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

[DirtyMario]

If you look at the relationship with Jill in the long term, then you can't find a better one then Jill. She running after MC like a dog. I think if there was a scenario in the game when you become a husband of Jill and fuck on the side of other bitches, it would be ideal.

If we look at it from a somewhat realistic angle, marrying into the Royce family would be the logical best path for the MC. Getting him and his dad out of the poverty spiral at the very least and I assume Jill would be a very good wife to him.
Women have done it and still are doing it for as long as wealth is around in human civilization so why not reverse the roles.
It's literally the choice of thinking with your head as opposed to thinking with your dick.
The rest of her family and especially her parents would be a wildcard here though as I can't imagine that Jill bringing home some random low life as a potential husband would go over particularly well in a wealthy family that is concerned about keeping that status.

something like this would be totally fine for me for the next episode.
Maya looks hot as a Sexy dirty Cop. and I knew Josy would slay in a Catsuit. .

I hope DPC thinks the same way, and give Josy something like this for Halloween Party, if we get any at all of course

DPC: "Interrupts the story to make a whole monologue to explain the audience that Maya's problem is that she keep things for herself instead of asking help..."

BADIK audience responde: "She is such a damsel in distress...."

Like, really guys, how can you misunderstand so bad a stor... you know what.... still better than Maya the rapist.... yeah wathever... she is a damsel in distress.

she's still troubled and you still can do whatever you can to help her. at some point MC even mentions giving her his 5k$. can't completely rule out the damsel-in-distress angle, at least in a sarcastic way as I took shazba's comment I agreed with and proceeded to comment on.

Love Gingers. I hope the also bring Ashely in the mix; another Ginger.

...Well. Yeah. Love gingers...
Yeah...
But i think i'll pass on Ashley...
You know... since you put the dibs on her...
Yeah. Because of that.
She's all yours.
Just leave Sage to me and we alright.

That's not bad, though with the color of the eyes I'm assuming the intent was to resemble Kate Beckinsale from the Underworld series, which certainly wouldn't be a deal breaker in almost any context. Not sure who Maya's supposed to look like, though.

As much as i enjoy this game the period between updates is becoming ridiculous at this point, i think he should find a way to do this between 3-4 months...

Why would he ? It's not like he's getting paid for content delivered. In fact the more he prolongs it, the more cash he's likely to get total.
Having a huge hit of a game like this doesn't happen every day and DPC knows it. Especially judging by the unnecessary padding in a game which has a huge cast and scope already.

Well he kinda makes up to that by making each episode longer and with more renders .

He should, because at this rate it will be 2026.... if we are lucky, by the time this game is done. He won't......

 

[ChipLecsap]

The Circle is Now Complete . We are back to the " Updates takes too long, HE should hire peoples, He need to make the episode in 3-4 months" blah blah blah.

Just so you could Understand the level where DPC is in.
He's previous game Acting Lessons, had 8 Chapter, or episode. The Full game, take him more than a year to finish. 8 update. And the Full Game contained :

The complete game consists of >5000 renders, 217 animations, 61 songs and 30 sound effects.

The upcoming episode 8 of BaDik as of it right now as we know, being developed 6 month, according to DPC will contain :

4065 static renders
359 animations
24 pieces of 2D art
36 new songs
31 new sound eff

So, during Half a Year HE created 1 Episode, an Episode that is almost as Big as his whole first Game that he created for more than a Year . Name me an another Developer who is in this level . So May be Stop Bitching a little bit

 

[Kellermann]

She wouldn't be one of the burnouts drugging themselves into oblivion.

Noted, but I don't think Quinn and Tommy were needling up with Vitamin B12 shots a few episodes back. I'm not sure why DPC chose to do that. It would make more sense if Quinn were not only hesitant to sell harder drugs, but to use them as well...given what happened to her mother.

I disagree. Why can't Bella and the MC's date serve double duty? Just because it lets DPC combine assets with Jill's story doesn't automatically mean it's a bad idea. It's not like the Hangout with Bella in Episode 7 was ruined just because it grew out of the doubles tennis match with Jill. What Bella and the MC discuss while watching Jill, and what they do after Jill leaves, is what matters.

I don't really understand what Bella and MC are supposed to be doing there. If they aren't actively ruining the date, then what is the point? Either way, what a shitty first restaurant dinner date with Bella that will be. The clothes shopping and tennis match made sense because Bella worked to covertly sabotage the dates. Bella and MC sitting in the same restaurant is supposed to achieve what? It will only detract from their own "date" because they will have to constantly observe Tybalt and Jill from across the room instead of focusing on each other. If Tybalt can see them, he could rub it in MC's face that he is the one who is dining with Jill (perhaps by returning the wink MC previously gave him at the prep mansion). I know Tybalt is attracted to Bella, but Jill is his #1 waifu target, so he won't care that much if he sees MC and Bella together. If DPC's plan is to have Bella do something silly like walk by and spill a drink on Tybalt or slip some ipecac in his food then ..rather juvenile.

The previous two date debacles were relatively amusing, but it's getting a little overdone at this point and out of character for CHICK Bella. If Jill is so feckless that she can't make it through one blackmail Tybalt dinner on her own without falling into his arms, then she doesn't deserve to be "saved" from him. To tell you the truth, I don't have much desire to watch it all play out from ringside. I'd rather go somewhere else with Bella and just let Jill woman-up on her own.

Summary: Bella and MC are supposed to be sabotaging Tybalt's date, but all they are really doing is sabotaging their own.

 

[Melimelo]

I don't think Tybald is attracted to Bella, he just try to win her over because he knows she could be a great help winning Jill period.
He's so obsessed by social status and money that Bella has certainly no appeal to him.

 

[Blades1138]

Well he kinda makes up to that by making each episode longer and with more renders .

We should be thankful for the padding renders I guess. And the animations eating up heaps more dev time which we get to see for all of 2s apiece. I'd understand if someone else was doing part of the rendering work, but the way things are, he's pouring a lot of unnecessary effort just to pad out the development and content of the game. Without all the blueballing and fluff removed, we'd be at least 3 episodes further in, both story and release wise.
