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

[Sancho1969]

Sancho1969

short question when you bring out your mod, will it appear for both seasons?

Good morning. If I'm satisfied with the product once complete and decide to release publicly it would be a full and complete, professional distribution. I might push out an Early Access internal release which would likely be through Season 1. Internal releases are via a predetermined control group. I'll keep y'all updated as always, I've always committed to being as transparent as possible. Regards.

 

[mightybored]

Yeah, I think I'll hold off on another run until (if?) that mod comes out; I have way too many random collectibles to find that this would make so much easier.

 

[Tadpol]

So the real game wasn't the giving of the DIK, but the friends we made along the way

This is what the MC says at the opening of the game.

His father explained to him that family is more than blood relationships, that being related doesn't necessarily make you a family, and that family is the people who help you, support you when you need it , ...

This is what the MC does with his friends and loves.

We also have the opposition between the family in the proper sense, and the family that we create with our friends. There are several characters who are better surrounded and guided by their friends than by their real family (Maya, Rusty, Jill, Sage maybe, Quinn to a certain extent).

I wonder if in future episodes you break up with LI and pursue one the LI you may have rejected.

Hard to answer.

If I were DPC, which I am not, I would place a dramatic bomb right at the beginning of BaD that provokes exactly what you are wondering.

For me, the bomb's trigger would be the decision between Jade and Cathy. The MC's dreams give it away. Jade represents the seductress and Cathy's dreams actually represent more professionalism (Pink Rose, prostitution). That's how I see it too. Everyone interprets it differently. Now I'm bringing the pregnancy test into my thoughts. The MC can fool around a lot and has many dreams and also blackouts. Will the MC have a child with a seductress, stripper and/or prostitute.

What if they were not just dreams, but activities while half asleep and/or under the influence of drugs. Every time the MC woke up after a dream, DPC added this fog to the images. This is not a rendering error and has nothing to do with the lighting of a scene. The blackouts speak for themselves.

What if the MC had impregnated a girl in such a state, who later is not or will not be his LI.

Recently someone mentioned the resemblance of Zoey and Jade. In the third and last dream the MC had with Jade, we as players can decide if the MC wants to cum in her ass or on her pussy. What would happen if this was Zoey visiting her "friend" Josy once? After all, on the EP2 date with Josy, the MC wonders why they sleep in her parents' bed and not Josy's bed. Josy says that there is not enough room there. Josy's parents arrive and he flees out the window. Maybe Zoey escaped then too and secretly took up residence in the at the MC. Who knows?

But the hard decision will come. Will the MC choose the girl (LI) he loves and / or the girl who carries his child under her heart.

If it will come like this, my decision is already made. In my opinion, a child is not a guarantee of a good relationship and the child will suffer later from the inevitable tensions of parents. But this is my opinion.

But I am not DPC.

 

[PashafromRussia]

yeah the main situation here: Once you chose Sage on episode 8. you automatically break up with Jade. It won't even give you a decision to remain having an affair with Jade. So in my point of view, MC is covered. He didn't know Jade was Sage's mother. Once he took his relationship with Sage seriously, more than a fuck buddy, he break up with Jade. And it is not like he was fucking Jade knowing she was Sage's adoptive mother. So he wasn't doing nothing wrong other than having fun. Lets remember that Tremolo is single andSage was in a relationship while fucking Tremolo. And her father is also a cheater. Burke has been trying to have a date with Isabella as well. Better, He has been trying that for a while now and they already have history. My mc, never did anything bad against Tybalt. SO honestly. If Sage decides to end up the relationship with my MC because of things he did before they start dating. I don't even care lol. I will just date someone else. My mc, so far, on her path, didnt do anything wrong towards her.

It's even hard for me to imagine how such a twist will be implemented in the game code, lol. Because DPC's most important variable is not the main choice, but lewd scenes. For example, if at the end of Chapter 4 you choose Jade, but this does not mean that you will fuck her. You can give it up if, for example, you play well and go to neutral affinity and decide to be with Josie and Maya.
It's the same here. You can accept Quinn's offer of food from the restaurant, but you not necessary don't have to call her and fuck girls. So, hypothetically, lewd scenes will be affected. But there are 9 of them. And which of them will be the trigger that will simplify the path of parting with Sage is unknown. DPC will obviously not enter all 9 scenes into the code.

f Sage decides to end up the relationship with my MC because of things he did before they start dating. I don't even care lol. I will just date someone else. My mc, so far, on her path, didnt do anything wrong towards her.

