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

[TangerineTango]

Today I played a game where Jill model is used by 3 diffrent character. Why Devs like her model soo much

Which games are these?

 

[Orgitas]

The Imogen (jill), and Aurora (Quinn), models are often advertised. With Daz's push on all Gen 9 they often let the gen 8 models (and below) go on sale. I wouldn't be surprised, at all, if Being a Dik was one of the key reasons many devs use them as a base. This game has sold a LOT and has plenty of eyes on it. Quite a few devs, also don't like to customize their models all too much through morphs. Rather relying on buying clothes addons and big breast morphs.

If you play the Daz game legitimately. *cough cough* The bills still to rack up on purchases.

Lately you can actually find it quite often, but by far I think Quinn is still the most popular model

I get it, she is a looker and with the right body type, hair cut and personllity she shines through. Jill is cute, espcially her eyes and lips, but her personllity in this game killed it for me. While in the other games she is fun and outgoing.

It kind of does look suspicious concidering the fact that everything else on the desk were at the same place. DPC could just copy-paste it but he didn't.

Agree, DPC wouldn't do separate sprite for MC study area specifically for the end of the party (phase 3). It have no sense if it doesn't refer or related to something. While such a small detail is very difficult to notice. I personally noticed this while digging into the game files, not in the game itself.

He made a lot of separate renders for some scenes before as well. Most of the players just not able to notice such small differences. Because it requires both a very good memory and the ability to notice the smallest details and changes in the scenes in your different playtrhoughs.

And now I realized and have to admit that most such scenes changes are related to J&M.

1a) Throuple and MC fucked Josy in EP7 at least twice, 1b) Friends or Throuple where MC cockblocked Josy:


2a) J&M branch, MC fucked Maya at the dorm patry, 2b) J&M branch, MC hadn't fucked her:


3a) "Balanced" Throuple or friends, 3b) MC preferred Josy over Maya most of the times (exclusive for Throuple):


The above ones are the type which just happens, no additional dialogues or altered lines or something that may point you, give some clue and encourage to search for any differences.

Another type, when DPC change 1-2 renders in very specific scenes, but the player should expect some kind of reaction from the characters depending on his previous actions. It's easier to notice, but still pretty easy to miss, because you have to remember the previous scene and dialogue lines.

Maybe. Her model is fantastic IMO. But I am still waiting for a decent game where she is MG. In BaDIK at least she is an important character, with much content.

Wouldn't be surprised if Quinn becomes a MG in BaD. We can live in hope.

I wouldn't say no to that, obviously. But I don't see it happening TBH. I think DPC has stated more than enough times who are the main girls in the game, and it would feel out of place if shifts in that consideration were to take place this far into the game's development without a very, very good reason. And I can live with that, honestly. I like the main girls, even if I prefer Quinn over them. And the latter is an important and well written character of the game. So no complaints from my end.

Quick question: What happens if, during the mansion fix minigame, we manage to get enough money for the windows but don't click on the "buy" button? Are they bought automatically after the last round or we fail the minigame and force Rusty to sell his car?

 

[Crusader of Romance]

I don't know why some people insist on the idea that it was Vinny who destroyed the mansion, the mansion is too big for just one person to destroy. In addition, the dildos left by the Jocks are also scattered around the mansion. How did Vinny destroy the mansion using the dildos that Jocks had at the time?

Actually, there are only 4 dildos in the trashed mansion. 3 placed on shelves in the party room and one on the floor of the MCs room. What happened to the rest, did the Jocks decide to keep them?
But sure, the dildos do point to the Jocks as well as the timing. I'm not saying it was Vinny, just that there is a possibility it was him. But most likely it is as it looks.

If I recal, I don't think so, because there's a point where Rusty forces you to call your dad and buy the windows, and if you have enough money saved up, then Rusty won't sell his car. you literally mustn't have enough money to force him to sell his car at that point.

