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

Any prediction what Episode 8 intro flashback will be about? You lot usually are pretty good at guessing those kind of thing

I have thought about something. Many characters do sports in BaD from EP7. Chad has js once said something that he will be at the competition.

On my last screenshot is a calendar that actually shows that the training starts EP7 and goes to EP10. After that it will probably come to one or more competitions. I think there will be 4 types of competitions. What if the winners of the competitions get a scholarship? Maybe that is the possibility for Maya?

Take a look at the screenshot. On the first one you can see the MC on the picture. He is riding the stag, with umbrella (scepter), charm and bowler hat (top hat). I see several symbols in it. MC defeats preps whether in tennis, martial arts or managment. He is probably a Burgermeister and he becomes El Präsidente of the DIK's. Derek, by the way, will be a bartender at the Halloween party and vice president of the DIK's.

But now there is a flyer on the calendar saying "Anymore Bright Ideas!". Now let's combine that with the second screenshot. The MC and/or Derek make the suggestion to the Alpha's and the Hot's to field a football team. Of course with the participation of the Dik's. That would probably make everyone happy. Especially Caleb, who looks like a football player anyway. The Hot's get into cheerleading and if they are good the sponsorship money flows in.

Sounds great to me. But DPC will probably do it differently.

I think that first we should figure out that whether the competition the Jocks are talking about, is a Jock-exclusive one or is it a Campus hosted competition.

A College conducts many sports competition. One thing to note is that a Campus Concert is coming soon, which Jill is preparing for. Now there is a high chance that after this Concert, next might be a sports competition. These things are a Fun part of college life. Sports-meet, Campus fest, etc.

Jocks are on a sports-scholarship. If they do well in the Sports competition, they will get benefits.

This would make more sense that the competition they talk about is hosted by the Campus.

------------------------------------------------

Now If it is a Jock-exclusive one, do they have it every year?

If yes then they wouldn't be so free and focused to conduct it every single year, Conducting a competition is no easy work and the competition they conduct won't be on a big scale for sure. We know Jocks personality. None of them are smart except for Big A.

I believe that the competition is Hosted by the Campus.

As for the Prep part, I believe...that Chess is a sport that Rich Families love to play. I know golf and other stuff, But chess...It is played a lot in Rich families. Preps could have a chess competition as well.

Campus Concert + Free-Roam events

This is my theory. First, there is not going to be 1 flashback, like in ep5 or ep 7, but its going to start with multiple flashbacks like ep3, 4 and 6. Yet this is just a guess.
Secondly, i think the most probable is an insight in Chad past, either focus on his reasons to stay on the closet or in his relationship with Sage, or both. Yet when i say most probable i mean something like a 10% chance while other options has even less than that. That means chances are not really high. The other options are related to the characters that could be focused in the next episode and thatslike the Rusty, Tommy flashback of episode 5. While they weren't exactly the focused, for being secondary characters they had quite importance in that episode. Thats why is hard to know, couse we dont know wich character will be explore in the next episode, could be any off them.

Late to the party but I'm just done with my playthrough of episode 7, and I'm floored at the quality of writing. Like it is absolutely astonishing to me that this entire game is being written, designed, rendered and programmed by one guy, it's crazy to me that someone is so good at all those very different skills. DPC, a single random dude who started doing this as a hobby, writes a story that is both funnier and more emotional than the huge blockbuster sitcoms and college movies written and directed by teams of experienced professionals and produced with million dollar budgets. It never goes into melodrama, it's very rarely crass without being self-aware about it (the only thing that annoys me is the constant feminism=fat blue haired bitch jokes), it manages to be more moving than most light-hearted stuff on Netflix. Meanwhile the production value is also off the charts and it never feels cheap at any point, not even a single frame looks out of place or lazily done. It's just incredible.

I'm poor as fuck now, but once I'm done with my studies and this game is (hopefully) done, I'm paying for this game so hard, just out of pure appreciation for what this man is making. By far the highest quality game on here imo.

I think there will be several competitions and not just Alpha exclusive. According to my estimation there will be 5 competitions. I think of Sage with her (3 out of 5) cardio statement. Martial Arts will be decided by the MC. In a strength competition it will be a neck and neck race between Caleb and the MC. Then there will be a dance competition. There are just signs of it. Posters, Anthony's Cluck and the following answer from the MC, a book by Elvis with his hip swing on the cover. There will also be a knowledge test and maybe an art test.

At the end it will form the Jill concert in Accompaniment of the MC the crowning conclusion.

For me its gonna be about Bella or Sage past.

