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

[Zara Scarlet]

Some of the minigames need a serious overhaul, because they just don't work the way they're supposed to. Half the time on the Brawler game when I press on something, nothing happens, which makes it virtually impossible to win. I've given up trying at this point. It also means it's very difficult to win any of the in-game fights, without making multiple repetitions, until the game responds as it should.

Also all the games where you have to navigate courses with the mouse cursor ( such as the mini game when the MC paints Bella's fence), you move the cursor over a particular area and it doesn't fill up, so you have to go back over the same area again, which means you end up running out of time. And that means you can't get the special renders, which are a reward for completing these games successfully.

Many of these issues have been around for a while, and so far the Dev has done nothing to correct them. Brawler for instance is just a waste of time as things stand, and I just ignore it completely. That means I've got no chance of earning the renders that you can only get by playing this mini game

I play this game on PC, and have never had any of these problems, are you running the game on an android or something?

Just out of curiosity. What version of the game do you play? I play the Windows version on a pretty powerful hardware and have zero problems with the mini-games, including Brawler, whatsoever.

This week I wrote dialogue for several scenes. Lately, I've had a good flow when it comes to writing. I have written long canon scenes and important branching scenes with ease.

He is talking about the scenes that happen in every branch.

I think he means the scenes that all paths have in common, regardless of any affinity, status, or chosen path.

Best Girl Tournament

What all some of you have been waiting for is here. Time to see who this thread picked as best girl of badik. Because of vote tampering miscounting I had to change some things to make it fair. Before that the tournament was elimination style, except you can't have a draw in elimination. Which is what happened when Sage and Quinn went head to head. So the plan I talked about is that I turned the last rounds from elimination to round robin. The four girls in this round of course were Cammy, Quinn, Rio, and Sage. Each of them had a match vs everyone else. The result of each round of this stage is the following:

Round 1
View attachment 2361357

Here we had the infamous Sage vs Quinn draw, and Rio beating her best friend.
The exact numbers are:
Quinn 21 - 21 Sage
Cammy 12 - 30 Rio

Round 2
View attachment 2361383

Aka the fake final and bronze match. Rio and Cammy put up some fight, but ultimately had no chance.
Rio 12 - 22 Sage
Cammy 8 - 26 Quinn

Round 3
View attachment 2361388

You heartless bastards declared that you are ok with Rio abuse ...Oh yeah and Sage also won.
Cammy 6 - 24 Sage
Rio 11 - 19 Quinn

Round Robin Table

	Win	Draw	Loss	Total Votes
Cammy	-	-	3	26
Quinn	2	1	-	66
Rio	1	-	2	53
Sage	2	1	-	67

Since there were no underdog upsets after the 2 titans faced off in the first round it was a tie again between Sage and Quinn. So ultimately it came down to how well they did vs Cammy and Rio. Which was as close as it possibly could be without a tie (thank fuck for no tie ).

Closing statement
Thanks everyone who voted, without engagement the tournament would've sucked. It was fun to see how split we are on best girls, we had three ties and the final winner came down to a difference of one vote. It started out as a one-off post so I wasn't properly prepared for this, so apologies about the Quinn mishap. If I do this again after Episode 10 I'll be more experienced, and hopefully this won't happen again

What? Quinn over Rio? Fuck, sure people are evil.

I missed the 3rd round, I didn't see the post even when I entered the site everyday, my fault. Certainly unfair the abuser gets silver...

What the fuck are you talking about, dude? The canon scenes always existed in all episodes regardless of the existence of branches or not. The canon scenes mentioned by the DPC must be the events that happen in the plot that are not connected with the LI (for example, the Jocks destroying the DIK's mansion).

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

There is good reason to be optimistic right now, but if starts milking and mother fucking and being a lazy ass we get him

He will read ChipLecsap comments and will add 10 more Madame scenes to extend development time.
Jokes aside, when i read Q&A, I got the impression that he was reading the Reddit fan page and F95.

 

[saynotoNTR]

I got the impression that he was reading the Reddit fan page and F95.

When he mentioned fan theories, Dalli came to mind. I'm sure the DPC has read some of the shit Dalli writes, God wouldn't just let us F95 members be forced to read all of Dalli's preposterous theories while DPC gets away with it.

Jill's the canon and Maya's the cannon.

Tehnically, canon wise Zoey is the only girl MC slept with. The rest are just DIKing/fetish fodder

I had zero problems with Brawler (except it's a pain in the ass due to boredom, of course). I also don't remember having issues with the painting. I don't know...

Whatever, you can always play without minigames to get those renders. Thought I like some of them and some others I really don't understand what I'm suppossed to do, for example, without minigames I lose fixing the DIK house so I don't have the car there, and I didn't understand how I was suppossed to win at fights or tennis, there were options but I didn't understand it, while if you only have to have reflexes to hit the keys onscreen there was no issue.

Only 8 months to go...

 

[captcha69]

She's an alert girl, there's no doubt about that. As for her academic performance, I'd bet she cheats, like Derek and the DIK MC, for example.

but Derek doesnt cheat... or at least he never accept that he cheats... wait, doe he cheat? and Bella can tell if someone is smart or not, they show that when she have his chat with Sage, i dont think Bella will just say that Lily is her favorite without having a chat with her, right?

 

[saynotoNTR]

Some of the minigames need a serious overhaul, because they just don't work the way they're supposed to. Half the time on the Brawler game when I press on something, nothing happens, which makes it virtually impossible to win.

The only time I thought Brawler was buggy was when I trained with Sage. I couldn't win, even though I won all the previous fights. It took a while to figure out that I just got my ass kicked by the Best Girl.

 

[c.mork]

What? Quinn over Rio? Fuck, sure people are evil.

I missed the 3rd round, I didn't see the post even when I entered the site everyday, my fault. Certainly unfair the abuser gets silver...

Ikr? Some people...

Derek is never shown cheating, but Maya recognizes that Derek got where he did by cheating. Also, Derek sells the MC some tips for cheating on exams. In episode 9, if you go Bella's route, Derek will tell Bella about all the tricks he uses to fool the teachers (unaware that he is talking to Bella herself). It's clear on Bella's face the anger she feels at being made a fool of by Derek during class.
