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

[Simpgor]

My issue is that it's one year per episode, it would be something else with a release every 4-5 months like most games do.
It's hard not to be bitter but I know it's my fault for having expectations.

if you cant wait 5 real world years to get development about a 3d rendered character then you were never a real fan at all!!11!

 

[andafer]

just asking, its been a while since i play this game and i kinda forgot. but in this game we cant take harem route right? if i remember right we cant take jill and bella at the same time?

Not anymore since episode 8, as developer changed the structure of the game drastically, now players must chose between different relationships at the end of that chapter and even if a couple of the routes allow the player to fool around with more than 1 girl it's not remotely the same free experience than in first episodes of the game (which wasn't exactly harem experience, but "pursue as many girls as you want but no strings attached", most of them didn't know about each other links with MC, so basically the way in which most multiple relationships work in real world, fuckers fucking around, lying and cheating, not "happy harems"). In last 2 episodes the content has been split between different routes, so at max you experience 15/20% of the scenes/relationship in a single playthrough and the other not-chosen girls in that specific path remain sad through the episodes, depressed or at best "just friends". To experience all the scenes you must play several different playthroughs, which could be cool if "most" or just a significant minority of the content changed, but 90% of the playable content is "common", exactly the same minigames and events in any path, so the replayability is for hardcore fans mostly.

1 season = 4 episodes. I'd bet we'll see 1 more interlude at the beginning of Season 4.

I don't think so at this point. The interlude we got was basically little more than trying to write in a character DPC had forgotten to develop and they've sort of implicitly admitted it was pointless given the repercussions boil down to a single choice of "is Zoey good or bad", which could've been delivered in a single scene flashback.

 

[DanMotta]

you're just pointing out whatever we've seen in 10 without justification of DPC's writing choice. "Stephen at least tried" when?
Jade and him have terrible communication for two grown ass adults. Obviously reflected by her throwing the sink at you if you reject her and also second guessing every gesture by her husband.

What facts are you referring to? That he went to see a therapist? That's literally only one side of it. It takes two to fuck a marriage up. You seemed to miss the point here, we're talking about writing not which character has grounds to be fucked up.

Jade's entire arc from 1-9 has been my husband doesn't give me love.
She cheats with you because he's busy sleeping with college girls knowing his wife knows.
Now DPC does a smooth brain decision into giving justification for Stephen.
This just assassinates whatever basis Jade as a character has. It is not good writing or 'realistic' writing. Its just making things unnecessarily confusing so someone glazing DPC would be going "what DPC is trying to do here is make things grey.."

This is the same guy that thinks people will sympathize with Maya.

True he should have shown the 2 sides. And this thing about not being happy and remain married is such a bullshit. Are we on 80's? lol. Also nothing justifies you create a prostitution scheme with young girls in exchange for tuition because you are not happy in your marriage. Most of things DPC wrote made no sense at all. What was all that drama he made with the dinner? MC ended one episode worried, because he was fucking both mom and daughter and at the end nothing litterally happened. The only thing we saw was burke deleting Maya's tuition plan, since she didn't join his scheme. There were many things he wrote, you thought something huge would happen but then nothing happened at the end. These storyline almost looked like men trying to blame the women for their bad behavior.

I do not agree. What is happening between Stephan and Jade lasts for years and being in toxic relationship for that long you have a little different perspective of what you should or shouldn't do with your life. The story he told to his psycho is pretty much self-explanatory and we all knew Jade is crazy and manipulative bitch even before that (try to dump her at some point). Looks like she is just better in acting which is probably because it is Stephen who is rich, not her. Tbh I thought he was a lot worse character than who he really is...

He provides free tuition for girls who wants whoring around and got Quinn to handling it on the frontline, win-win for everyone. It is not like he is abusing/forcing them to do that, blackmailing them with some sextapes or something. Mona thought she will handle it and will get easy money out of that but when reality hit, she was not able to fuck or make blowjob some Stephan's older friend. She was not able to pay for school herself nor was smart enough to study ther on her own so she had to quit, end of story really. Is it moral? I guess not but at the end everyone in this story thinks about own benefit, not harm done.

