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

[Ilhares]

Hmm who was Jill's mom again ? I can't recall

Amelia. The prettiest of the (thus-far) non-slutty MILFs.

I agree. Probably a potential to be a great character. I would have preferred long lost as opposed to dead. Other advantage... Jill path.... Gets you a shot at her mom, friend Bianca and her sister.... WIN.

Makes one wonder, though. Is the sister really dead? Jill seems so naive and gullible I expect the sister to be living her perfectly happy lesbian life a mere 2 hour drive away and it's been concealed from Jill for years, and her entire 'drive to help people' is because of the bullying about it.

Though I admit that would make Amelia herself less appealing, if she was a backwards bigot like that.

This game is very good, but I don't think it would be so fun without Walkthrough Mod.
Walkthrough Mod is god.

It was not Lana's destiny to be a lesbian, it was Jill's destiny to have a lesbian sister.

Is the sister really dead?

Dunno how it is actually... but I'm quite sure there was no mention about this in detail... so why is this urban legend ( ? ) so popular beats me ?!

Does anyone have any clue (or rough guesses) about when will the next update drop? I have been checking almost every day now since mid of May. I dont even care about the Smut content anymore, I want to know the story progression haha

Yup since mid of May. And note that I don't really read the thread, just checking the front page if there's any update or not

Come back in October...

Come back in October...

Same time as to where the game left off huh, that's neat 4 more months, guess not that long of a time. Cheers for that! I'll just refrain to check in monthly I guess.

I found this interesting. This is early in the game (as DIK) and while Quinn would never admit it , she has a thing for MC. Wow.

Also, if you decide to stay with Sage, in that path, I found it interesting that Sage admits Quinn can't stop talking about MC.

I hope it ends up where (remember Quinn tells MC (on a certain path,) she was wrong about MC and thought he was a white night pussy.

It would be ironic if on the Quinn path, MC actually is and saves her from destruction.

I like the idea of Quinn redemption, but I am not counting on it.

If DPC decides to give him a redemption arc or one of moral reinterpretation from villain to anti-hero to Quinn it would be amazing.

Can you change a personality like Quinn's one?

Turning the HOT Vice President into someone she never was, as if it was enough to be with the main character to hear the voice of Angels, would be a waste for me. Some doubts are already emerging from the relationship, but the boyfriend will always stay one step behind her own ambition: after having worked so hard to create this illegal business, only a forceful threat would make Quinn change direction. Besides, the main character is careful not to reproach her anything when he himself took benefit of the services.

I just want to say that these comparisons show just how good DrPinkCake is at portraying feelings through his nuanced renders. It's one of the things that separates this game from the contenders.

I agree. One thing that shows this is that many devs, even those of other highly rated games, still use the feature of describing characters' feelings through text. Which together with the image only makes it sound redundant. DPC does not do this. He doesn't describe the feelings. He shows through the images and expressions. And that's good storytelling for understanding that in a visual story you "show, don't tell"

 

[AchedCroissant]

I hope the MC tells Burker "your daughter also calls me daddy"

it is one thing to be naive, it is another to live convinced that your sister is dead when she is not.

for certain things then you are entitled to accompaniment and reserved parking.

Not even in the worst Venezuelan telenovelas....

Primarily because of Jill, I think. Got the impression her self-appointed advocacy was because of the way her sister had been treated, so I assume she was bullied over some factor (gayness apparently being DPC's go-to cause), and people who deal with that are more prone to suicide as a result. Jill has made no mentions of her sister being a part of her life since that flashback.

 

[OFT]

Me, actually. Granted, I did vote for girls too, but I have no problem with guy-centric preview pics as long as they're interesting. It's not like I'm looking at previews to leer at girls in lewd positions; I've got plenty of games for that. I just want some idea of what DPC's working on. The guys are a big part of the game, so no reason they shouldn't get previews. As I recall the pic of Rox and Buddy back before Episode 6 sparked some good discussion.

Fine. 117 idiots, then.

An example to illustrate your point: the players understand that Tommy has slept with someone else just by visiting the basement of the DIKs' house. No explanation is given at that moment but the glimpse is enough to leave room for interpretation. Where other creators would have used a wall of text to set forth the somewhat open relationship between Heather and her boyfriend, DrPinkCake opted for a visual approach.

If anyone's interested, I made a simple mod to allow you to just play the mansion repair game without the rest of the story (it's just for a bit of fun, it's not going to integrate into your main saves).

Just thought that since episode 9 is coming out with the new, hopefully excellent, party planning minigame, and I know how many people enjoyed the mansion minigame, others may like this too.

Two ways to do this, make a copy of your entire game, download the zip file and extract it into the "game" folder of the new copy (don't put it in your original game folder otherwise it'll fuck your shit up). It may need to overwrite a just a few files. You may also need to delete the "cache" folder in the "game" folder if it doesn't seem to work.

After that, just run the new BeingADIK.exe.

If that sounds too complicated, you can download

You must be registered to see the links

. It contains all the files you need for a complete standalone run of the mansion mini game (it probably has a bunch of unnecessary files, but it's only a couple of GBs).

I get this part so far... but why would anyone assume she a corpse by now ? No mention about her does not equal departure from the living... as far as I know !
