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

[mindern]

Been like that with most of his arguments, he usually doesn't win but he keeps spamming his views and knowledge of friends who have access to the truth of all wisdom in the universe until he throws a tantrum of narcissistic rage when he runs out of logical retorts and he recycles his arguments in any later discussion he can find.... It's the sound of a broken record and a bad one at that, wish i could say something different but there's no convincing him, it's just about attention...

As obnoxious as that introduction to “Logic 101” was its hard to hold a grudge because I just know, somewhere, there’s a lawyer who died a little inside after being forced into a boorish discussion about the legal realities of a porn game. Arguing with him seems silly when there’s people out there dealing with that from him.

Since the conversation of when episode 9 is going to came is quite depressing, I just want to remind you guys that Pink Rose girls has been confirmed. That means every sweet piece of ass is going to be there, first time we throw the HOTs and the pink staff into a house full of bear and we go around like a peacock choosing who we wanna fuck. And since it's a one time oportunity to have sex with them wearing silly costume, it's kinda logical that everyone should get their chance. So we are talking of a truly fuckfest:
Something like: 3 for the LI, 4-6 for HOT's, 2-3 for pink girls, 1-2 for other students. That's like 10-14 scenes, less threesomes and group sex. That's how i imagine at least.

I don't like to answer different topics in the same post, but so it be.

If in the development of the story the mystery about Lynette's family will be interesting this of course will re-evaluate the diary (the premise about a crossroads with other rich families is not that it is particularly greedy), which for now for me remains very boring.

Were the flashbacks about the romance between the main character's parents only meant to make him reflect on his own life, or is this likely to lead to a big twist? I don't have enough evidence to consider it (and the cottage in the background won't change my mind).

Nicole, despite being put back into the game, I think she is anchored to her role as a secondary girl, we might not even see her at all in the ninth chapter as happened in the seventh for example.

Our hero's honesty would want him to warn the other partners he has a liaison with before the news are on Rooster. Nicole was not sleeping with him for money, perhaps for the thrill, but I always sensed she was looking for more. Or am I just kidding myself about how much serious can be an affair between a 19-year-old college student and a single mother on her own? In contrast to how Jade and Cathy have always been presented as cougars in their interactions.

Episode 9 doesn't have to be long. This is the introductory episode for season 3. He should introduce the player to new mechanics and the plot as it was with episode 5. Considering that Zoey's story was probably originally planned as part of episode 9, then developing the remaining parts in 4-5 months seems plausible and reasonable.

My 2 cents on future updates' content:

Interlude update - Zoey's story (mostly flashback);

Ep. 9 - road to Halloween (end of ep. 8 aftermath, MC dealing with Zoey);

Ep. 10 - Halloween Party.

My 2 cents on future updates' content:

Interlude update - Zoey's story (mostly flashback);

Ep. 9 - road to Halloween (end of ep. 8 aftermath, MC dealing with Zoey);

Ep. 10 - Halloween Party.

I think so too. Moreover, I have been actively arguing with everyone since the release of episode 8 that Halloween will only be in episode 10. Moreover, I still tend to think that the 10th episode will be this year.

 

[TuffyTenToes]

The Halloween party will happen on Episode 9, the DIK mansion was shown decorated as a tease at the end of Episode 8.

Doesn't make sense to spend an entire episode setting up the party when the episodes are getting bigger in terms of content and you can easily fit the planning and the party on it.

I simply don't find it interesting, and it seems to me to add little to Neil's story from the beginning of the game. a man and a girl much younger and from very different walks of life who fall in love and decide to go against the wishes of her family.

Lynette complaining about the constant moving doesn't make her more interesting to me, I already knew she was very young and therefore immature and dreamy.
But I honestly have no interest in getting to know her, maybe MC can have it but I'm not MC.

if something is related to MC's history it is not necessarily interesting, if they would show us every sad birthday of MC and his father they would surely be important memories for him but not for me as a player, the concept has already been explained to me, I don't need any proof.

comparing it to the flashbacks of the beginning of the chapter, in those however I am shown something that I did not know, the first steps of the history of Maya and Josy, the dynamics at the birth of the fraternities, that was useful information to decipher what the game was showing me or would show me.

from Lynette's diary to this day I have not gotten anything useful out of it. there is not a single aspect of the game that after the diary is clearer to me.

now everything is leading up to the group photo, we'll see...

