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

[Melissa fan]

I think BaDIK may surprise you. I loved AL..... and still do but BaDIK won me over. I expect something to happen soon. I do not think this VN will focus just on dating different girls you know.

BaDIK is an amazing game but I have never been more invested in a story than I have with AL. Also Melissa is my favourite girl of all time even over every other tv and movie character.

BaDIK is one of my favourite games but nothing will ever come close to the journey of AL for me.

@Melissa fan I understand ur feelings towards Riona truly I do.... But considering what a massive production this game already is and we are only just started to get into it.


Making a romatic ending for every single girl on the roster seems to me like too much work.

What gives me hope is that we will have a lot of episodes. We could have episodes that reduce the screentime of one of the main girls to build up a side girl and have the final episode be massive with 10 different endings for all the girls. Of course Riona could just be a side girl we occasionally screw for the entire game but I find that thinking I could end up with almost any girl makes me enjoy the game and their character more.

Maybe side girls will get their own main role in the next game I would not mind...... Sooooo many options.......

Sign me up for a Riona game.

I think it was down to a backlash over how AL ended I believe DPC was on the receiving end of quite a lot of the bad stuff that was said over that, he was here when this was at 0.1 but I don't think he stuck around after which is a shame. I like when devs interact with all their fanbases albeit a pirate one.

That's the problem with many devs nowadays. If you are gonna put your work out there for other people to judge than you should develop a thick skin. You just don't run away and hide behind only the people who sing your high praises without any form of criticism. A good example of how a dev should handle criticism is Sean Murray. He became the internets punching bag and yet he came back stronger cause he and his team were willing to interact with their biggest detractors , learn from their mistake ,take the criticism as feedback and completely turn things around for them as a studio and ofc no man's sky as a game. I genuinely respect him and hello games for that

Edit: I have a gut feeling he does lurk around these forums , don't you DPC

The egg the preps hell week task has not been implemented and its possible that Derek completed that off screen.

The Maya and Josy ending u need to follow a chick playtrough and have as many Josy and Maya relation points as possible.

so being together with both of them is actually possible? and i didn't even realized that chick playthrough was even viable since all the options that pop out on dialogue are DIK options

Constructive criticism and harassing/trolling are two different things. I have a feeling we are talking about trolling in this case, aren't we?

In today's climate every form of criticism is either considered trolling or harassing. Like i said if you put your work out there for others you better have a thick skin cause people will judge and some will try and belittle and hurt you using your creation as an excuse. You either fold and hide or you bounce back and come swinging stronger than ever or you can be in denial like bugthesda and pete hines lol what a joke of a company

Well, some people are just different in how they take any criticisms some take it on board and get better while others just can't handle it. As long as it's constructive criticism, of course, you'd probably still get a lot of people who would bring up that ending in AL at every opportunity.

Yeah but one thing is criticism, other is personal insults or attacks, no one should have to tolerate that, less from random anonymous dudes from the internet that may or not be your fans/followers/patreons, at let's be honest, we like the game a lot, but if you're not a Patreon you have no right to say anything against him, you can criticize the game but not him, he delivers for the people that help him.
Anyway, the only way he found to deal with it is separating the fans by those who pay, and those who don't, it may sound a DIK move, but there is no way you can tell if someone is authentic or just trolling, and a troll don't pay to troll
And that's why he put a long-ass note at the beginning of BaDIK, just to make sure what you are against.
And the ones that criticize where a small portion of their fanbase, the problem was that not everyone put their voices out, and the one that didn't like it, cried out loud, really loud.

At the end, it wasn't a criticism because of a bad game, but because people didn't like the ending, so it was personal rather than a bad product, so yeah, there is a difference, the game still great, brilliant writing just like BaDIk, that game was lit, literally

I agree but the way message is sent determines how it is received. Believe me, I am responsible for customer service in a big company and some people just need a filter

As always Dumitas, well said, thumbs up!!!

MC should wear Riona as a blanket.

I would never condone personal attacks on someone cause of a friggin game but i think it goes with the territory, people are just mean in general lol. At the end by doing what he did he just gave more ammo to his detractors and to the trolls but yeah i get what you mean. It was for the sake of his own personal sanity

the game still great, brilliant writing just like BaDIk, that game was lit, literally

I think it is up to us to change it...... If people would stop complaining and simply enjoy the game showing support it might change. It is DPC's story and we need to let him tell it. Of course each of us has favorite girl/girls but we need to take it like in real life and wait for what the future brings.

This is horrible advice. Now Being a Dik is an amazing game so I've got no reason to complain but if that changes then I will voice criticism and if it looks unsalvageable I will walk away.

This idea that you should just take what you are given is for mindless consumers, it's how you end up with a Milfy City or on a much bigger scale Star Wars.

So far I have not seen any Grinches here for now
Just one remark, like with any work of art, the better it is the more controversy, the style of discussion will depend on the level of personal culture.
I do not mind to exchange arguments, everybody has a right to a personal point of view...... and no matter what "family comes first". We do not have to agree with each other but respect is a must

 

[Mormont]

That will only happen if he starts losing patrons I don't think whatever is said here gives him any concern a pirates opinion is probably not very high on his agenda.
