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

[TajaRrR]

well yeah, but

1. MC never seen Vinny with the DIKs so he could think it's another guy with the same name
2. MC is so terrible with names that it wouldn't surprise me if he didn't know the name of Zoey's brother

Good points, but I don't think he is that bad with the names and in this scenario Tommy would somehow know him before meeting him in college because they would be from the same town.

 

[romero94]

pregnancy assumptions:

Zoey? no, because if she's pregnant by MC that would be a problem that Mc couldn't wash his hands of, and if she's pregnant by someone else how on earth would she be palatable to MC? an ex coming back pregnant?

Bella? would make sense, but she just had her (useless) flashback, unlikely to have another one in the next chapter

Lynette? would be the most painless solution but it would seem strange to me that an image from Lynette's diary would be given in the middle of the narration as a preview.

an LI? impossible because the scene happens anyway.

that it is a secondary girl is the most likely hypothesis, and that Mc is not the father I would say for sure. so I would bet on a girl with whom MC has not had sex and is not expected to do so, Ashley would be too dramatic for Derek, Daniele and Wendy in my opinion have already faced and overcome this danger. I would say either Arieth or Sally

What if it's not a flashback, what if it's related to MC, and in this game everything is related to MC. So my taughts are, that the pregnant is the one you choose at the end of season 2, in my case its Bella. But this would be too hard to accomplish, basically 4 different episodes in one. Anyway I think we'll know for sure around summer, when 9th ep will come out.

I don't believe in the flashbacks theories just because it wouldn't make sense in a narrative point of view, mixing current events with past events in the epilogue, without any context whatsoever would confuse the hell out of me.

Even if the next episode began with a prologue giving context to it being a past event, I would still be left wondering why on earth would DPC just drop a single flashback picture of a pregnancy test, in the middle of all the other current events of the epilogue.

So far all the episodes have been structured with the prologue being a flashback (both in recent and distant pasts) to give context to character arcs and epilogues have always served to give us an idea of what to expect in future episodes, messing with this design and starting mixing both these narrative devices just to create some suspense and mystery is a terrible idea.

I also think it is unlikely to be a flashback, but we can not rule it out completely, then it does not have to be a true flashback, it could also be the visualization of a story (of Bella who tells what happened with her husband for example)

What if it's not a flashback, what if it's related to MC, and in this game everything is related to MC.

Anyway I think we'll know for sure around summer, when 9th ep will come out.

there is still half a game ahead, too early and then the pregnancy would be too definitive, in addition to not being a kink shared by all

besides you could have chosen "others", not necessarily an LIs, and in that case it would be a completely different story

Well, if it´s Lynette´s flashback, the baby would be MC, so couldn´t be more related with him...

Chapter 9, if we are really lucky, next summer... We have to do something to put up with the boredom

Yeah, I know and i like to discuss theories but sometimes people are trying too hard to find things that they dont even exist or make sense and develop such crazy theories. Its a fun porn game with some little twists, we dont need to burn our brains with westworld theories
Sadly we will only know in about 1 year

What kind of half game are you talking about? Season 3 has to be the last, there is no DIK/CHICK affinity anymore, major choices will be made automatically, almost every arch is connected to one another at this point, so it has to be the last season. Cause I swear to God, if DPC is trying to make 10 seasons drama, than he can go and fuck himself, because it's not TV seriest with a season every year consistent of 10+ series, it's VN and it has to end!

 

[romero94]

That could already make sense. It would then possibly support another theory. That Neil is perhaps not the father of the MC. Or that Neil once got Monica pregnant. Just a few thoughts. One cannot exclude it to 100%.

What is that make than, Tommy and MC step-bros and the same goes to the shithead josy, so it's basically same incest, patreon won't approve.

DPC himself has declared we are in the middle of the story

Really? Soo how long does it take him to make one episode? 4/5 moths? If something like that then for 3 next chapters we will wait a long time.

6 months for chapter, 2 years for a season.

That is an optimistic prevision

 

[Lostanddamned]

Him ghosting F95 is definitely counter intuitive.

If he was posting here from time-to-time, people would see him as more of a human and this would surely lead to more subscriptions.

I don't know if there is any history behind his severance from this site (some people say he was sick of people dissing AL for its twist, but I don't know about that).

But he obviously still acknowledges its existence considering he surely sanctions N7 to post the weekly updates here (hoping to get a few more patrons I presume).

But that has nothing to do with the idea that he wouldn't include incest because he's obsessed with money.

There is no need for incest in this game, it would just fuck it up as far as I'm concerned. Not every game needs some sneaky cunt lacing his sisters meal so he can fuck her in her sleep.