I finally hope to see the past of the MC of the last 6 months. My guess is that the MC has been to college before and something happened to him. I come to it because in EP7 a picture of the MC hangs in Derek's room, which Jacob has apparently painted. But when is the question?

And also, choosing between Maya/Josy and Sage is next to impossible and now that I think of it, none of those relationships look like they would work out long-term to me.

M&J are cute and MC dynamic with them is really beautiful, but it seems like they're just constantly on the verge of breaking up, always wanting different things, often pissed at each other and not understanding each other. MC is basically the glue keeping them together in that relationship. And if they do break up, it seems to me that they would both prefer staying single than remaining with MC.

Meanwhile Sage is a genuinely amazing girl, but she feels like best friend material instead of girlfriend material. MC gets on with her the best out of all female characters for sure imo. I could see them "rolling together", as Lily would say, for like 10 years, until they realise they're perfect fits for each other and get married lol. In fact that's what I want to see as a sequel to BAD, just MC and his best friend Sage discovering their true feelings after years of friendship.

I'm rambling but man do so many characters in this game have fucking depth.

P.S. That ending was fucking amazing, and shoutout to my man Chad, he's legit a good guy and hope he makes peace with his inner demons and accepts himself.

Is all

dalli_x be like:

"I've been pondering on this in my sleep then I came to the realization what if Lynette isn't actually the MC's Mother, Lynette was in fact the MC's older sister and MC was Jill's sister's son but had to give her up for adoption to her best friend Lynette who in fact happened to be Burgmeister... However here's the catch she was actually a Royce all along the illegitimate child of the family but who is the MC's real father you may ask? It's actually Steven making the MC Tybalt and Sage's half brother. So yes Lynette was pretending to be MC's Sister while also playing the role of his mother all along, this means Jade is also in fact the MC's step mom"

 

[Decent-Win]

So apparently I'm the first person to do this, how true is this?
also do the other minigames have Trophies too?

Well... it's true within the world of the game. Not by some metric DPC is keeping tabs on. And no, you only get a trophy for your desk from tiles (as of now)

I hope it's gonna be Bella's story but I am afraid it's gonna be Chad's story. You never know with this author.

really hard to make predictions

the fourth chapter opened with a flashback on Maya and Josy, which in fact had closed the third one

the fifth with the birth of DIKs, and the fourth more or less closed with the investiture ceremony for Derek and MC

the sixth with the story of Quinn, in the fifth it is not that it had closed on her.

the seventh with the story of Lana, when Jill had been important, but not so present in the finale of the sixth chapter.


now the seventh chapter has touched so many topics, the ending alone would be enough to open so many flashbacks (Chad and his homosexuality, Bella and her marriage, Sage and her problems to express her feelings, Maya and her debt, I know that DPC will talk about it again)

my favorite would be getting some clues about Bella's wedding, which is a mystery with boobs

to Me, something about Chad, seem to be the most logical one. ep 7. ending reminded me ep 3. ending. both had a similar MC inner monolog, that end up with a WTF moment for him.
I don't know how to explain, but its feels that, this has the most sense for me. I think the Chad sage, thing will be solved, just like the Josy maya thing was solved in ep4, and something else will happen that lead up to ep 8.

 

[Warscared]

It's technically the third rejection of her if you count thanking her for the dance at the DIK party instead of kissing her as the first time. I got this scene in my first playthrough.


Does that come back around as an option later in the game (I only have the Steam version not the Patreon one)? In both of my main playthoughs, I didn't have enough dik points to pick that option in the Dungeons & Gremlins scene. I've heard there's another D&G scene later on, but I don't know the details of it.

I'm actually wondering if you can finish this game without having had sexual relations with anyone (dream sequences not counting). In my first playthrough, I think I kept shooting myself in the foot. I had the MC scarper from the sorority house as fast as humanly possible after Quinn found him (although I had Chick status so don't think he would've got the Camila scene anyway). He turned down Quinn's restaurant offer so didn't have any scenes with the HOTs she was pimping out. Technically there was the grinding Maya did on him, but as he got tazered before anything else happened I'm not counting that either. I deliberately had him lose the cumpetition so Quinn never got her way with him. He danced with Sage at the DIK party, then left without kissing her. Didn't kiss Maya before going home at the weekend. I picked 'Not Like This' when he went to see Josy. Told Sage she didn't have to pay him back for getting the video of Chad's phone call. Didn't try to kiss Isabella when she gave him a lift back to college. Didn't take it further during Sage's first guitar lesson. Removed his hand during the bed scene with Jill after being knocked out by Chad. Didn't offer to help Maya with her scavenger hunt. Did nothing with Jade at the lunch table. Told Sage he was just giving her guitar lessons (which is when the screenshot AchedCroissant posted happened). Let Derek do the DIK stuff at the Pink Rose. He gave Mona the underwear, but didn't have a high enough dik score to get the scene in the toilet block with her and Camila. He stopped Jade when she tried her little foot trick during gender studies.