Well, DPC have said that he won't add any main girls so I doubt it. However, he also has pointed out that people put too much importance on the main girls and that it really only means that those girls are prioritized when he makes the episodes. There will be more routes for other girls and they will also get endings even if they are not main girls.

Which is evident with the whole Zoey interlude and insertion. I very much feel there will be a happy ending with her, too.

I knew it was answered by DPC in his last Q&A so I looked what he said up for you:

Every character is important in their way, and they all serve a purpose. Their screen time will depend on what the episode is about. I am happy with how I've described the main girls since day one. It indicated which girls would receive the most focus in the story, which still stands.
Some players get too hung up on the meaning of main girl versus side girl. I don't think preferring a side girl over a main girl makes the gaming experience anything less. However, the content will likely be less than that of the main girls.
You'll have to see where the story takes you. You might be happy or disappointed, but I'm happy with the stories I have planned for all the characters in the game.

And by accident I was also reminded of why DPC doesn't hire help, so here goes, again from the man himself:

This is a popular question, and my answer has been the same from day one, and it won't change. This setup I have right now with being independent is just how I like it.

Many want me to hire more people because they want the game faster. But getting the game made faster doesn't mean it's the same product. The way I see it, if it were released faster, it wouldn't be the same game that I would create on my own. I know the game would suffer because I wouldn't enjoy making it that way. The reason why many enjoy my games is that I enjoy making them.

As for the load increase with Steam and GOG, the workload increase is now minuscule after setting everything up. After the Season 2 release, the workload has decreased back to normal, and I can focus on game development again.

Increased workload comes from increased popularity; more players means more time for customer support. Luckily, I have awesome mods/admins/testers and a whole community helping out with that.

I am confident I will be making games this way until I stop making games altogether. Expanding is not on the map for me.

Then I got headhunted by steam to be included in their curated catalog – as they opened up their site for adult games. That felt incredible.
I've been contacted by multiple AAA developers, showing impressive CVs and offering their knowledge to work with me. It's very humbling, but as many of you know by now, I have no desire to add anyone to my projects, regardless of experience – I love doing this alone.

Between us guys, if he is so inclined to make non-sexual animations he probably need to hire a decent 3D animator. Some of his animations are pretty meh.

I think the journey and learning as he goes is part of the motivation and fun and the fuel to keep going. I don't know if it's true or not, since our only source is DPC, but he said he works 12-14hours a day, 6 days a week and he never takes a day off or has ever taken any holidays, like even on his one day off is going through all his plans in his head.

And if we believe him, you just gotta admire the commitment and the obsession with doing it by himself and learning as he goes, there is something old school about it, that I admire greatly.

Are there better renders out there ? Hell yea !
Are there better animations out there ? Hell yea !
Are there better stories out there ? Hell yea !
Are there better writers out there ? Hell yea !

But if you take the complete package, as of right now, DPC is still the man in my opinion.

The animations are some of best around if not the best. Sure there a few that can be better but the number of people doing better can be counted on one hand and the number at the scale DPC does is pretty much zip. At this point it very unlikely for DPC hire help and it's not like it would help any

If DPC is this detailed it makes me wonder why Quinn reacts the same way when she finds out that Vinny threatened the MC with a gun (regardless of whether the MC is DIK or CHICK). Is there any theory that Quinn is in love with the CHICK MC as well?

Depends on what you are comparing him to. For AVNs his animations are top of the line. For videogames in general, they are something from 00s.

 

[Crusader of Romance]

Nick's room was the least accessible in the mansion (other than the locked plant room). His room is upstairs above the dining/kitchen area at the end of the hall past Jacob's room. The jocks spent most of their time in the main rooms where most of the partying/communal living goes on and then did the individual rooms once those were thoroughly smashed. Nick's was the last one anyone got to and by then they decided it was time to go since the rest of the place had been trashed.

Not much more than Jacobs and his got really trashed.

DPC isn't perfect and he isn't a big game studio but if a man one show is doing work as good as the 2000's even if I'm not sure a agree with that comparison thats still pretty good even great
