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

[Meushi]

Him ghosting F95 is definitely counter intuitive.

If he was posting here from time-to-time, people would see him as more of a human and this would surely lead to more subscriptions.

I don't know if there is any history behind his severance from this site (some people say he was sick of people dissing AL for its twist, but I don't know about that).

But from what I’ve heard from older forum members like Holy Bacchus, he really was tired by the shit people were giving him about the twist and left. Which is weird, because there are his posts on this thread (the one where he says he needs the money is the most recent one, I think).

So technically he left after AL, but came back to promote his new game later? Then apparently he leaves again and bans everyone mentioning this place.

DPC deleted his original account in Aug 2018, after being constantly harassed about how episode 0.5 ended (long before AL ended).

or maybe he deleted his account cos he doesn't want to be dealing with BS once ep 5 was released he got a lot of hate about the ending and some people even PMed him some Bullshit stuff like
"tell me everything now whats gonna happen in the next eps or i won't pledge blah" ps. this is one of the nice ones.

a lot of the bad posts were deleted...

Then created a new account in Nov 2018, after the heat about episode 0.6 had died down a bit and he'd started the switch to BaDIK. But the harassment followed him into BaDIK, extending as far as death threats:

Being sought out and threatened to life over how I choose to write my stories and openly insulted and accused of being mentally insane over a game, that's the real toxic behavior.

So of course he racked off to other channels where he doesn't have to suffer that sort of bullshit & nukes the account of anyone that pisses him off. He last posted here Jun 2019.

Doesn't seem counter intuitive to me, I wouldn't put up with that either.

Question. Is there a way to unzip a new copy of BAD clean of saves without I have to delete my old saves. I already have a copy with all the saves I played so far and that I want to keep to when season 2 starts. But I want to play another clean copy of the game with no saves appearing on it.

Not easily.

On Windows Ren'Py stores saves in two places, the game\saves folder and %appdata%\RenPy\BeingaDIK-1535311494

You need to remove your saves and persistent file from both places to get a fresh start.

There is new information, but we need to clarify something ... Do we know why Lana died?

No

I accidentally patched my 0.7.2 game to 0.8.2. Of course the game won't work. Does anyone have a download link somewhere to the 0.7.2 version? So I can patch it first to the 0.8, instead of losing my saves.

One option would be to install the (all three), which should over-ride the official 0.8.2 patch so your patched game will work again.

The "the rain lewd scene" is one of the best for the single reason, the song. That's of course imo

Well, the scene fits the song and the song fits the scene, that's what makes it perfect.

This one is really good too, it sets the mood perfectly

You must be registered to see the links

But there are a lot of songs I like, 11/10 soundtrack.

DrPinkcake must have spent hundreds of hours listening to music, it's really hard to find good tracks in those stock music sites, I once had to do it for my job and most of it is boring uninspired elevator music crap, finding the hidden gems requires a lot of effort and good taste.

They are pricey, too. ~200-300 dollars per song if I remember correctly. DPC can afford it but it's too much for the average developer.

Will try that, thanks!

What if Lynette's family sold the family home to the Royces?

If you are a profesional writer (and DPC is, since he sells a product), and are going to play the George R. R. Martin game, making people get fond of your characters, and then killing them out of the blue, you must have the guts to endure the rage that has created yourself among your own fans. What was he expecting? That people was going to thank him for killing their Lis?

What if Lynette's family sold the house to the Royces?

Those are two totally different houses...

 

[hakuna-matata]

Those are two totally different houses...

Not if the house where Lynette and her friends are photographed is her family home.
In her diary she states she can't still live in her home because her father intends to sell it.

Death threats are not and never will be okay, anyone who does that can go fuck themselves.
But I've said it before, I understand him wanting to distance himself from here, however, banning people for simply mentioning this website is bullshit, it gives him and BaDIK an enormous exposure and those people are not at fault that there are some assholes in here that can't behave...

Yea, that all sounds great. But his first post here in Feb. 2019 was a pretty brutal shot at anyone that didn't like his ending to AL. When he intentionally pokes the bear he shouldn't be surprised at being mauled.

Of course someone that makes death threads should be banned. I don´t know how many of those there actually were, and I don´t think that DPC felt really in danger, but it´s not pleasant and should not be allowed.

