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

[DarkKiller]

People that choose Jill over Bella literally have no heart.

Like Bella never refused to help you, she never went behind your back, hell she didn't interfere in your business and didn't care if you banged chicks on the side. You just had to be there for her. Bella gave you everything and you motherfuckers really turned your backs on her and let her down.

I completely agree with you, but let's not pretend like Bella's a saint, it's true that she's probably the most altruistic character in the game towards the MC, however she should've come clean with Jill way earlier, as soon as she slept with MC in the mansion she should've told him to stop dating Jill, and the fact that she dumps him in EP7 if she finds Cathy's panties, but otherwise does not tell him to break it up with Jill and they go on with the hangout and the talks about dating always irked me.

Her earlier mixed feelings and uncertainty were understandable, she thought that it would just be a fling and then MC would move on, so it made sense that she encouraged Jill to be happy with MC they both wanted it, but by EP6 she was realizing she was falling for him so to keep going behind Jill's back was not the correct thing to do and now it will backfire spectacularly in EP9.

I just looked at the official guide and there is nothing said about making a decision in episode 9.

First. EP9 does not exist yet. So no walkthrough yet either.

Okay, I'll be clearer for once. I definitely won't let you take away my right to play BaD the way I want, just like I won't let you take away my right to express my opinion.

Let's move on to Сrossroads and dramas classics. I don't like classics and who says that the LI choice of the MC is this drama classic. Guess why Zoey is coming back. So that people who prefer my style of play also have their drama classics. Furthermore, I assume so that the MC has a much bigger decision ahead of them. The midterms are over uand he has to choose a career path. I'm looking forward to that choice.

Lol. Lol. Lol. The CHICK MC is supposed to be INFANTIL? Google a definition of that word. Yes the MC has deficits, I won't deny that. But the CHICK MC is much more adult and mature than all DIK's and Alpha's together.

Let us come to the consequences.

A person, let's call him MC, makes a wrong decision. Consequently, there will be negative consequences.
A person, let's call him MC, makes a right decision. Consequently, there will be positive consequences.

In my opinion, I prefer to accept positive consequences. But that's up to each person to decide for himself.

Season 20 for all I care.

I hope it will take much less seasons to make Riona cum from vaginal sex.

The problem with Patreon is that incentivize endless developments. If DPC is making a good amount of money every month, there is no need to rush the development, not to say to finish the game. It´s the opposite of profesional game studios, that only make real money once they release the finished game. So... Where is the problem, for DPC, in being developing the game until his death or, at least, retirement?

The only thing that can stop him continue making this game forever, is boredom. Writers get bored if they have to write always the same story. That´s the reason most of TV shows lose freshness after the third season or so and the reason big game studios drop or restart from scratch successful franchises, like Mass Effect or The Witcher: the writers run out of ideas, and new writers that weren´t there from the beginning have different visions to the ones of the original writers, and the story and characters losses quality and coherence because of that. In this case, it´s a one-man-show. I suppose DPC won´t be able to maintain BaDIK for years and years like a soap-opera.

About an episode every three months, that´s we all are praying for But again: why the guy would invest in creating a team to develop faster this game (more expenses, more risk) if he´s doing decent money right now? It depends of his vision. Maybe he´s a business man that has the vision of creating a indie studio, create jobs and make really big money. Maybe he just wants a decent income every month without assuming risks, and that´s all. So far, I think is the second case, but maybe now he´s selling the game in GOG too, the guy is thinking in expanding his business. Probably only DPC knows.

Maybe if patrons complain in Patreon about the long waiting between releases, DPC feels the pressure and reacts, but I don´t know if that´s happening.

This also applies to digital stores. In Steam and GOG, the game can be in early access as much as you like.

As for the potential hiring of the team. I used to be sure that he would come to this, but now I'm resigned. This will never happen. And it's not about money.

He has the maximum loyal audience. Everyone on Patreon worships him. I think the thing is that he is not confident in himself as a leader. Being a team boss is not the same as working for yourself. This requires multitasking skills. be responsible and tough in making decisions. For me, it would be ideal if DPC hired someone who could lead the team and deal with hiring, assignment of responsibilities, dismissal, and so on. If the DPC could, relatively speaking, be a game designer, then another person should be engaged in producing and various organizational issues.

But I think he will never go for it. He sees the game as his brainchild, it means a lot to him and therefore he is unlikely to entrust it to anyone.

I wouldn't call NTR trash, as some people get a big rise out of it. Who am I or you to deny their pleasure?

What is trash is demanding NTR in a game that is not intended to have any.

Exactly my point, maybe I didn't make it clear, English not my first language, I called it trash for this specific game, cause it will ruin everything. If someone want's NTR, I can suggest Pandora's Box, but in this game it will ruin everything.

 

[ciberma7865]

hell she didn't interfere in your business and didn't care if you banged chicks on the side

*cough* Cathy *cough*

A choice is when you choose from something

But even if you go only for a girl your MC make a choice, he choose to be with her. I could get you being mad if there were no warning in the game, if you choose to date multiple girl your MC feel like shit. Even with Sage you have the conversation about the rebound guy as a warning (Sage is a LI so no casual sex)

 

[sixart]

The essence of episode 8 is in choosing and accepting the consequences of choice. You offer a choice without a choice, a safe and boring way.

Wrong... the whole game is about this not just chapter 8 ! Whether or not it has the title Crossroads... this just shuts out the possibilities for good ! Boring ??? Why the fuck has every single main girl a path ( and possibly some of the side girls ) if you are not willing to play them ?! Boring... yeah... right !

just need to brace myself for next episode

Yeah that you do... have more or less 6-7 months to brace yourself !

 

[Mr. NoNose]

Can you all recommend your favorite games where the main theme is not incest like this one? I'd really appreciate it.

