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

Not sure about the text, but you can get the images by running the attached script from the game folder (where the exe is) and picking 8.

RPA is the archive where the game files are, you can delete them after Unren finishes extracting.

The game will continue to work without the RPA files.

Actually nevermind I'm dumb. I found the images inside the "game" folder.

You can go with 0.8.1 if you want, you dont ahve to change that, 0.8.1 conmcludes season 1 and two, and this will forever be the case.

Yeah there are some bugfixes in 0.8.3 but honestly? those bugs never occured in a playthrough for me, or i never noticed. They are minor bugs anyways i think.

Nearly every complain about "bugs" or problems around here are due to used cheats and mods. So no you dont need 0.8.3.

But the major changes were about the music... i love the music in 0.8.1 and yeah the changes in 0.8.3 are a set back... so i went with 0.8.1 a while. Recently i used 0.8.3 to create new playthroughs though, and i must say... since season 3 uses the same music and more like 0.8.3 its kinda a better fit overall. If i play it with the old music there is a little bit of a "cut" between season 2 and 3 that feels odd around the soundtrack. But that is just me... so yeah after some time getting used to it, i prefer playing season 1+2 with version 0.8.3 now.

Anyways, you can use 0.8.1 in the future, no problems here, and for the interlude and season 3 you always have to import the save out of season 2 which you have to make at the end of it. This is the way to go now, and will not change anymore i think.

If you prefer the music out of 0.8.1, you can stick with it... if not, you can savely use 0.8.3 without losing anything. You dont have to worry if 0.8.1 or 0.8.3 saves will work with season 3, they do, and will so in the future. That is, if you didnt use any mods...

thanks for the input !

So a more technical question? Is there a way to extract a file and see a character's dialogue? For example I want to read some of Jill's dialogues for some very specific scenarios and they are pretty far into the game and I don't care to do a whole playthrough just for that.
On a similar note, can you extract a character's renders? Like all of them that are used in the game?

I do not know if you have also got the script .rpy files along with the images after running the batch file that c.mork attached to his post. These .rpy files contain all the dialogues present in the game. Look if you have these files somewhere inside of the 'game' subfolder in your game directory.

(For seasons 1 and 2)
update8.rpy
update7.rpy
update6.rpy
etc.

(For season 3)
update9.rpy
ep9_freeroam_ph1_events.rpy
ep9_freeroam_ph2_events.rpy
etc.

If you have them, then you are good to go. The contents of these .rpy can be seen (and edited) with the text editor of your choice (Windows' integrated notepad will do, for instance).

Anyway, it is good practice to either make a backup of your game directory before using unren or make a copy of your game directory and then use unren only with this copy of your game directory you just made. This way, you can always roll back in the case something goes wrong.

Finally, if you cannot find those .rpy files, then you'll have to run the batch file again. This time choose first option #1 and then the #2.

Oh hell yeah! It did extract them with the #8 option. Time to study those files! One more question: what is the difference between .rpyc and .rpy files?

No, I don't think so Josy would have dropped Maya. Josy also said to the MC in the bathroom that maybe it was a mistake and that she makes mistakes. Then the MC called himself a mistake and was pissed.

Yes Maya said in EP3 so they were about to break up but were not broken up. But why? Josy couldn't text Maya back for a week because Pete took her phone away. Maya thought so Josy ghosted her. Kind of reminds me of the interlude and Zoey and the MC situation. But the difference is so it was much longer than a week with Zoey and the MC where Zoey didn't answer the MC.

Strange. In EP8 with me it says so things are better but that they need to keep working on it or something like that. With me, Josy feels safe having sex for the first time in EP7 with the MC. She even said it to the MC.

Also, one thing should not be ignored. In EP8, the MC can tell Josy so he got Chad and Troy. This is how we find out what a beard is. Well Chad is gay or BI and used Sage as a beard. Maya doesn't know what she is yet and is experimenting with the MC. Josy is BI. What if the MC secretly became the beard for Josy and/or Maya? Josy said to MC so she hopes Chad is at least Bi because otherwise he would have just used Sage. I think so that could happen on Josy and Maya's boyfriend path with the MC.

The drinking game is probably deciding if there will be a breakup between Josy and Maya. In EP8, JB mentions so he thinks the MC is a player. Indeed, the questions are strange, but there is a way through this maze. If the questions are too provocative, they will lead to separation.

I really think the beard thing doesn't mean anything but for Chad, Troy and poor Sage . Josy and Maya was close to breaking up before Pete took Josy phone things where bad with them before we meet them. I could be wrong but when I play from the start it feels like Josy is willing to leave maya or at least thinking about it of course it isn't that easy but thats the feeling I get.

I enjoyed seeing the halloween-decorated mansion in full 3D, it gave me an immersive feeling that the place really exists, as did the animation before the third act of the party.
But the first one with Bella's door is completely incomprehensible. What is its meaning? Is this a hint, a teaser for the events of Season 3 or a flashback? While contradictory, I'm not sure whether it was worth spending resources on this.

