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

[bloodyasura]

Today I made a model of Quinn in DAZ. And I threw it in ZBrush. For the first time in a long time, I went into ZBrush, and oh, my God, what an not intuitive interface it has. It’s gonna take a few days to get used to this shit again. But maybe by next Halloween, I’ll definitely be done, zombie Quinn, who gives heart to the MC.
Like in this picture.

Yeah, it’s an extra hand, but it’s not my fault, it’s all the neural networks. Quinn, I’m not doing three hands.
I’m thinking of making two versions of the renderer, one more realistic, with white-eyed blind eyes and a real heart in her hands, and the other one with all the magic lights, like the picture, glowing eyes, heart.
If your GODDESS becomes a zombie, will you still love her? Will you accept her heart?

Well, actually, there are rumors that the MC also comes from a wealthy family. Maybe even from the Burgmeisters. And if Jill’s parents find out that he has an influential grandparents, I don’t think they’ll look at his father’s poverty. So it’s a marriage made in heaven.
Although, of course, if my theory is correct and he is Royce. Then, yes... as they say - incest, it’s family business.

Those two theories have been around for a very long time, but they always fail in Episode 1 when the MC's dad drives him to the Burgmeister and Royce College. We are used to inconsistent and sometimes even annoyingly stupid storylines but I think this one would tip the scales and have people up in arms.

Every dad on the planet would say something along the lines of "Be proud son, your mother was a burgmeister/royce.", if that were actually the case. But since that didn't happen and if we then later find out that that actually IS the case, it would instantly jump to the most braindead storyline in the history of gaming, it would even beat the tuition crap with ease.

On top of that DPC doesn't do incest or would even tip his toe onto that patreon landmine.

It has been discussed many many many times, but the eventual consensus was always that the MC's family on his mother's side was not as rich as the game makes the Burgmeisters/Royces out to be. Simply because super loaded people don't move into a hotel they just bought, while it's being renovated, they would wait until it's done.

 

[TimHawk]

The only thing I'm critical of the thread is that some people go into overprotective mode when someone criticizes their waifu (I used to suffer from this myself, but recovered) and start wars over it.
Now I think what difference does it make who says some? If someone doesn't like Sage, Zoey, Bella, Riona, etc., then will I start a war with them? No. Depending on my mood, I’ll try to counter-argument the criticism, or just pass by.

That one I never understood, on the one hand people want as many girls to choose from as possible and on the other hand they get, as you said, overprotective. I really don't understand that need for validation, if you like girl A, what difference does it make if another guy doesn't and instead prefers girl B ? It makes no sense to even have an argument over that one, since taste and preferences are what they are.

The only thing that manages to get me riled up is the Anti-ntr brigade ( I think we discussed this before ), or any other group for that matter, that tries to force their views onto others and won't stop spewing nonsense and disrupt the entire flow on the thread.

If I were a shrink, I'd flood F95 with ads for my practise, and maaaaaaaan...I would be shitting gold bricks.

I actually suspect that either his father is as wooden as MC and did not ask the name Lynette, or maybe he resented her family for some reason and therefore did not say anything to MC, or Lynette herself asked not to tell MC who she is. Anyway, I didn’t see her body at all, so maybe she was just forced to leave Neal and MC with blackmail, because we know her father was against this alliance. And now the MC is a grown-up, and let’s say the more blackmailed she was before, the less relevant she is, so she’s sending the MC her diaries, let’s say preparing him for a meeting with her. Actually then the resentment of Neal would also have been understood why he never found a new woman. He is still loyal to Lynette and waiting for her.
And in the hotel, if I remember correctly, lived only Lynette, because she was tired of her father or ,something like that. I definitely do not remember.

Oh if you are talking "Lynette is alive", you are talking to the one who came up with that theory and discussed it more times than I care to remember.

But again it all fails in terms of Neil not pointing it out when he drives the MC to College. Neil is never shown as petty, and all he cares about is his son, no matter how much he would resent or even hate Lynette and/or her family he would not deny his son that side of his lineage.

I'll keep this very very short, because I can't go through all of it again at length.

