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

[AchedCroissant]

oh, you should know this one.

Hey you missed a fight a few days ago

 

[felicemastronzo]

What does Arieth have to do with it now?

I like Arieth because she probably has a good heart. I also think she will become important to the story. Yes, she likes to fuck everyone, but that's probably why she knows what's going on B&R better than anyone else. Pillow talk.

Arieth at least has been at BR since Lana's time

 

[nogling]

Are there any chances of pregnancy in the game?

Arieth is part of the 21 Jump Street she choose to fail her classes so that her age doesn't trigger anyone

Shit, I just got an idea what Maya said.

"Maya, you're not the daughter I wanted!"

What if Patrick really is her stepfather, but didn't say that to Maya?

What if Maya searched for and found her birth father, but he didn't want or accept Maya because Maya is a the result of an extramarital affair?

Is dalli_x some kind of rogue AI inexhaustibly posting these theories? Can we order up a Turing test in this thread just to be sure?

The term

You must be registered to see the links

defines video games that required an investment of tens of millions of dollars in budget (when it's not hundreds of millions of dollars) and a number of developers that reaches three digits. Being A DIK does not achieved such a production scale and it's rather an ambitious amateur game; Dr PinkCake demonstrates a certain expertise in the staging, the dialogues and the code. The distribution of this visual novel via Steam and gog.com also reflects a move to embrace a wider audience, beyond Patreon fans. But, even if he dedicates himself full time, his skills are limited compared to professional studios.

In my opinion, the majority of adult games are mediocre, and the few that do manage to succeed are too quickly glorified. Being a DIK, while deserving its popularity, is still a small project regarding indie games, some of which are released after 5-6 years of development with 3D environment, original music, dubbed sequences, sometimes already translated. This makes me put Dr PinkCake's work into perspective even though I appreciate playing his games.

By definition BaDIK can't be an 'AAA' game, but I think Kellerman is right that DPC aspires to that sort of high gloss, detail-heavy style. How well it succeeds is mostly a question of personal taste.

Doki Doki Literature Club! is a game created on Ren'Py which is completely out of the box, not hesitating to break the fourth wall or delete files. I'm not a specialist of this engine, but I wanted to illustrate the fact that there is the tool and what we do with it.

I would find it brilliant for my part, that Jill's jealousy pushes her to delete all the game saves about other love interests, in the manner of the game mentioned above.

Honestly, I consider that sort of thing a cheap trick, not a mark of skill in writing.

In this particular case, having Jill delete other LI files would make no sense since Jill is neither tech savvy nor genre savvy. Moreover, it would be counterproductive since the game is clearly intended to be played multiple times.

so Arieth is everyone's best friend, including Jade and Cathe...

Trying to know the mind of Dalli is a perilous endeavor, but I think his point was that Sarah told Becky long before Mona even arrived at B&R.

Becky may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but she's clearly not incompetent. I can easily believe she'd know enough about the secret tuition deal to cause problems, but still keep the secret well enough that it isn't common knowledge.

 

[mightybored]

Are there any chances of pregnancy in the game?

Technically no, but the teaser for the next chapter has a positive pregnancy test in it. So there's been speculation as to who the parents are.

 

[BeingADikDik]

Are there any chances of pregnancy in the game?

I won't presume MC's gender, but based on MC's sex I'd say the chances MC gets pregnant are low. Perhaps Dr. Burke might disagree?

You know very well there is nothing weird about it. Becky is Sarah friend, she obviously gossiped to her. Becky is a slut, but she is a Stupid Slut, unlike Sara or Mel, they at least earn money by being a slut.

so there isn't anything weird. Even Sage is a gossip bitch. I mean she tell the girls, who you think has the best ass.

Doesn't Josy tell Maya that she spent time learning the secret codes? So Josy would know more than Becky.

Also we the player know what the free tuition is, and it's not a HOT secret, so Becky sending Maya on that wild goose chase, doesn't work, at least not to those of us that actually pay attention to the words on our screen instead of the boobs on our screen.

 

[Kellermann]

Arieth is part of the 21 Jump Street she choose to fail her classes so that her age doesn't trigger anyone

I'd go with that theory sooner than the one everyone usually pushes for teenaged cop Lily. Arieth actually being smart and/or undercover would be just the kind of silly stunt DPC would really get a thrill from dropping on players later in game. Or perhaps having Arieth actually be an idiot savant who puts MC and Magnar to shame by easily solving a problem in one of their STEM classes..while students and teacher all look on with mouths agape. Then she goes right back to dumb by spouting a normal Ariethism.