If I was DPC I sure as hell wouldn't be adding incest to placate a few people and then have to upheave my entire earnings base to another platform... If I was DPC, I sure as hell wouldn't include the Madame in the game either, but that's a different story…

I never encountered him around here before, because I never was a fan of AL that much. Sure, it’s a great game, but it’s not for my taste. But from what I’ve heard from older forum members like Holy Bacchus, he really was tired by the shit people were giving him about the twist and left. Which is weird, because there are his posts on this thread (the one where he says he needs the money is the most recent one, I think).

So technically he left after AL, but came back to promote his new game later? Then apparently he leaves again and bans everyone mentioning this place.

But technically his game gets even more showcase thanks to this site, with all the discussions, fan sigs and etc.

But back to the incest topic - even if it would be the perfect twist in the storyline, like that “Oh, shit!” moment, he’s still not going to do it for the reasons I already mentioned. I’m not saying he should do it, because even if he has to, he won’t.

I agree it'd be weird to be a flashback given the epilogues to each episode have been about events happening now, and the mc reading about something having happened in the past doesn't quite follow that pattern, but there are no hard rules here (other than no incest!)...

I'm much more inclined to believe it's happened with some of the side characters:

• Jamie and Dany already had a pregnancy scare, but it was rather low key. We heard about it in episode 4 and it was resolved by episode 6. Regardless of what the mc says to Jamie, I think he hooks back up with Dany again. So she could be pregnant, but she's already cried wolf before, so who gives a fuck.
• Magnar and Sally are on the rocks for some reason, and an unexpected pregnancy could be the reason, but so what, we have fuck all to do with them, and what, Sally will be even more snarky during the next game of DnG (damn, we need another game!)
• Dawe and Arieth (or is that Anyone and Arieth)? I'm sure the kid would be dead due to lack of oxygen in no time since there seems to be no oxygen going to Arieth's brain either.
• Rusty and Cathy? Yeah they're banging, but so what? Cathy would just abort and get on with life, she's not some drama queen college girl.
• Stephen and Jade? Are they even fucking? Jade would just grab the nearest coat hanger for sure (she'd probably actually see a doctor, I'm just being vulgar).
• I don't think Derek's had sex with Ashley under all possible game branches, so that rules them out.
• Anthony and Ashley? When Derek's trying to get back with her, she tells him it's complicated. Now if she's pregnant to Big A, Derek's just gonna back off, so I can't see that being of much interest.
• John Boy and Elena? They'd probably be thrilled as they are virtually married and there's so much love in that relationship they are ready to spread it to their offspring. Here's hoping for twins!
• Tommy and Heather? I think this would be a big deal in the DIK house. But we've already had to put up with an episode of Tommy mooping around feeling sorry for himself, can we put up with more of that?
• Tybalt and his lover? Will we hear the sound of little green and red feet running around the Prep's mansion? Yeah, I'm running out of ideas now...

So while it's interesting to wonder who it might be, I can't see it even mattering much. So my current guess is it'll just be Lynette in her diary.

Hello guys, I would like to ask you a question, I saw a thread here on the site that commented on good games that are worth playing even if they are not finished, Being a DIK was in it and they said it's worth it, because the contents are released are pretty satisfactory, but when I saw that it was 20G of memory I was a little skeptical of downloading, so I would like to know if anyone could tell me if it's really worth the download before it's finished and then follow up on the updates.

PS. English is not my first language.

He has already stated that he planned at least 16 episodes, and depending on the story it may range from 16 to 20 episodes. So we are exactly at the halfway mark.

If you start playing now, you have roughly 8-10 hours of content for a single route, so it’s definitely worth it.

 

[TajaRrR]

Wow.. Well I need to find another game for 2 years then, I much rather play whole season than chapters

Hi man, yeah the game is solid, 20gb is because of renders and they quality, wich are near perfect, almost all characters are unique, almost. And it's very long compared to other VN. I had to put 3 entire days of non stop play, just to see every path in one "go", and that is because I tempered with stupid DIK/CHICK system, cause you cannot see all routes in one playthrough.
Just to let you know, it will be around another 2-3 years before it's finished.

• Rusty and Cathy? Yeah they're banging, but so what? Cathy would just abort and get on with life, she's not some drama queen college girl.

Inb4 someone throws a fit about NTR. Besides, I thought Rusty was with the friend of that catfish Swyper girl.

 

[kyrlian]

English is stupid in this respect.

Yes, in french, italian, german and spanish there are different words for he or she (friend)

English is a more gender-neutral language.

I don't now what his previous job was, but I'd rather he work fulltime on BaDIK if it pays the bills, than get booted from Patreon and have to go back to fulltime work elsewhere and just do this game in his spare time...

Quitting his job was risky, other devs didn't had the guts to do it. He invested heavily too. The hardware, assets and music can get really expensive, you can spend hundreds of dollars in a single scene.

And now when the game ends he will be a multimillionaire. Well deserved.