That said, the angry reaction about the ending of AL was provoked by DPC himself. He should have known what was going to happen. People don´t want to get fond of a character to see her die meaningless. I only hope he will not do the same with BaDIK.

About hanging here with us, I´m pretty sure that he enters in this tread from time to time. But I understand that he doesn´t want to interact with us. He doesn´t need it anymore. That´s something that usually only new devs trying to make themselves known do.

...to play the George R. R. Martin game, making people get fond of your characters, and then killing them out of the blue...

The difference is, in Acting Lessons the people dying were characters that were part of the story. In George Martin's books, you read each chapter from the 1st person view of many of the characters -> so when they die it is more like having your DND character killed than just a story NPC die.

Not sure about everyone else, but that was what made character death in Song of Ice & Fire so much more shocking for me. That and the fact that it always surprised me (starting with Ned!).

^ Not that the end of Acting Lessons didn't hit me pretty hard...

people were fond of meghan? maya fans, right? should've named her charcoal. lean on that lighter fluid.

OK, now I understand you. Lynette´s family were living in the newer house, and sold them to the Royces to move to the older mansion. Yes, that´s possible.

Or just, one of the two friends of Lynette in that photo (probably the brunette one) is a Royce and that´s her house.

Oooh conspiracy theories on the plot?

MC and Tommy look a little bit alike (in a story with so many different looking characters) ... so maybe they are related? Tommy's family obviously from somewhere near MC's family home (because Josy step sister etc).

If you look at the physical resemblance of the characters, Maya is not Derek´s twin sister (they don't even look the same race), Neil is the father of Derek and John Boy, Tommy is Tremolo´s evil twin, and Jill is a Kardashian... I don´t know where that train of thoughts can carry us...

Maybe a cross between a Kardashian and a hyena, that smile. Turns my blood to icewater just thinking about it

Heh... Congrats on being on GOG!

 

[Heimeropen]

didn't think I'd see an adult game on GOG. Badik being the 1st is quite fitting I'd say. The fact that people still see CDPR as some gaming industry saviors even after cyberpunk is incredibly funny to me. Even more so,when you read the comments and see people admit they played it on steam but somehow wants to keep GOG "pure".I like CDPR for the Witcher series but people should seriously realize they are a normal company lol

The first Adult (+18) game on GOG is, believe it or not, EVENICLE!

 

[Olsens.M]

Oh OFT. I agree with you about the choice of Steve Major. I have some theories and speculation about it, but nothing concrete. This decision is obviously so trivial and insignificant as portrayed by DPC that probably exactly what Isabella once told the MC in EP2 applies. Reverse Pschyology.

DPC himself has written in such a way that seemingly unimportant decisions have no impact at first, but become important later. As you correctly note, Steven has a haircut of 50. Quinn refers to Josy's dance in EP5 as a 70s dance. Neil and Lynette's story takes place in the late 90s, and the calendar on Maya's closet shows us 2017 and 2020, which are the 10s and 20s of the 21st century.

1950: Grandfather or grandmother
1970: father or mother
1990: Josy, Maya, Sage, Jill, Tommy, Rusty, MC, etc.
2017-2020: presence of Josy and MC working in the store.

Now the only question is why Steve is filling up the applesauce in aisle 9.

The question I ask myself is how long has the tradition of cum petition been around? I assume this tradition predates the existence of the DIKs. That could then explain the applesauce over decades.
Steve, the little freak, knows quite a bit about B&R. Did he maybe go to this college once? We don't know his age, so it's possible. Maybe he once had to prove himself on a cum-petition? Possible. But now we know that this is probably the first time the HOT's have done such a cum petition of EP2. Accordingly, Steve's will have had a Pink Rose Girl on his lap during his cum petition. Who's got a kid again?

This has everything to do with apples. But more on that in another post, because otherwise I'd go beyond the scope.

My mc is covered.

The problem is that most of people, when they see "Adult VN" they automatically think about sex only without even care about the plot or the story. That is why most of games are of a boy who lives with his mother/stepmom/landllady or whatever and fucks her, his sisters and his friends. That shit is annoying as fuck. I don't want to fuck my family over and over again.
It is because of poeple who criticize DPC that all other novels are the same. Empty and with some sexual graphics that won't even make sense to the story. If I want that, I can just watch some porn on pornhub.
