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

[felicemastronzo]

That's a really shitty thing to pull off though. There are Camila, Riona, Nicole, Lily and etc., I mean we had the option of spending time with all those characters and having it be for nothing and leading nowhere is retarded. I think if DPC does that, he's going to dig himself in a hole.

there is a moment in the story for each of them when you realise that there are no plans for them, that they only serve to increase the sex scenes

Nicole when she invites the first stripper who walks by to celebrate MC, without her it would have been the perfect start to a believable relationship

Camilla when she became Riona's lady-in-waiting.

and so for each of them

but for the others, nothing more should be hoped for. It's not possible.

WHAT????

 

[sixart]

Kinda bored.. Can anyone recommend good anime type games?

 

[mightybored]

no MMF in this game

the only vague possibility could be Elena, but don't hold your breath.

Well, I'd go in on Elena with JB too, actually.

 

[shazba]

an ending can also be a bitter ending unfortunately, and it doesn't have to be a bad ending
for example Sage's ending could be like this, a great love, and a great goodbye at the end of college (if the story gets there)

La Trouple and Bella, for different reasons, are the 2 stories for which I find it hardest to imagine a happy ending.

about Bella there are too many mysteries and too many obstacles to a serene relationship, and the fact that everything is constantly postponed doesn't help me to remain serene (MC has been seeing Bella for 2-3 months and she still doesn't know what happened to her husband... the important thing was to tell Jill... but he didn't even do that... also postponed)

instead about the trouple i don't know... in the end even for the 3 guys it's more of an experiment than a real relationship. an experiment that we know will have to fail in some runs, sometimes leaving out mc but other times leaving out a girl. wouldn't it be the climax of the drama for those who are in the trouple to have to choose one of the two girls at some point (directly or indirectly)? just that drama full of guilt that DPC likes

Bella's ending doesn't have to be like MC and Bella married and had a kid and lived in her house, for example. That ending wouldn't fit, honestly. I'll be glad if we get something like MC graduates and sometime later runs into Bella, she looks better... Healthier. MC remembers how he helped her overcome her issues and move on and have a normal life. Then Bella goes like, "would you fancy a cup of coffee?" and we get a black screen and the ending is up to our interpretation.

The throuple ending is the most difficult of them all, there are way too many issues to be worked around and figuring out an ending that is different than a fuckfest is going to be a trick.

It's too early to talk about the final. I am skeptical about the future of the project. Yes, I always try to be optimistic about the development period and its features, but the reality is that the game is getting bigger, a lot of characters are being introduced into the game, animations are becoming more complex and detailed, full-fledged LI arches have appeared. Therefore, I am looking forward to new Q&A, where I will solve everything for myself. If he doesn't really change his business processes and considering all this + the appearance in the new stores, I'm not even sure that the game will be completed. at all.

I don't think he has decided the endings, in fact I've seen very little that would convince me that he has more than a vague outline as to where the story should go.

Pasha also brought up a good point about DPC adding more characters. The more updates I see the more I get the impression of someone struggling to control a runaway train. He has all of these followers now, he's selling custom renders and has monthly tiers in the hundreds of dollars. I'm sure he likes all the money and wants to keep it going but I feel like he's struggling to keep everyone happy. Go into the Patreon forums, it's a constant demand for more new girls, more threesome's, more special renders, etc.

This interlude is the perfect example. For a while now those tracking the development times of the episodes have discussed the possibility that a calendar year would come where he couldn't possibly deliver more than one full episode. 2022 is that year. While he may indeed need the interlude to test his saves, as stated, it also solves the problem of delivering two episodes this year while not being forced to make a smaller "episode", something that wouldn't go down well with the Patron's. Of course if he can't complete ep9 by early September he's going to face the same dilemma in 2023.

I don't think the ending of this game should be all that definitive. To me, this game is about the journey, not the destination.

The guy's just in college, helping out his friends and fucking girls. Sure, at that age there's some heartbreak and shit, but really those are the carefree, fun years.

