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

[ename144]

What's everyone's general thoughts on what MC's Dad has to tell him about his Mother?

There's just not enough data for meaningful speculation at this point. We know it concerns the MC's mother, it must have been sent by someone, and the MC's dad was willing to tell the MC about it (rather than destroy it, or alternatively to just read it over the phone).

There are very few theories that are outright excluded by that, so it's mostly just idle speculation at this point. The most common guesses seem to be a) it's some kind of conditional inheritance, b) the MC's maternal family want to meet him now for some reason, or c) the MC's mom didn't really die (either Neil lied or she faked her death).

Personally, I generally subscribe to the first theory and consider the third ridiculous. But all's fair until we get some actual clues to ponder.

DrPinkCake, if it's not a problem, can you say how is game selling on Steam ? I've bought it recently, seen lots of reviews, so I was wondering if sales are really through the roof, or the community is just very enthusiastic (also a good thing) ?

Well currently Steam has it as a top seller in the adult games categories, I think at #1, but that's in part because it's on sale currently. Still, it's no small feat for DrPinkCake to beat out a whole slew of other erotic VN, including the enormous amount of the ever popular weeb games. Speaks to the huge success (including financial) of BaDIK.

Still can't get the scene with Camila i think my game broke

It's not that he has to tell the MC anything, it's that a letter has arrived for him and it concerns his mother.

My thoughts have always been that she was a Burgmeister.

If not that specifically, possibly a more general Deus Ex Machina where MC gets contacted by a rich someone from his mother's side of the family and MC get a huge inheritance or something. Though this is a massive cliche that's in a few other VN, and I would hope DrPinkCake would be above writing such a cop out lol

Nothing else on Steam can really compare to this VN. I'm not surprised it's at #1.

I was kind of hoping that he was just like his dad. Poor and from an "ordinary" background. If the letter tells him he is inheriting massive amounts of money that would just make him a VN cliché of a rich young guy with a massive pole. Booooooooring. So I hope the letter says something different or if there is some money coming his way it would be just enough for him to make a decision between helping his dad or pay for his tuition or help Maya. I would rather he finishes Uni and works his way to help his dad rather than just being another "lucky" boy.

it is a certainty that his mother's family was rich, and surely the letter has something to do with that.

I also hope it does not change the social status of MC, in my opinion it would distort his character who for now is a hero for what he does and says, not for what he gives and spends

it will probably lead to some tension with his father anyway (either because of something he hasn't told him or the attraction the new family may have on him).

I believe that basically the letter will create a dilemma for MC, between accepting the advantages of the new family but at the cost of changing their life (changing college? changing fraternity? getting away from father?)

I still don't see what it would be like if MC found out he was a Burgmeister and not a Bezos or whatever. but it can be, and it would make the BADIK world more cohesive but smaller.

By the way is next update coming soon ?

 

[TastyEmpire]

Thanks for the game!

Why is the game warning me that is going to make me angry? Is the story that depressing?

for now I would say no.

there is a moment emotionally strong enough, but it "ends well".

however, even unpleasant twists are not excluded

 

[issue28]

Hmm.... i am a bit weary. I heard Acting Lesson is quite depressing. I don't like depressing games. That's why i didn't like Good girl gone bad or Seeds of Chaos.

*no offense *

since some people complain about how searching the keyword "Status Update" doesn't give the appropriate results
here use this: https://f95zone.to/search/80825528/?q=Have+a+nice+weekend+Dr+PinkCake&c[users]=N7,+Sorrow85,+Rykuto&o=date

i searched for the term "Have a nice weekend Dr PinkCake" from users N7 , Sorrow85 & Rykuto (sorted by date) as DPC always finishes his "update" post with this.
it works well (for me at least)

edit: quoted the wrong post bruh

for now we're not at the level of AL at all, and it should be a fundamentally different game.

there are situations that could have dramatic / negative consequences, but for now nothing to report

 

[issue28]

Usually I like feel good games like Harem Hotel or Mythic Manor. Also VWM is one of those. Not big fan of depressing drama or NTR . Of course that's just me, no problem with those who like it.

Really hope to see more gloryhole scenes in the next season as I'm really into that sort of thing or the prostitution stuff in general. The way it's handled here is better than any game I've played.

This is funny and light hearted for the most part. Think American Pie type humor.
I mean the part with Derek and a toothbrush...ugh cannot.go.there.

Still think we won't get anything until ep 7. It makes a great cliffhanger to end ep 6 before we find out anything.

If not that specifically, possibly a more general Deus Ex Machina where MC gets contacted by a rich someone from his mother's side of the family and MC get a huge inheritance or something. Though this is a massive cliche that's in a few other VN, and I would hope DrPinkCake would be above writing such a cop out lol

There's been quite a few discussions on this before and I've always said that I don't see it as being "cliché". Yes, a lot of MCs in games seem to have an unlimited money tree that comes from somewhere, but it would actually be a significant development for this character and this story and it could affect his relationship with certain characters in an interesting way, like Quinn, Tommy, Rusty, Maya, Jill, and Sage.

There's great potential here to explore the MC's personality if given such wealth and what kind of value they place on it, because they seem like someone who could just as easily refuse it rather than take it and seeing how they navigate this kind of decision would be intruiging to see play out.
