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

[Tserriednich'sNen]

Sorry, I should have been clearer. The question was specifically about how to avoid Rusty selling his car if you disabled mini-games. In that case, the game uses DIK points as a proxy for the repair mini-game. Definitely not what I was expecting.

What if you buy the windows but fail to clean all of the mansion in time?

First off, I don't think they really were blackmail letters. Chad thought that when he attacked the MC, but as he himself admits, he wasn't thinking clearly at the time. Unless the letter told Chad to break up with Sage (which is difficult to square with the Mel & Sarah scene if the MC is on Sage's path in Episode 5), Chad doesn't seem to have done anything that would take blackmail. Also, unless Chad secretly removed a separate letter for Dawe, his letter contained nothing but photos of DIKs banging Arieth. Given that everyone knows Arieth is sleeping around, that's about as far from blackmail as clandestine envelopes get.

Personally, I'm think the most likely theory is that someone either wanted to piss of Dawe and Chad, or wanted to stir up trouble between the DIKs and jocks specifically. The question then is who would do it? Troy could have been a good candidate before we confirmed he's Chad's secret lover, but he's out now. The nerds might have the capability and a general motive, but there's nothing in game that links them to the pictures. Vinny might want to stir up trouble, but it's unclear how he would know about Chad's secret. Sarah and Mel do know about the secret and clearly have an agenda, but the look between Chad and Mel make me think Chad knows they know, which would make the letters pointless. I even tried to examine the timeline once to see if anyone was suspiciously absent when the letters were delivered, but sadly the scenes at the start of Episode 3 are so out of order I can't even be sure what scenes are contemporary.

Unfortunately, I think this is one of those mysteries where we don't even know enough to speculate meaningfully. Which is definitely frustrating given it's been languishing for 5 episodes and counting.

My main theory is that the photos with Troy were planted by someone from Hots (we hear the sounds of heels). Probably Quinn wanted to destroy the tradition of joint Hots and Jocks parties. She says in episode 8 that she will take it upon herself to deal with the jocks and keep them from the Halloween party. According to Quinn, Chad will get angry and attack someone from the Diks, but only MС turned out to be nearby and he just got into a hot hand. As a result, Chad was suspended and the head became a more accommodating Dow, with whom it is easier to do business. And Quinn is also behind the photos with Katie, she planned to remove Rusty from the post of president and appoint Tommy.

 

[Arigon]

She was willing to fuck raw because it's a porn game. Don't read anything into that. DPC's characters might talk about condoms, but they'll never use them. It's not a plot point, it's a porn game.

That said, Jill will be open to a threesome by the end - probably with Bella or Josy. For much the same reason. Vanilla sex, as hot as Jill's scene was, will need to go somewhere over the course of the next 8+ episodes.

2 episodes max and the tissue shipment is on the way for you guys,,,,

Just finished the recent episode, and I am falling in love with Nicole!!! However, like that one moment when Sage asked mc whose ass looked the best, and mc had to choose one, and or say that all of them looked nice. Well, I am like that with all the ladies so far still. Excluding Arieth of course. And as for Jill, I tried liking her, but I only see her as a friend. But, with the rest of the ladies, I am in love with! As I stated in my earlier posts/experiences with Quinn, i disliked her at first, but eventually fell in love with her! I say this because I feel like there are some that perhaps still dislike her. Same could be said for Sarah, Melanie, Heather perhaps, and etc. But yes, I still love Sarah, Melanie, and slowly liking Heather. Melanie especially when it comes to the I guess "bitchy arrogant sluts" ladies or whatever terms you prefer, but I feel like she is one of those characters that you only bang, and arent allow to settle with. When it comes to settling down with the ONE, I pray that Nicole is an available option!!! Please Dr. Pink Cake!!! I love Nicole!!!

Yes, that's why he's releasing a game in GOG . To finish in 2 episodes.

What if you buy the windows but fail to clean all of the mansion in time?

I hadn't actually tested that, now that you mention it; I usually finish the mansion work early. But it looks like you'll still fail if the mansion isn't fully repaired even if you have bought the windows. Presumably Rusty needs to sell his car to hire an emergency repair team.

Good to know!

Are you assuming or did you test it out? lol

Oh, I tested it before posting. I just hadn't thought to do so prior to that.

Given how long it took Sage to mentally process the news about Troy, I doubt Jade specifically thought Chad was gay. My guess is that Jade thought Chad was only using Sage for prestige or sex, and so she warned Sage not to get too attached to him. (As I recall, Sage mentioned that possibility right after the breakup.)

