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

[dalli_x]

There're no immediate game overs in such type of games, it's not a FPS or RPG or something like that. But you set up MCs future possibilities as well as fuckups and potential good/bad or "neutral" endings by making particular choices during your playthrough. And I can't expect nothing positive from casanova playstyle and rejecting the "primary" MGs - both J&M and Jill.


Knowing who is the author of this game and what's his previous game was like... You're quite brave and optimistic in your assumptions and fantasies.
Despite the fact that I trust his words that BADIK will not be as gloomy as Acting Lessons, but this does not negate the fact that his games are not like other games of the genre (or at least most of them). This ones are not about building a harem with missing some lewd scenes and galleries as a maximum punishment. It mostly the opposite.

So in the best case, this will lead to the need to make a choice again and finally and irrevocably break someone's heart. Admit, to continue it this way and then, for example, reject Bella or reject Jill second time is very low and mean, especially when you know that they are best friends and meant a lot to each other. This is what this false hope answer and kiss will set up and lead to later. Their friendship and importance to each other complicate this situation many times. So, DPC made a possibility to fuck up once, and then you're able to multiply your fuck up twice. Profit.

I bet, he is preparing something similar for J&M rejection scenario too. Since even Jill breakup was made as flashback, while J&M case is a realtime hell during whole party.

You can kill (literally and figuratively) not only with fire, a bullet or something else, but also by breaking someone's heart, betraying someone, taking away and destroying the most valuable thing that someone has or had, especially when it comes at a very inopportune moment for a person. And with proper directing and writing of such scenes and their consequences, the death of some character can be as severe as the consequences of a broken heart, betrayal and meanness.

When a game makes you feel certain feelings, when you have favorite characters, some sympathies and attachments, then that's how it is.

I fully agree with you there. I assume so that the MC is heartbroken, probably by a breach of trust.

Rox mentioned too small Quinn during the chess game so trust can be taken immediately. In EP4 during Rusty and the MC's conversation in the Pink Rose, Rusty stated so that the MC has a hard time trusting and that is a good thing. In view of this preview, which shows the MC in a desolate state, something has happened or the MC has experienced something that he must first process. The question is only, what?

 

[NebulousShooter]

Insisting on being clean has zero to do with being dominant. That's called being safe. And people getting irritated by that even as a story arc for a character, still has zero to do with being dominant. Those who think otherwise, well, I hope you don't have or get a drivers' license. lol

MC has potentially had some kind of sex with every prostitute, nearly every stripper and most of the slutty co-eds on campus by the Halloween party. Getting him rigorously tested for STDs and having him body-dipped in Lysol is the least she should have insisted on.

Before sleeping with him might have been a better idea, than after. I think paranoid people might take issue with that because it reads as sorta her testing him if he was sleeping with others, after they committed to each other. And we all know how offensive it is to ask, or imply that a manwhore MC player is a manwhore MC player.

Could be that he comes face to face with his grandparents and they totally dismiss him. Given that Jill's family know the MC's mother side of the family. Easy link there for the MC to meet the family. Or Neil passes away - But I doubt that would happen.

This preview is probably the most enigmatic from the bunch so far, yeah. The MC looks like someone who've slept in jail and Riona is comforting him or so it looks like. Very interesting preview.

 

[Vigeous]

So guys which do you prefer season 1 or season 2. Personally I prefer season 2

Yeah! This picture is so different from the rest. On all other images MC was cleanly shaved. I even thought that he doesn't have a beard yet. Maybe DPC is trolling us here?

But, did he sleep with his back against the wall and his mouth closed?

Just a clarification: when I spoke of immediate game over, I did not mean the black screen and the end of the game. But the definitive ending of the relationship, such as with Bella if you have fun with Cate in the car


Then I do not understand this prejudice whereby DPC punishes treason severely. He has never done so either in BaDIK so far or in AL. In BaDIK all LIs more or less explicitly give mc permission to look around for the first 2 seasons.

