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

bigger question who is hated more tybait or maya's dad

We don't know what her dad is like and I think people imagine some 2 dimensional bad guy which frankly wouldn't make that much sense when both Maya and Derek grew up to be decent people.

bigger question who is hated more tybait or maya's dad

For now Tybalt.

 

[Gladheim]

surely we will not be able to save them all, already in the sixth chapter there is the strong feeling that we will have to choose whether to continue with Jill (perhaps Sage is recoverable ...)

but not all of these dangers are of the same level

Bella's is not evaluable, it could be as hopeless as being a simple betrayal ...
I don't see how Jill's blackmail can be more of a setback, can the daughter of an important family end up being the sex slave of a page boy like Tybalt? can she really fall in love with him? I do not think so
Sage has to make peace with herself, but she has no real problems, and the presidency doesn't seem to care much

from Maya and Josy come the real dangers, if we knew that MC's $ 5,000 is at least in the order of magnitude of the tuition, we could rest assured, but in this uncertainty anything can happen. if she brings Maya home at the end is among the best guesses, eventually we will somehow bring her back to BR. but what if he actually pushed Maya to break up with Josy? he had almost succeeded once before. or if he forced MC to defend Maya physically, putting himself in even more trouble?



I don't know what to recommend.

when I finished it I thought that if I had played AL before, maybe I would never have started playing BADIK

but perhaps it was an exaggerated reaction

Save them from what? In the event that only one can be chosen, the others do not have to ruin her life, first Maya and Josy, if her tuition is so important to her then she leave Josy and continue her studies, she will have time to return with her or find another Or rather drop her studies and live a life with josy, it is not that that is something so serious. Sage? by god she just broke up with a boyfriend who doesn't love her and was a fucking idiot, it happens to a lot of girls and it's not the end of the world. Jill? Well being blackmailed is not a good thing of course but as long as it is only never seeing the MC again it is not that bad either, and finally Bella, we don't know anything about this so this is where the real problem can be. Real problems , nothing bad compared to have a mortal illnes or being burned alive or being a serial killer xD

there is little doubt, starting with how Maya described him


and I don't think Derek can be proof of a good father figure

 

[crabsinthekitchen]

He's talking about set not the match, Jill always win her set but you can win the match.If you never lost a set for her you only played a one set match, if you play the 3 set match you lose her set.

Not always. If you play perfectly during her set, there's a CHANCE that you might win. I've done it, although with the amount of times I had to reload, it's faster to just lose it and win the third set

Not quoting or replying directly because like 8 people talked about it. RE: DPC's upcoming dark ending

All the LIs have a sword dangling above their head right now:

• Maya/Josy has Maya's religious father holding finances over her
• Sage has finding out who the cheater is, and potentially losing the presidency coupled with anger issues
• Bella has her secret and that "I would have called out for help" line
• Jill is being blackmailed (it's a little more over your head, tbh)

I have a bad feeling you're going to have to pick and choose who to help. You either calm down Sage before she does something she regrets, or you help Bella through whatever. Solve the blackmailing or deal with Maya's dad... So on. That's likely what these big one or the other choices have been leading up to.

Honestly I'm hoping the game follows normal story structure where shit gets really bad for the next few updates, but you can navigate through it and fix most things then get an ending on the same emotional level as the beginning. This game doesn't feel like it's been hinting at being dark enough to feel rightfully like a tragedy. The whiplash worked once in AL but doing it twice might just end with everyone bitter.

I hope the intro is only telling you it will dip into the negative aspects, not end in it.

tbh. Jills issues don't seem to compare to everyone elses at this point.
Sure, she is being blackmailed but her worst outcome (so far - this might change in time) is that she might not be able to jump MCs dick.
The others are a bit more serious.
Worst case Maya is forced to leave college and be stuck in debt with her religious nutjob father likely using that to make her even more dependent on himself.
Sage is technically being set up to take the fall for Quinn and Burke. I get the feeling that this will happen by default in CHICK-playthroughs since you won't be close enough to Quinn and the HOTs to have any influence on this outcome. DIK can probably either help Quinn or at least convince her to do the right thing and not betray her sisters trust.
Bella seems like she is the most likely candidate for the reason the warning was given at the start. If BaDIK ends up having something like a destructive mental breakdown and/or suicide, then so far I can only really see that being part of Bellas plot (or next episode we find out that it's Mona, but I would still question Bellas mental state tbh.).