Yes. If DPC decides to check out such a stupid plot move, fuck Sage. I had a Hell week and had a task to fuck a teacher. And in general, Jade was the first to molest MC. He didn't know Jade was her mother. He didn't know anything about Sage at all except that she like to be fucked in the mouth, lol.
As for girls and prostitution. They are fucked by the whole campus, all DIKs. I wasn't in a relationship at the time, I had a difficult breakup with Josie. I wanted to fuck, I'm an 18-year-old bitch. Fuck you, Sage, if you break up with me. I'm gonna go fuck your mother again, lol.
In fact, joking aside, this supposed turn devalues the whole Dik way altogether. For me, one of the main advantages of the game was the ratio and equality of the ways of Dik and Chick. If you want romance, go the way of Chick. If you want to understand what it means to be young, follow the path of Dik.
Now it looks like enforcing a certain pattern of behavior. I fucking want to be Dik and I want to be with Sage. Fuck you, DPC, if you forbid me to do this. I will become your main hater in the network.

 

[dalli_x]

Crazy theory

What if Derek is bisexual and has fallen in love with his DIK brother the MC (not BI). He forgoes attempts at annährungs in favor of Maya, but secretly hatches a plan. He is looking for a third girl so that Derek and the MC can have a threesome when JM wants to have some private time. Of course with the knowledge of JM.

Would be interesting.

I'm more than a bit disappointed they didn't have a crossover finalist that included Melissa from AL.

Two days worth of voting, and a clear leader emerges.


For me, the choices in several of his Patreon polls are either so horrible that I vote for the one I hate the least (choosing a sex act with Madam is the primary example), or so bland that I really don't care which one wins, which covers this current poll. I find few of the finalists show any kind real imagination, especially considering DPC made it fairly clear that any of his characters from both Acting Lessons and Being a DIK were fair game.

In truth, I blame DPC as much as the entrants, because he condensed the list from more than 250 submissions down to 15, and I know there was a better mix of characters than what we have in the three bundles.

So, instead of the MC and Bianca double-penetrating a straight-jacketed Leah in her padded cell, we end up with MC and Jill cuddling under a blanket in front of a cabin fireplace, which probably will happen in the game, anyway.

Maybe I should be thankful one of the finalists didn't include Sewer Monster Arieth having tentacle sex with the DnG party.

Jill's fucking fans will kill the game. The first season was fun and carefree, and the second with the snot of Jill and Maya I like less, even though there is my favorite mini-game for building a mansion.

Will try this for sure.. Thanks.

that sure puts the Troy boobjob into perspective...

there is some forward shadowing on that in your hang out with Quinn you are so baked that she fucks you and you come inside of her without any hability to say no!

also you keep saying that you are not DPC and yet you keep fucking ... i mean trolling this entire thread... if i was DPC which i am not (dark path cunt) that would be exactly what i would say and do!

you are so boring, live a little, have some herpes!

i actually enjoyed the mansion mini game more then the lewd scenes... i even have a run where i end up with 73 extra orange bucks and that was more fulfilling then pile driving Mel`s ass ... is that a sign of maturity enjoying other things besides sex?

or could it be that although some games here are terrible they do cater to some kinks and therefore the vanilla smut that DPC creates no longer does it for me?

 

[Sancho1969]

All the speculation discussion is why I've been modding this massive title as a side project for so long while updating my current stable of released mods. To explain, I went back recently through the ChoiceGuide and listed each ChoiceEvent in the choice menus, and listed a special note for what that outcome may lead to (if correct choices continue to be made). In the Stats screens I only list those that have some critical effect in the VN's current iteration. This limited stat listing will obviously be dynamic over time (meaning I'll have to add and possibly remove to it) but it keeps the congestion down when viewing the Stat screens but also allows you to see each potential ChoiceEvent when clicking a choice. I hope the makes sense (I'm only on my second cup of coffee).

