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

[jd8097619]

Fortunately, his remaster idea is on hold until he finishes the game, and I hope he stays true to that line. A remaster before the main game is finished is the last thing we need.

I notice a lot of the fish eye lens effect in the earlier episodes, too. While I agree a remastering of the earlier seasons would be nice for a polished uniform look, I certainly hope he doesn’t start that nonsense before he finishes the story.
A pointless, not so fun, personal fact; I bought Poser 5 for $$$$$ hundred when it was brand new. Busy Work schedule and a poor pc that couldn’t handle the software meant that it collected dust for years. Before I saw and dl’d Daz3D for the first time, a couple years later, I found out that the free/discounted update for that old a version of Poser was no longer available. I have a very expensive coaster. *sigh…

I see no reason to doubt them on this, it's clear they want to get to the end of this (in a good way) and that's their only real goal. If DPC was interested in "milking" they'd have disappeared years ago given they probably made decent six figures by the end of season 2 if not seven figures.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

What route did you choose for your first playthrough?

I went for Bella, as I'm close to her age so it was easier for me to be touched by her story & understand her general attitude. (Plus, she reminds me of my beloved wife)
Also I kinda lost myself in her massive boobs eyes. Damn thoses eyes..

But I've to say 'chapeau' to DPC becase all main LIs are equally worth pursuing [IMO] & choosing The One™ took an hour of looking into my soul.

I've a save for each (CHICK) route at the end of chapter 8 and I'm exploring very routes now.

EDIT : Btw, I really love your "Lewderboxd" posts. Keep it up!

Nick is innocent.. Jacob is the big snake/rat.
I was just passing by.

Nick always tells the truth.
Jacob could have harbored a grudge against the Dicks for a long time because of his unsuccessful Hell Week. He was arrested while jogging naked.
I thought Jacob might be the traitor, but one thing keeps me from believing it.
When Tremolo wakes up at the Thanksgiving party, comes out of the tent, and meets Jacob. Jacob asks, "Are you with us? With the Dicks?" MC replies, "Of course, 110%. To which he replies, "Just checking." As if to explain that Jacob doesn't doubt our loyalty to the brotherhood.

This question wouldn't make sense if he were a traitor.

Unless one traitor checks to see if another is a traitor.
I don't think there are any traitors among the Dicks (including Nick). It's just paranoia.

why blame the black guy

Now it seems to me that this moment was a biblical reference to Jacob's lack of trust in MC.

And there's also all the ways that image is massively more complex than earlier episodes. There are multiple light sources, detailed shadows, smoke effects, the characters in the back are just as detailed as the foreground etc.

Just go back to episode 1 and it's very flat single light source static renders where you can easily see the grain effect from the rendering being of a far lower quality for anything not in focus.

Yeah, though it really could benefit artistically from a shallower depth of field. Give me the Bokeh!

And silly walkabout scenes everyone hates. And so many mini games everyone hates (most of which are already made and being re-used).

Who's this everyone you speak of? I personally love the free roams and the mini games. They make Being A DIK so much more mechanically engaging than your average VN.

Sure, they're probably not the best if all you're here for is wank material, but keeping the gameplay from being exclusively "click through dialogue until it's time to make a choice" and giving you certain scenes where you can explore the world at your own pace is cool. I think it's a great way to do parties especially, since you can wander around and chat with people at your own discretion just like you would in real life. And they make good save checkpoints, to boot.

Besides, once you've played through it enough, you can just go to the gallery for spank bank material, and skip right to the parts you want for that!

It may seem in the earlier updates that jacob might be the traitor but after it showed that none of the diks are traitors just slightly stupid lol

Nick might have been actually searching the library for stuff that we do not know, Jacob is just looking out for his bros despite his hell week and he gets laid as a result.

The reason why I shit talk nick and not bringing him back is because he threw every dik under the bus when the thing was supposed to be he and tommy's deal.

If dating Bella, the secret is reveal to the frat and one small revelation can destroy her career. If not, he shit talks your contributions and neil's.

Some mini games are alright ex I could give a shit about English, Science, or S1/2 Math. I like Mansion Repair, Party Planning, & S3 Math. The phone games except Brawler can all go away.

At least the one thing about BaD is Free Roam is not over done, other AVN's this is a massive issue with

Honestly the only issue with English is in S1/2 requiring you to click the letters rather than type them.

After pushing it back for many years, I kinda want to give this game a try after all. I just wanted to know, is the game finished at this point or not? I ask because I see some people say they finished it multiple times to see different endings, others say they eagerly wait for the next patch, I'm a bit confused lol

No, it's not complete.

Currently on episode 11 out of an expected 14-16 episodes.

Expect completion sometime after 2030 probably.

The game is in development. There are currently 11 episodes out of approximately 14.
The wait for the game's ending is a very long one, likely sometime in 2030 or later.
Episode 12 won't be released for another year. So play it now.
The different endings lead to different paths for the girls.

just typing words is boring if it was like a crossword puzzle or word search or something more interesting you know I might feel different but yes S1/2 English is worse

Um... thats what a traitor would do actually... what you point at is actually one of the proofs. And theres a lot of things that Jacob does are shady and unsettling for me, for example i have Never trusted do gooders and the ones who are trying hard to clear their names, Jacob is moving like a snake and Hiding like a rat.. calling the Dik code, complementing the MC etc etc and so on. Oh and by the way who do you think sent the sex tape of mc fucking jade to Stephen? It's Jacob. Also his chat with the MC after the fight in the MC room is shady as fuck about zoey and other things (again clearing his name) after nick point that out in the fight that and among other things Jacob done in the past. Maybe you are right he is seeking revenge. maybe he's a Jock in disguse(thats a big maybe)
And why would they come to Derek ane ashley? Why not Derek and Jacob doing the village idiot?

I'm 80% or maybe 75% sure Jacob is the traitor...

The nerds are another thing to discuss actually... and i think Sally is the lead to them if we mange to get on her good side( i think sally is very important in this one) what does this have to do with Jacob ? Idk but im just thinking here...

Sorry if my language is not that good I'm actually Russian Lol. Cheers.

You couldn't be more wrong! Nick was cornered and he throws punches at everyone.. thats a normal reaction in my book, Honestly i will do the same, if a group cornered me i will fight back stronger.
If he spread the Bella relationship with the MC outside of the frat then here he can be a traitor, right now he is ok to me.
Jacob is the snake one dude. He came into the MC to drag him on his side because MC has the respect of Rusty and tommy too. A traitor would kiss the Leader ass not attack him and thats what Jacob is doing with the MC, because the MC is a leader in the frat.