All you romantic motherfuckers want him to have "endings" with these girls. He's too fucking young. Let him sow some oats, graduate, get a job, get serious and then find the woman he wants.

Settling down when you're so young...

Here's my ideal ending (maybe not the plot twist though).

About the ending... HELL NO ! ( Reading the lines I knew you were up to this... ) But what the hell does a nurse do in MCs firm ? Stalking... right !

 

[DarkKiller]

I swear if Jill drives a wedge in the relationship the next episode and is like "Bella, this is wrong", I swear I will lose it.

Wanna bet it'll happen?
The way Jill reacted it's one of the more probable ways the story can go. The only question is if Bella actually tries to fight for her relationship with MC from the get go or if she suddenly starts doubting herself again because of Jill.

But I wasn't saying that the ending should show us how it will end, if it really will be a happily ever after. on the contrary, the "slides from the future" have always made me quite sick.

but that it should at least end with that hope, which is what everyone hopes for when they're in love, regardless of how it ends.

if the game would end in this school year, also the future with Sage would be extremely doubtful, with Bella so open that it wouldn't even seem like an ending, with the trouple... let's hope they'll get there at the end of the school year

Guys how to dowload one patch at a time?

I think Bella will fight for MC if it comes down to that. Like, even Jill is going to be surprised when she sees that. Reason is, Bella is stubborn and she already lost a lot in her life - her parents, her husband, possibly a child. But she will not lose MC - the guy who sparked the fire inside her again, the guy that brought her walls down, the guy that made her feel young again... At this point, she might as well piss all over MC to mark him as hers, it wouldn't matter. She already claimed you as hers and she made it very very clear. Jill tries to infringe on her territory and she's going to get her ass handed to her. Then she starts avoiding MC altogether and he finds it weird, but one day he sees a different ring on Bella's finger - a Claddagh ring.

Oh fuck. Then everything clicks into place.

oh man there's some tough choices in this game. I'm torn between making a new playthrough or sticking to the one I'm on.

Im a happy ending kinda guy and I'm seeing some choices I made really starting to backfire which well sucks. on the other hand i also wanna ride this roller coaster to the end because its really compelling and interesting to see actions really have consequences.

the opening intro that plays really was telling the truth its not just a porn game. its a compelling adult novel.

p.s.
this is just me expressing my thoughts about were im currently at in the story. its not a review so i didn't write it in the review section.

I always thought that carrying on the two relationships at the same time, with Bella and Jill, would be a game over.

Now, however, with the official choices and the intention to end the story with Jill anyway, if we choose Bella, I have some hope that we can survive that as well.

if, on the other hand, we're not really in a relationship with Jill, and this is something that the game repeatedly points out, I expect the crisis between the two friends to be resolved in a dialogue or little more

Your ideal ending is so bad that I want to wash my eyes with acid. Never link your ending ever again.

The story has to have an ending he just can't leave it hanging, but I agree with Pasha that discussing the ending is premature at this point, when the game is liable to only end sometime after five or six years. If it's completed at all.

That said, the only ending I ever imagined was the one with Sage. Of course they're going to go their separate ways after Sage graduates, she's going to be pursuing her career, he's still got three years of college to go and then his career as well. But ten years down the road, at a business conference or even class reunion MC's attention is suddenly caught by a flash of red across the room . . .

there is no sticking to one playthrough. play each LI at least once. if you can have that chick on both dik and chick paths, then do that as well!

"oh, hey arieth"

Actually it just struck me a few seconds after I posted.

Same scenario, a business conference ten years later. MC is on the phone with his engineering firm trying to solve a minor crisis with a phone call when he sits down at a table (the way Sage sat down at his table the first time they met), notices someone else sitting there, looks up and right into the eyes of Sage. Fade to black.

Now that it's on Steam and GOG it's pretty much guaranteed

Wouldn't it be better he looks up and looks right into the eyes of Sage. Fuck. Then he hears footsteps.

"Oh hey guys!"

Sage and MC look to the side and it's Chad and Troy. Fuck. These fuckers showed up again.
