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

[Ottoeight]

In my opinion, the main drawback of the episode, no matter how banal it sounds, is a long time of development. Nothing has hurt the game so much as a long wait, hundreds of thousands of lines of theories and player fatigue.
Therefore, DPC was faced mainly with a cool response and not such a large increase in subscribers to the patreon as it was after episode 8. In order for this episode to work, he needs to release episode 10 as soon as possible, and preferably in the summer. At least there are several reasons to think so:
1) he stopped making custom renders and, according to him, saved 10% of the time
2) in episode 10 there will be fewer freeroams that devoured most of the development due to complex code and complex renders with a large number of objects in the scene.
I would be very, very surprised if episode 10 comes out again in the fall, because there are no objective reasons for this.

Too late. The damage is done.

Don't expect anything from this game and from DrPinkCake anymore: he won't change anything.

What's worse is that the story is slowly going south. Honestly, my interest in this game has almost totally vanished.

Am I supposed to wait 1 more year because the Dude really wants to show us a couple of totally unnecessary animation intros? hidden bonus pictures and quite a few scenes with totally and unnecessary side characters? new music app? a new puzzle game in MC's phone? is DrPinkCake for real?

Man, we waited for 1 year for a story which is moving forward with a crappy nonsensical plot development at snail's pace.

some speculate its one of the early swyper girls (the one who says she likes to party with wavy hair)

fair points all around. but if he cant keep his own ideas focused on the end game, each episode will be bigger and more bloated than the one before it. and the bigger and more complex each episode is, the higher chance that a larger number of people will experience something to find fault in/criticize/be upset about.

the story and characters are core to this game's popularity and success. i dont think that is debatable, tbh. and if he keeps stalling the story and limiting character arcs/interaction, then over time more and more people will be dissatisfied. nobody boots this game up ONLY for the free roams and mini-games and random animations outside of the lewd stuff. those are merely extra things and should not be such a major focus for him, IMO

I think he cut out some of the content from Episode 9 so as not to overwhelm the game. It's really strange that there are no dorm girls scenes. Although the episode is called Vixens. So I think he understands it.
As for the long beautiful animations that are not related to the story - many do this, for example Ocean. By the way, this animation with Bella's door is most likely a teaser for the next episodes (I haven't completed Bella route yet, I'm just going to today)

Plot Hole Alert!

So it's a pretty major plot hole when Sage says she doesn't like Jill because she thinks Jill is Tybalt's lover. The problem is that there is pretty reasonable evidence that Sage/Tyballs knows this isn't true based on Rooster posts earlier in the game.

Spoiler: Evidence that Sage knows Jill and Tybalt aren't together

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Note this doesn't even include other Rooster posts where Tybalt is clearly being put down/rejected/ignored by Jill and Isabella, and while Sage or Tyballs does not appear in those tweet threads, in all likelihood Sage is stalking Tybalt's social media enough to have seen them. This is not even counting the fact that Sage most of all should be aware that her pathetic brother does not, in fact, have any girlfriend/lover, let alone Jill.

So I need to replay the game again? Also by modded you obviously mean that its cause of the previous gallery unlocker? What do I need to do here?

I suppose you told him that in official discord? Not in f95, where you just wasted your words for nothing.

I am sorry but by modded you mean the cheats or gallery unlocker of previous versions? What do i need to here? Replay the game from start?

She's on your bed.

Preferably clean start from the beginning. No problems every update!

I have the same problem, what I did was check the season 3 save file folder (in renpy and game folder), remove all season 2 save/persistent, replace it with new fresh save file from post 1, import then everything running without problem.

Wouldnt I have a problem again with clean start? I mean the version/files already have the gallery unlocker/cheats.

If you'd like to have every little detail to your liking. Yes you should start again.
But if you're ok with someones save modded/unmodded, go for that, but don't expect the save to have the same decisions as your original. Your name can be changed easily via the phone

It's not the content itself annoyed me .... when people waited for so long 4 an update they have certain expecations like plot advancing , characters development , etc ; and this ep falls short on both of them XD

My position is this: this episode is not what many wanted. People were waiting for the continuation of the story and answers to many questions after a long break. But this episode is different. This is the reason for so many dissatisfied people. But this is just a psychological moment, people react this way because they expected something else.
But I think Episode 9 is good because it's everything Being a DIK is in the first place. Parties, humor, sex, pranks, college life.
This is most likely the reason why I highly appreciated Episode 9. I enjoy playing different things.
By the way, I often remember the comments in the thread, in which people said that it would be nice to have a huge party that would surpass all the others. It worked out. It was the coolest party so far, but I will add a drop of criticism. MC could do more crazy things.
But I have to say that some people overreact and get frustrated. Being such sensitive snowflakes is not cool.

Doesn't matter the path, she appreciates the offer but says she doesn't have clothes to wear so she declines.

Edit: She does say maybe next time though!

I see. I just saw the option but never actually choose it, lol

 

[Incognymous]

How Can i Change Name ?

I think there's an option on the phone. the place where you can change your rooster/swyper nickname.

 

[Ilhares]

Dude i just got kicked out of dik server and patreon for asking saves location smh..

Wild guess here; you aren't a patron level that would have access to the latest update, and so he nuked you.

any updates on mod? mainly the gallery unlocker..

The one that's been around since the release day?