I don't know about the save files, but to avoid this kind of situation this tip:
it's very easy to build a native Mac build yourself from the Windows version (instructions are here: https://f95zone.to/threads/how-to-create-a-mac-version-of-any-renpy-game.3289/post-3532643) No need for Wine.

Thanks but no need, I was able to recover my saves. Thanks tho, I'll keep this in mind

Then you should report this to the developer , or you crash the game by reloading so much or you found a bug...its a pre established 3 set game if you win the second set it won't be a 3 set game or shouldn't be, even the official walkthrough says that she always win. Props to you this community is more engaged than the beta tester

What Maya is g8f body character?

 

[KuroKumo]

I might not have like it but it is what made me a fan of DPC's for life.

I would have never even thought that a game like this would be able to make me feel like that.

This is what I'm really excited for, honestly. MC has been on these major paths and they're starting to intersect. Making big, irreversible decisions like this helps to raise the stakes and set the game up for some really interesting stuff heading into future episodes. Story structure-wise, if this season follows the same formula as the last one, then I bet things in Episode 7 will get REALLY bad for a bit. Then Episode 8 -- the season finale -- will leave us with some resolution, though maybe in a darker place than the first season left us, albeit with some glimmers of hope. Assuming that this game is indeed going for at least twelve episodes, it makes sense that we'd begin to really progress in some of these storylines.

it is not a question of making predictions, just remember in the third chapter the thought of the "MC from the future" which warns against the fact that Bella would have needed help already then



Will MC make it?

Maya/Josy - I'll give them my 5K and let them work things out the best they can while I go my separate way
Bella - I'll watch with fascination when she finally breaks and then go my separate way
Jill - I'll send Tybalt and her a watermelon as a wedding present and go my separate way
Quinn - She'll get stabbed to death in a dark alley by a meth head before I step over her lifeless corpse and go my separate way

Sage - If DPC doesn't make her die from Covid then she'll dump me at the last minute and run off with Chad, Caleb, or some other fucking loser while I....yeah.

 

[KekWGgWP]

Let's not fool ourselves people, something bad indeed will happened soon, everything was too nice and dandy until now, i feel like the things will start to escalate.

 

[KekWGgWP]

It seems to me that the mod as it is right now doesn't allow this.
Let's take the Jill/Sage choice: mod allow to see both scenes, but in the final recap i got "I choose Sage over Jill" in both girls card maybe beacuse Sage scene is played "last". Same happende in ep.5 between Maya/Josy when Josy's father came to campus.
Hopefully when the game will be his in final state there will be a "complete" mod that will allow everything in a single playthruogh

I chose Jill over Sage, hope she doesn't die from COVID and haunt my ass as a ghost.

Damn, maybe the games name was a hint all along.
Being a DIK doesn't actually relate to the fraternity, but it's instead short for "Being a Dik-dik". A Dik-dik is a deer (

) and just like a deer in headlights once all of these problems start barreling towards us we'll just stand there and do nothing, which will lead to us losing every LI on all paths.

I'm sorry I can't be friends with you anymore.

 

[moskyx]

I think it's pointless to try and guess from where the drama can come individually for each love interest. We should look for the great scheme of things. Just rememeber that in AL someone dies for an external force, just a casualty no one expected and for reasons she never was involved at. So I can't rule out anything, probably everything is connected and everyone ends fucked up by Quinn and Burke's exploits except our main girl, and that's only if we've behaved. Intertwined drama.

EDIT.- That said, the MC talks in the intro about finding your own family so maybe it's just a matter of choosing the one that doesn't deceive you after helping her at the best of your abilities. Only DPC knows

 

[aarbei23]

Let us never forget BaD's first victim

 

[KekWGgWP]

I'm sorry I can't be friends with you anymore.

Sage for me is too romantically undecided, here's MC who's giving out his soul to make her feel better and she treats him like a fuck buddy even tho he's more than that and here's Sage who's obsessed with Chad to catch him on wrong foot, even when he left her, she still wants to know with who cheated on her.
