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

[SAMASH112]

I really hope DPC knows what he's doing by saying on 2500 patrons he's gonna quit his other job and take games development as his main job, i mean i do want him to always work on this game and other games when he finishes this one but i don't want him to put himself in a position where the money he's gaining isn't enough for his uses and daily purchases, i know that he pretty much counted all the things he's gonna be spending his money on cuz no one would take such big decision without thinking about everything so maybe he still counted the money he's gonna get even if all new patrons were all 1 dollar pledgers.

It would be a great decision if it goes well

 

[Mormont]

Maybe you're right, I don't know. I'm not crazy, and I hope you don't think bad of me, but I have to confess that I took an emotional blow in Acting Lessons , so I guess the questions are for that reason, or similar.

It wasn't as much the house fire that bothered me although the urge to put my fist through the screen was strong, it was the cancer storyline that was the most gut-wrenching.

every time I drop off and came back here I got lost, damm

Yeah, they were hard scenes. The inevitable deaths, the best friend with cancer and dying... I had never felt this way with a story. The only end that was worth it and I saw real happiness was Melissa's. If you have seen it, you will know what I am talking about. The others were fine, but they didn't reach my heart so much.

That's why I said the similarities in previous messages. Everything indicates that we will live a new tragic episode.

But wasn't that curable if the player made the right choices. I really don't know, since I never played the last two releases. But I did view the images, and Liam sure looked cured in a lot of them.

I can handle that kind of dark ending, if I can avoid it by my choices, without throwing someone else under the bus.

Yeah, it was but just the whole storyline of him having cancer was pretty rough and the women he was getting treatment with having that joke with her when she messes with us and an update or two later we get word that she died.

For me, that stuff is harder to take because you know someone that has been affected by it dark endings are fine I can handle that just when it's Illnesses and such it's hard to take in.

 

[GothGirl]

I've played this game since version 0.2 and I must say that I absolutely fucking love it! Story is well written, of course in porn games standard, models are great and animation just magnificient. So hot! I enjoy every minute spending in this game and I can't imagine how can You make this game so funny. I don't laugh so much in real life and I immediately start to laugh with so many jokes around here. Derek and his "Here goes daddy" killed me. Also I am very intrigued with "shocking revelation" (actually it kinda suprised me) about Maya/Josy relationship. I wonder if romance between Sid (my MC) and these girls is going to be continued or is it just a way to focus on other characters. Congratulations on such a good game!

That's why at the beginning of the game you are asked if you are in a dark period of your life.
Seeing how many episodes Acting Lessons had and how this story is unfolding, I would expect a similar drama. If not, it would not make sense, since it would not lead to a personality questionnaire just before playing.

Considering the cancer and depression that the characters on AL have gone through, it is safe to say that DPC's stories can hit really close to home with those realistic scenarios.

DPC already stated that BADIK won't turn into a thriller, so I doubt there will be character's deaths. At least not from the main ones. But I can see drugs issues and depression again. Particularly, I have gotten into a depression period and I got those vibes from Bella. Drugs and depression are realistic issues that can also hit players who have experienced them, hence the warning at the beggining.

Yeah, it's very realistic, especially as you say, if you have lived a similar experience.

for the sake of making the story realistic the games is in need of death maybe not for the main ones as you state but rather the secondary ones....i mean we dealing with drugs and prostitution....so we can easily expect something could go wrong with this ...it could even result of the redemption of some characters as well

 

[Blablablafapper]

DPC's patreon showed a very strong uptick gaining approx 400 patrons in just 10 days making this "conspiracy theory" somewhat plausible. Theoretically, one can make as many Patreon a/c as one has emails.

You must be registered to see the links

Or it could just be eager fans wanting to support him even more. What happens a couple of months after he reaches 2,500 (and reach it, he surely will) should give an accurate picture. My guess is that the numbers will stabilize.

Best of luck to DPC.

It all started after he released AL on Steam I believe so I think that's the primary reason for the sudden gain in Patrons.

i don't know, i have plenty of save game being a dik punch troy and ignore chad, and being a chick choose to defend chad and be a good guy.

I tried to be nice to Troy, but the dick stole my guitar (after listening to it, even) and threw me out of my own room. He got his ass beat, that don't fly with me. I did feel a little bad for him afterwards, because looking at his face(post-beating) it looks like he's just barely holding his shit together and he's lashing out at people because of his anger/depression. I also asked the dean to not be too harsh with Chad. Yeah, we've got our differences, but considering I've put him and all his friends on their asses (until they ganged-up or blindsided MC) I kinda felt like he already got his due comeuppance.

It wasn't as much the house fire that bothered me although the urge to put my fist through the screen was strong, it was the cancer storyline that was the most gut-wrenching.

The only reason the fire really bothered me was because you could only choose to save Melissa if you were banging her. I'd have chosen her either way, because she was the one who most felt like she needed the protecting/saving. In an emergency, that's what I try to do: help the weakest first.

For me, that stuff is harder to take because you know someone that has been affected by it dark endings are fine I can handle that just when it's Illnesses and such it's hard to take in.

I think that's part of what I really enjoyed about it. I'm currently on round 2 with cancer (and yes, it sucks), so seeing how Liam was coping seemed easy to relate to. DPC put together a decent story. I still think MC should have punched him square in the face for hiding his illness, but I get that it's a very traumatic bit of news, so we all react differently. I had to have my doctor tell my roommate, because my brain was shorting out and I got a bad case of the giggles, couldn't even bring it up for the first few days. Without the support of some close friends I would have completely lost my mind.

 

[Mareares]

I expect a tragedy or something similar. I see it coming. In fact, at the end of chapter 3, we have to choose a path again, how in Acting Lesson... what traumatic experience will history bring us? I'm afraid to finish as in Acting Lessons

I hope if you are a massive chick the game doesn´t punish you, if you are a good person you shouldn´t be punished

 

[Killer94]

for the THOUSANDS of MILLIONS of TRILLIONS of TIMES chick and dick were just put there for the sake of the girls nothing to with getting punished because you chose this or that path
true being on a dick path will resolve the game choosing automatically, later on, the dickest choice
and the same thing for the chick part
aside from that, the MC does not need to be punished because he chose this or that path unless u meant not ending up with this or that girl ...that's another debate

I don't want you to feel uncomfortable telling you this through a forum, but I have lived this closely until recently and I know that in these cases it's difficult to choose the appropriate words. Tell you that I wish you the best. From here you've all my support. Courage!

Yeah, I wasn't too pleased about the auto-dickery towards cafeteria girl at the party. That felt like a punishment.

 

[SAMASH112]

That's why I usually choose CHIK options, they are more similar to my way of thinking and I think that I can avoid problems in future chapters, Chad and Troy, for example.

Appreciate it, but like Liam, I've come to terms with it. I've got another surgery scheduled next month. Hopefully that is the end of it, because I'm not doing chemo. I've made my peace with things. I'm "lucky", in that it's non-lymphatic, so my whole body isn't being ravaged, just the renal system.

.. sure would be a bummer not to see more of BaDIK, though, so I've got something else to stick around for.

I hope everything goes well for you, and you know, with strength and courage, never forget it. And please, if you don't mind, keep us informed. I will be very happy to know that everything went well for you!
