VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.10.1] [Dr PinkCake]

[Dumitas]

A visual novel is one slide of image after another image with texts, where it can have branches with choices.

Take Milfy City for example, it doesn't have VN tag, because MC can move around the city during the day.
MC is not forced to jumped from last image to the next image which forms a sequence of story.

Yeah but Milfy City is a complete sandbox game, this game has limited-roam now and then but that's probably 5% of the game content and most of that "free roam" it's to unlock rewards. And limited because mostly it a house or a few rooms.
Freeroam is not the same as Sandbox, Visual Novels can have a free roam system, in this case, that system is part of the visual novel (as a game). In this game, you can go back and forth in the room/rooms when the freeroam is available until you choose to end it. But it's a system within the Visual novel.

In the strictest, most anal and unnecessarily pedantic way this isn’t a VN.

But it’s like 95% VN so it gets a pass. The minor exploration/point and click style gameplay and the mini games are not the focus of the game.

MilfyCity has VN storylines woven between map explorations and a day system. BaDIK has minor exploration sections woven between pure VN.

Or to put it another way, in milfy you explore to find the VN story. In BaDIK the story leads to minor bits of exploration.

NVM, I just watched the youtube video.
It's a VN to me, just like reading a book by definition.

According to F95zone tags rules: https://f95zone.to/threads/tags-rules-and-list-updated-2019-03-24.10394/

• Sandbox [For Free-Roam type of games.]

I get what you mean, I used to look at VN's that have choices and think a novel is a more linear storyline and doesn't have choices.

However, there is a very specific linear path in a story that you have NO choice but to follow, like arriving at college, falling out with initial roommate, joining a fraternity, tasks for hell week

Sometimes in VN, there can be a variety of ways to advance through a story, a perfect example is the hell week tasks but the end goal (or checkpoint) is still the same and therefore it's linear storytelling and so Visual Novel is correct.

I can definitely see some surprises in the Maya & Josy relationship but I highly doubt it's going to be another man for either of them. Now another woman interfering with the relationship could make things interesting. I said before that the Josy & Lily relationship is something to keep an eye on.

Yeah honestly this seems more plausible. I was talking about AL and Ana yesterday so I thought DPC could spice things up like that, since a lot of twists happened in that story.(I also played some spicy games in between. ) So it slipped my mind how much BADIK is more vanilla is in comparison to AL.

So it is unlikely that even soft ntr can happen, at most maybe someone gets interested in Josy or Maya and becomes a love rival for MC. As you said this someone being a female would be more suitable. DPC would not want to upset the fans with a male threat, so a new woman fits. It both adds drama and plot progression to the triangle relationship, and also pleasures fans as a new sheep that can be added to the flock of conquests. Two birds with one stone, nice catch.

No clue when DPC will post a preview... We get status updates on Friday's
Also what "previews" are you guys talking about?. There is no "Preview" that I can see.

I don't think we are getting anything this week DPC is concentrating on the steam release he said that there won't be a weekly update this week so I assume that's the same for any previews.

Yeah his attention is mostly directed toward getting that Steam Release completed (If I recall there were some issues with Mac versions? Or at least there was some issue some version and getting out there on Steam) Also doing a Q&A in the meantime as well.

I'm putting money on the Status Update this week more or less saying the Steam Release is released *if everything goes smoothly for him.

Spoiler: If DPC allows another man to easily get Maya or Josy after EP4 . . .

Wow, i hope that won’t happen.
Like i sayed some time ago, i am a normal guy and i liked the girl next door stuff a lot.
End of episode 3 hits me like a Train and the stuff who happend in episode 4 was just weird for me.
I still hope, that dpc will give us a normal route and ending for her, but to be honest, i dont know how dpc will open that door again.
The worste case for me, will be a stripper or quinns menue route with her.
At least i pray that dpc give us a happy ending route for every main girl and if we are lucky for the side girls too

Like Maya she won't do the menu stuff for Quinn and I don't think Quinn will be that bothered by it she has the other girls for that and Lilly is there we know she'll be on the menu. The stripper idea hard to say what will happen there will she be for or against it I think it will play a role just for some drama with Tommy. Thing is she might do it for the extra money to help Maya or I hope they have some other idea.

What in the ballz is the name of this song.... went through the games music list and google... came up with nothing so far.

Lyrics: I wanted to be what you wanted me to be, I wanted to see the parts of me you couldn't see, now I searching to find all of the pieces left behind.

Isabella and the pool is where the song starts.

I am 100% sure there will be a happy ending with Josy and on solo route aswell.I agree with Mormont neither Maya nor Josy would land on the menu,no chance,DPC is taking good measures to make BADIK a feel good game and even someone like me on other beautiful and amazing girl route dont want to see Josy as a stripper,so it wont happen


Talking from the past topics,Rusty is Burgermaster or Royce I forgot which one,either way I think it`s a reasonable and probably correct assumption that Sage is going to be from the other family - nicely connects with DIK party scene when the guys say"it will reach Chad and...(put "her family" here)- but what an interesting twist it would be if Sage would be from the same family as Rusty

On the DPC`s Discord thing I talked to a friend and he confirmed that DPC`s patrons have been genuinly attacked and harrassed through DMs.
