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

[neymarhexa]

Narratively, it could be.

Programmatically, it does not make any sense to initialize a variable to False and then provide just one conditional instruction that sets it to... False, as it was from the beginning.

I repeat: with current v0.11.1 , at the end of Episode 11 the variable ep11_bianca_path will ALWAYS be False, no matter what the player chooses.
What you are suggesting could work only if in case the player chooses to stop flirting the variable were set to True. But there is not any instruction to set it to True.

So, unless DPC releases a patch for Episode 11, he will not be able to detect what the player chose. This is a technical bug that makes the variable ep11_bianca_path programmatically useless.

What's the use of a variable which can ONLY be False?

---

The problem is that installing such a patch won't fix saves made while playing with v0.11.1. Users would be forced to replay Episode 11 from a save before that menu is displayed to correctly assign the value to the variable ep11_bianca_path

(I have a workaround for this, but it would require to change the name to that variable, and then if the game detects the old variable and not the new one, it explicitly asks "Did you choose to flirt more with Bianca?" and uses this answer to valorize the new variable, since the old one doesn't carry any information)

---

In particular, about:


Currently that variable is not tested anywhere, so the bug doesn't cause any issue during gameplay.

It can only be spotted by decompiling the scripts. And we all know how much DPC hates folks decompliling his code... So likely no one dares reporting "Hey, I decompiled your game and found a bug" under the fear of being instabanned.

Probably, the solution that DPC will adopt is to check these variables: ep11_bianca_dick, ep11_bianca_flirt


Instead of: ep11_bianca_path


Then, by checking these other variables, our great genius DPC will update ep11_bianca_path to True. (Although some people may have enabled all these variables and, when it came to the choices of flirting more with Bianca or not, changed their minds and backed out. But since he hasn't released a patch until now, this is probably how it will be.)

On the real, if he was younger, Glenn Howerton would make a perfect tremolo

We'll keep getting bitches next episode, i wanna know what music genre will MC play at the recital. Will he be able to hold the guitar correctly this time?

assuming you're not skipping that for the MMA competition

This game has officially entered 'time waster'. If it updates, great. If not, no big loss. It's so overly bloated at this point, and the quality suffers. with all the 4090 cards, you would think that DPC could illustrate a pair of yoga pants ripping that doesn't look like it's made of literal paper mache.

It officially crossed over the "time wasting" territory when DPC locked the sage scene to a select choice of not even flirting with jade back in episode 3 (sage being on DIK path no less). I finally broke down and just used the cheat mod, because that's completely asinine. If his expectation to justify a yearlong update is for you to go all the way back to episode 3 to replay to get a specific scene now, that's f**cked. It's already a chore to get through the SAME storyline, same math answers, english scrabble, to grab the few extra scenes. with regards to the overarching storyline, not much changes? no matter which LI path you're on? I understand DPC is only one person, but there's really no point in cycling through the same 500 scenes just to get a couple off the path sex scenes. It's not a meaningful change in experience, and it's just tedious and repetitive. It's just not worth it. Is there even any penalty/reward for not failing tests anymore? I don't notice any change.

Not the mention the drop in the quality of the scenes aren't really worth it either? I really don't like DPC's recent trend of having YOU pick the sex position to go back to, and when you want to "cum". Just kinda kills the immersion. I went back and replayed a sage sex scene (from season 1 ep 2or 3?) at the DIK/HOT party outside and the animation, shots and pacing of the scene was 1000x better than the recent sex scenes that have supposedly have beefed up quality renders etc.

The story has had glacial movement, instead DPC is focused on introducing new characters to an already bloated cast of girls. It shouldn't take a year+ to write a fairly obvious story on a college guy trying to fuck girls on campus, and a drug scandal that's been teased since episode 1. I haven't noticed any QoL since like episode 6 or 7, and i think DPC was releasing updates every couple of months, not years.

Agree 100%. I wasn't even excited for this newest update and haven't even played it yet. Ep 9 and Ep 10 were slow, boring, and just below average at best. This game drew me in early on but somewhere in the middle, it just fell flat to me. I have been sticking with it since I did put a good amount of time into playing it but it's fading fast. He could probably cut down on a ton of dev time and get updates out faster if he doesn't overcomplicate things like the minigames and put stupid added things like the fight club into the game. Even people who might like the fight club thing, I'm pretty sure would forego it if it meant more updates and better story advancement.

I wouldn't mind seeing an movie/mini-series adaptation of Being A DIK, even if it's a porn parody instead of borderline like American Pie. They've done it with videogames that had worse stories (aka zero to none).

Hey, I like the fight club, fight club is fun.

Maybe there would be less sex in the series than in the game. I think it would be like Californication

 

[Mmoney7187]

Oh wow didn't know you could actually mess with Bianca at the party, I flirted with her every chance I got on the Jill path and still missed out.

 

[Kodek]

How about this one?

Her nearly permanent duck face makes me want to suck her soul out of her lips and fuck it at the same time, like goddamn.
It's hard to choose what's more tempting on her: her lips, specially when she bites them or her bubble butt.

The story would fit a small serie yeah and without the need for so much sex scenes we could focus on the characters a lot more which is the strong point of the game anyways.

Yeah and it's easy to miss too. Just say Rusty can do whatever he want with Micha and you'll be able to mess around with Bianca.

I assume you told Rusty he's better than this when advising him on ole girl which caused you to miss out on the bianca stuff.

True. I believe that if you're not on any route, the only "sex scenes" you really get is the Maya-teasing and the cum-petition following back to back. All others are optional (not counting the interlude).

 

[Kodek]

All of them except Amelia. Even Liv is undressing him with her eyes.

Jill's mom feels so frigid to me. It feels that even if we had that chance, the dick would come out completely frozen out of her.

That would make it even worse than Becky... Is that even possible?

Then again, her husband (forgot his name) shot his load at least 2 times in her, so that must mean she has some sexual capabilities.

But it would need a canon girl for MC to end up with anyways. It's not like he can follow all the routes.

True, but that will almost certainly be the most popular one, who is probably either Sage, Bella, Quinn or Lily.

The real question is who would be the main love interest in the series? I imagine it would be Sage or Jill with Sage being the more likelier due to her proximity to the diks and her Chad storyline opening up a whole lgbtq storyline which would be appealing nowadays.
