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

You forgot the interlude. I'm guessing that will drop sometime around March and then ep 9 in October or November 2022.

It's something everyone needs to get used to because it's going to be a very long time before he completes this game. Even if he manages to get out two episodes a year (and that's a big IF) it's going to be 2026-2027 or even later before he's done.

I'm not expecting right now a lot from the Interlude because I'm so tunnel visioned on my insatiable Zoey hatred, but it's still going to be about a year before we see a new episode. And if it's done in '26-'27, I'll be 51-52, that's IF I'm still alive

Excellent post, well worth the read! For the most part I agree with you, but here are a few specific thoughts.

I'm not worried about being excluded from the story of the LIs not chosen, DPC has never done it so far (even with MEH situations like MC going to Bella to get a haircut... otherwise he wouldn't talk to Bella in this chapter...) I don't think he's starting to do it now,-At the end it doesn't cost him much, he has to create the content anyway, there will be an "extended" version and a "free trial" one

I would love it if your idea of an MC who starts to act not individually but as a couple would come true, but I see it as very difficult, I would be happy if he would at least talk to his SO before acting. we will see

it all depends on what stuff this interlude will be

will be a huge flashback where we only have to click to move forward and where our choices already made will change something minimal?
or will it actually be a mini chapter in which we interact with more or less important events?

in the first hypothesis we could get away with a couple of months and have it for the end of January, otherwise I do not think it goes beyond 4 months anyway

good afternoon do you guys know when the official guide will come out?

You made some interesting points but the only thing I could think of while reading this is that this is not the story that DPC planned from the start, if he planned anything at all. All of these artificial relationship road blocks just feel like an author stretching his original concept. It all reads like a successful TV series gone bad.

well somehow when i downloaded the game back, my old save at the end of chapter 7 was there. maybe it was still saved somewhere deep inside my PC. stroke of luck i would say

Saves are stored at hidden AppData\Roaming\RenPy\BeingaDIK folder, you can also view saves at BeingADIK-0.8.1\game\saves folder.

another question lol, how much playtime can i expect from this new chapter (i usually play 2 routes and read all the text)

Probably up to 2h maybe more, can't say for certain, but there is a lot of content. Best to try all 3 (chick, dick and neutral) routes.

 

[Meghead]

because I'm so tunnel visioned on my insatiable Zoey hatred

Brace yourself, Zoey will definitely play a big role in the third season.
Who knows, maybe your feelings will cool down while you wait for the 9 ep. haha.
I still don't understand why many people hate her.

That depends. I found it to be kind of odd that DPC would preview the Halloween party in ep7 and then only intend to release it more than a year later. And I don't think he would release in in an episode in the middle of summer. He's either really bad at estimating how long it takes to complete an episode or he just has very poor self-discipline as a writer.

as an Italian, I really don't care about Halloween, and in BADIK you don't feel the need for excuses to have the girls quite undressed

BUT, if DPC wanted to do the Halloween party in "real time" he should have done it this year, instead of that party in the dormitory that had very little sense (the few important scenes could also take place on Halloween) very extraneous to the plot

I do not believe that the ninth chapter arrives 11 months after the eighth, the interlude does not solve anything in this sense

you want me to cry...

 

[JamieSadistic]

I think so too. DPC told he had 1 favorite but won't reveal who she is. He will do it when BaDIK is complete.
But i more and more get the feeling that Jill is his favorite which i love since she's mine too

Well unfortunately for DPC, he decided to put choices in the game. His canon story isn't what I am aiming for in my choices. I do enjoy the Jill route in a wholesome "awwww" fashion though. The Jill route has surprised me lately. At first, I was set against it because of the bullshit with Tybalt and the whole "too fast" thing, but it seems that Jill suddenly grew a backbone in episode 8 and to be honest, it changed my perception of her. I used to ctrl skip through all her scenes just for the sake of completion but I don't really mind them now.
As far as DPC's favorite, I've heard rumors that it was Quinn on discord when I was a supporter of his and he never denied it. Of course, it's all rumors and should be taken as such.

I couldn't agree more but remember you're dealing with DPC here. A Dev who's most famous for throwing a surprise Psycho Killer into the third act of his last game.

The third act is quickly approaching, my good lad. Who do you suppose is this "Psycho Killer"?
My wagers would be firmly on Sage.

 

[dalli_x]

I don't know now if I'm allowed to post this or not, but I do because it should be interesting for everyone. It is an excerpt from the original walkthrough.

The choices you can pick between, depending on your history with the girls, are:

Josy & Maya: You have to be in their relationship to be able to choose this.
Isabella: You have to be dating her to be able to choose this.
Sage: You have to be her fuck buddy or fucked her in episode 7 to be able to
choose this.
Jill: If you were invited to dinner with her friends, this will be an option. It may also be an option in other rare cases, but if you didn’t get invited to dinner, she will reject you if you choose to be with her.

Others: This option is only available if you aren’t in Josy’s and Maya’s relationship and don’t have a successful relationship with Jill. Choosing that none of the other girls are right for you will cause you to reject any main girl relationships and stay friends with them.

Hint! Whatever choice, it will have a huge impact on the story that follows. The choice you make will be referred to as being on someone’s branch from here on. For example, the branches are referred to as: Josy’s and Maya’s branch, Jill’s branch, Isabella’s branch, Sage’s branch, and others’ branch.

I think in one of Jade's arguments with Stephen she mentions she can't have kids.

Stephen could have paid the doctor to say if was Jade that was infertile, this might be the reason he goes around screwing whoever he can cause he knows he can't get someone pregnant.

Just finished my last save(1 save for each li path), which was Jill. Is it just me or did anyone get the feeling that's supposed to be the canon route?

I'm getting to the stage that no path is the right path, somewhere something will happen that screws up every path.

Because Jill hates Tybalt so when he tries to propose to her she lets rip, before the MC even gets there.

If DPC pretends to release the update with the Halloween party in "real life", in October 2022, is going to be the biggest building of hype of the history of porn games. A year and a half announcing the damn party. And trolling everyone not including it in the update everybody was waiting it would be included. I hope it is going to be the biggest, craziest and amazing free roam of all times, with a cameo of Scarlett Johansson stripping while the AC/DC play live "Thunderstruck" at the DIKs mansion, or something like that. Because if it´s just "meh", after a so much time waiting for it, is going to be a "Cyberpunk 2077" situation.

Even if, for some miracle, the "interlude" is released after Xmas and Chapter 9, lets say in April, is going to be a year of waiting for the bloody party... Yes, better make a good one, DPC.

 

[TomUK]

if there's a possibility to pursue maya alone i'd probably choose her instead but right now i have two saves with jill and jade

I think Maya and Josy only come as a package deal, at the moment of course, who knows in the future.

 

[Deleted member 4298851]

Because Jill hates Tybalt so when he tries to propose to her she lets rip, before the MC even gets there.

And it was a fucking beautiful thing of glory to witness. Probably was the happiest I'd ever been playing this game. She's so much better when she's vocal and honest like that, and until she smiled, in my opinion, she was awfully cute too being that fired up
