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

[Geralt From Rivia]

we are really close

they are both 2 betrayals driven mainly by lust, by desire, Bianca has the excuse of the shock of betrayal (if Jill is there then it has come out) and Bella a more generic shock not yet fully understood. i'm not so sure that the different phase of the relationship tips the bialncia so much in Bella's favour, if anything it increases MC's blame in Bianca's case. Bella risks not having that relationship at all, while Bianca puts her to the test, MC has many reasons to say no to Bianca, much less to say no to Bella (even considering that the first part of their story is not that thoughtful, but rather chaotic)

I generally try to be softer on Bella also because I don't fully understand her, what drives her and what she's been through before, and whether that can fully justify her or not: Bella is still a woman of mystery with unknown baggage until Episode 12.
But overall it's a good statement, MC is a rotten cunt here playing with Bianca, and Bianca is a snake who betrays her friend and is also a hypocrite.

Bella taking Mc home with her after the tennis match against Tybalt is not a great moment of female solidarity

Female solidarity, thing that is exist, 100% info.
Sorry, can't resist.

let's hope she keeps the intention...

She can teach Jill a lot about life, Bianca failed her job at socializing Jill. Although Jill is already doing well as their relationship with MC develops... The main thing is that Sage doesn't mention to Jill that she jumped on MC's dick too..oops.

Not really. Josy's willing to do almost anything to be with MC. Especially DIK MC can be evil enough to use this threesome as a bargaining chip to "force" Josy into it (if she's not that willing herself)

Naah I think Josy learned her lesson about sharing. If you're with Josy, you're only with Josy.

More of a spineless guy from what I've seen recently. Guy couldn't even be bothered to give Fuckface a heads up when Tommy "borrowed" money from the party planning budget.

I think he explained why he did it. Anyway, so far they have not had a full-fledged conversation on this topic.

 

[Murgus]

Is it worth playing 11 now or should I wait for 12 and season 3 or steam? Any information about the timeline? I suspect that DPC sees the dollar signs from the upcoming steam release so it would make sense that he works harder to get the final episode done

Bianca I give the benefit of the doubt because I imagine both of the sexy interactions were influenced by alcohol and she's even acknowledged what she was doing was fucked up whereas Bella has no such excuse.

On that topic: MC is a young guy, why the fuck should he not be able to cum 2 times in a row. Instead of talking about leftovers, they (Mel or Sarah whoever is second) should have said something along the lines of: "Nice, now you need some more time for your second shot to build up. I'll work extra hard for it and show you who's better."

Especially when later that night DPC lets you have 4 sex scenes literally back to back with no break in between (Lily, Tiffani, Tara, Elena), but can't have 2 with a gap in between.

I think he explained why he did it. Anyway, so far they have not had a full-fledged conversation on this topic.

The explanation doesn't chage the fact that he should've told him. Him saying "Tommy needs to use some money from the budget so take that into account" wouldn't violated the stupid code in any ways since it wouldn't have revealed the reason why.

 

[BobBobb]

We'll keep getting bitches next episode, i wanna know what music genre will MC play at the recital. Will he be able to hold the guitar correctly this time?

Naah I think Josy learned her lesson about sharing. If you're with Josy, you're only with Josy.

In her case sharing was only bad because it was a serious relationship with all parties. There is nothing wrong with a threesome now and then, even while in a relationship with 1 of them.

Especially when later that night DPC lets you have 4 sex scenes literally back to back with no break in between (Lily, Tiffani, Tara, Elena), but can't have 2 with a gap in between.

Was it really the same night? I always thought there was at least 1 but more probably multiple days between the free roams.

It seems that Tremolo noticed this before too, but did not bring up the conversation. Or am I wrong?

Narratively, it could be.

Programmatically, it does not make any sense to initialize a variable to False and then provide just one conditional instruction that sets it to... False, as it was from the beginning.

I repeat: with current v0.11.1 , at the end of Episode 11 the variable ep11_bianca_path will ALWAYS be False, no matter what the player chooses.
What you are suggesting could work only if in case the player chooses to stop flirting the variable were set to True. But there is not any instruction to set it to True.

