DPC does very well to avoid looking for trouble, since even with all precautions some hysteria has triggered the same

but it is undeniable that this caution narratively creates problems: when you are forced to be so platonic even in handling a flashback of a married woman and that becomes so unnatural that people are convinced that rather than sexually active, it is better that Bella is half crazy and talk to dead people

and that's just one example

I think that whoever leaked the Cathy photo and the Jade video leaker are the same person. I don't think it's Vinny, that would be too obvious and it isn't in DPC's style to do it.

I also don't think it's Nick or Leon, as both IMO are red herrings.

Weirdly though, there is someone sneaking past outside when MC is first sleeping in his room. The lights flash and you can barely tell the crouched figure.

Jamie losing his phone is weird. So another possibility is whoever took Jamie's phone probably still has access to the folders, so that might be it.

It could very well be Tommy. Judging by the results of episode 8, he turns into a complete asshole and the fact that he leaked Cathy's photos only adds nuances to his image, concretizes him as a complete ass.

1) He is constantly in search of weed and when he is deprived of it, he looks for any opportunity to find it
2)We know that Vinnie sells weed for more than Quinn. Where did Tommy get the money for weed anyway?
3)When Cathy's photos were leaked, Tommy was not there in the dance hall.
4) Tommy was talking to Quinn on the second floor. He could have been in cahoots.
5)It feels like Tommy is working for Quinn. He served as a distributor of weed.

MC decides to help Maya with the scavenger hunt when Maya is convinced she will never see Josy again, it's a fact, it's in the story.

Well, at that point you can say Maya is just trying to break away from her father for her own freedom.
But Josy getting back in the picture just is another motivation to continue on that path, while chosing a solo path with MC would remove her motivation or atleast greatly diminish the need to break free.

Burke would never involve anybody in the restaurant, that's Quinn's, he only does the tuition scheme.
Camilla does the restaurant but has nothing to do with Burke except being staff of B&R.
So Burke gonna tell he will look into it but he will say it's unlikely but he will do the utmost.... And he will not deliver because it will get tricky with the HOT's in his little scheme (drama!) or Quinn will suggest Maya to have sex with Burke to get it (drama!).

As for no NTR... since when is that a reason to refrain from implying things? It's not like you will see a npc saying "you can't rape me, since no NTR!" makes alot sense storywise...

The whole thing however is the moment Maya will be put at the choice to fuck Burke for that tuition, we as players must be convinced she just might do it.... Else there's absolutely no threat coming from that scenario.... pff. Burke. Okay. what next?

Here you go guys. Every save, for every route, for Seasons 1, 2, and the start of 3. NO mods. Mini games turned ON. All scenes unlocked. All special renders found. All 2D Art purchased/unlocked. All upgrades such as Brawler Skills/Derek Cheats/Magnar Bonuses/Picture Frames and Wallet Quantity unlocked for all routes, with the exception of all Dik routes (Magnar Bonuses still remaining). Mansion Repair Completed for all routes. I used "Stevan" as MC's name and "SexyMexican98" for my Swyper/Rooster tag. You can change those with the phone in game as well as Music Favorites/PetNames/Ringtones/Wallpapers. Each folder contains saves for the start of each episode so don't get confused with the "Episode 9 start" saves, there is no Episode 9 yet, just "End of Interlude" saves. All save files contain the following routes.

- Dik Sage Hots and Sides: In this route I pursue Permanent Dik Affinity and Status. I pursue Sage as my Love Interest as well as every Side Girl Possible. I chose to commit to Sage at the end of Crossroads, but if I can pursue others, then I will, until it is no longer viable. Total Man-Whore route.

- Dik Hots and Sides: In this route I pursue Permanent Dik Affinity and Status. I used to pursue Sage as my Love Interest but chose not to commit at the end of Episode 8 in order to keep pursuing every side chick possible. Total Man-Whore.

- Dik Sage Path : In this route I pursue Permanent Dik Affinity and Status. I pursue Sage as my Love Interest. I DO NOT pursue side girls in this route.

