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

[FookU2]

Dude 1 USD in our currency is also through the roof

Ah..yes..the endless cycle. Wages go up cause people beg for more cause they need more cause cost went up. So..cost goes up cause greedy corporations have to pay the employees more. So we're back where we started..except the value of the dollar is now worth less. Pennies cost more to make than they are worth. Nickels aren't far behind that.

Just a curious thought
with Quinn involved in a lot of shady stuff so will it bring murder and other serious criminal stuff in the story
or the story will remain college story centered

We don't know for sure, but I can say that it's not something anybody wants and we'd all certainly hope DPC will not go down this road again.

this situation will bring trouble, but I don't think anything extreme. I hope that at most the life of some character, perhaps an LI is in danger

 

[Jimayo]

Agree and I would also add: Intertwined, Reunion, Glimpses of the Past, Where the Heart is, Where it all Began and Leap of Faith. All amazing and with great potential.
BaDiK will always be my favorite though

Well, if we're listing all of the ones we find have engrossing stories:

Babysitter, Lancaster Boarding House, Life with Mary, Melody, My Sister, My Roommate, Parental Love, Alexandra, Avalon, Become a Rock Star, Being a DIK(obviously), Bad Memories, City of Broken Dreamers, Connected, Defending Lydia Collier, Denos City, Glimpses of the Past, Hacker's Restart, Haley's Story, Halfway House, Hillside, Hypnosis, Intertwined, Killer Project, Knockout Master, Last Call, Leap of Faith, Lexi(I really hope that one comes out of development hell and doesn't end up abandoned), Life Happened, Lunar's Chosen, My New Family(in spite of the fact that it's just super happy fun time, it's cute), Now and Then, Once in a Lifetime, Picture Perfect, Private Cases, Retrieving the Past, Single Again, Secret Summer, Summer's Gone, Tales from the Unending Void, The Deluca Family(obviously), The Author: Something to Write About, The Intoxicating Flavor, The Redburns and WVM.

No. I don’t think people will automatically support it. Some people probably don’t think about it. They come here either to get the game or to get answers. If someone suggests they pay for it they might think ‘you know what, I love this game I will.’ They might think ’Fuck that!’ Frankly I think this site is a driver of people to his Patreon, i’d imagine that’s one of the reasons he doesn’t spend time every day getting the links blocked.

As for your other points “I don’t like to pay for things“ Well, welcome to the world we live in. No argument for the Devs track record in this instance (though I haven’t supported MILFY City for this reason). Not liking the Patreon model is a weird position, especially if it is funding content you want. Let’s not forget you don’t have to subscribe long term. A one off payment can get you the game. Not liking Patreon is fine. Buy it on Steam.

You can justify and moralise you’re decision not to buy the game for whatever reason you like. It’s your choice. I think everyone who get’s the game through piracy, then finds they enjoy it, should make an effort to support the dev. I do, and encourage others to do so as well.

You 're overanalyzing examples and I never said this site doesn't help with promotion (quite the opposite). I'm saying nobody needs moralistic bullshit for that to happen. A user likes playing BADIK, feels like supporting financially, follows the link and it's done. And I'm pretty sure this and a bunch of other similar sites do exist in the world we live in unless I'm interacting with someone from another dimension right now. Welcome to the internet.

Buying a finished product on a platform like Steam is a fair transaction and I wish wegs were like that but you know that the games that end up there, and are finished (not early access bullshit), are the exception. Patreon milking is much more profitable than an one time transaction and for every BADIK that delivers a good amount of quantity and quality, there are a dozen milkers. Delivering a pitiful amount of content and just banking on hooking people who'd pay for everything as long as it involves their favorite niche fetish in the tags.

So yes, people might like a game and still dislike the platform and the behavior it enables. Not to mention the company's extreme censorship habits but that would be going way off-topic.

What do you mean. Everyone knows that the release date is today.

Yep, just finished the ep. 6 download. You guys won't believe the opening scene in Bella's locked room!

 

[lolitsukasa]

I bought the game via steam and love it so much.. Wish i can have a student life like this but never happen to me..

Wish can support patreon but it way too expensive..

If only Steam had updates as the same time as Patreon...

 

[ename144]

Unless this is him calling them on the Sunday right after getting the jacket and either he asks to stay with them because he still needs somewhere to sleep, or they invite him over to see the jacket and he ends up spending the night. This would, of course, very likely be for just the the M&J path and the non-M&J path would have something different.

In that case I would assume they'd do a video call, as they did in Episode 5; hard to see the jacket otherwise. My guess is this is just the MC checking in on them. It could be to set up the movie night we know is happening in some form or other.

There are so many things I'm hoping we can finally get into now that the MC has a chance to settle into a proper routine. I am alternately so excited and anxious! And we're still a week away.

Don't fret, mate! I obviously can't be sure what percentage of folks in this thread actually bought the game, but i'm inclined to think that your purchase via Steam already puts you in the upper third regarding any kind of support towards DPC. (not that there is anything wrong with not paying for it, gotta remember what site we are on after all )

And yeah...don't we all wish we could've had at least some part of our MC's college experience? Although i'm pretty sure that shit not being nearly as wild where i went to college probably turned out to be good thing for me... .

 

[Arigon]

Thing about this AVN is, that it is in a very over used trope. Yeah I have said folks should support, but I am also very vocal that BaDIK is over rated. I have supported with cash, and will continue to do so. I love the renders and animations. Story, not so much. MC definitely not so much. But hey we all have what we like.
My college was very wild, but definitely not like the walking gland.

I don't know. I appreciate some games more than other, as you would call it, I overrate them because there's not big enough market for wester visual novels. And I'm talking about proper, professional visual novels. Maybe I'm being a little fussy about it but hey, can't do anything with my weird tastes.

oh I think I agree with you. However, the ICSTOR type, the WVM /college with Harem, the BaDIK/ college with out harem, The Gift Reloaded, types all are over done, and just variations on the same overdone bullshit.

Heavy Five, City of Broken Dreams, Life Happened, Leap of Faith, Becoming a Rockstar, and borrowing from the above over done types (but much better setting and story), you have Timestamps and Sisterly Lust.
