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

[Chillout1984]

Wasn't he high on mushrooms at this point in the story? Or was it coming down from them? Perhaps he's a serious mushroomer... I do have to fire this one up again as I haven't played it in far too long. Doesn't help that I lost all my Ren'Py saves as %AppData% was a place I forgot to check for useful files.... I really dislike the default Ren'Py save location, and have permanently fixed that now.

Yes he was, but I don't think he was on any drugs (except maybe alcohol) during the other serious talks.

Maybe... DrPinkCake is the same woman who originally did the voice acting for both Jill and Bella (of which only Jill's is left in-game during the intro). It would explain why only one voice actress was to be used for two different characters.

If this game had voice acting, I'd expect the actors to do a lot more than two characters each.

What I wouldn't expect is Jill and Bella having the same voice since they interact with each other so much. You need massive talent to pull off doing a scene with yourself so that the audience doesn't catch on.

it took so long for one episode

DPC is either a girl or he pays a girl, or his wife, to do these announcements. There is no way that these texts are a man's text.

Why do have this impression ?

My favorite girl from the "others" branch with Lily coming in close after. Yes she is more or less a hooker and a drug dealer and I agree that she is well aware of what is going on. I liked how she started to open up to MC and found her interaction and character more interesting.
The kidnapping at the end seems to be Vinny searching for who phased him out of the strip club. She was on the phone, so I'd expect MC to go for a rescue of some sort.

Zoey turned out to be more interesting than anticipated and I'm intrigued by how things will develop with MC.

True. I finally made a path exclusively for Riona in others, since Quinn isn't included. I didn't smoke weed, so it kind of blocked Quinn's path for me, I was only able to have sex with her again in the threesome with Sage.
SO I am wondering how will MC find out about Riona's kidnapping if he has no interaction with Quinn or her business. She doesn't trust MC and Riona was in a call with her. Will she let MC knows about it? I wonder how that will work, since MC seems to be there to solve everyone's problems.
And yes. If you take your time to make a path for Riona she does become a very interesting and sweet character. She had some growth and she is a pleaser, what most of the time people see as easy to manipulate. But those are 2 very different things.
And about zoey, I wasn't expecting anything from her. But after she showed up, she became what Quinn used to be for me, but without the drugs or prostitution lol.

That's right, when you hear the voicelines she did for Bella, they sound almost exactly the same as Jill's aside from the tone of voice. There's no voice acting done for the rest of the characters however, so DPC abandoned the idea fairly early on. Only one VA was ever used.

Y’know, all joking aside, it would explain why the author/developer is trying so hard to teach us cooking/gardening/math/gender studies/etc. and to be so sensitive to female emotions/problems/issues/etc. I’m just sayin’… Does anyone actually know the identity of DPC? Just curious.

If you call that "teaching gender studies", then I think you're also taking mushrooms It's clear he's making fun of it (not that I mind of course).

Maybe “teach” is going too far. But, you sure do have to memorize a bunch of unwanted random nonsense each time in that awful excuse of a mini-game.

I don't think that statement is going to age very well with Rio's kidnapping, also why is Quinn head red?

Yeah. I can't wait to see Fuckface speed rope out of a helicopter with the Delta team to rescue Rionna from the clutches of B&R's most notorious failed frat boy. More likely that Vinny is just gonna call Quinn, who will promptly kick him in the nuts and stick a switchblade up his nose.

She was on the phone with Quinn however, and we know she isn't the best at making short term decisions (at least not lately, Rio says so herself). My guess is that at most she will call MC for help in time if you're on her route, and even that is a stretch. I'd more think that at first and probably for a while she tries to do it on her own.

I would never cheat on Queen Josy

Then why do you get creepy messages from a obsessed banana lover ?
You really urgently need to explain to your "queen,and with an hour-long Alady serenade you won't just get away with it..

 

[Deleted member 6546851]

Does anyone actually know the identity of DPC? Just curious.

No. As far as I know, his Discord members call him 'Colle' for whatever reason. Whether that's his real name or not, I couldn't say. It's also known that he's Swedish and that he apparently has a wife whom many believe to be either a feminist or German. That's about it.

If you want to go further down the list of what people know about him so far, there's been users here claiming that DPC has publicly stated that Jacob is the character he most relates to. In addition to that, in one of his Q&A's, he said Derek's humour is based on his and his friends' sense of humour.

To be honest I think it started off as a bit of a bad attempt at humour (it's probably the most cringe-worthy aspect of Being A DIK) but instead it's slowly morphed into more background of Derek and Maya's upbringing. It makes sense Derek is still somewhat misogynistic/sexist despite how supportive of his sister he is when you see the insane nuttery they grew up with.