First off, I don't think they really were blackmail letters. Chad thought that when he attacked the MC, but as he himself admits, he wasn't thinking clearly at the time. Unless the letter told Chad to break up with Sage (which is difficult to square with the Mel & Sarah scene if the MC is on Sage's path in Episode 5), Chad doesn't seem to have done anything that would take blackmail. Also, unless Chad secretly removed a separate letter for Dawe, his letter contained nothing but photos of DIKs banging Arieth. Given that everyone knows Arieth is sleeping around, that's about as far from blackmail as clandestine envelopes get.

Ugh, no side projects, please. Every minute DPC spends on a tie-in is another minute we have to wait for the actual game. If he needs time off to recharge, that's one thing. But if he's going to spend time on BaDIK related material, I'd much rather it be the game itself.

My understanding is that Sage told her mom about her couple problems, maybe asking for some kind of advice about the best way to attract Chad, or maybe Jade saw her daughter and Chad having arguments in public and had a serious talk with her about it, and at some point she made some kind of comment about Chad being gay as the reason why he´s not attracted by a girl like Sage. But I don´t know, and probably is not important.

About blackmailing letters, if I remember correctly, there are two of them, one for Dawe and another one for Chad. Chad only shows the one for Dawe. I assume that the other one has a photo of Chad and Troy. Since Chad and Tremolo are kind of enemies at that point, it´s the first person that comes to his mind, and attacks him. Them he realices that he was not thinking clearly. At first I though that those letters could come from Mel and Sarah, but after this update, it seems unlikely. I assume both letters come from the same person that made Cathy´s cluck and got the video of Jade and Tremolo having sex. It would not make sense that several people were collecting secret information around B&R and blackmailing people. Maybe Vinnie?

And I can´t agree more about side projects. Even those special renders are a waste of time, IMO. Most people in Patreon probably want the next update as soon as posible, not DPC spending time in "rewards" or side projects.

 

[J.A.L.]

How much money is the max you guys have get in the mansion´s minigame? I have played it several times challenging myself to get as much as possible, and (with the 10 $ of Pink Rose), it´s 65 for the windows and a surplus of 64. I suppose that money could have some relevance in the future for more minigames or something.

 

[J.A.L.]

I maintain the photo was sent by whomever posted the Cathy Cluck. My belief is someone is trying to destroy the DIK's and using other people to do so. They provoked the Alphas (and it worked) using photos of the DIKs fucking Aerith. That didn't work so they provoked the university itself by posting a picture of Cathy via their Rooster. Im guessing this isn't over and they'll try something new soon.

Yeah, probably. That would aim Vinnie although we don´t know how he gets the information. And the reason Chad breaks up with Sage would be Mel and Sarah telling him that should stop using Sage and step aside, specially since she has found another guy that makes her happier. Makes sense.

 

[PashafromRussia]

How many money is the max you guys have get in the mansion´s minigame?

I suppose that money could have some relevance in the future for more minigames or something.

I think this money will be used to organize a Halloween party.

He makes patron custom renders every year and places them on the patrein for all tiers. There is nothing surprising here.

Your lack of commitment and enthusiasm for large projects is a you problem. Leave it alone.

 

[J.A.L.]

Maybe. But that party is going to be organized even if that minigame is not completed. I assume if that´s the case they will use the money of Tommy´s car. Maybe there will be some special activity at the party as reward if the minigame is completed and some surplus is achieved. Or better, maybe there will be another management minigame related with the organization of the party and if you have a surplus, you have some kind of advantage. That would be great. I don´t usually like minigames (the tests and the ones of moving the pointer of the mouse are annoying), but the one of the mansion is good. I would like that kind of minigames in the future.

 

[yngve]

just finished a couple paths
-is kind of naive (or stupid) the Quinn' scenes where you are supposed to ''get the good side of her to flourish''... not us nor DPC is 15y old (I think..) to buy into that bs, so if that shit goes on is going to end up bad if this game plays in a realistic/adult way as usually does

the renders of her character look hot tho

-Unless you are into Jill's path the ending is not That bad isn't? just gtf out of that building asap

 

[cryhwks]

For some reason I don't see these examples... MJ would/could create complications ( maybe even outrage with Tommy ) Sage... don't see anything funny there happening ( just a " normal " walk of shame ) Jade... what is she doing there in the DIKs house in the first place ?! She's careful with this affair ( well not careful enough... sex in school ??? ) but if push comes to shove this could be a funny scene

Firstly, fuck Tommy, who gives a fuck if he gets pissed? Secondly, they would react to the MC banging the head of the Hot's and former GF of Chad, who they all hate. And Jade isn't likely, just thought with how they react when you show the video to them, that them seeing this, might make them react how Kelso and Fez react in That 70's show, when they think Eric is banging Donna's mom.

