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

[Cricco]

He probably means porn games but not like there are that many mainstream franchises with a sole female protagonist. Tomb Raider, Resident Evil and Horizon that i can think of. Now why anyone would stare at Geralt's ass for hours on end but deprive themselves of Lara's is anyone's guess

 

[Conor Adams]

zoey = best friend and fuck buddy

and that's just the character introduction is pretty short
the game interlude has a lot of scenes and important details with mc
it was actually pretty fun
And I've never played a female protagonist game before

I just don't know why some people didn't like the update. I'm pretty sure that they are playing this game just for lewd scenes.

DrPinkCake has stated (on Patreon) that the Interlude comes at the halfway point of the story. There will be a Season 4, which should end the game. A total of 16 episodes plus interlude, and maybe separate epilogues. Unless there is a long time break somewhere along the way, that would put the end of Season 4 at about the end of the first semester.

EDIT: Corrected episode number error

Interlude was a boring read. Didnt really care for anything with Zoe as all she is going to do is screw up and complicate the MC's already


Sorry man. I have loved Being a DIK but Interlude was a boring read. Didn't really care for anything with Zoe as all she is going to do is screw up and complicate the MC's already complicated life. Thanks for the effort, you put in as always but to me it was a waste as I really didn't care anything about Zoe. She made her choices. She ran away when things got tough and then dropped the MC like a stone and stopped communicating with him. Going forward I sincerely hope you give us the option to write her off because I don't want her anywhere in the MC's life. She had her shot and she blew it.

Zoey is a part of the story. You like it? Play it.. You don't? Walk off... Nobody gives a shit about you don't like the zoey's part... And DPC already said in the last Q&A that he is looking on feedbacks, but under no circumstances is not gonna change the story

16 episodes total (plus the Interlude); 12 would be the end of Season 3.

I think it's still too soon to say how long (in terms of in-game time) the game will last. We're only about halfway through the semester at the end of Season 2, but the last two episodes accelerated the pace considerably. If that continues the game could run through the end of the MC's freshman year. If things slow down again, the end of the semester seems more likely. Let's see if Episode 9 includes the Halloween Party.

EDIT:

Maya and Josy are a part of the story too, but the resolution to their drama at the end of Season 1 was poorly handled nonetheless. Zoey can be a long planned addition to the cast and still fall flat if DPC tries to force us to be interested in her.

 

[RukiRG]

I just don't know why some people didn't like the update. I'm pretty sure that they are playing this game just for lewd scenes.

Not really. I think... IMO they hate the interlude because they think that DPC delayed the story with this short episode. WRONG! DPC actually didn't delayed nothing. He just kept his storyline and timeline according to his plans (maybe a bit delayed or not, due covid, family issues etc). The complainers are looking for the story to advance (with chapter 9),but they are wrong because the story already advanced with interlude. Also... Maybe, doc did it on porpoise to take a holiday or be able to spend some time with his wife and have enough time to release chapter 9 around autumn (Halloween) or maybe I'm wrong... The only thing which I'm reading here is "I don't care about Zoey", very well, as I said before "if you don't like it, don't play it"... DPC doesn't follow orders and he is not gonna change his plans and/or story because some bunch of haters "doesn't care about Zoey". Ask them why they don't care and see the answers... If they have any answers. My bet is they doesn't have... And another bet, 90% of them doesn't support DPC on patron or Steam/GOG... But they still have claims for DPC to "continue the story" ffs

Shameless bump since they refuse to list one of the most epic mods (I'm obviously biased) in the OP and the mod I worked the longest on that has the least amount of DL's of all my works (WTF?). Show some love folks, you really should give this mod a whirl if you've never played a VN with SanchoMod before. This is no hack bullshit rookie ripped-off typical code garbage, it's the real deal. Enjoy and be well, kindest regards. - Sancho

Does anyone know the song of when Zoey was heading back home from Cali?

 

[ChipLecsap]

I wish Dr. PinkCake split the game in two: one, a dating simulator for the emoboys who want marry Jill, Bella or whatever perfect ピクセル ガールフレンド (pikuseru garufurendo); the other, a sandboxed party where you keep just banging girls eternally (and the girls keep coming in waves, always renewing the variety).

That's why you have the "others" path . Although it's not gonna be easy to manage that. Development time already 5-6 month for episodes. We already have enough girl, we not need more "waste of time " , like the Madame

Yeah... I know... I was just joking, but also dreaming a lil because the parts I enjoy the most in the game are those bangorama freeroams during parties or almost parties (prep party invasion/party at HOT's/dorm party). But I choose the "other" path; I was pissed off for having to break up with Sage though... quite nonsense for me...

p.s. and yeah... Madame quite a waste of time... When I saw her, I rolled back and donated all my money to the DIKs....

 

[Mforager]

The Interlude, IMO, is garbage. I have zero interest/attraction to these new characters, male or female. It reminds of me George R. R. Martin spending a whole novel adding new characters that no one had heard of and were poorly connected to the original plot. It would have made much more sense to just follow the MC on summer break, playing from his point of view, not some random new chick.

anyone have an end of season 2 game save so I can try the interlude?

