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

[RukiRG]

I agree, removing Sandy improves things significantly. Not sure about the death angle, though. Did he ever say nobody was going to die? I don't recall that. He just said it wasn't going to be as dark and traumatic as AL was, so probably no forced choose-who-dies kind of options. As long as it's not Cammy or Riona I'm cool with it. Jailtime? That's OK. Death? Not so much. Unless Becky gets hit by a car. Then we'll probably see her rolling around campus like Heather did in the flashback.

In my opinion, nobody is gonna die in this one. This game is already "sad" due to mc mother story, Jill's sister, emotional scenes like the one between mc and Jill in her car etc

I wish the Dev would make a game called Being A HOT. Playing as a Female Protagonist in the Being A DIK universe. I think it would be much more exciting and fun. I know most people won't like the idea but that's all it is, an idea. I don't even think the Dev would be interested. I'm sure he's busy and focused on Season 3 and beyond.

Maybe an dlc after the story ends

You are right about everything.

But everything you wrote can be avoided by the MC.

Tybalt has no real friends and if the MC makes peace with the Preps at the dorm party, that bomb is defused.

Josy and Maya can testify that he did not start a fire during the Preps party, that he did not activate the sprinkler system. This proves that Tybalt is lying. However, that will not stop Tybalt from continuing to lie.

If the MC does not respond to Jade's advances, there is no need to worry. Jade will respect, perhaps even appreciate, the MC being true to his LI and to himself. By doing so, Jade also acknowledges that the MC has learned something in her lessons. I believe that Jade will be this way for Maya, Josy and the MC.

Jade is not angry if our MC refuse her? Why she would help us (mainly MC) then?

So, it seems like pinkcake decided we're not allowed to use the cheats/wt mods, which are way better than the walkthough I paid for on Steam...
What happens then?

Well, since I can't play anymore (game closes at the end of chapter 5), I just unlocked everything by mods, watched the scenes, closed the game... and ignored the rest of the story...

I'm not entirely sure the dev is going to get the result he expects by blocking a mod that is pretty much needed considering the amount of content and choices in the game at this point.
I mean, not everyone is willing to replay the entire thing from scratch, just to get some additional scenes, let's be real here, as good as the game is, this is an AVN, not the next generation AAA game.

One thing's for sure, I'm done buying his games until he stops deciding how we should play.

What's the funny thing? Well, I stayed away from getting the leaked version, and waited for the steam release, so I could play season2 in one go, and truly enjoy what I thought was a really excellent game, so, thank you for fucking that up.

Tell this to the guys from RCDP, R*, Ubisoft and other devs which do the same thing in their games

 

[Jimayo]

so I assume going more into DIK pts gets you with some ladies and more chick pts gets you into other paths?
Any suggestions on first play thru?

Chick works for every LI. DIK is more about side girls, though DIKs still get Sage as an option.

 

[Tserriednich'sNen]

But would it be a choice, or will it be a forced event where it happens no matter what? That's what has me concerned if it does happen. If she's looking for a side fling, she'd be screwing over Jill just to get to her now boyfriend.

I don't know who has me more concerned right now going into S3; Zoey or Bianca

There's this theory that her man is cheating on her, which if true will probably lead to her gunning for some of MC once she finds out or gets dumped.

okay, but surely it would be a choice to turn her down I would think. I mean, to go after your friend's boyfriend is a shit thing to do.

Either way, I don't want my MC touching her or any one of Jill's friends. That's just wrong, on both sides.

I need this in the game, I need this , I want this , I demand this. Make It happen DPC you know you want it

Josy isn't that tall, 0/10 would not bang.

 

[mightybored]

Re-playing because I wanted to have a Josy/Maya run, and realized MC was funnier than he intended. When he gets back to Maya's dorm after the Initiation, Maya says she was sitting on her bed, "hiding and hoping you wouldn't see me".

His response to the secret lesbian is that she's bad at hiding and should have been in the closet instead.

 

[YoloCrayolo21]

How long do you guys reckon this game will be? I think we're at the halfway point, but it wouldn't surprise me if we got 20 chapters

 

[mightybored]

The plan is 16, but there might be a 17th chapter for an epilogue.

 

[PashafromRussia]

No one knows. We can assume. There was a hint in the game itself that there are still 8 chapters left, which means there will be only 16. But this number can be increased by mini-episodes. That's why I'm really looking forward to the new Questions and Answers that the developer announced this month. I will ask him
1) Are new mini episodes planned and if so, how many?
2) Has he changed his mind about the potential working with the team and will he hire additional assistants.
3) How many chapters he plans in the end.
For me, the answers to these questions will give an understanding of the future of the project and whether it is worth supporting and monitoring in the future at all.

Maybe we can get to her without screwing over Jill....What If you doesn't need to be in Jill's route to be in a fling with Bianca , given Bianca's character is open for that. The only requirement is that you 'help Jill in her stage fright'. That would be fucking marvelous.

