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

pros

some of the most enticing female characters in a lewd game. Bella and Sage are complete knockouts. And their identities make them so much hotter.
Animations are really great. Jiggle physics top notch.
I loved the spin-off part in season 6?. That was one of the highlights of the game. Very creative and thoughtfull and it would be amazing to see if DPK could make a whole game in that setting.
Very innovative game. It's opened the door for many games to follow the same formula for the main reasons of having great renders, very attractive characters, a really well-thought out inter-play between your 'frat harem' and having more important characters to court vs. just some fun ones to get down and dirty with.

cons

Typical frat cliche, although it works sometimes the cheesyness of it all can be too much.
The 'bro's' kind of suck. Tommy and MC model design I find pretty ugly and also look pretty bad.
the genesis models aren't that good fidelity. Madam stripper is gen 8 and you can clearly see the difference. Still think most of models look good (Bella and Sage) but not sure for how much longer.
the mini games and free roam is a chore and bore. Clicking on arrows to get to one place and finding things can really annoy you whilst playing.
I think the game is generally too grindy and is better played with a Mod. I personally think it's crazy to play the game 10+times over just to get all the juicy scenes you want. It is fap material after all.
The episodes take too long to release imo and by the time another one is released hopefully there will be some good competition to rival this current game which is the benchmark for now.
The character development of Sage has been very dissapointing.

Overall

It's probably the new standard for this burgeoning VN style game. It is a qaulity game that will entertain for a considerable time. Hopefully it is the first of many and some of the problems in this game can be addressed by others or with later releases.

Freaking amazing. The college teenage drama is incredible, you feel that the characters are actually alive and you fall in love with them. With their backstory and personality you cry, feel happy, laugh, you even feel anger. You feel the story of love, partnership, fellowship and feel the importance of the most important thing in life, family. The gameplay and mini games are pretty good, it was creative and fun the mansion one, the tests were good and I like that type of qi style tests. One thing that I regret is choosing normal mode on the fight minigame, hard is better. The impact of your choice is awesome, some things that you dont think it matter is later shown. The dick pic at the end of the episode was fucking amazing. I dind't go for the dik route, I couldn't, I love the characters way too much to make the suffer, but it's good to be a dik some times. The renders are incredible, man, the characters blink. I think this game is less a porn game and more a visual nove game, sex and alike are just an addition.

Dr. Pinkcake never disappoints. Great characters and writing, amazing animations, and plenty of twists to keep you eagerly awaiting the next episode! There is something for (almost) everyone in this game. Highly recommended.

Well, not much to say about this game because it is a must play game and I think anyone ever visited f95 had play it once.
Great story, nice conversation, and especially choices do matter.
I have played this game for around two year and love to see more from the talented dev.

I've been reading from Dr PinkCake since Acting Lessons and I have to say this is the epitome of renpy visual novels that I have had the pleasure of reading. Whenever I read others I always compare them to to Being a Dik whether they can come close because nothing has surpassed this visual novel in my opinion. Everything is high quality from the renders to the story to the girls to the music. Whenever I see an update I drop what I'm doing and instantly download. I can't wait for this masterpiece to be completed so I can spend a couple days starting over and reading everything from beginning to end.

Unpopular opinion, but I couldn't get into it. I figured originally this game being a Daz game at that would have stood out the most. Especially considering the fact it is #1 on the board.


Pros:
- Minigame is Skippable/Optional at the beginning of the game just be sure to read.
- The personality of the characters are interesting and have you curious as to what's to come next to some degree.
- The humor is a hit or miss.
- The updates are massive and full of content.

Cons:
-Found myself lost with the story even while paying attention. It seems pretty all over the place.
- The render quality had honestly caught me by surprise because I expected better, that isn't to say it's trash or anything cause it is decent. Just I had the expectations high especially after playing the last game. Arms/Shoulders are broken in certain scenes and clipping here and there.
-So another thing is following the theme, which I get in the whole bein a Dik deal with its system to unlock scenes but when it came down to the sandbox I felt it could be very well revised and done better for the sake of the game and the players. Ngl figuring out which direction or what highlight leads to where was tricky at first, but you figure it out after a while.
- Story is there, but that's it, it's there. Felt convoluted, but with some bursts of plot connections. The game lowkey felt like a fever dream which in one way is fun but also not.
-The animations I'd suggest be at some point and time relooked over in order to better the quality of lewd scenes cause the motions were hella stiff and robotic if anything.

This review is subject to change, will definitely keep up with the updates still. Best of wishes Dev.

Review 2.0 (Version - Season 3 Interlude)

I think this game just about holds on to first place for favourite game here.

The storytelling fits the setting very well and it is probably some of the most entertaining I have found, every chapter will have me laughing at some point.
Sometimes I was caught off guard by suprises and unxpected plot twists.
The most controvertial (if forums are to be believed) character was added in unsual circumstances late to the game, but with the story telling given to put them in the game for that point in my opinion was actually so good I made a whole other run just to explore that arc more later.