Bm11, but it would be weird to put the 11 in the bass. Or an add 11, but still, odd voicing. Depends on what the bass player is doing. but I'd say E7 is a more appropriate analysis.

It's a barre chord. Hardly obscure.

I can see it won't convince you... but the " break up " happened at the train station... it's why the scenes happen how they happen to make you understand... but oh well !

You are right about one thing. It didn't convince me.

Nothing on this world would have stopped this trip from happening... the conversation was to be about what they mean to each other and stuff... you know them chummy talk turn into serious what future they face ( together or on seperate ways... )

In this story, there is only one person who can stop it. DPC. But it is his story. Guess why Neil gave the MC advice before the first date with Josy in EP1 that the MC should tell Josy how he feels about her. Wait, that's what Neil said. So he wouldn't regret it later if he didn't. Why this advice from Neil? The father must have talked to his son after the MC finally broke up with Zoey. So after the Rooster Cluck. Only after that cackle was there no more contact between Zoey and the MC.

I never seen Zoey as a CHICK... so I would say a dick or no dick But yeah dependent on this SHE will react ( most likely ) differently in certain situations ( but as I said before this was your doing during Interlude ) which means you won't have control over her... or just limited

Zoey can be a chick. She clearly showed that in her last conversation with Bret. Of course, it depends on how you interpret DIK and CHICK for yourself. I'm just giving my interpretation here without explaining it. I am not in the mood for that at the moment.

DIK = immature action
CHICK = Logically the opposite of DIK. So mature.

It has no relevance to us because DPC has not given us the opportunity to change anything. It is DPC history. But if you understand what DPC has shown us, you can extrapolate that these misunderstandings could cause a small to medium drama.

Sooo ? Is this really a too difficult ( math )problem to solve ? Back to the very first segment of this post... You can see this from an other perspective... since it was not love from Fuckface' side he let her go !... right there right then

There we go again with the misunderstandings that can arise from lack of communication. Zoey and the MC have deeper feelings for each other even before they break up. Either they could not express those feelings or she was afraid to do so. Why fear? They already had a good friendship, they both knew that. But if one of them didn't feel those deeper feelings and the other revealed them, it would strain the friendship. This was exactly why saying goodbye at the train station wasn't the end of their relationship. Zoey just wanted to say goodbye. So amicably. Suddenly, the MC hugs Zoey. Zoey is startled, but then hugs the MC as well. It is important to see that Zoey closes her eyes. When Zoey opens her eyes again, they look questioning. Through this hugging gesture, the MC has left his comfort zone and entered Zoey's comfort zone, and through this, they both realize that it is more than just a good friendship. That's why Neil later advises the MC not to hide his feelings, because the MC has done that with Zoey for a very long time before.

But the last two pictures are interesting. He shows Zoey's hot ass and in the last picture Zoey's eyes are open again. I prefer not to play Assman, because I want the Orange Sky.

So pretty much things that most of us already know. Got it

 

[felicemastronzo]

Eh, it's not going to be much better towards Sage or M&J. The Interlude isn't enough for Zoey to challenge the MC's waifu without making the MC's choice look meaningless.

At least not as things currently stand. So let's get a bit of prognostication out of the way. If Zoey is indeed intended to tempt the MC (and I believe she is), I think DPC intends to play the long game. Zoey's return will shake the MC up quite a bit, but he'll stick by his choice in Episode 9. Zoey will settle for rebuilding her friendship with him.

But as the season goes on problems will develop in the MC's relationship, eventually leading to him either breaking up, or being on the verge of doing so (sort of like Maya and Josy in Season 1). That's when DPC will club us over the head with Zoey. If we're lucky, Zoey will be optional (or based on our previous decisions). If we're unlucky, the MC will give in automatically and that tryst will the be the catalyst for the MC's actual breakup. Either way, Season 4 will be about picking up the pieces and making our final choice.

So there you have it. That's my Zoeypocalypse prediction. And for the record, I think that's a potentially valid approach (assuming he handles the breakups well, which will be no mean feat). I just think it's not going to hit as hard as DPC would like because even with a few more episodes' buildup, Zoey is not as tempting as the other girls.

MC hasn't committed to M+J yet so asking them for a break would be less "cruel" and Sage we've seen that she's been given the role of beggar, so she'd accept without a problem, letting him know she's ready to welcome him back....

anyway, let's not kid ourselves, Zoey didn't come back because of her friendship with MC, she came back because she misses him in a deeper way than she thought. at the end of the day she might accept his friendship, but that's not why she came back (also because she ran out of money of course.... DPC doesn't like LIs to ever look good 100%)

initially I thought that Zoey's arrival would not be immediate but at the end of the chapter as a launch for the tenth, but the detail of Neil's phone call in my opinion anticipates everything. once the meeting with Burke is over Zoey becomes the next on the list

Zoey cannot be 100% optional, there will be a first phase in which MC wants to listen to her, then she will have to make her decision and we will see what Zoey will do, will she stay on the bench ready to take over or will she accept the role of friend and that's it