It's hard for me to imagine this even in the long term. Now Josie and Jill are rivals. The game literally pushes their foreheads together, which I have already said several times (MC did not tell Josie or Jill about the breakup before the ending of update, Josie is jealous of Jill, but not jealous of Sage). Jill is an owner, which of course will be easy to cheat (which I will regularly do on her branch), but it will be difficult to bring her to the idea of a threesome.

Getting a solo Bianca route without having to deal with Jill's bullshit would be fucking marvelous. Since Lynette and Bianca's mom were friends/knew each other, Bianca could help MC learn more about Lynette and in turn they grow closer and closer and before you know it, MC is balls deep in her in her mansion.

Aren’t those scenes mutually exclusive?

I don’t think you be on the Jill route and see that kiss with Quinn. If so, and that scene is in fact what makes Bianca aware of her partner cheating, it could be that you can’t be with Jill and expose the cheating. It would at least make the routes distinct. Have an entire arc with Bianca with her boyfriend… unaware he’s cheating. Conversely on other routes it could be a catalyst to have Bianca distance herself from that friend group and a whole different side of her comes out.

It would also allow people on a non-Jill route access to her as a character without involving Jill. Just an idea… Bella route still wouldn’t make any sense. Why would she be ok with a guy who did to her friend literally what her boyfriend did to her.

I can’t see any way Bianca forgives the MC for banging Bella enough to cooperate with the whole mother thing.

 

[Lostanddamned]

too marvelous to be true...

I really hope DPC doesn't make it so if you don't go on Jill's route, you never find out about the truth about Lynette and you figure out some half-truths that MC just accepts. And in the epilogue he goes like "I never found out about my mom's story, I wish I spent more time with Jill, maybe she would have helped me find out more". That would be pretty fucking stupid.

But you know MC is dumb enough to not realize that to find out everything about Lynette, he just has to be balls deep in Bianca and he'll be set for life - he already comes from money, Bianca is probably loaded and has a huge ass mansion, has a homie that always has his back and would kill anyone if they greeted MC the wrong way (Magnar), soon-to-be president of the best fraternity and all the chicks seem to dig him.

He's already doing that, lol. For example, if you don't fuck Jade and shoot it on video, you will never know who could have leaks video to Burke , that is, you will lose part of the plot. In addition, the Dik player knows a little more about the restaurant and Quinn's role in everything then Chick. Conversely, the Chick character knows a little more about his mother than DIK. In addition, in episode 8, only Dik character knows that Bianca's boyfriend is cheating on her (although this does not play any role, he does not know Jill's friends) and only Chick character learns about some kind of connection of Jill, her friends with him.

 

[Lostanddamned]

The MC will learn more, maybe everything, about his mother even without Bianca. Lynette certainly had more than just 2 girlfriends and maybe other friends. Luis, for example, could also know more as a friend of Neil, Neil is forgetful, but that does not have to apply to Luis. Luis says to the MC that the older he gets, the less he looks like his father.

We don't know who sent the MC the stuff from Lynette. But it was someone who knows that the MC is Lynette's son. That was in EP6 and the MC sees Bianca for the first time in EP8. From this we can conclude that there is more than one way the MC learns more or everything from his mother.

What if Burke is actually the good guy in BaDIK and all he tries to do is help MC get what is rightfully his. I mean, like, Stephen and Jade probably knew Lynette and knew the story, they also knew what a cunt Lynette's dad was and swore to Lynette that they will help MC in every way they can.

The inconsistency in the story is the biggest issue though, the Cathy cluck thing is still unresolved and hell it took a back seat to all the other retarded stuff going on in the story (Blackmail, Patrick and etc.) Same thing with the Jade video, if you show it, it somehow leaks to Burke and he has it. But we never find out who gave it to him.

Bianca's boyfriend cheating on her is his loss, our gain. Time for Bianca to be with whom she rightfully has to be.

wow, very late to the party, but man what an amazing game is this, loving the story and the characters very much

that was a very original choice on DPC's part.

he gave a hint (if confirmed) to those who won't care, while those who might care (I hope not just for some discount drama "he cheated on her, all men are pigs, I can't trust anyone, I'm going to have my hymen reinstalled in protest") will only find out afterwards

if non-Jill were to meet Bianca with the concert has been lost a great opportunity, it is not irremediable

A really nice thought.

I have a fanfiction where Stephen Burke is the executor of MC's estate. He invested the money for a long time so that it would multiply, and then when he took responsibility for the tuition, the money was invested in such a way that it was refinanced. The Burkes actually seem to be socially minded. They adopted Sage. Stephen and Jade, on the other hand, help certain students by using MC's self-funded inheritance. Perhaps Mona was simply tested by Stephen and kicked out. She was part of Quinn's restaurant. So not worthy of getting the tuition.

But who knows. We will all have to wait for EP9.