Our hero's honesty would want him to warn the other partners he has a liaison with before they found out the news on Rooster. Nicole was not sleeping with him for money, perhaps for the thril, but I always sensed she was looking for more. Or am I just kidding myself about how much serious can be an affair between a 19-year-old college student and a cougar with a kid? In contrats to how Jade and Cathy have always been presented as MILFs in their interactions.

if i understood correctly according to you then in the case MC will have to communicate his decision to every non-Lis that he dated? in theories all the girls that would have appeared choosing "OTHER" or only Nicole?

I don't think so, in my opinion Jade was an exception to set up the "fuck fuck fuck" twist so we know she is mad at us.
probably Quinn will have her closing scene, but Nicole the way she was treated i don't think so

The flashbacks and Lynette's diary probably will lead you to the children of Lynette's friends, and with that it's very likely the plot will lead to MC's grandfather... Afterall, he might not want to have anything to do with MC but family of Jill or her friend might still be in contact with him. Seems to be too important to let it lead nowhere...

 

[mightybored]

Anything but another damn English spelling contest. I just cannot endure that class anymore. Same with gender studies. glad that one is over. Let's get a couple of new courses in the autumn term curriculum.

I just finished a no-minigames run (my first) and Bella's sorority it was a night-and-day difference not having to deal with all those stupid ass tests.

Also Quinn is never not trolling, and that's why she's one of the best.

It was a productive week. I have finished posing all art and completed most coding tasks as well.

What remains now is waiting for animations to render, polishing, and playtesting.

After that, I can send the game to my team of testers and proofreader.

Render times shouldn't be too bad, I hope, but time will tell.

Testing is hopefully smooth this time, too, since it's a smaller episode than usual.

The biggest task will be testing that the save transfer system is robust for Steam/GOG/Patreon versions so that any player with Season 2 can continue playing without issues.

Next week I will work on those remaining tasks while waiting on animations to render.

I can't promise a February release yet, so wait until the release date is set if you're pledging to get the update. It's either February or March, though.

Patreon milestone celebration
Today, I'll give you the final renders of the Quinn and Sally order.

Three parts remain in the custom render series.

Have a nice weekend

Dr PinkCake

Without numbers again, I feel I could just copy or bring the same thing I posted last week.
Maybe last Friday DPC woke up too optimistic. Anyway, it's still something undefined between the last week of February and the first week of March, at least that doesn't seem to have changed.
Even so, I am looking forward to this interlude, although for us who follow it episode by episode it breaks the times, in the total of the game I think it makes a lot of sense that the middle of the game has a hinge that gives a break from what came to what is to come.
As for episode 9, I see it very unlikely that it will go under 6 months of production, if as we all think, it will include the party, that is going to be a huge free roam, or at least it should be, much bigger than the HOT party and the dorm party. Besides, it should advance the main plot and the branch of the LI's, maybe it would even advance something about Zoey in the new life of the MC... Too much for one episode? yes, but if there isn't some of that the impact of episode 8 is lost.

Curious fact, in the original patreon post the images are not included in the body of the message, they are as downloadable... Something has changed in patreon or is it another protection measure?

One has to take into account that the DIK mansion is very big.

It will take a lot of production time just to resolve the Halloween party where, in the path where you picked Bella or ignored Jill, she arranges to burn the whole mansion down killing most of the characters and pin it on MC. That is a lot of animations, render time, and quality control.

In the path where you chose Jill, she becomes an extremely controlling, possessive, pain in the ass, forcing MC to cheat (including Bianca), turn to substance abuse and MC has to plot how to get rid of her and dispose of the body. That too is a lot of animations, render time and quality control.

You just remind me of this

I'm waiting because i want to play the game only when it is completed... i must... resist....

fool...
4 years of waiting I think is an excessive time

I played the 0.2 or something like that but nothing more, next will be full release... if i can resist xD

 

[Redd23]

So to change a subject a little bit (since we're going down depressing road of longer and longer update periods), who do you think will show up on Halloween party?
For sure we can count:
- all DIKs
- all HOTs (unless some unexpected drama happens)

Apart from them I would say these are possible:
- Pink Rose girls - while it haven't been offically confirmed, I think we can safely assume we'll se some of them. Lily is the most obvious one, since she's HOT as well, but what about others? Past choices with Nicole and Sandy could affect their presence (or it could be a difference between inviting them or hiring them). I'd say we won't see all of them, probably Tania and Brandi/Rose will be missing
- Nerd representation - KRJ and Sally - certainly it would be great to have them there, and after dorm party some new contacts have been made (KRJ seemed to be enjoying conversation with Derek). I doubt we saw them in DIK enviroment before, but since they've been specifically mentioned by Sage and Quinn I'd say it's pretty safe to expect them.
- standard dorm slutty representation from last dorm party (Becky (she's not gonna hate fuck herself after all), Kylie and that blonde adventurous girl - Tara?), plus probably Peggy and other crowd-generating faces, like cafeteria girl.
- Preps? Maybe depending on our decision in ep.8 Lucas, Gordon and Christian would also want to show up. It would definetely not sit well with the rest of the DIKs, but since MC is becoming some kind of a leader to them, maybe it's the time we should be able to create new alliances.
- Misha - that would be an obvious yes, but I wonder if Rusty selling his car will affect how she's acts - she could be presented same as the last time, exclusive to Rusty, or maybe she'll be interested in MC this time.
- Jill - if MC decided to be with her, there's a reason why she would come (although I strongly doubt it'll happen)