The visuals on this game are fire, some of the LI's are absolutely smokin (although sometimes a little aggressively unrealistically proportioned...)

The soundtrack is so good that I actively try to track it down to listen to outside of this VN.

Would I play it again? Does having already played it through on 9 different runs count?

This is a masterpeice, and it's sad to realize that less than 0.01% of the world will ever experience this.

The graphics are insane, and the story while a bit cheesy is amazing.

v0.8.0 update is huge, and in a good way. The scene will Bella and Sage are epic. And trust me, I don't use these fancy words casually.

If you are considering playing this game, go. What are you doing here? Go play.

This is the gem that I've always been looking for.

10/10

Great funny story that is well written. Graphics are slick. When it comes to the ladies in the game there is certainly a women to every-once taste.
Always looking fore-ward to the next update.

Big thumbs up.
Play it no matter your preferences it will never disappoint you.

One of the best porn games i've played in my life. It has everything... not only amazing renders and animations (for those who wants just to fap) but also a compeling story, good minigames and a long playtime every update. The game just keep getting better and better with every patch. I've played several times to get different saves with different choices and girls.

If you get this game here and like it, consider support the dev, easier now that its on steam. 10/10

It's dang great for being a renpy title. It's hard to play other games in the same engine, since the quality of Being a Dik is crazy high. Strongly recommend it and you should support the dev if possible.
Only downside is that there's a long waiting time between updates but it's totally worth it.

Being a DIK is essentially the gold standard for this sort of game. It's well written, engaging, funny at times, and serious at others. The graphics are great, with each character distinctive both in design and mannerisms. There seem to be several subplots ongoing at any one time, but often these are based on character evolution rather than some third party issue being thrown into the mix.

Best erotic game I've ever played I think. Tongue and Cheek story in an american pie style world. Gorgeous renders and great characters. Quinn is my favorite. The minigames are sometimes annoying and you definitely need a walkthrough for certain parts but otherwise amazing

Thank you very much for the game.
Its probably one of the best, if not the best one, of this site.
I have a question. Is there any chance to have the file in utorrent? I cant download the 18 gbs by mega

This is one of the first adult games i played . I am always a fan of tv series based on college or highschool. After watching a lot of tv series , a crazy idea rise to my brain, whynot search for a adult game with college/Highschool setting. The first game on the list was Being a dik. I hooked into the game just after playing the first episode.


My favourite girls - 1Sage, 2Quinn,3 Riona,4 Jade,5Camila,6Lily,7Maya,
Least - Jill ( She is too cringe),

Things I Like - I really liked all the minigames in this game.Especially the mansion minigame.

Things i dont like - Giving more screen time to jill

Things to improve - Give more screen time to sage and quinn. And stop running towards madame

Thats all folks

Another brilliant piece of work. It is a deep emersive story that has sex scenes, as opposed to sex scenes with an attempt at a story wrapped around it. Lots of twists and turns that do affect the story line, with multiple different paths to take, no matter which way you want to send the storyline

-Story is so fucking intriguing.
-Choices do matter.
-Branching storyline.
-Renders, out of this world.
-Music, why did it had to be so good.


Can't thank Dr PinkCake enough for this masterpiece.

Brilliant game. Faultless so far, I really love the multiple paths and storylines and how they're quite interconnected. Definitely best VN I've played thus far. Shout-out to the Dev as well, always posts consistent updates on the progress of the game. Sage is the GOAT so far.

Definitely the best game in this site.
Good art, good animationa, good story, good characters delevopment

The only thing that I don't like are the mini games.
The game haves a lot of routes, that you might explore to see every scenes.
The developer delivers regular updates of the game.

Keep the good work

I really really want to give this one a 5 because the Renders/Animations are INSANELY good.. by far the best out of any game out there which is pretty obvious based on the games score. The use of music to set the mood is equally good and I'm surprised more games aren't stealing the management mechanic.

My problem with the game is the weird ass reverse psychology shit going on. If you look at my other reviews it's pretty obvious that I'm all about the games where you're the good guy and you're taking care of LIs. I came into this game wanting a different experience but instead I've found some weird schitzo writing going on. The game is called "Being a DIK", the writer is spends an insane amount of time smashing on being nice, which is considered being a 'WOMAN' YET the best main LIs in the game require you NOT be a DIK.

It gets even weirder when you consider that if you say screw it.. I'm going the DIK route, you are still FORCED to spend a huge amount of time being totally pussy wiped by continuing to be friends with the two girls who both hurt you. If these scenes were optional then I'd say great.. I'll just pick the option that lets me completely skip that and see the content my next playthrough but you CAN'T. You are required to spend time with them.. hell more time with them then the actual bad girls (Sage is NOT a bad girl)

So definitely play this game.. but don't be fooled by the name or the way the game is presented.
