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

[walker188]

Agreed, good take. This game is very adequate.

It really is only slightly excellent.

 

[den_tiger]

Just curious, have you played BaDIK with the sound on at all, like ever?

If not, I recommend you plug in a headset (or whack on your speakers, there aren't any orgasmic sounds to my recollection, so you won't be raising any eyebrows in nearby rooms ), and replay the game.

The game is great, but the music elevates it to another level. I'd dare say I might not have ever got hooked on this game if it wasn't for the full experience.

I agree. I use to play AVNs without the sound, but some games have beautiful music that really amplifies the experience.

Playing games without sound is like eating food without salt... Whether it's good or bad it adds to the things that are deciding factors to evaluate something... BaDIKs sound ( ? ) and musics are somewhat around 90% on the spot so there is no need to mute the game for any reason ( plus as was mentioned before you just cripple yourself for getting the full experience )

If a games sound and music is bad than there is no need for that game at all That alone makes you wonder what point there is ( or in worst case was ) purchasing it... of course pilfering the stuff is also an option but that was not the point

Was my verbose commentary not explanation enough for why I don't like music in my games?

And no, I never have listened to it. Your recommendation is noted, but I shall decline, thank you.

Re: Does this play in the same Universe as AL


I get that the games won't have any real connection,
however the band ShitFaced exists in both games, it would be a very weird choice to name two different bands in two different worlds from the same author the same.

Parallel universe, dude. They have no direct connection, from the author's mouth himself.
edit: and then I forgot to include his words. Apologies!

Acting Lessons and Being A DIK are two separate games without any connection.
Being A DIK was originally intended to be a prequel to Acting Lessons, but the idea was scrapped since it would force me to write the story in a certain way.
You can still see common names in Being A DIK, that were mentioned in Acting Lessons, i.e. DIKs, HOTs. But that's it. This story is fresh and something completely different from Acting Lessons.

And the world stood still...

 

[den_tiger]

Shitfaced is a nexus point. It exists in numerous universes

Playing games without sound is like eating food without salt...

Salt is harmful, it retains water. I try to eat without salt, using mostly soy sauce.

But in general I certainly agree with the guys here. The music in the game forms the atmosphere and mood, if you turn it off, then it's literally a different game. It's like playing The Witcher 3 without great music. But everyone has their own opinion and tastes. We can't impose on anyone.

As with Jill, she dislikes bullying, but she lets herself get bullied by Tyballs. (yes his TinY balls should be in a Tie , hence TyBalls)
Quinn, well she only gets attention by flaunting her boobies, becouse they are sooooo small she has to show em to get a small adventage over big boobies .
Maya's dad, well he is just the type of him jerking off to his daughters photo's, he doesnt want her to be with josy, he doesnt want her around dudes (Or me), he just wants to keep her all to himself.

Maya's father definitely seems to have double standards. Not only does he treat Derek and Maya differently, but we also know that Derek reads Patrick's secret magazines. Ergo, the porn magazines are Patrick's.

I wonder if Patrick saw a woman in his porn magazines that caused Patrick to tell Maya not to bother with Josy?

This is not to say that Josy is pictured in such a porno magazine, but what if it was Josy's mother?

Salt is harmful, it retains water. I try to eat without salt, using mostly soy sauce.

I guess you wanted to take this into another direction where it was aimed since you mention soy sauce but use it essentially for the same reason why I used the term salt It was not about eating " healthy " and believe it or not there is not a single food type on this mudball which cannot be categorised as " bad for your health " from some sort of aspect... but that's what your digestive system is for right ?!

anyone has torrent link season 1-2 for this game??? because another link very slow

If I'm not mistaken, the best friend of the MC in Acting Lessons was also a member of the DIK fraternity in college. So there seems to be at least some overlap. But it could also just be easter eggs and the game playing out in two similar, but still alternate universes.

Ah yes. The DPCU. DrPinkCake Universe.

Soy sauce is very high in sodium (aka salt). If you don’t want to have too much salt, you should NOT be having soy sauce.

Although salt itself isn’t bad (it’s actually needed to survive), just too much salt is bad.

 

[NebulousShooter]

I eat salt on my salt

The game is great, but the music elevates it to another level.

So true sometimes I wonder if DPC choose a music he like and then create a scene with it or if he spend hours founding the right song

 

[Deleted member 4937290]

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 don't think those work, I still have 3 remaining unlocked scenes in gallery and a lot of special renders :/ Thanks for your work though

Well everyone has preferences. For example my old college roommate played Doom 3 without sound as he claimed the monster wails and footsteps distracted him, so muting the game helped him concentrate better.

I find it weird, like I can't imagine playing Skyrim or Forza without sound for example.