As fort he GoG announcement, I'd say it's exciting for the folks who'll be introduced to the game via the new platform, and that's a good thing. I'm also always happy to see more competition for Steam. But I'll agree I'd much rather learn a bit more about what he's planning for this Interlude...



You need to have 6+ DIK reputation points when the time comes to crunch the numbers. If you have 5 or fewer, Rusty sells his car. [EDIT: This is assuming you disabled mini-games. With mini-games on, you just need to buy the windows for $65 and finish repairing the mansion in time.]

According to the official walkthrough, you also need to have turned down the VIP pass, but I have not been able to confirm that last part myself. And personally, I don't see why you'd want the VIP pass - especially on a non-mini-game run. Where the hell are you going to find that kind of money?!?

2 envelops

Do we actually know the content of the letter? The player never saw enough to know what it was precisely. We don't know if it was actually blackmail regarding Chad's sexuality or if Chad simply interpreted it that way. There's a scene afterwards where the Alphas calm down and talk about the photos and establish they were taken ages ago. Long before MC was at the university based on haircuts. They reacted to them without thinking it through. The photos may not have ever been aimed at Chad given they would have served a purpose without specifically targeting him as it showed the DIKs with one of the Alpha's girlfriend.

I maintain the photo was sent by whomever posted the Cathy Cluck. My belief is someone is trying to destroy the DIK's and using other people to do so. They provoked the Alphas (and it worked) using photos of the DIKs fucking Aerith. That didn't work so they provoked the university itself by posting a picture of Cathy via their Rooster. Im guessing this isn't over and they'll try something new soon.

there where 2 envelopes! 1 of them for Dawe and another one for Chad both seem intent to create massive hurt! Also we could never be sure it would be Chad to find the envelopes and keep his a secret but from his reaction and him assuming it was a blackmail attemp without any request...

or there was a request telling him to break up with Sage? is that why he assumed it was a blackmail?
Still think its Quinn behind all of this but had the envelop be found by another Joke who oppened it and rated out Chad being Gay?
(we can presume its got something to do with his sexuality by his extreme reaction... could also be proof of him doping and demanding he drops out of the competition!)

what we know and what we assume might not be the same thing is all i am saying, it could also be proof of him using steroids and demanding that he drops out of the coming competition! why? don´t know!

Granted, there are some minor things wrong with this particular one (wrong number and color of wrist stripes, wrong number of stripes on the collar, and the BR isn't interlaced properly), but if someone who plays Being a DIK saw you rocking this on the street, the first thing out of their mouth would be, "HOLY FUCK, MAGGOT! WHERE DID YOU GET THAT JACKET??"

and they would out themselfs out as noobs! the jacket is after you stop being a maggot!

Not to mention i am not shaking hands with anyone who would recognise that Jacket and its meaning... for sanitary reasons ofc!

Yeah, fuck that pass. The "gift" is just a huge money pit only people like Rusty can afford. Leon must be fucking loaded if he has been going there for almost a year.

leon won the previous DIK Hellweek!

 

[Klopdwerg]

This may have been said already (this thread is still moving way too fast to absorb all the comments), but I think I've realised what the "Interlude" is.

My guess is it's simply the prologue to EP9, just like every other episode has a prologue that typically doesn't include the mc, or any choices.

So it's just gonna be Zoey's story. Just significantly longer than previous prologues.



You missed an opportunity there Mark, you should have switched Jill's picture with Quinn's for the purpose of the screenshot; you'd hear the sonic booms going off around the world as minds were being blown!




I'm guessing the current state of events (i.e. working on the interlude, getting the Steam release out, GOG distribution etc) have put things off the rails a bit, hence the non-standard status update regime. Once he's just working on ep9 it'll go back to normal (i.e. Fridays).



I haven’t verified this, but I thought Rusty only sold his car if you couldn’t pay off the windows yet.

But DPC mentioned that the interlude will give more content faster. So i think, and sincerely hope, that it will also bring more answers from the current ongoing stories. More depth or just some answers which are bugging us for several episodes.


I will release the interlude before episode 9. This gives you some more Being a DIK content faster, and it also gives a perfect opportunity to make sure that the save transfers from Season 2 to Season 3 works for all of your games.

I wanted to manage your expectations for what the next release means in terms of development and content by telling you this.

The interlude won't be as long as the previous episodes have been, and it will primarily be focused on story events, not lewd content.

Would be a bummer if it's only the story about Zoey and what she was up to last year. If so it's just a filler for DPC to release episode 9 just before Halloween 2022.Keeping my fingers crossed that DPCsecretly know about your "open answerlist" Shazba and will stripe off some of it

Well, few posters at GOG are already pissed because they go now with this Adult Games too. Always this Sheltered Cry Babies.
