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

[mightybored]

when i play without minigames, Rusty has to sell his car. Is it also the case when i play with minigames ?

If you play with minigames, you have a 50/50 chance of that, because the game won't let you fail. There's enough guides out though where you'll hit the goal with cash to spare.

 

[Lightaces]

As a guitar player, the thing I appreciates about this game is that some effort was put into getting the chord shapes right when DPC was modeling the lessons with Sage. Even the MC playing is better than most games, though perhaps not good. I get so triggered when I see people in movies and games and what not just putting their hands in the completely wrong place. Or the number of politicians you see in a campaign ad with their hands behind a fucking capo!!!! Proving you don't know how to play doesn't make you seem "folksy," you elitist POS!!!!

At any rate. I appreciates that about this game.

Gonna need you to take about 20% off there, big shoots.

I've played through three times now and I have always had 20+ $ at the end of the repair mini game. Just have one person work each time and one person per room and it's likely that the last two turns will be entirely for jobs. As mini games go it's one of the easier ones, for me the hard ones are the math tests.

NO.

At this point, though it is widely theorized to be planned, there is NO solo path for either Maya or Josy. Anyone suggesting otherwise, or even the possibility of setting it up, is making things up. This may change in the future, but not yet.

there is nothing concrete but if we have expressed a preference between Maya and Josy continues to be remembered, especially when we choose "others" in the last chapter

I do not think they are coincidences, even if it is really a way only for those who have infinite faith

It's already morning in Russia and there's snow outside the window, which means I'm here

I'm not sure that episode 9 will be dedicated to Halloween. Sage, when planning the party, said that it would take weeks of discussion to decide something. So, with a high probability, the whole season will be devoted to planning, and Halloween will happen in the final. Yes, it's a shame, but it's in the style of DPC. To stretch out some event slowly. I think there will be some new mini-game dedicated to planning. It will be necessary to distribute responsibilities. Derek will go buy alcohol, Rusty will handle invitations, Nick will go to work, etc.
I assume that episode 9 will be devoted to the midterms of Sage and Jill, as well as to a large extent planning. During the conversation with Sage and Quinn, Quinn will make sure that the jocks do not get to the party. I wonder how? Are we going to participate in this?

Maybe but in the end of ep 8 , DIK house animation tells us otherwise

 

[Kovir123]

Question:
so the interlude will be place like an episode (waiting for maybe 3 or 4 months) with playable choices, not playable choices or it will be before the next episode (my hope its in the last)??

 

[FDrebin89]

WTF is with all the characters saying "tsk" in Episode 8? Did DPC stumble across the word in an english thesaurus as he was writing the script this summer?

At least he doesn't have any characters say "you're most welcome" in this ep.

 

[FDrebin89]

You ever stop and think about what the reaction would be if Netflix or HBO or Showtime adapted Being a D.I.K. into a live action TV series?

Imagine trying to cast actors for a show with as much nudity and hardcore pornography as BAD. How would you explain to Sage's actress about the neck message scene in Episode 8? "So, as he's rubbing your neck, your top just slips down and the cameras get a nice view of your tits for no necessary reason."

Imagine the dozens of "think pieces" from The Mary Sue, AV Club, Salon, etc. and other "woke" entertainment websites, about how sexist and mysogynistic BAD is in the wake of the #MeToo movement.

 

[Lemslemons]

Sage and Bella keep getting hotter. It's unreal. Those two make all the other amazingly hot beautiful girls in this game seem less hot. Huge fan of Josy too.

Dr pink cake can write the shit out of a game, and still make it hot. The updates are substantial so it's totally worth the wait. This one...so far is great. The story so far is awesome. No wonder there have been so many copy cats, since this came out.
L.I. ->Sage->Josy->Bella->Maya->Jill
Faves in order of hotness and scenes - Sage->Bella->Josy->Quinn (has some of the best scenes)-Camilla->Maya->Riona->Lily(rest of the HOTs)-(strippers)...really all of them.

 

[Yotsune]

Why can't I change my name? I've tried changing my name in the beginning of episode 7 and 8, is there a problem with the saves or just the game? Will I have to play from the beginning?

 

[PashafromRussia]

Maybe but in the end of ep 8 , DIK house animation tells us otherwise

Well, it doesn't mean anything. This clip may be a teaser for the whole season, and not for a specific episode. Unless DPC is going to fit the preparation for Halloween, the disassembly with Burke and Halloween itself into one series. But it seems unlikely.

 

[J.A.L.]

I'm not sure that episode 9 will be dedicated to Halloween.

It means that the damn Halloween party would be delayed after the "interlude" and the next update. Three updates from here. Maybe ONE AND A HALF YEAR or so, waiting for the bloody party. The hype is going to bigger that the one for Cyberpunk 2077 or the ending of Game of Thrones . And we all know what usually happens when such a huge hype is created by a dev.