 

[TajaRrR]

Yeah that you do... have more or less 6-7 months to brace yourself !

If update will be big enough I can wait, I just need to find another game worth playing and that I don't have..

 

[sixart]

It was stated that future updates will not be this long ( like 7-8 ) ... ( if I read DPC right not BY FAR !!! )

No.

By giving money on Patreon you are directly contributing financially to the development of this game which wouldn't be possible otherwise. There is no reason for "patrons to complain in Patreon", and since you don't know if that's happening, you're getting this game for free, yet complaining anyways?

If Patreon didn't exist and DPC had to sell games like this as a "finished" product only, he probably would not be making these games at all and instead would be flipping burgers or whatever the rest of us do to pay the rent every month. It is clear DPC isn't milking development since he is releasing finished "seasons" on Steam and has finished a game previously, Acting Lessons. Sometimes this shit just takes a lot of time, yet DPC is much faster than most indie developers.

Something important to remember is that Patreon makes creation of games like this possible in the first place. Otherwise there is not a big industry for adult games. Most adult games really sucked back in the 90s and early 2000s. Like porn studios, only those with a lot of money already were making quality products. Websites like Onlyfans and Patreon have enabled small studios and independents to create adult material without a huge gatekeeper with tons of money to produce their work. Things are so much different now than 20 years ago when you had to have a finished product and try to market it on your own.

You are literally living in the best time for adult content thanks to websites like this. Rejoice. You could have been born in the year 1300 and gotten slapped for looking at your cousin's ankle the wrong way.

Well then this sucks a little.. I hope it will be a little bit sooner than 7 months..

Now that's pretty fucking funny, thanks for that

100% Bella is da goat, some are just not worthy playing her path Hope they are getting Bella's "Axe treatment" in ep9 for that break up through phone call

 

[kyrlian]

hell she didn't interfere in your business and didn't care if you banged chicks on the side.

No. Bella rejects you if Cathy sucks your magic dik. Maybe she likes to keep her car free of stains .

I love the character and Young Bella is the prettiest of them all, the OMG scene was awesome. But to me she is the LI with the biggest plot holes and the weakest motivations. She shelters and takes you home with no real reason since you are a complete stranger, just another student. No teacher would risk her job like that, she should be more careful (like the scene with Jade). Wow, the Ice Queen takes you to her home, takes you to dinner, in her car drunk, all of that without knowing you, I wonder what a 'Fire Queen' would do.

It all makes much less sense after watching her flashback.

And she does all these things fully knowing that you are after her best friend. After warning Jill that you are trouble, excuse me what? You're kissing the 'boy' you despise and boss around and the 'trouble' almost the first day and never say a word to your best friend, you are really lousy at protecting her let me tell you ma'am.

But yeah despite this, I love her. And she is one of the most charismatic characters.

It shows of course that she developed something like more than "perv' boy" feeling, but it's far, really far from any kind of romantic feeling.

It's a slow burn. When you do a Quinn route, you see the little details. She explicitly chooses you for the cumpetition. She is probably jealous of Maya (maybe that's why she makes her life a living hell), she takes care of you when you are high on the roof... there is a pattern through the game, ending with the broccoli. For Quinn the challenge is intimacy and emotions, not sex. Terrified of showing emotions and losing control, the next step should be to run away and there will be a scene when you go to her and everything finally explodes.

idk. I love her path and I'm in to the very end fully knowing that the shitstorm is coming and she will end up expelled, dead or in prison or we'll get a bittersweet ending at best. Poor Riona is in danger too.

Oh, and the rain scene + follow up in the mansion is arguably the best in the game. Or one of the best at the very least.

Does anyone know how to keep their gallery when they play the new episode? I thought my save files would have my gallery but it doesn't for some reason. I usually redownload the whole BAD file with the new episode and transfer my saves into the new file.

 

[EthanP.]

So, I've been playing the game and I wanted to throw a theory of mine here after picking up some things. It's about Jill and Bella. I haven't fully played their routes, so I'm likely missing some information. But I think I know the reason on why they are close friends.

We know that Jill is very against bullying, like very adamant against it. This makes me wonder if her sister killed herself due to being in that situation, be it due to problematic friends or family. Now, in the case of Bella. Maybe she had a similar situation with her husband or he might have died for some other reason. The thing is that Jill and Bella might have met in one of those circles in which people talk about their traumatic experiences. That's why Jill is now trying to do a campaign about her sister, and maybe Bella has't been able to fully move on yet (at least before meeting the MC). An alternative case for Bella could be the theory of her and James losing their child, which could also fit in all this.

I have no idea if this has been theorized before, but I wanted to share it here.

SanchoMod (WIP) update:

Added auto opponent depletion concept to Brawler (similar to last night's Test's auto completion) to original post here.

Here's the teasers if you're too lazy to click the link, but the link has full explanations of course. Regards.

It´s possible, but we know that Jill suffered bulling when she was a child. Little Jill tells her sister that her mom had to cut her hair because what did a kid to her in the school, and it wasn´t the first time. And her sister tells her that she should not allow it and how to defend herself. It doesn´t seem that Jill´s sister would allow to be bullied. Also, it´s supposed that Bella is waiting for her husband to return. Unless she´s delusional, her husband is not dead.

The gallery, rewards and wallpaper unlocks are saved in the persistent file which can be found inside the saves game folder.

We know little about Jill's story and virtually nothing about Bella's.

But from Jill's flashback, the one at the beginning of the seventh chapter, Lana seems to be a strong and self-confident girl who advises Jill on how to deal with bullies, what we don't know is why the family has sent her away from home, because of some behavior that Jill says has made her sister the black sheep of the family.

Then, whether it was this choice of hers that was somehow fatal or whether it was simply an accident, we don't know yet.
