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

[AchedCroissant]

One thing I was wondering about in the past was whether galleries and whatever were gonna carry across the seasons, but I guess they aren't.

But looking at Season 3's reward gallery, it's interesting to see that it's already been set up for the main LIs (even if they weren't featured in the Interlude), plus only three Unknown.

So like in Seasons 1 & 2 there were 7 non-LI galleries (Cammy, Cathy, Nicole, Jade, Quinn, Riona & Sally). So I wonder who these 3 "Unknowns" will be.

I expect one will be Quinn, and if Zoey is gonna be a significant character and not just a cameo in episode 9, surely she will be one. Who would the third be?

If DPC is gonna be a stubborn motherfucker, it could be the Madame.

But what other character would deserve their own gallery if most of the girls will probably be relegated to the "Mixed" gallery (which already features Quinn and Riona)...

Cathy, Jade and Zoey

I just hope that none of this 18 new scenes are flashbacks or DNG

 

[Knight of the Dawn]

Please let there be a scene with heather.
I so want to cuck Tommy.

DnG! DnG!

How does this render not make you happy?

 

[El_Loco]

My highly speculative guess for (20)+(9) would be Maya & Josy, with them dressing up for that same occasion in (6) and (13).

Why not Sarah and Melanie?

A scene with sally would make me happy the other 3 can burn if you catch my drift

Well DnG Sally would be just the character to set them on fire!

I agree

 

[elbo911]

Why not Sarah and Melanie?

That may actually be a better guess, as the left one's skin tone might fit Sarah better. Also, it's been to long since I played if I forgot to pick Sarah first on every possible occasion.

Does anyone have a teaser for episode 9?

This topic was mentioned in the status update

You might have noticed how the Rewards screen looks slimmer than it did in Season 1-2, with the addition of three unknown girls.
Now is a good time to explain what this means for Season 3.

There will be eight special render sets in Season 3, and I want every main girl to have one set each. Patrons will decide the other three girls. You will also decide the order of the main girls' Special render sets for the episodes.

For episode 9, there will be two main girls featured. And for episodes 10-12, there will be one main girl and one unknown girl each, per episode. Since Sage just got a Special render set in episode 8, she's not included in the polls for episode 9.

The special render polls for episode 9 will be Poll #1: Josy vs. Maya and Poll #2: Bella vs. Jill. The winners get a set in episode 9 each. The first poll will be live tomorrow.

what I meant was the teaser from the last status update

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

And now the reality: we will most likely get two scenes per MG, which equals 10 scenes for all the main girls. The rest 8 - "Others". I hope at last there will be no scenes with Madame. People who only have one save with your LI: I really feel sorry for you.

 

[ffive]

If DPC is gonna be a stubborn motherfucker, it could be the Madame.

Search your feelings; you know this is true.

Bro, just comparing development time and number of scenes, I'm going to tell you that IMHO 18 new scenes don't excuse an almost-yearly-cycle-development at all.

I feel that many will be disappointed. I am disappointed. 1 year development for a BaDIK episode is pure madness.

And - as I've always said - I wish that Interlude crap had never existed.

 

[brymont92]

Guys, ive just redownload the game and let me tell you, without the good old songs its not the same ;(

 

[italianstallionxxx]

One fucking year between ep 8 and 9. Fucking ridículos. This shit Will end in 2050

That's 18 sex scenes. There's obviously more overall scenes than that.

And still harping on about the Interlude? People have spent more time crying about it than DPC spent making it.

One of the three sets could just be set to "others" and have the restaurant girls and the vixens. I agree with Quinn and Zoey being the other 2.