- Neutral Maya and Josy: In this route I pursue Neutral Affinity and Status. I also embrace the current throuple relationship with the 2 Lesbian Love Interests, Maya and Josy. I DO NOT pursue any side girls in this route

- Neutral Maya Path: In this route I pursue Neutral Affinity and Status. Even though I'm forced to be in a throuple (for now) I don't engage sexually with Josy in any way if I can help it. Only Maya. I DO NOT pursue any side girls in this route. As of now there is no way to pursue a Solo Route with Maya (I see this route being scrapped in the long run)

- Neutral Josy Path: In this route I pursue Neutral Affinity and Status. Even though I'm forced to be in a throuple (for now) I don't engage sexually with Maya in any way if I can help it. Only Josy. I DO NOT pursue any side girls in this route. As of now there is no way to pursue a Solo Route with Josy (I see this route being scrapped in the long run)

- Chik Jill and Bella: In this route I pursue Permanent Chik Affinity and Status. I pursue the 2 Best-Friend Love Interests, Jill and Bella. . I DO NOT pursue any side girls in this route. I choose to pursue Bella by the end of Episode 8 in hopes of bringing Jill back around (Not likely, I see this route being scrapped in the long run)

- Chik Jill Path: In this route I pursue Permanent Chik Affinity and Status. I pursue only Jill as my Love Interest. I DO NOT pursue any side girls in this route.

- Chik Bella Path: In this route I pursue Permanent Chik Affinity and Status. I pursue only Bella as my Love Interest. I DO NOT pursue any side girls in this route.

Side Note for "Dik Sage Hots and Sides": This routes is mainly preserved to see the drama unfold between Sage and Jade in Episode 9 when it drops. As well as to have your cake and to eat it too with Sage and all the Side Girls (If possible, if not then this route will be scrapped in the long run). If you aren't interested then you can pretty much just ignore this save all together.

Side Note for "Dik Sage Path": If it turns out that getting a hand-job from Jade in Episode 3 and Punching Tybalt in Episode 5 has negative effects on your future relationship with Sage, then I will go back and change my choices (Mind you theses choices were made in the pursuit of Permanent DIK affinity) . I hope you guys won't mind the missing bars at the end of DIK scale but this route is for Sage only. Hopefully nothing will come of these choices since I did not pursue Jade any further after the classroom hand-job. And since you fuck Sage on Tybalt's bed, I'm hoping she won't mind that you pop him in the mouth.

Side Note for Maya/Josy Solo Routes: If it turns out that it's best to "Remain Friends" in Episode 4 and then "Have Feelings For Maya/Josy" in Episode 5 in order to get a proper solo route for Maya/Josy, in the long run, then I will go back and change my choices. But for now, I'll stay in the throuple in order to obtain sex scenes with each girl in their respective route. At this point in the story, it's highly unlikely that we'll be getting our solo routes. I will hold on to these saves in case they're needed for girl specific sex scenes (much like their first threesome) But for everyone that uses my saves, it's probably safe to delete both of them.

Side Note for "Chik Jill and Bella": All context included, this route is likely dead in the water. I will keep it up so everyone has a save they could use to see how the drama unfolds. But other than that, it's probably safe to delete as well. I don't see Jill coming back around, nor do I see Bella letting Jill into their relationship.

Side Note for all Saves: Episodes 1-8 Saves and Season 1&2 Persistent will be stored in separate folder labeled "BeingaDIK-1535311494" whereas the Interlude Start Saves, Episode 9 Start Saves as well as Season 3 Persistent will be stored in a folder named "BeingaDIKSeason3-Patreon-1535311494". The numbers at the end may be different for you. Your Renpy saves can be found here

You must be registered to see the links

. DO NOT attempt to put Season 1&2 files into the new Interlude. It will cause errors.

Side Note for Transfer Data: This file is the binary data for the saves stated above that will be stored for import in Season 3. This file is stored in a folder labeled "persistent" in your Renpy Saves folder. Your Renpy saves can be found here

You must be registered to see the links

. If you are unable to figure out where to find/store this file, despite the link, then to avoid confusion, it's best to load the "Episode 8 End Saves" in Season 1-2 of Being a DIK, then save the binaries in game when prompted. Your computer will take care of the rest for you. You just have to click "Import" in the Main Menu of Season 3 (Interlude)

I downloaded episode 9 saves and used the new persistent file you provided. In scenes it shows epi 8 are all locked???

They probably just can't be viewed from the interlude.... That's alot scenes to be packed into the start of season 3 when the whole reason you made a standalone is the fact the size of the game was getting too big.

Okay. what next?

Me !

it's really too late for Quinn to propose anything to Maya, that ship passed some time ago. Quinn has too many problems and she also has Sage's eye on her especially with Maya. and Maya by now wouldn't believe Quinn even on the direction to find the bathroom....