I can't disagree with you there.
But I suspect it was likely for a mixture of reasons. Drinking at the party, and/or not wanting to risk losing her new found girltoy etc. But yeh, desire and booze will allow anyone to make the worst decisions. Or at least, the most irresponsible ones.

I just thought it was funny to have a scene to make more fun of Dawe though..
Not that he needed any help on that front. lol

 

[7thOmen]

As a result of playing AL first, DPC has given me PTSD and now I can't help but look at everything as potential foreshadowing. The decor in Rusty's room has me completely creeped the fuck out. For fun and to kill time recently, I loaded up a save to run through Ep9. After slugging Oscar, there was an interesting warning from Zoey. Lily makes a comment like 'don't shoot me' in a cluck. Some of the things Elana says during that end bathroom conversation, she has a 'gun' after all. I understand the concept of Chekov's Gun, but I also get the red herring idea, too.

Am I digging too deep here?

Being a DIK - Video enhancement mod​

This mod overwrites the native 30fps animations of the game with interpolated 60fps animations.

how ? Thanks to deep-learning processes, trained predictive models can interpolate one "fake" frames next to each native frame.

The result gives a smooth effect on each animations.


Here are some previews of what you can expect (

Yeah, I can't even begin to speculate what it could be. But I am looking forward to seeing what it's all about.

 

[Crusader of Romance]

Same. Season 1 was great, if a bit unbalanced in the beginning, but season 2 was awesome. I especially liked the freeroam parties.

There are two types of Quinn enjoyers

I know a lot of players choose for the mc to bang a lot of the girls lol
But I will only sleep with my beautiful angels Maya & Josy all these other girls are just in the way
Maybe after they leave campus the mc can move in with them and start a life together that sounds like a great ending to me.

Maybe Tommy knows about Heather blowjob or Jade sex tape came out, it doesn't make sense for MC to heartbroken its to soon after picking a LI unless DPC really really wants to fuck you over mega super big time for cheats points, I think its just something for Rio path

Could be that he comes face to face with his grandparents and they totally dismiss him. Given that Jill's family know the MC's mother side of the family. Easy link there for the MC to meet the family. Or Neil passes away - But I doubt that would happen.

I have also thought about this before. A drug taking DIK MC would give the grandfather regarding his assessment at that time (class difference) of Neil right and it could be so that the MC is rejected. On the other hand, if the MC is a clean man CHICK, there is no reason the MC to be rejected.

This preview is probably the most enigmatic from the bunch so far, yeah. The MC looks like someone who've slept in jail and Riona is comforting him or so it looks like. Very interesting preview.

Possible. We know from another preview and a picture from DPC that the MC is driving Rusty's car and is with Quinn in the alley where Quinn buys her drugs from Buddy. The MC is wearing his DIK jacket while doing this.


Umbrellas. The word and the umbrellas themselves come up too often. Mona and Camila have to organize an umbrella for the scavenger hunt. In EP6, when Quinn, Mona, Camila and Lily are talking, we see an umbrella and Mona also drops Quinn's drug deal. Oddly enough, Mona ends up leaving EP6, the only question is where to? We only know one thing: Mona completely cuts off contact with her HOT sister and friends.



But in EP6, we see an umbrella once again. Oops. In Buddy Alley. Is Buddy Alley perhaps already under surveillance? If so, it shouldn't be good if the MC is seen there with Quinn.

It states earlier on in the game that "Grandfather (mother's side) didn't want anything to do with us/me.". Supported by not being in the MC's life, at all, after the mum died. So no matter the MC's affiliation of Good/Bad the Grandfather holds resentment and likely will just dismiss him. However it can set it up that by the end game the Grandfather and MC get on good terms and they get to know one another - But I assume that would be more the Chick side of things story wise.

I REALLY hope we will get a choice to NOT drive a bright colored sports car into a drug deal...

It doesn't have to be so the MC gets his heart broken by his LI. We know from EP9, for example, that Tommy lied to the MC about Vinny and the gun. Ergo, the betrayal of trust could also come from a DIK that the MC sees as family in EP9.

"Even if you lose your family..." - "...or if your family loses you."