So, unless DPC releases a patch for Episode 11, he will not be able to detect what the player chose. This is a technical bug that makes the variable ep11_bianca_path programmatically useless.

What's the use of a variable which can ONLY be False?

---

The problem is that installing such a patch won't fix saves made while playing with v0.11.1. Users would be forced to replay Episode 11 from a save before that menu is displayed to correctly assign the value to the variable ep11_bianca_path

(I have a workaround for this, but it would require to change the name to that variable, and then if the game detects the old variable and not the new one, it explicitly asks "Did you choose to flirt more with Bianca?" and uses this answer to valorize the new variable, since the old one doesn't carry any information)

---

In particular, about:


Currently that variable is not tested anywhere, so the bug doesn't cause any issue during gameplay.

It can only be spotted by decompiling the scripts. And we all know how much DPC hates folks decompliling his code... So likely no one dares reporting "Hey, I decompiled your game and found a bug" under the fear of being instabanned.

Probably, the solution that DPC will adopt is to check these variables: ep11_bianca_dick, ep11_bianca_flirt


Instead of: ep11_bianca_path


Then, by checking these other variables, our great genius DPC will update ep11_bianca_path to True. (Although some people may have enabled all these variables and, when it came to the choices of flirting more with Bianca or not, changed their minds and backed out. But since he hasn't released a patch until now, this is probably how it will be.)

On the real, if he was younger, Glenn Howerton would make a perfect tremolo

assuming you're not skipping that for the MMA competition

This game has officially entered 'time waster'. If it updates, great. If not, no big loss. It's so overly bloated at this point, and the quality suffers. with all the 4090 cards, you would think that DPC could illustrate a pair of yoga pants ripping that doesn't look like it's made of literal paper mache.

It officially crossed over the "time wasting" territory when DPC locked the sage scene to a select choice of not even flirting with jade back in episode 3 (sage being on DIK path no less). I finally broke down and just used the cheat mod, because that's completely asinine. If his expectation to justify a yearlong update is for you to go all the way back to episode 3 to replay to get a specific scene now, that's f**cked. It's already a chore to get through the SAME storyline, same math answers, english scrabble, to grab the few extra scenes. with regards to the overarching storyline, not much changes? no matter which LI path you're on? I understand DPC is only one person, but there's really no point in cycling through the same 500 scenes just to get a couple off the path sex scenes. It's not a meaningful change in experience, and it's just tedious and repetitive. It's just not worth it. Is there even any penalty/reward for not failing tests anymore? I don't notice any change.

Not the mention the drop in the quality of the scenes aren't really worth it either? I really don't like DPC's recent trend of having YOU pick the sex position to go back to, and when you want to "cum". Just kinda kills the immersion. I went back and replayed a sage sex scene (from season 1 ep 2or 3?) at the DIK/HOT party outside and the animation, shots and pacing of the scene was 1000x better than the recent sex scenes that have supposedly have beefed up quality renders etc.

The story has had glacial movement, instead DPC is focused on introducing new characters to an already bloated cast of girls. It shouldn't take a year+ to write a fairly obvious story on a college guy trying to fuck girls on campus, and a drug scandal that's been teased since episode 1. I haven't noticed any QoL since like episode 6 or 7, and i think DPC was releasing updates every couple of months, not years.

Agree 100%. I wasn't even excited for this newest update and haven't even played it yet. Ep 9 and Ep 10 were slow, boring, and just below average at best. This game drew me in early on but somewhere in the middle, it just fell flat to me. I have been sticking with it since I did put a good amount of time into playing it but it's fading fast. He could probably cut down on a ton of dev time and get updates out faster if he doesn't overcomplicate things like the minigames and put stupid added things like the fight club into the game. Even people who might like the fight club thing, I'm pretty sure would forego it if it meant more updates and better story advancement.

I wouldn't mind seeing an movie/mini-series adaptation of Being A DIK, even if it's a porn parody instead of borderline like American Pie. They've done it with videogames that had worse stories (aka zero to none).

Hey, I like the fight club, fight club is fun.

Maybe there would be less sex in the series than in the game. I think it would be like Californication

Oh wow didn't know you could actually mess with Bianca at the party, I flirted with her every chance I got on the Jill path and still missed out.
