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

[felicemastronzo]

what answer did you give yourself about the ten "minim" runs to see all the content of the next chapter?

let's start with the obvious 5, i.e., those resulting from the choice in the last chapter, and for simplicity's sake consider the faithful run as the basis
1 Bella
2 Jill
3 Maya+Josy
4 Others
5 Sage

To these are probably added the two variants
6 Bella bis, having also courted Jill
7 Sage bis, having had a relationship with Jade

and up to these 7 I am pretty sure, but after that?

there could also be a variation of Jill, in case we broke Bella's heart, but I don't see that as very likely

being there Burke could become important again whether or not we disclosed the footage of Jade again in the case of having courted Sage as well (8)

there could be a further variation of Quinn in others, depending on whether or not we have also courted Sage (9)

then there are some other situations that will probably have some development, but I don't see al need for a specific run:

there could be Zoey with the two variations depending on the one major choice in the interlude
there could be some consequence as to whether or not we were successful in rebuilding the DIKs' headquarters
there could also be Cathe's return, but she doesn't need a standalone run, there is room for her in Others (like Nicole and Lily we saw in the previews)
it should probably also have some consequence as we have been dealing with Heather

what else can you think of?

This might be a bit out there, but I’m thinking that some of the HOTs side girls may cause some variation.

If things advance with the Chad storyline, then a “strong” bond with Melanie and Sarah, or either one of them, could come into play. That is to say a DIK run where the player has been with them at every possible opportunity. We’ve already gotten a small variation already when Sarah grabs the MCs cock under the table during lunch with Sage and Quinn.

I think Melanie looks like that jock Alex’s sister. Alex seems to be close with Chad, maybe he and Mel have known him for a long time, which might explain how Melanie knows about Chad being a closeted homosexual. So maybe if you’re invested in them, you may discover some hint that relates to unsolved story elements.

In addition Riona is quite popular amongst some of the players, and she has her own mini-path with the stalking, texting, etc. She’s not as close with Quinn as she used to be, and with Lily worming her way in, one might just again get something there. Camilla is also her friend so maybe points with her also matters.

Other than that? Maybe if Nora starts teaching this episode then that could give some variation, but yeah I think you’ve covered most of it.

I guess there could be something about Maya+Josy IF you heavily favored other girl during season 2. The relationship could start to crumble down but honestly I don't see it happening myself so fast.

Also there could be major choices which can heavily impact a path and alter rest of the episode

in fact since MC has yet to speak with Maya and Josy ,if he have chosen them, one of the runs could be theirs should a series of actions or relationships lead to a negative outcome

another very remote possibility: should the issue of Maya's loan be even seemingly closed they could begin runs dedicated only to Josy or Maya, and even these would be on dedicated runs tied to certain decisions

It got so much better right now

is the game stopped share update from F95 or dev doesn't update the game since 6 month ?

 

[felicemastronzo]

the developer updates the pateons on the status of development every Friday and someone reports this statement here in the thread
except when the release is really close, he never gets out of line with the release date

as far as we know so far definitely not before the end of October, probably November, but it could also be December

No, the development cycle has grown to 8 months at least due to the size of the updates, they have become huge. We are now nearing the end of the development cycle and we have about two months left at the most.

thanks for spare time and answer mate <3

While I don't believe I have ever accused DPC of milking (because I have seen some devs that seriously do), I will say this. The excuses/reasoning used on some delays, combined with him initially saying ep 9 was his intention to start with shorter/smaller episodes again, and looking at what's come out of him in the last several updates make me think..

"Sure, maybe he's not milking it yet, but he's sure getting a good feel-up of that teat."

From what ive noticed this is seemingly the natural evolution of a VN.

"When I hit X patrons I can afford Y, resulting in faster updates!"
"After this upcoming update I plan to move to smaller, more reasonable updates."

How many times have you seen those statements and how many times has it been true?

I don't consider this milking though, at least not in DPC's case. Rather, I see this as the result of working in an environment in which scope is never kept in check.

IC$TOR is a prime example of milking whereas devs like DPC simply don't know when to stop. I wouldnt be surprised at all if the next update takes 10-12 months, the following update 11-13, so on and so on.

I think it ultimately comes down to the individual what their threshold is.

i gotta say Maya and Joesy are so annoying , let me have alone time with Jill ffss

 

[homejorz]

Bella all the way my dudes. How can you say no to a woman like that. mid to late 30s voluptuous and wild in the sack! Hope she really goes crazy on MC again in the next update. considering that she is letting loose now

lmfao riona hands down the lamest looking chick in the game
I'd even put the goblin above her!

i gotta say Maya and Joesy are so annoying , let me have alone time with Jill ffss

I mean, if any other LI fan wrote this, I'd say they have a fair point for saying so
but the annoying AF goblin queen? for crying out loud!

Remember when the game had updates every 2-3 months?

Thats pretty petty in my opinion. I think almost everybody deserves some form of happiness after getting their comeuppance. In theory im not against prostitution and think it should be legal everywhere but Quinns version of it with coercion/blackmail and drugs is abhorrent to me and she needs to pay for it. Her story is probably the most interesting one in the game really, the justification she has and what goals she has. Is she a petty crook (money goal) or a bad politician (power hunger) or a broken person doing broken shit because thats all she knows? Petty, bad and broken are my choice of words because shes not very good at what shes doing, the ship is leaking everywhere. Regardless, at the moment shes extremely interesting, top 2 character in the game storywise for me.

Her only saving grace is broccoli moments, which are admittedly great, but other then that she's a nasty human bean. Druggie street rat pimp with the heart of gold? hard pass. Still waiting for MC and Derek taking revenge on her, though I don't expect it to be anything drastic, as overall theme of the game is quite mellow.
She wouldn't be so bad if she was trying to go clean or didn't go behind Tommy, but she's not. Right now she's a Bad End for sorority when Sage graduates. Hopefully MC can influence Sage to appoint another heir. Maybe Josy?