As for no NTR... since when is that a reason to refrain from implying things? It's not like you will see a npc saying "you can't rape me, since no NTR!" makes alot sense storywise...

Maya considering the idea is enough to set off the sirens. highly unlikely

Burke is not a villain. He's too pathetic and cowardly for this role. The most he can do is cancel free tuition to the girl who rejected him. I see him only as an ordinary customer of Quinn's restaurant with the only difference that he uses the services for free. Pink needs to try to present him correctly so that we can be afraid of him. But so far the only thing we know about him is that he is cheating on his wife and possibly taking bribes. Pink is definitely planning to ruin Maya and Josie's sweet couple. But we can only guess.

Well, everything below is just my vision of BaDIK so far but I think Cathy's photo was posted by Riona while Quinn and Camila was distracting Tommy and Rusty. They did it cuz Dawe hired Quinn to post a cluck from DIKs laptop so he would have an excuse to walk around with those posters. He took the photo and "DIKs cluck" was perfect excuse if someone asked where he got it from.
Dawe has the perfect motive to hit two birds with one rock - he hates Cathy cuz she made fun of him (inadvertently I guess but still she did) and he hates DIKs for almost all of them fucked Arieth.

Jade's video leak, just like Dawe "blackmail", was possible because Riona stole the phone from Jamie (possible right after the cum-petition). Jamie hooked up with Riona several times and can be seen with her so for her stealing his phone wasn't that hard, just need the good timing and some booze. Who she bring the phone to? To Stephen Burke.

Both Riona and Quinn got that infamous "free tuition" from him and I think those 3 students he fucked is them and Camila (if I remember correctly she got that "free tuition" too). I think he used them several times to run errands for him, including the Jamie's phone and bringing the Dawe and Chad envelopes to alphas.

Till the ep8 I was thinking about who else might know about Chad being gay but Sage cleared that up.
If player chose to tell Sage about Chad being gay she'll say this line

Which means Jade was suspecting Chad being gay long ago and there is no way Stephen never heard about it from her. So he could pry about it with his squad's help and discover the truth (probably with the same hidden camera Quinn got the pictures of Arieth being fucked in janitor closet in DIKs mansion).

He used Jamie's phone to get access to DIKs shared folder (he knew about it from Quinn and she knew it cuz of Tommy or Vinny) an got photos of Arieth. Later he can get the Jade's video before Rusty changed permissions on laptop and Jamie's phone become useless.

Why he decided incite alphas to attack DIKs isn't fully clear for me yet but some ridiculous thought appeared - he could be a loving father. He's trying to destroy both fraternities so they don't bother his sissy son and to make Chad drop from B&R because of fight (so he stop using Sage). He expected much larger escalate cause of that photos in envelopes but everything flared up not so brightly.

As I said it's just my thoughts. Cathy's cluck is screaming Dawe involved but he is too dumb to make everything by himself so I am sure it's Team Free Tuition job.

Things change, we know we will get that talk with Burke, we know she is not getting a free tuition really for free...
So unless there's another option for her there needs to be an end to her free tuition story, so either Patrick will need to accept, Josy needs to go or she needs to get that tuition, but something needs to be done to reach an end to it all.
Whatever happens we just can't tell yet, maybe Patrick makes another surprise visit being confronted with Josy and Maya.
Maybe Quinn is forced to accept a deal from Burke to bring in Maya because her drugs imperium is starting to fall down.
Fact is we are being led to Burke for that free tuition from the moment we met Maya.... Just expect the story will keep evolving.
Do not expect Burke to be a nice guy.... just be prepared!

this is a really great game,i really enjoy it.

The problem is that Burke has never behaved like a caring father and loving husband. He even used the prep party to get to know the right people. He could really hate Diks, but only because of Rusty. Tybalt has much more reasons for destroying Diks and Jocks.

 

[Deleted member 1796292]

If you are talking about the Interlude release, it is a prelude to Season 3 of the story. But none of it affects any of the characters in any of the previous 2 Seasons... yet. It remains to be seen how much (if any) effect it will have on future releases. Variables are saved, however, which should have some effect.

A new character is introduced who (it is assumed) will impact the life of the MC and those around him. How that impact plays out will depend on us in future choices, as DrPinkCake allows us to make them.