Even if we "only" have to wait a year for the Halloween party (a whole year!!! I´m dying inside ), is going to be really hard for DPK to write a "free roam" so damn good that survives the hype. The "free roam" of the party in this updates has been just "meh" at best...

All the free roams have been meh, game would be better without them

 

[J.A.L.]

Disagree. For example, the free roam in the party of the HOTs was great. The scene with Sage in the garden was amazing.

But it's true that some free roams in the house of the DIKs are repetitive and boring: "go talk with X, go talk with Y, go talk with Z..." I'ts OK the first time, that way the MC knows the house, but after that, would have been better, IMO, if DPC, instead of free roams, would had just gathered the DIKs so the MC can talk with all of them at the same time in one scene, and use the work and effort put into those free roams into the house in other more interesting scenes.

By that logic we are going to have main plot line story in early episodes and Halloween in later episodes

I think we are going to have main confrontation with burke in later episodes or in 4th season if there is going to be season 4

This is not for TV. Even Playboy or Penthouse wouldn´t do a good thing with this material.

But I would like that some AAA developer of games would have the GUTS to make a game like this one in 3D, The witcher III style: the MC in third person view walking around a good sandbox scenario, and cinematics for the scenes.

I think it would be a huge success, since it´s a virgin market. But again, I don´t think that the industry of videogames, dominated by SJW and more prudish and politically corrected these days than just a decade ago, has the guts to create an adult 18+ AAA game. They have even removed the close-ups of the butt of Miranda from Mass Effect remastered!!!

 

[Meushi]

Game crashes when talking to Rusty when MC says "he must be feeling guilty as hell" any fixes for that???

I have a problem that the game crashes just after you have allocated the DiKs jobs to do in the latest update! After Rusty tells you to buy the windows! Is there a patch im missing?

Your game didn't crash, DPC has code to check if you've used a cheat mod in the past & shuts down the game.

Searching on crash or rusty or windows would lead you to the answer. You'll need to wade through a bunch of spam to find it, because this question is asked again & again.

Try the Rusty Cheat Crash fix under Extras in the OP. Or reinstall a current version of the mod.

can't load old saves because "Detected use of modified game data" Is there a solution for this ?

I really didn't have any issue starting over anyway.

The obvious solution would be to install the current version of the mod right? Then you don't have to start again.

Though if you have the patience to start again without using the mod, that might be better. Fewer issues in future.

 

[dolbie158]

But you can avoid the special takeout in the first place. That's why i say it can't be one of LI's or any girl MC bangs, because, i should check back, there is no bang you can't avoid and the pregnancy happens anyway.

So, if there is any unavoidable bang i don't remember, it can be her. Otherwise someone else is pregnant. Even a LI if they had fun behind the back of MC.

I don't think it's Arieth, she's a comic relief and the pregnancy, i presume, is supposed to rise drama and conflict.

- It could be, as many point, Heather, and Tommy is the father.
- It could be a LI who slept with others, but the conflic element wouldn't work much if your MC is not pursuing the route.
- It could be a student who slept with professor Burke
- It could be Elena, but it would be a conflict only if the father is not John Boy, but i just don't see them in the role.
- It could be someone related to Derek, even if is too much of a positive suppor character.

I really don't think it's Arieth, as mentioned, Dany who is another comic relief and there was already a pregnancy plot about her, any of the strippers, who are almost all adult and all too smart and any of the prostituting girl, apart, maybe, Riona, because no one would care about. But Riona already has plenty of issues going on.

My most suspected are Heater from Tommy, Ashley, but not from Derek, Mona from Burke somehow, any other girl from Burke or Sally from Magmar.

Unless it was a diary part in which Lynette found she was preg. But in that case it would have been too much of an red herring.

I agree, that was totally avoidable, infact everything is actually avoidable, as you said, you could have a playthrough where you are a born again virigin, so it can only be someone elses, i just hope, as you have laid out above it is not one of the girls my mc can bang or will bang...

any of the prostituting girl, apart, maybe, Riona, because no one would care about

had to do a double take with that part, Riona is my second favorite girl, lots would care

DUDE ! It's literally what " setting it up " means ! Even if it does not come to fruition you did set things up... besides if you would have read the texts with each choice you would have seen that it changes according to your choice...

there is nothing concrete but if we have expressed a preference between Maya and Josy continues to be remembered, especially when we choose "others" in the last chapter

I do not think they are coincidences, even if it is really a way only for those who have infinite faith

Mate there were little to none coincidences why would this be otherwise ? Especially with the game offering as an option... but if you did it right there is no choice at the end !
