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

[Gunizz]

Been on the fence for trying this for a while - finally pulled the plug and downloaded the 20Gig S1 and S2

I gotta ask what is so special about this game .. I'm not even attacking I'm genuinely asking - renders look nice but I see no animations which is rather disappointing specially it being 20GB

Looks to be story heavy so can someone just lemme know about the quality of the sexual stuff and if animations are there later on before i sink in more time - its 20GB so I'm sure its gonna take a while to get through the game and I dont wanna invest so much time only to regret it lmao

Do you base your interest only on animations? There are animation by the way. And if any, too many animations as you progress. The quality of animations is average for a VN. If you're expecting professional animations that's not the VN for you, if there is any (I have yet to see proper animations in a VN).
I personally appreciate this VN for various aspects, so yes you'll have to deal with a not linear plot, you will have to actually read all the dialogues, deal with extra stuff like phone apps and minigames and so on. It takes many hours to play and play again to discover all the paths.

Lewds are not among the best and are scarce in quantity compared to many others AVNs. So if you just look for sex scenes and good lewd animations this VN is not for you.

If you're into cutscenes "suitable for work" animations just wait for next episode in March 2025 (probably).

Lewds are ... scarce in quantity compared to many others AVNs.

What is the basis for this statement? Genuine question, not an attack, I'm just curious.

I wouldn't say lewds are scarce in this game, and I've certainly played many games with far fewer lewds (taken in proportion to the total game length). Season 1-2 has 100 lewd scenes (and there's 34 in the Interlude + ep10), and I can't correlate that with the word "scarce". What you see obviously depends on choices, but there are definitely plenty of lewds there...

Compared to the gameplay (the hours you need to properly finish an episode), the sex scenes are scarce. An episode of BaD is much bigger than a comparable single episode from the average VN. You have to consider the total volume, the ratio between sex scenes and the rest. Episode 11 will have even fewer lewds, only 18 scenes among 7150 static renders. Season 1 with a similar number of static renders had 29 scenes.
BaD is not really focused on sex scenes, so if you promote it telling newbies "you'll get plenty of good sex scenes" they will be deluded, you are creating false expectations. There are many VN more filled with sex or eroticism, compared to BaD.
So if a players looks mostly for sexual content, I wouldn't suggest this VN. It's not a VN that can suit everybody.

I disagree that you would be deluding anyone or creating false expectations. And people play at different speeds anyway. It's not like it's a sex scene every time you blink, but it's hardly devoid of them either. Saying the scenes are scarce creates the impression (to me) that there are hardly any scenes, which is just not the case. I would suggest it's quite well balanced - it's not giving you so many scenes as to be just a fuckfest, but it's also not blue-balling you, it's comfortably in the middle.

And to be clear, I'm not saying that I personally promote the game based on the number or quality of the scenes, as I initially said, I was just curious as to your chosen response and wording.

Plus can anybody see any difference between 60fps & 30fps

I guess he did 60 fps just because the character moves pretty slow during sex scenes. If you just speed up the scene the animations get jerky. Scenes with 60 fps are much smoother which is evident in the last episode.

"Quality" is very subjective. The quantity is larger, though, for sure. Look at the Interlude: For what was a very short story, size-wise (GB) it was about 2 thirds the size of his older game, but ran for no where near the length, was hardly interesting, had excessive renders for scenes that hardly needed them (like the scene when Zoey's getting tattooed, there are almost 30 different renders when the camera is simply panning back and forward between her and Bret. Why were there 30 renders? There only needed to be 2, 5 at most...).

What I'm pointing out is that when he released his first game, he released it on a timely schedule. 1, to 1.5 months between episodes. Now, he just takes longer and longer for each episode. 3 months for the 2nd episode. 3 1/2 for the 3rd, 4 1/2 for the 4th, 5/12 for the 6th, 7 months for the 8th episode, 9 1/2 for the 9th, 11 months for the 10th episode and now it looks to be 13+ months for the 11th episode. If he had actual investors, as opposed to everyday patrons, he'd be lynched by now. Lucky for him, Patreon's model actually rewards his continual bloat.

By the 4th episode people were already hooked on this game, there was nothing wrong with the quality, the length of the episode, or pretty much anything at all; people had long since been calling it a masterpiece. By the 5th episode he had peaked regarding steady patrons, and that episode took just over 5 months. The game isn't getting better, it's getting bloated; filled with excessive renders, highly unnecessary animations, and it's less engaging now than it was 3/12 years ago.

He should have stuck to the size and quality of the earlier episodes. Of course it wouldn't make sense financially, so actually he's perfectly fine doing it the way he is, but it is undeniably ridiculous.

The more I think about the reasons for everything that's going on right now, the more I'm sure his main mistake is the сrossroad. When ep8 ended it was already clear that he had trapped himself and development would only get more difficult. Usually developers introduce branching in the final stages, but he did it in the middle. He could have easily done without it. There was no need to create such long episodes because of branching to give equal content to all branches.
Also, it's been 3-4 months in the game at the time of ep8. No one makes such a big decision so early. MC could have easily announced his decision on Valentine's Day.

How I love this productive discussion about milking Patreons in a fucking pirate forum .

If you are a patron your are supporting someone, of course the value is higher than a game after a while, but that's not the point

If it weren't for them this game wouldn't exist, so stop this useless discussion.

Also you are all getting the game for free, so stop bitching.

It's really funny. Especially since he fucking BANNED EVERYONE FROM F95 IN HIS DISCORD SERVER AND PATREON! WE CAN'T FUCKING SUPPORT HIM BECAUSE WE'RE BANNED!

 

[MightbeSomeone]

He didnt ban everyone . Only those that talk about the site on the discord

 

[VaderExMachina]

no, he does ban even if you don't mention it, call me paranoid but i'm sure he has his spies here. as soon as a new patron joins they check if his username matches any f95 user, if it's a match, then BAN.

 

[asakura14]

it's not a problem for this page but this is the most popular page so...!

Why, on so many pages/games, the download links and descriptions dissappeared?? one example: Midnight paradise

For Midnight Paradise it's still there. A lot of people ignore the user 7767 though, and as that account is the OP for a lot of games (including MP), it prevents the first post (which contains that info and those links) from being shown.

thanks, thats hella usefull, don't know why my ignore list is so big, i never intentionally ignored anybody

 

[dDeux]

1 year without update?

This kinda matches up with my experience to be fair, I got banned about a day after pledging. There is something fishy about it all.

 

[Better Cock Spock]

People like to cite this scene when saying Bella is mother figure to MC, and you know what?

I agree but only for the joke.

 

[MiltonPowers]

Well that was a lot of interesting conversations going on while I was snoring soundly. I think you guys covered just about everything.

You are so wise Milton. I only wish I could be half as great as you

 

[psycho15]

During free roam at the begining of chapter 10 my saves dosen't work properly. All phone progress (Bios, Games, Rooster etc), reset after reload. Is there anything I can do about this?

 

[MontyP1]

Enjoying the story so far but I seem to have run into a issue.

Just started into season 3 ep 10. The first free roam at the party, one of the optional tasks include texting 4 people including Jill. The other three I have no issues with but whenever I try Jill I get the "exception has occurred" error. I can roll back and so far everything else seems to be working as it should.
