which always raise to my mind the tension between esoterism and accessibility.

It's so rewarding finding those unexpected little developments. It's difficult to not want to ultimately devalue them by ferreting them out.

1. Don't follow your heart and reject Josy&Maya.

If I follow my heart I would slap Josy&Maya.

How do I change what the girls call me in the replay menu? Don't get me wrong, Stevan is a fine name, but...
Loading a save, changing all the pet names in the phone, and then saving again doesn't work, I tried that, but I'm still called Stevan in the gallery.

Changing the name stated in the gallery will require you to start a new game and get to the point where you name your MC. After you name him, save there, and exit to the main menu. Try playing a scene from the gallery again. Hope this helps!!

Why are they hamsters?

Yeah, you are totally right. In a perfect world, there would be monthly updates of BDIK and the game would maintain the quality for years and years, but that´s not possible, at least the part of the game maintaining the quality. That´s not how creativity works. Writers get bored of writing the same story for a long time and run out of ideas. For example, in videogames, CD Projek Red decided to stop doing games about Geralt of Rivia even when Witcher III was a massive success because they were tired after 3 games with the same characters, and needed a change. That change didn´t went well, but that´s another story.

I think that, if DPK is going to make an interlude about the ex-girlfriend of the MC maybe is because he needs to take a rest of those characters and world, and write about new characters, places and situations. I can relate with that, although I´m not really interested in the life of the ex-girlfriend of the MC.