By the end of episode three with the Maya/Josy reveal, the relationship tracker was saying that Sage had lost any and all interest in the MC and she was greyed-out when the choice of three came up after he leaves the dorm, so he ended up at Isabella's. However he didn't use the sunblock or splash her in the pool, thus nothing happened there. Also he didn't send Cathy the dick pic on Swyper, so she cut off communication. Now the main reason for refusing all these things up to this point was that I intended on him trying to court Jill on my first playthrough and she seemed like she wouldn't appreciate the MC being a man-whore. So up comes the first date with Jill at the tennis court. Okay, now I can get somewhere I thought. Only by being the gentleman and letting her shower first and not snogging her right away, the MC came away from the date musing that he wasn't that interested in Jill. I was going for slow and steady. I didn't think I needed him to shove his tongue down her throat on the first date to keep that path moving, but apparently I did need to, so it looks like that path's closing off, if not closed already. There's no more contact with Sage after refusing her at the second guitar lesson, so her path's gone. He turned down Jade and messed up with Cathy, so they're gone. He doesn't even register on any of the HOTs radar. And at the DIK party where the laptop is stolen, because he hasn't done anything with Maya and Josy up to now, they're not interested in anything more, so they part as just friends. He also doesn't smoke the weed, so nothing happens with Quinn, although I'm assuming the lack of dik points would have scuppered anything there anyway.

So tell me, how screwed is that first playthrough? I've still got the save for it, but at this point it feels like the only reason to continue would be as an experiment, to see if I could finish it without triggering any sex scenes at all. Unless that is the next few episodes give you the chance to turn things around? For most of that run, the MC's status was hovering between Huge Chick and Massive Chick and I'm thinking that didn't overly help either. Felt like being on the Chick side of the bar would be more beneficial when going after Jill, but maybe he was too chick?

Is there any word on when season two will hit Steam?

dude it was a joke! like the image of the MC feet dangling when you score 0 in every test and can not get laid and Derek beats you on the hell week!

we call it the looser run that weirdly many people have done in RL...

so yes technically you can finish the game by ep.6 and not having sex with any girl by comiting suicide! if you are not having fun and scoring with girls and getting decent grades that`s your best option... the dangling feet!

Whats the name of that girl? She has nice tits.

dude once in Paris i told my girlfriend that Joke and it never ends well "look honey, that fat american as bigger tits then you!"

It sounds sexist. I don't think females can write a good story like Being a DIK

there would be even more meaningless drama but the sex/seduction/erotic part would be worse written!

one of the things i noticed in Inter wined is that the sex scenes are clearly told from a female more sensitive perspective instead of a male senses arousal form! its another great story but the approach truly shows a different approach/point of view!

women aproach sex in a more pragmatic way men in a more frontal but do pay attention... you can detect a female or a male from their writing alone 80% of the times but not always! just like man have a more primal way to approach the world and females can notice far more colors then men the little differences create a very different world view!

There are people who just don't understand the difference between adult content and pornography.

what is that pornography that you speak off? it seems interesting and i am trying to find an alternative to my human reproduction documentaries!

I never heard a story of a couple visiting Paris who dint end in a fight.
I heard the jooke aat first as a quote from Woody Allen (with the internet u never knnow if the quoting is right):
"I will never watch a movie in wich the breasts of the male actor are bigers than thoose of the female actress"

may be. in the end the most likely are Chad or Bella.

i have many doubts because MC's story with Sage seems to me to be in a moment of confusion rather than consolidation, practically it started all over again with the rebound guy story, or even worse if MC accepted Sage's court, and then most of all Mc could have no interest in Sage at this moment of the story and could have rejected her twice... so if the season finale was about them it would risk to be very out of focus (but actually the same could happen with the fourth chapter...)

the flashback on Chad I think should focus on the moment when Chad stopped even "trying" to be with Sage, the moment when he decided that it wasn't worth living that lie (probably the beginning of his story with Troy)

we'll see, I'm not a big fan of flashbacks, Quinn's and Diks' flashbacks were the ones that told the most.

Chad will realize he doesn't like weewee in his bumbum and will come back to Sage in chapter 8 they will run away together to LA . Sage will dump him and get together with Zoey and Lynette . Chad will jump in to the ocean crying Troy's name as he's drowning ....