Theory is, that Lynette is alive and instead of dying after giving birth, when she discovered that she is pregnant, being an 18 year old girl, she told Neil that she is gonna have an abortion or give the child up for adoption and Neil said "No, I'll take him." and Lynette then said "Fine, but tell him I died, so there is no chance of him trying to find me."

And by now she is guilt tripping hard, which made her sent her diary to the MC, which will tell us her side of the story and conclude with the MC finding out what really happened.

 

[TimHawk]

But it could all be much simpler. The MC simply forgot his DIK jacket at Nicole's after sex with Lily and Nicole and Lily puts it on and goes to class with it.

OH HELL NO !!! Bro, take that back ! If you start making sense all of the sudden...I just can't handle it...the thread would die, wormholes would form, earthquakes, vulcanic eruptions...just NO !

Puuuuuuhlease change that to something like "In Episode 5 we see a picture of a lion...get it ? Alion !!! ALIEN !!! They beamed the MC's jacket onto Lily, and she just had to show it off. It's all in the game guys, you just have to start to pay attention to the small details!"

Bro I'm already starting to shake, fix that ASAP !

This is it. My friends can’t stand Josy, but I’m okay with her, I see both her shortcomings and her strengths.
I don’t like Jill, but they are not against her, although like everyone else they laugh and make memes.
And we get along great together. We're probably too old for this.
Anti-NTR crowd, how good it is that they are no longer here. Surprisingly, the BaDIK thread became clear of Anti-NTR crusaders, although F95 is full of them.

A short but good update for today.

The animation queue is down to 6 animations. After they're completed, I need to post-process them and test the lewd scenes to ensure that they work. After that, beta testing can start, and it will start sometime next week.

The final preview for episode 10 drops on Wednesday, and next Friday will be the final status update before the release date announcement.

This development cycle is about to reach its end.

Have a nice weekend.

[Fapparition]

Wow, and an actual new hairstyle that looks good ?! WTF happened? someone take over from dpc ? He hired some Fan-art maker ?

It's probably because you can't go worse than those twintails

Don't be fooled ! She's clearly craving for the Chick MC !

Well, Chick MC got that freebie from Lily in ep. 5

I'm not looking for validation from people here, that's why I replied to the post where I've been called out and tried to explain myself.

Fixed

So probably a November release?

 

[Joshy92]

You know I would have a much nicer weekend if DPC gave me all his money

 

[PereFourreAss]

So probably a November release?

Most likely December 1st, DPC only releases on Fridays

 

[Mfka5]

He wouldnt give you a dollar.
But rather would accuse you of hurting his business by taking away his 1 dollar.

The explanation will surely be ridiculous, at which point we start with this certainty

Neil doesn’t hate Lynette. He’s more resentful of her father. And as I said in the previous comment, it was her father who could blackmail Lynette into leaving Neil and MC, and this lever of blackmail was relevant, right up until the MC became an adult and by now the lever had weakened and Lynette was preparing the MC to meet her. And Neal’s not telling him anything because of this leverage. And when he handed over the letter and diaries to Lynette MC it was Lynette who asked Neal to do it, she told him - dear, the lever of blackmail is about to collapse, let’s get our baby ready to meet me. And after that, Neal handed over his inheritance to MC.
But judging by how the MC took the truth about Josie and Maya, I’m afraid the long-awaited meeting with Lynette will be overshadowed by our little bitch running away crying, blaming the world for living a lie.

So, Quinn is one of the main LIs now?

 

[aykarin]

Yea I'm probably thinking that one's going to be a very, slow burn. Hopefully before the end of Season 3 and ideally next episode but realistically, I can see DPC dragging it out all the way to the last episode of the season. Then we finally get a solo Josy path in season 4.

I'm sure it's as you say and it will take a very long time for they break-up to finally happen. DPC will keep escalating the tensions between them, adding more and more drama each update. Before solo Josy path finally happens, all of us will be probably tired of this shit. As DPC strongly dislikes branching, he will try to keep Josy-Maya path unified as long as it's possible. The player's attitute toward both of them will probably have no real impact until the very last moment when it will decide the fate of M&J relationship and the course that path takes. Which will probably happen by the end of season 3.