Yeah I agree.

It's kind of bitchy ? Right , While playing one of the best Adult VN and not supporting dev financial. They always find something wrong and annoyed from.

Yes, We have to be critical of products we are enjoying and girv right criticism on weak points to make it better.

But they are like " I have click to much in this episode, the animations are unnecessary and DIK / Chick system is or choices system are shitty and on and on.

While they don't think In party episode, depending on paths, events and choices there will be too much to render So click and execute an event was one of the best option.

Obviously DCP loves the game so he made really good animations for the hyped episode.

I don't even want to go dik/Chick path and choies, impacts, events and necessity for MC character build up . . .

Like me I hate Jill and maya characters but i understand their necessity for game and how much important they are and why these characters are these way . So DCP can satisfy every player need.

While I speak ile about those character, doesn't mean I hate game but some people are just throwing shit on game.

Sometimes i think people are just really ungrateful

Sages face when maya mentions zoey at the party has me wondering what type of drama could happen afterwards when shes mentioned in a normal setting instead of a fun party atmosphere

Josy was about to move to her mother because she was not accepted to B&R. She was ready for a Fresh start.

Josy was about to move to the east coast but I thought her Mother wasn't that far away

Dalli thought exercise here:

I've noticed that you never get to read what Quinn is thinking, but you do get to read Josy's thoughts from time to time, I don't feel like doing a whole playthrough just to figure this out, so does anyone have a list or something of which characters who's thoughts you get to read and which characters you don't get to read the thoughts of.

I'm curious because it insinuates that there's something deeper going on that has to be hidden from the player for the time being, and I want to see if I can figure out which characters might be involved in it.

My guess is that it has to do with the whole differentiation between main girls and side girls. But I might be wrong about this.

These are emotions. People are concerned about the speed of updates, and I understand them. Everyone was satisfied with mini-games, extra animations and other stuff until the development speed went beyond 6 months. People want to get the game quickly and not wait years to see the continuation of the story.
Long animations really take a very long time to render, one of the animations was processed for a month. I don't know how many computers he used on this case. So if DPC wants the game to stand out from the rest with these animations, then he should think about upgrading the hardware.
I don't belong to the "I hate DPC" gang like some here or the entire fandom on Reddit (Recently there has been a hysteria due to special clone series renders. Lol this is ridiculous, a few dozen renders with clones will take a couple of days and these guys seem to live in a bubble, not knowing that all the big developers periodically release fan service.) But I allow myself criticism when I see it appropriate, there are things I don't like and they can be corrected.

As for Jill and Maya, I don't hate these characters, they are the least interesting for me as LI. And I don't like how DPC develops Jill's personality along her route, completely breaking her character, and Maya and bank debt storyline dragged on.

we constantly hear Jill thinking, even Bella in her moments of crisis, and we heard Maya's thoughts on the night of the taser.

I don't remember any episodes only related to Sage (among the LIs), meant as thoughts explicitly messu in writing

Threesome and foursome

We can only hope. Who knows we might even have more than a foursome. Both Maya and Josy wouldn't mind having sage around. Now we just need to get Zoey involved and we are set

My guess is that it has to do with the whole differentiation between main girls and side girls. But I might be wrong about this.

IIRC we see Jade's thoughts, Nora's thoughts, Camila's thoughts, Riona's thoughts, Sarah and Mel as well, but in no instance do we ever see Quinn's thoughts, I'm not sure about Lily but I don't think so.

We see Maya's thoughts, Josy's thoughts, Bella's thoughts, Jill's thoughts, I think also Sage's thoughts.

there is one aspect of their relationship that I do not understand: what were Josy's intentions once she arrived at BR?

if MC had her own room, when would she have spoken to Maya and to tell her what? "meet my new boyfriend"?

why doesn't she phone Maya but then still show up at her door? just because they assigned her that room? otherwise she would have ghosted her for a few more hours?

I believe Josy approached the MC, first and foremost, was to lay-low for awhile. Probably hook up and all that. At that time she very much thought her relationship with Maya was over.

 

[felicemastronzo]

I think Josy wanted to talk to Fuckface, tell him about Maya and then decide what to do, I personally think she would've chosen Fuckface over Maya if things went differently, being assigned to Maya's room meant it was a lot harder to break up with her.

on the phone Josy anticipates that she wants to talk to him, but I don't see what

ok, she would talk to him about Maya, but to tell him what? that she's her ex? because you can't go "sleep" in MC's bed at BR to end it, or at any rate to suspend the story with him and then go and clear it up with Maya.
doesn't make sense

"fortunately" everything is resolved by the twist and MC running away, otherwise, in my opinion, everything would have inevitably ended that night, each of their relationships would have ended badly