Those folks that have previously installed my mods for other titles know what I'm getting at. This process takes more time but imho leads to a much better user experience that allows you to obtain the most consolidated information you may seek. It is also the basis why I have every mod option toggled so you get to customize exactly how you want things to look and what information you wish to see/not to see.

Regarding those special notes (referred to as dynamic ChoiceGuides), here's an example to visualize what I'm explaining. Take note of the entries "SanchoNote" in the example choices below:

Don't be hasty... it might get added as an extra super hyper mega giga ultra special " bonus render " ... if it comes with YOUR Madam Stanley MC vision... I say to hell with it ! Bring 'em on !!!

The only interesting thing about that bundle is that of Quinn with Sally because the rest is Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

the problem is that the friendship part is very weak, so it becomes an obligation and an annoyance

apart from Sage (who anyway encourages MC to take the leadership of the DIKs, gives him advice on university life...) and partly Bella the other LIs don't do much as friends, they study together and greet him if they meet him... not a big effort

for example: if you are "just" friends with Jill she will actually believe Tybalt's accusations, without ever asking MC's version, can it be a satisfying friendship?

Josy even goes to being quite disturbing as a friend....

Add to that the fact that if it's not our choice (almost never directly) we are "only" friends because we have been rejected or pushed away, again not the best basis for a credible friendship.

 

[Hazeti]

Jill's fucking fans will kill the game. The first season was fun and carefree, and the second with the snot of Jill and Maya I like less, even though there is my favorite mini-game for building a mansion.

The majority of the game is being funded by Jill and Bella fans which has been very evident since ep 3 , it won't matter whether we decide to bitch about it or not cause they have always had a majority stake in the game's development and i am pretty sure that trend is going to continue going forward

i actually enjoyed the mansion mini game more then the lewd scenes... i even have a run where i end up with 73 extra orange bucks

Out of all the shitty mini games the mansion mini game was actually fun , but 73 extra bucks...... and here i thought i did very good with my run

the problem is that the friendship part is very weak, so it becomes an obligation and an annoyance

apart from Sage (who anyway encourages MC to take the leadership of the DIKs, gives him advice on university life...) and partly Bella the other LIs don't do much as friends, they study together and greet him if they meet him... not a big effort

Tbh the other LIs don't seem too compatible on a friendship route and with Bella in a non romantic path appearing more as a mentor to the MC at least for me it seems that way but Sage comes off as such a natural friend and the way she handled the rejection felt so mature just like with Bella but that was too be expected

exactly what I wanted to say, including the reserve about Bella, that you explained better

The second one has 3 Jill renders instead of 2, so of course it's going to win... This is why we can't have nice things.
At this point I would rather have a bundle dedicated only to Chad and Troy making sweet sweet love.

If you put in that bundle only a photo of Jill and the rest Chad and Troy and it is the only Bundle where Jill is

That bundle would win

Wow.. Such a bad choice..
There is only one worth waiting for (#7).
3rd bundle was so good, what's wrong with people?

 

[Deleted member 4212304]

DPC seems to find inspiration in TV Shows and movies. That´s the moral of the TV Show "Friends", and probably DPC is a fan of it.

It´s kind of an alien concept for a Spaniard, and probably for people of Spanish or Italian culture. Friendship is really important for people from a Spanish and Greco-Latin culture, but blood is always thicker than water. For example, when Neil says at the beginning of the game to Tremolo "You know that your room will always be yours", it sounded weird to me. It´s not something that a Spanish father would say to his son because usually it´s something taken for granted. For example, during the last great recession, a lot of families in Spain with all its members unemployed and unable to pay a rental house, returned to their retired parent´s or grandparent´s home, and lived thanks to their retirement pensions. Friends usually help too during hard times (like the one that awaits all us when the public debt bubble burst next year or the 2023), but usually is traditional family the first and biggest social support.

I don´t know if it´s the same in US, where the game is set.

It's mostly nonsense in the U.S. too. Young people will say it in their twenties, but they usually get married, grow up, move to the suburbs like they swore they never would, and some poor schmuck is left holding the bag.