This is my point of view so far based on history given (I didn't finish ep10 tho). If there is more in there, like him pulling the strings in Cathy story, DIKs hidden cameras etc then I may rethink what I just told.

So you are justifying he creating a prostitution site inside the college, with the girls he should be educating and caring for their development? Most girls at this age, has no idea of the shit they are doing, they will just learn the shit they've done later on. Most of these girls join this life because they had no education in their homes, but are still trying to educate themselves to move forward, and a college dean instead of making ways for these people get some education he decided to use their situation to explore sex? If you think he is on the clear with what he is doing only because his wife was manipulative.

too many minigames

Lol, this manipulative and egoistic bitch tries to blackmail him saying he can get even less cash from divorce since he was whoring around all the time when she was actually doing the same with MC... It is gambit between two old pals and he was tired of this tie so went full in with divorce (after all it was what she wanted right? No, it was part of her game like everything else is). They are both worth each other.

Nah, we don't know enough about Jade at this point. With Stephen all sympathy disappears when you take a second to think "oh, he could've just divorced her years ago if he was so unhappy".

It's not going to be a coincidence that he's suddenly trying to get out of dodge the moment the "free tuition" prostitution ring is about to break into the open.

The mini games literally make me want to kill myself.

and why didn't you turn it off when the game gave you the option to turn them off.

DrPinkCake made the Interlude because he needed a vacation. He told it himself. This is why I think we'll have 1 more interlude, at least.

Need better installation instructions for MAC users...can't get it to install. need instructions for non computer savey people

I'm disappointed. I had to wait 1 year for a small and uninteresting update . The summer has gone much more interesting and better .

No one cares, if you think its small its because you didn't play it or have a tiny tybalt

"small"? I literally read 2 days on this thing.

 

[Ottoeight]

Guys, you know what?

I was positively sure that no character would have died in BaDIK after the AL shitstorm... I'm not so sure about it after this episode 10...

Riona guys, just cross your fingers, bros.

Pretty sure he went on vacation during this update, just batched a load of animations and static renders to process while they were gone.

 

[DanMotta]

It is indeed not impossible. I've attached the solution. The difference betweenn > and < is critical.
All within LESS than 5 steps from grey.
All within LESS than 5 steps from yellow.
All are MORE than 4 steps AWAY from pink.
All within LESS than 4 steps of blue.

oh so that is how you do it. Now I learned, kind of easy when you see it.

 

[Akkarin69]

i know you're clapping back at the troll but mate im concerned... how did you spend 2 days on a single episode

7 Routes
(and of course not 2 days as in 48 hours, but 2 days as in started yesterday after it dropped and finished a few hours ago and of course I had some breaks between.)

 

[jd8097619]

Riona guys, just cross your finger, bros.

Yeah, I think I mentioned earlier that her sudden prominence over the last few episodes does feel like setting her up to be the death that blows open Quinn and Stephen's prostitution ring.

 

[adast]

and why didn't you turn it off when the game gave you the option to turn them off.

I always liked minigames in BaDIK but even I have to admit that they became ridiculous.

Fucking fish minigame? Really? Or that party planner that can fuck you over with unlucky placement of DIKs? Or that crane game that makes you pixel hunt the correct coordinates to get a toy?

New Brawler is basically slightly improved old Brawler.

I am completely clueless what minigames DPC meant when he was saying how happy he is about them.

 

[Ottoeight]

BaDIK is like whisky. You have to savour it. Take your time with mini-games and carefully read everything taking your time.

I'm on it since yesterday morning and I only completed 1 main girl path.

(most of all, you'll have to wait 1 year for the next episode)

All the characters are 18+, so at this age if you cannot decide whether you want to join a prostitution ring or not. Your place isn't at school but in a clinic.

Also love how you present them as children who can do no wrong to responsibilize them. "Most of these girls join this life because they had no education in their homes, but are still trying to educate themselves to move forward" Girls in question, Quinn the pimp, Sarah, Melanie, Riona, Camilla, Tana or whatever her name is. None of them fit your description.

It didn't. You get it on the third try, no matter what.
