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

[Ottoeight]

Yea, ep 9 might be a "make or break" type of deal for me personally. It's not like I'm going to drop the game but if it feels as mechanic and disconnected as ep 8 then I think my interest will just naturally plummet. There's just too much to cover that HAS to be covered in ep 9 because of the clusterfuck timing of everything:

• Ep 8 ended at the Burkes. That scene will have to happen and the subsequent "Oh noooo, what're we gonna do now." conversations
• Zoey
• Lead up to Halloween with all the LIs and the rest of the cast
• The actual Halloween party (it's been two years, you'd think he'd make it a banger)
• Continuing the Maya/Josy throuple or ending it if you chose someone else
• Any real progress with your chosen LI and not just a nice handy-j in a bathroom stall
• New classes to be introduced
• That hospital scene (which may or may not take up a lot of time)

I don't know enough of about animations to really determine anything from that but it seems like people keep referring to how "big" the episode is going to be based off how long the game is taking but the thing that's holding things up and has been talked about the most in terms of dev time are the animations. I just don't see how that correlates to anything other than file size. It's going to make everything look better but ... does it really add to the amount of content?

However, if it legitimately takes over 3 hours (minus mini-games and final free roam) to play just a single route and it's not just because the animations are taking up that time then this is probably going to cover everything really well.
Also if what he said about Bella and Sage's playthroughs having so many differences means anything at all then it'll bring back that immersive feeling that ep 8 lacked.
If it doesn't then we'll just end waiting another elongated development cycle for ep 10. It's ... whatever I guess. But it's kind of like when you're following a show and the newest episode or season feels kind of phoned in or doesn't really cover much of anything so you just decide to forget about it for a while and come back to it later. BADIK would probably end up being like that for me, only in this case I'll remember about it in 2 years and only ep 10 will have come out (and it will be the last episode) LOLOLOL. In any case, if I lose that much interest in it then I'll probably end up getting it here instead of going to Patreon for it at that point.

You will be disappointed. Nothing can make up for a 13 months wait.

Can someone tell me which girls has high probability of being pregnant?

No one. In my opinion, it was a metaphor: nobody is pregnant. If it wasn't, and a girl is pregnant, we will never know which, anyway. Remember: it only took 4 years for us to learn that Sage is Tybbie's sister.

That said, the first step is admitting you have a problem, and DPC is clearly not ready to acknowledge how much he needs a good editor.

Eh, if the Interlude were a normal update it would have been called Episode 9. Even if you like the Interlude, I don't think it's unreasonable to note that the main story has been left hanging for a full year (and counting!). It's hard to keep up momentum with that kind of delay, especially when Episode 8 ended on what it presented as a big change to the status quo.

He will never do it. You know it.

Better hide this shit from DPC, or ep16 will be all animated

What makes you think the Interlude isn't part of the main story?

By actually playing it. There was nothing with Josy, Jill, Sage etc. The MC was shown in a flashback as was Zoey. The interlude was a spin off more than anything. It would be like saying Better Call Saul is a part of the Breaking Bad main story. BCS was focused on 2 BB characters just like the interlude with Zoey, BCS focused on Saul's life before BB just like the interlude is Zoey's life before BaDIK started.

The interlude is it's own separate story of Zoey's life before she came back to the MC.

It has been just under 8 months since an update. Anything else is simply untrue.

It's been a year since the last update and 8 months since the spin off. There is a reason it is called the interlude and not episode 9 and that is because it isn't really BaDIK but more a spin off of a BaDIK character.

The Interlude is similar to the other flashbacks we get in the game:

• Episode 4's prologue with Maya, Josy camping.
• Episode 5's prologue with the formation of the DIK fraternity.
• Episode 6's prologue with Quinn, Rox and Buddy.
• Episode 7's prologue with Jill and Lana
• Episode 8's prologue with Bella and James

Each of these prologues provide past insight into different characters, particularly after a specific event involving those characters occurs near the close of the preceding episode.

