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

[NebulousShooter]

S. Burke has that unfortunate look of a cardboard cutout character that has a good chance of being dead or in prison by the end of the VN. He is convenient to sew up a lot of plot items.

Oh, look, you even have AchedCroissant 's favorite girl in your sig

I don't hate her but it's funny to talk shit about her

Speculation

What if Lynette is not the connection to the Burgmeisters or Royce? What if Neil is the connection?

If, why did Lynettes father tried to disturb their relationship? If Neil is connected with such powerful and rich families, her father would have been glad to be connected with them. Also why did Neil and the MC are lacking of funds, their (rich) relatives would have supported them at least witha minimum amount to live a not substandard life.

 

[DrSoong]

First is only a speculation and second I have already described it. What if he was a foundling or orphan? Then Neil would not know his possible sister and/or brother.

Maybe, but someone has to know to reveal his orgin. Why did this person didn't tell him, also why did they did not tell his relatives?

Maybe the upper-class relatives knew but decided not to intervene (cause Neil and MC are poor, no money to gather), if Neil knew he definitely would try to connect, maybe not for him personally but for the MC.

[...] Nicole is another excellent long-term prospect, if the MC could deal with helping raise somebody else's child, and the knowledge of what the woman in his life is potentially doing nightly. Some people would have issues with it, I don't. And she's willing to share, which will probably keep some nice variety in your sexytimes as life goes on, a definite plus.

I've been pondering the question about Nicole/Envy; I'm reluctant to see a child character appear inside a game with adult content, and I wonder if DrPinkCake feels the same way.

Yet the fact she is a mother is this character's uniqueness, and it would be a miss if Nicole's personal situation was not developed further (there is no shortage of strippers in Being a DIK).

I don't think we're gonna get that depth from her character.

Just reading Ilhares's post above, it made me realise something.

Like most AVNs, there is a kinda slow burn to full on sex with most of the main LIs, so the game has a few side chicks for the mc to fuck in the meanwhile, to keep the game entertaining on a sexual level.

DPC made a big mistake with his side girls. He made them too good.

Girls like Camila, Jade, Lily, Nicole, Quinn, Riona are really, really likeable in their own unique ways. They shouldn't have been allowed to outshine the main LIs.

 

[DrSoong]

Because Neil and the relatives might have to find out themselves first?

For example, Rusty talks to Neil's former boss at the nursing home. We definitely don't know everything the two of them might have talked about.

As i mentioned, it is possible, although it takes some detours during the storyline. There is some connection between the MC (at least) and the upper class, it would be a great turn if it is through Neil and not Lynette.

They shouldn't have been allowed to outshine the main LIs.

Think this is wrong since this is about personal preferences... for some it certainly does for others definitely not

The " Side Girls " don't get as much " screen time " either so you can't really get bored with them so easily as well

And finally... is there such a thing as " too good " ???
Okay... except for this...

On my first blind playthrough, I automatically ended up on the Others path. I was on none of the Main LIs' paths. The comparatively large amount of interesting side girls is probably my favourite thing about the game and adds a lot of replay value. They don't need huge character depth. Little story lines like Lily hinting at forming a duo are enough. They have great sex scenes, a lot of my fav lewd scenes are with side girls. Additionally they more or less come without the 'baggage' the Main LI have.

Still think this is not the majority view. Main LI dominate, especially if you look outside of this thread.

Just me but a game is only as strong as its "side girls" it can't all be about the LI even when they perfect. The "side girls" here are good enough to have there own game or be LI's. If Lily, Camila, Rio, Nicole and Jade where the main girls and the LI's where the side girls or wasn't there it would still be a really good game.

Yeah!!! Who even cares about the 2D-art anyways?
Now, that I think about it. Maybe it's for players whom that likes to finish achievements in steam. The 100% players.

Burke is a real good man, he allows MC to watch

 

[Jimayo]

If he could ease back from the spiderweb plot dramas and clean up some of the logic issues, then the sky is the limit.

Won't happen. He's said multiple times that writing is his weak point.

He's not the only one who can make two people just having a convo interesting. There are quite a few much better writers in the genre who can do the same. Conversely there are some that can write a better plot but the dialogue is so cringe worthy at times that's it's just like jesus christ, do you really think people talk that way? Engaging characters is a very important part of making these stories work.

I don't doubt that there is truth in the first statement... even though it's a little overboard With the latter I'm not sure I agree with... see I know that those bitc..... ladies are real eye candies and great slut puppies but on their own I dunno what good they could bring... their story is flat at best think they are at the right place as side girls ! Not sure if they get all some sorta ending but it would be nice ! AL had how much ? 22 ( ? ) IIRC so this one shall have at least the double if not more

You all know me, I'll spin something positive out of a dog turd, but what the fuck is this?

This is a waste of fucking whatever it is that makes this shit exist.

Is DPC receiving any feedback that anyone in the entire world wanted this shit enough that he takes it to the next level?

Really?

Animations now too?

What the fuck!?



What. The. Fuck!?

I vote Lily.

The biggest disappointment is that Camila and Riona aren't in the poll. Because we all know that the Latina Goddess would win.

OMG Lily and Nicole are going up in popularity

 

[OFT]

I am telling you now, most of us will be dead before this game is completed.

Let's just hope the dev will not be the one... just saiyn'

DPC when he finally finishes Being a DIK:



An oldie, but still a goodie.

That's because James isn't real.

Yeah, I posted this theory after I played the update and everyone thought it was ridiculous.

The MC is looking at Isabella and James' wedding photo in EP5.

Someone's definitely going crazy!

Could be crazier...
