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

[ImSenjou]

Did any of you played this ep at all? She explains it pretty clearly, she does what she does because she doesn't get attached. She is afraid that MC falling in love with her will eventually make her develop feelings and then her plan of funding her dreams through sexwork will come in jeopardy. How many players in a potential exclusive relationship with her will still be ok with her grinding diks for a living?

I didn't play her path, so I'll ask, in their relationship, when they decide to roll together, will she continue to just strip, or does she do something more, like having sex with other guys?
We know other stripers do this, but I've never paid attention to see if Lily does it too.

From what I understand, reading the script before the mod was updated, is that she was using the MC, using his fame and popularity, to increase her value, which makes sense if she's selling herself, who doesn't want to fuck the girl of the most popular guy on campus? If you pay well, it's possible!

Again, I haven't played her path, so to summarize, in this path she is exclusive to him, or is that not the case?

I don't intend to try her path, I'll just stick with Sage and Josy, I even abandoned Quinn...

Just wondering how much time our DrPInkCake pal wasted on Madame Rose and that damn new math game.

Yeah. But also, a part of me thinks he is starting to milk things. I will wait to jump to conclusions. But I have that growing feeling that this is what is happening. Episode 9 was a December release, and this one was a December release. So, I think he is making us get used to getting the episodes in December. If it happens for episode 11, Then yearly releases are set in stone.

It was a cool episode, except maybe we are getting too many minigames. I found it interesting, that some talk of pregnancy came up with Nicole, Josy and Sage. Makes me think some of them are going to get knocked up sooner or later, especially Nicole.

Either she admits her feelings for the MC and then quit her job OR they will stay fuckbuddies. if you played this ep, you saw that she kissed him, and then he said: "I tought you said no romance", she replied "sorry". (Sorry for my bad english)
I'm really excited for ep 11.

She is not exclusive to him nor he is to her, she don't care if MC fuck other girls and she also expects MC to not care if she does so, which don't mean she will go and fuck other guys, that's just the prerrogative to her whole 'rolling' stuff.

It's more of a dinamic shift overall, they will trust each other and rely on each other for every thing, they will cover for each other and protect each other above all else. Kill a guy? Call me MC! Rob a bank? Sure, let's fucking go! Kiddnap a baby? Hell yeah, i'm all for it. That's more or less how i can summarize this

Why are people acting like the Madame Rose scenes set him back 3 months?

They probably only took a few hours and were an excuse to keep his GPUs running.

Frankly, i'm all for quality over quantity but this is just mean and ridiculous. I replayed the game before ep9 release and replayed again before ep10 just because of how much time has passed since both releases.

I'm still giving DPC the benefit of doubt since he did a big shift in some systems and other stuff in ep9 and 10 since you can be kind of locked in a route now and there's more switches being activated because of it, but if he don't clarify in his next few posts what's the future of the next update i don't know... ep10 was nowhere close to being long enough for such a long wait, it could easily be double the ammount of time put in the gameplay if you ask me.

brawler, i just cant win, i tryed over and over and over is there a trick too it or?

People are not mad because of time, they are mad because it's fricking Madame Rose. Why not use these scenes on other girls? Camilla for example, she got shit in the ep.

Edit note: I'm actively suspecting Nick to be the mole now.

That's the most obvious and hinted person and that's why I don't think he's the one, even though he sees Vinny. Who other it is, I have no clue.

I was earlier thinking maybe there's some remote access to the computer (also in earlier episode we saw Stephen watching film MC/Jade during Hell's week trial). Stephen could also be motivated to put the Cathy image to rooster.

In episode 9, how Vinny was able to open the safe when only Rusty/Tommy/MC knew the combination (at least at that point according to the story)? I was hoping the stolen DIK computer (at least I think Vinny takes it then) would be handled in EP10 but I guess we'll be seen some drama later MC being the possible culprit.

Unless you cheat it's just practice. Focus on dodging the hits instead of blocking is the most i can give in terms of gameplay and then you should focus on putting all your points in speed and dmg, the rest is useless honestly.

Make sure to switch from Hard to Normal difficulty.

Brawler became more challenging, but it has a pattern. It was 2 phases. 1: where you pick an attack. 2: where you pick a defensive move.

During the Attack Phase, I never pick rage. I like sustained guaranteed damage rather than something based on how fast you put in directional inputs during rage mode. So I never pick it.

Phase 2: When defending, always pick dodge, not block. But dodge. When you block, you still take damage, but very little; when you dodge, you take none. Sometimes, it will not give you the option to select dodge, and in those moments. Pick block. The block damage is kinda cheap. my opinion

One, the MC didn't have the combo at the time of the Cathy Rooster picture being posted. Two, the only DiKs unaccounted for at the time were Jacob, JamJam, Leon, Nick and Rusty. Nick is a red herring. He's too obvious. Tommy, as much as I hate to say it, was watching us play spin the bottle.

as soon as i did that i got it my 2nd try

and also still wish could just be with Riona! <3

I left the game after episode 6 (so loooong ago) and picked it up again this week after episode 10 came out. As always, it's a technical masterpiece and quite good story-wise.

I don't really like so many mini-games, although most of them are really well done, and it seems like the focus is now on one party per episode, I'm not a fan of that either, because it seems to take a long time to make them, and the story doesn't really progress much in them.

As always, the cliffhanger at the end of the episode makes us bite our nails and wait for another year. This time I am more interested in finding out if the problem with Maya can be solved. Riona's "problem" also came as a surprise...

Well... See you next year! Hahaha

 

[jd8097619]

Cute, but sad. Doomed as fuck. Whether you reject her outright post Ep9, or go forward with a date... There's nothing at the end of that route. They both know it... It's just a futile effort. Good storytelling, solid for small screentime.

I don't know. Nicole's increasing screentime from just "sexy stripper" to arguably being the least "soap-opera" choice at present is definitely making it seem like unless DPC just axes all the "others" as "bad ends" there'll be something there.

Frankly, when every other route so far keeps getting hung up on #Drama of increasingly petty variety, Nicole comes across as one of the saner characters in the game (and also one of the few that isn't affected by DPC's tendency to seemingly increase the breasts of characters by the current economic inflation rate at the time of each episode's launch).

 

[jd8097619]

Hot Take: I liked the episode but do not think it warrants a whole year's wait. I bet all episodes will be a yearly release now.

The only thing that's making me think it could be six monthly right now is how much of the animation time in Ep 10 seemed to be for Brawler 2.0. Would not at all be surprised if that alone is responsible for a stupid amount of development time.
