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

[SomboSteel]

This is not a detour. It's a backstory for a character that's likely to become prominent. Just like some other characters have had backstories, this one just happens to be a bit longer and a little more interactive.

the problem for many being that this character seems to exist solely to stir up shit after DPC forces the MC to commit. Zoey is markedly different from pretty much every other character in this game that we have been introduced to thus far. she started as basically a prop in MC's backstory and has been reintroduced to the story as a deliberate foil

It took about 2-3 months off the development schedule, starting around Christmas time.

DPC could have taken a 2-3 month holiday after pretty much hammering BaDIK out since late 2018, but instead of recharging by taking a massive break (like every other lame-ass developer in this field who suddenly suffers some form of mental health issue and needs to take a year off), he tried something a little new, but still relevant to the rest of the story.

It definitely didn't need to be as long as it was. At least it didn't need to be for the sake of getting across what was conveyed (i.e. Zoey still hasn't fucked anyone other than the mc, and she's now back in the story), but maybe DPC needed to do this for his own sake.

But to discard this Interlude... There's not a single aspect of the game that 100% of all players like:

• Some want M&J to be side lined because they "cucked" the mc,
• Some hate that Josy and Maya are "forced" on the mc,
• Some wish DnG to have never existed (because it took away from development of the rest of the game),
• Some don't like Jill and would have preferred that dating her was never forced on the mc,
• Some don't want Zoey to come back (because it complicates things),
• Some don't want the Interlude (same reason as DnG),
• and so on...

If all those random dislikes were catered for, the game would be something else instead of what we have. And what we have is a monumental effort from a single developer whose product is an extremely entertaining, very, very professional product.

All I want DPC to do, is keep up the good work.

say what you will about the other stuff above that people didnt like, but they at least included the MC (the player) and the girls from the banner. at least DnG is interwoven into the game itself (and for others that really didnt like it, it at least provided lewd scenes). Interlude is none of those things.

DPC can take a break if he wants, he works harder than most in this specific industry (not that its a very high bar, tbh). but i think the actual majority would rather have him lightly working on the main BaDIK story in his time off rather then outright delay it making the interlude. and while i know plenty will disagree with this, DPC makes a SHIT TON of money and he could write a script and hire other people to do something like this while he is on vacation or working on the main story. there are plenty of talented people who im sure could emulate his work to his satisfaction. just because he chooses to carry the whole project on his back doesnt mean its logical or even the best choice for the people who pay him (or even himself as a creator). choosing to burden oneself unnecessarily isnt praiseworthy, IMO.

and im not one of those tin foil hat people who thinks he is stalling to milk the patreon donations, but considering how he makes his money (and how much he makes) the longer it takes to finish the BaDIK the bigger his pockets get. and this is coming from somebody who used to pay him a considerable amount because i appreciated his effort and the overall product.

and i too want DPC to keep making quality smut stories, but this just seemed like it was ultimately 2 min short film that was turned into a feature length movie for reasons only DPC is privy to

Can anyone show me where to put the season 2 transfer file save ?

When you actually create the transfer data file at the end of S2, it creates a file in AppData/Roaming/RenPy/persistent. Unless you're on a different PC then you don't need to do anything.

this interlude was actually a lot more enjoyable than I thought it would be. Excited for the next season.

Is anyone using linux also having the problem of beingADIK.sh not running?

Nope
Check the permissions... but to tell you the truth since this is archived it should work for you just the same as it does for me

Strange.. the permissions are the same as beingADIK 0.8.. the 0.8.0 opens and works normally, just the interlude I click "run" and it does nothing, I tried to wait a while but it just doesn't run. I'll keep trying here anyway. Thank you anyway

Is the interlude to season 3 a mandatory thing? like will choices from this affect season 3?

Try the compressed... dunno what should be different but it's like 700MB so it ain't taking much time and effort

A very strange ending. Apparently, simultaneous relationships with Jade and Sage are canon. There's no point going on the Sage route if you're not fucking Jade. Pink literally forces us to quarrel with Sage even if we were good guys.
By the end of episode 8, it was already clear. Pink has canonical paths that are the most logical and side paths of the players, in which there are a lot of plot blunders. The whole choice is essentially illusory. To enjoy the game we have to play as Pink wants.

U assume that by Sage knocking the door? I think shes mad at something small, like Halloween party, Riona in jail, Derek being a dad, something like that.

 

[NotTheReal16]

I just bella and Jill on DIK bath save file options please

Yes

At least once you have to complete... after that you can skip right to the end where you can decide whether Zoey takes the phone or talks to Emma

Is zoey chick coming back for season 3? or nah?

 

[LewdMiester001]

All problems are solved with the following- don't download interlude
Ta Dah, now you are not salty. *Throws Zoey under a bus* "Be gone Thot!"

 

[NotTheReal16]

Who's the cannon main LI? cause I hope its jill. She's the perfect girl imo in this series. second bella

 

[ScareKing]

Sage seems like the only girl that are not in love with MC, even when u pick her, looks like shes dont know what to do, i think her path will lead too a breakup before even start.

Hope so, cause in my game i don't even have the options for jill or bella even tho i followed the jill path from basically the beginning.

Yes

Wrong take. She's in love with the Mc she simply has trouble expressing because the guy very different from those she encountered and dated before. She's dealing with something new from her perspective and she's still learning how to act to a guy like him as a Lover.