 

[Lightaces]

Are there any chances of pregnancy in the game?

Probably not in the kink sense, though we've already seen a positive pregnancy test. But we know that is NOT one of the women Tremolo is fucking.

While I'll take Derek's word for it that Becky is stupid I'm not 100% sure she is smart enough to be stupid

 

[dalli_x]

While I'll take Derek's word for it that Becky is stupid I'm not 100% sure she is smart enough to be stupid

There are two types of stupidity.

Artificial stupidity creates free time and makes people laugh, but can be turned off at any time. Artificial. (Derek, dalli_x, etc.)

Natural stupidity creates free time and makes people laugh, but can't be turned off. (Becky)

 

[godkingxerxes]

What do we know about how a girl gets her tuition? Well, I haven't read anything explicit about it in the game, only hints.

We only know that some know something about it and others think it's a rumor.

But if it's true, how does a girl get that tuition?
Yes, we suspect Burke has something to do with it, because he deletes Mona's file. Wait a minute. Mona refuses Burke and old men, but already had the tuition? So how could Mona have had the tuition before?

All we really know is that we don't know everything.

It's all part of the restaurant, we know Dragon Girl and Camelot have their school copped.

And Maya would have got the offer, but Quinn decided she couldn't handle it.

Based on her bitch fit in episode 6, Quinn made the right decision.

But which is Arieth? I kind of think she is her own level of stupidity.

 

[Warscared]

Good point about the Maya Sage conversation.

I had the feeling during Sage and Chad's conversation in EP8 that Sage was intentionally withholding her knowledge of Chad and Troy.

Of course. Through Maya, she learns that Josy and Maya are in a relationship. Maya's father Patrick found out, which is how Maya's problem came about.

Wow. She has her emotions under control and keeps Chad and Troy's secret to herself. Hopefully it won't fall on the MC's feet that he told Josy about it.

AND WHO OUTED MAYA AND jOSIE TO PATRICK DALLI?

i still hold my theory that it was Tommy and that he was spying on you on your 1st date with Josy,
and when Derek talked that the MC had returned home for a date Tommy connected the dots and called Monica to rat out on Josy and thats why you only half fucked Josy in ep.2!

Tommy as been behind Maya and Josy misery from the start, thinking he is protecting Josy and not understanding that he is hurting Josy ... alot like Patrick!

after Mona it seems very difficult for Sara to talk about the restaurant with the dumbest girl in the BR (except Arieth)

then this deep friendship between Becky and Sara would result from what? the fact that Sara attended her party? Sara doesn't strike me as someone who has all these deep friendships....

yeah well. Sarah can not be at the gloryhole serviçe all the time so she found a dumb bitch to pitch in for her when she is not in the mood!

just Like Rhyona got Troy to fill in for her at the gloryhole serviçe!

but the question then is... who is filling in for Mel when she does not feel like it? can Troy be doubledipping into the gloryhole cookie jar money?

You guys calling Becky slut because she has sex with whoever she wants, comparing with Sarah who has sex for money. Sarah will have sex with anyone either if she wants to have sex with them or not as long as they pay. Becky is just a girl who wants to have fun as much as our MC. Arieth is another girl who just want to have fun as well.

But we call girls sluts if they do what men do. If a man sleeps with many women, it is "having fun", "enjoying being single", harem. If a girl sleeps with a lot of guys, they are sluts, whores, etc.

Lets take this day 01 of a new year, to learn how to treat women better and learn that they can have as much sex around as men. So all men are stupid too, because they have sex with a lot of girls and earn 0 money.

dude Sarah as all the other girls at the restaurant can refuse sex even if the dude pays for it! its been established!
What happened with Mona and it became clear after the newspaper with the Burkes and the rumour that was stated in the paper is that Tuiton means fucking the patron, which is why Mona got her tuiton rejected!

Arieth at least has been at BR since Lana's time

dude Arieth is the result of rape drugs that where laced into her drinks by Dawe! she was smart enough to get into college... so what happened for her to become dumb after getting there?

Or its just weed

nahh you need something stronger dude!

at least to create theories!

at least not to those of us that actually pay attention to the words on our screen instead of the boobs on our screen.

hey, i do both!

Just got done with the Lily path for lack of other words. No other LI or side influence so to see what was what.

1. She is VERY ambitious and goal oriented. As much or more than Josy.
2. Yet, she is direct and real and even dare I say.... safe for MC.
3. From the romance side of things... I like her as much as any of the L.I.s.

So since I am pretty new. HOW long would it usually take for new content? or another Episode to be released? 6 Months?