As for the "not invited" ones:
- Wendy? Minnie? Linda? Dani? - last time they kinda showed up at the doorstep (yup, I know they were just marching by), maybe this time some of them will decide to hunt Derek or Jamie?
- Vinnie - obviously not as an invited guest, but Halloween party could be a good ground to look for new customers (and since you're wearing a costume you can easily infiltrate a party unnoticed), or, if you believe this theory, fuck up the mansion once again (like a smaller version of AL fire to crash the party)
- jocks - if Quinns plan will work then they'll be occupied, but what if not? Another dildo attack? And what could Quinn have planned for them?

 

[Dnutz]

hmm so sally is going to be the MC's fuck doll huh? you might as well bring all the HOTS and Pink Rose girls under the MC's thumb game of thrones style and frame the jocks and jades husband on drug tracking in the collage, bring it to a full circle as the MC's ruling on a throne with no name, but with a monster cock, drug money for days, hot drug enforcing money laundering cock hungry chicks, and with jade as dean no problems pushing, Norah, its time to cook!

Zoey in my opinion is an easy bet

whether she starts to study or as a simple guest, a party is the easiest occasion for her to meet the other characters, hopefully without thickne scenes of jealousy that lead to nothing (like Jill's jealousy points...

in the confusion it could also be the right moment for Vinnie to appear and throw down his gauntlet, now that he is also Tommy's friend he probably wouldn't be too badly received either

 

[Darkwen]

Been doing some thinking (I know crazy) about Maya and Josy lie but what if they are not the only ones not to tell the whole truth such as Jill. We know Jill has not been with guy but that doesn't mean she is a virgin Maya never been with a guy but she wasn't virgin thanks to Josy. Something happen between Bella and Jill when Mc and Jill stay at Bella's Jill said "it won't happen again". That doesn't mean that they fuck but if they didn't they was close I'm guessing. While its more likely Jill and Bella just made out and maybe was headed to sex but stop short of it in that case Jill didn't lie but if they did fuck then Jill in fact lie to MC. Because she isn't virgin. If that is the case then Jill lie is the same as Maya and Josy lie to me any. A lie that some might call big or nothing at all. The funny part is if Bella and Jill have had sex and every girl in the game has cheated and every girls cherry has been pop and that Sage is the most honest of the LI. All that being said Josy forever

So to change a subject a little bit (since we're going down depressing road of longer and longer update periods), who do you think will show up on Halloween party?

I'm sure Halloween night will be "the night" for Sally. If you dress up as an elf, big pointy ears included, and your charisma roll is successful, the nerd will jump on you like Gollum on the ring.

I actually wonder more about who won't be there. There were a lot of HOTs that weren't even at the Dorm party. Even when the MC went to Sage the day after, only Sage found out about it or was seen.

I have a suspicion that there will be divisions between the sororities and the HOTs.

-Heather asks the MC who is the best cook. The only question is, for what?
DIK=Quinn's restaurant, drug chef (punch bowl with encore, Sarah liked it).
CHICK=For a cooking class? Josy has been able to cook before according to EP8 Cluck.

EP8 dorm party conversation between Tommy and Nick. Tommy maybe persuades naive Jamie to grow some special plants? Franz, the little hobble bunny, was very happy when Daddy Jamie visited him. Yes, the weeds made him happy and Vinny is expensive.

-Quinn has been back on top of his game since EP8. But in EP9, the MC meets the beast Stephen Burke and the beautiful Jade. Hahaha. But what if Stephen isn't a beast after all, and the MC spills the beans about Quinn's business dealings and drug abuse on campus?

-This cheating on midterms could have consequences too. I think some chairs are wobbling.

Also, DPC has told us what will happen in EP9 or from EP9. Stephen talked to Isabella in the classroom, didn't he? He also said that the aptitude tests will start soon. So I think the selection process has already started in EP8. Korb. Look at the list.

Jacob: Jill activated concert or basketball (Band)
Leon: literature electrical engineering or nature
Nick: Nature including chemistry karate
