VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.11.1] [DrPinkCake]

[felicemastronzo]

There are many aspects of Being a DIK that I really like (and a few that I dislike, but that's for another rant), but perhaps the most important one is the connection I feel with its characters. This results solely from the quality of the writing. I'm not saying DPC is on the level of prominent authors, nor will he be winning major literary awards, but the fact remains he is writing a story in which I not only care about the characters, I have enough invested emotion in them that I feel their pain, sadness, anger, and happiness, and often (but not always) I can relate to their feelings.

So call me crazy, but despite the fact that in Episode 8 my heart melted when Jill came knocking, that my heart was racing after the poolside dinner date with Bella, that my stomach was in knots at the lake with Sage (even though I knew the outcome), despite all the emotional states in which I've made myself comfortable over the last 8 episodes putting in the work to woo a specific girl or girls, I WANT Zoey as a love interest. I WANT her to turn the MC's world topsy-turvy. Not despite the chaos that will ensue, but because of it.

If DPC's writing style is consistent, then I expect he will make Zoey's presence either enrage, beguile, dispirit, or delight me. It is primarily these types of emotional responses that make BaDIK addicting to me (well, that and Bella). And although I don't want or expect the gut-wrenching experience of a burning house, I do want the emotional brawling to continue, even though as The Goddess puts it...

I'm pretty optimistic (blind faith is not my thing) that it will bring something interesting.

but for the very reasons you point out (the involvement created with the LIs and the main SGs) it's not my first wish that Zoey be added to the line up for split screen time. there are already so many girls who would need space and to be given a story and not instead be left floating.

she's fine to enliven the plot, she'll almost certainly do a better job than recent gimmicks, but as a love interest who el should make room?

I hope Zoey and MC can be good friends in my MJ branch. I also won't bother if Maya and Josy get a lilttles jealous when them see MC and his ex talking, despite they have nothing to worry since my MC will be faithfull but i think is cute see Jojo and May with jealous of MC

I'm just throwing it out there calling Maya May is the most disgusting thing I think I've ever heard in all 8000 pages of this forum.

You can't imagine how happy I am about the Interlude and Zoey. There is some political shit going on in the world (especially in Russia and Ukraine) and I need to take my mind off it all a little. I even got a damn depression because of all this. I hope the DPC will help me get out of depression again, as he already did once.

So close...

I won't play it till ep 9 no matter how much praise it gets, if it's avoidable i'll skip it altogether, i do the same with nora & granny stripper.
The problem with zoey is that she's made relevant to the plot so i can't get rid of her.

well, to be frank, this is ridiculous...

i dont like zoey either, i dont want her back in the story and i dont think that she will be a positive add to the game and plot...

But why will you skip it all just like that without even knowing what the interlude will bring exactly?

You dont have a fucking clue what this interlude will give us ,maybe much more than most people think? maybe way more background about other characters not just zoey? and of course its pretty clear to me, we will at least learn something about the MC as well.

Could it really be a possible damage to you to play it? Dont think so... Yeah you dont like Zoey, i too... but i like BaD a lot and how its telling the story and how the characters are made. So iam pretty sure i will have at least a bit fun with the interlude, even if i dont like zoey. And of course i will play it, maybe not at day 1, but sooner or later... i would prefer a whole episode 9 over this interlude every time. But lets face it... its another part of being a dik and as DPC told us, the start of season 3 too, so of course i will play it, and iam very curious how this will turn out.

To shut yourself out of it just out of despite is not very reasonable.

 

[Xabder]

will the interlude only be about zoey?

Hi all, sorry for the probably dumb question but could someone give me an idea when we are to expect next update?
From skimming last few pages it seems we're getting an interlude version, maybe soon?
Thanks!

 

[felicemastronzo]

will the interlude only be about zoey?

the story is all about MC, so the interlude will be too

from the previews we already know that Mc will be there, probably the story of the interlude will start from Zoey's departure and will end at her return

u're much harsher to her than i was, maybe she will add something positive to the plot at some point, i'm just not interested in her character's background, there's many character backgrounds i'm not interested in, she's not the only one.

Also, it feels like we were in the middle of something great, there was all this buildup & then all of a sudden dev decides to teleport us to this new setting with a new pov that no one asked for, it's as if i'm being forced to play another game, fuck that! I don't even find her sexy, at least that way i would have played it for the sex scenes.

But why will you skip it all just like that without even knowing what the interlude will bring exactly?

i've no problem spoiling myself by reading this thread's comment section.

Are you so arrogant that you presume to speak for everyone? Or are you so arrogant that you are calling anybody that cares about Zoey a "no one"?

Either way, get your arrogant attitude out of here please.

Yes yes, there are dozens of you. Look, my comment was meant as a joke about how many years we'll be stuck waiting for BAD updates, not to insult the multitude of Zoey fans out there. I'm not even a Zoey hater, more a Zoey meh-er.

 

[AchedCroissant]

not to insult the multitude of Zoey fans out there.

Well well

 

[Miskatonic81]

Well well

The use of the word multitude being a bit tongue in cheek, admittedly.

 

[vogelbeest]

Well well

No no no! You're not the multitude all by yourself! Unless you're cloned that is.... hmmm, AchedClones..... is that a thing?

 

[sixart]

No no no! You're not the multitude all by yourself! Unless you're cloned that is.... hmmm, AchedClones..... is that a thing?

Yep it's Chip !

 

[AchedCroissant]

Yep it's Chip !

One day I will change the sig and the pic for Josy's to confuse everyone... again
