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

[Oliver Wendell Homely]

PhillyGames' games are typical Film Noir (Depraved Awakening 100%, CoBD 70% Film Noir/30% Cyber Punk - Blade Runner style). It's all about the mc and the story. The girls are just "Dames" who are either there to service the mc, or they are crucial to the plot.

That's the difference with BaDIK, there's virtually no real plot, just a bunch of characters slowly being fleshed out throughout the mc's college experience. Sure the girls also service the mc, and some are entwined in the "plot", but their existence seems more natural and it feels like they have lives outside the mc's bubble.

Both developers do a great job at what they do, but BaDIK takes the cake for me regarding connecting to the characters.

PhillyGames is technically very good, arguably the best with DAZ and Renpy. In terms of story and gameplay, though, I also find DPC and other developers better. I definitely enjoy the characters more in BaDIK. I think one reason for this is that in Broken Dreamers, the MC has a history with most of the characters, whereas in BaDIK we meet most of the characters at the same time the MC does. The latter approach makes it easier for players to get to know people because we have conversations to learn about them, just like in real life. When there is already a long-established relationship, you need more exposition and other narrative tricks to learn about those characters, which is almost never as satisfying.

spanish tranlation link doesn't work

 

[godkingxerxes]

Oh boys, Maya and Josy preview, how exciting.

 

[PashafromRussia]

Apparently, we will not see this preview. At least describe what's there if you don't want to lose your subscription.

 

[Marley300]

I guess today DPC will drop a preview...

Someday you'll guess, bro

And Today You Were Right ‘Ray’ Congrats

Is there a hero in this forum? We will all be eternally grateful

No, the developer bans everyone who leaks the preview. So I'm hoping for a verbal description.

Oh Right… (Thank you for your service SomboSteel !) Well, better than nothing I guess…
But still 2 Maya & Josy previews and 0 Bella previews!?!?!?
DPC is really driving the Bella fans crazy.

Agree 100% on the old relationship vs new relationship. I can't think of any game where an established relationship is a big plus.

did you thank SomboSteel in your prayers every night for bringing you to knowledge?

Don't complain now

apart from the independent life (beyond their role with MC) of LIs I agree

 

[Lostanddamned]

or, just like Maya in the seventh, she will have a considerably low minute count in the chapter

DPC better have insurance on that house of his, because if what you said happens there will be nothing left of it after I bomb it with Coinzell's WW2 Soviet tank.

 

[EfontMan]

You'll have to line up behind the Jill fans after they get blue-balled again.

Probably something important is gonna happen with her in episode 8, last episode had 12 previews so there is still time for a Bella´s preview.

 

[Marley300]

Yes, of course, I did ! Every day and every night ! SomboSteel is a real Dik Brother unlike you
I just saw ‘Maya & Josy previews’ I got way too excited that I forgot about the whole situation…
I’m not going to complain we’ve got so much here for free, the party had to end someday....

Coinzell is a fair man. whatever he does will be deserved

little space does not mean no space at all, and Bella doesn't normally have that much space.

 

[GingerSweetGirl]

I still don't like that scene.

Sage the beggar... first for two years with Chad now for a couple of months with MC....

Damn, girls, have some pride.

Hey now, sometimes you just get really damn thirsty. We've all been there.

 

[felicemastronzo]

Hey now, sometimes you just get really damn thirsty. We've all been there.

if you're thirsty for two years or more, fortunately you usually die...
and if you're waiting in front of a busy fountain, it's only fair.

but then in what world does Sage ask for a second chance? BADIK is uneducational

Let’s hope so, Bro! Ending the episode 8 previews with Bella would be the smartest way to go.
And there's definitely something important that going to happen with Bella… Date night!!!!
it's not an official preview but that little tease on Steam is still better than nothing

I try not to get my hopes up too much because that bastard is gonna make James show up right before MC fucks Bella and that will be the end of the episode.

• I like Becky: That is to say, I like my dick in her mouth.
• I like Cammy: Specifically her ass, but the rest of Cammy too.
  
• I like Zoey: Will she be back?

But you don't have to like them all if you don't want to, just saying...

I do find some of your choices questionable, but not these ones at all. More Zoey would be nice to see. Becky I'm a lot more iffy on. I agree that scene was the first time I found her likeable at all, though.

I prefer Benedictine eyedrops

I'd better warn the betadine monks.

Heather drives me crazy. She's that hot girl that hates you for no reason that you can fathom, regardless of what you do.

I don't read her like that at all. She's not "the hot girl". She certainly acts like she thinks highly of herself for having halfway decent looks and big tits, but nothing I've seen of her (present or the past flashbacks) show me anything but a stuck-up conceited bitch. Sure, she's probably got major insecurity issues that would explain the defensive behavior, but I don't think she's all that hot.

It's true, we are, which is why it's funny whenever "young people" think they've come up with something new in the bedroom. 99% of the time they haven't. It isn't 'gross' until they find out that we were pioneers and they're just young tourists on the well-established path.

You have to delete your persistent saves folder

C\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\RenPy. Delete the BeingaDik folder

Bad advice, fellow forum-readers. You do not have to delete the folders and all your saves for a fresh start. You can merely delete the 'persistent' file from both locations to zero out your gallery.

this game have sex scenes with others male characters? like ntr, cheating, blackmail ? or is just full male harem?
