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

[Kpyna]

I've played Season 1 & 2 way too much... I have over 30 saved full playthroughs and many more wasted...

I'll might play it again in a few years... but, right now... nope, I'm done.

Hi, there, u/S_Rodney

 

[Orgitas]

I'm not even sorry.

Good list, but i'd put Z up top. Those lips are just unbeatable.

Reddit periodically goes through a round of whining and complaining. I understand their frustration, but they ( and you) don't have some solution to help shorten the development time. Hiring new staff is just bullshit, it does nothing to speed up development time knowing how toxic DPС is and his zero teamwork skills.
The new animations are what makes DPС stand out from other games. A lot of other games do cinematic inserts too, but they don't have the kind of staging that DPС has. DPС apparently wants to get better with each episode and so the number of animations will increase.
Anything it could do, it has done. Branching doesn't imply shorter development time, quite the opposite.
Just think back to episode 9. In it, the player could 1) choose who would win the costume contest( that's 4-5 separate scenes) 2) the people around you reacted to whether you called Zoey an ex-girlfriend or not( that's also separate renders) 3) you could organize Halloween contests with different content( that's also renders).
Now the game just reacts to any action of the player. Theoretically, if the player sneezes, the game will remember it and react with a replica of the girl or someone else.
This is actually very cool, such immersive games are few, but it affects the development time. It is clear that 90% of players will not notice this difference and details, but it is there and it is nice.

Lmfao, he really think Artemis and intertwined is better than BaDik. Even episode 9 have more contents and fun than those games. I think he is just trying to promote those games.

I love Artemis and Intertwined. But they are entirely different games. Sure Artemis has far better aesthetics.. It is more artsy and that's cool. Has a great story too. MC is a bit of a pansy but hey, can't have everything. Intertwined is engaging and, to be honest, Alexi is the hottest LI I have ever seen in any AVN. But then again her whole look is my thing so it is subjective etc. Both games have their hooks and deserve exposure and success.

But better than Being a Dik? No. BaD has more content. Is continually evolving and far more technical. Every episode is pretty much an improvement over the previous in most regards. You just can't ignore that.

I don't know why I am arguing with a reddit post here. Clearly I am insane and need some coffee.

Another disgruntled Josy fan ?
And why I'm not surprised...

And, of course, being part of Quinn's life you will never, ever, be disgruntled and only happiness awaits?

Endings of BaDIK

Quinn: MC Visits her in Prison, Fucks her one Last Time before she gets Killed

Josy: Red Roses, happiness ... Later a Picture of a Dead MC on an Bed with Black Roses all over the Place

Maya: MC visits her Home and get Killed by her Dad & Derreck when they learn that Maya is preg

Bella: Bella is sitting too long on MC's Face and he couldn't breath anymore.

Sage: Sage is out of reach and they will find the MC hang around a Tree.

Game Over for MC.

Also a Ending where sage kills everyone in the HOTS house , covers it up with a fire/gas explosion and pretends to be the only Survivor

 

[Orgitas]

I think the game will end with everyone dead and Becky just talking about how important she is.

As you said - being part of Quinn's life...
Who can be unhappy in paradise ?

As Phil Collins once said "Just another day, for you and me, in Paradise"! Though totally ignoring the sarcastic message of the song, naturally. Because loving Quinn is life. Man, I gotta get back to posting memes and gifs. I am starting to waver!

Until recently, I was surprised by the reaction of Josy fans to my harmless posts. Because I never said anything bad about Josy. On the contrary, I admit that she is a very beautiful and sweet girl. I just express my admiration for the one I consider the best, the most beautiful, in a word - Divine. I mean Divine Quinn. Yes, for me she is. I'm not saying that everyone should share my opinion, although it would not be bad. But Josy fans don't just express admiration for their Goddess, they don't miss the opportunity to bad mouth the other girls. Yes, most often Quinn, but others also get .
For a long time I could not understand the reason for such defiant behavior. I decided to analyze the activities of Josy's fans, and noticed that the content of most of their publications is usually either praise for Josy or abuse of one of the girls. Nothing more. Of course, the exception to this company is Dalli_x, whose posts are traditionally filled with various information, but we cannot call him a Josy fan, he is more of a fan of the Josy-Maya couple. But let's get back to the main thing, why are most of the publications of Josy fans not rich in content?! And I realized that Josy herself is actually not very meaningful. Her fans simply have nothing to discuss. They can repeat it a million times - "Alady"... But it won't make her any more interesting
To be honest, as I always do, we will find that Josy is one of the most boring characters in the game. I don't mean anything bad, don't get me wrong, but it's just a fact. Most of the characters in the game have their own story, filled to one degree or another with secrets, intrigue, or simply curious details. Bella, Sage, Quinn, Lily, Jill, even Sarah and Mell have story. But Josy has no story. There is no story. This character is always “attached” to someone. It's either Maya or Tommy. Josy character has no value to the story on its own. This character has nothing but a seductive appearance. She even gets into "Hots" only because she is Tommy's sister.
If you imagine that, due to some circumstances, Josy will drop out of the story, this will not affect the course of the story itself. Everything will go on as usual, as if nothing happened. What does this tell us? Well, the character is probably not written well enough. What could be the reason for this? DPC laziness? He can hardly be accused of laziness. Maybe he doesn't see Josy as a valuable character. Maybe it is so. It's sad to say this. I don't want to hurt the feelings of Josy fans in any way, these nice people. But I'm just looking at things soberly. No more.

it doesn't seem to me that the size of the episode and the possible degree of branching (some quite supreflue) are an antidote to the loss of interest.

in a month or two the new chapter will arrive, why should I rush to download it? what should I expect to happen that is 'unmissable'?

little comes to mind for me today, the usual plot points that are always being put off and which, if you wait for them, will be resolved one day (or should we say one year). but apart from the faint hope of finding out what happened to James, that Sage will notice what Quinn is doing behind his back, thar Maya solves her loan problem... I see nothing

Someone mentioning Intertwined in the same breath as Artemis and Being a DIK should be permanently banned from playing AVNs ever again . Even if I happened to agree with a thing or 2 that he said, they just get buried by how many stupid things he said in between .

Sure its frustrating how much time we have to wait, but BaD is the only AVN Im willing to wait for this long because it still has one of if not THE best ratio between content and waiting time between releases

But I guess we cant ask a lot from a rediter after all

Pretty sure that guy it's gonna be among the first ones to download the new episode here (but he's gonna claim to have bought it from Patreon like the typical Reddit white knight you find in that sub ) despite his post about "losing interest in the game".

Is the pic of Sally running to the MC & him picking her up as she kisses his chest in the game? Or is it a jebait?