Thank you for the answer, i've seen things a little more clear now, let's see how affect the whole story

Remember what Sage told about how her parents behave?

Stephen may not behave like caring father but it doesn't mean he's not.
I am not saying he's loving husband, I would say opposite. But that parents instinct kicks (sometimes wild) not just with women.

In the last episodes Tybalt has completely become a joke, he doesn't look an antagonist at all. But his father is.
As for Stephen licking butts on prep party - even Jade confirms they don't need money but Stephen always going for it.

 

[Tadpol]

As for no NTR... since when is that a reason to refrain from implying things? It's not like you will see a npc saying "you can't rape me, since no NTR!" makes alot sense storywise...

Because unfortunately we're getting to a point where we know that to avoid trouble, developers won't do anything that comes close (even very very far) to NTR. Even implied.

If at some point in the game Maya finds herself in a situation where she can solve her problem by selling herself to a generous donor, we won't believe it for a second. We will know in advance that it will not happen.

In the game, other than with the MC, there is almost not a single hint of the girls in the restaurant seeing other customers. This makes the theme of prostitution in the game quite strange. There is only Mona with whom the theme was suggested, and
strangely, she is no longer in the story.

 

[Gregk]

I see a bunch of posts about this Interlude plot, but not about how to start playing it.
I have this problem:
I deleted the install of Season 2, just saved the game saves folder.
I tried copying a Season 2 save to Interlude saves folder, with no luck to start playing.
Do I need a full install of Season 2 to transfer a save and play Interlude?
How did you guys did it?

 

[playcoc]

Can anyone please help?
After installing the new version chapter 3,
Whenever I'm trying to continue the game with my previous save (version 8.1) it's giving me an error message. (I'm using the android version).

And all the android version links are dead. what to do?
if anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.

As someone who played the current complete game and got this last short Zoey chapter so close to the rest of it, it also failed to make me care that much about Zoey.


She made some mistakes and now wants to come back to have a heart to heart conversation. She had a strong relation going with MC, but that's it. Before I got to play this last chapter I thought pinkcake would make us care about Zoey in more ways than this, to compensate being gone half the game or more.

One way I thought it would pan out was that Zoey had become wildly successful (front cover of a magazines, local tv, blogs etc. for her skills and/or pure luck), to the point she was famous in LA area and she was being haunted by fame she didn't really ask or want for. Regardless she is now set on the path for immensely successful lifestyle and everyone is getting ready to leach on to.

She remembers MC and time before this and want to go back to rekindle a love or at least deep friendship she was blind for, a love for the “before” Zoey that was and not the famous Zoey she is rapidly becoming. This Zoey has something to bring to the table for multiple personalities and reasons to rekindle love and friendship with.



Right now she is dealt an incredibly weak hand for anyone to care about her, and it wouldn't surprise me Zoey would end the game as the least loved character in the game behind Bianca?, the girl Maya hate with a burning passion, other than Quinn.


However it might be by design, so she easily shut down by all paths except the Other path. Pinkcake needs to limit the scope somehow I guess.

Sage & Jade, Bella & Jill, Maya & Josey causes plenty enough drama by default.

Maybe her character reason of existing, is to make Quinn jealous and force her to confess feelings in the most broccoli way possible.

 

[PBS666]

Can someone help me... ? I have the season 2 export on my Android emulator (Blustacks) and downloaded right now the mac vesion of season 3. Where should I copy the export from Android to be able to play... ?

Shouldn't it go into the save folder ? For Ren'Py games on Mac that's ~/Library/Renpy/(name of game + some number).

 

[vogelbeest]

In the game, other than with the MC, there is almost not a single hint of the girls in the restaurant seeing other customers.

That's exactly what i said, prostitution with more then MC as a single customer is implied in the game, now showing it would possibly mean the NTR tag, implying it will not.

If at some point in the game Maya finds herself in a situation where she can solve her problem by selling herself to a generous donor, we won't believe it for a second. We will know in advance that it will not happen.

You really gonna bet it will not happen when this same dev let us make a choice for one girl to survive while the other died in a burning house? We might not think it's likely but with his history it's still not a safe bet.... Or it's just the last drop for her and other bad things happen, jumping off a building from despair is less unlikely but still can fit the story.... The point is we as player are following the story and can guess but we also know there will be twists and we know it might not go as we think it would, you can't just say that's not gonna happen, the story is there, there will be some climax, we just don't know where and how at this time.
