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

[NotTheReal16]

If you want to stay neutral, just basically don't fight at all but do all the fun stuff (take Quinn's offer, smoke on the roof, take the fake, etc.). That will keep you good for pretty much the first 4 or 5 episodes.

After that, I remember getting the Alphas to leave the party (DIK move) and volunteering for the elderly home (Chick move).

Can't remember what the choices were after that, think I was already in ep 8 by then. At that point I can't remember anything being all that important enough (other than Jill's thing) to care about staying at a certain affinity and it was pretty easy to manage to stay within that "Neutral" margin since there were only a 2 or 3 choices left.

BUT just because there wasn't anything else to worry about in terms of affinity for ep 8, doesn't mean that it won't mess things up in future episodes if you want to stay Neutral for some specific reason so probably just just try plan it out for those last few choices to make sure you stay Neutral.

Okay and yeah thats what I tried doing. I think fought all those times in the earlier episodes tho so might have to change that if it’s affecting things.

Cause you're a cunt as this post proves. You have no empathy, no consideration and not an ounce of sympathy at all. You're just a shitty human being. You gonna act like a cunt you're gonna get treated like one. I don't play nice with inconsiderate self centered assholes, and that's what you are.

Is there a bella and Jill route? Like both together

There isnt a route with both of them at this time.

 

[AchedCroissant]

Yes, I suppose other people share similar opinions. You aren´t offended by it, right?

Which of all the girls is your favorite?

No need to overreact.

btw Steve has been a cunt to MC for quite a while before that, so the reaction of the MC could even be considered mild.

I'm not overreacting at all. Ooooohhh he said some mean things to me. What am I a fucking child? There are things Steve could've done that would've merited basically telling him to go fuck himself, but that? No I'm going to act like an adult with an actual fucking heart.

This is the most autistic conversation I've ever seen lmao

"The dude's mean to me to a guy who's asshole all the time but I'm going to pretend he's the real asshole."

I'm good to people until they prove they don't deserve it. And he's long since proven that to me. I'm not going to be kind to someone who's never kind to anyone.

I'm agree with you. Even if DPC take a year to do " only " one episode, all episodes worth the wait, we can't say the same things for some Dev who are just milking some poor patreoners ( Hi Icstor ). I know for some people it's hard to wait a whole year but for me I totally understand DPC works and just wait patiently for an another masterclass ( with Bella for sure ^^ )

Hard disagree about the release.

If there is one thing ive learned about DPC is that he is pretty decisive about what is in his episodes. He doesnt strike me as the kind of developer that would suddenly add a bunch of scenes right near the end and have to delay the entire episode (If anyone has proof him doing this then please share, but I have personally never seen it). He also mentioned that he is closing in on the end of the development cycle. I wouldnt be shocked if he came out at mid/end of October and said that he was nearing completion of the chapter, and only playtesting remained.

There is always a chance that it could be pushed back, of course. However, given his work ethic it seems unlikely that the chapter would launch any later than November.

Man, this is what psychoanalysts call: "Denial". Deny the reality because it's unpleasant.

I'll only add that DrPinkCake himself told in one of his Patreon posts after ep. 8 release that Episode 9 would have been shorter than episode 8 and that he was going to release it faster than ep. 8.

'Nuff said.

I'm going to embrace the layman's approach here.

Did you get an episode every 6 months or less that year? No? That's one episode per year. We don't judge based on fractional development, we go solely by released. If he's got dev time at 8 months or less, then the year following he could claim he put out 2 episodes that year, but that's not what seems to be happening.

So, yes, 1 episode per year is a valid objection at this point. He bought all that extra hardware and set up his rendering farm so he could do more in less time, and yet we keep getting devtime bloat. Now, usually, that's a good sign - but ep9 was supposed to be smaller and out faster. Instead we got an Interlude, which gave us very little (but let him bugtest his import feature more widely, so I get that) and a string of ever-increasing delays as he pulls more stuff out of his ass.

There is a point where you have to draw a line in the sand (as a worker) and say "No, fuck this, we're reaching point X and we're done, we can push X+1 into the next batch".

Unless you're selling cars, of course. You don't really want to sell them without functional brakes.
I find it mildly humorous that Neil makes a big deal out of using protection, but never really seems to address that MC is his only child. It's kinda like hearing "Oh, man, if only I'd worn a condom I wouldn't have been stuck with you for 18 years". Thanks, dad! Damn.

I'll bright the lighter fluid. Don't worry, shazba - I've got your back.

If there is that much work left, we get update next year. There has been almost 1,5 year from last update, so do we get this one 2023 halloween? Is there gonna be interlude part 2 before that?

Dont say that even as a joke.
I wont survive the rest of the year whitout playing this game.

The only sane comment in the last two pages.

 

[hidden_robot]

I know that; I just would like for it to come out when I am on vacation in order to play without interruptions.

LOL, you're just like me.
I had my vacation planned for November, but i've rescheduled it to December just to make sure.

I like how you moral crusader types always put down and belittle other people for not sharing your world view or agenda AND at the same time masturbate to your moral superiority and goodness of your heart. It's both hilarious and sad at the same time.
Take a chill pill and stop being obnoxious lol

If the idea of getting cut off, and throwing 40$ at a picture sounds appealing to you, why not do it yourself?

I wish man, we are on a piracy site after all.

 

[StopMeIfYouCan]

Now am kinda curious what choices people made for their neutral characters.

For me it's easy. If choices leads to lewd dik if not chick.

 

[godkingxerxes]

Steve? Fucking Steve?

Ah damn. That sucks. Well it's not iron-clad. It's just how I did it when I wanted to play a Neutral run. Neutral run for me is pretty much if I want to play a Chick-affinity LI's route so it's not like you're missing out on anything for those characters even if you just do the "Chick" choices to balance things out. Idk, you'll figure it out ... or just use the mod which could potentially fuck up your saves. The choice is yours! You've got this!

All this madness was created by pissing on Steve
