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

[Cigar-Ferras]

At the party of chapter 5 you have sex with Riona if you pay her and she confesses that she has never had an orgasm when having sex and the MC tells her if he had known that he would have given more effort later he tells her that if they would have sex again and she accepts

So if you're on a Chick run, you just offer her money, no strings attached but it's sex with her if you've used the "Restaurant". Is that correct or have i missed something?

 

[Holy Bacchus]

that mean there's gonna be a new app on the game.

Maybe a shopping app to buy things for the MC or LIs, or things to help repair the DIK mansion. Perhaps a banking app for the MC to decide what to do with all that $$$$$$$$ he's going to get from his rich family.

Could maybe even be something to monitor suspicion/jealousy in relationships or something related to the Major Choice/Affinity bar issue seeing as how you can pretty much eliminate one side of the affinity bar already and we're only 5 episodes in to a potentially 16 episode game.

My 2-cents. Dr.PinkCake should learn to delegates some of these coding tasks and hire a dedicated coder for these technical features. I know from an interview he wants to keep an iron grip on the project but he can keep the complete creative control and just delegates coding tasks. He have the budget but I think it's someone who hate work in team, maybe finding someone as dedicated as him can be difficult and working with a clumsy dead weight can be worst for the project.

She tells you that she needs the money or rather Quinn needs it, you can give her everything you have or nothing and she then tells you if you want to have sex with her and gives you the option to accept or simply leave her the money and leave. I already accepted the Quinn restaurant, I imagine that if you don't accept that offer, that shouldn't happen

Yeah i didn't get that the first time through. Second play i slipped from neutral back into chick. I'll get it right at some point. I do really like Riona as well, very sweet which isn't exactly what you'd think from her appearance.

Yes, despite everything Riona is one of my favorite chars (excluding the main LIs ofc) so far

You unlock the sex proposition if you have bought her service from the restaurant (ep1 or 2), talked with her about Cathy Cluck and kissed her during Dik's party (ep4) and finally gave her money. The affinity isn't relevant.

I don't think i've even found all the side characters you can mess around with yet. Most, but not all. I think?

Quinn, Riona, Camila, Mona, Sarah, Melanie, Jade, Cathy, Lily, Rose, Envy, Ashley (just licking).

An RP counter would be a very welcome addition too.

I believe they had a way to check RP before but they took it out because they didn't want people RP farming.

So far, in Season 1 of Being a DIK, the Relationship Points (RP) haven't played any role unlocking certain paths or closing others (only DIK/CHICK status), will they become more relevant in the near future (Season 2 or Season 3 if planned)

I removed the visibility of the RP because I saw players playing the game to get as high of a score as possible with the girls. It became a hunt for stats and that was a big warning sign, since that's not at all what I wanted this game to be.

I want the game to be about choices and how a sum of choices, as well as key choices, can come together and affect the journey. The best example of this so far is in episode 3 where Isabella evaluates you and for the moment makes up her mind about you as a person. It wasn't a single choice that caused her to say that you're good or bad for Jill, it was a sum of your actions, where some of your choices mattered more than others.

The RP in the game so far have been used two times, during the visit to The Pink Rose in episode 3, where the RP with the DIKs alter Tommy's response and also in episode 3 how Maya's lewd scene is extended if she likes you.

I use and will use the RP to customize and give flavor to the journey and these points may be used in bigger forks along the road, but overall it's your personality and actions that will matter the most in the game. That's why I recommend everyone to have a main save where they follow their heart in their choices and don't get hung up on score hunting. Getting 100% RP with a girl may not matter depending on your other choices.

But honestly, it won't matter. Limiting factor for faster releases is rendering time, and that wouldn't change because he has his computer rendering 24/7 anyway.
I wouldn't do that, either.

DPC is absolutely right, playing "blind" definitely improves the gaming experience. but not putting an automatic display of RPs does not solve the problem.

moreover, the longer the game, the less desire there is to replay it, and BADIK will be a long game

 

[lemonfreak]

Imagine have sex Heather and Josy I don't wanna piss off Tommy iff him know that

Whereas I would quite happily KO the cunt then fuck both Josy and Heather on top of his unconscious body

Different strokes I guess

It will be interesting to see, when this game is complete, exactly what the requirements are for certain endings and specifially where they are, because there won't be too many people pleased if they miss out on their desired endgame relationship because they missed one thing in ep 3 and therefore have to go all the way back to replay it.

this is one of the main reasons i play with a walkthrough mod

why?

it seems inevitable to me

if a game is 20 hours long, you must have 20 hours available to replay it, if it is 40 hours it will take 40 available

is it easier to have 20 or 40 hours available?

 

[ChipLecsap]

essentially you are cheating, because you want everything all in once. and this poor guy DPC , try to do multiple paths for a variety, little did he know, how many of you don't care about it.

The rendering process is just time consuming.
It's the creative side of all this is what keeps him up at night. Posing the models, arranging the scenes, animating. And of course, writing, both game code, dialogues and whatever else. These are the main culprits for burnouts.

I've spent the last three weeks flirting with the cute young thing we hired as a security guard at work, sure would be awesome to know what my RP is so I know how much further I have to go to get her in bed.

yeah easier to play a short game, but it not gonna make it more desirable. I get it, I get it , cheap short , quickly to the fap material is easier. for you.