The Interlude follows that pattern (given that one of the final scenes in episode 8 is Zoey returning to see the mc).

The difference of course is that we have some influence over Zoey's decisions during the extended prologue (and even her personality), and of course the Interlude is a lot longer than any of the previous prologues.

I do expect episode 9 to have an actual prologue, of Sage's past with the Burkes since that was the big reveal at the end of episode 8.

But I feel the Interlude is as integral to the overall story as each prologue so far has been. Meaning it's details of past events of characters that are important to the story.

If Zoey becomes a staple character for the remainder of the story, then the Interlude serves its purpose.

If Zoey ends up just having a cameo in Episode 9 only to fuck off for good afterwards, there's likely to be a riot. Both camps will be pissed. Camp Zoey will feel cheated, and Camp anti-Zoey will be able to proclaim that she was a total fucking waste of time.

Only time will tell.

oh josy,josy
that's how i like to see you,with your shapely thighs,
and your beautiful breasts that fit perfectly in my hands,
and an alluring look of "oh,you think you can handle me".

[Skeltom]

It's not more than a year - the last episode came out eight months ago.

They may not be counting interlude, and I wouldn't really blame them. It looks to me like making that unnecessary (personal opinion) interjection has thrown a wrench into the actual overall progress. It may not be related at all but the changes in his development prosses since then don't seem like a coincidence to me.

Beautiful, magnificent, outstanding, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique

It depends on how much one is invested in the game; obsessed to the point of checking and complaining it's not out yet daily? Yeah, someone like that is going to be determined to find enough faults and shortcomings in whatever gets released they can keep that intoxicating indignation going. But if you think of it as yet another porn game out of dozens you play a bit whenever it gets updated... then it's likely to be enjoyable enough.

Unfortunately as good as abandoned. We haven't heard from the dev for literally hours so at this point might as well unfollow and move on.

 

[LiuXuande]

Damn, this loop about the interlude. The problem is not that DPC took a break and made a mini uptade that took half of the time for the previous update (6 months) and was the time for the first uptades (3 months).

It's that the update are starting to get ridiculous long (9 months/1 year) while they were 3 months for the first season and 6 months for the second.

I can't blame DPC for that though; he makes the same amount of money whatever the time between updates but I can blame the pigeons that keep feeding him with money and encourage his behaviour to always enlarge the time between each uptade.

After finishing my latest runs I notice something. Normally in EP7 I always pick the Josy hangout then go back check out the Maya one and then go back to Josy but this time I did a save for Josy and a save for Maya. If you go to Josy she wears MC sweater in EP8 but if you go to Maya its a grey sweater. If you get the grey sweater Maya joins in more at the water park and you cream pie her at the party with red sweater you cream pie Josy and at the party Maya makes you pull out but tells you she getting pills. Other then Maya joining in more nothing changes on the Josy side other then which sweater she wears.

So what does this mean if anything? Red or grey sweater Josy still love's MC that seems pretty clear and Maya still buys pill by the end. Both girls have strong feelings for MC I think what the sweaters for Josy and Maya's involvement and where she lets you cum is a progress marker and hint for solo path later on. It show which of the two girls you chose to spend a little more time with in EP7.

EP8 I believe does the same thing at the party watch if you get Josy's screen in 8 she will wear MC sweater in 9 even if you got a grey in 8 and Maya will let you cum inside her in 9 even if you didn't in 8. As long your getting screens with both girls the throuple is in play but when you have to pick Josy or Maya the one you pick the most wins in the end.

 

[Lurcher1]

Yeah, I saw that. I think if you focus too much on one of the girls, it'll probably end up with some sort of split in the relationship. If you balance it, you'll probably end up sticking together as a throuple

Yes, I was surprised at the time. I chose to focus on Maya in one of the playthroughs and wondered why Josy wasn't wearing a red MC sweater.

Yeah depending on how you spend your time with them it might not be a big deal unless you just ignore Josy or Maya
